125 Chapter 125 : Bins Plan (1/2)
”Ok, listen…”
Bin motioned for her to come closer then whispered a long chain of words into her ear. After he finished talking, Elise tilted her head and questioned,
”Will it really work? It seems obvious.”
Her brother, still grinning, retorted.
”It should be obvious. Going at it in a timid way will only lead to a bad ending. They're rich and arrogant who consider themselves the best so when a strange meddles in, they'll want to prove themselves, naturally.”
Elise instinctively nodded her head and followed what he said, her black pupils looking at the group of students 'sparring' together.
The exchange between the students was proceeding smoothly with the third years always emerging victorious, nevertheless, some of the second-years were quite talented. For example, Jasmine was good at using her magic but she wasn't a 'genius'. She cast a small fireball which was easily deflected by an older female student, who raised a wall of earth.
Bin noticed that the magic they're using takes time to unleash and isn't deadly but it could still inflict serious damage, especially the fireballs and the invisible and fast wind blades, which are the hardest to master.
As instructed by her brother, slowly but surely, the masked girl walked closer to the students but her arrival was unnoticed by the busy students. Only when she got a bit too close did they start glancing at her, even Joseph swept a look at her and furrowed his brows but since the teacher didn't say anything, he maintained silence.
Julia also saw the incoming Elise but she wasn't angry, just curious and confused about the stranger's actions. Elise's master, Rika, did see her new servant approach, which wasn't something she ordered but she reacted like the rest, eyeing the masked female with confusion.
At some point, one of the better third years named Rolo was faced with Cara, who wasn't as good as her friends. The spar quickly began and the short-haired girl conjured a weak water ball which splashed against the smirking Rolo and did nothing at all. Elise, who was very close to the two, chuckled as she eyed Rolo, who felt proud.
Her laugh, which sounded very mocking, caught the attention of everyone, including Julia, who laid back and watched from the sidelines.
Cara was busy amassing her Mana and trying to attack again so she didn't care about Elise but Rolo wasn't pleased as his moment of triumph was ruined since all the eyes were fixated on the masked girl. He signaled for Cara to stop before saying
”Excuse me, this is a training ground meant for students.”
He did feel a bit angry but he spoke politely but his eyes contained a bit of hostility. He didn't if Elise's ridicule was meant for him or Cara but the girl was staring back at him, which only meant that she was making fun of him… for doing nothing, apparently. It was a kind of stupid tactic, almost childish but it did the job and allowed Elise to steal the spotlight.
”…”
Hearing no answer from the girl, who crossed her arms and stood there like a statue, Rolo turned toward the one in charge, Julia.
The female teacher fixed her glasses and said
”Who might you be?”
”Just a servant.” Perfunctorily replied Elise.
”This is a training ground, no one but the students are allowed here.”
”Oh, I didn't know. I was interested in these 'spars' but it appears they're very… disappointing.” Elise let out a sigh as she turned around, seemingly about to leave.
Julia didn't speak but Rolo couldn't hold himself.
