Ron and Ralph's Defeat

However, the third round of the competition will not begin so soon.

The students' competition consisted of five rounds.

The third round determined 3 players, with 1 player receiving a bye.

Two players were selected in the fourth round.

The fifth round will determine the final winner between the two contestants.

The current situation is that four players were determined in the third round, and one player received a bye.

That means there will be 5 contestants in the fourth round, 2 of whom will be decided and 1 will receive a bye.

The fifth round will determine the final winner among the three contestants.

This will undoubtedly take more time.

Most importantly, the fourth and fifth rounds were originally scheduled for the following day.

The college competition for first-year students tests obstacle course speed and superpower confrontation.

It lasted three days in total.

But Ron didn't know that he wasn't like the Ron in the novel who was influenced by Basil and became like Rita Skeeter, whose mind was only on food, Jordan, Emma, Ralph, and the mission.

"What? Tomorrow?" He was comforting Emma, telling her not to look so sad because she lost to Andre, when he heard this news. "The list is already out, why is it still tomorrow!"

He was rubbing his fists in anticipation of teaching that "The Polarity Man II" a lesson, but it turns out he'll have to wait until tomorrow.

In his view, Emma could simply shrink down and crawl into Andre's body, then grow bigger and win.

However, due to the competition, the relatively clean entrances such as the ears and nose were protected by the helmet, leaving only the anus, which Emma was unwilling to enter.

If Li Lin knew Ron's thoughts, he would definitely think he was too young. Why not try the front axle hole? The black-robed Ant-Man had done it before.

Shrinking it to 0.2 inches is not difficult.

In fact, Li Lin can do it, but it's not as wonderful as a fairy tale. When everything is magnified, the skin's pores, dandruff, oil, body odor, etc., will become extremely obvious.

Unless you have a strong taste for such things, it's best to avoid doing this.

The reason why wizards in the Harry world can play normally after taking Shrinking Potion is because they are not small enough, and they are usually facing Magical Creatures that are small to begin with, such as fairies.

Emma from the original world was the same; she was two inches taller.

If Emma did what Ron wanted, she'd probably vomit her bile.

I won, but I think I'll faint from exhaustion.

But Ron clearly didn't think that way.

"Emma, don't worry, I'll definitely beat that scoundrel to a pulp tomorrow."

"Come on, Weasley." Jordan was a little jealous. "Setting the competition for the next day and releasing the roster in advance is also to test the students' ability to train specifically based on information about their opponents and defeat them."

"I suggest you apply for a virtual training room as soon as possible to avoid any mishaps."

"Me?" Ron shrugged, almost laughing out loud. "I'm an S-rank, and he's just an A-rank."

Meanwhile, in the virtual training room.

The mentioned Andre and Golden Boy were inside, lying in a device resembling a game pod from a science fiction movie.

"Andre, don't make the same mistake I did tomorrow."

"Because they discovered that Weasley's Venom had no effect on me, they became careless and underestimated him."

"I forgot the result, it didn't work, except when my whole body was engulfed in flames exceeding 3000 degrees Celsius."

"His Corrosive Field was also overlooked."

"Even though I have better mobility, in close combat, my heat was swallowed up by his force field."

"But it wasn't without its gains. The flames I created reached a temperature of 5505°C, and it took Weasley ten seconds to extinguish them completely."

"I obtained the data on his force field."

"Given the performance of the chromium-titanium alloy you're equipped with, as long as you maintain the vibration frequency at 1000Hz, it won't be difficult for you. Although your metal control ability isn't as Magneto's, your precision is higher."

"If Weasley underestimates his opponent and breaks through his barrier, bypassing his tough spider legs and severing his neck, you may win."

[Golden Boy] said this while importing data.

Soon, in the virtual world, Ron appeared, wielding eight Spider Spear and displaying a lush green shield.

"Come on!"

[Golden Boy] looked at Andre, who was training, with concern in his eyes.

He wasn't so dedicated to Andre's training because of friendship or resentment over his defeat to Ron.

In the original world, his friendship with Andre was intertwined with love.

That's why he didn't care at all when he knew his girlfriend was having an affair with Andre.

In his single world, his friendships have almost completely soured.

Even though his younger brother had also made it to the third round, he chose to help Andre.

With the principal's authority, Loki noticed that the two were in the same virtual reality. He glanced at Ron, who was bragging to Emma and Jordan on the monitor, and thought, "This is going to be tough."

He was the only one among the seven to receive a bye.

So he remained in the monitoring room.

"Hmm~ This is" a figure that had been trending on social media today, which caught Loki's attention, "Ryan Axe."

"The training room came after the first murder, the first kidnapping, and the first love. Now it's a virtual training room?"

He quickly started typing away on the keyboard, which, combined with his high hairline, made him look very professional.

At this moment, he was more like a programmer than the god of Asgard's trickery and God of Lies.

Soon, the backend was retrieved.

He found the virtual reality that Ryan had created.

"This structure"

This is clearly an underground structure; the walls are 5 meters wide and gleam with a metallic sheen.

The only entrance and exit is winding and riddled with traps.

"Prison?"

"I mean, can she lock our house in jail?"

The phrase "Ryan's trending topic" immediately popped into Loki's mind.

The footage shows Ryan's actions confirming his suspicions; he appears to be practicing avoiding triggering the alarm by deliberately moving in one direction.

"He's going to save [Stormfront]!"

Ten minutes later.

Inside Ron and Ralph's dormitory.

"What?" Ron's voice rose sharply, "That lecherous brat is willing to risk his life for lust!"

This is just as absurd as Neville falling in love with Bellatrix, practicing the Patronus Charm, and then breaking her out of prison just to get close to her.

They were about to kidnap him, and they almost succeeded.

After barely escaping, they voluntarily offered themselves up again.

"Case solved! Case solved! That lecherous brat is Lois Ryan! Always courting danger and creating openings for Superman! If Loki hadn't thought to check, this brat might have actually committed suicide! And then Superman, also known as Homelander, would have turned evil."

The others stroked their chins.

Although this is the most unreliable thing Ron said, there's a reason why it might actually be true.

"Loki, what do we need to do?"

Loki shook his head. "You don't need to do anything. My operation records will be manually reviewed. Stan Edgar didn't just give me the authority so easily. Without me, Ryan's actions might have been overlooked, but definitely not now."

"Are you sure?" Magneto said. "Why don't we have Susan or Katy remind you that you got a bye, which would be a good opportunity to go to New York?"

"I'm sure," Loki said, suddenly raising his arm and showing the glowing back of his hand to the crowd. "I'm even more sure now. Look, he's contacted me."

"I hope this kid's bottom doesn't get a sore spot," Ron said gleefully. "My two older brothers' bottoms are already half ruined. Oh, I almost forgot, this 'Soldier Boy' has a much worse temper than my dad's."

Snap snap snap~

Inside the Waterfall Mansion, the sounds of splashing and crying could be heard incessantly.

"Daddy, I won't do it again! I won't do it again!"

[Soldier Boy] seems to echo the image of countless parents disciplining their children, all finding the same spot: the buttocks, a fleshy area where children are less likely to get hurt but will still feel the same pain.

His hand seemed to move in a phantom-like motion, continuously striking Ryan's buttocks, whose pants had been pulled down.

Ryan is actually feeling more ashamed right now.

His body was much stronger than the one in his dream.

In front of his mother, he, who considered himself an adult, had his pants pulled down and was greeted with the long-awaited fatherly love.

This shame almost turned him into a red person.

This concealed the fact that his buttocks were not actually injured or red.

"Jean, let it go." The Crimson Countess hugged her husband's arm. "He just made a mistake that every man in the world would make."

[Soldier Boy]:???

All men in the world, this guy is still a boy, isn't he?

Peeking sideways. jpg

Yeah, it's not even fully grown yet.

The gaze that the "Soldier Boy" gave xx deeply provoked Ryan, who was already somewhat ambushed because of being beaten. He lost control of himself and flew away from his father's knee.

I hate you all!

"I am a man, a real man!"

He left those words behind, then put on his pants, took off with his toes pointed inward, and disappeared from the room.

The Soldier Boy and the Crimson Countess looked at each other in the room, their faces showing joy.

"Lena! Did you see that?! Ryan can fly! Just like John! I'm going to tell John this great news!"

——

Li Lin, who was having sex with Kate in her single room, had no choice but to stop.

"Yes, Ryan can fly? Wow, that's amazing. I have to go now, goodbye."

"He can fly now, your brother?"

"I can make you fly right now."

"What I mean is the sexual maturity hypothesis, my thesis, that Superman abilities often awaken when they reach sexual maturity."

What? I've been grilling you for ages, and all you can think of is a thesis?

Li Lin was speechless. "So?"

"I mean, could I interview your brother to collect data for his thesis?"

"I'll let you interview my 'brother' right now!"

"Ouch, no—"

——

The next day.

It's rare for Super High School not to Transfiguration, but Ron still didn't get a good night's sleep.

"Jordan!"

Unless a man is Dumbledore figure, he will definitely be awakened.

The sweet young woman he was embracing yesterday has turned into a muscular man today.

"What are you yelling about?" Emma yawned. "You went to bed too early. I used your girlfriend, um, boyfriend."

Ron felt his male pride had been challenged and stammered, "I'm not even in your league."

Knock knock knock—

A sudden knock on the door interrupted the conversation.

Jordan opened her sleepy eyes and transformed into a woman. "Who is it?"

"It's me," Ralph's voice rang out. "I'm looking for Ron."

Ten minutes later, in a corner of the cafeteria.

"What is it?" Ron asked, stuffing a fried chicken leg into his mouth.

"Why did you have to come to the cafeteria to ask me this?" Ralph was speechless.

"Because this matter is obviously unrelated to the mission." Ron took a sip of his milk tea. "I also need to eat something to vent my frustration."

"Are you really Ron?" Ralph couldn't help but look him up and down, suspecting that he was a Transfiguration in disguise.

"If it were really urgent," Ron waved the back of his hand, "You would probably have called me directly. So, what is it?"

"I need your Venom," Ralph said. "My opponent is Katy. I can influence her crossing by 'snake-like' medium through her fusion, but that effect is limited. I need a trump card to defeat her."

"It's just a game," Ron said, surprised. "Does it really need to be taken this seriously?"

"Yes, we need to," Ralph said. "Don't you really need to study your opponents? You're not getting proper rest the day before the game, and you're messing around with Jordan and Emma."

"Don't worry, we'll win." Ron nodded confidently.

——

Heh heh—

Ron clutched his neck, the words "Don't worry, we'll win" echoing in his mind.

How could that be? If he could break through his barrier, why didn't he resist instead of waiting until now?

He stared at the man in front of him whose left arm and right leg he had severed, and then everything went black.

From the stands, they watched Ron collapse, utterly exhausted.

Emma grasped Jordan's hand, her eyes slightly red, "He lost because of me."

"I knew it." Loki chuckled. "When your information has been completely deduced, and there is no absolute advantage, arrogance and carelessness will only lead to failure."

He glanced at Emma, "But from another perspective, he also won the game."

"This is a good lesson," Magneto remarked. "However, I never imagined that the child's abilities would be so precise."

"Ron was too careless," Ralph said. "And too reserved. If he had been willing to use the force field to digest Andre's body, he could have survived through the feedback energy and turned the tide."

"Furthermore, if the Venom were injected when it first penetrated Andre's body, Andre would at most be able to die together with him."

"It was because he was thinking of avenging Emma that he delayed for too long."

"Superman are not ordinary humans; they often have limbs that cannot be severed."

Ralph launched into a long speech, but it sounded more like he was talking to himself.

Katy noticed that he kept glancing at her as he spoke.

I'm not Ron.

Katy said to herself.

She got up because

The next match is between her and Ralph.

She's not one to procrastinate; she'll get things done quickly and efficiently.

Huh?

Katy's body blurred, and her fingers, inserted into Ralph's chest, got stuck, leaving her puzzled.

"It's time." Ralph's shirt fell off and transformed into snakes of various colors, raising their heads to surround the surroundings, but the most eye-catching thing was the snake tattoo on his snow-white back.

It swam, then disappeared beneath the skin.

But Katy's suddenly blackened palms revealed its whereabouts.

"I won," Ralph said.

"No, I won."

As he heard Katy's voice, he noticed that his skin had also turned black, and Katy's hand had detached from his body, with drops of bright red blood falling onto the metal floor.

Then everything went black.

Less than a minute had passed.
