Chapter 85 We Object

She had cut off ties from the organization for a while to concentrate fully on cultivating her babies to the purest point of maturity, it was on a special note had she been invited back to supervise with a great reward on the side.

She could feel the students watching her, and she knew that all of them were wondering why she was so calm.

They all were wondering what she was up to. Soon they all began discussing it among themselves in hushed whispers and side comments.

Turning her attention to the students, glancing over the crowd. "Let's begin!" She said in a loud voice.

Her grip tightened on the letter she had in her hand and hidden behind her. She had forced a smile as she contemplated what 'The fun is yet to begin' meant.

The complications and secrecy that went on in the organization forced her to take a break, knowing quitting was never an option. She left for a while under the guise of cultivating her creations.

The students all stood up and waited for her instructions.

The sparring hall was completely silent. Everyone was waiting to see what she was going to do. They all were wondering if she was going to call out their names or tell them to break into pairs.

Then she announced their names, one by one, the students stepped forward and bowed their heads.

All their attention shifted to Lumina who had her head lowered as well, a smirk evidently present.

Miss Lotus could clearly see the side glances each and every one of the students gave at Lumina the moment her name was called.

'Could she be the one to bring the fun?' She took a glance at her in curiosity.

This was something she hated about Zhao, he was always so secretive and cunning, she couldn't help but feel he had just sent her the letter in order to hype the competition, as her interest was nearly impossible to please.

Once they were all standing, she told them, "I am going to call out the names of the pairs, starting with identifying the team leaders of each department, both lower and higher rank students."

"Step forward." She called out.

The respective team leaders stepped forward and bowed their heads.

A gasp could be heard throughout the hall. The upper rank team leader of the magic users was surprised at who had represented the gift users, and his expression was that of disbelief and somewhat fear.

The other lower rank team leaders were visibly shocked at why Lumina had joined the sparring session as the gift users team leader.

She was dressed in a black pleated mini skirt, a blue zippy top that went well with the black, pulled just a bit downwards, to accommodate her voluptuous bosom which showed off her cleavage and curvaceous figure. Along with fingerless black gloves and knee high boots. Her long red hair was pulled back into a messy bun for the occasion.

"What the heck is going on?" Ayanami was the first to speak confidently. "Mr Doliu, are you in support of this?"

Mr Doliu sweat dropped at the question directed to him. This was a question he needed to answer with caution.

Knowing the plans the organization had for Lumina, it was best to handle this issue with care.

Shooting a glare at Ayanami, she cut in before the teacher could reply, "I'm a little tired of you, you know. If you're going to just lie around and mope all day about me participating, I'll be forced to make you spar with me. You know how much I love a good fight." She gave an eyeshut smile, hinting on the very fact of their last brawl.

It took sheer willpower not to go over to the crowd, single out Ayanami and continue where their last fight had ended.

Gulping, Ayanami looked down at the floor silently, wondering if Lumina was going to call her out, she was in no position to challenge her strength at the moment.

If she couldn't appeal to her remaining suspended, it was best to keep a low profile.

"Lumina, you know the rules, are you trying to go against the management?" Mr Doliu scolded.

Lumina simply rolled her eyes, she had her focus more on trying to prove how strong she could be in this, hoping wherever Nix was, he was watching her.

Ever since he had left the previous night, she had been thinking about what had made him drastically change in the space of her going into the bathroom.

At the sight of Lank, she had approached him in regard to Nix. He simply chose not to answer outrightly, but instead gave a vague message that he would be watching.

Miss Lotus smiled, she was starting to see what sort of fulfillment the letter had promised her, this lady was definitely someone fun to watch, her interest had been raised just a bit with her attitude.

"Does anyone else have an objection?" She asked. The crowd remained silent for a while.

p "I do." A female student with a long dark braid said as she stepped and bowed her head.

"I object to you being chosen." She said, "you are not supposed to participate in the sparring session. A suspension by the authorities was for the best."

"How can we be sure that you will not kill one of us?" She asked. "What assurance do we have on your self control?" She finished.

She had been at the last sparring session the previous year and had witnessed Lumina's rampage, this had left a scarring impression on most high ranking magic and gift users.

The entire room fell silent, and the crowd seemed to be looking for an answer.

Miss lotus let out a silent chuckle, she was not sure if this was a trick or not, she wondered why Lumina's name was written if she wasn't allowed to participate.

'What sick thoughts was going on in your head Zhao, to let a loose cannon into this competition?' Her brows twitched in frustration.

"Miss Han?" Miss lotus looked over at Lumina, "is this true?" She inquired.
