Chapter 316: Messy Battle (2)

"Dammit, what is happening!?"

"Where are they!?"

"They were here just no–Agh!"

"Joseph! Damn y–Ugh!"

Countless students were going after Bloed, Aya, and Liu Ying. They were desperately trying to surround them and defeat them to get the three golden invitations.

However, despite their superior number, the students were unable to eliminate the three of them. Instead, they were being eliminated quickly.

Moreover, most of them had not even seen Bloed and the girls.

"Where are they!?" A student asked in confusion.

"They were here just now! How did they disappear!?"

"What do you m–Ugh!"

"Can Wu! Damn it! Bastards, stop hiding as cowards!"

Neither Bloed nor Liu Ying or Aya cared about these words.

Since the start, this game was not fair at all. How could it be fair when hundreds of students were fighting against three students.

Taking that into account, Bloed knew that he and the girls could not go against so many students by themselves using normal means.

Hence, he thought of this strategy.

With the help of Bloed's stealth devices, Bloed and Liu Ying mixed between the students and attacked them, focusing on the ones with blue invitations.

At the same time, Aya hid in the shadows, using her assassination techniques to defeat as many students as possible.

This strategy was incredibly effective.

Although Bloed's stealth device was far from comparable to the stealth of someone like Aya or Sara, it was more than enough in this situation. Making use of the chaos and the optical invisibility granted by the stealth devices, he and Liu Ying could move through the students easily, increasing their chaos and confusion even more.

And this chaos was very advantageous for them.

They did not last long in a place. Instead, they moved through the streets of the city as they defeated student after student.

The only problem was the B-Rank students. But with Oculus's help, Bloed and the girls kept an eye on them and made sure to avoid them as long as it was possible.

However, although this strategy was effective, some students saw through it.

Under the leadership of the member of several clubs, many students focused on surrounding Bloed and the girls completely. They knew that as long as they were surrounded, they would be nothing more than turtles in a jar, unable to escape no matter how much they struggled.

Unfortunately for them, although their plan was good, the reality was not so easy.

Certainly, that plan was effective. But precisely due to that, Bloed had thought in a way to avoid it.

He kept an eye on the entire battlefield through Oculus. Hence, every time he noticed they were about to be surrounded, he would lead the girls to the weakest part of the encirclement, escaping once more and continuing the game of cat and mouse.

Like that, the number of students they defeated like that quickly approached one hundred!

Such a feat was so astonishing that the people observing the game were astonished.

At this moment, the heads of the clubs and some teachers and demigods were looking at a screen-like artifact located in the plaza with a grave look.

Each one of them had their eyes focused on the unbelievable battle.

"… It looks like that some monsters arrived at Academy City." The head of one of the clubs said.

"I thought it was a joke when the headmistress proposed this game, but now I think I understand her intention."

"… You are right. They are definitively on a whole different level than the rest of the newcomers. At this rate, they will eliminate all the members of team blue before they are defeated."

While the various students and demigods were commenting about the battle, Mu Quan, the strongest student in the city, who had kept his eyes closed all this while, opened them suddenly.

Then, he stared at the three students fixedly.

Soon, his entire attention was on the demon girl using her fists and kicks to sweep through the nearby enemies.

For an instant, a frown appeared on his face.

However, it disappeared as suddenly as it appeared.

...

At the same time, the dragon headmistress had a small smile on her face as she watched the battle.

"How surprising… I was expecting to see something amazing when you told me about him, but this surpasses my expectations."

"… Mine as well." Eve, who had appeared at some point together with the silver-haired Valkyrie, nodded expressionlessly. "As expected of someone who managed to catch the interest of two goddesses."

"However, I'm interested in these two girls as well." The headmistress with a chuckle, focusing on the two sisters that moved quickly through the city as they eliminated all the members of team blue they met. "It was a miscalculation. I never thought they would have two allies I did not know about… And that little girl… How in the hell is she locating the students on team blue? Miss Regina, do you know about it?"

The silver-haired Valkyrie glared at the headmistress coldly before proceeding to ignore her completely.

It was obvious she was very displeased after her master was involved in this kind of incident.

Of course, she could not deny that she also felt very proud at the same time.

After all, it meant the entire city would learn about how incredible her master was.

To Regina, who put Bloed above everything else, the fact that her master's talents were being recognized satisfied her.

...

While the three powerful women were talking, the chaotic battle continued.

By this point, the number of students lying unconscious on the streets had increased greatly.

However, Bloed, Liu Ying, and Aya had started to feel the burden of the battle.

It was because the number of students from the clubs attacking them had increased greatly.

Just the number of B-Ranks on the crowd had reached the double digits. Furthermore, there were still tens of C-Rank and D-Rank club members attacking the group besides them.

Compared to the C-Rank and D-Rank newcomers, the club members were much stronger. Their cooperation was making things way harder for Bloed and the girls.

"Girls. We need to leave this location quickly." Bloed spoke through the earphone on his ear.

"Damn it! This is endless!" Liu Ying cursed. "Little Gina, how many students of team blue remain!?"

"Give me a moment, sister Liu Ying." The gentle voice of the honey-haired girl reached them. "There are just forty-five left. However, twelve of them are under the protection of some clubs! They will be a bit troublesome."

"Twelve…" Bloed frowned. The situation had turned as he feared.

If they did not defeat these twelve students, this absurd game was not going to end.

But there was a high probability that these students were under the protection of one or more B-Ranks.

"My lord, leave it to me."

"Sara?"

"Don't worry, I'll take care of them as quickly as possible. Gina, give me their locations."

"Yes, sis! In one second!��

Bloed fell silent for a moment before humming in affirmation.

"Thank you. Gina, Sara, I leave it to you. As for us, I think we will have to take care of the situation here." Bloed said as he stopped abruptly.

At the same time, Aya and Liu Ying stopped beside him.

At some point in time, they had been surrounded by more than ten B-Rank students.
