Distorted World: Rise Of The Black One - Volume 2 Chapter 76 32
After the Victor was declared the teacher took down the reality bubble undoing all the damage
Emile kneeled in desperate defeat, her eyes were wide opened like a corpse her expression was that of a person at world’s end
“Ai: should we say something?”
Airi asked her brother
“As: what’s left to say?”
Asher tilted his head
“As: they agreed to uphold their end of the creed we made”
“Ai: yeah I know, but…shouldn’t we at least…I don’t know…tell her it was a good game or something?”
“As: that only applies when you actually have respect for your opponent”
Asher explained casually
This gave everyone present shivers
True Asher didn’t even saw this as a challenge, he would have won no matter what because he made it a statistical impossibility for Emile to win, and even if he lost he would have still won in the long run due to the contingencies he put in place
“As: people like her, the people who live their lives with the constraints of ideals and predetermined norms will never be able to gain true success”
Emile heard everything…
“As: mages are people who are always subject to innovative thinking, if she thinks her blood is what makes her special than my advice is “quit now””
“As: what makes a mage special isn’t lineage, talent or race…what separates a mage from the rest of the world is how his or her minds operates”
Asher leaves Emile and the rest with that explanation
The class was dead silent
“Au: Asher-Chan’s incredible”
After a while Elise approached Emile:
“E: I told you”
She said
“Em: shut up!”
“E:…”
“Em: you won okay? Isn’t that all that matters?”
“E: yes, and you know what the best part is?”
“Em: what!?”
“E: we won despite the fact that you cheated”
“Em:!!”
“E: despite going to battle your troops were not heavily armored”
“Em:…”
“E: that can only mean…you used it didn’t you?”
“Em:…”
“E: you used the artificial aura generators to increased their magicol absorption rate to benefit from the use of exercitu auxilium, that’s how you were able to build a castle so fast and cast infernus cmento so easily after such a task”
“Em: you saw right through it?”
“E: me and Asher deduced it that’s why we created such a convoluted battle strategy to avoid a frontal battle with you as much as possible”
“Em:…”
“E: well I’m not one for mocking defeated opponents so I’ll leave you with one final advice: learn to coexist with others, you really don’t know when they might defeat you like this”
Elise said walking away
That evening the coalition celebrated their victory in the club room
Not only did they defeated their opponent but since the inter-team battle is considered a test, there will be less work for the winning teams next week
That night…
“E: so how does it feel?”
Elise was sitting in front of the mirror comb-ing her hair asking Asher who’s laying face down on his bed
“As: terrible…”
“E: oh come on, you should be used to this by now”
Elise said sighing
“As: as I’ve said many times before… I HATE PARTIES”
“E: whatever have it your way”
Elise said putting on her pajamas
Asher rolled upwards
“E: Let’s go to sleep”
Elise said turning off the lights
“As: good ni…”
Before Asher could finish sentence his “auto sleep switch” was turned
“E:…”
Elise stood there as if pondering something
(E: I have an idea)
