Chapter 118 Puppet Showdown in Practical Class (2)
"Okay~Okay~"
Brady responded with an impatient tone, pulling away the girl in front of him to get the ball marked with the number.
Because he was not assigned to the first group, he smacked his lips in displeasure.
Brady left the team and ran to sit on a bench at the side.
The other students ignored him and got their own number balls one by one.
"Then, students who have received numbers 1 to 6, enter the field that has been drawn here. If you go out of bounds in this mock battle, you will not be judged as a loser, but it will be a serious penalty, so please be careful."
Webster reminded, and then announced the start of the competition for the first three groups.
?◇?◇?◇?◇?
Alfred got a later number, so he just watched the game at the beginning.
Liliana's opponent is a boy from Helaban.
She mercilessly used her overwhelming advantage to beat her opponent to a pulp and ended the fight.
Leonard faced off against a girl from Brunhilde's class. The two were evenly matched and the match ended in a draw when the competition time was up.
Should we say it is lucky or unlucky that Rosalie and Adelaide, who are both in the Noren class, were drawn into the same group.
On the surface, the two seemed to be of similar strength, but Edward won the competition with a slight advantage in the end.
But in Alfred's opinion, Rosalie was obviously letting him win on purpose.
She was also a girl whose true thoughts were not easy to guess, so Alfred didn't understand why Rosalie deliberately let Edward win.
Finally, there is Stephanie, who has always kept her distance from everyone.
This foreign princess, like Liliana, showed no mercy to her opponent.
She beat a girl from the Hera class so hard that she was covered in dirt and cried out of grievance and rushed out of the training ground.
"E-Electro, it's almost our turn. Let's cheer together."
Elaje held the small ball with the number on it in both hands and spoke to Alfred very shyly.
"Well, let's work hard together. Also, if you don't mind, Lespinas, you can just call me Alfred from now on without the honorific."
"Eh?! Then... Alfred, classmate."
Ella Jeal shyly tried to read it, but finally decided to add "classmate" after Alfred's name.
She was so flustered that she even accidentally bit her tongue.
Seeing Ella covering her mouth and blushing, Alfred couldn't help but laugh.
"Yes, Elaje."
"Ella,"
Ella Jeer puffed up her cheeks slightly and said this for no reason.
"Ok?"
Alfred was confused and had no idea what she meant by this.
"Ella, s-people who are close to me will call me that. I-I also hope that you, Alfred, can just call me Ella."
"Then~ Ella, you can just call me Al."
Elajeer is usually very shy, but she is very bold in some strange ways.
Seeing her blushing face and pleading seriously, Alfred couldn't help but want to tease her.
"Eh?!"
"If you don't call me Al, then I won't call you Ella either."
"Eh?! No, no, I, Al-san..."
Ella lowered her head in embarrassment.
"Okay, Ella-san."
"Students from No. 37 to No. 42, please come and gather together and prepare to start the mock battle."
As soon as the conversation between the two came to an end, Webster shouted loudly.
As Alfred was about to leave, he noticed Brady in the distance also stood up and walked towards Webster.
(Ahhh…this is really troublesome.)
Because he had just seen Ella's number, Alfred knew that he would not match up with her.
But this also means that there is a high probability that one of them will encounter the troublesome Brady as an opponent in the simulation battle.
Brady's fighting method in the duel with the upperclassmen was very brutal.
And maybe it was because of a twisted personality or something, but Alfrid heard that Brady would actively destroy his opponent's puppets in very bizarre ways.
This couldn't help but make Alfred worried.
"Ella, be careful in the next mock battle. If you feel it is not okay, just call instructor McAles (Webster) to end the mock battle."
Alfred whispered a warning to Ella beside him.
"Eh? Ok, ok."
I don't know if she understood what Alfred meant.
Elajeer just hugged the black cat - her puppet, the three-tailed civet cat, and nodded cutely.
"Now No. 36 and No. 37 go to circle one, and students with other numbers go to circle two and three."
Webster said.
Alfred held the number 36 ball in his hand and came to the number one circle.
And his opponent just happened to be that woman, cough, Curitis.
"Oh, I didn't expect that we were assigned to the same group."
Alfred took the initiative to greet the other party.
"Yes, Elect, it seems that we are unexpectedly destined to be together. But to be honest, I don't want to be assigned to the same group with you at all."
Curitis sighed with a complicated expression.
"Why?"
Alfred felt a little curious, so he asked directly.
"Senior Holhua, who duelled with you before, is now in a state of collapse. It is said that he has not attended classes properly since the duel with you. I don't want to end up like that."
"You are surprisingly well-informed~"
"Because I am actually very interested in businessmen and money. If you are classmate Elect, you must understand the importance of intelligence, right?"
Curitis spread his hands, shrugged his shoulders and asked Alfred.
"What a surprise. I thought you liked to do tricks, like a magician."
"A magician~ Maybe that's not bad either. If I perform publicly, I really hope you can come and support me, Elect."
"Please let me attend then."
After a brief verbal battle between the two, Webster announced the official start of the mock battle.
Emilia, who had been following Alfred, lifted her invisibility.
And Kuritis summoned a huge, ferocious-looking black flying dragon.
"Oh~ This isn't the puppet you summoned from the Gate of Life before entering school."
