I was accidentally injured by God and I just want to be an ordinary person

After a few minutes of noisy atmosphere, the crowd suddenly began to quiet down from the outside in, and then dispersed as if they had seen something ominous. Ella immediately took the opportunity to escape from the crowd.

Then they ran into something ominous—a group of people with cold expressions who looked quite difficult to deal with. Judging from the formal attire they were wearing, they must be nobles from less well-off families.

Startled by the other party's distant aura, Ella immediately apologized to the man who looked like the leader.

"Oh, sorry."

"Be careful next time."

She thought the other party would reprimand her harshly, but it seemed that he was not as difficult to deal with as she had imagined. After nodding to the young man, Ella quickly left this team that exuded an unfriendly atmosphere. Guided by the terrain search, she ran to the small corner where her companions were. Although there was a sofa near the wall, only Shen Gan and Mitis were sitting on it. Luty and Camisia were talking to the visiting academy chief Chaos and others, while Iris was sharing the dishes they had found with Angelini.

"Little Ella is here."

"How's it going? Your lovely Demon King, doesn't it feel good to be so popular?"

Iris put the plate aside and gave Ella a malicious smile.

"How is that possible? You took Angelini away, why did you leave me alone?"

"Are you lonely?"

"Is that even possible?"

"I thought that spending more time with Ella-chan would make us closer, but it turns out that you're still the same."

Maybe it's not the same as before, Ella thought to herself, but if she had to say what was different, she had a very vague feeling.

Not intending to continue dwelling on this issue, Ella decided to change the subject. She picked up the cutlery from the dining cart and began to choose the dishes placed next to her. Although she initially intended to vent her anger by snatching the food from Iris's plate, all the dishes Iris picked were bitter and most people could not eat them. In the end, she could only give up and asked Angelica next to her to help her choose the food.

"So, after we left this morning, what did Iris say to the dean?"

"It's just a simple negotiation. There's also the matter of the Water Spirit's desire."

"negotiation?"

"Using my agreement to compete as leverage, I'm demanding some permanent privileges."

Elise shrugged.

"As for the Holy Spirit of Water, it seems that the Seal of Desire appeared on the continent in human form and has received the protection of the Elf Queen."

"In human form, you mean Mitis?"

"What? What does Ella want me to do?"

Mitis, who was originally sitting on the sofa and was very bored, suddenly jumped up and ran to Ella happily. Ella first sighed helplessly, and then began to explain to Mitis.

"It's the Seal of Desire. It seems to have taken on the form of a human."

"Even desire has taken human form? That guy and I used to be good friends, so what are you going to do about it?"

"So... that's a former friend of Mitis's. Is that an okay description?"

In response to Ella's question, Mitis just waved her hand indifferently.

"Rather than being 'my' friend, you're more of a 'jealous' friend. It has nothing to do with my current will. Let's talk about a solution quickly."

"The academy plans to send a team of students to monitor the area. If it's harmless, they'll leave it alone. If it's deemed harmful, they'll eliminate it immediately."

"So they sent us to supervise?"

It was Angelini who explained.

"No, Iris-senpai said they sent another group of students. They want to become heroes, so the principal gave them this boring task."

"Is it okay to just hand over such an important task to someone else?"

At some point, Shen Gan also walked up to the three of them. Iris smiled and waved slightly to Shen Gan, which caused Shen Gan to frown for a while before he gave a very satisfied answer.

"It should be fine. Don't be fooled by the Dean's careless appearance. In fact, he puts a lot of thought into every step. Otherwise, he wouldn't be a former hero, bearing the title of Arbiter of Flame and Light. I think he must have judged the Seal of Desire to be harmless through certain intelligence, or perhaps he believes in the team's ability. Although the Dean only said the team's name is 'Blue Flame', I have learned the details of the members through other means. All five members come from families harmed by the Seal of Gluttony. The captain is a 24-year-old warrior with a strength of 29th level. The team is known for being difficult to approach and for having walked the brink of death many times."

"It's not easy to get close to..."

For some reason, I thought of the team just now.

At this moment, Camisia's serious warning came into my ears.

"The area ahead is where His Majesty rests. No one is allowed to enter."

"I am the leader of the 'Blue Flame', and I request to fight the 'Branch of Disaster'!"

Chapter 6: The Future of Artificial Puppets and Their Absolute Strength

*创世纪6187年12月31日 上午8:42分 至圣学院

Countless boisterous students gathered in the open-air amphitheater. Today was the day Cang Yan would challenge the Executioner, Camisia. Everyone already knew the outcome, and most of the students sitting in the stands were there simply to catch a glimpse of Camisia, the pinnacle of warriors.

Ella, Luty, and Shen Gan were also among them. Angeline went to the inner circle Adventurer's Guild to visit an old friend, while Iris had some long-standing personal matters to deal with. As for Mitis, because she had accepted the gifts from the girls without permission, she was rushing to return the gifts to those girls before the Sun Festival. During the Sun Festival at the beginning of each year, the girls would go to the outer circle's hot spring pool to bathe, and it would be difficult to see them in the few days after that.

Since everyone who participated in the dance yesterday sat in the front row, in order to avoid causing a commotion, Ella and the other two did not sit in the VIP seats in the front, but sat in the open-air seats like ordinary students. As of now, no one recognized Ella and Shen Gan.

"The stands are full of people."

"Yeah, it's lively."

"I wonder how Miss Camisia will end this battle..."

According to Cang Yan's leader, Berg, the reason they challenged the Branch of Disaster to a fight wasn't to suppress its momentum, but rather to simply understand the gap between them and the Branch, hoping to identify their own shortcomings. Of course, from what Ella saw, they didn't seem to believe they were doomed to lose this battle, and were quite confident in their own abilities. In fact, with all five members of the team above level 20, considering their relatively young age, they should have had this confidence.

However, as everyone listened to the other party's intentions and awaited Ella's response, Camisia proposed that she alone fight on behalf of the entire Branch of Disaster team. Her original words were, "Since you want to find the gap between your own shortcomings and the stronger ones, then it doesn't matter who the other party is, right? After all, I'm also a member of the Branch of Disaster." Although it was a very arrogant statement, once Camisia demonstrated her strength, the contempt on everyone's faces was suppressed, and the current situation evolved.

As if thinking of Cang Yan's expression when he agreed, Shen Gan first rolled his eyes, then sighed.

"Those guys really had the nerve to agree to this. I don't know whether to call them reckless or just stupid."

"Isn't this the same thing?"

"Senior, are you trying to say they are brave?"

"It's more reckless than brave."

If I were faced with Camisia's request to fight, I would definitely choose to avoid it rationally. Although it would be a bit embarrassing, knowing Camisia's strength, no one would dare to point fingers at me for avoiding it. It would be the same for anyone. Instead of being beaten to death in the arena under the watchful eyes of everyone, it is better to be a decent coward.

"Her Highness Elise has opened a betting site outside the arena. Miss Ella and Miss Fukagan, would you like to check it out?"

"No need for that. If Teacher Kamisia knew that you were involved in the handicap, she would definitely do everything in her power to win. This is already the level of malicious manipulation of the game."

"Even if I don't go, Camisia will definitely win. Anyway, how did this kind of odds even start?"

Even without thinking, one can know the result. Camisia will definitely win. Without someone to suppress Cang Yan, the gambling game cannot be started at all.

Putting her index finger on her chin, Lotte pretended to recall the past.

"The bet isn't about who will win, you know? It's about how long it will take Miss Kamisia to win. Before I came here, Her Highness Iris asked me to ask Miss Ella if she wanted to cooperate."

"That's exactly what that woman would do."

"...I'd rather not participate."

While smiling bitterly, Ella opened the terrain search, trying to find the whereabouts of Cang Yan and others, but the terrain search showed that Cang Yan and his party had not arrived.

"I wonder if Miss Camisia will make a quick decision or patiently teach those people."

"I think they should be able to save some face, right? After all, their goal is to find my shortcomings."

"Only a senior would say something so optimistic."

Shen Gan sighed helplessly.

After waiting in silence for a moment, perhaps remembering something, Lotte's orange-red eyes suddenly lit up, and she clapped her hands with a "snap", causing the surrounding students to turn their heads.

"Oh, by the way, has Miss Ella completed the 'registration process' for the artificial puppet?"

Since the words "login program" are not commonly used in the mainland, Luti felt a bit awkward when she spoke about it.

Ella first gave an embarrassed smile to the students around her, and then answered the somewhat nervous Lotte. Lotte was nervous because Camisia had given Lotte the space crystal containing the artificial puppet and asked her to pass it on to Ella. So if Ella didn't register, Lotte would naturally feel guilty for not repaying Camisia's trust.

"Hmm, I managed to log in properly, but..."

"but?"

"No, nothing."

Ella waved her hands quickly, pretending nothing had happened.

In fact, what he wanted to say was why the artificial puppet became completely different from what he had imagined, and why Camisia and Dean gave the artificial puppet to him. If it was just for construction purposes, there would be no need to go through so much trouble.

"Because this is your first artificial puppet, are you giving it to me as a souvenir? It's a nice gesture, but isn't it a bit of a waste?"

A magic core at the hero realm level is enough to serve as the core of the artificial puppet, but Dean used the magic core he gave, which is equivalent to a level 100 monster. Although he simply registered it and put the artificial puppet into storage, even a cursory glance can show that the shell is made of an alloy of mithril and scarlet gold, plus the seamless connection between metal and metal. It is no exaggeration to say that it is a work of art.

"And they've installed countless magical cannons. Is that to defend against monsters that might invade the town? But with that number, they're more for defense than defense. Even dragons might retreat. Mass-producing artificial puppets of this level would be a heavy burden on the country, completely defeating the purpose of building a territory."

Ella couldn't help but feel that she had done something wrong, and she had to discuss it with Camisia when she got back.

However, there is more to complain about than just these. Not only the luxurious configuration of the artificial puppet, I also want to talk about its appearance.

Although it's roughly the same size as in "F.Wing," it would actually be perfectly adequate if it were only one-fifth the size. I should have given Dean a smaller blueprint earlier. Humanoid puppets are indeed cuter.

No, can a large artificial puppet be called cute?

This question suddenly arose in Ella's mind.

[The NPC puppets in "F.Wing" are all small and cute. ]

In the game, there is no difference between puppets and ordinary human NPCs. The only differences between NPC puppets and humans are that they have a power core, no physiological needs, and a detachable body. For players in the game, physiological needs are something that is simply impossible to achieve, and the detachable body is almost not reflected in the game, so the puppet NPCs are no different from ordinary NPCs.

If Ella were to use an analogy, it would be like drawing a female character, pointing at it, and saying, "This is a man." If the player doesn't check the NPC's information, they won't know it's a puppet.

"Come to think of it, the puppets in most works are girls..."

"What did Miss Ella say?"

"Ah, I mean, Camisia and Cang Yan's people have appeared."

Ella quickly pointed at Camisia and Cang Yan's group in the arena. While she was thinking, both parties had already arrived at the center of the arena.

Cang Yan's team consists of five members: a shield class to attract aggro, a melee warrior to maintain the front line, an archer and magic caster to defend the rear, and finally a healer. It's a relatively small vanguard. According to Iris, Cang Yan's team originally had seven members, but after enduring the test of battle, two others were injured and could no longer fight, leaving only the current five. So far, there's been no news of Cang Yan expanding his team.

"They're all equipped with orichalcum-grade weapons and mithril gear? They're truly a first-rate adventurer group."

If a team runs out of gold and reaches a desperate situation, even a team composed of top students from the Supreme Academy will still lower themselves to become adventurers to make money. This is no secret in the Supreme Academy.

Lotte explained while looking at all the members of Cang Yan.

"Everyone is above level 20, and the captain is a level 29 warrior. Having been harmed by the Seal of Sin, he entered the Sacred Academy with the ideal of destroying it. In order to obtain more resources without wasting time, the captain, a civilian, had to take shortcuts in the hope of inheriting the name of a hero. He wants to become stronger with the goal of revenge."

"Unfortunately, my natural talent is insufficient. No matter how hard I try, it will be difficult for me to inherit the position of the hero."

Shen Gan shook her asymmetrical brown twin ponytails and cast a pitying look at Cang Yan's captain.

In order to improve their strength faster, Cang Yan and his group did not choose to challenge monsters, but became war mercenaries. "In order to seal the Seal of Original Sin in times of crisis, the sacrifice of a few people is nothing." It was this idea that made Cang Yan and his group the hated culprits.

"Then let the game begin!"

Under the host's speech, the atmosphere in the arena was pushed to a climax, and both male and female students were shouting Camisia's name.

"Come on, Miss Camisia~"

"Even Lotte..."

Ella couldn't help but wonder at how Lotte was waving and cheering for Camisia.

In response, Lotte just blinked in surprise.

"Is it weird?"

"No, I just think it's rare."

I arbitrarily gave Lotte a mature personality. According to her age, 15-year-old Lotte is only a junior high school student. It is normal for her to be energetic.

Ella subconsciously looked at Shen Gan who was sitting quietly. In terms of maturity, Shen Gan, who was only 13 years old, looked much more mature than 16-year-old Angelica.

"Blue Flame's guards have begun chanting magic."

Without any chanting process at all, the moment the magic caster raised his staff, a total of seven one-meter-long "ice spears" appeared on the field.

"This light... is it the third-tier magic 'Ice Spear Formation'? But isn't their magic caster only level 24? It's impossible to cast a third-tier spell instantly. Could it be a magic scroll?"

Lotte frowned slightly, and her dangling lavender twintails dropped down. Although the rule was that as long as no permanent injuries were caused to the opponent, using a magic scroll was really too despicable.

"You think Teacher Camisia won't rely on her status to use the scroll, so you dare to do this. But if you can't produce a seventh-level magic scroll, whether it's third-level magic or fourth-level magic, it won't make any difference to Teacher Camisia."

"Camisia used 'Fly'."
