For some reason, today's weather is particularly gloomy.

The sun was completely unblemished, the sky was always gray, and even the air seemed dreary, as if a storm was coming, and the temperature seemed to rise a little.

Under such circumstances, early in the morning, a piece of news spread at the Royal Karakuri Academy of Walpurges.

"I heard that 'Multiple Roars' lost last night?"

"Seems to be the case."

"All the automaton were seriously injured, and they were almost unable to fight anymore because of the magic overdraft, but the other party did not take away her gloves, but kept forcing her to stand up."

"That's too much, isn't it?"

Early in the morning, the news of this spread throughout the academy.

"The opponent is 87th, right?"

"I didn't expect the 87th place to be so strong."

"I thought there wouldn't be any opponents under the 50s."

"I didn't expect that among the subordinates, there are such powerful characters."

"The most important thing is that the other party is so beautiful, but he is not merciless at all."

"Fortunately, she didn't attack the puppeteer, otherwise she would have been disqualified from the competition."

"But why didn't they take away the gloves of the 'Multiple Roars'?"

"How do I know?"

"I was there, but even I didn't know why she didn't take away the gloves of 'Multiple Roars', only that the other party seemed to enjoy the process of persecuting 'Multiple Roars', and she had a very happy smile on her face all the time."

"Wow..."

"It's good that I didn't attend the night party..."

The students were talking like this, which made the whole college very lively early in the morning.

Listening to such discussions, Luo Zhen's face was always calm, and his eyes were always fluctuating with a cold light, so that the night and night beside him followed him honestly, only a trace of worry inevitably appeared on his face.

Luo Zhen took him to the school building of the medical department and came to the infirmary.

As soon as he came here, Luo Zhen saw an acquaintance he hadn't seen for a long time.

"Loki..."

It was Frey's younger brother———— Loki.

I haven't seen him for a while, but Loki is still the same cold appearance, carrying a mechanical automaton by his side, and his whole body exudes an atmosphere that makes people dare not approach casually.

This makes anyone with a discerning eye see that Loki's mood is in a very bad state.

That's rightfully so.

"Are you here to see Frey, too?"

Luo Zhen made this inquiry to Loki.

Loki didn't make any answer to this, still in a very bad mood, staring in the direction of the infirmary, without any expression on his face, but his hands were clenched tightly.

Although it may not seem obvious on the surface, Loki must be very concerned about Frey's affairs, right?

No matter how you say it, it's the only biological sister, and suddenly something like this happens, and it's impossible to say that you're not in a bad mood.

Therefore, Luo Zhen didn't care about Loki's ignorance, and just continued to ask.

"How's Frey doing?"

For Luo Zhen's question, Loki was silent for a while and answered.

“...... It was forbidden to attack the puppets directly at the night meeting, so there were no injuries, only the dogs were seriously injured and not in good condition. ”

Loki replied indifferently.

"Frey's condition is just that her magic is overdrawn, and she accidentally lets "that thing" be activated."

"That thing" is supposed to refer to Frey's heart, right?

Because of the overdraft of the magic, Frey's heart must be in a state of flux, and it is not impossible that it will be activated and forcibly draw out the magic.

"So didn't I say that? Let her obediently abstain and wait for me to win! ”

Loki was stunned.

"With her strength, it's impossible to win at the night party, in that case, obediently hide behind others and enjoy her achievements, why don't you understand...!?"

Loki's voice revealed the irritability and anxiety that he had not seen before, even if the words were extremely hurtful and merciless, but what the real mood was, I believe, anyone could see it.

Luo Zhenyi probably knew what was going on.

Presumably, it was because the switch on her heart was turned on that she was sent to the infirmary like she did on the first night, right?

However, Luo Zhen didn't hear that in the night party last night, Frey had the same amazing magic as she did on the first night.

Therefore, Frey must have been prepared for a long time, and tried her best to suppress the operation of the heart when it started, causing problems with the operation of the heart, before finally collapsing and being sent to the infirmary.

And this situation...

"I'm afraid it was deliberately guided by the 87th, right?"

Luo Zhen whispered, causing Loki to react.

"What do you mean?"

Only then did Loki look at Luo Zhen, his eyes fixed on him.

Facing Loki's gaze, Luo Zhen spoke expressionlessly.

"Didn't you listen to what everyone in the academy had to say about last night's fight?"

All the automata were badly injured, and Frey was barely able to fight anymore due to her magic overdraw, but instead of taking away her gloves, her opponents kept forcing her to stand up.

That's how the people in the academy describe last night's battle.

What does this mean?

It shows that the 87th place deliberately did not take away Frey's gloves, and has been stimulating her all the time, making her get up and continue fighting.

In this way, Luo Zhen had to guess like this.

"The other party has long known that Frey has a problem, even if he doesn't know what the specific problem is, seeing Frey's situation when she fought Veron on the first night, she knows that Frey's body has some kind of means that can force a huge magic force, but she has to pay a price and endure pain."

Luo Zhen calmly made such an explanation.

"The other party has been forcing Frey to stand up and continue fighting, just to force Frey to use this kind of means, right?"

What exactly is this for?

"Enjoy... Is it? ”

Luo Zhen exhaled slowly, and his voice sounded even more slowly.

"It seems that after Bronson, another scumbag has appeared."

This is Luo Zhen's truest feeling now.

"87th place..."

Loki's eyes flickered, his face unchanged, but his mouth spat out the ranking, and his tone was full of suppressed anger.

"What the hell is the origin of the 87th place?"

Luo Zhen asked Loki again.

Loki didn't hide it, and let out a gloomy voice.

"I don't have that much time to keep an eye on that kind of subordinate, I just know that her login code ———— 'Acceleration Elf'."

———— "Speed Up Fairy".

That's the bad abuser.

And then...

"Her name is Alice Bernstein, and she seems to be fairly well-known in the academy."

Loki's name made Luo Zhen's eyes suddenly freeze, and he covered his mouth every night.

"Alice Bernstein..."

This name, Luo Zhen just heard last night.

Moreover, I also met with each other.

"I see, is this the gift you prepared?"

Luo Zhen muttered to himself.

In his eyes, there was not even half a smile.

This represents only one thing.

That's...

"Congratulations, you've me off."

That's it.
