Chapter 86 Strongest Sage, Sees Through the Pretense

--Two days after the interpersonal match's date was decided .

The princ.i.p.al, Iris and I went to the arena along with the representatives who had been selected from applicants .

I was planning to replace our rep with Iris if our opponents look to be dangerous . . .

"Iris . "

"Yes!"

"Looks like there's no need for Iris to come forth . "

I've sensed mana reactions from what seemingly be the First Academy partic.i.p.ants with 【Pa.s.sive Detection】 and there is no demon among them .

They probably have no reason to disguise themselves as a human and partic.i.p.ate in this .

"I understand!"

The princ.i.p.al looked obviously relieved when he heard her .

I understand how he feels .

"Looks like you're not running away!"

Feycas came while we were talking .

"Yea . We don't really need to run away . . . Aren't you quite stressed about losing to Second Academy yourself . It shows on your head . "

I pointed at Feyca's head .

It appears the 【Hair Root Extinction】 has worked its magic as Feycas's head glitters under the sun .

Feycas's face turned red to hear me .

"This isn't because of balding! I shaved it! Lowlifes like you don't understand this fas.h.i.+on!"

" . . . Hmph . "

I snorted at Feycas's obvious pretense .

There's no point in lying . I'm the one who made you bald after all .

"Don't laugh! --Enough about my hair! Have you lowlifes prepared your representatives! Ours are already on standby!"

Feycas pointed at a crowd of First Academy students behind him .

152 students in total .

" . . . It seems you've prepared quite a lot of them . "

"Hmph . I told them that we didn't need this many against the like of Second Academy, but there were many who applied . I brought all of them except the disgraceful dunces . And what about yours--"

"Don't worry, we've brought them with us . Look, they're over there . "

The princ.i.p.al showed our reps behind .

Our reps consist of one Disqualified Crest, two Common Magic Crests, and two Small Magic Crests .

The reason why there isn't a single Glory Crest is more because we severely lacked Glory Crest for the work so we couldn't even secure one for this match, not because it's unsuited for battles .

To begin with, we wouldn't need to seek First Academy's cooperation if we had enough Glory Crest .

" . . . Five people? Are you telling me Second Academy will only let five people to fight?"

Feycas exclaimed like he couldn't believe it when he saw the number of our reps .

Un . I know how you feel .

I also can't really accept this number .

Five was decided after the princ.i.p.al negotiated with me .

"Yeah, five is too weird huh . This is the princ.i.p.al's will . It had to be this many, he wouldn't concede no matter what . "

"No matter how you look at it, letting only two students to fight like Mathias proposed isn't happening . Excluding the Glory Crest is sufficient enough, let being five slide . "

"It does suffice, but they'd better off doing other training than this match where the result has been set in stone anyway . It's a waste of time . "

If it's 2 against 150 match, there's a chance it might serve as a training for fighting against a group of people, no matter how weak the opponents are .

However, a fight between five of the current Second Academy students against 150 First Academy students is nothing more than bullying the weak .

"How far are you going to make fun of--no . Enough of this! Start this match already! We'll see the result ourselves!"

" . . . Right . Let's start this . "

We can talk again once the match is over .

--After a bit .

Students of both schools are facing each others in the center of the arena .

The First Academy students look like they're quite relaxed and negligent .

The severe ones were already talking about where to hold their victory celebrations .

The Second Academy students opposite of them aren't being careless even though their expressions look relaxed .

They've already decided and reserved where to hold their victory celebration, they have no need to discuss that anymore .

"Both sides, be silent!"

And then the male referee raises his voice .

"Match, start!"
