Chapter 207 – Trash Academy

Lakeside, Campsite, Resonance Crystal Pillar.

It was already the sixth day of the competition, there were only around 10 teams left. As such, it was getting much more intense, the spectating teacher’s emotions was like a roller coaster. They would cheer when their own teams rose, but then soon after their teams would get plundered and eliminated, their mood drops to the minimum and almost gave them heart attacks.

As for Loran Academy’s Woos and Momm, they were even more anxious.

Although Lin Xiao did indeed have some skill, and was able to finish off Water Academy on the second day and Cato Academy on the fourth day. They now had more than 200 points and secured the number one spot.

However, Woos felt more panicked the more advantageous position they are in.

The higher the expectation, the larger the disappointment… if everything went out the gutters and they lost their first place, Woos would die of anger.

So the first thing he did on the morning of the sixth day was to run over to the resonance crystal pillar to confirm the situation. He was able to calm down after seeing their team was still in first.

“Just the last day left, there shouldn’t be any problems, right?” Woos muttered while stroking his beard.

Now the only team left that could threaten Loran Academy was just Heino Academy. Even if the other teams were able to catch up in points, but they were not capable enough to turn the tides.

The strength of that sixth level warrior, Devoru from Heino Academy was comparable to that of Caesar, although they were in first right now, Charles more than likely had something up his sleeves.

“Eh? The second place team changed?”

While he was contemplating, Woos noticed something strange.

What should have been Heino Academy in second place, changed to Bamboo Academy, a small rural academy in Lombard Kingdom, Woos has only heard of their name.

What’s going on?

Woos widened his eyes and carefully investigated the magic power movements within the crystal to make sure, and was even more puzzled.

“Strange, how can such a small academy jump to second place, they were originally at the bottom, it was already lucky enough that they weren’t eliminated, but… could it be?” Woos had a bad premonition.

He carefully looked over the changes in the crystal to see what had happened last night.

“T-this…”

Woos supported his waist with his right hand and his unsteady appearance looked like he could fall over anytime. Heino Academy had disappeared, and the reason was because…

Haha, how is this possible?

Woos wanted to laugh and celebrate their team’s early victory. But thinking about it again, his expression stiffened.

Something wasn’t right.

“They all say that you sleep less as you age, Woos, why are you up so early today?” A familiar female voice came from behind him.

Even if he didn’t turn, he knew that it was the head judge Jennifer.

There wasn’t a lot of people surrounding the crystal, when Jennifer saw the unsteady Woos, she thought it was funny and went to tease him.

This old man is really something, but Loran Academy will never beat Heino Academy. Charles will finish them off in the end and take all their points. Jennifer thought smugly while walking up to him.

“How about it, is your team still in first? Un, you should take a good look, since that place doesn’t come easily. Although your points will still get plundered in the end, but it’s not bad to be in first for now.” She covered her mouth and gently laughed in an odd ridiculing manner.

“Hmm…” Woos frowned but didn’t respond.

“Woos, don’t worry, your attitude is the most important, even if you guys get eliminated, there’s still next time, right?” Jennifer stood next to him and even bent down and spoke next to his ears, as if he was going deaf.

“Un…”

Woos did hear, he helplessly turned and glanced at Jennifer. He didn’t say a word and just sighed.

His behavior confused her.

Strange, why wasn’t he saying anything toady? Usually he would protest and they would start arguing. But today he was calm and even sighed like he was pitying her.

Did something happen?

Jennifer thought it was her attire and lowered her head to investigate, after being sure there was nothing out of place, she started complaining.

“Woos, I say…”

“Jennifer, did you not get any news last night?” Woos suddenly interrupted her.

“News, what news?”

“Sigh, strange, although I’m happy that you guys got eliminated, the situation is bizarre…” Woos stroked his beard and didn’t respond, instead pointing to the crystal, telling her to take a look.

“Woos, you’re confused, how could our team get eliminated? Devoru is a sixth level warrior, who could take his crystal, and there’s also Prince Charles… wait, eh? … What’s going on?”

Jennifer was still casually muttering, but when she saw the changes in the crystal her complexion abruptly changed and her appearance stiffened.

“H-how is that possible?” Jennifer pointed at the crystal.

Heino Academy’s resonance completely disappeared, which meant that their crystal was already plundered by another team!

What shocked her even more was that the team that plundered them wasn’t Loran Academy, but a small Academy that she’s never even heard of!

“Impossible! Why? What kind of trash is Bamboo Academy? How could they defeat us?” Jennifer exploded.

Even in her dreams she would never have thought that Heino Academy would get plundered by some small fry team, it might have been possible by Loran Academy, but by these… no! Impossible!

“Jennifer, calm down. This happened yesterday night… did Heino Academy’s teachers not receive any reports?”

“Right, why did no one report it!? We… ah! I know, don’t tell me Prince Charles was right… damn!”

Heino Academy’s teachers were all called onto the island ahead of time, so how could they receive any information? Now that their points were plundered, that probably meant that Prince Charles was in trouble!

“Hey, what did you just say?” Woos couldn’t understand what she was muttering about.

“Ah? N-nothing… I still have something to do, so I’m leaving!” Jennifer awkwardly smiled and quickly left.

“Hey! Hey!”

Woos shouted a couple of time, but she didn’t look back. She quickly left the camp and even called a large group of people.

Woos didn’t feel settled and remembered something.

The teachers from Heino Academy hasn’t been seen for more than two days, it’s said that they got a signal and headed to the island so they weren’t at camp. That might be why they didn’t get any information when Heino Academy’s points were plundered, and only realized the severity of the problem the next morning.

The questions was, what did those teachers go to do?

“Yaaawn… Woos, what is Jennifer going to do?” Momm who finally woke up, yawned while lazily greeting Woos.

“Probably to save them.”

“Hah? What, did that cute prince lose? No way.”

“Yes, Heino Academy was eliminated.”

“…” Momm’s smile stiffened, he rubbed his bald head and looked at Woos, “Hey, a-are you serious? Who eliminated them, us?”

“No it was Bamboo Academy.”

“Hah? That tiny rural academy? How could they beat them?”

“I don’t know…” Woos shook his head and fell into thought.

Actually, what was more surprising wasn’t Heino Academy getting beat. What he cared about more was Jennifer’s reaction.

“It’s like something’s about to happen…”

…

…

Despair Island

“Phew… is that the forest right ahead? We’re finally here! Ahhhh, I’m so tired… Caesar, I cant walk anymore! Let’s take a break!” At the edge of the strange forest, the pink-haired lady rubbed her sore legs while complaining.

It’s good that they had a map and weren’t worried about getting lost. It was the sixth day and they had ample time to search for the location so they weren’t in a rush.

At Rosie’s intense demand, everyone took a short break.

In order to protect Elena, Rosie held her arms the entire way, stuck together like sisters. Of course, Elena resisted, but her master wasn’t here and no one could help her. But a maid couldn’t dissuade her, so she let her do whatever she wanted.

Elena couldn’t deal with her at all, she had no idea what she wanted. Ever since Lin Xiao left, she kept sticking to her and was really annoying.

Rosie felt the complete opposite of her. When Lin Xiao was here, she didn’t have much opportunity to talk to Elena, but now that it was just the three of them, she finally had a chance to get a better understanding of this beautiful maid.

Rosie couldn’t let go of this break, so she dragged Elena to sit and started chatting.

“Elena, you really are beautiful!” Rosie grinned while staring at Elena, and had eyes like that of a perverted old man, making Elena agitated.

“Get away from me.” Elena frowned and covered her chest with her arms, guarding against something.

This girl harbored malicious thoughts!
