For some reason, today's weather was particularly gloomy.
The sun didn't show its face at all, and the sky was always gray. Even the air seemed dull, as if a storm was coming, and the temperature seemed to have risen a little.
Under such circumstances, in the Walpurgis Royal College of Mechanics, a piece of news spread early in the morning.
"I heard that Multiple Roars lost last night?"
"That seems to be the case."
"All the automatons were seriously injured, and they almost couldn't fight anymore because of mana overdraft, but the opponent didn't take away her gloves, but kept forcing her to stand up."
"Isn't that too much?"
Early in the morning, this kind of news spread throughout the entire academy.
"The opponent is ranked 87th, right?"
"I didn't expect the 87th to be so strong."
"I thought Multiple Roars wouldn't be able to beat her in the 50th place."
"I didn't expect there to be such a powerful person among the lower ranks."
"The most important thing is that the opponent is so beautiful, but she didn't hold back at all."
"Fortunately, she didn't attack the automatons, otherwise she would've been disqualified."
"But why didn't the opponent take away Multiple Roars' gloves?"
"How would I know?"
"I was there at the time, but even I don't know why she didn't take away Multiple Roars' gloves. All I know is that the opponent seemed to enjoy the process of forcing Multiple Roars to stand up, and there was a happy smile on her face."
"Woah …"
"Fortunately, I didn't participate in the night party …"
The students were having such discussions, making the entire academy very lively early in the morning.
Listening to such discussions, Rozen's face has been calm while walking to the Medical Department's dormitory, and his eyes have been fluctuating with cold light. Yaya, who was next to him, followed him obediently, but there was a trace of unavoidable worry on her face.
Rozen took Yaya to the medical department's building and came to the infirmary.
As soon as he arrived, Rozen saw an acquaintance he hadn't seen for a long time.
"Loki …"
It was Frey's younger brother, Loki.
After not seeing him for a while, Loki was still as cold as ever. He carried the Automaton Angel beside him, and his whole body exuded an atmosphere that made people not dare to approach casually.
Anyone with a discerning eye could see that Loki was in a very bad mood.
That was only natural.
"Are you also here to see Frey?"
Rozen asked Loki.
In this regard, Loki did not give any answer. He was still in a very bad mood, staring in the direction of the infirmary. There was no expression on his face, but his hands were clenched tightly.
Although it couldn't be seen from the surface, Loki must be very concerned about Frey, right?
No matter what, she was his only biological sister. It was impossible for her not to be in a bad mood when such a thing suddenly happened.
Therefore, Rozen did not care about Loki's disregard and continued to ask.
"How is Frey?"
In response to Rozen's question, Loki was silent for a while before answering.
"… The Night Meeting forbids direct attacks on the Puppeteers, so she wasn't injured. Only the dogs were seriously injured, and they aren't in good condition."
Loki answered indifferently.
"Frey's situation is just that she overused her magic and accidentally activated" that thing "."
The so-called "that thing" should be referring to Frey's heart, right?
Because of the overuse of magic, Frey's heart must be in a state of restlessness, and in the end, it was activated and forced to draw out the magic. This was not impossible.
"Didn't I say? Just let her give up and wait for me to win! "
Loki was speechless.
"With her strength, it's impossible for her to win in the Night Meeting. If that's the case, she should just hide behind others and enjoy the fruits of their labor. Why can't she understand …!?"
Loki's voice revealed a restlessness and anxiety that had never been there before. Even though his words were extremely hurtful and merciless, he believed that anyone could tell what his true feelings were.
Rozen had a rough idea of what was going on.
Presumably, Frey was sent to the infirmary just like on the first night because the switch on her heart was turned on, right?
However, Rozen did not hear that Frey had an extremely shocking burst of magic like on the first night in the Night Meeting last night.
Therefore, Frey should have been prepared and tried her best to suppress the operation of her heart when it was activated. This caused a problem with the operation of her heart, and in the end, she collapsed and was sent to the infirmary.
And this situation …
"I'm afraid that the 87th person deliberately guided it?"
Rozen's low murmur made Loki react.
"What do you mean?"
Loki then looked at Rozen and stared at him.
Meeting Loki's gaze, Rozen said expressionlessly.
"Didn't you hear how the people in the academy described the battle last night?"
All the automatons were severely injured, and Frey was almost unable to fight due to the overdraft of her magic. However, the opponent did not take away her glove, and instead kept forcing her to stand up.
This was how the people in the academy described the battle last night.
What did this mean?
It meant that the 87th person did not take away Frey's glove on purpose, and kept provoking her so that she could stand up and continue fighting.
With this, Rozen had to make such a guess.
"He already knew that there was something wrong with Frey. Even if he didn't know what the problem was, he could tell from Frey's battle with Veron on the first night that there was something about Frey that could forcefully draw out a large amount of mana, but she had to pay a price and endure pain."
Rozen explained calmly.
"The opponent kept forcing Frey to stand up and continue fighting to force Frey to use this method, right?"
What was the purpose of doing this?
"To … enjoy?"
Rozen exhaled slowly, and his voice sounded slowly.
"It seems that after Bronson, another scumbag has appeared."
That was Rozen's most real feeling now.
"87th …"
Rocky's eyes flickered, but his face did not change. He spat out the ranking, and his tone was full of suppressed anger.
"What is the 87th person's background?"
Rozen asked Loki again.
Loki didn't hide it and said with a gloomy face.
"I don't have so much time to pay attention to that kind of person, I only know her login code, Acceleration Fairy."
Acceleration Fairy.
This was the worst kind of abuser.
Then …
"Her name is Alice Bernstein, and she seems to be famous in the academy."
The name Loki said made Rozen's eyes suddenly narrowed, and Ye Ye covered her mouth.
"Alice Bernstein …"
Rozen just heard that name last night.
And he met her face to face.
"I see, is this the gift you prepared?"
Rozen said to himself.
There wasn't even a hint of a smile in his eyes.
That could only mean one thing.
That was …
"Congratulations, you succeeded in angering me."
That was it.
