While Arcana was clashing with the cyber-psycho JK.
The battle between Nova and the red-dressed girl, Luo Lin, was also continuing.
After clashing for some time, Luo Lin was surprised to discover that her opponent actually had a tendency to suppress her!
But the mecha the opponent was using was clearly just an intra-planetary defense unit, a defense force mecha codenamed’Sid’, which was even intended for ordinary people!
How could such a mecha withstand her attacks?
Although she was only a Lv2 intermediate witch, combined with the Level 3 Magic Rune Enhancement magic she had mastered, and the master-grade precision katana replicated from reality in her hand, her close-quarters combat power was enough to rival a Lv1 difficult witch!
Yet now, she couldn’t even cut through a single intra-planetary defense mecha used by ordinary people!
Why?
Why is this?
Luo Lin was confused, but she continued to look for opportunities to attack and suppress.
Furthermore, excluding the opponent’s strangely strong mecha, the pilot’s strength also exceeded her imagination.
During the battle, she also remembered something.
It was not the case that every ordinary person in real-life simulation battles was confined to the Silver rank.
Some exceptionally gifted ordinary people could break through themselves through constant combat training, raising themselves to Gold or even Diamond rank in real-life simulation battles.
And such an example existed within the Imperial Witch Academy on her Capital Planet!
But the person she was thinking of didn’t specialize in mechas!
Could it be that another genius like that had appeared somewhere in the Empire?
At this moment, Nova suddenly seized the opening when Luo Lin was distracted, and the mecha’s magnetic dagger pierced through instantly!
Luo Lin, who hurriedly blocked, was given a chilling electric treatment by the magnetic energy carried by the dagger the moment her katana made contact with it.
Under the support of her Magic Rune Enhancement magic, this magnetic electric treatment, which would have instantly reduced an ordinary person to ashes, did not take her life.
But Nova’s subsequent attacks were even more fierce and sharp, and the speed became faster and faster.
Luo Lin found it increasingly difficult to hold on.
She desperately used her dual blades to block and deflect the force; she didn’t want to die!
She didn’t want to die, nor did she want to lose!
No matter what, she would absolutely not admit defeat; even if she knew she couldn’t beat her opponent now, she had to continue fighting!
This was her struggle!
As long as she could still struggle, as long as she could still continue fighting, there was still a chance!
“Wen Yan!
Come help me!”
“Wen Yan!
Did you hear me!”
“Wen Yan!
Come save me!
Save me, where are you?!”
Luo Lin was no fool; this was a 2v2 battle, and 2-on-1 was a common occurrence!
Since she was struggling to parry, she would call her teammate to fight together!
However, the teammate she had been calling for a long time never responded.
Just as Luo Lin was anxious and ready to scold her pig-like teammate.
Suddenly, a gunshot rang out!
A golden rainbow pierced directly through Luo Lin’s chest.
The next second, the large hand of the mecha operated by Nova grabbed Luo Lin’s head directly.
With a squelch!
The mecha’s large hand squeezed in and crushed it!
The corpse fell powerlessly to the ground.
Then…
the duel ended, and the combination of Nova and Arcana won this ranked placement match.
Nova looked at Arcana, who was walking slowly towards her, with a somewhat dazed expression.
It’s over?
Sister Arcana, while she was fighting, not only eliminated the other opponent but also came to support her at the end?
Nova cast her gaze to the distant battlefield, where the cyber-psycho girl, who had been firing at full power, now had her body scattered into a pile of mechanical parts on the ground.
Her head was split into two halves, looking as if she had been directly torn apart.
“Sorry, Sister Arcana.”
“Hmm?”
Arcana smiled and said: “What’s wrong?
Why are you apologizing?”
Nova controlled the mecha to kneel on one knee in front of Arcana: “As a knight, not only did I fail to quickly eliminate my opponent, but I also let you…”
“Alright, little sister Nova.”
Arcana shook her head helplessly: “Who told you that to be a Saintess, one must be high and mighty, constantly protected by others?”
“Umm…”
“At least in my opinion, if a Saintess can’t tear apart a Demon King with her bare hands, she doesn’t count as a Saintess.”
Nova was greatly shocked, staring blankly at Arcana, and then lowered her head, lost in thought.
She didn’t know what she was thinking about.
At this moment, Arcana received a message from her mother; it was almost time to prepare for lunch.
So Arcana said: “Sorry, I have to log off.”
Nova looked up, her expression confused.
“It’s time for lunch, my mother is already calling me, and you should also prepare for lunch.”
Arcana waved at Nova: “If you still want to play ranked in the afternoon, you can send me a message.”
“See you in the afternoon~”
Arcana and Elf Elysia logged off together.
Nova stood dazed on the spot for a while, and also received a lunch message from her mother.
She could only log off while holding deep confusion.
After logging off, Nova, who woke up in her room, turned back into that petite, soft Little Witch who looked like a doll in reality.
She held her favorite knight doll and walked slowly to the kitchen door.
“Mom…”
She called out softly.
Nova Terra’s mother turned around from the stove and showed a gentle smile to her daughter: “You’re up?”
“Wait a little longer, lunch will be ready soon.”
“Today, Mom made your favorite cumin pork slices, and apple chicken curry over rice.”
“Mom.”
Nova lowered her head: “Sister Arcana said that someone who can tear apart a Demon King with their bare hands can be a Saintess.”
Her mother was stunned, and her movements also paused for a moment.
“Ah…
this…
this…”
Her smile was a bit awkward.
“So…
Mom, Sister Arcana can already tear apart a Demon King, so what can a knight do?”
Her mother was overcome with mixed emotions.
Her daughter was willing to communicate with her!
This was the first time this month!
But she was busy preparing lunch, and she couldn’t stop her movements.
Her daughter was asking strange questions again, which left her unable to attend to both at once.
“Um…
honey, wait a moment, wait a moment, Mom is cooking, let me explain to you after I finish cooking, okay?”
Nova lowered her head, said nothing, and just turned and left silently.
Her mother felt bitter inside, and also felt some regret; if only she had known, she wouldn’t have sent the message to her daughter so early!
If she had finished cooking before sending the message, how could she be so flustered now!
At this moment, a faint burnt smell wafted over; it turned out that the apple chicken curry being simmered had dried out, causing the pot to burn.
Her mother could only let out a faint cry of distress while quickly trying to save the remaining curry.
Meanwhile, in a dormitory on the other side, Arcana, who was also waiting for her mother to finish the last steps of lunch, was chatting with Elysia about Nova’s performance in the Virtual Arena just now.
“I feel…
Nova doesn’t really seem like she has social anxiety.”
Arcana recalled her recent interaction with Nova: “In my Remembrance, social anxiety is characterized by fear of communicating with people, or not wanting to communicate with people.”
“Even on the internet, contact with social-related content is very minimal.”
“So, rather than social anxiety, it’s more like she’s simply afraid of strangers.”
“After she became powerful in the virtual world, she was obviously much more confident, calling me both Saintess and Sister.”
“And her virtual avatar is also tall, full-figured, with a confident and bright smile, and she can even say things that are incredibly embarrassing.”
“It feels like she is roleplaying as a knight figure in the network that she admires, loves, and wants to become.”
After saying a lot, Arcana looked at Elysia, who was browsing her smart brain on the side, seemingly searching for something.
“Elysia, what do you think?”
“Hmm?
Me?”
Elysia smiled slightly and turned the smart brain’s screen towards Arcana: “Arcana, your combat posture is very popular; it’s only been uploaded for a few minutes, and it already has 200,000 views.”
“Eh?!”
Arcana looked closely!
The entire process of her battle with that cyber-psycho girl just now had been recorded by Elysia and uploaded to the internet!
Now, the video had garnered 200,000 views and 3,000 comments in just a few minutes!
“And, the other party isn’t just an ordinary witch!”
Elysia pulled up a few comments below the video, and Arcana looked at them, raising her eyebrows.
[Pipi Huan Gugu Gu]: I remember this cyber-psycho!
She is a reserve member of the Imperial Royal Family’s 3rd Team in the Imperial Witch Academy’s Imperial Arena competition on the Capital Planet!
It is said that she has a chance to be promoted to an official member of the 3rd Team this year!
[Lazy Yonglan]: The big shot is awesome!
Actually beating up a reserve member of the Imperial Royal Family’s 3rd Team!
She didn’t even touch the corner of her clothes; her combat posture was so beautiful!
[Cassia Lis]: The big shot isn’t wearing a badge, could it be an ordinary person beating up a witch?
Then this reserve member is too weak, replace her quickly.
Arcana looked at the comments and sighed.
“Elysia, don’t upload videos like this in the future; I’m afraid of being found in real life.”
“The other party is a reserve member of the Imperial Royal Family’s 3rd Team; if someone with some background comes looking for me, it will be very difficult for me to handle.”
Elysia tilted her head: “But Arcana, your identity is clearly not ordinary either~”
Elysia began to count the differences in Arcana’s identity.
A descendant of the Star Family, a first-class Imperial witch family.
The granddaughter of the current Star Family head’s favorite daughter.
And the Imperial Royal Family that stands behind the Star Family, constantly supporting them.
Arcana tilted her head: “Elysia, where did you learn all this?”
“Of course, on the internet!”
Elysia smiled slightly and gently poked Arcana’s soft little cheek with her index finger; it felt so good~
“You are now a young lady of a family that others can’t afford to climb high to reach~”
“So, you need to have some confidence in yourself!”
It might not seem tempting right now but who knows what the future holds?
“And If you’re enjoying it, drop a Power Stone for me!”
