ot.
This girl didnt have any combat experience.
Well, shes gotta learn sooner or later.
I smiled sweetly and my daughter and gave an emphatic nod.
Your Aunt placed me in charge of you.
Were friends, you know?
B-but, this isnt friendship! Youre just!
Its friendship.
Im doing this for your own good.
Isnt that what friends do for each other?
W-well, its not exactly like
I could spot Edward smiling like an idiot as he watched Lemi throw a fit.
Something about his face glowing pink made things feel terribly wrong.
Alright, enough dawdling.
Lets get down to business.
Ignoring Lemis pouting, I floated to midair.
Who will we be fighting, though? You? The statement came from Ana.
Her glare still hadnt vanishedmost likely because of the just-concluded exchange between me and Lemi.
Really? Well be fighting Jared?! Edwards eyes lit up in excitement.
The boy had grown even more to be a battle maniac.
He resembled Gawain now more than ever.
Martial Art idiots I smiled at my muscle-brained friend.
Isnt that too unfair? Its eight against one, but still Ivan looked hesitant.
He probably didnt want to fight me.
I dont see what the big deal is.
Ill knock him down myself.
Ciara made a defiant tone.
Whats with the attitude? Its not like I forced her here
After Jerry agreed to join the team, she did the same.
To be honest, I wasnt very close to the girl, but I realized her potential.
It was a shame that she didnt seem the least bit interested in being friends with me, but for some strange reason, she was always involved in my affairs.
Is it because of Jerry? Hmmm To think of it, back in the Academy, she was also quite fixated on him.
The best course of action would be to ask Jerry all about their relationship later on.
For now, though
Dont say that, Ciara.
You dont know how powerful Jared is.
Yeah hes simply amazing.
Aloe, dont patronize him too much.
You sound like a fangirl.
Whats got you so prickly today, Ana?
Alright, Im pumped up!
Ive never fought before, though
Dont worry, Ill protect you!
..
After watching them all converse for a few, I clapped my hands and regained their attention.
You wont be fighting me.
It seemed they were misunderstanding many things.
But, that was also fine.
Your opponent is one of my constructs.
At this point, I could make out many disappointed gazes assailing me.
Those with a lot of pride would have even felt insulted.
Its my best Automaton.
If you guys manage to defeat it, Ill fight you myself.
Before they could complain, I snapped my fingers, and the platinum-armored being appeared.
Everyone, meet Gawainthe Ultimate Automaton.
I smiled sweetly.
The being beside me was floating too, and his majestic form took in the gazes of everyone.
Thankfully, a few more of them were now interested in fighting the thing.
Alright then.
You may begin on my count.
