“The winners are Rose and Joseph!” The principal announced.
Gasps of surprise sounded in the stands. All of the students directed their gaze to the winner of the fight, more specifically, to the black-haired hero.
Many students and teachers wondered about the identity of the girl, after all, most of them had no idea that the academy had accepted a new genius.
With her sixth-tier strength and powerful combat strength in just her first year at the institute, Rose was truly a monstrous genius, even above Dina and Katherine in terms of talent. His future is unlimited.
Moreover, he was an ordinary person who was not affiliated with any noble house. With a bit of hunting, perhaps he could become a pillar of the noble family.
Rose was not interested in that. He was too distracted sulking after the battle. He expected more than two upperclassmen, but they were eventually defeated after one strike.
“How to disappoint.” He shook his head and left the arena. He did not even wait for the apologies of the two nobles. He's not interested in that. The only reason he participated in the duel in the first place was to face a strong opponent.
Seeing that, Joseph felt awkward to apologize and also left the arena.
When Rose came back with us, she looked at me with a provocative gaze.
I'll win this time. That was what his eyes seemed to say.
I shrugged and replied with a fearless smile. Rose looked at him and nodded in satisfaction.
“As expected, I really want to fight with you again.”
I decided to ignore the words that came out of his mouth.
A healing magician entered the arena and healed two nobles. Although Rose's attack looked serious, it was actually so sharp that the wound was so small. A bit of healing magic was enough to return the two nobles to normal condition.
Once they recovered, the two nobles swallowed their pride and accepted their loss. They reluctantly go to apologize to Joseph, and although Joseph feels a bit awkward accepting the apology he did not get, he decides to accept it.
The nobles then left the place, too embarrassed to see the next duel.
Principal Evelyn saw us next.
“Alright, are you ready?”
Alan and Dina looked at each other and nodded.
“How do you want to do it, Alan? I don't mind fighting you one on one.”
Alan thought for a moment before shaking his head. “I'm obviously stronger than you, so the fight between us doesn't make sense. I'm not gonna bully you like that. What do you think of the elimination fight?”
“heh! Do you think I didn't know you were afraid of being beaten by me in public? You're still a coward, Alan.you don't dare to fight me now that we're both in the sixth layer! ”
Alan's expression turned cold. "Do you dare to accept it or not?"
Dina grunts in disgust. “Do you think I don't dare? Even if I know what you're planning, I accept your proposal. ”
Alan nodded. "Very good. Principal, we will do an elimination fight.”
"okay." Evelyn nodded in agreement. "You have five minutes to get ready!"
Elimination fighting is a very used mode of competition when two teams are facing each other. In this kind of battle, two teams of seven would send their respective members to the arena. Every time one member was eliminated, another would step in to replace him. In the end, the team with at least one member standing in the arena won.
Mmm.. This time Dina was too chatty. Competition like this is hurting us.
Although OSIS has geniuses like Dina, Katherine, and Rose; they are freshmen or second-year students. Neither the OSIS nor the student guards had any higher grade members.
Meanwhile, the club committee is controlled by Alan, the crown prince and fifth-year student. Because of this, the club committee has swallowed up almost all of the outstanding students from the higher years.
The club committee had no shortage of sixth-tier students. In other words, they only needed to defeat Dina, Katherine, and Rose, in order to obtain victory.
"What do you think?" ask Dina.
“It will be difficult.” Katherine replied while frowning.
"In addition to Rose, you, and I, we don't have a sixth layer disciple anymore.I only have a fifth layer disciple as a subordinate who is rushing towards here right now."
"That's enough." I smiled and looked at Dina. “Sister, have you forgotten Daisy? He is already at the fifth layer and can increase his strength up to the seventh layer.”
Dina's eyes sparkled. "You're right! But ... Can he get here?
"I'm here, princess." A voice answered from behind him. Dina turned around and saw two beautiful girls standing still with smiles on their faces.
The two remaining members of OSIS, Daisy and Andrea, are here.
"Why are you here?" ask Dina.
“We ran after we found out about the duel. Fortunately, we managed to make it in time.” Daisy replied with a relieved smile.
Dina nodded happily. "good! Now we only need two more people.”.
"What about me?" I raised my hand. "I don't want to boast, sister, but I'm strong enough."
“... Huh? But you're still in the fourth layer. ”
I grinned and released my aura after adjusting it to the fifth layer.
Dina opened her eyes wide. “So, you broke through, yeah. Great, that's my sister!”
Katherine nodded in satisfaction. “Mm, prince Claus is stronger than mana layer, so he is qualified to fight. But, what about the last participant?”
We looked at each other with helpless expressions. The current formation already consisted of the strongest members of both committees. Moreover, only Andrea and Iris are available now. And they were in the third and fourth layers respectively.
Dina's expression was gloomy. “Sorry guys, I shouldn't have approved Alan's proposal. I know we were harmed, but.”.
I smiled and held Dina's hand. “Don't worry about that, brother. Moreover, the elimination fight was not a bad choice. Alan's cultivation was higher than yours or Katherine's, so if any of you were to go against him, the chances of winning were at most forty-sixty. The only reason Alan proposed the elimination fight was because he should not lose here, or his reputation would receive a heavy blow.”
I then looked towards Andrea and Iris. “... Looks like we should do what we have here.” I focused my gaze on the strongest of the couple.
When Iris felt my gaze, her face turned pale. "P-Prince, p-daughter, I don't think I'm enough!"
However, Dina's gaze was already hot. “Don't worry, Iris. You'll just be there to make the numbers. ”
"But …"
I smiled and put my hand on her shoulder. "Relax, I have a plan."
Iris's face became even paler.
