Zero no ambassador: my harem

"That, that, I agree. It's good to have one more person to protect Hoshi."

So that was three votes in favor, three votes against, and the ball was kicked back to Anrietta's feet.

The eyes of the crowd were unanimously focused on Anrietta.

Anrietta was in a dilemma, Louise was her best friend and her opinion couldn't be ignored, but she also wanted someone to protect Hao, and she agreed with Alia's strength.

Anrietta came up with a solution, "Then, let Louise and Alia compete, Louise wins and Alia can't serve as Hao Tian's escort; and if Alia wins, Alia and Louise will serve as Hao Tian's escort."

Louise looked to Alia, who was half kneeling by the long table, and thought that she was the one who got Hao Tian killed once.

"Okay, I'll accept that condition."

Alia lifted her head to Louise.

"I'm willing to contest."

A contest was then finalized, and since it was late, this contest was decided to be put on tomorrow.

chapter forty-one - the attack of mercy

The next day after breakfast, Anrietta, Hao Tian and the others came to the grass outside the bedchamber.

Here the traces of the battle hadn't disappeared, the traces of fire and rock guns were clearly visible, especially the ten meter deep pit left by Louise's shot [Explosion], looking cold.

Louise changed into the academy's uniform, wearing a black cloak and a pentagram round badge tied with a ribbon. She wasn't the same [Louise of Zero] she once was, since getting the [Prayer Book of the Beginning] and starting to learn the magic of the Void's [Explosion], she was able to use her [Triangle Level] magic power, and with the great power of the [Explosion], even if she fought against the second ranked Chuluk of the academy, she was still winning and losing.

Across from Louise, Alia was dressed in polished, shining silver armor, her long green hair tied in a ponytail behind her head. Lake green eyes gazed calmly at Louise.

"Ready or not, I'm not going to give you Hoshi." Lois.

"I'll do my best to win." Alia.

Hoshi stepped between the two and raised his hand.

"So, 3, 2, 1, start."

Hao Tian headed backwards.

The two who had been saving their strength since the start of the countdown exerted their power almost simultaneously.

Alia rushed towards Louise like a whirlwind, sword unsheathed, right hand together like a sword. The idea was to rely on speed to get around behind Louise and then knock her out.

But Louise had seen Alia's speed yesterday, so how could she not defend herself.

The [Prayer Book of the Beginning Ancestor] had hundreds of pages that contained more than ten magic of the Void System. In addition to Louise's preference and the most powerful [Explosion], for almost a year, Louise had also learned two Void Magic, [Patronage of the Patriarch] and [Attack of Mercy].

Louise, who had already been quietly chanting the spell, completed the first Void Magic when Aria rushed over. Only her wand was drawn on her body, and she said aloud, "Guardian of the Beginning!!!"

White light surged from the path of her wand's path, spreading up and down, encircling the circle and closing at the top, forming a hazy white hemisphere of light to protect Louise.

Alia hit the white light and suffered great resistance, backing away.

Louise, guarded by the light shield, began to chant once again.

Alia's eyes were heavy, she had seen how powerful Louise's [Blast] was, and if she was hit, she would definitely die. She could no longer hold back, pulling out the silvery longsword from her waist, shaking her hand lightly, the tip of the sword trembled, green light spread, and tiny wind blades were spread all around the blade.

Alia began stabbing the sword at a speed that was unattainable by normal people, the long sword transformed into a cloud of shadows, and within a second she stabbed a dozen or so times, concentrating on a thumb-sized area outside the white light shield.

The white mask changed color intensity under the sharp blows, and the white light at one point of the encounter gathered together and turned milky white, while the side with its back to the stabs was really only a hazy moon white curtain of light.

The central part of the milky white light curtain held firm under Alia's successive stabs, and the white light at the edges of the milky white block trembled. Under the [Patronage of the Beginners], Louise chanted aloud without stopping.

Alia, who was in authority, didn't notice the change in the intensity of the light mask. The onlookers Hao Tian, Tabatha, Churuk and other strong struggle experience had already noticed that the defense of that [Patriarch's Guardian] had a total value, distributed around it, and a place with increased defense would definitely have a place with decreased defense.

Alia backed away, mobilizing all of the magic power distributed throughout her body, and a blue light spread all around her.

Raising the longsword high up, all the magic power around Alia's body converged towards the longsword, the wind surrounding the sword became more and more intense, and the longsword also emitted a blue glow as if the longsword Devo had absorbed wind magic, but the blue glow was bright and obviously more powerful.

"Wind King Cutting Strike!!!" Alia slammed down her long sword as her magic and momentum climbed to the top.

"Hoo-boom-"

Brilliant blue light spurted out, accompanied by a blade like sharp wind that continuously struck the [Patriarch's Guardian]. The white light and the blue light clashed fiercely, and the white light cover faltered and flickered.

Finally, after the blue light emitted by Alia diminished and weakened, the white light cover shattered into pieces of white fragments that dissipated into the air.

Before Alia had time to rejoice, Louise was already smiling proudly, her wand pointed at Alia.

"Mercy's attack!!!"

A brilliant white light poured out of the front of Louise's wand and shot at Alia.

Alia jumped up from her spot and dodged towards the left.

As a result, the white light arced through the air and pursued Aaliyah.

Alia turned pale and was caught up by the white light after running 30 to 40 meters away.

Alia blocked the longsword in front of her face, inspiring the wind surrounding the sword to expand her defensive range.

However, the white light passed right through the longsword and armor and disappeared into Alia's body.

Alia looked at herself in confusion.

Hao Tian, Anrietta and the others who were watching the battle were also confused.

Louise, however, smiled smugly.

"Alia, you've already lost."

"What?!" The crowd was surprised.

Alia in the arena was first confused at the news, then looked at the sword in her hand suddenly fearing like a snake and throwing it out, after throwing the sword Alia looked at her trembling hand showing shock and fear, losing strength and falling to her knees, losing her mind.

"[Attack of Mercy], an ethereal magic created by the Originals, doesn't harm the enemy's body, but attacks the enemy's mind. Those who are hit by [Attack of Mercy] will be battle-weary, afraid of battle, unable to hold a weapon, and unable to chant magic, so you lose, Alia."

Louise said proudly.

Anrietta, Hao Tian, and Carina who were watching the battle looked at each other.

"Louise, can you undo this effect?" Hao Tian asked with a gloomy face.

Louise was stunned and looked at Hao Tian's gloomy face and said timidly, "Are you angry? Hoh."

"The magic of manipulating people's hearts makes it forbidden, Louise you've overdone it. Quickly take over that magic and apologize to Alia." Hao Tian chimed in.

"I... I just wanted to teach her a lesson. She got you killed, though." Louise was dissatisfied, she felt like she was giving Hao Tian a hard time.
