Chapter 320 Anna's Dilemma

While Vena investigated the Armor of Calamity, the first day of the Griffin Wars also came to a close.

"The winner is Edel von Fursberg!"

"The winner is Timi Bredad!"

Adele and Dimily, two highly anticipated contestants, won the individual championships in the second and third year groups, respectively.

The suspense of the battle between the blue lion and the black vulture was ultimately left for the next day.

Why didn't you participate?

Despite having won the championship, Dimir's expression did not relax.

It wasn't because the final match was particularly difficult, but because his most anticipated opponent had actually deserted.

"Uh...you're asking me this question?" Jessica was momentarily speechless. "Why don't you look for the reason within yourself?"

"My reason?"

Dimily was not a dull person; with just a slight hint from Jessica, he instantly grasped the answer.

"Hmph, meddlesome, making it seem like I'm a sore loser."

Without Jessica, a worthy opponent to fight for, winning this championship wouldn't be very meaningful.

“It’s fine. If you think this championship is dishonorable, you can just send me the trophy directly. I can accept it.” Jessica said with a carefree smile, not caring at all.

After watching today's match, she didn't feel any regret about missing this year's Griffin Tournament.

If I had to say I regret it, it would be that I was born two years too early and couldn't have a fair fight with Felix.

"Sure, but I have one condition. After the event, you and I will have a rematch. If I lose, you must personally present the trophy to me."

Only by defeating Jessica can Dimily rightfully claim the top spot among the third-year students.

Just like Jessica did last year.

"How much effort did you put into today's match?" Jessica suddenly asked.

"Forty percent," reported Temirichi.

He was indeed confident that he could defeat his opponent in the final match using only 40% of his strength.

However, after learning that Jessica had withdrawn from the competition, he was in a very bad mood, which caused his final opponent to suffer the consequences of a Timiri who unleashed 70% of his anger.

“Then there’s no need for that,” Jessica shook her head gently. “If you want to keep this trophy, then keep it.”

"Are you admitting defeat?" Dimir frowned slightly.

He remembered Jessica as extremely competitive and not someone who would easily admit defeat.

"joke!"

A sharp glint flashed in Jessica's eyes, as if she had instantly reverted to the version of herself that Dimir knew.

"Of course I can fight you again and fulfill your petty wish to humiliate yourself. But you should think carefully: after fighting me, will you still be able to make it to tomorrow's match?"

"..."

Dimir fell silent.

If he were to fight Jessica, it would inevitably be a lose-lose situation.

Regardless of who wins or loses, it will only be a Pyrrhic victory.

This condition cannot be recovered from with just one night's sleep, and it will inevitably affect the upcoming Griffin Battle.

Compared to tomorrow's three-way university melee, today's individual battle is just an appetizer.

Even many elites from the three major universities, when faced with opponents stronger than themselves, will choose to conserve their strength and hastily admit defeat, just to focus on preparing for the subsequent Griffin Battle.

This might be why the competition for second and third graders was less exciting compared to the competition for first graders.

Even if Dimily longed to compete with Jessica, he couldn't risk the glory of the Blue Lions' consecutive championship.

"So don't say such capricious things. I don't need this useless champion to go outside the academy to find someone to take him in."

Jessica waved her hand, indicating that she didn't care who won the championship.

"You're actually thinking of me."

Dimirli had clearly misunderstood.

"No, what's wrong with your head?"

Jessica's expression froze.

"Just you wait. After I win the championship tomorrow as a champion, I will challenge you again!"

Dimily issued another challenge to Jessica, and without waiting for her response, he leaped off the ring.

"Is this person crazy?"

Watching Dimili's retreating figure, Jessica couldn't help but wonder if he was just stubborn, or if she had gone too far last year and made him stupid.

As the referee, she naturally has the clearest view of the game.

If it takes Dimiri 40% of his strength to defeat such an opponent, then there is really no suspense in my fight against him.

The reason Jessica persuaded Dimily to leave was because she had an important dinner appointment that evening and didn't want to waste time with him.

If the other party were to schedule any other time, Jessica wouldn't mind showing him why the flowers are so red.

"Alright, I should go keep my appointment."

Jessica's figure vanished from the ring in an instant.

-----------------

Valentine Chamber of Commerce Academy flagship store.

"Ding-ding-ding-ding-ding~"

"Coming -"

Upon hearing the sound, Anna hurriedly came out of the dressing room, but her thoughts were still not back to normal.

She heard from Jessica that Wiener was planning to throw a celebration party for Felix in the cafeteria.

Even though she knew everyone at the banquet, and some of them were even quite close to her.

But this was, after all, a celebration party within their Silver Wolf class, and without a suitable reason, she felt embarrassed to join in rashly.

The expenses for the celebration banquet were earned by Anna for Vina, and the glamorous confession at the semi-finals was facilitated by Anna.

Logically speaking, even if someone had a modicum of conscience, shouldn't they have at least made a token invitation to her?

As a result, while others were having dinner parties, she was minding the shop, and she had to entertain guests as soon as she changed her clothes.

Anna secretly resented that "heartless" person.

"Welcome! What would you like to do for me?"

Anna was stunned before she could finish speaking, because the person who walked in was the very person she had just been complaining about.

This is truly a case of speaking of the devil and he appears.

"Why aren't you with Lisette and the others? What are you doing here..."

Anna was so surprised that she didn't know what to do with her hands.

No sooner had they finished speaking ill of someone than the person in question came looking for them.

If they want to personally invite me to the celebration banquet, should I accept directly, or just agree without hesitation?

Upon seeing that there was another person following behind Vina, Anna immediately realized that something was wrong.

"Lady Tilitha."

Anna gave a slight bow, a polite gesture.

“I still prefer the way you used to follow Jessica around when you were little, calling me big sister.” Tilissa smiled gently at Anna.

"You're too kind, Lady Tilisa," Anna replied with a wry smile, a hint of reminiscence flashing in her eyes. "Back then, I was just young and ignorant. If I were to address you like that now, it would probably mess up the seniority."

After Tilissa formally accepted Jessica as her disciple, her best friend became extremely bothered by her calling her beloved teacher "sister."

Even without this factor, Anna, who has gradually taken over the affairs of the Chamber of Commerce, must be careful with her words and actions.

As the daughter of the Valentin Chamber of Commerce, if she were to openly address Tissa as "sister" in a friendly manner, it would undoubtedly send the wrong message to other factions and cause unnecessary misunderstandings.

If either Vena or Tilisa were to come, Anna would be honored to welcome them with fine tea and water.

The fact that the two of them came together meant it was definitely not just for a free cup of tea.

"So, what brings you two here?" Anna asked tentatively.

"Take a look at this."

Without beating around the bush, Venerer pushed the receipt containing the delivery information for the Armor of Calamity in front of Anna.

"This is...."

Anna's gaze fell on the receipt.

Chapter 321 Wiener: You're the only one who doesn't know, right?

After discovering that this Armor of Calamity had been delivered to Sigurd by the Valentine Merchant Guild.

At the cost of her dignity, Vena used a self-deprecating "good sister" to persuade Tilisa to use her teleportation spell to instantly move the two of them to the front of the shop.

Normal people can't use teleportation like Jessica does, treating it as a way to get around.

Even when they went to Siggter's dormitory to verify the information, the two of them only walked there.

This shows that Wiener was indeed in a hurry.

Anna picked up the receipt and examined it closely, as if trying to determine its authenticity.

"No need to look at it, this thing isn't genuine. The original has probably already been destroyed."

Before Wiener could finish speaking, he was immediately refuted by both of them.

"Who told you it was fake? X2"

Anna put down the receipt, her tone leaving no room for doubt: "This is indeed a delivery slip from our Valentine Chamber of Commerce, so the goods are—"

Her gaze lingered for a moment on the words "a set of exquisite alchemical armor" marked on the receipt. She already had some guesses in her mind, but she still needed to get a definite answer from Vena.

"It's the cursed armor that Sigurd wore, or the armor of calamity."

“I even specifically asked you if this thing had anything to do with you, and you told me no. Now look what’s happened?”

Wiener slammed his hand on the table, seemingly displeased by Anna's deception.

Resentment is inevitable.

If it were just an ordinary cursed piece of equipment, then even if Sigurd were paralyzed from the waist down and bedridden forever because of it,

Given the Valentin Chamber of Commerce's deep-rooted influence, this is merely a matter of humanitarian compensation.

But now that the Armor of Calamity has become associated with demons, if they are not careful, the Valentin Merchant Guild will become the target of everyone's attacks.

So who is influential enough and most suitable to be pushed out to take the blame?

"Just because the goods are delivered through the chamber of commerce doesn't mean they were sold through our chamber of commerce!"

Even with Anna's good temper, she couldn't tolerate Venere's rude slamming of the table and accusations.

Is this a sign of suspicion, treating her as a suspect?

"Then find out! Where did this thing come from, and who sent it to you!"

"Don't think this is just a simple cursed piece of equipment. If you don't handle it properly, the consequences will be beyond your imagination!"

With piercing eyes, Vina met Anna's gaze without fear.

This was the first time Anna had ever seen Viner so angry. Even when he had executed the traitor in Hanover for her, his hands were trembling uncontrollably, but he had never shown this expression.
