[Trouble Occurs?]
Vice President Marze displayed suspicious behaviors.
And now, 《The One Who Knows the Truth of This World》 suddenly appeared—how were these two situations connected?
…I figured I should just ask her. I was about to leave Jarvis and head towards “The One Who Knows the Truth of This World,” but in the next moment, she vanished unexpectedly.
“Huh?”
To disappear in an instant… Did she use some magic?
“What’s the matter, Barrett?” Jarvis, next to me, asked, probably noticing that I was looking around.
“No, it’s nothing.”
“Hmm… I can understand why you’re nervous.”
“Huh?”
“Well, your turn is the one after the next, right?”
“Ah.”
Oh right.
We were in the middle of the martial arts tournament.
Andrei’s exhibition match had ended, and a normal match was underway. Once it was over, it would be the exhibition match between Madeline and a student of Randolph Academy, then President Annette and me.
“I heard her swordplay is quite well-known. If you overly rely on the holy sword’s power, you might find yourself in a world of pain, you know?”
“You’re right. I need to stay vigilant.”
I shifted my focus to the martial arts tournament.
《The One Who Knows the Truth of This World》— Was she planning to sabotage the festival? But what would she gain from it?
I couldn’t even begin to guess because her goals were a mystery.
What was her aim in revealing herself?
Or did she just want to mock me?
While contemplating “The One Who Knows the Truth of This World,” a loud cheer brought me back to my senses.
Apparently, the results of the ongoing exhibition match were in.
“Grr~… I almost had her.”
Madeline, having run out of HP, seemed dissatisfied with her loss.
“Your mistake early on in the match left a lasting impact.”
“Yes… and the opponent was so fast.”
“But you got used to her speed halfway through and managed to corner her, albeit not for long. Not bad, all things considered.”
“Yes, you did well.”
Tayte, Andrei, and Jarvis comforted Madeline.
It sounded like she had a tough time in the early part of the match.
Madeline was the sole second-year student on the student council and ranked among the top students in her grade. For her opponent to defeat her, they must be quite skilled.
“After the next match… it’s finally time for the showdown between the student council presidents.”
“You can do it, Barrett.”
“Yeah.”
As long as Tayte cheered me on, I would never lose.
While I was re-energizing myself,
“Huh?”
At that moment, I noticed a commotion on the Randolph Academy side.
“What? Why do they seem panicked?”
“Did something happen?”
As the student council president, I should ask what was going on.
I brought Tayte and Jarvis with me and approached the Randolph Academy students to ask them to explain the situation.
And that’s when I realized.
President Annette was nowhere to be seen.
