Join the ServerIn short, the bento competition also came to an end.
Although Elsa was not reconciled to the result, she could only admit that Lillian’s bento was superior.
But this didn’t mean her luxurious feast was completely useless.
“I tried yours, so you should try mine!”
Elsa said this casually, making Charlotte complain.
“Bro, can you stop omitting the most critical parts of your sentences?”
At Elsa’s enthusiastic invitation, Charlotte couldn’t refuse. She took her chopsticks and picked up a juicy chicken leg from Elsa’s food box.
“Then I’ll reluctantly help you finish off a chicken leg!”
Because it had been in the dimensional space for too long, the sauce on the chicken leg had turned thick and sticky.
Looking at the strange chicken leg, Charlotte frowned slightly. ‘How many days ago did Elsa make this feast? Is it really safe to eat in this state? Will I end up in the hospital after eating it?’
‘Forget it. Since Elsa is eating it so heartily, this chicken leg should be fine.’
‘Even if there’s something wrong with it, Elsa will be the one going to the hospital first.’
Thinking this, Charlotte decided to ignore the minor details and placed the chicken leg into her own bento box.
However, before she could put it into her mouth, a magic bullet suddenly flew out and hit the chicken leg on her chopsticks, smashing it to pieces.
“Eh?” Charlotte and Elsa were stunned. They immediately reacted and scrambled up from the ground, looking around warily.
“An enemy!”
“Did those witches catch up to us? Have they already tracked us here?”
Charlotte and Elsa cautiously scanned their surroundings, but the mist was too thick to see where the attack came from.
Magic detection also yielded nothing. The attacker was like air, completely nonexistent until the moment of attack.
They could only perceive a faint magical fluctuation when the attack was launched and had to rely on a rough direction to defend.
After barely fending off a few magic bullets that shot out from the fog, Charlotte and Elsa both showed expressions of frustration.
“This attacker is quite skilled at concealing their magical power. To be able to hide their presence from both of us… who exactly is this attacker?”
Hearing Elsa’s deduction, Charlotte immediately remembered that Instructor Sista had mentioned two instructors infiltrating the Mist Forest to interfere with the examination.
“Could the attacker be one of the twelve instructors?”
“What? An instructor? Is an instructor here in this forest?” Elsa looked surprised.
“Didn’t you listen when Sista announced the rules? There are two instructors here.”
“I missed it! There were so many witches taking the exam, and I was on the very edge of the crowd. It’s only natural that I didn’t catch every word!”
“In any case, this is likely a sudden attack from an instructor. Can we both handle her?”
“Uh… let’s try it and see.”
At that moment, three magic bullets shot out from their front again.
They quickly put up a barrier to block them.
However, the moment they blocked the bullets, another bullet shot from behind them, hitting Charlotte’s bento box and knocking it over.
The food fell onto the ground, no longer edible.
“My bento!” Charlotte cried out in alarm.
“Hey! What time is it, and you’re still carrying a bento box? Are you saying I was the only one defending just now?”
“How could that be? I did my share! Did you forget that I don’t need a wand to cast spells?”
“Is that why you’re carrying a bento box while fighting in such a tense situation?”
“Of course! I haven’t finished eating yet. How can I fight on an empty stomach?”
After bickering for a while, they realized that the attacker wasn’t just in front of them; there was another one hiding behind them in the fog.
In other words, they were being attacked simultaneously by two instructors.
Realizing this, Charlotte and Elsa were forced to back against each other to defend against the attacks.
They barely managed to block the barrage of magic bullets.
“This isn’t working! Are we just going to stand here and take hits?”
Charlotte complained.
Elsa, also unable to stand being used as a target, shouted loudly into the surrounding area.
“Hey, you two! Stop hiding! If you have guts, come out and fight us one on one!”
“Eh? Fight them one on one? Will we win?” Charlotte muttered.
They were just fourth-year apprentices at Starsea Magic Academy.
They were still several years away from being able to challenge an instructor.
She didn’t know where Elsa got the courage to challenge the instructors like this.
However, just as Elsa finished shouting, a cold female voice echoed through the surrounding area.
“Oh? You want to face us head-on? Do you really think you can defeat us?”
“Hmph, no matter how strong you are, you’re still just witches! Since you’re witches like us, there’s no reason we absolutely cannot win! You just have more experience than us, that’s all!”
Elsa shouted back, her aura undiminished despite the pressure from the instructors. Her sharpness even impressed the instructors hiding in the fog.
“As expected of that man’s daughter! Your courage is commendable!”
“However, you’re…”
Footsteps suddenly emerged from the fog in front of Charlotte and Elsa. They both immediately looked ahead in alarm.
A short, blue-haired girl with twin tails, wearing a pink dress, appeared before them, staring at them with an expressionless face.
“…you won’t be able to defeat us!”
Hearing this, Charlotte and Elsa’s eyes widened in shock.
This voice didn’t come from the blue-haired girl in front of them, but from behind them.
Charlotte and Elsa turned around frantically and saw another girl standing behind them, also wearing a pink dress and having blue twin tails.
Both girls were astonishingly similar in appearance and voice, in height and weight.
“What exactly are you…?”
Seeing the two girls so eerily similar, Elsa was astonished.
She wondered if these two were actually instructors. Why had she never seen them before?
“Lyra Starlight.” The blue-haired girl in front softly spoke her name.
“Lyra Starlight.” The pink-haired girl behind her also spoke her name.
Then, the two of them spoke in unison.
“We are the newly promoted twelfth-ranked instructors, the Witches of Love!”
