"I can't miss any day without missing today... Isn't Mr. Su here for the same reason?"
He sat next to Su, his eyes revealing genuine doubts, as if he was wondering where the uncle in front of him had the confidence to say this to himself.
You're cheating every day and I'm cheating every day, and we're all the same, so why bother hurting each other?
Su, who was classified into a strange group, sat upright, shook his head and denied, "It is true that I will not be absent from today's exam, but I think the reason why I am not absent is probably different from what you think."
"oh?"
Dean looked like he wanted to hear more.
"...Don't worry, you will know after the exam is over."
Su curled her lips, and after making an appetizing slur, she said with a meaningful expression, "I believe that will be an unexpected surprise."
Dean looked at the intriguing expression on his face, squinted his eyes, and didn't ask any more questions. He just withdrew his gaze and cast his gaze to the center of the venue.
He used his actions to show his disdain for this little trick.
Looking at Cosi walking slowly into the arena, Dean rubbed his fingers and sneered secretly in his heart.
As for the "surprise" Su said, if he said that he was not curious at all, that would definitely be a lie. But it is a pity that after this exam is over, the other party will most likely be in no mood and continue to implement this plan.
Feeling Su's eyes slowly moving away, he stared at Kesi with a dangerous look.
This glance had a strong sense of presence. Cosi and Alpha, who were slowly approaching, almost sensed the gazes from their father and Dean at the same time.
It was as if there were two sharp daggers pressed against the back of his heart.
They immediately seemed to realize something, silently straightening their backs and looking at each other with expressions full of fighting spirit.
It wasn't until those two powerful eyes moved away that the two of them relaxed slightly. Looking at the reaction of the person opposite them who was very similar to themselves, they clicked their tongues in disgust.
The audience, who did not know the inside story, saw their reactions and thought it was a provocation from the chiefs of both sides to their opponents, and immediately made a sound of booing. In this almost boiling atmosphere, the two stood at the entrance of their respective colleges. On the field, the prepared posture was made.
The knight's sword and the assassin's dagger faced each other far away, like totems that were intertwined and then cruelly torn apart, showing an almost sharp sense of hostility.
Although no one spoke, there was a suffocating solemnity in the atmosphere.
The restless silence is like the endless darkness bred under the quiet and deep sea, waiting for an opportunity to vent.
Until the moment the whistle sounded, everything that had been suppressed and restrained burst out in an instant.
The assassin and the knight stepped forward at the same time, one forward and the other backward.
The small body of the Shadow Doll was forcefully inserted between the two of them, breaking the atmosphere of two-legged opposition.
Drawing lessons from past mistakes, Andal, who watched Yaya being suppressed throughout the whole process yesterday, has long been mentally prepared for how to deal with Alpha.
So as soon as it saw the opponent enter the stealth state, it immediately stood in front of Kesi, like an old hen protecting its chicks, adopting a protective posture.
There was a flash of silver light, and Alpha's dagger was caught in the balloon that suddenly appeared. He retreated subconsciously, using his flexible body to flip around in the air, and narrowly avoided the balloon's explosion attack.
"Wow, that's disgusting..."
Looking at the black liquid splashing on the ground, Alpha opened the corner of his clothes with his backhand, discarded the part stained by the liquid, and stepped on it.
As the shoes were crushed, a weak blue flame grew from weak to strong, igniting under Alpha's feet.
Almost at the moment when this blue light lit up, Andal felt the loss of his power.
The shadow energy transformed by the balloon quickly disappeared under the burning of the unknown blue flame, leaving no trace behind.
It's so tricky...
The Shadow Doll, whose facial features were distorted, looked at the assassin who launched another attack, and sighed, feeling a sense of frustration that his strength was useless.
Andal, who was accustomed to using his talents and skills to quickly end battles, showed great resistance and discomfort to the tug-of-war.
If only Kana was here.
If it were, there might be a way.
Andal silently raised his paws, preparing to defend, but at that moment, a strange energy suddenly emerged from inside his body.
Then, as if it was dominated by instinct, it suddenly changed its moves and swung at Alpha.
The sharp claw tip drew a silver light in the air, as if it had split something. After a short silence, a black curtain suddenly appeared in the center of the venue, as if it had been split in half by a sharp weapon and chopped. Became two halves.
In that broken place, Alpha's eyes widened in shock. Before he could remedy the situation, he felt a weak sense of rejection coming from all around, which became the last straw that broke the camel's back.
"...here?"
Looking at the confused Alpha who was forced out of stealth, Andal seemed to have just come to his senses. He retracted his claws in surprise and covered the lower half of his face.
So strong!
He actually forced that Alpha out of the shadows.
It held up its right paw in admiration, which had accomplished such a feat, and spent a second to express its high respect to its sister Kana, who did not know where she was.
It's really amazing.
Andal, who was only on the surface, didn't know how big a ripple he had just made in the hearts of everyone in the VIP room.
Especially the six people in the chair who really knew what was going on, their eyes changed.
If the remaining sanity hadn't suppressed them, these people would have been unable to control their facial expressions.
Source suppression?
They would never have imagined that they would see this phenomenon in the students' joint examination.
That is the basis for the formation of laws, and the stepping stone that countless professionals dream of. Who would have thought that it would appear in such an environment?
In the past, the teachers at the Knight Academy would have gone crazy with joy when they saw this scene.
...But it happened to appear on the demon pet.
Looking at the confused Andal in the venue below, several vice-presidents felt a sick feeling in their hearts, as if they had eaten a fly at a feast.
It would be better not to have this meal in the first place.
He won't be in such a bad mood anymore.
Especially thinking of Dean's reaction, the six of them exchanged glances, and even considered the possibility of following Dean and Su's example and leaving early.
