Chapter 1207: Chapter 671: Ninth-Rank Promotion Tournament

"Wow~! You guys actually stayed in the lab all night!"

The next morning, when Shen Sui walked out of the lab, Alice, who was happily having breakfast in the dining hall, saw Shen Sui and exclaimed with sparkling eyes.

Shen Sui’s mouth twitched slightly, unsure how to respond to that statement.

So he adeptly employed the tactic adults are best at!

"Did you finish the homework I assigned you yesterday?!"

Alice was dumbfounded.

No good person checks homework first thing in the morning!

"If you haven’t finished it, you can’t go out and play today," Shen Sui said, stern-faced.

"How could you~! I already have a duel scheduled," Alice puffed her cheeks and said.

The so-called homework Shen Sui mentioned for Alice was actually related to Gundam World.

Based on a plethora of intelligence from the Exploration Bureau and forums brought by Life Card Masters, the enterprise is highly likely acting as the mother ship for the Gundam in the Gundam World.

On the other hand, according to various clues, Haral’s last corpse fragment also appears in this universe.

So, once matters were settled on Dawn Continent, Shen Sui focused on this world.

Alice had traveled through many Soul Card Worlds before but had never truly encountered the universe.

Shen Sui was worried she might not adapt to combat in that environment, so he wanted to train Alice to prepare her for the next leg of their journey.

Actually, the training had already started, but Alice’s magical brain obviously had difficulty understanding things on the technology side, so progress had been slow.

Luckily, Alice isn’t completely clueless; she’s just not very studious, so there has been some progress.

Recently, the courses already involved Gundam piloting and spaceship piloting.

These can’t be realized on this island.

Shen Sui couldn’t possibly spend a fortune building a special training cabin just for this one-time training here, could he?

Another reason Alice wasn’t absorbing the lessons is that she’s been quite busy with dueling recently.

It’s not that she’s playful; she’s simply walking the same path as Shen Sui.

In a few days, she’s going to the academy to compete in the points tournament.

Once she ranks high, she can apply to start the ranking tournament.

As soon as she successfully ranks, Alice will march toward the professional league and fiercely shame Tang Lili in the professional arena!

Yes! Absolutely, she must fiercely shame that person!

Whenever she thinks of this, Alice feels her teeth grind with hatred.

She even calls herself an opportunistic bunny in the Soul Card World!

Disgraceful! It’s so disgraceful!

Those girls scoop me up and smush me against their chests—what can I do!

Clearly, they are taking advantage of me!

Thinking of this, Alice’s aura intensified.

Shen Sui looked at the fuming Alice and shook his head helplessly.

Why am I even competing with her?

Just then, Baris walked out of the lab with a flushed face.

She had changed into clothes specially prepared by Qishala, still looking just as beautiful.

Except for that blush on her cheeks, which seemed a bit out of character for Baris.

However, it was undeniably cute.

Alice ran tearfully to the side to start catching up on last night’s homework.

Darn it, why do I have to do homework right after returning from Dawn Continent!

What the heck is this warp thing anyway?!

And what on earth is a Dyson Sphere?!

Looking at the densely packed text in the materials, Alice’s head started to spin.

Luckily, Shen Sui wasn’t too harsh on Alice.

If it were other fourteenth-level powerhouses, they might have trouble adapting upon entering Gundam World.

After all, that world primarily leans toward the technological side, and strong beings from the magical or mystical side entering that world are basically like blank slates.

But Alice is different.

Once her Dawn Realm opens, she can freely use her powers within her realm, so there’s no such thing as being unadapted.

Thinking this, by afternoon Shen Sui generously let Alice go.

"Yay~!" Hearing Shen Sui’s words, Alice was like a school kid who didn’t have to do summer homework, tossed her materials aside, and dashed out the door.

"..."

"Still so childish despite being so grown up..."

Seeing this, Shen Sui couldn’t help but comment.

Vivian, who was chatting with Baris about the general situation of this world, chuckled.

Shen Sui turned his head in confusion: "What’s wrong? Was there a problem with what I said?"

Vivian’s lips curled upwards into a charming yet slightly cute smile, and she raised her index finger and shook it:

"Just a little reminder, Alice is actually a grade below you now. Only one grade~ below~ you~!"

Saying this, Vivian deliberately stretched out her tone.

"Uh..."

Shen Sui rubbed his chin and sat down.

He looked at the ceiling and then at the floor.

"Hiss... Has time passed that slowly?" Shen Sui asked puzzledly.

"You’ve just been doing a lot of things," Freymia laughed and said.

Of course, there’s also the matter of the time flow rate in the Soul Card World being different from reality.

Alice spends most of her time in the Soul Card World, of course doing plenty of things.

"Speaking of which." Vivian suddenly spoke up to remind, "Has Xinyuan Tanchun notified you yet?"

Notify?

Shen Sui was confused for a moment, then thought that Vivian must be referring to the Promotion Tournament for ninth-level Life Card Masters.

After the North American Conference, relying on those rivals to deliver their heads to me, Shen Sui’s points rapidly increased.
