"Hello everyone, I am Finral Roulacase of the Black Bulls. I believe you have all been waiting for a long time."
"On the left is Captain Charlotte Roselei of the Blue Rose Knights. I wonder what she will be dressed as. And on the right is Vanessa Enoteca, the Black Bulls' very own beauty. Let us see how she performs."
A stage formed through magic, covered by two red curtains, with the two contestants waiting behind them.
"First up is Captain Charlotte."
The curtain opened, revealing Charlotte dressed as a witch. Her face was completely flushed as she stood there stiffly, clearly lost in her thoughts.
Yami is watching me. Does he like this outfit? This is so embarrassing. It feels so cold underneath.
Cheers erupted from the crowd below, the atmosphere instantly heating up as people stared in excitement.
"It seems Captain Charlotte's witch outfit is a huge success. Next up is Vanessa. Everyone, keep the energy going."
The curtain opened again.
Vanessa appeared in a black nun's habit, her hands pressed together in a gentle, pious pose. Unlike her usual revealing outfits, she was fully covered, yet it only made her more alluring.
The crowd erupted once again.
Meanwhile, Yami sat in a VIP seat, smoking calmly, clearly more interested in beating Jack next time than anything else happening here.
"Hmph, you idiot, what are you getting so excited about?" Noelle stomped on Cedric's foot and glared at him.
"Everyone appreciates beauty. Our little vinegar jar is getting jealous again."
"Who do you think will win?"
"I do not really care, but I have already decided that tonight you will wear both of those outfits and spend some time alone with me."
"I will not do that, you shameless idiot."
Cedric leaned closer, his voice low and teasing. "That is not up to you, my Stinky Princess. After last night, you should know exactly how persuasive I can be."
Noelle's face instantly turned red as she looked away.
On stage, Finral continued enthusiastically.
"Vanessa is dressed as a nun, which is quite different from her usual style. Surprisingly, this kind of contrast gives her a unique charm. Everyone, the decision is in your hands."
"Pour your magic into the voting boxes and decide the winner."
"Big Sister, you can do it!" Sol shouted loudly.
The crowd poured their magic into the boxes. After counting, Finral looked stunned.
"Incredible. It is a tie. Therefore, I announce that the second round, the swimsuit competition, will begin in fifteen minutes."
"You idiot, do you have a death wish? Making Big Sister wear something like that in front of everyone." Sol's anger instantly flared.
She kicked Finral away and summoned mud constructs to drive the crowd off.
Once the area cleared, Sol approached Charlotte.
"Big Sister, I have several swimsuits in my collection. When we get back, you can wear them just for me to see."
"Call me Captain."
"Yes, Big Sister." Sol's lips curled into a smile, her cheeks slightly red.
Vanessa watched the scene carefully.
Although she did not care much about Yami himself, he had saved her from the Witch's Forest. More importantly, he was her reliable drinking partner.
This woman is clearly interested in him.
Sorry, Captain. For the sake of my alcohol, you are better off staying single.
"Captain, you still prefer women who can drink with you, right?"
Yami thought for a moment. "Yeah. Drinking together is more fun."
"Clover Kingdom Special Brew, limited discount."
"Big Sister, let us compete in drinking. Your tolerance is among the best in the Blue Rose Knights."
Sol, I...
At a wooden table, five bottles of strong liquor were placed in front of Vanessa and Charlotte.
Vanessa, the wine-loving witch, picked up a bottle and downed it in one go.
"Ah, that is good."
She immediately collapsed onto the table.
Cedric blinked.
Is this alcohol that strong? That was faster than a knockout spell.
"Hahaha, now watch Big Sister."
Charlotte picked up a glass and took a small sip. Her face instantly turned red, and her body swayed.
"If you cannot drink, do not force yourself."
Yami grabbed the glass and finished it in one gulp.
Indirect... Yami...
Charlotte's mind went blank as she collapsed right after.
"Big Sister!"
At that moment, fireworks were launched.
Grey carried a magic cannon while Magna and Luck infused it with mana.
Brilliant fireworks exploded across the night sky, lighting up the festival beautifully.
"Hello everyone. Are you enjoying the Star Festival? Next is the much-anticipated star announcement."
"First, please welcome the captains of each Magic Knight squad."
Seven captains stepped forward, though something felt off.
"There are two new captains this year. The first is the captain of the Crimson Lion Kings, Mereoleona Vermillion, and the second is the captain of the Purple Orcas, Kaiser Granvorka."
The Wizard King wiped his forehead.
Yami is here, but where is Charlotte?
"Now, for the rankings."
"First place goes to the Golden Dawn with 152 stars."
"Second place goes to the Black Bulls with 11 stars."
The crowd erupted in disbelief.
The Black Bulls? Impossible. Did they cheat?
Even the other captains showed displeased expressions. Being surpassed by the Black Bulls was not something they could easily accept.
"Everyone, please calm down. I swear in the name of the Wizard King that the Black Bulls' stars are completely legitimate."
The crowd slowly quieted.
The rest of the rankings were announced, with the Aqua Deer placing last with 49 stars.
"We are actually last." Rill Boismortier looked stunned.
"Next, I would like to introduce a newcomer. Yuno of the Golden Dawn. During the Diamond Kingdom's invasion, he defeated one of the Eight Shining Generals using his exceptional Wind Magic and has earned many stars in just half a year."
Yuno stepped onto the stage. Standing there, he felt himself getting closer to his goal of becoming the Wizard King.
"Golden Dawn. Golden Dawn."
"In addition, two members of the Black Bulls have also performed exceptionally well. Asta and Cedric, who have only recently joined, have already achieved remarkable results."
"Hey, young man, you are from the Black Bulls, right? Do you know those two?"
Magna glanced back at the old man who helped them make fireworks and smirked.
"The Wizard King said my name. I am going up."
Before anyone could stop him, Yami grabbed Asta by the collar and threw him forward.
"Go on, brat."
"I am coming, Yuno."
Midair, Asta pulled out his Demon-Slayer Sword and slammed down onto the platform, kicking up a cloud of dust as he landed dramatically.
