Chapter 314: Reunion
Following the voice's instructions, Bloed brought Liu Ying and Aya to a nearby alleyway.
To their surprise, they did not meet any student in the way. No, actually, they met several of them, however, each one of them was lying on the ground unconscious.
It was as though someone had cleared them beforehand to open a path for Bloed and the girls.
And the identity of the people behind it was revealed as soon as they reached the alleyway.
"My hero!"
With an excited cry, a honey-haired young girl threw herself into Bloed's arms.
The sudden 'attack' surprised the group. Aya quickly grabbed her daggers and got ready to cut down the girl.
Fortunately, she was stopped by Liu Ying. Otherwise, the honey-chaired girl would have received friendly fire before being able to hug her hero.
Bloed received the petite girl in his arm with a surprised expression.
"Gina? you are in Academy City already? There are still several months left until the one-year agreement."
"Well, sister and I finished dealing with our matters sooner than we expected, so we decided to come here earlier to wait for you. My hero, I missed you so so so much!"
Looking at the excited silver eyes of the little girl, Bloed put on a wry smile.
"Right, if you are here, it means your sister is here as well, right?"
Just when Bloed finished talking, a figure descended from a nearby roof, kneeling before Bloed respectfully.
"My lord!"
"Sara." Bloed greeted the black-haired girl with a smile and raised an eyebrow. "Did you cut your hair short?"
"Mm. My lord, I'm here to fulfill my promise. From today onwards, I'll be your sword. I, Sara Sviel, will be the shadow that kills your enemies!"
Bloed smiled awkwardly. To be honest, he was not used to this kind of treatment.
But looking at the determined eyes in Sara's straightforward expression, Bloed did not try to refuse her.
He knew she was not going to change her decision.
In the end, he just sighed.
"Please rise. I'm happy to meet you again."
"Mm." Sara nodded curtly. She then looked at Liu Ying and bowed. "Miss Liu Ying, it's a pleasure to meet you again."
"… I did not expect to meet the two of you so soon." Liu Ying smiled wryly before glaring at the honey-haired girl who was still hugging Bloed's waist. "And you, little Gina, how long are you planning to hug my boyfriend?"
"Boyfriend?" Gina tilted her head. Immediately, her eyes glittered in excitement. "So you became lovers officially! Congratulations, sister Liu Ying!"
"T-That is…"
"How far have you two reached? Have you kissed yet? Mm, you blushed so it means yes. Then, how a-about t-that…"
"Gina!" Embarrassed, Liu Ying charged towards the little girl and blocked her mouth. "Y-Y-You… What are you saying!!!???"
"Hmmp, Hmmp… Hmmp hmmp hmmp!"
Watching the honey-haired girl twisting her body on Liu Ying's arms as she tried to talk, Bloed could not help but smile.
He then looked at Sara and the unconscious students nearby with a curious expression.
"You did it?"
"Yes, my lord. Gina predicted that you would be surrounded here, so she brought me here and asked me to eliminate the enemies in this direction to create a safe zone. You will not be attacked here for a while."
Bloed raised an eyebrow in surprise. This was a good idea.
Unfortunately, just two minutes remained before their location was exposed again and they had to face the students once more.
However, the fact that Sara managed to do something like this so easily was pretty amazing.
Observing the girl in front of him carefully, Bloed finally noticed something.
"Did you breakthrough?"
"Yes, I broke through to A-Rank recently."
Bloed was surprised. If he did not remember wrong, Sara was just eighteen years old. Reaching A-Rank at that age was very astonishing.
However, Bloed discovered that she was not the only one to breakthrough. Gina had also become a D-Rank practitioner.
Plus, she was a peak D-Rank practitioner, just a step away from reaching C-Rank.
It was a fast speed considering that she was an E-Rank practitioner just a few months ago.
"It looks like the technique I gave her was very useful."
Sara nodded.
"Yes. Thanks to my lord's technique, Gina's mana has grown noticeably. Moreover, her control over her predictions is much better than before. Even I'm surprised by her progress."
Bloed was not too surprised about it, though. Gina had an SS-Grade ESP ability, [Precognition]. With the appropriate training technique, her speed of growth would be incredibly fast.
Her situation was much better than Bloed who could barely use his SSS-Grade ESP ability.
While Bloed and Sara were talking, Gina finally escaped from Liu Ying's clutches and pouted.
"Sister Liu Ying is a bully. Wait until I become B-Rank, I will bully you back!"
"Little girl, it looks like you need to be punished a bit more, huh."
Noticing Liu Ying's vexed look, Gina's giggled and she hurriedly hid behind Bloed.
"My hero, sister Liu Ying is bullying me!"
"Gina, stop causing trouble," Sara heaved out a long sigh. "Sorry, my lord. My sister has become much livelier since you cured her illness."
Gina stuck out her tongue to her sister before looking at the cat girl who had been silent until now.
"By the way, who is her? A new sister?"
"What are you talking about? She is Aya, a friend. Aya, they are Sara and Gina."
"Mm. Nice to meet you." Aya greeted the two girls expressionlessly. However, her gaze was completely focused on Gina.
More accurately, she was staring at the arms that were wrapped around Bloed's waist.
Gina looked at the cat girl for several seconds before nodding as though understanding something. "Nice to meet you. I'm Gina, my hero's future wife."
Liu Ying, Aya, and Sara's froze.
Even Bloed looked at Gina with a stiffened look.
One second later, Liu Ying's cheek twitched.
"Little Gina, it looks like you will not be happy until I taught you to not aim for the boyfriend of someone else, huh?"
"Kyaa! My hero, sister, save me!"
Bloed sighed tiredly.
He could already imagine that his days would not be peaceful with this little devil around him.
Sara sighed as well and bowed deeply.
"I'm sorry about my sister's mischievousness, my lord. You don't need to pay attention to her words. She is not speaking seriously."
"Do you truly think so?"
Sara looked away.
Sighing again, Bloed shook his head.
Then, he looked towards the clouds with a bitter smile.
He was sure he could feel a very sharp glare coming from up there.
For some reason, it seemed like the glare of his slightly jealous silver-haired girlfriend.
…
Meanwhile, in another part of the city.
A man looked was standing a group of healing mages with a stern expression.
"Remember, you must pay attention to the state of the unconscious students. The safety measures of the headmistress should be flawless, but just in case, you should check if they were injured. After that, you must bring them to the infirmaries of the city. Any question?"
"""None, leader."""
"Very well, you know what to do. Now, go!"
The healing mages nodded, formed groups of five people, and departed to different areas of the city.
At that moment, however, the man noticed something strange about one of the teams.
For an instant, he thought he saw the number '54' tattooed on the nape of one of its members.
However, this number was quickly covered under its shirt.
'… How weird, did he always have that tattoo there?'
Unfortunately, the man did not think more about that.
Otherwise, perhaps many students would have not suffered a tragic fate.

Chapter 315: Messy Battle (1)
Two unexpected chappies here...
...
Although Bloed was rather happy about the reunion with the two sisters, the truth was that it did not improve their situation much.
Something fortunate was that the two sisters were also part of the game. They had arrived just two months ago, so technically, they were still newcomers.
Sara and Gina's team was team blue. Technically, they were Bloed, Aya, and Liu Ying's enemies; however, it was obvious the girls had decided to betray their team.
But even with them helping Bloed's group, the situation was still bad.
After all, three people against hundreds of people and five people against hundreds of people were equally hopeless.
Plus, it was obvious Gina would not be of much use during a battle. Fortunately, the elder sister, Sara, was much better in that aspect.
As an A-Rank powerhouse, even if she just attained that level, Sara could be considered as the strongest student among the newcomers.
Moreover, she was an assassin, so her lethality was beyond her cultivation. Perhaps even a peak A-Rank practitioner could die at her hands if he was not careful.
"I guess having her with us is reassuring, huh," Bloed muttered to himself.
But then, he furrowed his brows.
Bloed looked in a certain direction and put on a serious expression.
He could pick up some voices coming from there.
"They must be nearby! I can see many unconscious students around here!"
"Find them! They can't have run far!"
"Be careful! Don't try to take them down alone! They are very strong!"
Aya, Liu Ying, and Sara also picked up these voices.
"It looks like we can't stay here any longer." Liu Ying said with a frown.
Bloed nodded.
Connecting his mind to Oculus, he used it to observe the situation in the surroundings.
With just a glance, he saw hundreds of students moving through the streets nearby.
Furthermore– Bloed took out his invitation letter.
'It will reveal our location in less than one minute. By then, we will be swarmed by students again.'
"Do you have a plan, Bloed?" Aya asked worriedly.
Bloed thought for a second before nodding hesitantly.
"I do. It's not much of a plan, though. However, it's our only option."
"Huh? What is it?" Liu Ying tilted her head.
Bloed smiled softly and his eyes glowed with an ice-cold light.
"Let's become the hunters."
"Huh?"
Seeing the confusion in the faces of the girls, Bloed explained his plan to them.
"You see, we underestimated the words of the headmistress. When the students heard that the headmistress would reward them if they caught us, they became crazy. They even stopped fighting between themselves just to catch us.
"If things continue like this, we will be constantly besieged and eventually eliminated before all the members of either team blue or team red are completely eliminated."
The girls' eyes flashed in realization.
"In other words, we need to make sure that a team is defeated before us." Liu Ying said.
"Yes." Bloed nodded. "We need to eliminate all the students belonging to one of the teams."
The girls looked at each other with serious expressions. Bloed's plan was easier said than done.
Moreover, most likely, some clubs were protecting some members of both teams just to avoid this situation. In other words, they would have to face the clubs directly if they wanted to eliminate these members.
However, that seemed to be their only way to victory.
"What team are we going to attack then? Team blue or team red?" Liu Ying asked.
But before Bloed could answer, the lively honey-haired girl raised her hand.
"Leave it to me~."
Then, she closed her eyes and put on a focused expression.
Frowning, Bloed stared at Gina curiously. But quickly, his expression turned into one of surprise.
He could feel a trickle of psychic energy flowing through Gina's brain.
And that energy activated some kind of power.
It was her ESP ability, [SS-Grade Precognition]!
It was an ability that allowed Gina to 'see' the possible futures.
However, Gina had recently discovered that her ability allowed her to 'see' much more than the future. In fact, the future was one of the most difficult things to 'see'.
But if she wanted to see the past or find something in the present, it was much easier.
And right now, she was using her ability to 'see' the present.
Bloed did not know it, but at that moment, countless scenes were flashing through Gina's mind.
Each scene was different. Some were very vague, and others were very accurate. Some were very fantastic, and other incredibly realistic.
Happy ones, sad ones, tragic ones, all kinds of scenes appeared on the lively girl's mind.
But Gina ignored them. Instead, she focused her power to find what she wanted to see.
And soon, she found it.
Among the countless scenes, she saw one that had the information she wanted to see.
Curving her lips up, she opened her eyes and looked at Bloed with a look of pride.
"You should attack the blue team. They had fifty students less than the red team. I can even tell you the location of all the students on the blue team if you want."
Bloed was surprised. But in the next second, he grinned and clasped Gina's cheeks happily.
"You are amazing, little Gina!"
He then kissed the honey-haired girl's forehead.
Gina stiffened in surprise. One second later, her face turned completely red and her mind turned blank!
"Hehe...~"
Bloed did not have the time to pay attention to that, though. Now that they had chosen a target, it was time to act.
But before that–
"Sara, I need your help with something."
"I'm listening, my lord."
"Nobody knows that you are on our side, so you will be able to move with much more freedom. Your mission is to eliminate as many people of the blue team as possible while we attract the attention of the crowd. Can you?"
"Don't worry, my lord. I will not disappoint you."
"Good." Bloed grinned. He then took several earphones from his storage device and gave one of them to each girl. "Take it, we will communicate through them. You know what you need to do."
"Understood."
With a determined expression, Sara nodded and took her earphone.
Five seconds later, she and her sister ran off to complete their mission (Gina was still in a daze after receiving that forehead kiss).
Fifteen seconds later, a golden light once more revealed Bloed, Aya, and Liu Ying's location.
Thirty seconds later, the fierce battle between Bloed, Aya, Liu Ying, and the other students resumed.
