Chapter 239 - Great Races 3

Beatrix confronts Yucol who is currently in front of her and intends to do everything in her power to fight Yucol. Her pride as the strongest student in her school is at stake in this battle.

Beatrix, who until now has never been defeated by anyone, feels very sure that Yucol will not be able to match her.

Yue and Collete aka Yucol, firmly believed that they could defeat anyone who stood in their way except for one person, namely Beatrix Monroe.

The strongest student in the school, who has above-average fighting abilities. Which until now had never been defeated by anyone at school in dueling practice.

And of course that unbeaten record makes Yucol a bit less confident when she currently has to face Beatrix.

Yucol prepares to attack Beatrix using harmless disarming magic.

But unexpectedly, Beatrix reflected Yucol's magic attack by using a special magic barrier that had the effect of reflecting attacks. And Yucol's magic attack turned on herself, causing her body to fall off the broomstick.

Beatrix looks at Yucol with a cold gaze. She expects a lot from Yucol, but it turns out that amateurs in combat are still amateurs in combat. When compared to her who had experienced many battles to protect Emily. Yucol who is the union of the two weakest people in her class is by no means a comparable opponent.

Beatrix then left leaving Yucol who was currently lying on the ground. And decided to go after her master. On the ground, Yucol whose body was in pain from falling back again became Yue and Collete. Because the effects of the Temporal Union had completely disappeared, and neither of them expected at all that the difference between their abilities and Beatrix's was that great.

Even though the two of them had become one person using magic.

"D-damn!" Collete said who was already flying again using her broom. "The difference in strength between the two of us and the most powerful student in the school is simply too great!"

"Beatrix Monroe the class secretary is a professional bodyguard whose job is to protect Emily, so it's only natural that we won't be able to defeat her even if we both pull ourselves together," Yue said who was sitting on her broom with a pained body. ."Amateurs like the two of us can't beat a professional fighter like her at all."

"Well, we won't currently be able to become the first champions, since the effects of the Temporal Union are up. After all it can only be used once a day although Unio Temporalis is a very useful magic," Collete said. "Looks like we have to aim for the second position, so we can go to Ostia."

"Sigh, even though I really want to be first place, but as long as the two of us can go to Ostia and meet Nagi. I won't protest," Yue said with a frown on her face. "Because our top priority is to go to Ostia and not to be the champion of this rally."

Yue didn't realize until now, that in fact her abilities were almost as strong as Beatrice's. But because she was currently forgetting her memories plus Yue was also someone who was better in theory than practice. So her body had a hard time putting into practice what she had learned in the Winter Dome.

But everything would change if Yue could activate the power of her Pactio card, which could be said to be the key to recalling what she had learned.

Be it magic, magic theory, combat techniques, ways to survive or Magecraft which was something she couldn't completely master at all.

[THE TRACK IS AS ALWAYS. AFTER OUT OF THE CITY, WATCHING AROUND THE FOREST OF MAGIC MONSTERS AND AFTER PASSING TEN CHECK POINTS, THE RALLY PARTICIPANTS WILL BE BACK TO THE CITY. AND AT THIS TIME THE FIRST POSITION ARE THE COUPLE OF EMILY AND BEATRIX FOLLOWED BY THE COUPLE OF YUE AND COLLETE IN THE SECOND POSITION WHO ARE BACK TO TWO PEOPLE!]

In the office of the headmaster and general secretary of the Magic Knight Ariadne, Seras.

She smiled when she saw the rally that was currently being held. Seras felt very proud of the abilities of the students at her school, especially with Yue and Collete. Which uses a unique magic that almost no one has ever used at all.

"Ufufufufufu this year my students are very excited, especially Yue Farandole and Collete Farandole," Seras said with a smile. "Seeing the two of them reminds me of the crazy thing Nagi did a long time ago."

"Ohohohoho your skills are great as usual Beatrix, having a maid and bodyguard like you really helps me a lot," Emily said who was already a considerable distance away from Yue and Collete. "This way the two of us are the ones who will have the greatest chance of going to Ostia and meeting Nagi-Sama!"

Seeing Emily's reaction, Beatrix remembered what had happened ten years earlier. Just when Nagi Springfield was declared dead.

Emily who was only four years old at that time along with her mother and also herself who was a big fan of Nagi. Experiencing severe stress that makes the three of them having a fever for a week. Nagi's death is something that is very sad for Emily and Beatrix, so going to Ostia and meeting a clone of Nagi Springfield who suddenly appears is a must for both of them to prove, whether he really is the reincarnation of Nagi or just a fraud who wants to take advantage of Nagi famous name.

"Hey, Beatrix I think we'll be able to finish this rally faster if we go through the magic monster forest," Emily said who was currently saying something very irresponsible.

"B-but Ojou-Sama, the forest of magic monsters is a very dangerous place," Beatrix said in a tone that sounded a little scared. "Even I, not sure if I alone can pass through the magic monster forest unscathed."

"If we fly using our brooms at the highest speed when we pass through the monster forest, I'm sure that not a single monster will be able to touch us both."

Near the monster forest, Emily decided to do something reckless by taking a shortcut by cutting her way through the forest. Beatrix didn't agree of course, but since Emily was her employer.

Beatrix could only follow Emily's decision. Even though she knew how dangerous the magic monster forest was.

***

Yue felt strange ever since she found a strange pactio card that had fallen from Collete's pocket with a picture of herself drawn on the pactio card.

She felt extremely energized, and currently Yue was riding her broomstick at a speed that far surpassed the speed she had achieved when fused with Collete using the Temporal Union. It was to the point that Collete lags a bit behind Yue.

And when Yue and Collete arrived near the monster forest, the same idea as Emily popped into Yue's head. To try to get through the magic monster forest, in order to get to the finish line faster.

"Oooi Collete how about we try to pass through the magic monster forest so we can catch up with the class president?" Asked Yue.

"You have a very good idea," replied Collete. But if we both meet a dangerous creature, then our lives will be at stake. I don't want to risk my life, just to be able to win over the class rep, because that would be a very stupid act."

"Sigh fine then, but we better increase our flying speed, so that at least we can't be overtaken by the other participants," Yue said who increasing the speed of her broom. "Because if we lose our current position, we won't be able to go to Ostia at all."

"Yu-Yue I can't increase my speed now I'm already flying at the highest speed I can reach," Collete said who looked exhausted. "After the Unio Temporalis wears off you're became so weird, your flying speed is so abnormal. It's as if you're on doping."

"I-I don't understand either," Yue said. "After I found a strange card with my picture that fell out of your pocket, I felt so energized!"
