Regarding this situation...
Lucas was used to it and said, "Don't worry, I'll make sure you have fun. How about we make a bet? If you lose, you have to kiss me."
"If Bronya wins, I'll break one of your legs."
The Sanwu Shaonv (Three-No Girl) proposed her cruel idea expressionlessly.
Lucas smiled.
"Okay, it's a deal."
The computer screen lit up.
Bronya directly chose a fighting game.
"It's this game again... I've completely mastered it."
Lucas smirked.
Similar to mainstream fighting games on the market...
This game also required selecting three characters; whoever's characters were all defeated lost.
It's worth mentioning...
All the characters in this fighting game were students and teachers of St. Freya Academy, such as—Raiden Mei, Bronya, Kiana, Theresa, and even Lucas's character.
Based on information he had gathered before...
Lucas knew that this fighting game was designed by Bronya herself.
The game balance was decent.
Why 'decent'?
Because two of the characters were unbalanced.
One was overpowered, one was utterly useless.
The latter was very prone to dying quickly when chosen, and that character was—Lucas!
In the fighting game designed by Bronya...
The character Lucas had no special skills, only ordinary light punches, heavy punches, etc...
The only passive skill he possessed could only be triggered after the character's death.
Valkyrie's Fury: When character Lucas is defeated, the first Valkyrie to appear afterward deals 30% more damage to enemies for ten seconds.
Using one character to exchange for a damage-boosting Buff that only lasts ten seconds...
Some people might find it worthwhile.
Some might not.
It's a matter of personal opinion.
Lucas, in any case, didn't think it was worth it, so his chosen characters were—Theresa, Lucas, and Elysia.
Bronya chose—Kiana, Raiden Mei, and Bronya.
A tense and exciting fighting game was about to begin.
Theresa VS Kiana.
Both sides probed each other a few times.
Seizing an opening, Lucas controlled the Headmaster to pick up Judah and attack, wildly smashing the floor with the Key of Restraint, which was even larger than Theresa herself.
Kiana, controlled by Bronya, was almost defeated in one combo.
Banya, realizing what happened, retaliated with a move.
But she couldn't successfully chain it, and the damage dealt was very limited.
With only a sliver of health left, Bronya had almost no chance of turning the tide. Accompanied by the clattering of game buttons, the Kiana she controlled fell.
"Ah?" The Sanwu Shaonv (Three-No Girl) let out an emotionless exclamation, "Lucas, your... your gaming skills have gotten so good."
"What do you know? This is called 'a scholar's progress after three days of separation,' you should look at me with new eyes."
Lucas snorted twice. His performance today was only average, after all, he was injured yesterday.
You know...
In his ninety-nine reincarnations...
Lucas had long become a gaming master.
Let alone using Theresa.
Even with the weakest character, I can still go toe-to-toe with Bronya in a 20-80 split.
Of course...
That's Lucas 20, Bronya 80.
First, Banya's gaming skills are no joke.
Second, that character is truly useless.
The stat gap between him and a normal Valkyrie character is too large.
Lucas had protested in previous rounds, but his protests were ineffective, and Bronya went her own way.
The second game was about to begin.
Bronya controlled a full-health Raiden Mei, while Lucas controlled a half-health Theresa.
The battle was about to erupt.
With the experience of the previous failure, Bronya was clearly much more cautious.
The two probed each other for more than ten rounds without seizing an opportunity.
Both sides kept harassing each other.
In the game, Raiden Mei's sword light was like a dragon, her defense impenetrable.
Lucas couldn't find an opening at all, and seeing the one-hundred-second combat countdown rapidly decreasing, he knew what Bronya was thinking; her health was far higher than his.
As long as she defended steadily, when the countdown ended, the loser of this round would definitely be Lucas.
The only way was to attack.
Attack relentlessly.
Even if Lucas desperately tried to wear her down, he could only cripple her; killing her was utterly impossible.
This madness even allowed Bronya to seize an opportunity and unleash a combo.
Amidst flashing electricity...
The Headmaster on the screen fell, and Raiden Mei, with one-third of her health remaining, coolly sheathed her sword and looked back with cold eyes.
Bronya, having won a round, did not show any signs of happiness.
Winning against a crippled opponent with full health, yet still losing two-thirds of her own health, was hardly something to be happy about.
It's important to know that Bronya's fighting game doesn't have a setting to restore health after winning a round.
Once health is lost, it's lost; there's no way to recover it.
The third game quickly began.
One-third health Raiden Mei versus full health Lucas.
To be honest, choosing Lucas as a character is definitely a loss.
But why did I choose him?
The reason lies with the Sanwu Shaonv (Three-No Girl); do you remember what I said before, besides the super-weak character, there was also a super-god one?
That super-god character is Bronya; not only is her game mechanic excellent, but she's also a stat monster.
To defeat the game's developer Boss...
You can only create a god.
Lucas's character is very suitable for this.
His passive skill—Valkyrie's Wrath—everyone praises it.
Elysia's game character has a very good game mechanic, even almost surpassing Bronya, her only downside is that her stats are mediocre, making it difficult to deal high damage.
And so...
As long as Lucas sacrifices the Lucas in the game...
He can immediately create a new overpowered monster, using a monster to fight a monster.
At this point, some people might be confused.
You're saying all this...
Why not just pick Bronya directly?
Laughable.
Bronya simply doesn't allow others to choose Bronya.
If he could, Lucas would have chosen her long ago.
....
This round was similar to the last one.
Only the offense and defense had switched.
Lucas had more health, becoming the defender, while Bronya, with less health, became the attacker.
The game characters on the screen went back and forth, fighting with great enthusiasm.
Soon...
This game ended without surprise.
The winner was Lucas; his character had less than half health remaining.
Next up was the Boss battle.
"Bronya won't lose."
Seeing her character appear, the Sanwu Shaonv (Three-No Girl)'s eyes flashed with confidence.
Lucas glanced at her and said, "What if you lose then?"
"If I lose, I'll eat the computer screen."
Banya's tone was flat.
Lucas said, "No need to bet so big. If you lose, just let me kiss you."
Bronya didn't answer, as the game had already started.
Banya isn't speaking?
This could almost be considered an implicit agreement; Lucas's lips curved into a smile, revealing a look of successful scheming.
The poor little duck didn't know she was stepping deeper into the abyss.
