I Hope We Get Another Chance Next Time

"Oh dear, I lost..."

In the players' lounge of the Sirius Dome, Einest slumped onto the table, looking utterly dejected, as if he had no strength left and didn't want to move an inch.

Camilla, on the other hand, had lost her previous displeasure and felt a sense of relief. She said, "Although it's a bit of a pity that we lost, this match allowed Ardy and Limshi to perform perfectly. The data and intelligence we've gathered are enough. Are you satisfied?"

For Camilla, participating in the "Phoenix Star Martial Festival" was simply a way to test her own creations; there was no other reason.

If we can win, that would be the best outcome.

But if you lose, there's nothing to be discouraged about.

After all, when Ardy in its combined state, its performance and power will be enhanced by the energy of the Omni-element Crystal, and even the performance of its weapons will be boosted, which is equivalent to using the Pure Star Imperial Armament.

However, the existence of the Pure Star Imperial Armament is incompatible with the Lion Faction's ideology.

Therefore, Camilla viewed Ardy's defeat as a good outcome.

At least Camilla gathered the necessary information, rather than relying on forces with conflicting ideologies to overcome obstacles and win.

Camilla would rather accept defeat than accept the latter.

Only Einest remained resentful.

"They were hoping to win, and they even promised that Ardy and Limshi could attend our school," Einest said, extremely dissatisfied. "So, their plan has been completely ruined?"

"Anyway, you weren't planning to give up, were you?" Camilla sighed, revealing Einest's true feelings. "For you, Ardy and Limshi are far from the end. There will definitely be more outstanding and perfect works in the future. You plan to have them go to school together then, so why not save them for the Star Wars Festival and win the championship?"

"Ara ara~~" Einest immediately stuck out his tongue like a child caught red-handed, and said mischievously, "You've been found out."

"You..." Camilla was both amused and exasperated.

At that moment, the door to the lounge opened.

Ardy and Limshi walked in from outside, one laughing heartily, the other with a cold expression, creating a stark contrast.

Einest's face immediately lit up with a smile, as if the rain had stopped, and she skipped and hopped to greet them, shouting, "You're finally back! Let Mom see how badly you've been damaged!"

Camilla nodded and said to Ardy and Limshi, "Thank you for your hard work."

Upon hearing this, Limshi immediately lowered her head and said, "I'm very sorry, Master, we lost."

"Don't worry about it." Camilla shook her head and said, "My goal is not for you to win, but to achieve enough results."

"Yeah, yeah." Einest seemed to have completely forgotten his previous behavior and words, and said with a grin, "Anyway, the Star Wars Festival is not a one-time event, we can just come again next time."

Before Limshi could even respond to Einest's words, Ardy nodded magnanimously and said with great composure, "Master is right. Losing is not the most important thing. I really enjoyed this match. That human named Fang Li was so interesting. Let's fight him again next time!"

"Shut up, you piece of scrap metal." Limshi said coldly, "You have no right to say that after losing the match. You lost so badly even in your combined form. Scrap metal is indeed scrap metal. Since you're almost scrap anyway, just throw you in the recycling bin."

In fact, what Limshi said wasn't entirely wrong.

Although the weapons that Limshi had transferred had been removed, Ardy was covered in wounds and cracks, looking as fragile as if it would shatter at the slightest touch.

This made Ardy somewhat dejected, and he said in a low voice, "Don't say that. We didn't want things to turn out this way either. What can we do?"

Einest and Camilla exchanged a glance.

In fact, both of them knew why Ardy had become so miserable.

The cracks on his body weren't caused by the final clash with Fang Li, but rather because Ardy, while exerting his full power, couldn't fully control the power of the Omni-element Crystal within him, resulting in a slight outburst of power that put an excessive burden on Ardy body.

"But it will never be like this again next time." Ardy seemed to have regained his fighting spirit, clenching his fists as he said, "After this battle, I have much better control over the power within me than before. That's right, I have become stronger than before!"

"Oh!" Einest exclaimed in surprise, "Is this true?"

"Absolutely true, Master!" Ardy gave a thumbs up and laughed heartily, "If the school badge hadn't been damaged back then, we could have used even greater power to fight, and we wouldn't have lost to that human then, right? What a pity!"

really.

If Ardy's school badge hadn't been damaged at that time, Fang Li might not have been the ultimate winner.

That wasn't just because Ardy was able to control his power better, but also because Fang Li's all-out attack had exhausted his Star Pulse Energy, leaving him unable to fight again.

Of course, if things really turn out that way, Fang Li will also go all in.

Don't forget, Fang Li also has a hidden card.

A card even more powerful than Bō Xié's, destined to be the most suitable trump card for Fang Li.

"I'm starting to get interested in that guy too."

Einest smiled happily and left with these words.

"I hope we'll have another chance to play together next time."

Meanwhile, exhausted Fang Li and Cecily returned to the players' lounge, lay down on the sofas, and looked at each other's miserable state, both of them letting out bitter smiles.

It was described as a terrible scene, but in reality, Fang Li was just too exhausted, while Cecily had suffered some minor injuries.

One of them nearly exhausted his Star Pulse Energy, while the other was caught in the initial attack after Ardy's fusion. It's understandable that things turned out this way.

"I never expected things to turn out so badly just as we entered the official season."

Cecily said this with a look of complete relief on her face.

The fact that she encountered such a powerful opponent gave Cecily no reason to complain.

As for Fang Li, he stared at the ceiling, lost in thought.
