Chapter 27 : The Villainess’s Club Duel (2)

After Aria handed me the potion, I stepped forward, and the senior who would be facing me revealed herself.

She was a student in Class A of the 2nd grade and known to be highly skilled.

“Nice to meet you, junior.”

“Hello, senpai.”

The moment I grabbed the hand that the senior held out, my mana was about to be sucked in, so I hurriedly let go, and she looked at me with a regretful gaze.

“What a pity. It would have been an easy match.”

“How dirty.”

“Oh my, can you say that I’m being strategic?”

Would it be strange if I wanted to punch the senior, who was smiling slyly while looking at me, in the face?

After being with Aria, my personality seems to have changed these days. It’s all because of Aria.

“Achoo!”

“Are you okay, Aria-nim?”

“I’m fine. I think someone is talking bad about me.”

You sly fox. How did she know I was cursing her in my mind….

I didn’t turn around because I thought she would notice, but my back was tingling, so it seemed that she was suspecting me.

At that time, at the same time that the whistle sounded and I was about to attack.

I got a chill down my spine and spread a barrier, and an attack was flying from behind.

If I hadn’t spread a barrier, the match would have ended in an instant.

“How did you know?”

“……..”

The senior was looking at me with a leisurely expression.

While sweating and having the barrier spread, I checked what she had attacked with, and I saw bloodstains on the ground.

Could it be that she used blood as a medium?

At that time, I heard a voice right next to me.

“Junior, you’ll get hurt if you look away?”

“Ah…”

A moment of carelessness gave her the distance.

I wasn’t feeling good when I looked at Clea, who was hit by the attack and was flying away.

I wouldn’t be feeling good when my woman got hit.

I reassured Eve and Lucy, who were watching my expression from the side, and cheered for Clea.

If she does as I told her, she can win. Even if the odds are low, the possibility is open.

Clea, who was gathering herself and preparing to attack after getting up from her seat.

She was creating a countless number of fireballs in the air and attacking without rest, and I could see the senior, who was defending with a barrier and looking for an opportunity.

However, there is one thing that she overlooked.

The fact that Clea’s mana amount had increased to a level that couldn’t even be compared to before due to the high-grade mana stone.

The barrier began to crack from the continuous attacks, and the senior’s face was distorted.

With the scream that asked how much mana she had, the barrier was destroyed, and the area was filled with dust due to Clea’s attack.

At first glance, it seemed that Clea had won at that time.

She was breathing heavily and blurted out words that shouldn’t have been said.

“Did I get her?”

I sighed when I heard those words. Ah, that’s a resurrection spell.

At that time, the senior, who had approached in an instant, piercing through the dust, put her staff to Clea’s neck.

“Junior, I won?”

After the whistle sounded, signaling the end of the match, I hugged Clea, who was coming out of the arena.

“You worked hard.”

“I’m sorry…”

“It’s okay.”

Even though she lost, I would have moved one step further forward with this.

While I was comforting Clea, who was upset, the president called my name.

“Aria Terez, Ruby Ceres, please come forward.”

After hearing those words, I went forward, and she was cheering for me.

After saying that I would win and heading to the middle of the arena, Ruby-senpai was waiting.

“Please take care of me, Ruby-senpai.”

“Okay.”

The moment the whistle sounded. Ruby-senpai drew the sword that she was wearing on her waist and rushed at me.

When I blocked the attack while taking out a sword from the subspace, she looked at me with surprised eyes.

“You’re not a mage?”

“I’m also good at swordsmanship.”

To become a perfect villainess, you have to be excellent in magic and also excellent in swordsmanship.

I went through a rigorous training process and learned to wield a sword to some extent.

I knocked away the sword and continued the battle, but there were no openings.

An embodiment of natural talent and continuous effort.

That’s Ruby-senpai’s swordsmanship.

A skill that is so good that it would unfold a beautiful sight for other people to see.

After 5 minutes, 10 minutes, and then 30 minutes had passed, Ruby-senpai, who was breathing heavily, thrust her sword at me, but the sword was bounced off, and she admitted defeat.

“I lost.”

“You worked hard.”

After putting the sword into the subspace, when I returned to them, everyone had dumbfounded faces, what’s going on?

“What’s wrong, everyone?”

“Wh, when did you start wielding a sword!?”

“Is that what you’re curious about? If you come to my room tonight, I’ll tell you in detail.”

“No thanks.”

Heeing, I can tell her in detail, but I was rejected.

I was going to teach her swordsmanship and even techniques.

While I was dejected, they called the next name.

It’s Lucy’s turn.

When she stepped forward, a huge woman came forward from the opposing side, it was like a match between an adult and a child.

Even though she could be intimidated by the opponent’s appearance, Lucy’s firm eyes didn’t change.

I don’t know who taught her, but they taught her very well.

At the same time that the whistle, signaling the start, sounded and the huge senior was rushing at Lucy, a brilliant light turned into a chain and bound the senior’s whole body.

Lucy, who approached the senior, who was bound tightly by the chains and couldn’t do anything, extended her staff forward.

She finished it faster than any other match and came to me and her eyes were sparkling, saying that she won, so when I patted her head, she made a happy laugh.

Was she this strong originally? As expected, the main character is the main character.

It wasn’t like this when I saw her a while ago.

The last player.

Eve stepped forward, and Nickel Blood-senpai stepped forward from the opposing side.

After bowing politely, just as she was about to prepare an attack while spreading a barrier.

The barrier was broken in an instant, and Eve had a scratch on her arm.

It was a situation where the match could have ended with a single hit, but it didn’t.

Did my expression show at that appearance?

Lucy was holding my hand tightly next to me.

“Are you okay?”

“I’m okay.”

I said it calmly, but I wasn’t okay.

Even in this situation, Eve’s body was getting scratched one by one.

Nickel Blood was purposely not ending the match to play with her.

I wanted to forfeit the match right away, but I can’t step forward due to Eve’s determined eyes.

She wasn’t giving up even in this situation.

She was taking a step forward and swinging her staff, saying that she would win somehow, but it was being blocked too easily.

“How boring. I didn’t know your skill was this terrible, junior.”

“……”

With those words, a scratch was made on Eve’s slender neck, and the whistle that signaled the end of the match resounded.

While Lucy was supporting Eve, who was covered in wounds, and healing her.

She apologized in a small voice.

“I’m sorry, Miss…”

“It’s okay. Eve did well.”

While comforting Eve, a 30-minute break time was given.

With the current score being tied 2:2, while preparing for the winning streak match for those who had won, Nickel Blood-senpai was approaching us.

“Are you okay? Was I too much? I’m sorry.”

“It’s alright, senpai.”

The senior, who was apologizing with bored eyes, and Eve, who was bowing, were there.

And then she was looking at me.

“I’m just telling you this for the junior’s sake, but wouldn’t it be better to surrender now?”

“It’s alright, senpai.”

Then, while thinking while looking at her back as she turned around after saying good luck.

Her personality seems to be lacking, I think I should guide her to the right path as a junior.

After the 30-minute break time ended, I moved to the center of the arena, and the senior who had won against Clea came up.

“Nice to meet you, junior. Let’s have a good match.”

“Please take care of me, senpai. But, I don’t think it will be a good match.”

“What does that mean?”

The moment the whistle sounded, I swung my hand, and a huge amount of mana covered her.

Screams were running rampant everywhere due to the ripple that had reached even the audience seats.

The senior, who was hit head-on, fell to the ground, and due to the match ending in an instant, the whistle sounded late.

“I controlled my power so that you wouldn’t get hurt, so there won’t be any problems. Get some sleep and wake up.”

The professors, who had run up urgently, were checking the senior’s condition and announced that there was nothing wrong.

While I was waiting for the next opponent in the center of the arena, Nickel Blood-senpai gradually revealed herself.

She was looking at me with surprised eyes and approached me.

“You were hiding that much power? This match is going to be fun.”

“It won’t just be fun.”

“What does that mean?”

The senior was looking at me, as if she didn’t know what I meant.

“67 times, right?”

The number of wounds that the senior had inflicted on Eve’s body.

I decided to receive exactly that much.
