Unspeakable bubbles

Reiko Hatta's lips twitched. "Hmph, we're on the same side now, and you're going to keep this kind of thing a secret?"

"What?"

Petty looked at Reiko blankly: "A united front?"

"I was just called over by Teacher Emma, ​​and it was about you and Bubble."

Afterwards, Reiko briefly recounted the conversation that took place in the office that morning to Petty.

"Do you understand now?"

"..."

Patty's expression was priceless: "Reiko, are you trying to cause trouble?!"

"Scared? If you don't want to offend those club presidents, you can quit now."

"Not afraid."

Petty frowned: "Do you know how much I've earned in the last few days?"

"You must have at least five or six thousand points, right?"

“No, no, no, it’s this number.” Petty held up three fingers.

"Thirty thousand! How can that be so much? You've already got thirty thousand, then the bubbles must be..."

"Well, after Bubble beats Tetsuya Hara, I raised the minimum challenge points to 10,000."

"That's 10,000 points! The total reward for a large-scale mission assigned by the academy is only that small."

"Who would have thought? Wow, there are so many rich people in the academy!"

Are all the challengers presidents of large clubs?

"No, it's more about those experts with special mystique who want to make a fortune."

Petty looked at Reiko and said, "The impact of this matter is spreading further, Reiko. I think you're oversimplifying this."

"Not just those company presidents,"

"Who knows, Bubble and I might end up facing all the top experts in Laplace Academy in the future."

Section 450, Chapter 449: The Grand Tournament and the Grand Champion

Reiko Hatta remained silent for a moment. Competing with the club presidents and challenging all the top players from Laplace Academy were two completely different things!

She could control the situation in the former case, but in the latter...

"Grant, is there any way to mitigate the repercussions of this?"

“I’ve already tried it, but even now that the minimum challenge time is 10,000 points, there are significantly more challengers.”

Petty pondered for a moment and said, "Perhaps we should have the teachers step in and explicitly forbid Bubble from competing with other students. That would be the only way to quell the controversy."

"But I already rejected that possibility."

Reiko hesitated for a moment: "How about I go see Teacher Emma again?"

"Ha, if you go to see her again, aren't you just contradicting yourself?"

"So be it. I can't let Bubble have a bad experience because of my hesitation."

"and many more!"

Petty grabbed Reiko's arm: "Why don't you think about another possibility?"

"What do you mean?"

"I mean, what if Bubble really was invincible throughout the academy?"

Petty stared intently at Reiko: "If things go smoothly, Reiko, you can take back all the power in the student council."

Reiko was stunned for a moment, then her face darkened.

"Grant, I thought you were Bubble's friend. I never imagined you'd push her into a fire for such a small amount of points!"

"I don't want any commission from now on."

Patty shook her head, with a look that said, 'I knew you'd say that.'

"No commission?"

Reiko asked, puzzled, "What exactly are you planning?"

"Don't overthink it, it's just..."

"I think if it were Bubble, she could do it!"

"Just because I think, you want Bubble to face so much hostility?"

"Hmph, Reiko Hatta, don't be so arrogant."

Petty's face was cold: "You just do things your own way. Did you even ask Bubble what she wanted?"

"I'm doing this for Bubble's own good. She's still young and has no idea how much risk she'll be taking if she continues competing."

How would she know if you didn't tell her?

What do you want me to say?

"Just tell the truth."

Patty said calmly, "Explain the seriousness of the matter to Bubble. If she backs out, it's not too late for you to go to Teacher Emma."

"..."

"Patty, Reiko, what are you talking about? Bubble thinks he heard his own name."

Seeing the little girl approaching, Petty gave Reiko a wink.

"bubbles,"

"Ok?"

Have you been feeling a lot of stress lately?

"No."

"Aren't rock-paper-scissors games being played too frequently?"

"well enough."

"Oh, I see."

"..."

"........."

"By the way, what did you have for breakfast today?"

"Get out of the way, get out of the way, I'm asking this!"

Patty shoved Reiko aside impatiently: "Bubble, I have a question for you."

"Oh"

"The rock-paper-scissors competition has entered a more intense phase. Next, Bubble will be facing all the top players from Laplace Academy."

"As your good partner and the sole designated referee for the rock-paper-scissors competition, I have a formal question to ask."

"Bubble, are you confident you can continue in the rest of the competition?"

"No problem, Bubble will win the championship!"

"Okay, okay, Reiko will give you a big trophy on behalf of the student council."

"Get out of my way!"

Reiko pushed Petty aside, looked at the little girl, and a worried expression appeared on her face.

"Bubble, this is no joke."

"Stop rambling on and on, are you a mother hen?"

Patty pushed Reiko aside again: "Didn't Bubble say there's no problem?"

"You're the one who has no problem. Is this something that can be decided so easily?"

Reiko pressed on Patty's shoulder and pulled her back.

"Heh, are you really determined to stop Bubble from winning the championship?"

"As the official referee for the rock-paper-scissors competition, I would never allow such a thing to happen!"

Petty slapped Reiko's hand away: "Just watch quietly. Oh, and don't forget to prepare the grand trophy for Bubble."

"What trophy? Don't be ridiculous. I need to talk to Bubble about something serious."

"Don't push me! I'm warning you, if you touch me again, I'll get angry!"

"Grant!"

"Don't fight, don't fight."

The little girl scratched her head, wondering why Reiko and Patty would have such a heated argument over such a simple game.

"Hmph, Grant doesn't think things through at all when he speaks or acts, it makes me angry."

"what?"

Patty's eyes widened: "I think you're the one who doesn't know anything. Let me ask you, how many of Bubble's matches have you seen? Do you even know how strong Bubble is?"

"The fact that Bubble has managed to stay in a draw until now shows how strong they are."

Reiko paused, then continued, "Laplace Academy is full of hidden talents..."

"In fact, the dragons and tigers you mentioned have already caused countless bubbles to be overturned."

"Unexpected things can always happen!"

"An accident? Okay, okay, so what if we really lose sometime?"

"At worst, I'll just give back all the points I won!"
