Chapter 110 – Alea’s New Teammates
Chapter 110 - Alea’s New Teammates
When the group went toward their room, they saw Alea and her group standing in front of their room, looking very excited.
Alea stood in front and crossed her arms. "Hehe, since you stopped us in front of our room back then, I am stopping you right now."
Theo and the others simply looked at her as if she was a fool. Instead of focusing on her, Theo checked her teammates.
As expected, Hontar remained in the group as he was the only one waving his hand to Theo as a greeting.
Next to Hontar was another male that seemed to have the same build as Theo. He had short straight silver hair and black eyes.
Before he checked the other one next to him, Phyrill widened his eyes and looked at both of them in surprise. "The twins?!"
"Twins?" Theo narrowed his eyes and saw the female that looked like him. It was simply the man with a bit more femininity and long hair. He understood what he meant by the twins, but they seemed to be a bit different, especially with the warning from Phyrill.
Before he could assess the situation, there was another girl in the group. She was slightly shorter than Theo. Her face was pale but matched her grey-colored short hair. She looked at Theo with a calm expression and asked, "Are you Theodore Griffith? The one that Alea has been searching for this whole time?"
He looked at her and tilted his head in confusion, wondering what Alea had told her.
"I have been wondering what kind of person you are, but you don't seem to be someone special." She gave a rude remark before Phyrill made his way between them, stopping this person.
"I don't think you need to say anything more because you can see it in the arena. And do you think you're special?" Phyrill smirked and released a bit of his killing intent. "Let me tell you one thing, don't talk big unless to an unknown person. The slap in your face will hurt you so much if you lose against him."
"…" The female narrowed her eyes, stared at Phyrill and Theo, and turned around. "Interesting. I am looking forward to our match."
"Well, well, this is rather not a pleasant meeting." Ellen smiled and decided to trigger all of them, especially Alea. She slipped her hand in Theo's arm and gently pulled him into the room. "Rather than wasting our time with them, let's go inside."
Theo didn't show any resistance, making Alea drop her jaw. Hontar could only shake his head helplessly, knowing what kind of treatment Alea received from Theo. He just thought, 'It's over.'
Theo's group didn't hesitate to enter their room with a cool expression as if Alea and her team never existed.
"Hontar… How come? How come?" Alea turned around and pointed at the room with a shocked expression.
"Chill, Princess. Let's go to our room too… We are their opponents right now."
While the two returned to their room with Alea throwing a fuss, Ellen clapped her hands and said, "Sorry, Theo. I just wanted to tease Alea a bit."
Theo shrugged. "It's fine. Anyway, let's check the information about them first."
"While you are watching the videos, let me explain all the things I know about the twins." Phyrill raised his hand. "The male is a ranger. His name is Makkal Avtor. From what I know, his accuracy is said to be the best in the school.
"From the information I have, he seems to be a good archer with a clear field of vision, pulling one random shot after another to confuse us. Some miss some hits, making us unable to know which arrow will hit us. Hence, we should take caution in dealing with him as his accuracy is a real deal.
"As for his twin sister, Leca Avtor, she is a summoner. I don't know how many she can summon at once, but I am afraid we will be outmanned by them. The twins often hunt together with the summoned creature as their fighters while the brother becomes the main hitter.
"Both of them are among the top in the second year, but the most dangerous one will be the brother. If I'm not wrong, the brother has a blessing from a Hero Level figure."
"A blessing?" Theo frowned, feeling a bit pressured.
"Yes. This is a well-known fact since the brother refused to join the student council because his sister was not chosen. The blessing came from an Archer called Einar Eindridesson Thambarskelfir… I don't know if I pronounce it right, but you get the idea.
"That archer is famous in the Viking era. He is known to use a heavy bow, making the string even stronger to match with the quality. There is a record of him shooting an arrow and piercing a stone wall or bending a metal plate."
"I see." Theo nodded and asked, "Anyone knows anything about the last girl?"
Surprisingly, Sihan was the first to answer. "The girl's name is Aisha Gata. The main candidate for the Disciplinary Committee. In terms of fighting prowess, she is at the same level as Laust and you, but if you take her blessing into account, there will be a big difference…"
"Another blessing?" Theo wondered how many people actually had a blessing. "By the way, is it alright to have a blessing from another country's hero?"
"Yes. That's perfectly fine." Ellen nodded. "You don't know about it? They always choose a candidate that suits them the most regardless of their race, nationality, and so on. Of course, there are a few cases where the home country finds the blessing and invites them to their own country by giving many benefits… For the country, it's necessary, especially if the blessings come from a famous hero or being. It's a matter of face."
"No wonder." Theo contemplated for a moment and saw the screen, finding Aisha return to life. "Wait… This…"
"Yes. She is a healer as well as a fighter, and her blessings come from the father of Western medicine. The blessing is known to be from a man who developed an extensive understanding of how the body works, including the interconnection of organs, bones, wounds, diseases, and other things.
"Understanding everything and getting a new kind of power from the other side, the blessing evolved and basically turned her into a pseudo-immortal like healing her wounds in an instant and attaching her separated body like a zombie. The only way to defeat her is to slice her into pieces, especially her heart and brain."
The entire room fell silent, knowing this girl would be a pain in the ass since she was also a good fighter.
Theo pondered and asked, "And who gave her the blessing?"
Sihan took a deep breath and answered. "He is… Hippocrates."
