Chapter 17
Finally, we have reached this point.
Facing us, the Pink Dumpling Royal Guards who were constantly surrounded by chaotic black flames, was the White Lotus Squad.
They only had one person.
And that person is the mysterious girl that I met on the first day of entering this school, Eileen Isabelle, the daughter of the Marquis Isabelle, the winner of the previous magic competition, a genius inventor who created inexplicable things, and a strange individual who claimed to only want her creations to be of use to the Emile Faction.
She is my roommate, who has repeated a year in the academy for three years, and has an inexplicable interest and hostility towards me...
No, it's not inexplicable. I can somewhat sense that this matter has a strong connection with Emile.
"This is an unfair battle from the beginning."
Senior Eileen looked at me, but it seemed like she wasn't looking at me, but rather a presence behind me.
"Of course it is. Who told you to refuse to join our team and insist on forming your own team? Look, we've come this far after struggling all the way to the top four!"
Wakaka said, with a self-satisfied smile and hands on her waist.
"Three against one, oh, it's three against one. If you want to surrender, you better do it soon."
Aiyia, changing her usual pink aura, joined in with Wakaka. Or rather, it's more accurate to say that they have always been like this.
Wait, why is your behavior now so different from what it was just now in the resting room? Weren't you so nervous that your mental state was abnormal?
Wakaka: "No, no, no. That was just a feint."
Aiyia: "Now there is only one person on the other side, it's just Senior Eileen alone?"
Only I noticed their behavior just now. Was their feint aimed at me?
"Neh-hehe, since there's only one opponent, we don't need the mother of ping-pong, Molly Ann sweetheart, to make an appearance. Let's go, Aiyia, together we will offer a victory within Molly Ann sweetheart's reach!"
"Alright! Don't worry, Molly Ann sweetheart. We'll move our dormitory to the principal's office when we come back!"
............
How dangerous were the flags you set? Is your wish to move the dormitory to the principal's office something you really made to the great Astrologer of Stars, Headmaster Damia?
Both of them gave me a gentle smile and gave me a thumbs up.
"We're going."
——————————————————————
As everyone knows, in almost all war movies, as long as a character says something like "Wait for me to come back and we'll get married," there is a 90% chance he won't return.
And another 8% chance is that the person he wants to marry won't return.
The remaining 2% is that neither of them will return together.
But our Aiyia and Wakaka are different. They are not part of that 90%, 8%, or even the 2%.
They are not even that 0.01% of people who have a happily ever after ending.
They...
"Sorry, Molly Ann sweetheart, we have a feeling that if we don't retreat soon, we'll be taken out for lunch."
"Sorry, Molly Ann sweetheart, my hair was completely useless today as it stayed curled up while sleeping. I've already been defeated by this humid weather. It seems like we can only go this far."
"......???"
"Molly Ann sweetheart, I just saw through the chaotic black flames of the Pink Dumpling Royal Guards that our destinies are intertwined with yours. You are about to shoulder the responsibility of winning the final victory."
"Unfortunately, we won't be able to witness that moment with our own eyes."
"We have to take a step ahead."
"Goodbye, goodbye."
"It's still better to go back to our original dorm. Hahaha."
After firing off their words at me like a Gatling gun, they quickly ran off.That is to say, they stood on the pool table and confronted Eileen senior sister for a while, and then they ran away.
No, it can't be called a confrontation. They just walked up to the stage and approached the table a little. I sat in the front row and watched these two idiots, who kept saying with full confidence, "We will dedicate a victory within reach to Molly Ann sweetheart," turn around and leave the stage without even hitting a single ball, patting my shoulder and saying, "Sorry, we'll take a step ahead." Then they ran back to the dormitory without looking back.
If you don't know the situation, you would think these two came up just to go through the motions and suddenly became desperate to use the toilet and rushed to the bathroom at 800 miles per hour.
No, what about our agreement? We agreed that I would just watch from the sidelines, right? What's the sudden change of plans?
The host, Larba, was also puzzled, so he gestured to me to go on stage quickly.
I understood his silent message and walked to the pool table.
——————————————————————
Recalling the scene where Aiyia and Wakaka escaped before the battle, they confidently walked away with light footsteps. In their minds, there were probably thoughts like "There's only one person on the other side, we can overwhelm them with numbers."
Then... the audience who were further away probably didn't notice, but as a substitute sitting in the front row, I vaguely sensed something—
They were glared at by Senior Sister Eileen.
No, it's not accurate to say she glared at them. It's more like an aura.
It's hard to describe the feeling. I was not very close, but I could see that Aiyia, Wakaka, and even the host, Mr. Alaba, who was very close to them, all involuntarily took a step back.
I think I have seen a similar scene recently.
It was when Emile and I were still at Elysis. Zion Obek, a mage from the Sicilia side, used a low rank magic precise piercing against Nordan, the steward of the city lord on the other side, forcing Nordan to surrender.
So the answer is clear.
Senior Sister Eileen has a superior suppression over Aiyia and Wakaka.
And it's not just an ordinary superior suppression.
As I approached Senior Sister Eileen, I had this thought in my mind.
She exuded an aura that seemed to say, "I want to fight Molly Ann, and only Molly Ann."
"This is an unfair battle from the beginning."
Senior Sister Eileen looked at me.
"Well... even though this is the second time you're saying this, I guess it's finally a one-on-one match now, so it's a bit fairer than before..."
If we consider my true strength, it's probably between low rank level one and level two. For Senior Sister Eileen to have a superior suppression over Aiyia and Wakaka, who are genuine intermediate mages, she must be hiding a strength that I don't know how thick it is. Isn't that unfair to me?
Okay, okay, I got it. It's my own problem that I'm weak. Why should I go looking for Senior Sister Eileen?
I apologize for trying to shift the blame!
Senior Sister Eileen shook her head at me and lowered her head, playing with her right wrist.
It seemed to be a petal-shaped ornament.
——————————————————————————
Meanwhile, in a nameless and silent forest hundreds of miles away.
A certain silver-haired girl was embracing the neck of a griffon and persuading it with skill—
"You see, you can't beat me. If we fight, you won't even have a breath left, and what about your child? I just accidentally blew up your home. If you die, not only your pitiful mountain but your whole family will be finished. Please cherish your life. Look at me and Molly Ann sweetheart, from the beginning..."
After being tossed around by this seemingly powerless human girl with a standard mage appearance using pure physical strength, Miss Griffon finally realized her terror. She obediently lay on the ground, like a domestic cat, praying for this girl, who suddenly became interested and wanted to reason with her, to end her soul-stirring lecture as soon as possible.I really don't understand what you're saying at all! Are you threatening me?! Clearly, it was you who ran into me and ended up smashing my nest!
Miss Gryphon silently vowed in her heart that if she survived this time, she would run away whenever she encountered humans in the future.
