In the afternoon of the next day, Shirai Kuroko took Misaka Mikoto and squeezed to the list outside the arena, and successfully saw her and her sister's names on it.
"!!"
"which one……"
"Sister! Sister!"
"Look!"
"It seems that the top 100 list has really come out, and you and I have been directly promoted by a bye!"
"That's great!"
Then, she cheered directly, which attracted the attention of many onlookers around her.
However, no one around him dared to make random comments or point fingers.
Because they all know that the two girls in front of them are both extraordinary beings. One has terrifying electric shock ability, while the other can directly bring people to an altitude of 10,000 meters. For such a being, there is no way Who would actively choose to provoke them.
"Really..."
"Suffer it."
"The next battle will be even more difficult..."
Mikoto knew that the reason why the two of them were given a bye was simply that they performed too eye-catchingly. Then, the judges directly allowed them to advance, so as not to block the way for others to advance. Before this list came out, they had already Someone had informed them first, so she wasn't too surprised now.
"look!"
"Those three of them seem to have advanced..."
Soon, Kuroko saw the names of Tohsaka Rin, Luvia and Illya on the list, those three hateful magical girls who couldn't deal with them.
"That's normal!"
"As you know, no matter what, their magic is still quite strong. Heizi, you must be careful if you encounter them."
Mikoto looked at the list and found that except for the three people Kuroko mentioned just now and Hermione, there were few others she knew. After that, she pulled Kuroko and squeezed out of the crowd, and then she didn't forget to turn around and give a warning. .
"careful?"
"No!"
"Sister, don't worry, I'm not afraid of them!"
"Heizi, I still have a lot of powerful tricks that are of no use!"
Kuroko looked a little dismissive of Mikoto's instructions.
Because the fact is exactly what she said. So far, she has been deliberately hiding some more powerful moves and has never used them! When the time comes, if she really meets those 'enemies', she believes that they will be surprised.
"Are you still angry with them?"
"never mind."
"As you wish!"
First, she stared at Kuroko with some surprise, who was smiling sinisterly, and she didn't know what he was thinking in her heart. Then, Mikoto shook her head, and sighed in confusion, not intending to say too much. many.
After all, when things here are over, they will go back to Academy City. By then, they will be in different worlds, and it will be difficult for them to meet each other. Therefore, should the two parties resolve conflicts or something like that? She didn't care much about it.
Furthermore, Mikoto herself didn't want to take the initiative to apologize to the three little guys, so she could only leave the matter like this for the time being! Anyway, in this world, they will definitely not fight again.
Of course, if you encounter them during a competition, the situation will be different.
"Eh?"
"Kuroko!"
"Where are the Index people?"
"Why don't I seem to see her today?"
Then, Mikoto suddenly remembered something and couldn't help but asked in confusion.
Yesterday, Mikoto rested in her room all morning, and then she didn't see Index again in the afternoon. In the evening, they didn't have dinner together in the palace, and they just went to the city to hang out with Kuroko. They went shopping, celebrating their victory, and it was only now that she remembered the guy who had a somewhat low sense of existence that they had all forgotten about.
"Index?"
"I don't know..."
"Maybe, still sleeping in the castle?"
Heizi scratched his face, and then guessed with some uncertainty.
"impossible!"
Mikoto shook her head firmly.
"Look, what time has it been? Index would never have slept until this point."
"She's not Annie..."
If it was Annie, Mikoto still believed that, after all, when they were in Academy City, they had already deeply experienced Annie's laziness and laziness in daily life, and although Index was also It's a bit bad, but the situation is definitely not as serious as that of a bad little girl.
"That……"
"Maybe she was infected by Annie?"
"Anyway!"
"I haven't seen that guy today!"
Now, Heizi just wants to live a two-person world with his elder sister. As for Index, that big light bulb, she will definitely not take the initiative to find him, at least not yet.
"All right!"
"Ignore her for now!"
After thinking about it, she felt that Index would not run around, and even if she disappeared, Annie would still be responsible for it, so Mikoto quickly felt relieved.
"correct!"
"Heizi, you and Shirley are considered acquaintances, right?"
Then, Mikoto suddenly remembered something, and looked sideways at Kuroko who was holding her arm with questioning eyes and asked.
"That Princess Shirley?"
"certainly!"
"We met yesterday afternoon and evening when we continued the 'special training'."
What Kuroko calls special training is a duel with a nasty bear or someone else.
Especially that bear!
Although, in most cases, they end up with a tragic defeat, and at the same time they are tortured and killed by the opponent in various ways, but it is undeniable that the bear did teach them a lot of danger perception and fighting. Practical experience, otherwise, when she dealt with that roar yesterday morning, she might have been defeated due to carelessness.
In Heizi's view, the orc's sneak attack yesterday morning was far inferior to the thrilling duel between them and that hateful bear... After suppressing their strength to basically the same level, Under such circumstances, the bear would always find various ways to catch them off guard, making them itchy with hatred but helpless every time.
Otherwise, they wouldn't have been willing to go to that hateful guy for that horrible and horrifying special training, like a masochist, even after being 'bullied'.
"Sister-sama, why do you ask her?"
As she said that, Kuroko looked at her senior Mikoto with some anxiety and suspicion, wanting to know why the other party suddenly mentioned Shirley's name.
"It's nothing!"
"only……"
"Up above, I didn't seem to see her name just now..."
"Has she been eliminated?"
Thinking of the stubborn and hard-working princess, and then thinking about the list, Mikoto couldn't help but feel a little worried, and also felt a little sorry for her friend who was about the same age as them.
"I wasn't paying attention just now!"
"But if you don't have a name, you must be eliminated, right?"
"It can't be helped!"
"She's not like us. She definitely won't be able to improve too much in a short period of time. If she were in our secret base, there would be a way, but it definitely won't work here."
Heizi thought about it for a while and then said it in a perfunctory manner.
Now is a rare time for her and her sister to be alone. Index happens to be away. Later, she will pester her sister to go to the city to have a candlelight dinner for the two of them, and then simply stay outside at night. She can …
Hey hey hey...
As he thought about it, Kuroko's saliva couldn't help but fall from the corner of his mouth, and at the same time, the hands holding Mikoto's arms couldn't help but become tighter.
"Too!"
"but……"
"I think, maybe, we can go help her?"
After walking forward for a while, Mikoto suddenly stopped and said with some uncertainty.
"How to help?"
"This is another world, a floating island!"
"It's not our Academy City. There must be nothing we can do, right?"
Heizi was puzzled, but also vaguely dissatisfied and wary.
Because, Heizi could see that her sister seemed to be particularly interested in the guy named 'Shirley', which made her feel the slightest threat, and then she couldn't help but think about it too much.
"Of course I'm trying to win the championship!"
"If we win, we will have the final say in this world!"
"When the time comes, we will definitely be able to help."
Although Mikoto has never been too eager to win or anything, it would still be great if she could win. At least, she could do a lot of things and help her new friend Shirley, which would be great. However.
She had heard that if the floating island hadn't suddenly appeared, Shirley's Kingdom of Karsus would have been attacked and destroyed by some empire. And now, only Karsus City and Karsus are left in Karsus. A small piece of territory, not to mention how pitiful it is.
"hope so……"
"Let's go!"
"Sister-sama, let's go back to find Index!"
With that said, Kuroko once again dragged Mikoto's hand and ran towards the city.
However, she didn't really want to go back to find Index, she just wanted to draw her sister's attention away from a certain unlucky princess named 'Shirley'.
Wait for a while. After arriving in the city, she will definitely take her sister to go shopping. When the time comes, no matter if it is Index or Shirley, she will not disturb them at all.
…
However, what Kuroko and Mikoto didn't know was that the 'Shirley' they were talking about was not very pitiful at this time, but was excited and surprised in the house they were assigned as the Karsus Inn. Meeting with a certain archmage who suddenly came to the door.
That Archmage was not who he was. He was the one who disappeared for a while, saying he was going to the God's Domain, and then left Alvin, Liana and others in Karsus City, which resulted in Liana being raided. The legendary magician Jessica captured by the demons!
"Teacher Jessica!"
"Very good!"
"You are finally here!!"
Seeing his teacher, Hain was the first to greet him and saluted excitedly.
"Archmage!"
"Arch Mage, are you here?"
Then, Keith and Scott also came forward and greeted Jessica who came forward with smiles and respect.
"Ms. Jessica..."
Shirley also followed the crowd to greet them.
After such a long period of time, and after understanding the causes and consequences of certain things, Shirley gradually no longer held the same prejudice against the archmage who represented the goddess of light in front of her as before.
Because she already knows that the legendary archmage Jessica in front of her is indeed for the good of Karsus, and she does sincerely want to help their Kingdom of Karsus resist the Rekart Empire. If not for the other party, as long as I'm afraid that Karsus won't even be able to save its last capital now.
As for the holy sword and wand, the other party is even more to blame.
After all, Shirley herself didn't expect that among them, there was that hateful guy Anne, who quietly dropped the wand and took the holy sword away, causing them great harm. She and the empire worked in vain over this, and even got into a fight. Thinking about it now, she didn't know how she should feel.
If she hadn't happened to meet Matthew holding the holy sword and Almeda holding the wand here, I'm afraid they would still be kept in the dark until now, right?
Of course, that kind of thing has no meaning now, because whether it is the holy sword as a replica or the original 'Evil-Destroying Sword' Alhasato, it has been proven that the power they represent has also The so-called ultimate weapon, the Blue Moon, has no meaning at all to the power represented by this floating island!
"I feel relieved to see that everyone is okay."
"Originally, I should have come earlier, but something happened in the middle..."
Looking at everyone present, Jessica showed a rare smile.
However, thinking about how she and the goddess attacked the little girl together, but ended up suffering a disastrous failure, and now thinking about how she sneaked in with others, Jessica couldn't help but feel a little uneasy.
But, she came after all, because there were some things she had to do, even at the risk of being discovered and captured by the people here!
"Something happened?"
"What is it?"
Shirley asked curiously.
"No……"
"nothing!"
Shaking her head, Jessica did not intend to say more, because she wished that no one would mention that matter, so that she could stay here peacefully until the end?
"correct!"
"How was your game going?"
"Have you advanced?"
Then, maybe to change the topic, maybe because she really cared about these young people working hard for world peace, so Jessica asked expectantly.
"this.….."
"Ahem..."
Hearing this, Keith and Scott, the commanders of the Karsus Kingdom's flying corps, turned their heads away in shame and embarrassment.
Because both of them were eliminated on the first day. Let alone advance, the two of them combined could not fight their opponents for ten rounds. Therefore, there is really nothing to say about them. I don’t even want to mention that matter.
"Teacher Jessica..."
"I……"
"I was eliminated on the first day. Among us, Shirley was the best performer. She won several games, but she was also eliminated yesterday."
Hain spoke with some frustration and shame.
These glorious legions from Karsus have been completely wiped out. Therefore, the future of this world seems to have nothing to do with them. They have no way to interfere or change anything.
"Feel sorry!"
"Ms. Jessica, I tried my best, but..."
"There are so many strong guys in the competition that I really can't help it."
Shirley added with a wry smile.
Although she had participated in special training and paid a lot for it, the disparity in strength still made her lose the game with regret, and she was convinced that she lost and had nothing to say.
"Is that so?"
"thanks everyone……"
"but!"
"We still have a chance!"
“Before I got here, we actually had another guy who competed and made the cut!”
With that said, Jessica turned around, then looked in the direction of the door, stretched out her hand to make some movement and cast a spell.
Then, what shocked everyone was:
As Jessica cast the spell, everyone soon saw that behind the great magician Jessica, there was actually a short man with black hair, who looked about ten years old, with tender cheeks, but with a A little girl that Jessica looks very much like?
"!!"
"so cute……"
"Ms. Jessica, is she your daughter?"
When everyone was still a little surprised and confused, Shirley spoke, and while looking at Jessica's face, she pointed at the little girl and asked.
"No……"
"I have nothing to do with Jessica. I just borrowed her reincarnated body."
"I am……"
"Light of Birth, you can also call me by another name - Lucilis!"
Surprisingly, without waiting for Jessica to speak, the little girl, in a tender but somewhat hollow tone, said that sentence that everyone except Jessica was watching. People almost stared out of their eyes and dropped their jaws in shock at the shocking words.
