But now Coco knows that becoming stronger is the only way to make up for her inferiority complex.

……

"Group three - the competition begins!"

Following the order, without cheers or applause, everyone at the competition venue started to move.

The 70 people were evenly distributed in the venue, but as they moved, conflicts with each other were naturally inevitable.

The punctuation is a small round device, and the ball on the pole is the target of the magic.

Coco looked at the black sphere on the nearby tall building and raised her hand to shoot a golden arrow.

The arrow hit the ball squarely, the light dissipated, and the ball also emitted yellow light.

That's the mark of the score.

"So that's the first point."

The total score on the field is 1000 points.

On average, each person only scored 10 to 20 points. In addition, there were many points that no one found in the end.

But 20 points are still not enough to get a top ten ranking.

"Can you hit it?"

Sharp was trying to cast magic towards the roof of another tall building, but the magic deviated halfway through.

"Well...it's okay..." Sharp was unyielding.

"We don't have that much time."

"Um...I'm sorry..."

Coco sighed inwardly and collected the punctuation marks from upstairs.

Coco made a three-pointer, but Sharp still didn't get any points.

Even if two people are on the same team, the scores are still their own.

In other words, if Sharp continues like this, it will face elimination.

"Well... Coco, please just leave me alone..." Sharp waved his hands guiltily.

But Coco said nothing and pulled Sharp to the other side.

"If you can't hit something high up, just shoot something low." Coco pointed to the mark covered by the grass and said, "Go ahead."

Sharp was stunned: "This is really good..."

"If you don't hurry up, it will be snatched away."

Coco pushed Sharp forward impatiently.

That was Coco's firm determination not to abandon Sharp.

Sharp was stunned for a moment before he stepped forward. The magic spell blossomed before the punctuation mark, scoring this point for the first time.

Sharp would be eliminated if he continued like this - Coco would not let that happen.

After all, if that were the case, Lily's request for the two to team up would be meaningless.

Although Lily didn't say it explicitly, Coco was determined to get Sharp out of the preliminaries from the beginning.

"Thank you." Sharp whispered, "Keke, you are really gentle."

Sharp narrowed his eyes and smiled faintly.

Coco was stunned subconsciously.

"gentle……?"

That is obviously the word that least suits me.

"Sure enough, Coco is just as gentle as Lily... No wonder..." Sharp said, blushing slightly.

"That's that guy's business." Coco argued: "It has nothing to do with me."

“Huhu.” Sharp laughed, “This is unexpectedly cute of Coco-san.”

"..."

"Coco, you like Lily very much, right?" Sharp said, "You are usually so strong, but in the end you listen to Lily. Moreover, you always get angry when it comes to Lily's affairs... Sometimes, the way Coco looks at Lily always has a gentle feeling. I was wondering if Coco actually has this side..."

"...Stop talking." Coco turned and left, "Otherwise I'll just leave you here."

"Hey, why is this happening..." Sharp hurriedly followed.

As Coco walked, she recalled what Sharp had said in a daze.

Am I like that in the eyes of others?

Or——is Lily really that important to him?

...Maybe that's it.

Coco suddenly remembered.

Now, there is only Lily around me.

There is no one else.

From birth till now.

Coco only met Lily.

……

As Coco walked, she pointed out the existing punctuation marks to Sharp.

Sharp now has nearly ten points, and Coco has already scored twelve points.

Coco is very perceptive in all aspects, so the punctuation marks hidden by ordinary people cannot be hidden from Coco's eyes. If it were an ordinary student, he might have to spend some effort on using magic to detect it.

"Hey!" As soon as Coco threw her hands away, a dissatisfied voice came from beside her:

"I was the one who discovered it first—"

Coco took a look and found that it seemed to be a first-grade boy.

"Who cares about you?" Coco shook her head.

The opponent did try to hit the ball several times but failed, and Coco lost the point with a backhand.

The boy could only stamp his feet and turn around to look for other scores.

This is a game of competition, after all.

"And here."

Coco waved her hand, motioning Sharp to come forward.

however--

"Swish." A halo flashed from the side and took down the punctuation mark on Coco's side before Sharp could react.

Coco looked back dissatisfied.

Not far away were two boys from the same class. One of them still had a halo on his hand and looked provocative:

"I'll take the score!"

128. Festivals are a battle between factions

Everyone waiting in the waiting area had no idea what was going on in the game.

The results will be announced only after the game is over.

Lily sat alone in the shade of the tree on the steps, continuing to stare in a daze at the color of the sky that seeped through the layers of leaves.

Lily rubbed her eyes, occasionally raising her hands to block the sunlight that was shining directly into her eyes.

Putting down my hands, I heard the faint chatter around me:

"The little Loli over there... is she waiting for someone?"

"Really... so cute..."

"Look at the way she rubs her eyes..."

"I always feel like bullying someone..."

Lily came back to her senses from her daze and heard the noisy sounds around her.

This might not be a good place to rest.

"Want to go?"

"Striking up a conversation?"

"No, no, I was just having a friendly conversation with my schoolmate!"

"Go ahead, go ahead... If you don't hurry up, you'll see..."

There were several pairs of students around, all eager to make a move.

As if they were on guard against each other, and didn't want the prey to fall into his hands -

At this time, another petite figure appeared in front of Lily.

The visitor waved his hand to greet Lily:

“Here it is~”

Lily raised her lavender eyes slightly.

Under the slightly dark red hair is Moira's bright smile.

……

Moira sat on the steps next to Lily quite familiarly, and the shade of one little loli grew into two little lolis.

Seeing someone get there first, the people around had some complaints to some extent - but when they saw the little Loli coming, those people shut up again.
