Episode 252 After Party (3)
The next day.
Bikir attended the awards ceremony where the rankings for the first match were announced.
It was a huge event that the first graders of Colosseo Academy surpassed the second and third graders of other schools and entered the top 30 of the rankings.
And among them, six such as Vikir Sinclair, Hive, Middle, Low, and Grenouille were listed in the top 10 of the rankings.
Now, as long as the top 10 players complete the individual tasks for the 2nd round, which are given to each individual, they will receive a rare artifact from the treasure house jointly managed by the four schools.
‘Talking Spear’, ‘Time Stop Hourglass’, ‘Money-Eating Hat’, ‘Love Shield’, ‘Sane Bead’, ‘Eye Arrow’, etc… These are the treasures of this century that cannot be obtained even with a thousand gold. Inside the warehouse, each is asleep waiting for its owner.
The 10 rankers who have completed the tasks assigned to them can go into the treasure house and select artifacts, and they must also be selected from the artifacts.
‘But before that, there’s a quest that needs to be taken care of.’
Bikir thought about the future as he walked to the awards ceremony stage.
Meanwhile, cheers erupted from below when Bikir, ranked 7th, appeared.
“Kyaaak- It’s Bikir-nim!”
“Brother! Please take a look here!”
“i love you!”
It was a cheer from the side of Themiscyra Women’s College.
Even when Lovegood, who was ranked second in the rankings this time and the student body president of Themiscyra, came out, there was no cheer like this.
……But Lovegood did not express any regrets towards the students of Themiscyra.
because.
“Oh, Mr. Bikir. To see you so close… I must be a saint.”
It was because she herself called herself a ‘successful virtue’.
Lovegood dared to sit next to Bikir and laugh, even right under the stage at the awards ceremony.
Soon the professors’ congratulatory speeches will be over and then the students will have to go up on stage for the awards ceremony.
While everyone was strangely excited, Lovegood opened his mouth to Bikir.
“Cham Vikir. Yesterday, Vikir’s fan club was created.”
“?”
“The fan club name is ‘Le’.
“??”
“Because… Bikir-sama’s sexiness is on the verge of going past ‘do’ and hitting ‘me’!”
“???”
Bikir was a little taken aback by the young woman’s boldness.
However, Lovegood looks at Bikir with eyes full of love as if he is going to die just because he is so cute.
Maybe it was because her original eyes were heart-shaped, so it looked even more like that.
Then a clamor came from behind. The female students of Themiscyra began to boo.
“Oooh- get rid of the president’s exclusive system!”
“Condemn the dictator!”
“Share Bikir!”
“If you’re the president, you shouldn’t have to prioritize the public interest over self-interest!”
“Care for the age, you lady!”
“Impeach! Impeach!”
Then, Lovegood looked back at the supporters(?) with an arrogance and spoke in a mouthful.
‘Shut up, you bitches. Let’s have some dating too. Don’t you feel sorry for your sister?’
“Uuuuuuuu! Are you the only one who can’t date! It’s hard because we’re in a women’s college too! If this is the case, go coed!”
Lovegood’s non-explanation was like adding fuel to the fire.
Finally, Lovegood sighed and said to Bikir,
“Um…… Bikir-nim. Would you like to have a date after this college league? Colosseo and Themiscura.”
Gwating is selecting applicants for each department of the university and letting them meet men and women, but it was not a field of interest to Bikir in the first place.
……but. It must have been a topic of considerable interest to everyone except Vikir.
“Bikir’s right hand is me!”
Tudor was the first to raise his hand.
“Then the left arm is me!”
And Sancho too.
“The left leg is mine!”
Piggy also raised his hand.
After that, other male students also rushed around Bikir.
“Bikir’s right leg is me!”
“Then Bikir’s left eye is mine!”
“I have the right eye!”
“I want the left ear!”
“Do you have Tio in your right ear?”
“I am the heart of Bikir!”
“I’m up!”
“I’m lungs!”
“I’m going to do the spine!”
“I am Bikir’s ship!”
“I have breasts!”
“waist!”
“Then I’m an ass!”
“I can’t say which part I’m in charge of, but it’s the most important part that everyone can agree on!”
Bikir was disintegrating and shattering in real time.
at that time.
“Stop it. After the professors’ congratulatory speeches, it’s the awards ceremony soon. We have to go on stage, so we won’t make any more fuss.”
Dolores appears and pulls the crowd back.
As the students of Colosseo withdrew, so did the students of Themiscyra.
together?
Chiri-
Lovegood was sending Dolores a restraining gaze for some reason.
When Dolores, who was not usually on bad terms with her, made a puzzled expression, Lovegood said.
“Even if you give up the first place in the university league rankings, Vikir-sama can’t. Don’t be too careless because it’s the same school.”
“……?”
Dolores tilted her head, and Lovegood shouted.
“Don’t pretend! I heard everything you said on the terrace yesterday!”
Dolores’ expression is that she doesn’t know why.
Lovegood then listed all the lines that Dolores had spoken to Bikir the day before.
“You’re special. Otherwise, you wouldn’t stand out in my eyes like that anytime, anywhere.”
“?”
“These days, wherever I go, I only see you.”
“??”
“Open the door of your heart!”
“???”
Dolores’s hair is dyed white. Did you really say those things yesterday?
‘……I think I did.’
But he didn’t mean it with such a nuance. It seems that he is misunderstanding something…
When he hurriedly turned his head, the Colosseo students’ eyes narrowed slightly.
Dolores said, flustered.
“Oh misunderstanding. That’s only a small part of the conversation, so you have to look at the whole context, not just that line…”
But the timing didn’t help her. I heard Professor Banshee’s chilly voice.
“There are loud winners forward.”
After the congratulatory speeches by the professors, the awards ceremony began.
* * *
In this college league, 10 students who recorded high scores in the top 10 came up to the podium.
‘Dolores Rune Quo Vadis’, No. 1, ‘Merlini Lovegood’, No. 2, ‘Juragio Bakiraga’, No. 3, ‘Hybro Les Baskervilles’, No. 5, ‘Middle Bro Les Baskervilles, No. 5’ ‘Loubro Les Baskervilles, 6th’, ‘Bikir’, 7th, ‘Sinclair’, 8th, ‘Grenouille’, 9th, ‘Hohenheim’, 10th.
And in front of them, Colosseo Academy’s Banshee Professor, who had the most rankers, stood as the dean’s representative.
For some reason, Professor Banshee didn’t seem to be in a good mood, even though the students at Colosseo had excellent grades.
“…Congratulations. Now it’s time to be assigned individual tasks.”
Professor Banshee’s speech was extremely dry and short.
But that was a good thing for the students as it was.
Eventually, the time to choose a task came.
The 7 families’ apprenticeship system academies nurture talents with the necessary competencies for employment in this huge group.
The college league was also an extension of this process.
Several scrolls were placed in front of the ten students.
Each of them had to choose a different task, and Vikir also reached for the scrolls in front of her eyes.
‘With this, I’ve come even closer to the 7th city, Decarabia.’
Now all you have to do is go to the family listed in this scroll and perform the quest requested by that family.
Ten students opened the scroll and held it.
Sinclair, number 8 in the rankings, chose the Quo Vadis family as I said before.
On the outside of the scroll, the difficulty level of the quest is indicated along with the name of the family to help you make a choice.
< Religious Chant Quo Vadis: ★★★☆ >
Three and a half star difficulty.
Opening the scroll, the contents of the task were written, albeit briefly.
The Holy Family of Faith / Difficulty [★★★☆]
Currently, the empire is groaning due to the growing harm of heresy and pseudoscience.
At this time, from the standpoint of the Quo Vadis Inquisition, suggest a way to eradicate heretics and cults and raise the status of the Church of Rune.
A task related to the Quo Vadis family’s ‘Heretic Inquisition’. It is likely that he will work under the Archbishop and Inquisitor, ‘Mozgus Lun Quo Vadis’.
Now, Sinclair just needs to go to the Quo Vadis family and complete the quest.
“I knew this would come up.”
Sinclair smiled as if he had a good trick in mind.
Judging from the fact that Tudor, Sancho, Piggy, and Bianca, even if they were curious about it, they would say that it would be too long to answer in words, so it seemed to be a fairly complex plan.
Meanwhile. Ranking No. 1 Dolores also picked up the roll.
< The bourgeoisie of the conglomerate: ★★★★ >
Four-star difficulty.
I felt that it was quite a difficult task even before I opened the scroll.
財閥家 / Difficulty [★★★★]
The currency manufacturing bureau recently issued high denomination bills, and as a result, counterfeit bills are increasing.
At this time, from the position of the bourgeois family, select the beneficiary item of the currency reform and suggest a new business item or an improvement plan for the old business item.
It was related to Count ‘Bourgeois Demian’, who was the director of the empire’s currency manufacturing department.
It could be said that it was a task that required the use of the brain rather than the body.
Besides that, everyone opened the scroll with the task written on it.
In the case of Hivero, he was given a task related to the land and sea, ‘subjugation of marine-type monsters’ by the Don Quixote family of Changhae Changga.
The difficulty level was a normal level where all you had to do was slaughter a large number of monsters.
In the case of Middle Bro, he was given the somewhat bloody task of ‘pursing the monster that escaped during the clinical trial’ of the extremely poisonous cancer Leviathan family.
The difficulty was ★★★☆ It was a difficulty that could be quite difficult if you did not have poison resistance.
In the case of Loubro, the priestess was assigned the task of helping the Usher family with ‘civil works to prevent flooding of the mansion’.
The difficulty is ★★☆ somewhat easy, but it took a very long time and was tedious.
And several multiple missions given by the imperial family were evenly assigned to everyone.
In the first place, the number of scrolls exceeded 10, so everyone could choose a task they liked.
……but.
In the meantime, there was an incident that shocked everyone.
…chin!
A hand rose above the dark red scroll.
Bikir pointed to the scroll in the most secluded corner without hesitation.
It
is
.
It was the worst family, the worst difficulty, the worst quest that everyone avoided.
