Ray left Rena and Emi in Kyouko's office to absorb the item Ray has given to them. While Aiko and Kyouko stayed with them in case something went wrong during the absorption process.

  Right now, his biggest priority was to find the last member of their 4 party team. It wasn't that he didn't want to join the championship, but looking back on his experience of reading more than 300 transmigration web novels, there would be something big happened during the championship.

  ??

  And he would save his power and focus on that. It's not like he was on a revenge mission or something that needed him to win the championship, though. Furthermore, this could be good training and experience for the ladies.

  Ray was currently heading towards the maple-leaf academy. The best location to find his last partner will be the academy, and since he was leaving the academy during the lunch break, the students should still be gathering around the school this time……

  [ DING!!! It was detected the host was having a hard time choosing the last member.]

  [ A new mission will be issued.]

  [ Choose your faction (Elsa/Jean)]

  [ Rewards: The affection of the chosen faction +20]

  [ Penalties: Kyouko and Anna stamina x100 for a week.].

  Ray looked at the mission and paled at the penalty notice. What a really harsh one. If this was truly happened, he would rather hide away for one week. Even with the help of the ginseng, handling those 2 mature women with stamina x100 was too much.

  Damn, his kidney started to get hurt when he imagined the penalty.

  ' Aina, it's not a complaint, but I'm rather curious why did you issue this mission? Shouldn't it be fine if I were to choose a normal girl to be my last team member?'

  [ Well, to be honest, Aina also didn't want to issue this mission. But this mission was issued after a harsh negotiation with the will of the world. They said it would be harmful to the world if you were to make another normal girl interfere with the story's progression. Don't worry, though. Aina had made sure that they spit out a good compensation.]

  [ DING!!! Obtain the wish-granting dragon heart x7]

  [ With this item, the host could tamper with someone's status 1 time, please choose carefully because this item was really hard to get.]

  OP!!! This is too OP!!! Ray couldn't help but feel happy with this result. It seems Aina's blackbelliness also made the will of the world spit some blood.

  [ Please don't slander Aina host, Aina's belly is as white as snow, okay!?]

  [ Back to the topic, do you have any idea on which faction you will choose, host?]

  ' Not yet. Let's go and find some information about them. That's also the reason why I am going to school right now.'

  …


  While Ray was still busy pondering who will be the last member of their team, let's return to when Ray rejected Elsa's invitation——

  " That guy, how dare he…"

  " Calm down, George. Being angry right now wouldn't help. Let's just teach that boy a lesson later on how to respect his upperclassman. Now our priority is how to make Elsa stop crying."

  While George was still angry at Ray, Elsa was crying on their side.

  " Elsa, you don't need to worry about a guy like him. You were just kind to invite him into your team. There are many people outside there who would be happy to be in your team."

  Even as a cunning bastard, Adrian was still one of the top rankers in the school, and no one can deny that this guy has the looks to be popular. He came to Elsa's side and used his handkerchief to wipe out her tear.

  " Thanks, Adrian. I'm just sad that he seems to be bothered by us. I feel bad that we have been disturbing him."

  Elsa looked at Adrian and tried her best to smile. She knew grieving wouldn't give her anything, so she must try to be strong.

  " That's better. You look pretty when you smile."

  That sentence from Adrian made Elsa blushed. Even a super-dense girl would blush if an ikemen said that in her face.

  " Th-Thank you…"

  " Yeah, that motherfucker, he better hope that I won't find her mother and fuck her ass right in front of him."

  George being the unruly guy he was, didn't know how to read the situation. He swore bad words at Ray and made Elsa's mood which had just recovered because of Adrian, turned sullen once more.

  " I'm sorry, but I need some time to calm myself."

  Elsa stood up and ran away from the two. Now she felt really bad toward Ray. Because of her egoistical purpose to invite him, Ray's family might get targeted by George and Adrian's families.

  Seeing Elsa ran away, Adrian could only sigh inwardly.

  ' That girl, she is too kind. That's why we must protect her at any cost, Ray Vermillion, huh? I'll soon teach that bastard a lesson.'

  …


  Back to Elsa, the girl was running down the School's hallway with tears in her eyes. She needs to quickly find Ray was all she could think of right now.

  But because she was too focused, she failed to notice someone was coming in the opposite direction.

  *Slam*

  "Ouch, I'm sorry. I was rushing and didn't watch carefully."

  Elsa cleared her skirt and apologized to the person she bumped into.

  However, when she looked into the person, cold ran through her spines.

  It was Jean Adiratna. The fifth-ranked in the school, and also the one who almost killed her dragon.

  In front of her, Jean Adiratna was standing aloof, without any trace of guilty after bumping hard into someone.

  " Be more careful next time. Someone in your place should know how to position herself."

  Her face was so cold when she said those words, and Elsa couldn't help but get goosebumps at Jean.

  " I'm sorry, I wouldn't…"

  Elsa couldn't even finish her words when she felt her vitality was slowly diminished.

  " Ahh, this…"

  " Elsa!!!!!" x2

  And from behind, Adrian and George were rushing with their all towards Elsa's side.
