Book 2: Chapter 29.2: Evaluating The Team Part II

Scarlet

A few seconds ago

I narrow my eyes at the two guys who have suddenly become close friends judging by Necros arm on Michaels shoulder despite me never having seen them together before.

What were they talking about before we came? And why the sudden change in subject?

I stare at the two for a few seconds before giving a mental shrug.

Guess it doesnt matter.

To start with, I turn my gaze to Michael, you were pitifully weak. So you really should put more effort into defending yourself.

Michael blushes at that but doesnt say anything.

Sure, his martial arts were good, but its almost as if he just stopped learning to fight after getting a healing magic or something. Absolutely not a good idea, even if he does have his summons there to help him. And he is getting more and more summons as he gets stronger.

Particularly some sort of hound summon and an elemental.

I turn to look at Denise as I continue, You were too reliant on Michaels healing and lost a lot of your momentum the moment he died. Then to Emily, You were just like Michael but even worse in that you dont seem to have put much effort into training to fight hand to hand at all. So the moment I got close to you, you were dead. And lastly, Belle. You werent bad.

Belle jumps up with a whoop of excitement.

I snort at that but otherwise dont say anything.

In all honesty, they should be getting their instructor to help them and not me. I only started fighting a little over a month ago. So Im not exactly an expert.

But those issues were rather obvious, and Im shocked they didnt notice and fix them themselves.

That aside, I turn back to Michael and Anthony. When did you two become such close friends?This chapter made its debut appearance via N0v3lB1n.

They awkwardly laugh at that, making me narrow my eyes in suspicion.

The class itself was a struggle to make it through without falling asleep. Especially before the quiz, which was in the last hour and twenty minutes of the class.

But it was worth it in the end, since there wasnt a single question on there that I found difficult.

I glance at the other students, some of whom are staring at me in shock as I leave, only to turn away the moment I leave through the door.

Well then. Time to head to the cafeteria in the manor.

Because Im hungry after dealing with a five or so hour long class.

Of course, I attract plenty of attention both in my walk to the top class residential area, and when I get to the cafeteria itself. Because apparently Im the talk of the school or something, as Belle likes to put it.

Not exactly something Im comfortable with, but when you end up fighting in a Class II Fracture and killing various Class II demons while at Class I, word tends to get around.

Or at least, thats what Belle says. The girls been rather incessantly bothering me ever since we had the adoption talk. And she is completely obsessed with the idea of taking me shopping to treat me like a dress up doll.

I shiver at the thought.

Id rather be dead than wear a maid outfit, thank you very much. And whoevers idea it was to put that in her thick skull should be knocked out and tossed in the dirtiest dumpster theyve ever seen.

A rather descriptive image, Tar mutters, sounding amused.

Well, they deserve it. And for some odd reason, I feel as if it may have been either Denises or Artorias doing.

Artoria? Why would my sister- he pauses as he seems to remember something. Oh. Right. You mentioned Belle had her own friend named Artoria?

I nod my head right as I reach the table in the cafeteria and begin ordering food.

Both of those two are big on that anime stuff, and old world Japanese stuff in general. Which seemed to be rather big on maid outfits for some reason absolutely unknown to me.

Why would someone want to see a girl dressed up as a servant from older times anyways? It doesnt make sense to me.

Some people just have odd taste is all, Tar says, and I cant help but agree.

Then my food begins to arrive, making me absolutely love the fast speed of these chefs. Even if theyre kind of cheating by using magic. If you can call that cheating.
