Two God's Chosen

[Holy shit, if you don't accept it, fight Boss Caro one-on-one!]

[Damn, if the time limit hadn't been so short, even you and Bai together wouldn't have been enough for Boss Caro!]

[What kind of crappy school is this? Boss Caro, let's quit!]

[Afraid of tarnishing their reputation? Seriously?]

[Students aren't allowed to beat teachers? Is every battle just about connections and social etiquette?]

[Let's keep watching. Maybe he's training Nimel.]

[Why train Nimel by fighting Baby Caro? Baby Caro doesn't have much stamina left now. Is Bai that easy to beat?]

[Being trained means they can attack students whenever they want? The damage Baby Caro took was real.]

[Boss Caro hasn't said anything yet.]

Whenever things were uncertain like this, the comments began to diversify.

Everyone meant well toward Caroso, but they showed it in different ways.

Nimel threw a blue card toward Caroso, intending to help him undo the ropes.

Boom!

A bolt of lightning struck Nimel's card. Her magic was destroyed before it could even be summoned.

Splurt!

Blood burst from Caroso's arm.

Seeing that the Vice Principal was actually this ruthless, Nimel's mind went blank. She did not possess Caroso's composure or combat experience.

But at that moment, profound magical runes emerged around her.

The magical runes around Nimel shone with brilliant blue light.

The card that had been struck by lightning shot toward the Vice Principal.

As the card flew, electric currents crackled wildly across its surface.

"Interesting."

The Vice Principal decisively threw out a card, and a transparent magic shield appeared before him.

Nimel planted her staff into the ground. Lightning flashed in every direction as the water that had yet to recede from the battlefield surged madly toward the Vice Principal.

Nimel realized that she had calmed down!

"This is..." The Vice Principal's pupils shrank as he stared intently at the runes around Nimel. "A God's Chosen?"

Boom!

The lightning orb slammed into the Vice Principal's magic shield and scattered in every direction, while the water reached his feet at just the right moment.

Crackle!

The shattered lightning orb met the water and jolted the Vice Principal.

The Vice Principal placed a card by his lips and gently blew on it.

An extremely frigid breath spread toward Nimel, freezing the water on the ground in an instant.

"Dragon's breath?" Nimel's gaze sharpened.

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh...

The Vice Principal threw out another card. The ice on the ground formed spikes that shot toward Caroso one after another.

Attack what the enemy must save!

Nimel's mind was exceptionally calm now.

If she wanted to resolve this, she could only defeat the person in front of her.

There was no need to worry about her brother. Her brother was the strongest; he would find a way!

This time, Nimel did not concern herself with Caroso. Instead, while the Vice Principal was casting Ice Arrow, she murmured something under her breath.

A gust of wind lifted Nimel into the air, causing her to float.

Those mysterious runes transformed into Arcane Missiles.

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, whoosh...

The missiles hurtled toward the Vice Principal. Seeing them coming, he threw out a card and summoned a magical barrier.

Bang, bang, bang...

The missiles struck the barrier and were all blocked.

Veins bulged on Caroso's forehead as crimson runes appeared around him one by one.

He had actually broken free from the magical chains by force!

"Another God's Chosen?" The Vice Principal nearly cursed aloud.

Two God's Chosen, and neither of them came from the Church?

Although the voices of the gods had vanished long ago, God's Chosen still appeared from time to time. These people received the gods' blessings, which was why the Church still believed the gods had not abandoned them.

Caroso swung his longsword and charged toward the Vice Principal.

"Nimel, cover me!" Caroso shouted.

"Yes!"

Nimel spun her staff. The Arcane Missiles became two, two became four, filling the air in dense numbers.

"Hmph."

The Vice Principal threw out a card, wind rose beneath his feet, and he shot backward.

The Vice Principal threw out another purple card.

A freezing current spread toward the two of them. Both were frozen at the same time, and even the Arcane Missiles were scattered by the ice.

"This ends here!"

The ice on the ground crashed toward them like a plunging waterfall.

Boom!

Caroso broke free again, while Nimel pulled out her final card. "Go!"

A tiny fireball appeared in the air.

Caroso stepped onto the fireball, and the scent of roasted meat rose from his foot...

Caroso's gaze was icy, and he paid it no heed.

Crackle, crackle...

Wherever the fireball passed, water turned into steam.

"Got you!"

Caroso's magic sword slashed toward the Vice Principal.

The Vice Principal's magic shield shattered with a bang.

The longsword stopped at the Vice Principal's forehead. The Vice Principal stared at Caroso with a look of astonishment.

"You lost." A faint smile appeared on Caroso's face. The Vice Principal had used magic power beyond the allowed limit, and Caroso had forced him to use it instinctively.

Even under those circumstances, he still couldn't stop my sword.

Thud...

The magic sword in Caroso's hand vanished without a trace, and he promptly fainted.

Whoosh...

The Vice Principal looked at Caroso lying on the ground, then at Nimel, who had already fainted after casting the fireball, his expression complicated.

"This Nimel is still within the range of normal people. She merely lacks battlefield experience, and her mentality is about the same as an ordinary person's," the Vice Principal said. "But this Caroso... what is going on with him? If my guess is correct, he was already in an overdrawn state when he charged at me in the end, yet he could still fight?"

"I told you, he's a freak." Bai yawned. "Among those at the same level, I've never seen anyone this strong."

"Whew. The first lesson of the term was to see where their limits of potential lay. Here, even injuries are fine, since the simulated dungeon can negate most of the damage." The Vice Principal gave a bitter smile.

"Who would have thought that the two of us would have to use magic power beyond the third rank just to force out his limit?"

"Caroso's Deck is too strange." Bai said, "Those three cards caused me a huge loss. Even I ended up like that, let alone anyone else."

"When he fought me, he no longer had those bizarre cards," the Vice Principal said. "He reached me entirely through his own willpower and strength. Someone so tough and proud uses such strange cards; I have no idea what path he'll take in the future."

"Enough, send them out." Bai spread her hands. "Hopefully they won't cause trouble for future teaching."

"Mm..." The Vice Principal nodded and glanced at Nimel. "Actually, the pressure I gave her still wasn't great enough. She was only anxious, not angry. Otherwise, she would have done even better."

"I think only at the brink of true life and death will she be able to unleash all her power."
