"That was just a mistake."
Serie tossed the volleyball up again, a little embarrassed. This time, she controlled the force of the toss, making sure it wasn't too high or too low, and gently tapped it towards her opponent.
Having failed the first time, Serie successfully hit the volleyball towards Übel this time. As a master of close-combat magic, Übel was exceptionally agile and immediately swatted the flying volleyball towards Frieren.
Facing the volleyball hurtling towards her, Frieren earnestly raised her little hand, trying to hit the ball back. Under Fern's worried gaze, Frieren was successfully hit by the volleyball again.
"Waaah... I don't know how to play."
Frieren touched her forehead, which had been hit by the volleyball again, looking dejected. She wasn't really suited for this sport.
"Lady Frieren, hide behind me."
Fern touched Frieren's injured forehead with concern. She had lost the determination to win the championship, but a fighting spirit still burned within her.
As the volleyball was tossed high by Fern, a powerful shot slammed back. Li Yan's eyes widened slightly. It was 'Da Lei' swaying. The amplitude of the sway made Li Yan involuntarily shift his gaze toward Methode's location.
Facing Fern's powerful dunk, Methode suddenly rose up and slammed it in, and luckily it was in shallow water where the water pressure wasn't too high, making it easy to jump.
'Big thunder!'
Li Yan's eyes widened again. Methode's vision was also very impressive, especially with the swimsuit. This match made Li Yan reluctant to look away.
In this match, Li Yan had no interest in the result. He found a seat, sat down, and watched calmly. Recoil control was a fundamental skill for a genius mage like him.
The outcome was decided from the moment Frieren made her move. Even with her Grandmaster's later efforts, she was powerless to turn the tide. As an MVP-level player, Fern was equivalent to two people, but facing Methode and Laufen's close-range attackers, and Übel's assault, even Fern, with her high HP, couldn't carry Frieren, who was essentially AFK.
Seeing the 'big thunder' swaying back and forth, Li Yan already felt some discomfort in her nose. A red trickle of fluid flowed out, and Li Yan hurriedly wiped it away.
"Senior brother, I saw it! You must have been shocked by my mature demeanor."
Frieren puffed out her chest with pride. Although she was useless in the game, she felt she had done a great job by blocking several volleyballs.
Uh... um.
Looking at the self-righteous and arrogant Frieren, Li Yan couldn't bear to tell her the truth. Frieren had already tried her best; although she was ordinary, she was still quite adorable.
"Next is halftime. The final match will be between the Demons Clan and the Close-Range Magic Team."
During the halftime break, drinks and afternoon tea were plentiful. Several Mechanical Maids arrived with all sorts of afternoon tea desserts, and Kanne and Lawine began frantically replenishing their energy.
"It's so delicious, Li Yan's desserts."
"It's even better than the high-end Western chef I hire at home."
"Donut!"
The women happily began to eat, but Li Yan didn't have a very good appetite. The leaping thunder alone had made him lose his composure, and he somewhat missed the atmosphere of being buried in the 'thunder' back then.
Afternoon tea break ended, and the Demons Team and the Melee Magic Team officially began their final match. The champion's reward was to fulfill the wishes of every member, a prize that suited everyone's desires.
Aura served first, and despite her delicate little hands, her serve was exceptionally powerful and well-placed, causing Übel, who was responding, to abandon his dismissive attitude.
As Übel's shot rose, Line blocked it without hesitation, securing the first point of the match.
"So strong, I can't even see the movements."
"The opponent is Warrior type."
"We need to get serious."
Methode and his group watched Line was currently enjoying great popularity, with wary eyes, while Line simply gave Aura a high -Aura with a calm expression.
"It's coming, watch out."
Übel, driven by a sense of revenge, launched a direct attack towards Aura. Faced with this attack, Aura remained disdainful, standing proudly in place, clearly not taking the attack seriously.
As Line suddenly flashed in front of Aura, the volleyball that was rushing towards them was directly countered, and the target was Laufen was in the corner.
The volleyball, launched in a counterattack, flew through the air in a beautiful arc. Laufen leaped up, stepping on the shallow water, and hit the volleyball towards Solitär, who appeared to be at a disadvantage.
A powerful volleyball strike came crashing down, Solitär smiled as she prepared to return it. With a gentle tap, the surging volleyball turned back towards Laufen like an obedient puppy.
"Wow, that's amazing! It's like they've completely mastered all the technical aspects of volleyball."
Frieren, who was watching from outside, hugged her swimming ring and sighed with admiration, while Li Yan lay contentedly on Fern's lap and watched. There was no way around it; her good daughter was obedient and knew how to care for her Godfather.
The match was very intense. Übel, as an agile player, made sudden attacks, while Laufen was an all-rounder with a strong physique and speed, able to quickly catch Übel's volleyballs after his mistakes and provide protection and support. Methode was the core, not only the AI but also the main DPS, corresponding to Solitär.
The match was very intense, and several volleyballs were damaged, but Li Yan had no shortage of volleyballs. Whether it was a gold or silver volleyball, he could retrieve it using Space Magic.
As the final countdown ended, the Demons Clan team won the championship with a 5-point lead, while Übel and her teammates could only regretfully go to their rest area to eat dessert and replenish their energy.
Laufen wasn't too bothered by the failure; she was busy devouring a plate of donuts of various flavors, clearly a donut killer.
Although Übel was disappointed, he didn't dwell on it; victory and defeat are common occurrences in war.
Metti watched Aurasolitil and the others with great interest. Although she was a demon hunter, she still felt a sense of goodwill towards the friendly demon lolis in the human world. After all, no one understood the demon race better than her own. Being able to live peacefully with humans for so many years and contribute to the human world, such demons were truly rare treasures.
"Solitär, Aura, Line, congratulations on winning the championship! Is there anything you wish to achieve?"
Li Yan chuckled and patted the heads of the three of them.
