Chapter 107: Academy Tournament
Yuka picked up the opticomputer on the table, ready to leave for her match.
She heard the butler on the bed hum and whine, "You’re not taking me again! You didn’t take me all day yesterday. Don’t you love me anymore? Are you seeing some butler else?"
Thinking about her conversation with Kenji yesterday, Yuka felt a bit guilty and responded evasively, "No, of course not. How could that be? I like you the best."
"I’m not taking you because I have a match, and the result will affect my scores at UUA," Yuka patted the butler’s round head and said. "Once I’m done today, I’ll be free and will always carry you with me. Bye-bye."
The butler exclaimed, "Yay!"
...
Yuka and Ayoi walked up to the fourth floor and entered the match room.
They lay down in the holographic pod, returning to the familiar pre-match virtual room, waiting for Kenji to announce the rules for the second round of the competition.
Yuka looked around and noticed that not many students had made it to the second round, just over a hundred.
Moreover, in the second round, the trend of forming teams and alliances became more apparent; almost no one was alone in the classroom.
"Congratulations to everyone for making it to the second round," Kenji appeared on the big screen again, his expression serious. That was completely different from the slightly red-eared nervousness of yesterday.
