Chapter 119 Puppet Showdown in Practical Class (3)
"I didn't expect that you still remember what happened back then, Elect. That kid isn't really suited to fighting, so I found someone more suitable."
Kuritis patted the black dragon's leg and replied.
"I see... Then, can you just lie down obediently~"
Alfred said to the black flying dragon.
Curitis didn't react to what was happening and looked confused.
The black dragon ignored him and lowered its head obediently, as if lying on the ground to show respect to Alfred.
(Ah, it seems that what Emilia said is true. I seem to have become the highest-ranking being in the dragon clan now.)
Alfred found it mildly amusing.
"But I think I've encountered dragon creatures before, and I never saw them being so well-behaved."
He couldn't help but mutter under his breath.
"That's because you, Al, are not a dragon. You don't have the intimidating feeling that dragons have. Al can only indirectly show the intimidating feeling through words, magic, or body movements to make these idiots realize how powerful you are."
Emilia leaned over to Alfred's ear and explained.
“But Al, you’d better not use this as an excuse to give orders to Dragonborn or sub-dragonborn that go against their will, otherwise some young and energetic fools will try to resist violently, making things very troublesome.
Although I think, Al, you would never do such a thing."
"So this is ah……"
"What did you do just now? Why would this child listen to you so much?!"
Curitis finally reacted and pointed at Alfred and yelled.
(Wow, this guy has a really long reaction time.)
"I didn't do anything, did I?"
The black flying dragon nodded at Curitis as if responding to Alfred's words.
"Obviously, have you colluded with my evil dragon?!"
"No, let's start a mock battle to the extent that neither side will get hurt."
Alfred shrugged his shoulders and glossed over the question vaguely.
The evil flying dragon seemed to be relieved. This shouldn't be his illusion.
"Tsk, forget it. Evil Dragon, use breath..."
On the other side, a violent explosion in circle three interrupted Curitis.
"Ulysses, stop it now."
Immediately following the explosion, there was the roar of Webster, the practical course instructor.
however……
There was a second explosion.
?◇?◇?◇?◇?
Let’s go back to an earlier time.
Elaje, who got number 42, confronted Brady.
"Tsk, this stinky cat is really annoying, jumping around everywhere! Asmodeus, burn it to ashes with the hellfire!"
Brady was extremely anxious and roared at the demon puppet beside him.
(Eh?! How can such a thing be allowed?!)
Hearing him giving orders to the puppet, Ella, who was standing opposite, became panicked.
"Lulu, defend quickly, use... use the Nether Shield."
She hurriedly gave orders to the three-tailed civet cat, Lulu.
Ellaje's puppet Lulu is not good at fighting, and now almost all she can use are curse magic, or buff magic that improves the attributes of companions.
Furthermore, the only thing is that the movements are very flexible.
So until now, Elajer and Lulu have been adopting a hit-and-run tactic, trying to use some weak curse attacks to hold back Asmodeus and delay as much time as possible.
After all, Lulu's attacks were completely ineffective against Asmodeus.
And there was no way Elajer would let Lulu endure Asmodeus's extremely dangerous attack, so the competition ended with Lulu being defeated.
She originally wanted to delay this until the mock battle was over.
But what Elajeer didn't expect was that Brady would become so angry that he lost his mind and directly ordered Asmodeus to use a highly lethal area magic.
In order to protect Ella, Lulu deployed a magic shield in front of her.
But Lulu's magic shield was no way to block Asmodeus' hellfire.
Lulu's petite body was easily blown away and fell heavily to the ground.
"Lulu!"
Ella screamed.
"Hey, you little stinky cat, let's see how you can keep jumping around now! I'm going to blow you into ashes and see if you dare to bother me again in the future. Asmodeus, shadow bombardment."
After receiving the order, Asmodeus, who was beside Brady, immediately gathered magic power in his four hands.
He was planning to kill Lulu once and for all, Ellaje realized in despair.
"No, no, this is against the rules of the mock battle, right?!"
Elaje screamed.
"Ulysses, stop it now."
Webster, who was a little further away, noticed the situation here and also shouted harshly.
But Brady had no intention of paying any attention to them.
He smiled an extremely sadistic smile and waved at Asmodeus.
(If this continues, Lulu will...)
A very bad thought emerged in Ailajie's mind.
She subconsciously rushed out and hugged Lulu, using her body to block Asmodeus' magic attack for Lulu.
The sharp pain in her back and the deafening noise made her head go into a mess.
Elaje was holding Lulu in her arms when she was blown away by the explosion. She flew for some distance and fell to the ground.
When she opened her eyes, she saw the blue sky.
(My head feels dizzy… My back hurts…)
Although she felt pain in her back, Elaje was still conscious.
Perhaps it was because the training ground had a special barrier that could withstand most of the damage beyond the rated limit for the students.
Although Astimens' attack was extremely powerful, Elaje didn't think she had suffered any fatal injuries.
Lulu in her arms was also safe and sound, which made her feel a little relieved.
"Are you okay, Ella?"
"A-Al-san?!"
?◇?◇?◇?◇?
"Ella, drink this first."
Alfred forced a smile and fed a bottle of special healing potion to Elaje's mouth.
(That bastard really dared to do this...)
He murmured in his heart, trying hard to control his anger.
"Okay, okay..."
Alfred fed half of the potion to Elajeer.
"I'm going to turn your body over. It might be a little painful. Can you please bear with me?"
"Uh-huh,"
Alfred gently wiped away the tears that welled up in Elaje's eyes, then gently lifted her up and turned her over, exposing her back that had been directly hit by the magic.
The injury on Ella's back could only be described as horrific.
