"Hey, Louise of Zero is going to duel with Bei Ye the Wild!"
The news spread throughout the academy almost in the blink of an eye. After all, it was breakfast time, so naturally, it was the most crowded time. It was only natural that such news would spread. In fact, when Louise and Bei Ye arrived at the location of the duel, the area was already filled with people.
"There are so many people here."
Looking at the dense crowd around her, Louise was also quite surprised. Just then, the woman with the hot figure from before came over.
"Of course, everyone is very curious about your tamed monster. After all, a summoned tamed monster is actually a human. This is unprecedented. To be honest, if we hadn't seen it with our own eyes yesterday, we wouldn't have believed it either. "
"Hmph! He's just a stupid idiot. "
Hearing the woman's words, Louise showed a displeased expression. Because everything happened so suddenly, she did not think much about it. Now that she thought about it, it was indeed so. Although Bei Ye's words sounded very angry, if she was not the person involved and heard someone summon a human tamed monster in a Tamed Monster Summoning class, she would also think something like "What kind of joke is this?"
"But is the child really okay?"
"I didn't expect you to care about my tamed monster."
Louise looked at the woman with the hot figure in surprise. One must know that her relationship with her was not considered good in class. The Valliere family and the woman's family could be said to have been entangled with each other for generations. Although the two sides had not yet reached that point, they had always disliked each other.
"Of course. Don't you know what Bei Ye summoned …?"
"Come out, my tamed monster, Barf!"
Before the woman could finish her words, Bei Ye let out a loud cry. Then, the flames suddenly erupted, and a lion-like monster with bat wings walked out of the flames. Its tail was raised high like a scorpion's, and there were even sharp thorns on it. The whole thing looked very fierce. Seeing the appearance of this monster, the surrounding onlookers also exclaimed.
Seeing this scene, Louise's expression suddenly changed.
"This, this is a Manticore?!"
"Yes, this was summoned by Bei Ye. If it weren't for you, he would have been the focus of everyone's attention yesterday."
"Woo …"
Hearing this, Louise angrily clenched the magic wand in her hand. Although she had never seen a Manticore before, she had read about it in the books. Being able to summon a Manticore and sign a contract with it was indeed something to be proud of. If she could summon a Manticore, she would definitely be very proud of it.
Unfortunately, the Chimera was a magical beast after all. As long as it was a magical beast, it was not unusual for it to appear in the summoning ceremony.
Humans, on the other hand, were completely different.
"Let's go! SABER！”
But even so, Louise had no intention of giving up. She gripped her magic wand tightly and walked in. The red ponytail followed beside Louise and looked at the manticore in front of them with boredom.
"Aiya, you still dare to appear, Louise of Zero."
Seeing Louise walk out, Bei Ye also began to mock her.
"It's still not too late. As long as you admit that you cheated, I can still let you go. Otherwise, I can't guarantee the safety of the little girl beside you when we fight later."
"Woo …"
"Yeah, Louise, do you have the heart to let such a young child face a Manticore?"
"Bei Ye, you've gone too far."
At this moment, the others also spoke up, trying to persuade both sides to take a step back. Although the Chimera that Bei Ye summoned was only a juvenile, the red ponytail made it look even more petite. Moreover, when the two of them were placed side by side, it looked exactly like the plot of a young girl who was about to be eaten by a magical beast in a heroic story.
Everyone could imagine the scene of a petite girl being pounced on by a magical beast and being torn apart. No one wanted to see such a scene.
"I've decided. I didn't cheat. I believe that my Tamed Monster will not lose to you!"
At first, Louise was still a little hesitant, but after hearing Bei Ye's sarcastic words, she immediately made a decision. Are you kidding me? Yesterday's summoning spell was the most successful spell she had ever cast, and this guy actually said that she cheated?!
Unforgivable! Absolutely unforgivable! My Tamed Monster was summoned in a dignified manner, so I will definitely win!
Thinking of this, Louise glanced at the red ponytail.
"Saber, I'll leave it to you."
"No problem."
The red ponytail nodded, then walked forward. Seeing this, the crowd around them became even noisier. On the contrary, Bei Ye was a little embarrassed. He originally thought that Louise must have cheated, so he confidently challenged them. In Bei Ye's opinion, as long as he summoned the Manticore, they would definitely tremble in fear and surrender voluntarily.
But … the plot was different from what he thought!
What should he do now?
Not fight? If he didn't fight, his family's honor and reputation would be ruined!
But … fight?
So what if he won? Bullying a little girl with a Manticore? If this got out, he would also be humiliated!
What if he lost?
It would be even worse if he lost!
Only now did Bei Ye realize that he was in a dilemma …
In the end, Bei Ye made a decision!
Fight!
Even if he lost face if he won, it also meant that Louise of Zero had indeed cheated! If he retreated here, he didn't know what would happen to him!
"Go, my Barf! Let them have a taste of your strength! "
"Roar —!!"
Following Bei Ye's order, the Manticore suddenly roared, then pounced on the red ponytail. Seeing this scene, many people screamed. Many girls even subconsciously covered their eyes and turned their heads, unable to bear to see what would happen next.
Even Louise trembled in fear when the Manticore pounced on her. After all, the Manticore was a very powerful magical beast. Even if it was only a young one, the pressure it brought was still very strong.
But even so, Louise did not turn her head. Instead, she clenched her hands and stared at the petite figure in front of her.
The Manticore was very fast. In the blink of an eye, it rushed in front of the red ponytail, roaring and opening its mouth. At this time, the red ponytail still did not move.
Could it be that he was scared stiff?
Just as the crowd was thinking about this, they saw the red ponytail raise her fist at the Manticore.
Then … …
Boom!!
Accompanied by a low explosion, the dust mixed with the impact of the wind whistled past, causing everyone to involuntarily narrow their eyes. However, when the dust dissipated, the scene in front of them shocked everyone.
The scene of the girl being pounced on by the Manticore did not happen. On the contrary, the Manticore's head had been smashed into a big pit, and the red ponytail was still standing there, clapping her hands.
"A mere magical beast dares to bare its fangs and brandish its claws in front of me? It seems that you're really tired of living."
As the red ponytail spoke, the Manticore's body began to emit light, then turned into light spots and disappeared into the air.
"Barf! Barf —!! "
Seeing this scene, Bei Ye almost shouted in grief, while the red ponytail snorted softly.
"Don't worry, I didn't kill it. It was just too injured, so it went back to its nest to recuperate."
"How could …"
Hearing the words of the red ponytail, Bei Ye's knees gave way and he knelt on the ground. At this time, the others began to speak in surprise.
"Hey, did you see that?"
"I saw it … That child actually smashed the Manticore's head into the ground with just one punch!"
"Even a stone puppet doesn't have that much strength! Is she really a human? "
"No, didn't you say that she's a familiar summoned by Louise of Zero?"
"Ah, that makes sense. She's definitely not a human, right?"
"But she doesn't look like an elf either …"
At this moment, no one doubted whether the red ponytail was a familiar anymore. After all, to be able to smash a running Manticore into the ground with her bare hands and seriously injure it with one blow, this kind of strength was obviously not something an ordinary human could achieve. Especially considering the red ponytail's small and exquisite appearance, this added to the contrast.
"Okay, Master, things are settled. Let's go."
The red ponytail clapped her hands and walked back to Louise's side. Louise was stunned for a moment, then nodded vigorously.
"Okay, let's go!"
After saying this, Louise raised her magic wand again and pointed it at Bei Ye.
"Remember, this is your punishment for insulting the reputation of the Erival family! There won't be a next time! "
After saying this, Louise turned around happily and left with the red ponytail, leaving Bei Ye sitting on the spot in a daze. Looking at this scene, the others did not know what to say.
For many people, the scene in the morning was just an unexpected interlude. Soon, they returned to their daily, stable lives. In the face of the red ponytail showing off her strength, Louise was obviously quite proud. Not only that, but she also began to work hard, trying to show off what the owner of the red ponytail should do.
However …
"Boom!!!"
"I see. That's why you're called Louise of Zero. I understand now."
Looking at the alchemy device that exploded again in front of her, and the still black-faced and tattered Louise, the red ponytail nodded. She did not watch the full animation before, but now she finally understood why Louise had such a nickname.
From the first class of the day until now, when she returned to her bedroom to do her homework, Louise had exploded a total of 35 times, with zero successes.
No wonder she was called Louise of Zero.
"… Hmph, laugh if you want to."
Hearing the red ponytail's words, Louise's face couldn't get any darker — it was already blackened.
"No … There's nothing funny about this, but why? Master, have you always failed to release magic? Have you ever tried to find the reason? "
"Of course I've tried!"
Hearing the red ponytail's question, Louise shouted as if she was venting her anger.
"I've been working hard! I thought it was because I didn't recite the incantations well enough, or there was a problem with my magic manipulation, so I've been working hard to learn! But no matter how I learn, no matter what kind of magic I cast, I always fail! I've never succeeded! "
"Hmm …"
Hearing this, the red ponytail nodded.
"No matter what kind of magic you cast, you'll fail?"
"Yes, whether it's wind, water, fire, earth, or alchemy, I've never succeeded. I can't even use ordinary door sealing magic! No matter what kind of magic it is, for me, there's only failure, failure, and failure! "
"Then there's only one conclusion."
The red ponytail raised a finger. Hearing the red ponytail's words, Louise also raised her head to look at her.
"It means that none of these spells are suitable for you. You still haven't found the magic that suits you."
"Huh?"
Hearing this, Louise raised her eyebrows unhappily.
"Did you not hear what I said? I've tried all the spells! "
"Yes, but you still haven't found the right one, right? That means the magic that suits you isn't among these, and the spells you've learned aren't all of them."
"This …"
"Think about it from another perspective. Even if you're really stupid, if you cast a spell a hundred times, a thousand times, ten thousand times, you'll succeed at least once, but you've failed every time. In a way, this is also a great talent. "
"What? Are you mocking me?"
Hearing this, Louise glared at the red ponytail unhappily, while the red ponytail giggled.
"Of course not, I mean … Master, your talent must be very rare."
"Why do you say that?"
"It's simple, because when you cast magic, it explodes, right?"
"Yeah …"
"But it's not that you don't have magic power, because people without magic power can't cast any magic."
"That's true, but if there really is such a magic system, I don't know either!"
"I don't know either, but fortunately, after a day of observation, I've almost understood the nature of your magic, Master. It just so happens that I have a corresponding learning method … Master, do you want to try it?"
"Really?!"
Hearing this, Louise's eyes lit up, and she hurriedly rushed to the red ponytail's side.
"What method is it? SABER？”
"Hmph …"
Hearing Louise's question, the red ponytail chuckled and looked at Louise with a proud expression.
"Do you know about psionic energy? MASTER？”
"Psionic … energy?"
"That's right. In my world, there's a profession called the Templar. They manipulate psionic energy to fight. Master, the nature of your power is very similar to psionic energy. Maybe you can try it?"
