On this grass not far from the tree house, the chessboard-like "magic projection arena" that Irena used to control the hand of a mage to move in has been placed on the smooth stone they used to play or have picnics. Then the intern witch Irena who was about to advance the assessment and the Stardust witch Fran who was responsible for the assessment have stood on both sides and placed their hands on the "chessboard" and closed their eyes to project into the magic props like the ancient Roman Colosseum.

And under the shade of the tree covered with magic-renovated green lawns and flowers, someone standing was excited and waiting to see the two of them making a fool of themselves and a big bone-shaped stand floating on the side.

Of course, there is definitely an unlucky plush toy bear whose neck was strangled by Anne and hung it around her skirt!

(…)

(￣?￣”)

"Hello!!"

☆?(o*?ω?)?

"Big Bones, you said...who will win later?"

?(?ˉ??ˉ?)

Anne had almost forgotten the name of the great lich in front of her who was summoned by her half a year ago. She just vaguely remembered that it was called Keshide. Anyway, that kind of small thing was not important, so she directly called the other party's nickname impolitely and asked pretty.

"Your Mightiness……"

"If it's just about magic and combat experience, there is no doubt that Stardust Witch Fran is better. After all, Irena is still too young."

"but……"

"Sometimes victory does not depend on the level of magic power or whether it is rich in experience. As long as you have the determination, even a magic apprentice with low magic power can use the simplest ice cone technique to kill a great wizard. This is just like a ghoul may kill a powerful paladin?"

"but……"

“Those don’t matter.”

Speaking of this, Kelthuzad stopped and looked carefully at a little girl who was biting her finger and not sure what she was thinking about.

"I just thought about it for a while and thought that the key to the outcome of this game is not the two of them, but the great Lord..."

"I guess you must have made some decision, wanting Irena to win, let her become a formal witch earlier, and then go on her adventure around the world earlier, so as to add some fun to you, right?"

Kelthuzad boldly guessed that the soul fire in the eyes on the skull's head was slightly flashing, and he was waiting for the reaction of a little girl with trepidation.

“Eh?”

(???.???)??????

"I don't think so! I just thought about it, so I asked Fran to beat Irena hard and let her continue to be a maid for her for a while!"

ヾ(^▽^*)))

"But..."

(′???`)

After thinking about it, Annie suddenly felt that it seemed that Irena would be able to get the status of a formal witch and become a teacher a year later, and then go on the other party's trip around the world earlier. It seemed quite fun.

"What you said seems to be correct!"

?(⊙?⊙)?

"It's been a year, and I'm really a bit boring recently. So let Yirena win! However, she won't cheat for her. The guy from Sister Fran doesn't seem to admit defeat on purpose. If you can be sure she will definitely win?"

(?￣??￣??)??°

Of course Annie knew the meaning of the big bone-shaped lich in front of her, but even though she was thinking about letting Irena start her mission, she would definitely not openly help.

“Um…”

"Your magic projection device is very magical, I have to think about it first..."

The magic props made by Anne himself are not so easy to deal with, especially when the two of the duels cannot be noticed? So, even if they get some obscure prompts, Kel Thuzad needs to think carefully... to see what to do to help Irena in the arena in the next battle between the two sides.

(…)

ε=(′?●))) Alas

(Tibers secretly murmured to a witch with a plump, moderately fat, and tender and smooth witch, because the two unscrupulous guys had already set a list of winners in just a few words, so the next effort of the big witch was destined to be futile.)

At this time, when the little Annie "outside" was waiting to watch the game, and when a big bone frame was thinking about how to use it at the critical moment, Irena and Fran in the Magic Projection Arena had no idea what was happening outside, and just held magic wands and stood up in a quiet confrontation.

"Oh~!"

"Time flies so fast. In a blink of an eye, a year has passed. Irena, you are fifteen years old... You are about to challenge the formal witch assessment just after you turn 15. Do you think this is a bit too fast?"

"Or dear Nana~?"

"You might as well admit defeat. I won't beat you up today. What do you think of this suggestion?"

In the arena, the witch Fran, who could not hear what the two guys outside said, was currently carrying out a final verbal attack on Irena.

She wanted to suppress the opponent's sharpness verbally first, so as to achieve the goal of psychologically attacking and oppressing the enemy, and then gaining a psychological advantage in the attack later and directly bombarding the opponent on the spot in one go!

“…”

“Quality on the contrary!”

"Teacher Fran! I am a genius and I feel it's too slow!"

"If I hadn't completed the studies assigned by Teacher Kel Thujad, I should have tried to challenge you half a year ago!"

"Also, I've heard of it... You have been beaten so badly by the bear recently, and you have been eaten a hundred times in total, right?"

"So, I decided: I'll just let you die a little more comfortable later, and I won't torture you slowly like that bad bear!"

Irena rudes the assistant who had never taught her anything without any politeness, and as soon as she opened her mouth, she uncovered the scar that the other party could not even beat a teddy bear and was eaten hundreds of times in different ways.

Of course, at this time, Irena had subconsciously ignored the fact that she seemed to be unable to beat the bear.

“!!”

"You hateful little girl!"

For a moment, Fran was very embarrassed and upset because what the other party just said was indeed the truth!

However……

She knew that Irena was eaten by the shadow bear quite a few times!

Last month, the other party secretly looked for the bear to compete. I thought it would be used to refer to the gap between her and Fran? But in the end, the other party was caught by the bear with one claw, then bit it along the butt, and half of his body was eaten. He dragged his intestines and crawled on the ground with a miserable crying for a long time. He couldn't stand it anymore and begged, and the bad bear, the bad bear, was swallowed by the bad bear, and ended the duel.

However, Fran would not take it out and expose and scold each other like two shrews. It would not help today's competition. Instead, it would only anger the other party and may make the other party perform extremely well, which would be very detrimental to her!

So, she is ready to change her strategy.

"Hey! Irena~?"

"No matter what, we have been together for so long, and I have always treated you like a sister. If you can pass today's assessment, I will definitely be very pleased. Maybe... I will also give you a graduation gift?"

"Just hope, don't care that I'm too harsh on you during this period?"

Stardust witch Fran pretended to be sincere and said to Irena, who was holding the wand tightly in front of her.

"ah?"

"Fu, Mr. Furan?"

The other party suddenly changed his mind, which caught Yirena off guard. However, she hurriedly curled her emotions just now and said seriously:

"Please don't say that!"

“This period…”

"Although the days of practicing with all the teachers are sometimes hard, I also live a very fulfilling and happy life..."

"you……"

However, what caught Irena even more unexpected was that before she could finish her words and be grateful to the other party, she only found that the smiling teacher Fran in front suddenly raised the magic wand in her hand, and then, with sharp, continuous magic missiles suddenly flashed and rushed towards her with a blast?

“!!”

“Hey?!”

Before she could think too much, Irena quickly put a magic wand, and then an invisible magic barrier appeared in front of the magic wand, wrapping her body tightly in the spherical barrier shield.

???

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!

Immediately afterwards, there were bursts of violent shaking vibrations, and the extremely fast and continuous magic missiles continued to bombard her shield, making her unable to grit her teeth and persevere and retreat step by step.

The opponent's offensive was very fierce. For a moment, she didn't even have the chance to withdraw her shield and use other magic to evade or counterattack.

"Hey~!"

"Dear Irena, I will teach you the last class today, that is: When you face an enemy that will definitely defeat you, don't talk nonsense to her!"

"Because, when you talk to her, she thinks in her mind..."

"But it is always just what to do to kill you directly with the best and fastest way!"

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh~!

While explaining with a cold smile, regardless of whether Irena heard it, the tip of the magic wand on the stardust witch Fran's hand emitted a stronger blue light, and then the magic missile, which was like an arcane barrage, suddenly increased a little, looking like a Gatling machine cannon, and continued to bombard the girl who was struggling to support the shield!

In an instant, the opponent was completely submerged in the ocean of bursting magic energy, and the ground in the arena was shattered, and countless dust and gravel began to fly all over the sky.

"Well……"
To be continued...
