Chapter 22 The Battle for the Bid
"Mr. Donner, let me tell you to move back to my old seat after tomorrow. ”
"Humph!" Lena flicked her arm and took two quick steps, "Who do you think wants to sit at the same table with you?" ”
"Oh. ”
"So, if you go to class and sleep in the future, no one will care about you anymore. She looked back at Carl with a smile in her gaze that seemed to be inquiring.
But a woman's smile is often not as simple as it seems.
"Yes. Carl replied.
She was really unhappy again, "It seems to be exactly what you want." ”
"Hey, hey. He gripped his ears and smiled very shyly.
"Who cares about you? After that, she walked away quickly, but he didn't even chase her, and she said angrily in her heart: What an idiot!
Since the seats were separated, there was no reason for the two to talk.
Lena would casually look back at Carl sitting in the corner every time she was in class, and he was always asleep. Sometimes, she would stare at each other, and other times, she would hurriedly turn her gaze to the blackboard.
An insurmountable barrier has emerged between the two of them, which prevents their relationship from going any further. They are strangers, but sometimes they know each other.
Lena finds herself getting caught up in a game of gambling with herself, and she enjoys it.
She often deliberately ignores Carl, even if the two of them have to go to some class group activities together, she ignores Carl as if she were angry.
Although she was so desperate to talk to Carl, only if he spoke to her first. But sometimes even when Carl spoke first, she was so indifferent that she didn't even bother to look at him more. Because she felt that this was very relieving, and her long-term depression was vented. This made her feel that she was the core person who took the initiative in the development of the relationship between the two.
The deeper she sinks, the more bizarre her behavior becomes, and she often loses her temper for no apparent reason.
She only takes the initiative to talk to Carl when she loses her temper, criticizing him and reprimanding him in the name of the squad leader, in order to get the so-called satisfaction in her heart.
As everyone knows, this is just a lonely game with only her own participation after all.
But Lena isn't the only beneficiary of this game, so is Fat Jerry. He loves nothing more than to see Lena scold Carl, and the more Lena hates Carl, the happier he becomes.
But does Lena really hate Carl again?
As the days passed, the semester was coming to an end, and the relationship between the two of them became more and more difficult.
But now, there's no time to take care of it, and everyone is preparing for the upcoming end-of-term exams.
The final exam at Willy's Goblin Academy of Magic is extraordinary, it is not a simple exam, but a mock exercise. This mock battle has a popular name among the students, called the Winning Battle.
Survival and competition are the only purposes of the bid war. Before the battle begins, each student will receive two magic items equipped by the school, the Plate of Eternity and the Iron Branch.
Disk of Eternity: A defensive artifact that automatically takes effect when the owner is subjected to a violent magical attack, forming a golden protective shield next to the wearer when triggered, blocking most magical attacks for 2.5 seconds. (The main function is to prevent the enemy's sneak attack)
Iron Branch: A special magic item that, when used, instantly transforms into a towering tree on the ground, which is identical to a normal tree, but can only exist for 20 seconds. (Each Iron Branch can only be used once)
The students who participated in the bidding competition were free to form teams, ranging from three to five people. At the beginning of the competition, the team will be disrupted and each student will be sent to a different location in the wild forest. Their mission is to find their teammates within three days, while capturing the Iron Tree from enemy members in the process.
If the Eternal Passive Defense is triggered, the student is considered eliminated. If, after three days, the Iron Trunk is taken away, it is also considered a mission failure.
Qualified candidates must have at least one Iron Branch, and the more Iron Branches they capture, the better the grade. Depending on the number of Iron Branches they have, teams and individuals will be rewarded accordingly. Those who fail the task will be repeated the following year.
Because the elimination mechanism is very cruel, every student attaches great importance to this time. Correspondingly, they naturally want to team up with powerful companions, and no one wants to team up with that guy who only sleeps every day and doesn't want to make progress.
But there are always exceptions.
"I'd like to team up with you!" Ginzaka's sudden words stunned everyone.
Jinzaka is very strong, how can he team up with that kind of person? And the two of them have already had contradictions! Yes, what did he think?
Every student's heart was full of doubts.
Jinzaka's idea is actually very simple, with Karl's strength, he should be eliminated at the beginning of the championship game, which will save him a lot of trouble, at least he will not be held back by his teammates. And with his own strength, as long as he doesn't take care of his teammates in the melee, he should be more comfortable.
So he hopes that there are two best pieces of waste like Carl, so that he can directly assemble a three-person squad.
But right now, at least one more person needs to come to his team to get to the city, and the others are reluctant to join because of Karl's existence. This situation gave Kinzaka some headaches, and it seemed that Karl was even more annoying than he thought.
Karl seemed indifferent to the situation at hand.
"Hey, stand up. Jin Zaka said angrily: "You go find someone to form a team, if there is no way to form a three-person team, we will not be qualified to participate in the bidding battle!"
"Oh. Karl got up from his seat, looked around, and said in his heart: Let me find someone, how is this possible? He couldn't help but want to laugh himself.
But while Carl was looking around blankly, there was a person who was secretly observing him, and that was Lena, the squad leader.
Originally, she wouldn't have teamed up with Carl anyway, because she wasn't going to forgive him. But now things have changed again, as she received a love letter this morning.
Although the sentences in the love letter didn't make sense at all, and the rhetoric was unskillful, wasn't that the best that fool could do?
"Stupid, what a big idiot!" As soon as she found the love letter this morning, she couldn't help but read it several times in a row, and couldn't help but scold the stupid several times in a row, but she had never been so happy in her heart.
Then, she carefully folded the letter and kept it close to her. It's really embarrassing for a guy who is not good at expressing himself to do this.
When she saw Carl standing up and looking around, she was angry and funny that this guy was still pretending.
So she collected her emotions and strode over to Carl, but she didn't look at him the whole time.
"Jinzaka-san, can I join your team?" she seemed to be unfazed, but her heart was surging, wait, I want to make you jealous, gulp and be jealous!
