Positive little sun, magical girl, I am awesome

Chapter 392 Observation Stand

The wind was cold and snowflakes were falling like goose feathers, but it did not dampen people's enthusiasm for watching the game. A thick red carpet had been laid out from the entrance of the school gate, leading all the way to the stadium, and the spectators in gorgeous costumes, like a surging colorful river, gathered towards the stadium from all directions.

Catherine, who was standing at the stands at the stadium entrance, finally breathed a sigh of relief when she saw this.

"I told you there's no need to worry." Leila, who failed to compete in the arena as she wished, now closely followed the princess to protect her safety. "Winter is long and boring, and it's rare to see something as exciting as this. The adults will come no matter how bad the weather is. Even my father came to watch the fun this time."

Leila mischievously did not tell her father that Lilith was also participating in the competition. She had confidence in her sister and was now waiting to see her father's surprised and regretful face.

Katherine turned her head and looked at the red-haired girl carrying a giant sword - "You talk a lot when you are nervous."

"Is that so?" Leila, who was originally leaning against the fence, stood up straight in panic. She refused to admit how worried she was about Lilith!

"And I can stutter." Catherine's eyes were filled with smile.

Only then did Leila realize that she had been fooled. She kept her mouth shut and refused to give Her Royal Highness the Princess a chance to tease her again.

Catherine was about to speak again, but she sensed a sharp gaze from the corner of her eye. She turned her head and saw someone in the audience passage below stopped in the crowd and looked up at her. When she saw her, she did not immediately avoid her like the others, but continued to stare at her.

——Who is that? Catherine quickly searched her memory for the face hidden in the fur hat, but couldn't match it with the nobles in her memory. To avoid being rude, she smiled politely at the lady below and nodded as a gesture.

"Let's go, Giselle." Aryan called out to his companions who were parked on the road from the front. He was annoyed by being squeezed together with these humans. Even the cold wind could not blow away the pungent smell of various spices on their bodies. Aryan pinched his nose and just wanted to find his seat quickly.

Giselle withdrew her gaze and followed her companions.

"Is there something wrong with that girl?" Aryan asked in a low voice, his slender fingers stroking the dagger hidden under the thick fur.

"She looks a bit like...Wang." Giselle said in a low voice.

Aryan was startled when he heard this, and also glanced at the stands, then turned his head away disapprovingly, "You always look at everyone like someone, and you are right a few times, hurry up and leave."

"Where do you get so much enthusiasm?" Giselle's new round of exploration plan was completely disrupted by this guy who followed him. He came to this noisy stadium for no apparent reason. "You always look down on those thieves, but it turns out that you steal better than anyone else."

Giselle pinched the ticket stub in her hand, which was Aryan's "evidence".

"If you hadn't said that the girl who stole the sword came from here, I wouldn't have followed you here. I was afraid that you would let her escape again!" Aryan had already lost half of his trust in his companions. "This time I want to take the sword and her hand back with me."

Aryan's tone was extremely grim.

Giselle was too lazy to argue with him and continued to move forward silently along with the crowd until she found her seat.

Just as he was about to sit down, he heard a "bang" sound. A huge noise brushed his ears, and Giselle's hands suddenly burst into light as if in response. The moment he turned around, he saw countless magic fireworks shooting into the sky!

The crowd around her burst into cheers. The sudden radiance around her was seen as part of a magical fireworks show. No one was surprised by this. Everyone just glanced at Giselle, and their attention was drawn away by the warm-up performance in the sky.

"Welcome to Goletia——College Cup!!"

A voice that was very familiar to the students rang out, and cheers rose again, ushering in a new wave of enthusiasm. Amidst this thunderous applause, Giselle silently crushed the light arrow that had not yet condensed in her hand, and sat down amid Aryan's laughter.

"I am the rock of the battlefield, the vanguard of the raging flames, the mentor of the night falcon, the iron fist of determination, the commander of the cold wind—Hurst!"

It was another annual routine. Instructor Hurst managed to finish his self-introduction despite the cheers from the students watching the game.

"Wow, let me see - we have a group of lucky new audiences this year! It's an honor. Goletia is shining because of you!"

Instructor Hurst narrowed his eyes at the commentary desk. Although his voice was smiling, he couldn't help but turn down the corners of his mouth. Fortunately, the commentary desk was high enough and no one could notice it.

"...Okay, you all know that being long-winded is not my style." After a long warm-up explanation, Instructor Hurst shamelessly said this, which once again triggered the students' fearless boos.

"The most tense, exciting and wonderful game in Goletia and even in the Gaia Empire - starts now!" Instructor Hearst excitedly pressed the button beside him. As the fireworks above his head exploded again, the ground began to rumble and shake, and the bare field in the middle began to change.

The nobles and wealthy businessmen who had never seen the world had already begun to exclaim at this time, but the students on the opposite side were already accustomed to it. Although they were also cheering, it was for the contestants who entered from the contestant channel.

"You're showing off your eyes." Leila glanced at Lilith, who was waving frantically at her schoolmates below, and snorted.

"Hey!" Lilith, with a red ribbon tied around her arm, waved her hand and approached the viewing platform where Catherine was standing. She looked up eagerly and asked, "Is there a laurel wreath or something like that as a reward for the champion?"

"Isn't it too early to think about these things after the group stage?" Catherine felt that she was too relaxed. The difficulty this year was different from the past.

"That's an honor that only comes with the Knight Competition. Why would the College Cup have one? I really don't know what you're thinking." Leila added with a snort.

"Okay..." Lilith curled her lips regretfully, "I was still hesitating about who to give it to. Now I don't have to worry about it."

Leila: ………She’s so annoying!!

"I'm leaving!"

Lilith waved to the two of them, and together with her companions, stepped into the flickering circle of light.
