After the world was destroyed again, I became a drifter

"There are seven cafeterias in the academy, but I personally recommend this one. The underground cafeteria here is better, so you can come here often."

At this time, under the leadership of Julis, they have passed the club building and the committee center, and are currently in the cafeteria in the basement of the high school department, called Beidou Cafeteria.

"Wow, by the way, which cafeteria is the best?" Yu Yiyu nodded after looking at the prices. They were normal school cafeteria prices, and most of the dishes were within 1000 yen.

"The best? Hmm... if I had to say it, it would be the cafeteria at the entrance to the forest. It's called [Lou Morris], but the corresponding price is terrible. It's about three times the price of this cafeteria."

"Three times!? Very good, stay away from that direction next time."

He can't even afford to eat in this cafeteria now, let alone the more expensive one. At least he won't go there until he has a stable income.

"What? Are you short of money?" The two of them left the cafeteria for the time being and walked outside. It was gradually getting dark.

Although Yu Yiyu had asked her if she wanted to eat first and then continue, Julis was a person who would find it difficult to do other things without finishing her current tasks first. This was her insistence, so she decided to eat after touring the school.

"How should I put it... well, generally speaking, there is a shortage of it right now."

"Are there no preferential treatments for special admissions students in this regard?"

"I don't know. Claudia didn't tell me. But the priority to choose pure star-level weapons should be considered a relatively high benefit. As for more, well, the school will not give it to you now unless you show actual results first."

Julis nodded thoughtfully and asked, "So, you are going to participate in the [Phoenix Star Martial Festival], right?"

"Well, I should participate. But according to the rules of the Star Martial Festival, students in the hexagram can only participate in the Star Martial Festival three times, and the age limit is ten years between fourteen and twenty-three years old. At my age, I should only be able to participate once or twice."

Since I am 22 years old now, I only have one year, and two times should be the limit. However, the information seems to say that I am 21 years old, so maybe there is still a chance that I can participate in all three?

He shook his head and didn't think too much about it. He asked Julis, "So, Julis, you are going to participate in the Phoenix Star Martial Festival, right? That seems to require a teammate. Has anyone chosen one?"

“Gu——” Julis was stunned by the question. Not to mention her teammates, Julis was a little lonely in school and had no friends at all.

How can a person who doesn't even have friends have teammates?

"I didn't expect that the legendary Boqizi actually exists..." Yu Yiyu sighed and continued, "No wonder there was only discussion this morning and no one came up to talk to me."

"I, I didn't do this just because I wanted to! Besides, I have my own goals to achieve compared to those things! So I don't have time to make friends!"

"That's what kids who play alone say."

"certainly not!"

"Okay, no—come here!"

"How--!?"

Yu Yiyu suddenly found that the familiar he had set up nearby was triggered, right in the green belt next to him!

He grabbed Julis and pulled her towards him, then raised his right hand and drew a rune.

“Eihwaz (defense).”

Call ~

At the same time, an arrow emitting star power shot towards the place where Julis was originally standing, but the magic released by Yu Yiyu ignited a flame and burned the arrow to ashes.

"Flame? Are you... [Magician (Dante)]?"

"In Jielong's terms, he should be a Taoist priest, or you can call him a sorcerer. Compared to this, we are surrounded."

"Well, it seems so."

Yu Yiyu let go of Yulis's hand and looked towards the green belt, only to see an unclear figure wearing a black cloak equipped with a crossbow, which was the one that shot the arrow just now.

The next moment, a man in black robes holding an axe and a sword jumped out from the green belt, blocking them on the left and right respectively.

Yu Yiyu and Yulis drew out their Huang-style weapons and appeared. Yu Yiyu looked at them and asked, "Is the academy so dangerous? Someone is fighting indiscriminately in the middle of the night."

"No...it's not like this normally. There must be some reason. Anyway, catch them and ask them!"

"Okay, but I can't guarantee that I can catch him." Since it's a battle, it's better to give it your all. Otherwise, if you lose later, you won't have any chance. The same goes for a weak magician like myself.

"Then I'll leave my back to you. I'll find a way to deal with the archer."

"Then I have to find a way to stop these two close combatants, right? This is really giving me a hard time."

call out--!

While they were chatting, three crossbow arrows were shot at them almost at the same time. Yu Yiyu threw down an emerald green gem to form a circular protective shield on Julis to block the arrows.

"Now, do it!"

"Understood! [Sharp Spear White Flame Flower]!"

Julis waved her hand and a clear burst of star power generated flames from her body. Under her control, the flames turned into sharp spears and flew towards the archer.

"I'll use you to try your hand. Connect to the library of Ira and execute the task!"

Om-!

A dark blue magic light lit up under Yu Yiyu's feet, and then his school uniform turned into a black coat, and fingerless gloves appeared on his hands.

Mage mode allows the mage to exert the best form of his power.

"Ritual execution, Primal Rune (Warrior)."

Om-!

The magic circle slid along his body from bottom to top, and then Yu Yiyu felt that his ability to control his body had improved a lot.

Just as the swordsman was about to chase Julis, he was stopped by an exploding gem thrown by him, and he also dodged a heavy blow from the axe by leaning sideways.

I see. He has indeed become a bit like a Warrior. At least his control over his body has improved. He is no longer the small fry he was before.

“Tiwaz (Victory).”

The blue magic power gathered and transformed into a diffuse light wave that swept over the two cloaked men. Their movements suddenly stopped, as if they were stuck.

"Ah, I see." Yu Yiyu closed his eyes and then opened them. A red pentagram pattern appeared in his eyes. In an instant he understood the black-robed man's control mode.

This is a puppet operated remotely by someone, connected by star power. The attack he just made caused disorder in the surrounding star power, which caused this jamming phenomenon.

After learning the information, Yu Yiyu closed his carbon copy eyes and performed a spell to get rid of them.

"Then it is over, Flame!"

boom!

Through the magic book connected to the library, Yu Yiyu directly performed the spell engraved in it. A magic circle appeared under the feet of the two slow-moving puppets, and a flame column rose up, burning the cloaks along with their ability to move.

On the other side, Julis also quickly dealt with the enemy, but the man who was obviously seriously injured by her was still able to move for some reason and disappeared after a few jumps.

"and many more!"

The attackers naturally would not listen to Julis's cries. Yu Yiyu pasted a talisman on the heads of the two burnt puppets, blocking the magical connection between them and their operators. In other words, the remote operation that made the star power work was temporarily invalid, preventing them from escaping.

"Don't chase him. You definitely can't catch up now. And there's no point in catching up even if you do."

Julis, who was originally planning to chase after them, was stopped and gave up the impulse. She turned around and saw two puppets lying on the ground, holding Huang-style weapons in their hands.

"Pseudo-body?"

"It should be a simpler puppet. It seems that the person who attacked it also thought about it."

This incident seemed to have been carried out by some named extra, but I can't quite remember. I'll go back and look through the book to confirm.
