Chapter 40 Brady walks into a trap (4)

(Uwaa ...

Seeing Brady's exaggerated nosebleed, Alfred felt a little pain for him.

This scene made Morgan realize that he had forgotten to remove the barrier and was frantically operating the magic device on the referee's stand.

After the barrier was lifted, Brady, who was originally floating in the air, fell directly to the ground.

A very tragic secondary injury.

Because Morgan noticed Brady and called students who were good at healing magic, Alfred decided to leave Brady alone.

The barrier was lifted, and a large group of people rushed in from the entrance.

"Al you idiot!"

As soon as Rose came up, she stood on tiptoe and gave Alfred a knife attack.

The knife wound didn't hurt much, but she looked very cute with her cheeks puffed out and standing on tiptoe.

"Ahahaha sorry, Sister Rose, I'm fine."

Alfred, who was distracted by Rose's cute appearance, replied apologetically.

"Stop playing dumb...ah, your school uniform is burnt, but there's no burn marks anywhere, right?!"

Rose noticed that the collar and cuffs of Alfred's school uniform were burnt, and immediately grabbed his collar and checked it in panic.

"U-Um, Sister Rose, please don't touch me like that. It's a bit itchy!"

"Al, please be quiet for a while! Your neck and body are not injured. How's your wrist?"

Rose ignored Alfred and focused on herself.

Noticing the complicated looks from Cecilia and the others, Alfred began to feel embarrassed.

Liliana, who was standing at the back of the crowd, stared at Alfred with resentful eyes.

(Ah, alas, now it feels like things are going to be very troublesome.)

"Phew, I'm not hurt indeed. Al, you idiot, you really scared me to death."

After confirming that Alfred had no injuries on his body, Rose breathed a sigh of relief.

"I'm so sorry, Sister Rose, I made you worry this time too."

"That is to say, don't do such dangerous things next time. Although I know you are very powerful, Al, we who are watching the duel from the sidelines are always worried about you!"

Rose pointed her right index finger at Alfred and puffed up her cheeks angrily again to emphasize.

"Ahahaha, I think I've caused trouble for everyone, I'm sorry..."

Alfred looked at the others and apologized.

"I'm glad you're safe, Electra-san. But even if I followed Rose-senpai here, it seems like there's nothing I can do."

Rosalie said with a troubled smile.

"that……"

Alfred looked at Brady who was receiving treatment.

"There are more outstanding seniors over there. I don't think I need to help."

Rosalie smiled gently, politely declining the offer.

Alfred originally thought that since she was called a saint before she entered Illya Arya, she would be a more kind and saintly girl.

Surprisingly, Rosalie seems to be a girl with a strong personality in some aspects.

"That's true. But what's going on with that Ulysses-san? Why does he seem hostile to me? This is the first time I've spoken to him."

Alfred asked, changing the subject.

"Oh, by the way..."

Leonard, who was standing aside, suddenly seemed to have thought of something.

"Reynard, do you know what's going on?"

"Well... today some third and fourth grade students are betting on the duel between you and Senior Holwar. I heard that some stupid first-year students borrowed a lot of credits from the school to place the bet."

Leonard speculated with a very dumbfounded expression.

"I think that Ulysses might be one of them. Because a lot of the credits he borrowed were wasted, he is very resentful of you, Alfred, who won the duel. I think it should be..."

Cecilia listened halfway and then stared at Leonard with a serious expression.

This gave Leonard a big shock.

"Hey! Senior Luo, Senior Roscoe, what can I do for you?"

"Brother Rockefeller, I hope to know the details."

"Oh, okay, okay."

Because Cecilia's aura was too strong, Leonard was so scared that his body was shaking.

"By the way, before I ask you about this matter in detail, I have one more thing to ask you. Junior Rockefeller, you should not have participated in gambling, right?"

Cecilia cast a cold gaze at Leonard and questioned him.

"U-Um, no, I, I didn't participate at all..."

Leonard avoided Cecilia and everyone else's gaze and answered hesitantly.

The lie was so obvious that everyone around could see it at a glance.

(Well, let's teach this guy a lesson this time.)

Alfred hesitated and decided not to plead with Cecilia on behalf of Leonard.

After all, helping lost lambs get back on track is also an important responsibility as a friend.

?◇?◇?◇?◇?

In the evening, Alfred used the credits he earned to generously treat everyone and rented a private room on the third floor of the student cafeteria to hold a small celebration party.

Although she didn't help in any way before the duel, Liliana was still invited.

"Since that annoying guy has invited me, it's not impossible for me to join him."

With this mentality, Liliana decided to attend the celebration party.

However, she was not happy at all at the celebration party.

Because of participating in gambling that violated school rules, Leonard was thrown into the student union's detention room by Cecilia.

If he doesn't want to be severely punished, he must write down all the information he knows about the students organizing an underground casino tonight.

So he did not attend the celebration party.

Liliana had to watch the terrible scene of Alfred attending the celebration party filled with girls alone and being surrounded by them.

She didn't even get to speak a few words to Alfred, and neither did Rose.

During the entire celebration banquet, Liliana, along with Elaje and Adelaide, who also served as background members, just listened to other people's conversations and ate their food in silence.

Only Rosalie was able to blend into the warm atmosphere and was very active in talking to Rose.

What made Liliana even more angry was that even though Rose was already there, Alfred was still happily chatting with two senior sisters from the Student Union.

And Elaje, who is also playing a background role like herself, must be interested in Alfred.

Because during the entire celebration party, she shyly glanced at Alfred, and Liliana saw it clearly.
