"The battle is over..."
Although the ice spear chased after Camisia without delay and the members of Cang Yan also took their positions, for Cang Yan and his group who did not know flying magic, the moment Camisia flew into the air, it meant that all offensive opportunities were lost.
"Flying into the air means that Miss Camisia is switching to bow form."
"Um... Camisia doesn't seem to have such plans?"
In Camisia's field of vision, the Sword of Disorder, in the form of a greatsword, rapidly expanded. The bluish-purple electric light wrapped around the jet-black blade emitted a chilling explosion. In a single breath, the greatsword, once as tall as Ella, suddenly stretched across half the length of the arena. Not only did the length change, but the width of the blade also grew. Its sheer size made one think that this sword held within it a terrifying power capable of splitting mountains.
A pale yellow light shield with countless reflective surfaces immediately lit up in the arena. Hundreds of instructors supervising the battle simultaneously injected magic power into the underground magic circle, trapping Camisia, Cang Yan and the others inside like an upside-down translucent bowl.
What made all the students' eyes widen and their hearts tremble with fear was that Camisia did not simply enlarge the weapon, but slowly raised the huge sword, which was nearly a hundred meters long, above her head. Then, as if savoring the despair of Cang Yan and his group, she slowly and mercilessly swung the giant sword down.
“Aaaaaa!”
“Run!!”
No one was willing to believe in the defensive power of the light shield. The students were like people who saw a meteorite about to fall before their eyes. They screamed and jumped up immediately, running desperately towards the exit of the arena, their eyes full of fear of the power.
Only Ella and the other two remained seated. Fukagan and Lotte trusted Camisia wouldn't do anything so outrageous, while Ella, feeling she wouldn't do anything that could harm her, had tentatively told her she'd be cheering her on from the audience.
And the fact was just as the three people thought. When the giant sword was about to touch Cang Yan and his group - it was more like crushing them with its huge size than touching them - it stopped moving, and the entire arena was silent for a moment.
Until Camisia's serious and earnest voice sounded.
"Can we decide the winner now?"
Just as he was about to run away, the referee, with sweat all over his face, nodded quickly like a chick pecking at rice.
"Okay, that's all. The winner... the winner is Camisia Nott Tilum, a member of the Branch of Disaster!"
There was no cheering, as if the hostages were speaking as the robbers demanded. There was only strange and unusual applause in the audience.
Chapter 7 Cang Yan
After the battle, which couldn't even be called a sparring match, the audience left as Camisia and Cang Yan left. Naturally, Ella and the other two followed suit. Perhaps because the previous scene had been too shocking, countless people could be seen leaning against the wall, vomiting, or wiping their sweat.
It is worth mentioning that not everyone was so miserable. Some students even ran out of the arena with joy on their faces.
"One breath~ Those who bet on one breath, please come here to collect your gold coins!"
“Here, here!”
"Here are your ten gold coins. Please keep them."
They were the ones who participated in the bet set by Iris, betting that Camisia would win within a moment.
Looking at the sparse crowd surrounding the gambling game, Ella, who happened to be passing by, stopped and stood on tiptoe to look around.
"Miss Ella, are you looking for Her Highness Elise?"
"Hmm, I thought they'd be nearby, but it turns out they're just hiring staff here so they can do other things themselves. Judging by the current situation, I'm sure this will offend a lot of students."
There were only a few people around the odds, which meant that there were very few students betting on Kamisia to win within a breath. Although the rules had been laid out in advance and participation meant a willingness to take risks, it was inevitable that some people would still be dissatisfied with this.
"If only we remember that it was that woman who set up the gambling game behind the scenes, no one would bother to do anything."
“That’s true…”
Ever since she first entered school, Iris has had a considerable number of admirers. Although this was partly due to the "Eye of Freya", it was undeniable that she herself was quite charming. Coupled with her incalculable wealth, probably no one dared to cause trouble to Iris.
"Your Majesty the Princess."
"Ah, Camisia."
After finishing the battle, Camisia slowly walked to Ella's side. In just a few seconds, there were fewer people around Ella. However, Camisia kept her head down as she walked in front of Ella, as if waiting for what Ella would say.
Ella hesitated for a moment. Usually at this time, Camisia would report the battle situation to her, but today she just stood there motionless in front of her - no, although it was invisible to the naked eye, she always felt that there was a very strange atmosphere around Camisia, like a child expecting praise from his parents after getting full marks on the test.
[As a boss, you should definitely give praise, but is it okay to just give verbal praise?]
If the target is Camisia, you will naturally feel confused when choosing a gift. Camisia has neither a shortage of gold coins nor strength. If the gift is not good enough, it is better not to give it.
Ella could only nod, looking very satisfied.
"Well, well done. This is the first time I've seen an attack like that."
"Is that so? It's a rare opportunity, so I made it a little more conspicuous... I'm glad you're satisfied."
She seemed to hear someone mutter something like, "I should have used more intimidating magic to drive away those blind people." However, Ella thought it must be her own illusion and didn't pay much attention to it, quickly putting it out of her mind.
"But if that happens, the people of Cang Yan will probably be dissatisfied. Teacher Camisia's strength far exceeds ours. Cang Yan will only recognize Teacher Camisia instead of the Branch of Disaster. Haha, if it was the senior who took the stage, there wouldn't be such a problem."
"I'm a healer, so at least let Angeline play?"
"How can a healer hit monsters with a staff? At least he acted weaker. It's fine that he blocked Jörmungandr's charge with his shield on Dragon Island, but he even knocked Valar unconscious in the Kingdom of Barris. What kind of healer is that? Even a proper warrior couldn't do that."
"Yes, I will reflect on it."
Bowing her head deeply, Ella apologized sincerely. Thinking back to what Shen Gan had just said, she really didn't look like a healer at all. It was a miracle that she had not been expelled from the priesthood of the temple so far.
"It's still early. Miss Ella, are you going back to the mansion or to the inner circle?"
"It's a rare sunny day, so let's go to the inner circle and buy some clothes. Tomorrow is the Solar Festival, so we need to prepare our clothes in advance."
The first day of each year marks the beginning of the Solar Festival. During the three days following the Solar Festival, people flock to natural hot springs near their homes to bathe in order to wash away bad luck and disasters. This festival is said to have originated from the elves and has not yet become popular.
"By the way, the yukata Ms. Ella mentioned last time is almost ready. Do you want to try it on?"
"Eh? Can you even reproduce something as vague as that?"
"There might be some discrepancies, but we can adjust them gradually. The Solar Festival lasts for three days, which should be enough time."
"I think it would be better for Lotte to just focus on enjoying the Solar Festival."
Ella couldn't help but lower her voice a little. She had forgotten that Kro could give her a complete yukata pattern. In the original world, Kro often wore kimonos as casual clothes. However, Lotte had put so much effort into it, so of course she couldn't just go to Kro directly.
[But I still have to go to the dream world tonight and make yukata that suits other people.]
I told Ruthie that the styles were commonly used by men, and for women, they should use feminine styles that can better highlight the charm of girls.
Just as everyone was about to move forward, a panting male voice suddenly came from behind them.
"Please wait!"
"Um?"
Ella subconsciously turned her head and saw Cang Yan's leader Berg appearing in her sight. His unkempt dark blue short hair was messed up by the wind, but combined with his angular and resolute face, he had a strange beauty. He was the type of male model who could become a magazine cover if he dressed up well. Of course, the prerequisite was to show off his solid abdominal muscles.
Ella first glanced at Camisia, then took a step forward with the intention of beating her up if she caused trouble.
"Excuse me, Captain Berg, what can I do for you?"
"Hoo-hoo--I want to thank everyone at the Branch of Disaster."
"thank?"
A question mark appeared above Ella's head.
Berg, who was gasping for breath, first swallowed, then took a deep breath, adjusted the armor he had not yet taken off, and bowed deeply to Ella and Camisia.
"Thank you all for giving us the opportunity to challenge you. It has allowed us to witness a higher realm. Honestly, our companions have become complacent due to their recent winning streak. If we had entered the Elven Territory with such an attitude, we would have been defeated by the Seal of Desire without even having time to react. Today's battle with Lady Camisia has made us realize the gap between ourselves and the pinnacle of the world. Thank you very much."
"Ah... I understand what you mean, but—"
Is being defeated something worth being happy about?
Although she wanted to say it, it was too rude to openly announce that the other party had been defeated, so Ella only said half of the words.
As if he understood what Ella meant, Berg exaggeratedly punched his chest twice with his right fist.
"If we don't fight those of a higher level, we will always be immersed in our own world. For those of us who aim for the Mark of Original Sin, we must continue to grow stronger. Being able to witness the attack methods of those who surpass the realm of heroes is a blessing to us."
"I see."
[Is he the type who advocates the use of force?]
Ella nodded inwardly.
Berg raised his eyebrows in surprise when he found that Ella did not show any dissatisfaction, but soon changed his expression to one of slight hesitation.
"I heard that everyone from the Branch of Disaster is planning to go to the Elf Territory next. Is this true?"
"We do have such plans. Remember, Captain Berg is also on the orders of the academy principal to go to the elves to monitor the Seal of Desire?"
"Yes, this is a test given to us by the academy principal, and it is also an opportunity for us to get closer to the Mark of Original Sin."
Seeing the hope flickering in Berg's eyes, Ella couldn't help but feel that the other party might make a troublesome request, such as inviting her to join them, or to have another competition with them.
Ella tried hard to put on a pure smile and made an awkward excuse to leave.
"I hope Captain Berg can complete his mission successfully. My companions and I have things to do, so I'll be leaving now."
What I like is a leisurely trip. If I have to set out with people who are on a mission, the trip will lose its meaning because of the rush.
Ella's words made Berg pause, and a hint of regret appeared in his black eyes.
"I apologize for disturbing you all. I'll go reunite with my friends."
"Well, bye."
After politely waving to Berg, Ella turned and left with her companions. After walking a distance, Ella frowned and muttered.
"What a strange person."
"That guy was thinking something bad just now."
"Can Fukagan tell?"
"Your expression is strange, but the bad news is just a nuisance at best, not an attempt at poisoning or assassination."
"Is that so... But it's better to stay away from them."
After finding the light spot representing Berg and marking it with a red skull, Ella nodded.
Chapter 8: Xiaomitis, Big Adventure!
* December 31, 6187, 5:28 PM, Holy Academy Inner Circle
The heavy snow that had lasted for several days finally stopped yesterday. The Holy Academy was covered in a scene of white snow. The dazzling silver-white color covered the entire land. At first glance, it was difficult to even tell the direction.
Mitis was walking on the icy street.
Because it was close to the Solar Festival, the streets were full of couples walking together. Mitis gritted her teeth as she struggled with the slippery ground.
"Damn it, why are you forcing some gift on me? By now, Ella and I must have finished shopping for clothes and are waiting for dinner by the fireplace."
Since he had accepted gifts from the girls, he naturally couldn't accept the gifts and not write back. Although he initially planned to apologize to the girls directly and return the gifts, he thought about it in his mind and felt that he couldn't open his mouth. So he finally decided to pretend to be a man to deceive the girls. Since they had been together for a short time, the girls should not find out. As for the secret that there were actually no men in the Branch of Disaster, he used other excuses to fool them.
But every time she passed by the glass window and saw the couples inside being affectionate with each other, she couldn't help but curse in her heart that these couples would break up as soon as possible.
"It's not that I'm jealous, because I am jealous."
While muttering to herself, Mitis stretched out her hand to block the cold wind blowing in her face. To be honest, she felt very cold. Vampires felt no different from humans in terms of body temperature. Yesterday, she was wearing a thick woolen coat and a furry shawl, huddled by the fireplace and dozing off. Today, she only had a thin men's singlet to keep out the cold. Not only that, she had to pretend to be very relaxed so as not to let the girls find out that she was cold. It was said that this was because it made her look more manly, but Mitis completely couldn't understand the necessity of so-called masculinity.
Shouldn't you wear more clothes when it's cold? Although Lotte used the analogy of girls wearing short skirts even in winter to make themselves more attractive, Mitis still found it difficult to understand.
"I know I'm being uncool, but there's no need to dwell on such details. Wouldn't it be even more embarrassing to be sick?"
Cursing this atmosphere to herself, Mitis suddenly found an alley not far away. Just like a traveler in the desert seeing a source of water, hope ignited in Mitis's purple eyes. She shook her head left and right, and after confirming that no one was paying attention to her nearby, she immediately hid in the alley. There was only one thing she had to do.
——That is to quickly move the body to make it warmer. Although the body will become colder due to sweating after going out, there is no time to care about so much now. Mitis even feels that if she continues to walk against the cold wind, her limbs will be frozen and numb. It would be too embarrassing if she can't even turn the door handle because of the freezing body.
Hiding in an alley, she first cupped her hands together and breathed on them, then she hugged her slightly warm hands to her chest and rubbed their arms together.
"Huh, I'm alive. Luckily, there's only one family left. Otherwise, I'd definitely be a frozen bat today. But is this disguise really okay? I feel like those girls will see through me."
The voice was changed into a male voice by props, and the long pink hair was tied in a single ponytail behind her, with men's singlet and tie. This is Mitis's current attire. Of course, with the help of Lotte, her well-developed breasts became so that people would not be able to tell that she is a woman.
Before this, Mitis had spent a day with nearly ten girls, which mostly consisted of shopping and lunch. However, due to the tight schedule, she hardly had a good rest and had three lunches alone, so her abdomen still felt bloated. Thinking about having dinner with the last girl, Mitis couldn't help but feel nauseous.
"It would be great if I could use space magic to transfer the contents of my stomach out."
Mitis reached out and cupped her cheeks, the warm feeling making her unable to help but let out a long sigh of relief.
"I have to take a nice bath when I get home, and then I'll spend the whole day in Ella's bed!"
Of course, the second half of the sentence was a dream. Ever since Ella found out that she would sneak into her room to suck blood and use the blood to fall asleep, Ella began to give her a drop of blood every day. She also lost the reason to sneak into Ella's room. Although she knew that Ella was thinking about her, Mitis still felt that it was better to keep it the same as before.
"Come to think of it, it would be nice if I were a man, but it would take at least three years to reshape my body. The waiting time is too long."
