Chapter 499: Dark Knight

It didn't take a genius to figure out why Mitsuari Ayu was here...

And as if Misaki's suspicions were correct, Ayu suddenly began to advance; neither ice nor low temperature stopped her. Lowering the surprised eyes of everyone present, Ayu circled the piano with an elegant dance technique, as if she were the model for the song and as if it were written especially for her. She glided smoothly, and her beautiful white legs showcased her beauty...

Ayu's tenacity was remarkable, as the temperature where Yuki was located was as low as possible, yet this girl acted as if it didn't matter...

"Joker-sama~"

Ayu's waist swayed from side to side, and her elegant posture attracted the crowd. This action literally stole the hearts of many, as it was both sexy and gave the feeling that they were seeing a goddess...

She didn't stop there and used this opportunity to circle Yuki at the piano, touching his shoulders and using him as support to continue dancing...

"I missed you so much~"

The sweet voice entered Yuki's ears, her breath was heavy, and so was her longing...

---

"Wow, this is a surprise."

"Hehe, a dark knight has appeared~"

In the VIP area, Kurumi and La Folia's eyes narrowed, as they did not expect the appearance of this Dark Knight...

A Dark Knight is, after all, someone whom no one knew, but had the potential to even take first place...

What left Kurumi and La Folia speechless was the way Ayu flirted with her boyfriend, using her dance charms to attract her man. It was a good idea, especially in this situation. No matter the musician, he would feel flattered if a beautiful and elegant girl danced to his music, and the effect was much better if this girl danced for him, creating an atmosphere where only they existed, entering their own world...

At this moment, Ayu had literally won this first round. No matter the impact Misaki or Mikoto would have, both were far behind due to Ayu's bold move, and trying to imitate her would only bring the opposite effect. For this reason, Misaki did not join, and although her fists clenched tightly, it was only for a few seconds as it was not appropriate for a Ojou-sama to get angry and she still had to maintain her facade...

(This is just the beginning!)

There were 4 more games, and Misaki would not be defeated. So, she endured the jealousy and continued dancing...

"Misaki-chan..."

Even Dolly couldn't help but feel worried for her friend...

Ayu was now the most refined and dazzling Ojou-sama, supported by the public and the judges. After all, Saten gave her a perfect score...

But the song wasn't over yet. Yuki didn't stop and decided to play along with Ayu.

"Hee~ you've grown in these years, Miss Ayu."

"Hehe, is that so?"

This girl turned gently, and the movement of her hips did not stop. Similarly, she slid elegantly, and the upper part of her body rested on the piano. Her cheeks were flushed even in the cold, and her gaze was seductive, sending signals of love...

Even someone like Yuki couldn't help but stare into her eyes. This girl was already blossoming...

*Biri, biri...

(That woman!! Uchiha-san!!)

Mikoto's electricity flickered wildly, her eyes bloodshot. The jealousy within her was like a volcano about to erupt. However, she did not take any countermeasures. After all, Kurumi's message flashed in front of her...

"Kurumi Tokisaki: Calm down, Misaka-san, she hasn't won yet."

"..."

Fortunately, the song ended, and with it, the first round...

Similarly, Ayu finished the dance in a very sexy pose, her irregular breathing causing her chest to rise and fall, which was very tempting for a teenager with raging hormones...

But considering that this was not the right time or place, Ayu winked at Yuki and quietly withdrew. In the same way, one of the Ojou-samas controlled by Ayu approached and used her ability to raise Ayu's body temperature, thus preventing her from suffering from hypothermia...

Similarly, the piano and Yuki also disappeared, and everything returned to normal with Satori speaking again...

"Congratulations to the contestants for passing the first round and earning points..."

This round consisted of 10 points, which were given by the judges. After a few moments, on the screen, the public and the contestants could see their score, and just as La Folia and Kurumi expected, Ayu was in first place with a perfect score...

Behind her were Misaki, Kogou, Junko, and in fifth place, Mikoto...

All four with 9 points...

What was surprising was that Kuroko was in last place with 2 points. This girl was about to be eliminated; she was currently trembling with cold, and the fact that she was able to continue was due to the Ojou-samas around her who had cold-resistant abilities, and she was indirectly enveloped...

Fortunately, the song ended; otherwise, she would freeze and be disqualified...

"After all, time is precious, but so is rest. The contestants have 15 minutes; please prepare for the next round."

With the Ojou-samas leaving the dance floor, the audience began to support their favorite. Among the remaining 60 Ojou-samas, most were being supported...

Similarly, in the judges' area, the spokesperson, Saten, grabbed Yuki's shoulders excitedly...

"Joker-san, that was fantastic!"

Very little was known about the Joker, but it was a surprise to her to change the area at will as if altering reality, exciting her with how fantastic magic can be...

"A little trick, you don't have to pay it any mind..."

"Master! Please teach me magic!"

However, his words only made Saten's curiosity burn even more fiercely, and in the same way, it also affected the Nun, whose eyes also gleamed...

"I want to see too!"

---

"What a coincidence, Mitsuari-san, I must say it's a pleasure to see you again~✨"

Behind the scenes, the first thing Misaki did was greet the dark knight who appeared out of nowhere.

Of course, Misaki is not happy to see her, but she can also tell that this girl is here to cause trouble. After all, she is not a student of Tokiwadai, but remembering her mental power, enrolling was a simple matter for Ayu. Therefore, Misaki did not comment on that, but she also had to know the other party's objective and if she was also here for the prize...

If so, then this girl is an even more formidable enemy than Mikoto...

"Hmph, I'm also glad to see you again... I'm very excited about this!"

Contrary to Misaki, Ayu is happy to see Misaki, but this is for her goal. She smiled sweetly and longingly...

"Joker-sama will return to me again. The thought of us being together again excites me..."

"..."

Misaki's expression sank, but Ayu didn't care and continued...

"Since I am Shokuhou Misaki..."

---

"Ladies, the next round is about to begin...."

The fifteen minutes passed very quickly, and the Ojou-samas were again on the dance floor. The roulette wheel began to spin, and many Ojou-samas bit their handkerchiefs in nervousness, as their abilities were not omnipotent and were not always useful in some things. For example, in the previous round, there were many very talented Ojou-samas in the eliminated group who simply had bad luck...

<<Obstacle Race!>>

The roulette stopped, and immediately there was an ovation from the audience, as well as some participants, for example, Kuroko, who had a disastrous performance in the previous test, but the same could not be said for a certain starry-eyed Ojou-sama...

"..."

Misaki is a terrible athlete, her face darkened.

"Joou, don't worry..."

Fortunately, Junko comforted her, and Satori began to explain the rules of this round...

"An Ojou-sama must have class and a high-class figure, for that, exercise is necessary. Please, all Ojou-samas, you have 10 minutes to prepare. The obstacle race is about to begin..."
