Chapter 10

The School of Balancing is a place that emphasizes efficiency to such an extent that it can select the top 16 from a thousand teams in one day. At the same time, it is also a place that values entertainment, so the remaining nine matches between the top 16 are divided into three days to complete.

On the first day, the quarterfinals are selected with eight matches, on the second day, the semifinals and finals, a total of six matches, and on the last day, the final match.

As for me, I have gained a new understanding of the abilities of my two roommates.

You see, I was basically just a name on the roster, wandering around without really participating, and in the end, I even managed to secure a spot in the top 16 without using it, you could say that I lucked out to the extreme.

What makes me particularly gratified is that, even so, Aiyanna and Wakaka still treat me, the "rule creator," like their dear father.

Aiyanna: "Molly Ann sweetheart, our journey ends here."

Wakaka: "Molly Ann sweetheart, I... really want to accompany you to the end, that desired conclusion."

Aiyanna (glancing at Wakaka): "But..."

Wakaka: "No, there's no need to say anymore, we'll leave the rest to Molly Ann."

Aiyanna: "I believe Molly Ann sweetheart will handle it well."

Wakaka (certainly): "After all, she is the creator!"

Aiyanna (agreeing): "After all, she is the creator!"

As a result, I, as the fortunate creator, was left dizzy with this emotional parting conversation.

"??? What happened to you two???"

Wakaka spreads his hands—

"Burned out."

Aiyanna's body limply leans against Wakaka—

"Wilted."

Aiyanna/Wakaka in unison: "We did our best."

"Exhausting the body to the extreme is very uncomfortable."

"Squeezing out magical power to the limit is very painful."

"So tired."

"Want to sleep."

"Goodbye."

"Goodnight."

"?????"

WTF, I am very aware of my own level, if you two abstained, what can I use to compete? If I use magic, I would be a tragedy being rubbed on the ground. Until now, with only a dozen or so spells, I am nothing more than a burden.

"Wake up, hey!? Our match is doubles, hey!? I'm going all out the entire game, you guys can take turns playing with me, right!? Wake up!!"

Just as this scene was unfolding, Iresena senior sister, who had gone for a walk, came back to the dorm and ran into it head-on.

She had a frown on her face, as if she was annoyed by something, but it seemed that her annoyance was not caused by our commotion in the room.

After surveying the room, Iresena senior sister snapped her fingers and two water balls mixed with ice threads poured down from the heads of Aiyanna and Wakaka, who were pretending to be dead.

Wakaka suddenly sat up like a zombie, his eyes unfocused, and trembled from head to toe, "Wow... It's been a long time since I experienced this bone-chilling malice rising from hell, the last time was in the dead of winter when my mom pulled me out of bed..."

According to what you're saying, it seems that this hellish malice is quite familiar...

As for Aiyanna, she was still lying obediently in bed, curled up, sleeping peacefully.

"Ah, thanks, senior sister."

I forcefully pressed down on Wakaka's head and lowered myself.

"..."

Iresena senior sister still had that annoyed look in her eyes, and glanced at the three of us one by one, "So why are you all so carefree?"

Aiyanna (closed-eyed, turned over in bed, drowsily): "Maybe... we're still young..."

Another ice water ball poured down firmly from Aiyanna's head.

"Hmph," Iresena senior sister returned to her own bed, "Just stay like this for now."

She raised her long legs and closed her eyes to rest.

There are many things I can speculate about: my own beliefs, my own vision, the goals I want to achieve, and the things I have longed for since a long time ago.

Iresena squinted her eyes and looked at the group of carefree and lazy people in the dormitory.

Just like this for now.

Anyway, we will soon find out where the problem lies.
