Chapter 203 Something Is Wrong with Claudia
At noon, after lunch, the group went to the Procyon Dome to cheer for Julis and Qilin who were playing in the third round.
"Oh, it's really exciting! This Phoenix Star Martial Arts Festival is really fierce, and it makes people can't wait to jump to the day after tomorrow!"
In the preparation room, several huge space windows floated in front of him. They were broadcasts from other domes. Ye Chui seemed to be infected by the enthusiasm of the audience and became excited.
"There are indeed many masters this year. I agree with you on this point."
Julis, who had just come down from the stage, looked at the space windows in front of her, as if she felt a lot of pressure, and her beautiful face was tense.
Toudou Qilin no longer flinched as before, and looked at the powerful combinations displayed in the window with a serious face.
As expected, Roy and Claudia, Okita Souji and Stella, Aldy and Limsi, and Julis and Toudou Qilin all passed the third round easily and entered the main competition.
In addition, there are the twins from Jielong and the real knights from Saint Galledovas. They are all top masters from each academy, at least opponents that are enough for Julis and Qilin to go all out.
They both have reasons not to lose, and there are so many masters in front of them, especially Roy's group and Okita Souji's group. The strength of these two groups is terrifying. No matter which group is placed in the previous Phoenix Star Martial Festival, it is enough to win the championship. There is no doubt that they are far stronger than imagined. The mood of the two is very solemn at this moment.
"Pa pa!"
At this time, Claudia suddenly clapped her hands to attract the attention of several people.
"Okay, it's useless to think hard now. What opponent we will meet next depends on tomorrow's draw. No matter what troubles we have, throw them to tomorrow. We all finally entered the finals today. It's better to be happy?"
"No, I think it's easy for you to enter the finals..."
Ye Chui made a subtle complaint beside him.
"Especially Roy and Claudia, the first round ended in five seconds, the second round in three seconds, and the third round in thirteen seconds. How could it be so hard?"
"It doesn't matter what kind of opponent you will face next. It all depends on my luck. You should pray that I will have good luck tomorrow!"
Claudia shook her white index finger and smiled carelessly.
Ye Chui blinked.
He thought that with Claudia's personality, she would smile and release the pressure on him, asking him what the problem was.
The president is particularly tolerant today!
"Claudia makes sense. It's useless to worry now. Let's wait until the draw is over tomorrow!"
Julis stood up, and her tense face relaxed.
"That's right, just like practicing swords, you have to relax and tense in moderation."
Tou Teng Qilin also smiled and nodded, agreeing with Claudia's statement.
Roy glanced at Claudia and then at Ye Chui.
"...Then let's go back too."
The preliminaries and the main competition of the Star Martial Festival have two different schedules.
Although both are elimination systems, the schedule of the preliminaries is decided by the operating committee. Which team will play against which team and which team will be placed in which venue are all decided by the committee from the perspective of the popularity of the program.
But the schedule of the main competition is different and is not decided by the committee.
After the third round of the seventh day, there will be a day off on the eighth day.
During this rest day, each academy will send its own representative to draw lots under the auspices of the committee, and the schedule of the main competition will be determined by the draw.
Then the first round of the main competition will be held on the ninth day, which is the fourth round of the entire Star Martial Festival.
So tomorrow is a holiday for the Star Martial Festival, and it is also a halftime break. In addition to Claudia who will participate in the draw as a representative.
The person who becomes the draw representative is generally the student council president of each academy, or at least the vice president.
"Then let's go to the Aries Hotel to celebrate!"
"Are you serious? That's the largest hotel in the school war city. The private rooms must be booked at least one month in advance?"
"Hehe, I can use my mother's hotline to book now!"
"The daughter of the evil consortium's highest executive...!"
Julis cast an envious and jealous look at Claudia.
At Claudia's insistence, everyone went to the Aries Hotel to hold a small celebration dinner.
This act of opening champagne at halftime made Roy feel like he was setting a flag that could not be established.
After eating and drinking, everyone went back to school and dispersed.
"Julis, can you say a few words?"
In front of the girls' dormitory, Claudia suddenly called Julis.
"What?"
Julis turned around and looked over in confusion.
"I just want to ask, do you like Roy?"
"What——?! What are you saying out of the blue!"
When Claudia asked without any warning, Julis felt a heat surge from her body, rushing to her limbs and bones, burning her face red.
Her face was full of ugliness, as if she had received a huge shock and was about to flee in embarrassment.
"Hehe, I'm just asking."
Claudia smiled softly, her eyebrows and eyes were full of smiles.
"But, now that you ask, I have an answer~!"
If she had no feelings, Julis would not have reacted so much to such a question. This reaction, like being stepped on, just showed that she cared about this question very much.
"What do you want to say!"
Julis was full of shame and anger, and her voice could not help but doubled.
"Nothing, I just want to tell you that Roy is in trouble. If it is convenient for you, I hope you can help him under the premise of protecting your own safety, that's all."
Claudia smiled slightly, and said indifferently.
"Although Qilin is a little stronger, the child is still too young. Even she herself is worrying, let alone helping others."
"..."
Julis was silent for a while, and then looked at Claudia with suspicion.
"Claudia, are you not right?"
She and Claudia have known each other for many years.
Although they have never been very familiar with each other, they can be regarded as understanding each other.
Given her personality, if Roy had any trouble, she would probably go to help him in person, and when everything was over, she would come back to find them, pretending to show off to them unintentionally, and after seeing their frustrated and angry expressions, she would make a hypocritical apology with an expression that said I didn't mean it.
"Maybe, that's all I have to say, you should go and rest quickly."
Claudia kept smiling, waved to Julis, and then left the dormitory building and walked towards her own dormitory building.
Julis looked at Claudia's back as she walked away, frowning deeply.
After a while, she took out her cell phone from her pocket.
"...Hello, it's me."
