Chapter 77: The Resentment of Jinlisi
Jinlisi, one of the most dazzling magical geniuses of the Milik Kingdom, is only 17 years old. It’s the time when her magical learning is growing explosively, and her magical power has reached the level of a third-grade wizard. Compared to peers, she is in a league of her own. Even facing warriors of the same ‘Broken Army’, she faces them without fear.
However, despite being such a proud figure, Jinlisi finds herself being stepped on repeatedly. In the first round of the competition, Jinlisi, who thought she had the upper hand, found herself only in second place. Ahead of her were Arena and Xuelian, and surprisingly, even the archenemy, the Cyril Principality, was tied with her. What was her name, Yuehai or something? She’s reputed to be beautiful enough to be famous throughout the empire. It’s ridiculous. If she’s really that good-looking, Jinlisi says she’ll swallow her own underwear!
The second round left her even more frustrated. She had thought that Arena, who was in first place, would be eliminated because she couldn’t answer the question. However, she ended up taking an unexpected approach, earning Lady Simira’s admiration.
Disastrous, it’s truly too disastrous.
The two female companions accompanying Jinlisi also noticed the gloomy expression on her face and couldn’t help but offer consolation.
“Don’t worry about it. Look, we’ve all advanced, haven’t we? Jinlisi just had a bit less luck than those people.”
“Yeah, otherwise how could they have the chance to perform?”
Some slightly flattering words made Jinlisi quite happy, and her initially saddened mood improved somewhat.
“Yeah, thank you guys. Let’s hurry and take a bath to relax. After all, the questions posed by the judges have left us looking rather disheveled.”
“Yeah, I really don’t know how the judges can come up with so many completely different questions, and each one requires such long consideration to come up with an answer.”
“Do you think these might be things the judges have experienced themselves? Otherwise, how could they articulate them so well?”
“Alright, these are not the things we should worry about,” Jinlisi shook her head. Regardless of whether the judges were prepared early on or speaking from experience, it had nothing to do with them. It just annoyed Jinlisi that these two companions didn’t focus the conversation on her. Even among the hundred thousand magic girls, she was the top existence. Instead of immediately flattering her, these two women actually had the audacity to discuss the righteousness of the judges. It’s truly laughable.
But Jinlisi failed to notice that even her two companions were exceptional talents among a hundred thousand. Would any of those who stood out from such a vast pool of talent be content with playing second fiddle? However, the power disparity between them forced these two to secretly curry favor with Jinlisi.
As Jinlisi and her companions entered the bathhouse and stepped into the changing room, a pair of figures immediately caught their attention.
No, it wasn’t just the three of them; even the magical girls who had arrived early were stunned by the scene unfolding before them.
A girl with exquisitely delicate features, bordering on being a work of art, was forcefully removing the clothes of another breathtaking beauty. Though the act seemed lacking in refinement, her beauty overshadowed any shortcomings. Around them, about twenty to thirty girls watched in awe. When something is so beautiful, anyone would appreciate it. There might be a desire to approach such beauty oneself, leading to a jealousy to surpass the other. However, when beauty reaches its pinnacle, to the extent that it becomes daunting, others lose even the qualification to be jealous, leaving only admiration.
Jinlisi is among these people, and her companion beside her is lost in thought, murmuring, “Yuehai, Xuelian!”
“Yuehai!!” Jinlisi suddenly snaps out of her reverie. The two in front of her are exceedingly beautiful, yet she doesn’t recognize either of them. Although she cared greatly about their achievements before, she had never bothered to use the magic shadowstone to observe their appearances. In Jinlisi’s own words, she hadn’t paid them any attention at all.
However, now, a ludicrous thought arises in Jinlisi’s mind: whether she can swallow her own underwear or not.
On the other side, Tyr is already sweating profusely. Arena, who has been attentively watching, can’t help but secretly admire, “Indeed, Lord Tyr is worthy of admiration. Even his expressions and actions can be so exaggerated.” However, Arena doesn’t realize that the current Tyr is merely expressing the tumultuous thoughts in Yuehai’s mind through body language.
“Miss Xuelian, let’s have a proper conversation. Could you please, please give me back my clothes?”
“Huh? Miss Yuehai, you’re really naughty, hiding meat like this.”
“W-wait, wait! Miss Xuelian, where are you touching?”
“Haha, there are over twenty young ladies watching us now, Miss Yuehai, if you keep your eyes closed like this, I might just take the clothes and run away~” Xuelian said with a laugh, then took two steps back, as if she was about to run away with Yuehai’s clothes.
