Ninth-Order Tier-up Tournament

"Wow! You actually stayed in the lab all night!"

The next morning, when Shen Sui walked out of the laboratory, Alice, who was happily having breakfast in the dining hall, spotted him and spoke with sparkling eyes.

The corner of Shen Sui's mouth twitched. He had no idea how to respond.

So he skillfully resorted to the method adults were best at!

"Did you finish the homework I assigned yesterday?!"

Alice was dumbfounded.

What kind of decent person checked homework first thing in the morning?!

"If you haven't finished it, you're not allowed to go out and play today." Shen Sui said with a dark expression.

"How could you do this?! I already arranged a duel." Alice puffed out her cheeks.

The so-called homework Shen Sui had assigned Alice was actually knowledge related to the Gundam World.

According to the intelligence brought back by the Exploration Bureau and countless Soul Card Masters on the forums, corporations would most likely serve as motherships for deployed Gundams in the Gundam World.

Meanwhile, based on various clues, Harald's final body fragment had also been sighted in that universe.

So, after matters on Dawn Continent had finally settled, Shen Sui turned his attention to that world.

Alice had traveled through so many Soul Card Worlds before, but she had never truly encountered outer space.

Shen Sui worried that she might not adapt to combat in such an environment, so before starting the next journey, he needed to give Alice some relevant training.

In truth, this training had begun long ago, but Alice's magical brain clearly had a hard time understanding things from the technological side, so progress had been slow.

Fortunately, Alice merely struggled to understand and was not much of a learner; she was not stupid, so there had still been some progress.
