"Speaking of that guy Wu Yu, he's really amazing. His swordsmanship is superb; he actually defeated all those second-tier mages."

"Hmph, he only got the better end of the game because of the rules. If I could use a magical artifact, I would beat him so badly that even his own mother wouldn't recognize him." The man covered his bruised eye and said bitterly.

"What's so special about that? I carry three bundles of forbidden spell scrolls with me. Even if the dean comes, I can still hold my own for a couple of rounds." No one hates bragging.

"Stop bragging, let's guess who will advance in today's semifinals."

"Isn't that obvious? It's definitely Wu Yu. Although I'm a huge fan of Miss Violet, she's had a tough journey. She hasn't even encountered one of those three third-tier mages. And none of the people who have fought Wu Yu have lasted more than three moves."

"That's fair. Those haters are just mindlessly spouting nonsense. In my opinion, apart from our class's number one genius, Young Master Edie, no one can punish him."

"I support Wu Yu."

"I support Young Master Edie." The crowd split into two factions and began arguing.

Suddenly, a discordant voice weakly said, "By the way, why hasn't Wu Yu shown up yet? If he's late, he'll probably be disqualified!"

The crowd fell silent as they looked toward the ring, where the spirited Violet was already standing, but her opponent, Wu Yu, had yet to appear.

An unexpected change occurred, and the outcome of the match seemed to be developing in a direction that no one had anticipated.

······

"This isekai novel is so cliché."

Looking at this group of young men, all knights who defeated the demon king and then married the princess, Wu Yu couldn't help but complain.

After reading only the beginning, Wu Yu could pretty much guess what would happen next. So he closed the ninth book he had opened that morning, lay lazily on the sofa in the library's private room, exuding a unique, nerdy vibe.

"This is so boring," Wu Yu couldn't help but complain.

Surrender without a fight—that was Wu Yu's answer to Violet.

The main reason is that their performances in the past few days were so different. If I lose to Violet, I will not think of anything other than throwing the match.

Although Wu Yu didn't care about his reputation, he couldn't afford to ruin it over such a trivial matter.

If it drags on until this afternoon, all I need to do is announce that I didn't attend because I had diarrhea. Then, whether others believe it or not, they'll have to accept it.

The only problem is how to kill the remaining few hours, it's such a coincidence that we'll meet in the semifinals.

If one hadn't built up such a massive reputation, perhaps one could easily let things slide and no one would care. This is truly a case of reaping what one sows.

While conducting self-examination, Wu Yu opened his tenth book.

"God, please grant me an interesting novel," Wu Yu pleaded in his heart, without much hope.

"Jerry, where are you taking me?"

Philliss was eliminated early on. As long as no one else deliberately forfeited in order to curry favor with her, she really couldn't beat anyone.

Logically speaking, the competition period should be considered a holiday for other students who have been eliminated, but Wu Yu is a contestant today, so she still came to the college just to watch Wu Yu's competition.

But Jerry, who is usually quiet, told her that Wu Yu was not in the ring, so she followed Jerry and wandered around the academy.

"The library," Jerry said, then silently continued walking ahead.

Jerry doesn't want to talk to Philliss right now because he's afraid he might soften his stance and change his mind.

The day after his last trip to the Outer Gods, Jerry received power from the Outer Gods Alliance. After secretly testing its terrifying power,

Despite his surprise, Jerry remained worried, fearing that those people would come after him again.

But you can dodge the first day of the month, but you can't dodge the fifteenth.

Just yesterday, the Outer Gods Alliance finally came to him.

When that group of people quietly appeared in the heavily guarded palace, Jerry knew that he couldn't possibly renege on his promise.

The place they asked Jerry to take Philliss to was somewhere at the Royal Magic Academy. The method didn't matter; as long as he got the person there, Jerry would have completed his mission.

This relieved Jerry greatly. Although he knew it was wishful thinking, he still didn't want to sever ties with Philliss.

So Jerry wanted to create a coincidence.

Wu Yu gave him this opportunity. As soon as Jerry arrived at the academy today, he kept a close eye on the situation. He then noticed that Wu Yu did not go to the arena for the competition, but instead plunged into the academy's library and never came out again.

This was Jerry's opportunity. He knew that Phillis had come to see Wu Yu, so he went along with it and offered to take Phillis to find Wu Yu, who was not in the ring.

Our destination is just ahead.

It was a small pavilion standing in the middle of the lake, connected to several routes, and was considered a necessary route to the library. Jerry observed it for a while and did not find any traps, which made him wonder why those people had brought Phillis here.

"Pfft."

Suddenly, a huge splash erupted from the lake, and a figure leaped out of the water.

So that's how it is. The Outer Gods Alliance had already infiltrated the Royal Magic Academy. But what exactly were they planning to do? Jerry didn't have time to think about it at the moment. He shouted almost instinctively.
