Arriving early in the classroom, I could already hear the heated argument inside.
"What did you say! It's obvious that you softies didn't deal with those guys properly, why put the blame on me?"
I could hear Alikeshia's voice even through the door, truly terrifying.
"If it weren't for your smoke potions, we wouldn't have been defeated so quickly."
Bicrystal's lukewarm voice came through, indicating that the ones arguing were the two of them.
How am I so sure? Because the other two are not the argumentative type.
Pushing open the classroom door, indeed, that's what was happening.
Ben was still in the corner playing chess with himself, while Ona was reading a notebook. Even though I knew they both had a stronger sense of empathy than me, was Ona really this quiet?
I don't remember him that way.
Maybe he noticed my gaze, Ona looked up at me, gave a small smile, then continued reading.
Could it be that he's actually rare to start studying? It's unbelievable, this guy is surprisingly competitive.
But those two about to start fighting... I don't know what to say about them.
"So I said from the beginning to wear masks, why are you being so stubborn? In the end, my mask got snatched anyway, and who ended up unlucky?"
"Why didn't you just not use that thing from the beginning? Why use something that doesn't distinguish between friend and foe?"
Speaking of which, I actually feel a bit guilty. After all, some of my skills also don't distinguish between friend and foe. It's just that when I team up with others, having no teammates getting harmed avoids this situation.
And in yesterday's battle, among them, only poor thing was her teammate because they are from different realms just like us.
"Efficiency is important when using that kind of thing, right?"
"And the result? Still lost, didn't you?"
"So, it's all..."
"Alright you two, stop arguing."
I interrupted them, then walked over to a chair next to the lectern and sat down.
"I ask you, Alikeshia, if you didn't use your smoke potions, what are the chances of you defeating yesterday's four... no, defeating Bicrystal?"
"Um..."
Alikeshia hesitated for a moment, glanced at Bicrystal, and scratched her head.
"To be honest, I might not lose immediately, but I can't beat her."
"Huh?"
Even Bicrystal was surprised to hear Alikeshia's words.
"If I don't use wide-range effect potions, I can only cause harm by hitting others with potions with special effects. Also, even though I can use potions to heal the damage I receive, the potions I carry are limited. So to defeat this Steel Claw Lady, I think it's very difficult!"
"Steel Claw Lady..."
Bicrystal looked down at her hands, steam coming off her head.
"You, I thought you were finally talking normal, but then showing this attitude, do you want me to tear your mouth off?"
"Hmph, is that all your hand can do now? Must be very lonely at night, huh?"
"What?"
Bicrystal had a puzzled expression, I chuckled, and quickly said,
"Alright, Alikeshia, tone it down a bit. Bicrystal, I think you understand by now, this Alikeshia is full of foul language, and you know the outcome of arguing with her, right?"
"Um..."
Beryl thought for a moment, then turned back to her own seat.
"Hmph, who's talking dirty words? I'm just being myself. What's the point of always saying things that others like to hear?"
"Alexia, this won't do, it seems like you spent too much time on your floor, your lack of communication skills will definitely put you at a disadvantage."
"Hmph, mind your own business."
With that, this person also sat down.
I looked around at the students who had slowly made their way into the classroom and could only smile wryly as I pretended to nap.
Because I had already seen Ms. Mary approaching the classroom door.
----------------------------Where is Rome?----------------------------
After that came Ms. Mary's beloved education, I won't go into specifics as it's not hard to imagine, just think about being at the bottom of the class and you can probably guess your teacher's expression.
And I don't want to pay too much attention to the strategic stuff, because I usually decide on strategies in the moment.
So, let Ms. Mary handle these things.
And she even asked me for an afternoon practical class, saying she wanted them to practice based on theory. I couldn't say anything about it, so I just let her go ahead.
But it's not a big deal, it's just right, the afternoon will give me a chance to relax a bit, although the task of going to Canberra's house has been assigned to me, but I think I'd rather go out and breathe and get some fresh air than watch Ms. Mary discipline the students.
So, I walked towards the noble residential area with Oyado, Ms. Mary is already very aware of Oyado's combat prowess, so she won't care whether Oyado attends class or not.
Soon, we arrived at the noble residential area, which we had passed by before, but these mansions here really made people feel inferior. In the past, I would have definitely mocked their extravagance, but in this world, this is considered normal.
"Hmm?"
Suddenly, I saw something flying overhead, but it was not a bird.
Why was I so sure?
Because ordinary creatures don't have parentheses in their names.
Yes, this was a controlled being, and after looking closely, I noticed a strange tail wing on it.
"The afternoon sure is long, Oyado, let's go~ it seems like there's something interesting waiting for us."
