Chapter 309 Punishment Game
Anna shook her head calmly. "Since Noel has said everything that needs to be said, is there a need for me to add anything?"
"…" Stella and the others were dumbfounded, never expecting to have Anna reject this chance.
Still, Stella didn"t give up. "Well, if you want to say something, you should tell us clearly. Our group is not a jerk who will destroy you just because you"re a bit impolite. Besides, if you can tell us something we don"t know, we"ll be grateful. Basically, we see our weaknesses as a challenge to improve ourselves."
"Then, I won"t hold back." Anna smiled and turned to Zion. "You put too much Spiritual Energy in your boots, causing you to leave a mark on the ground. It can be traced by enemies. I don"t know if you"re already aware of it or not, but the Supreme Devil Organization has been implementing a system of working together with demons. What we"re fighting right now might not purely be a demon, so a trail like that is fatal.
"Stella has precision and speed but lacks power. Although she can hit the same spot many times with what she has, you"ll make your whole life a lot easier if you have strength.
"Jonathan"s Telekinesis is quite good already, so I don"t think I"ll say something about it right now. The same applies to Paul"s strength. His control over Spiritual Energy is already good enough. As long as he has good techniques and control over his weapon, he will be invincible on the battlefield.
"Ben is an all-rounder, which is good to have. But you have to remember that sometimes a master of something is better than an all-rounder. Of course, I"m not putting you off just because of this… Your all-rounder system is created with Spiritual Energy as your foundation, so you should add technique or something to solidify your foundation.
"Last but not least, Rose"s illusion is already good enough, though, I know it"s not what you usually use. The illusion is less solid than I thought."
"!!!" The people were dumbstruck by her observation. Noel had explained all their power, but Anna turned out to be able to criticize their strength. It was clear that in terms of sensitivity to Spiritual Energy as well as knowledge, Anna was superior to Noel.
Rose, as the calmest person in the group, managed to catch a glimpse of Noel"s expression. Noel might maintain his calm expression, but his gaze seemed to be telling her something else. It felt like he had known about this side of Anna and recognized her ability. In other words, he had accepted Anna to be superior to him.
"Wo-Woah?!" Paul smiled and gave a thumbs up, showing no hostility. "You"re good, Miss."
"I"m impressed." Stella nodded in understanding. She pointed at her bracelet and said, "Your a.n.a.lysis is correct, and this wristband is my way to handle my problem. It"s quite heavy, you know. In fact, everyone has been trying to solve their weaknesses."
"Thank you." Anna politely nodded, thanking them for not having any hostility because of jealousy or something.
"Since you"re this good, then I don"t think anyone has an objection to her joining the squad, right?" Paul asked, confirming the group"s intention.
All of them nodded, acknowledging Anna"s ability.
"Good. Then, let"s move on to the next introduction…" Paul glanced at Stella.
"Alright. In this step, we"re going to test your fighting ability. As you can see, you are currently a Spirit Wielder while we"re Spirit Masters. So, we want to test your ability to see if you can join our fight or not." Stella made a playful smile while adding a condition. "But this time, we"ll go separate ways."
"Hoh? Is that a challenge, Stella?" Paul smirked.
"Of course. We haven"t hunted anything today for the temporary food supply, Vice Captain. Don"t you think it"s better to do it now?"
"What are the objectives?"
"There are a lot of Advanced Level Demons in the Laguna Lake ten kilometers from here."
"Good enough for me."
Both of them smirked, challenging each other.
As soon as Paul accepted the challenge, Stella turned to Noel and Anna. "There you have it. We"ll go to the lake right now. I"m sure you"re not tired, right?"
Noel and Anna exchanged looks and shook their heads in unison.
"Good. The goal is simple. We kill as many Advanced Level Demons as possible. Our teams will only support you and try to give you some advice to help you in defeating those demons." Stella glanced up to see the sun"s position. "The moment the sun is right on top of us, the battle is over. The loser will be the gofer of the winner for the rest of the day."
"Sounds good enough." Paul nodded in agreement.
"Does the punishment…"
"Of course, it"ll be no fun if we don"t have punishment. As usual, the pair will be me and Rose, Paul and Jonathan, Zion and Ben. Last but not least, you and Noel. Whoever loses will be the gofer." Stella smirked. "This is our usual style of doing things and you"ll probably find it again and again in the future, so you might want to change the squad if you don"t like it."
"Anna becomes my servant?" Noel glanced at Anna. If they compared in raw power, he would stand no chance against Anna. However, he still believed his hunting ability was better than Anna"s. So, he had the chance to win.
"A game where I can make Noel do anything I want?" Anna smirked.
p Anna and Noel seemed to have their own ideas of what they wanted the others to do.ReadNovelFull.com
"Good enough. I"m in." Noel nodded, confirming his partic.i.p.ation.
"Indeed. I don"t mind releasing all my abilities in today"s hunt." Anna smiled excitedly.
"Haha, let"s go now!" Paul laughed as he led the group to the lake.
Meanwhile, Stella stayed quiet after inciting them. There was a reason why she suddenly fell quiet.
She had heard of what happened to her idol and the cause of everything was Anna Stargaze. So, it was kind of absurd to see a good relationship between Anna and Noel.
She brought up the punishment game to see Anna and Noel"s reactions to understand their relationship and the extent of what they would do to each other. At least, she wanted to confirm whether Anna planned to kill the last Ardagan or not.
