A Journey Across the Myriad Worlds Beginning with The Irregular at Magic High School

Just as William had said, the clone possessed the ability to act independently and followed Kirin out.

Then things got to this point, with William arriving here with two other people.

"Even if you say that, the distance your Clone can control is still far too far!"

"I've never heard of anyone being able to maintain the energy of Clone while moving it perfectly across a distance of two kilometers."

It was Julis who said those words!

She kept stirring her coffee with a teaspoon, her voice carrying a hint of bitterness.

She knew perfectly well that William's move wasn't actually meant to intimidate her.

But after witnessing such a terrifying gap in strength, she truly didn't know if she still had a slim chance of winning by signing up for this tournament!

You should know that the person she and Ayato Amagiri were training with as a hypothetical opponent was sitting right in front of her.

Because the moment the contestant list was released, she knew it!

William is the biggest obstacle on her road to victory; if she wants to win, she has to overcome this mountain no matter what.

But at that time, she wasn't entirely without confidence!

At that time, she thought that if Ayato Amagiri went all out, coupled with the enhancement of the Orga Lux "Ser Veresta", she would be able to achieve her goal.

She then used her abilities to divide the battlefield, quickly eliminating Kirin and ultimately creating a two-against-one situation.

But things are different now!

All her assumptions were based on watching game replays on a screen.

When she arrived in this Aqua City, the "Phoenix Festa" had already ended.

Therefore, she did not watch William's match live, which led to a serious error in her assessment of William's ability.

She once believed that Ayato Amagiri's Star Power to break free from his shackles was comparable to William's.

But after actually observing this man, she realized how ignorant she had been.

If we compare them using the simplest units of measurement...

The Star Power within Ayato Amagiri's body is like a surging river!

The Star Power within William is like a vast lake!

The two are not comparable at all.

Although the two hadn't known each other for very long, Ayato Amagiri was still able to understand what Julis was hiding at that moment.

No further words were said!

He simply gave Julis a wry smile, then straightened his expression and looked at William again.

"Then let me reintroduce myself!"

"I am William Spengler!"

William extended his hand to Julis.

Julis also extended her hand and shook hands with William, their hands touching briefly before parting.

"Julis Alexia von Risfeld, you can just call me Risfeld."

Julis clearly knew that her name was very long, so most people just called her "Glory Flame Witch" or half of her surname, while those who were closer to her called her by her given name.

"I understand. You can just call me Spengler then!"

William nodded, then stopped talking to Julis. After all, his main purpose in coming here wasn't her, but Ayato Amagiri right in front of him.

"Well then, Tengiri-kun, it's a pleasure to meet you again in this city!"

"It's quite surprising that you would participate in the 'Griffon Festa.' Theoretically speaking, you shouldn't be very interested in this kind of thing!"

William withdrew his hand from Ayato Amagiri's Ayato Amagiri asked him with considerable interest.

After all, his impression of Ayato Amagiri a year ago was that he was the kind of person who was easygoing, who was only interested in living a peaceful life and not really interested in anything.

It's remarkable that he was able to leave his comfortable home, come to this highly competitive city, and participate in an event like the Festas.

This is completely incompatible with Ayato Amagiri's personality.

"Well! I have many reasons for that."

After hearing what William said, Ayato Amagiri glanced at Julis with a slightly tender look.

Then he reached his hand from the floor of the table and placed it on the back of Julis's hand, and Julis returned the same look to Ayato Amagiri.

"At least everything right now is my own decision."

William witnessed all of their subtle interactions.

"Sizzle--!"

A knowing look appeared in his eyes, and he couldn't help but chuckle softly.

Both of their faces flushed red at a visible speed upon hearing William's laughter, and Julis quickly pulled her hands away from their gently overlapping hands.

"I see, but you two are a little too innocent!"

William nodded, then looked at Ayato Amagiri with amusement.

"But I don't think your chances of winning are very high!"

"Even without us, our Golden Partners of the Jielong and the Mimic of the Al-Van Academy are no match for you right now."

His blunt words instantly made Julis's expression turn somewhat unpleasant.

Ayato Amagiri also wore a rather bitter smile, but neither of them harbored any resentment towards William.

"I can't argue with that!"

"But I don't think it's helpful for you to expose this reality to us!"

Although she didn't harbor any resentment, Julis's voice still turned cold.

However, this is the normal attitude.

"No, I actually find it quite useful."
