Hi guys, this is Voiceless_Lord. I'm sorry for taking too much time to release my chapter today.
This is because my passion to write this fan-fiction at low state which I currently adjusting my passion by distributing my focus to another story that I currently created its draft.
I know that some readers might asking, "Why you create new story if you previous work still not yet finished?", "Why don't you just rest for awhile?" or more extreme, "Why don't you just stop writing as we have another book to read at?"
For those question, I could only answer that I have some visions for new plot when I had wrote this fan-fic but I couldn't enter those plots inside my work as I had already planned my plot to progress in the direction that I had chose so I could only separate those plots into another works. Furthermore, I will not stop writing as I will finish my first work first but those visions had disrupted my writing so I could only alternate between this fan-fic and my new fan-fic that I currently set up its chapters before publishing at the Webnovel. Therefore, I could only warn you that I couldn't publish one chapter every day for unknown period of time until the next announcement.
However, I will publish two or three chapters per week so don't worry as I will not drop my work.
Anyway, let's go to the new chapter today. See you and thank you for your support with this fan-fic.

"It's because of my blood." Yaya said that as she weakly standing in front of Risette.
"Your blood?..." Said Risette confused.
"Yes. When you had released those mist for your attack previously, I'm mixing a little bit of my blood during that attack where its slowly enters your body after you retracting those mist again. Moreover, I also had mixed some of the blood when I hit your body multiple times so after those blood had accumulated inside your body, you could finally feel the effect right now." Answered Yaya as she slowly close up to Risette.
Yaya looks at Risette and say: "Sorry to say this, Risette-san, but you're going down for now."
Yaya motioned her fist backwards before releasing her full power punch at Risette's face which cause her to roll down on the ground for several metres before she stop.
Yaya sprints towards Risette to finish her off but before she could attack her, a figure had appeared in front of Risette and blocking the strike from Yaya.
Yaya retreats back for several metres before looking at the newcomer.
The newcomer can be seen as 10 years old girl with twin-tail where she is wearing a white blouse that show her shoulder while both of her hands have metal claw adorned on it. Her expression can be described as stoic where she just stood in front of Risette without changing her expression.
"Well...well, I don't think that you could force my automaton this much, Student Akabane." Said an unknown voice before another figure had appeared.
"FELIX!!!" Yelled Raishin as he had seen the figure that appeared suddenly.
"Hi, Student Akabane. Nice to meet you." Greeted Felix ignoring Raishin's outburst.
Felix cam be seen wearing a black uniform with black cape that attached to his uniform while he is wearing a black military visor hat.
Charlotte had stunned looks on her face where she say: "Felix...why are you here?"
"Why not am I here, Char? Don't you realise what had happened here?" Responded Felix.
"Yo-You...are the Cannibal Candy!" Said Charlotte surprised.
"Correct, Char, but no reward for you." Replied Felix while smiling.
"Why you do this, Felix?" Asked Charlotte at Felix.
"Of course to be the Wiseman, Char, what else...Although I'm currently at 4th in the ranking, there is still a gap between me and those people at the top 3 where their strength too much for me." Answered Felix to Charlotte's question.
"But...why you need to sacrifice those innocent people, Felix?" Asked Charlotte again.
"Please, Char...you think that those guys are innocent? If they're innocent, they shouldn't attack you sneakily when you had fought with Student Akabane and try to take your Entry Code like that. If they want to fight like that, why don't they help me to achieve my dream by becoming the sources of strength for my automaton. They could become my assistant later when I had became the Wiseman." Said Felix at first while shaking his head before he continues his words and ending it while spreading his arms wide.
"YOU'RE INSANE, FELIX!!!..You think that by adding those superficial strength could help you to be the Wiseman. Those people in the top 3 couldn't be underestimated." Shouted Charlotte at first before she continues her words.
"Of course, Char, I knew that. That's why I will taking all the magic circuits the automaton belonged to you, Student Akabane, and finally, Student Ichijou." Commented Felix before he continues: "You know, Char. I'm jealous with Student Ichijou. I need to do all these things to fight with those top 3 but he could fight on par with Magnus where his automaton easily subdued all Magnus's squadron without any effort. When I received his automaton's magic circuit later, my ambition to be a Wiseman is not a dream anymore."
"You think that you could defeat him, Felix. You need to defeat me first before you could fight him." Said Raishin joining with the conversation.
Felix looks at Raishin and say: "Ah...Student Akabane. You think that I don't prepare for that...Look here..." Felix taps the shoulder of the girl in front of Risette before continues: "This girl here is my new automaton where I will use it to fight with the Student Ichijou's automaton. I think that my Risette could handle you easily but I don't think that I need to show my secret weapon at you first. Anyway, I don't care about that as long as I can took those magic circuits later."
Felix looks at his new automaton and order: "LIA, quickly handle that automaton and take its magic circuit."
The 10-years old girl or LIA, appears in front of Yaya suddenly before her right metal claw strikes at Yaya's chest which Yaya quickly crosses her arms to block it where that claw only succeeded to penetrate Yaya's arms.
"Yaya, return back here!!!" Shouted Raishin as he looks at that encounter.
Yaya jumps away from that place which LIA did not allow for her to retreat back as LIA strikes at Yaya again using both of her claws.
Yaya had been forced to stand on the spot where she could only parried those claws with her leg where Yaya's shoes had been made from durable materials that could hold the attack from those claws.
*BAAM*TINK*BAAM*TINK*
Sound of kicks and metal claws can be heard at the battlefield before white mist had appeared again in there as Risette had been recovered after Felix had gave some of his magic energy.
Yaya's fight continues where she need to block the strike from LIA and the effect of those mist that burned Yaya's skin.
Yaya slams her fist at the ground to disperse those mist and LIA before she quickly appears beside Raishin while breathing heavily.
"Shit...Although Yaya could fight with Risette evenly, she couldn't handle another opponent where it has higher capability than Risette." Commented Raishin to himself before he looks at Yaya and say: "Yaya, can you handle those two automatons or I will let Lily to handle this?"
"Although I could handle them, I need to increase my strength again which I don't recommend it, Raishin. So, I think that we need to ask for a help from Lily." Replied Yaya as she have numerous injuries on her body.
Raishin nods at her reply before looking at Lily where she currently protecting Charlotte which he say: "Lily, can you handle those automatons as Yaya need to recover first before she could fight again. We will try our best to protect Charlotte as you fight with them."
"Ok, Raishin-sama. I will leave Charlotte-sama's protection to both of you." Replied Lily as she nods her head before she dispersing her shield and slowly walking forward as Charlotte joins beside Raishin and Yaya.
Lily stops in front of Raishin and looking at the those automatons and Felix before she pinches the hem of her dress and bowing her head slightly as she say: "Well then, everyone. It's Lily's turn to fight with you all. I hope that we have a nice fight."
"Look here who had came in front of us...It's Student Ichijou's automaton. She had presented herself to us...why not we took her magic circuit now as her owner still not here? LIA, Risette, I want that girl's magic circuit. Quickly get that for me." Said Felix before he ordered his automatons.
Risette changes into her mist form while LIA dash towards Lily before slamming her right claw at Lily which being blocked by Lily's red shield. LIA continues her strike where her claws hitting the shield multiple times where there are no changes on the shield before white mist had surrounded Lily where those mist could not pass through Lily's shield.
Seeing that her mist could not pass through, Risette changes into her normal form while carrying metal ball spike in her hand before throw it towards Lily which only pushes back Lily slightly for several steps but the shield still undamaged.
The trio, Raishin, Yaya, and Charlotte could only see the fight with stunned expression on their face where LIA and Risette could touch Lily at all as she still inside her shield.
"She is so strong." Praises Charlotte unconsciously which Raishin and Yaya nods their head at her praise.
Frustrated with his automatons's performance, Felix shouted at them: "LIA, Risette, what are you doing?!! Increase your attack on her, I don't think that her shield is impenetrable."
Hearing Felix's words, LIA changes her stance as she currently on fours on the ground where metal claws appears on her hands and feet and dark aura surrounded her body while Risette unequipped her armour before red aura shone on her body as she holding a lance in her right hand and a sword in her left.
Risette's lance has increases in size where before this, her lance at 1.5 metres long and now, the lance at 2.5 metres long. Risette's sword has ragged shape at the middle of the blade while in 1.2 metres long. These two weapons are connected with metal chain where some of the chains currently laying on the ground.
Risette throws her lance at the same time of LIA dashing towards Lily where the lance had struck at the shield and push back Lily for another several steps before LIA strikes her claws at the shield where scratch mark had appeared on the shield before being repaired back.
Risette slams her sword at the shield as LIA strikes again her claws which she alternates between her hands and feet at opposite direction of Risette's attack.
Multiple scratches and cracks had appeared on Lily's shield as Risette and LIA continuously striking at that shield which the shield regeneration could keep up with their attacks.
After the continuous strikes, Lily's shield finally had been broken by Risette and LIA which Lily quickly separates from those two.
Seeing that Lily's shield had broke, Felix could not help but to say: "Hey, automaton. Why don't you become my partner as I don't think that you could protect yourself again after your shield had been destroyed by my automatons."
Listened to Felix's words, Lily could not help but to shake her head slightly which enraged Felix where he say at her: "Why are you shaking your head, automaton? Do you think that you could protect yourself?"
"Of course." Answered Lily firmly.
"I don't believe it. You just bluffing to drop my guard down." Commented Felix at Lily's answer.
"You see...what you had destroyed are my one-layer shield...How about...I do this?" Replied Lily slowly before she shows another shield but with two layers in it.
Felix just dumbfounded looking at that shield that had been generated easily by Lily but he does not know that she did not finish yet.
"If two layers are not enough, how about three, four, and five layers?" Said Lily as another layer of shield had appeared until stopped at five layers of shield.
Looking at the face of Felix that had been became green in frustration from Lily's showcase of her shield's generation, Raishin and others just laughing at Felix's fate where he needs to destroy that shield again to touch Lily's body.
