âI admit defeat.â
The students went wide-eyed looking at Wu Yan & co.
A mere newcomer, commanding 5 automata, defeated Magnus in a duel.
Hardly anyone believed at first. Even as the rumors spread, believers were scarce except for the ones who had seen it firsthand.
Although Magnus used his automata, none of them used their Magic Circuits.
Meanwhile, Wu Yan used the âMagic Circuitsâ from 2 of his 5 dolls. The duel could hardly be called a fair one.
If they both fought for real then it would be hard to say who would win for sure.
Magnus also had a long history of excellence backing him up so many students didnât believe it when they said he lost to a newcomer.
It only gave Wu Yan a slight boost in fame.
Now, with his prowess in full view, he showed that using one automaton is enough to take down most enemies.
Astreaâs powerful Magic circuit also left a deep impression on the students.
From this, they could see that Wu Yan had the power to rival Magnus if not outright surpassing Magnus.
He is, without a doubt, someone who should be in the Rounds (top 13 ranker).
Nobody can doubt him after seeing what he could do with just one doll.
âAs expectedâŠâ
Charlotte huffed while crossing her arms.
âAstreaâs speed is staggering, shockingly soâŠâ
Astrea had outrageous mobility and agility.
Indeed, among her Angeloid peers, she boasted the higher mobility and acceleration. Only Hinagiku could rival her speed.
Ignoring special moves like Natsukiâs teleportation, she is among the fastest in Wu Yanâs entourage.
Charlotte praised Astrea for achieving astounding speed without relying on Magic Circuit.
âWho made her? Such craftsmanship, itâs unheard ofâŠâ
Charlotte wanted to head there but someoneâs footsteps interrupted her.
Clap clap clap
As the students backed off, someone emerged from the crowd.
âThe two newcomers are truly fantastic, your reputation precedes youâŠâ
A guy in uniform approached them.
He had blond hair and a clear voice. He is your typical handsome guy.
The students murmured when they identified him.
The ladies especially couldnât hold back their ecstatic hoots and shrieks. It appears this man is popular with the ladies.
Despite his amicable mien, the trio sized him up differently.
Raishin analyzed him.
Charlotte is wary of him.
Wu Yan narrowed his eyes while grinning.
âNice to meet youâŠâ
The man bowed once.
âMr. Wu Yan, Mr. Akabane (raishin), may I have some of your time?â
The blond guy is without his automaton.
Wu Yan and Raishin looked at army green armband on his left arm.
It had the word âCensorâ emblazoned on it.
He appears to be from the Disciplinary Committee.
He also had a black glove with golden threads designating a number on it.
A Rounds Member and someone who is strong enough to join the Night Party.
To hold a disciplinary position, one must first possess enough power to keep rowdy students in check.
It seems like this guy is no ordinary Party participant.
âYou want to borrow our time?â
Raishin looked at the handsome guy.
âRank 4, Felix Kingsfort, a Rounds Member, and the chairman of the disciplinary Committee, what does someone like you want with the second last ranking student?â
âSame hereâŠâ
Wu Yan shrugged.
âI am the last ranker by the way.â
No matter how charming the persona Felix put on, Raishin and Wu Yan arenât buying his nice guy gesture.
His fans obviously didnât take kindly to this. They glared daggers into both of them.
These ladies needed to know not to judge a book by its cover and how people donât act proactively unless they have something to gain.
âDonât say thatâŠâ
Felix praised them.
âAlthough you two donât have ranks, I could see you two are capable fighters in your own rightsâŠâ
âI lost 2 out of 2 of my duels.â
Raishin scoffed.
âI donât see why you would say that.â
Raishin had enough, he wanted to leave with Yaya.
âWait, Mr AkabaneâŠâ
Felix beamed at him.
âI am here to offer you a chance to join the Night Party, Surely, I have your attention now, donât I?â
Raishin stopped.
Meanwhile, Wu Yan took this cue to leave.
âWaitâŠâ
âNot joining!â
Felix was stopped by Wu Yan abruptly.
âDonât bother me with your little games.â
Wu Yan led his ladies away from the place as the students gave way.
âT-That idiot.â
She took a look at Wu Yan who left calmly as Felix looked on in slight frustration. She stomped a few times before leaving the crowd furtively.
Natsuki spoke up while they were on the way to the lecture hall.
âThat man, be careful of himâŠâ
âOh?â
Wu Yan raised an eyebrow in amusement.
âWhat? Did you sense something?â
âMore like, you know something, donât you?â
Natsuki gave him a look.
âI didnât watch the memories you have of this universe. However, that fellow gave off a bad vibe. I am just warning you to be careful.â
âRelaxâŠâ
Wu Yan chuckled.
âI donât mind frying a rat or two when they come snapping at meâŠâ
