“Dean, it’s this one! She cheated!”
“Cheated? How did I cheat?”
“You cheated, period.”
“Quiet. I’ll handle the questions,” Weida said to Kasola in a commanding tone.
“O-okay, Dean.”
“This student, I heard you drew a Magic Array and sealed this student’s Magic Power. Is that true or not?”
Zhu Qiu froze for a moment when she heard the dean’s words, then gave an answer that shocked Kasola.
“Dean, what are you talking about? I can’t understand any of this.”
Zhu Qiu tilted her head, putting on an innocent look.
“Dean, she’s been with me the whole time. We’ve never seen this person before, and there’s no such thing as some messy Magic Array.”
“It wasn’t you two?”
Weida was instantly dumbfounded, standing in front of them looking particularly awkward.
Kasola couldn’t stand by and watch them deny what they had done.
“Hey! You two did something wrong and can’t even own up to it?”
Zhu Qiu shot back, “What did we do? You need to provide evidence, you know.”
“What evidence do I need? The fact that I can’t use Magic is the biggest proof!”
“What does you not being able to use Magic have to do with me? You need proof that I did it. Without evidence, who would believe you? Right, Dean?”
Zhu Qiu and Yiluo Enya’s gazes landed on the dean at the same time.
Already embarrassed, Weida felt increasingly overwhelmed under their stares.
“Where’s your evidence?”
The dean tapped Kasola’s head, signaling for him to produce proof.
“How would I have evidence? The Magic Array isn’t here. They must be scared of seeing me, which is why they hid in this godforsaken place.”
“And even if we went back now, they’d have already destroyed the Magic Array beforehand. But that’s the truth!”
Kasola said this with conviction.
“So you have no evidence?”
“I…”
Kasola didn’t know what to say for a moment.
He truly had no evidence.
“You’re wasting my time. Figure out your own way back. I’m leaving, and your participation in this event is canceled.”
“Dean!”
Kasola desperately grabbed Weida’s hand, but she shook him off.
“I’m warning you. If you interfere with me again, I have the right to expel you from the First Academy of the Dragon Clan!”
Hearing those words, Kasola’s hand froze midair.
Seizing the moment, Weida transformed into her Dragon Form and flew away.
“Dean!”
He yelled furiously at the sky, watching helplessly as Weida departed.
“Come on, can’t you just believe me?!”
‘Great. Now even the dean doesn’t believe me. What am I supposed to do?’
“Hmph?”
Zhu Qiu walked up to Kasola with a sly grin on her face.
“Hehe~ Fun, isn’t it?”
“This isn’t fun at all! Remove the seal right now!”
“Oh, don’t worry. This sealing magic isn’t actually that powerful. It’ll automatically dispel after a week. It’s not permanent.”
Zhu Qiu revealed the truth to give Kasola some peace of mind.
After all, she only wanted Kasola to learn his lesson, not to harm him.
She obviously knew that Dragon Race members couldn’t get by easily without Magic, which was exactly why she had done this.
That should do it now. The goal had been achieved.
“Really?”
Kasola’s eyes showed a hint of doubt, but more than anything, hope.
“Really. Absolutely true. Now go on. Don’t disturb my card game with Yiluo Enya, or we might just take control of you again.”
With that, Kasola scurried off in a flash.
“HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!”
“Hey! Boss, where are you going?”
“I’m going to report this to the dean! That dragon just used a Magic Array to seal my Magic Power. That’s completely cheating!”
“Boss, wait for me! I’ll file a complaint with you and get their competition qualifications stripped!”
“Huh?”
“Sealed Magic? Is that even a thing?”
As for what happened with Kasola afterward, Zhu Qiu and Yiluo Enya naturally had no idea.
“Yiluo Enya, I’m going to battle you for another three hundred rounds!”
“Bring it on! Who’s scared of who!”
Meanwhile, on the other side.
“Sister, we’re so amazing. We handled all those people so easily.”
Mi Wenna said happily.
At this moment, the two sisters were walking along a river that branched off from the lake.
They already had five gold coins in hand.
Not a lot, but not too few either, since the vast majority of people didn’t have a single one.
“Sister, where are we going?”
“Little sister, you wouldn’t understand. I have a plan.”
“What plan? Tell me.”
“Hehe. Sister, think about it. We took out so many of their teammates in such a flashy way, and then we let them go. What does that tell you?”
“Tell me what?”
Mi Wenna didn’t get it.
“It means they’re definitely going to look for outside help. At the same time, more people are sure to have their eyes on us.”
“We’re strong, sure, but to be safe, we still need to be careful.”
“So we’re…”
“Exactly. To be safe, I plan to find a remote spot and hide.”
“When they can’t find us, they’ll turn on each other. Then we strike last. The mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind!”
“Wow!!! Sister, I knew you were the best!”
Mi Wenna listened, completely mesmerized, feeling like everything her sister said made perfect sense.
“Of course. I mean, who am I, right?”
“And besides, by following the river, even if we run into enemies on the way, we can use whatever’s around us and keep bringing out our full strength.”
Mi Wenni was basking in her sister’s praise, holding her head high.
“Okay, sister. Let’s hurry.”
Mi Wenna clapped happily beside her.
“Let’s go, little sister. We should reach our destination before dark.”
“I don’t want to almost freeze to death like last night. The nights here are just like that.”
The two sisters walked along the riverbank, and as time passed, the sun was about to set.
“Sister, how much farther do we have to go? I’m so tired.”
“Almost there, almost there. Don’t say tired. Once we arrive, we’ll quickly build a house and then we can rest.”
“Okay.”
They continued forward for a bit longer, and the sky went completely dark.
Mi Wenni, the elder sister, estimated they were almost at their destination.
Just then, a light source suddenly appeared directly ahead in her field of vision.
“Little sister, what’s that?”
Mi Wenni rubbed her eyes to make sure she wasn’t seeing things.
“Sister, is there light up ahead?”
“That’s what I’m seeing too. But in a place like this, why would there be light?”
After a brief discussion, they decided to go check it out.
As they drew closer, they saw a small house, with the light coming from inside.
“Someone lives here?”
Mi Wenna was a bit surprised.
But her elder sister, Mi Wenni, quickly covered her mouth and made a shushing gesture.
“Shh—listen carefully. There seems to be someone inside.”
Both of them immediately perked up their ears.
“Nuke Bomb! Hehe~ I win again.”
