Even If I Won?

Within a forest at Star Guidance Academy.

At this moment, Fang Li and the others had arrived at a clearing in the woods.

Fang Li and Ayato Amagiri stood in the clearing, facing each other from afar, both wearing relaxed smiles.

Nearby, Julius, Kiririn Ditou, and Claudia had come along as spectators. As they watched Fang Li and Ayato Amagiri face off in the clearing, their expressions were nowhere near as relaxed as the two combatants'.

"Shouldn't... shouldn't we stop them?" Kiririn Ditou said uneasily. "During the academy festival, students from different academies are dueling in an unofficial match without applying through their school badges. Isn't that a little inappropriate?"

"I agree." Julius folded her arms and said, "Besides, fighting here now would be giving the opponent a chance to figure out that idiot's strengths and weaknesses, wouldn't it?"

"But the same goes for us, doesn't it? We can also use this match to learn about that person's abilities." Claudia seemed rather unconcerned as she smiled. "Besides, even his lover isn't stopping him. We shouldn't be so tactless."

Hearing this, Sylvia, who was also watching from the side, held a skewer of takoyaki in her hand. As she blew on it to cool it down and popped it into her enticing mouth, she turned to the others and smiled faintly.

"There's no need to make it so complicated." Sylvia gave a light laugh. "It's just that my dear doesn't plan to take part in the Griffin Star Martial Festival, so he wants to settle things here with an opponent who has some history with him from the Phoenix Star Martial Festival, right?"

It had to be said that Sylvia truly understood Fang Li.

That was precisely why Fang Li had suddenly wanted to have a match with Ayato Amagiri here.
