Chapter 1821??? (__*)?? Useless Idiot
"..."
In the luxurious palace, Hermione is casually following their bad little teacher (professor), Misaka Mikoto, Shirai Kuroko, Index and the magical girl group, that is, Tosaka Rin, Tosaka Sakura, Yili Ya and Luviana had their dinner together.
While eating, Hermione turned her head to look at the still vacant seat beside her, and couldn't help frowning slightly.
Whichever empty seat belongs to Irena, of course!
In fact, these people would have dinner together in such a happy way almost every night, looking like a big family. Therefore, the place that belongs to Irena is still neatly arranged with all kinds of tableware and tableware. Plates and napkins and whatnot.
It's a pity that Irena hasn't shown up until now.
Hermione didn't think too much about it, because, usually, Irena would occasionally be late once or twice, sometimes for a few minutes, sometimes for more than ten minutes, and they were already somewhat used to it.
It's just that I don't know what happened today, until now, almost half an hour later, and they have eaten almost half, but Irena still hasn't seen her back, and she doesn't know if the other party is busy. something.
But anyway, Hermione knows that the other party is definitely not in the palace. She came to eat after changing clothes and taking a bath in their room before. She didn't see any sign of Irena coming back. Presumably, Now the other party must still be wandering somewhere in the city, right?
Shaking her head, she complained in her heart that Irena didn't come back for dinner on time and didn't leave a message in advance. After struggling for a while, she didn't think about it anymore, but continued to eat the food on her plate slowly.
After all, if you don’t hurry to eat, Misaka Mikoto and Tohsaka Rin, the two guys who are still fighting openly and secretly, may have conflicts again at some point, and then at the instigation of a certain infinite teacher, she will lift the plate and turn the table. You have to hurry up and eat your own.
"..."
"Hello!"
"Miqin, how about it, are you confident that you will reach the quarter-finals?"
While eating, Hermione couldn't figure out why Irena didn't come back for dinner, so she didn't think about it at all, but asked Misaka Mikoto next to her.
Originally, there was no competition at night, but starting today, in order to speed up the process, and also for the tens of thousands of tourists stranded on the floating island to have something to do at night so as not to cause trouble (such as Harry, because of the burning A hotel has a sky-high debt, and it is currently under residential surveillance), the competition committee unanimously decided after research that starting today, there will be a booster match in the evening until the final four names in the semi-finals are determined. !
And tonight, it is to determine the places for the quarter-finals, and it is the final round of knockout rounds to determine 16 out of 32 players.
Regardless of whether it was Hermione herself, Misaka Mikoto, or Tohsaka Rin and Illya who looked up at them across the table at this time, they all needed to make relevant preparations after dinner.
Up to now, there are only less than two hours before the start of the game.
"Um……"
"A game?"
Stopping the movement of eating with her hands, Misaka Mikoto turned her head while biting the spoon, looked at Hermione, and immediately remembered her big pile of secret weapons.
She and Heizi once went to an uninhabited place on the edge of the floating island to experiment. If the gold coins Anne gave were used to launch the "super electromagnetic gun", the range would be at least several kilometers or even farther, which is the same as before. The 50-meter range is simply not a class!
As for the rate of fire, it has been increased from the original eight rounds per minute to twelve rounds per minute, that is, every five seconds, which fully guarantees her quick reaction and counterattack in the game, making her more confident in winning. A little more fully.
And, since gold is the best conductor, and they've been 'enchanted',
It can really resist high-temperature burning, and it won’t melt too quickly, and the weight is still several times that of ordinary game coins. Therefore, after a brief estimation of the specific power, she and Heizi feel that if there is enough acceleration distance, It is likely that piercing through a mountain will not be a big problem?
In short, power or something, anyway, it is very scary!
"fine!"
"After solving the ammunition problem, I think there should be no big problem, right?"
"There is still a little bit of confidence."
However, regarding the secret weapon, Miqin was not so careless as to say everything here, she just responded to Hermione's question with a vague smile.
After all, she is not stupid. Although Hermione has a good relationship with her and knew that she was worrying about the ammunition, the other party is also one of the competitors after all. Moreover, there are two powerful competitors who have not been eliminated on the other side of the table. The opponent is eyeing her fiercely, so she definitely won't say anything about her trump card and those gold coins.
In fact, after receiving Annie's gift, she and Heizi went to the city to exchange some silver coins of the right size. There is a small increase, but it is not obvious that it is just an ordinary silver coin, and it does not directly use the heat-resistant gold coin that is said to have been enchanted by an old dragon.
That was her trump card, and before the most critical moment, Misaka Mikoto would definitely not use it or say it easily.
She even discussed with Heizi that those gold coins would only be used at the moment of decisive victory or in a crisis of necessity, and deal a sudden fatal blow to the competitors.
Think about it, the "super electromagnetic gun", which usually only has a range of more than 50 meters, and its power can also be defended, has suddenly become a dimensionality reduction strike that ignores the distance of the audience, and its power and penetration ability have been increased by countless levels , That kind of thing must surprise the competitors, right?
"Is that so?"
"Um!"
"fine!"
Nodding, Hermione looked at Illya and Rin Tohsaka who were listening to the situation on the other side of the table.
Of course, the two of them also entered the top 32, so there will also be their competition tonight.
"So!"
"Rin, and Illya, what about you?"
"Are you sure?"
While Hermione was asking, she also looked at the Command Seals on the hands of the two with some trepidation.
She knew that it was the magic engraving for them to summon heroic spirits from another world, and it was improved by her professor Annie, and it could be transferred to another person after being eliminated. It can be said to be very cunning and shameless. Kind of thing.
But there is no way, it is only natural for mages to summon helpers, just like her Hermione, she will occasionally summon water elementals or fire elementals during matches, or even summon god guards to interfere and attack opponents, but, quite In comparison, the Command Seals of those two little guys are indeed too strong.
Anyway, as Hermione knows, those heroic spirits can defeat the strongest knight in Al Salia continent in a one-on-one situation. If she meets two of them by herself, she must use the fastest It is enough to defeat them at a high speed, otherwise, the result will be unpredictable.
"grasp?"
"It should be fine, right?"
"Anyway!"
"As long as I don't touch Illya, I'm fine!"
Rin Tohsaka said with a determined face.
She has the help of her dull-haired sister Artoria. When the time comes, she will be summoned directly to let the other party go up and slash people, while she can just hide behind and cast magic. It will not be too easy.
As long as she doesn't meet that bastard Illya who has two Command Spells and can summon Sister Joan and Medusa at the same time, she will definitely win.
"snort!"
"It doesn't matter if you run into me!"
"At that time, Rin, you can just surrender directly, and then I will have three Command Seals!"
"Ha ha!!"
As she spoke, Illya smiled triumphantly.
She is already thinking, when the time comes, with the three Command Seals in hand, she just needs to summon them immediately, and then hide herself, hide in the distance and put mirror images, invisibility, traps, etc. Anyway, as long as she protects herself , Then, you can sit back and wait for the victory to come.
Except for herself and Rin, Illya absolutely does not believe that among the remaining 30 opponents, who else can resist the joint attack of the three heroic spirits!
"!!"
"But why didn't you surrender?"
"Why should I surrender?!"
Rin Tohsaka was angry, and he patted the table and asked loudly.
"Because I have two Command Seals!"
"you think……"
"At that time, my Joan of Arc will drag your Artoria, and then, Medusa and I will chase you and fight you, will you accept it?"
"Are you scared?"
Ilya proudly raised her eyebrows at Rin Tohsaka, and asked with some disdain and disdain.
"hateful!"
"You are less proud!"
"Maybe, you will be eliminated by others soon, and then you will give me the Command Seal while crying!"
Somewhat exasperated, but Rin Tohsaka couldn't think of a reasonable reason to refute, so he could only blushed and cursed.
Because, in fact, it is exactly as Illya said, their strengths are equal to each other, no one can do anything to each other, and they are very familiar with each other, if I only have Arturia, but the other party With the help of Joan of Arc and Medusa, she definitely has little chance of winning in a three-on-two situation.
"Ah!"
"What a headache..."
"Meiqin..."
"look!"
"No matter who they win or lose, it's not good news for us!"
Seeing the two angry eyes and arguing, Hermione suddenly felt that her hope of winning the competition seemed faintly slim?
"If they lose together, it will be news!"
"Pray!"
"Pray that they are best not to be grouped together, and then, it is best to meet that kind of super powerful player at the same time?"
Misaka Mikoto thought for a while, then fantasized like this, and hoped to express her expectation.
Although she has a secret weapon now, if possible, she really doesn't want to face those two troublesome guys who can summon heroic spirits and all kinds of weird magic on the opposite side of the long table.
Think about a powerful heroic spirit rushing towards him, and there is a mage throwing spells in the distance. To Misaka Mikoto, that kind of situation is simply a nightmare!
"Ha ha!"
"Yes, it is……"
"Speaking of which, it seems that there are indeed quite a few powerful guys who entered the top 32!"
Speaking, Hermione began to recall the battle report she had read in the afternoon.
There are many powerful fighters and mages up there, and there are guys who are both fighters and mages, such as that orc called Thrall. The opponent is armed with a hammer that emits lightning. Long-distance attack is indeed difficult to deal with.
There are also thieves who can attack from a distance and make stealth attacks at close range. Just thinking about it makes Hermione feel a little bit numb.
In this way, Hermione began to chat with Misaka Mikoto, and across the table, Tohsaka Rin quarreled with Illya, and neither of them wanted to give up easily and give up their heroic spirits to each other.
"..."
( ̄~ ̄) Chew!
"??"
(??~??)
"Hey! Hermione, where's that idiot Irena? She's not coming back for dinner tonight?"
(???c)
At this time, Annie, who had been silent all this while eating, suddenly asked aloud, and successfully attracted everyone's attention.
"ah!"
"This..."
"I don't really know either."
Hermione stopped whispering to Mikoto, and then turned her head to look at the empty seat next to her which was still empty.
"It's strange to say."
"I didn't see her in the room before. She didn't seem to come back, and she didn't say where she was going."
"but……"
"It's already this time, she doesn't seem to be so late usually?"
As she said that, Hermione couldn't help frowning and became worried, because this was the first time in so many days of contact.
"Is that so?"
(°-°〃)
"Forget it! Leave her alone!"
( ̄~ ̄) Chew!
Seeing that Hermione didn't know it, Annie began to eat again on her own.
After all, that guy Irena didn't participate in the competition, and it doesn't seem to matter whether she comes back for dinner or not. Anyway, she definitely doesn't care about that guy too much. Since she doesn't know if she asks Hermione, then it doesn't matter. Forget it.
"ah!"
"I remembered!"
Suddenly, Hermione exclaimed, and quickly took out a big thing like a desk clock from her untraceable expanded pocket.
"??"
(???.???)????
"what?"
∑('△')? !
Seeing this, Annie stopped what she was doing and expressed a little curiosity.
"nice one!"
"The wall clock at Ron's house, Professor Anne, you should still have an impression, right?"
The name of each family member of the Weasley family is engraved on each needle of Ron's wall clock, pointing to the place where each family member may appear, including 'home', 'school', 'prison', 'disappeared' ', 'Quidditch' and so on, and at 12 o'clock on that clock, there is also 'Deadly Danger' engraved, just like the mobile phone positioning and other instruments in the Muggle world, very easy to use.
"But this one doesn't belong to Ron's family. This one is an experimental product that we made together after I told Irena about it."
"Although it is not perfect yet, but you are optimistic, it can also be used!"
After explaining, Hermione pulled out her wand, first shook it in the air, and then pointed at the dial of the wall clock.
In the next second, something miraculous happened.
On the wall clock on the table, there was a pointer with Hermione's face on it?
Then, the pointer started to rotate rapidly by itself, and the patterns and characters on the dial also began to change, and after a certain scale pattern of Anne's beautiful palace appeared, it quickly turned there and stopped down.
"look!"
"This is where I am now, the palace, right?"
"then……"
"It's Irena's. She also left her mark on this clock before, and then..."
Hermione waved her wand once more in the air, then pointed upward again, casting some sort of spell.
"Huh?"
!(;?o?)o
"It turned to the direction of twelve o'clock, what does the blood mean?"
|?˙?˙)?
At this time, Annie saw that the pointer with the idiot head of Irena on it quickly turned to the scarlet scale with a drop of blood at twelve o'clock, and at the same time, the one on Irena's The hateful smiling face also instantly turned into a miserable and mournful face, not to mention how fun it was.
(…)
(● ̄? ̄●)
"not good!"
"Professor Annie, Irena is in danger!"
"quick!"
"We must go to her immediately!!"
Unlike the playful Anne and the curious crowd, Hermione took a breath when she saw this, and then she made a decisive decision, pushed the chair away, and hurriedly stood aside and said loudly.
"alright!"
"I've already located her, it seems a little far away from here!"
"Everyone, I'm going first!"
"Shape-shifting!!"
After finishing speaking, Hermione resolutely raised her wand after sensing a certain coordinate object she placed on Irena under the suspicious eyes of everyone, and then disappeared into this luxurious palace in an instant In the dining room.
Although, Hermione can also use the more comfortable portal technology, but because she is not very skilled, most of the time she is still used to using the kind of apparition she is better at, even if that spell is indeed It was uncomfortable, like pushing someone down a toilet and flushing it, but now, she couldn't care less.
"Really, we haven't finished our meal yet!"
(?????)
Looking at her plate and the half-drinked thick soup in the bowl, Annie was slightly dissatisfied.
"Everyone knows that Irena is a useless idiot!"
???(__*)??
"All right!"
ε=(′ο`*)))
"Just go and have a look!"
╮(╯▽╰)╭
Thinking that I was almost full, thinking that even Irena would be in danger, and thinking that there would be an extra Hermione who might be Anne who delivered the food, so I had no choice but to reluctantly jump off her chair, and then, with a wave of my hand, She opened a portal and sauntered through it.
After all, she didn't want her two students to belch all at once. It would definitely be a bit embarrassing to talk about that kind of thing.
"oops!"
ヾ(=?ω?=)o
"Almost forgot!"
(????-)?
(…)
(● ̄(?) ̄●)
Then, Annie, who had just walked into the portal, suddenly turned back, first made a big grimace at Mikoto, Tohsaka Rin, Illya and others who were still a little at a loss, and then grabbed the table. A certain bear named Tibbers, then re-drilled into the portal, and completely disappeared without a trace.
"Decided!"
"I also need to go!"
"Wait for me!"
Finally, Misaka Mikoto came back to her senses.
Although she didn't know what happened, and she didn't know what the magic was about, but she only knew that something happened to Irena, so she felt that she couldn't turn a blind eye to it, so she got up in a hurry and wiped her mouth with a napkin , and then planned to run into that portal and go to see what happened together.
"no!"
However, before Miqin started to move, a pair of hands suddenly stretched out, and firmly protected her.
"My lord, you can't go!"
"You still have to compete tonight!"
"What if you can't make it back by then?"
"I won't let you go!!"
Of course those hands belonged to Kuroko Shirai, and while hugging Mikoto, she also plausibly stated her reasons.
"I know!"
"But Irena is in danger..."
"Let's talk!"
"Maybe we'll be back soon?"
"It's still more than an hour before the game starts!"
Meiqin felt that although the time was a bit rushed, if she was quicker, maybe there would be time?
"No! No!"
"What if I don't come back?"
"besides!"
"Maybe, I'll never come back!"
Heizi protested, but still hugged her sister Miqin tightly, and let the other party struggle no matter how hard she refused to let go.
"How can it be?"
"Stop joking!"
Meiqin felt a little dumbfounded, in her opinion, with Hermione and Annie around, it was impossible for something like that that would never come back to happen.
"Don't listen! Don't listen!"
"In short!"
"Sister, I won't let you go!!"
Heizi didn't want to hear it, but just gritted his teeth and hugged her elder sister's slender waist, refusing to let go no matter what.
"But!"
"Irena is our friend!"
"friend?"
"What about friends?"
"It's a big deal, I just don't have to prepare her dinner in the future, what's the big deal?"
"But!"
"Heizi, are friends more important than competition?"
"snort!"
"Of course it's my sister's match that matters!"
In fact, in Heizi's heart, the older sister is the most important, followed by the elder sister's competition, then her Heizi, and then other people or things, for example, that wild girl named Irena Women or something?
"etc!"
"cold!"
"Don't worry!"
At this time, upon hearing Shirai Kuroko's words, Illya also stopped vigilantly, and as soon as she stretched out her hand, she grabbed the hand of Tohsaka Rin who wanted to follow to the portal, and motioned the other party to look at a certain place first. let alone a competitor.
"elder sister?"
"??"
Seeing the two stop, Tohsaka Sakura and Luvia who were walking in front also turned around suspiciously, and while asking questions with their eyes, they did not forget to look at Misaka Mikoto and Shirai Kuroko who were quarreling together The two looked over.
"Ha ha!"
"They've always been like this, you don't really have to mind."
Sitting on a chair, as a 'non-combatant', Index, who hadn't thought of making trouble with her at all, could only smile dryly, and said this to the four magical girls on the opposite side of the table. explained.
"..."
Meiqin didn't have time to pay attention to what the four people on the other side of the table were thinking, she just tried her best to get rid of Heizi's crap.
"!!"
"open!!"
?
After arguing for a while, Miqin finally became angry when she found that she couldn't get rid of the other party's entanglement, so a trace of lightning began to flash on her forehead, threatening to use force directly.
"Don't let go!"
It's a pity that Heizi didn't even lift up, but still hugged tightly and buried his head on Mikoto's waist.
"you!!"
"Will you let go?"
??
More lightning flashed on Miqin's forehead, and with a crackling sound, she began to threaten with words and actions through gritted teeth.
"!!"
"Don't let it go!!"
"Will not let go even if killed!"
Heizi said stubbornly, and at the same time hugged her hands even tighter. She even buried her head firmly on Miqin's belly that was just full and was still a little bulging at this moment. Ahhh.
"..."
??
Click!
Finally, the impatient Mikoto launched a 100,000-volt electric shock!
Then, Heizi twitched all over his eyes, and at the same time, he slowly let go of his hands and fell down magnificently on the restaurant floor. On the red carpet of gold filigree in the style of the high elves of Erthalas.
"!!"
"Really!"
"Can you stop me?"
Clap your hands, after dealing with Heizi, Miqin is going to turn around and go to Annie's portal.
then...
"ah!"
"hateful!"
After she solved Heizi's troubles, she turned around and realized that the blue portal just now had completely disappeared without a trace.
"Kuroko!"
"It's all your fault!"
Then, Miqin, who was upset in her heart, had no choice but to turn her head in resentment, and glared angrily at Heizi on the ground.
If there were no outsiders here, she might have to give him a million-volt electrotherapy package to make him incontinent!
"Nah!"
"cold!"
"Anyway, with our teacher here, nothing will happen. Otherwise, let's not go?"
At this time, Ilya blinked her beautiful red pupils, and then suggested like this.
Although they had a way to open the portal and follow them, seeing that the competitor, Misaka Mikoto, was not going, she thought about it, and was afraid that something would happen and she wouldn't be able to come back, so she also started Back off.
"Seconded!"
Although she was eliminated, Luvia immediately raised her hand in agreement.
"good!"
"With that guy, Teacher, there, there must be no problem!"
Holding his arms, Tohsaka Rin also thought more and more, and it seemed that their game was more important than saving people or something?
Besides, their little teacher is so powerful, it might be a disservice for them to go, so it's better not to go!
"elder sister…..."
Hearing what the three of them said, although Tohsaka Sakura on the side was a little worried and wanted to say that she would follow, but she was a little afraid of being scolded, so she had to shy away timidly, not daring to talk too much at this time.
———————————
(?ω?) What about the monthly pass?
