Chapter 92: 91. Magical Girl, Transform!
Inside the Armed Society's grand Gladiator Arena, the fierce battle continued, and the audience was fired up, cheering loudly.
"Yes, yes, yes, the President should be like this, teach this arrogant guy a lesson."
"Wuwuwu, Fairy King, why are you only dodging? Fight back! Show us your spirit as the King of Duels!"
"Oh, come on, don't make it so hard for her. No matter how strong the Fairy King is, she's only a Magic Net Duel champion. Madeline is the real Youth Group Duel King. It's already impressive that an amateur isn't instantly defeated by a professional."
The onlookers were arguing again.
In the skybox above the audience seats, the Thirteenth Enforcement Squad was also nervously watching the match. Alice, who had been revived, watched her sister being chased and hacked at below, looking quite pathetic. She wanted to cheer for her sister, but remembering her identity as an Armed Society member, she quickly covered her mouth, only able to silently root for her sister in her heart.
"Go, sister! You're the one who defeated the Student Council President! You're definitely going to win this one too."
The Little Witch believed this firmly in her heart.
Not far away, the revived Second Seat, Lena, was complaining to Mia, the First Seat, who was next to her.
"Mia, your going easy was too obvious. Why did you only take hits and not fight back? And what was with that confession?"
"Oh, oh... Was I that obvious? I was clearly defending with all my might. Who told that child to be so diligent?"
Mia said, perfunctorily, while her eyes were fixed on the figure frantically fleeing below.
"Lena, love sometimes comes so suddenly. What can I do about love at first sight? Besides, I'm at the age to settle down. Is there anything wrong with boldly pursuing true love when I find it? I thought you, as my sister, would bless me."
The wild, dark-skinned cat-girl rolled her eyes, not buying her sister's bluster.
"Mia, stop it. I don't believe in love at first sight! What's going on with this young lady? I didn't notice it before, but now that I look closely, her moves are clearly all shadows of your own, Mia. It was like that with her boxing, and now it's like that with her spear. Are you two taught by the same master? Is she your junior sister or something?"
"I really don't know about that. Although that child just said she learned from me, I really haven't actively taught her anything."
Mia propped her chin with her hand, tilting her head slightly, a little puzzled.
She had truly only abused that child for over two years. She hadn't noticed before, but now she realized that child's comprehension was a bit terrifying. She used to treat her as a punching bag, but it turns out the child was treating her as a free teacher. No wonder that child always seemed so happy despite being so cruelly tormented by her.
However, the rich dragon girl wasn't angry about her beloved's secret learning. After all, her Battle Method and martial arts were actually a gift from the Dragon King to all the Demonesses of the Dragon Kingdom. This stuff was like a fitness routine that even children in the Dragon Kingdom knew; there was no rule against it being spread.
Moreover, this set of techniques was created by the Dragon King specifically based on the characteristics of the Dragon Witch. Only a Dragon Witch could learn and use it; other races of Demonesses would learn it in vain. And the Little Fairy was also a Dragon Witch, so she naturally had the right to learn this set of Battle Method and martial arts.
Although this martial art was common in the Dragon Kingdom, it was still a profound technique personally taught by the Dragon King. It would be easy to learn with a teacher, but difficult to even get started without one. Yet, this Little Fairy had managed to completely self-learn it just by watching her use it, and had even practiced it to a point where her "teacher" now felt ashamed of her own skills.
Hmm, as expected of the person I fancy, she's amazing.
However, judging from the fact that the Little Fairy needed to secretly learn this Dragon King Battle Method, it seems she's not a Demoness from the Dragon Kingdom. Is she one of those children who ended up outside? How pitiful. Later, I'll ask her if there's anything else she wants to learn; I can teach her, even my own secret techniques. Anyway, Miahas decided on this child; she'll become a part of the Astros family sooner or later.
The golden princess believed this firmly in her heart.
On the other side, at the very front of the audience seats, Sophia was also watching the match below. Seeing her own young lady being chased and hacked at by Madeline, almost powerless to fight back, the Angel Witch felt conflicted.
On one hand, seeing this young lady, who usually annoyed her every day, suffer, she felt a secret pleasure. But on the other hand, this young lady was, after all, her own. Her win or loss wasn't important; what was important was that it concerned the teacher's face. So, she actually hoped the young lady would win.
Moreover, she had been sneak-attacked and instantly killed by the young lady last time due to a moment of carelessness. But if the young lady now lost to Madeline, wouldn't that mean she was inferior to Madeline?
What a joke, that's unacceptable.
So, young lady, please be more competitive! Just like you said last night, you're the one who defeated me. I won't allow you to lose to anyone else, otherwise, otherwise...
The Angel Witch "otherwise-ed" for a long time, finally realizing with a heavy heart that she really couldn't do anything about this young lady.
Hmph, never mind. If she loses, I'll find her every day for "sparring" when we get back. I'll torment her a hundred times with methods even harsher than Madeline's. That way, I can prove that I didn't lose to Madeline.
Sophia, with a strange desire to win, decided this in her heart. The teacher would surely approve of such proactive training for the young lady.
And in the highest seat of the Armed Society President, Audrey, whose figure was completely hidden by the "Witch's Akalin Technique," was also nervously watching the match below.
"Go, Big Sister! Beat that arrogant Senior Sister!"
The Little Fairy clenched her tiny fists, cheering on her Big Sister, but then she thought about how Senior Sister still held the key to the life-imbued Puppetry she wanted to learn. What if her Big Sister completely thrashed Senior Sister? What if Senior Sister got angry and refused to teach her, her own Junior Sister, out of spite?
"Ummm, Senior Sister, you go too?"
The Little Fairy wagged her tail, pondering with a conflicted expression.
Hmm, I'll cheer for Big Sister with my hands, and for Senior Sister with my tail, that's it.
Below the stage, in the Gladiator Arena, Dorothy, who had originally planned to kite her opponent by leveraging her longer weapon, now realized with despair that she was the clown all along.
"Damn it, why did I have to run my mouth and suggest a weapon comparison? Getting hit by fists is definitely better than being chased and hacked at with a sword, right?"
She regretted it so much that she wished she could slap her past self from a few minutes ago for suggesting a weapon battle.
But in truth, she didn't even have time for regrets now.
"Oh no, here it comes again! I'm dodging!"
She hadn't even had time to catch her breath when the snake-like, winding Serpent-Blade struck again. Even though Dorothy tried her best to dodge, using the Shrinking Ground technique to flash a short distance away, she found that a wound was still cut across her waist.
And this wasn't the only wound on her body; her originally pristine school uniform was now tattered like a beggar's rags.
She was naturally afraid of pain, but a duel in reality wasn't like the Magic Net, where pain could be freely adjusted. While it wasn't impossible to forcibly block it with magic, doing so would greatly weaken her perception, likely leading to an even faster defeat.
"Tsk, good thing I know a little bit about everything. Healing spell, healing spell."
She raised her hand and cast a healing spell on herself, mending her wounds. The pain was gone now, but seeing her fair skin faintly visible through the holes in her robes, Dorothy was utterly fed up.
"No, I can't drag this out any longer. If this continues, even if I don't get kited to death, I'll be streaking in front of everyone. I have to go all in. Anyway, I can't outplay her technically, and I can't out-range her with kiting. All that's left is to go wild."
The Serpent-Blade, which she had just dodged, now coiled back again, striking once more towards Dorothy, its sharp blade glinting with a cold light.
However, this time, Zhai Mo Nv was no longer dodging.
"When two brave souls meet, the braver one wins. I must have been out of my mind to insist on playing tactics earlier. This is using my weakness to attack the enemy's strength! I should have just gone all out from the beginning, especially since I have the advantage in attributes."
Dorothy had a sudden realization.
So,
"It's time for a full sprint, Magical Girl, transform!"
The incomparably sharp Serpent-Blade plunged straight towards the motionless enemy, who seemed to have given up struggling. It intended to deliver a finishing blow.
Only,
With a crisp clang.
The incredibly sharp blade, less than 1cm from its opponent, was suddenly blocked by the dazzling golden light emanating from the opponent's body, emitting a crisp sound of metal striking metal.
"Invincible Golden Body Spell?"
The Succubus Witch, who had been leisurely chasing with the sword hilt in hand, squinted her eyes, dazzled by the blinding golden light. She speculated.
She wasn't worried about this; in fact, she still felt victory was within her grasp. After all, the Invincible Golden Body Spell was usually a last-ditch life-saving technique used in desperate situations. While its defense was indeed invincible, its duration was very short, less than five seconds, and the caster couldn't move while in the golden body state, only wait to die in place.
This spell was a life-saving divine skill on the battlefield when there were teammates for support, but in a one-on-one duel, it was quite useless.
Only five seconds? Could this young lady really turn the tide?
However, the next moment, a sacred song, from who knew where, suddenly began to play, and Dorothy, who should have been immobile in her golden body state, suddenly began to dance awkwardly.
Madeline: "..."
The Succubus Witch was also dumbfounded by this scene; a string of question marks appeared above her head.
"Ah, my eyes!"
"Damn it, indiscriminate blinding magic is too ruthless!"
"Shit, I'm blind!"
The spectators in the stands, the onlookers, had their eyes blinded by the sudden burst of intense glare. For Demonesses with their physical prowess, mere strong light wasn't much, but the light also carried a blinding spell, which was genuinely eye-watering and very hard to endure.
Immediately, the less powerful onlookers had already bowed their heads, wiping away tears. Only a small number of Demonesses with high magic resistance or high abnormal status resistance could barely make out what was happening in the arena.
"Hymn of Blessing?"
In front of the spectator stands, Sophia also raised an eyebrow, recognizing what the ethereal and sacred singing was.
"Ah, this… this seems to be our Beastmen tribe's ceremonial war dance."
On seat number two, the dark-skinned cat girl Rena recognized the truth behind Dorothy's awkward dance in her golden body state.
"Battle Robe Alchemy?"
In seat number one, Mia was completely unafraid of the amplified version of the flash spell that could blind people. She watched the figure, dancing and beginning to armor up within the holy light, and was also slightly stunned.
Only the invisible Little Fairy was excited at this moment.
"Wow, Senior Sister, you said you weren't a fan of the Forest Witch! This is clearly the Witch's Magical Girl Transformation Spell that was just released a while ago. By the way, can this spell really be used in actual combat? Big Sister clearly dismissed it as worthless before."
Little Witch transforming.
