Chapter 1571

There is a large pathway connecting the northern parts of the Walpurgis Academy with the southern parts.

This main street branched off into multiple smaller paths that led to lecture halls, dorms, and student cafeterias.

When school's out or a change of period, these streets would be filled with students.

It's close to night so most students are already back in their dorms.

Even so, there are still a few students here and there.

They were shocked by what they saw. A lady with a beret and a mini-dragon on it led a guy and 5 ladies to a certain area.

The students gave way when they saw her marching over. They were afraid and intimidated by her as if she is a devil.

Some of the students shivered in fear just by being close to her.

They looked at the guy and his 5 stunning ladies.

"Who are they?"

"No uniforms, freshmen?"

"They've guts."

"They're with T-Rex Girl."

Wu Yan heard the whispers.

He exchanged a look with Natsuki. One of them grinned while the other one listened more intently.

Wu Yan blurted it out nonchalantly.

"Hey, you're pretty famous in this school."

"Yeah, the nerve on you to make me guide you."

She scoffed.

"Aren't you afraid I might dice you up?"

"Dice me up?"

He raised an eyebrow.

"You're not just famous, you're confident in your abilities."

"You just enrolled, you don't know me, bumped into me, and the fact that you're still calmly questioning my abilities and fame is the true testament to your own confidence."

"You think you're a hotshot just because you can control 5 Automata?"

There is a huge disparity between a powerful Automaton and a poorly-made one, depending on the attributes and nature of its Magic Circuit.

Similarly, an unskilled puppeteer cannot fully utilize a well-made Doll. It is common for the Puppeteers to fall short of the requirements needed to use their Dolls efficiently.

This is why countries around the world value skilled Puppeteers more than trying to increase the number of formidable Automata.

She doesn't know the nature and Magic Circuits of the Automata around Wu Yan.

However, she wants to know his skills.

Automata lived on the magic power of their masters.

Without a magic power supply, Automata are just empty husks.

The stronger the automata, the higher the skill requirements for Puppeteers to properly utilize the doll.

The more the Automata employed, the higher the magic consumption and skills needed to coordinate and operate so many dolls simultaneously.

This is why most Puppeteers only had one Automaton with them. Specializing in controlling one Doll skillfully beats sucking at controlling multiple Dolls at the same time.

Moreover, the Puppeteer with fewer Automata suffered lower mana consumption as the battle drags on.

There are two possibilities:

This man is either an incredibly skilled Puppeteer who can wield 5 Dolls at the same time or he is an utterly insane dude.

The difficulty of controlling multiple Dolls couldn't be underestimated. Not to mention, mana consumption is highly prohibitory.

If he runs out of mana mid-fight, he will lose immediately no matter the strength of his Dolls.

More likely than not, this guy is biting off more than he can chew.

Anyway, she needed to confirm it.

Firstly, the ladies can move around without requiring much input from Wu Yan.

He is a complete novice in terms of Puppet skills.

But, his magic power on the other hand...

He's like a walking mana pool.

He could probably supply an entire army of Automata with his magic power.

"As for whether I am powerful, well, that's for me to know..."

Wu Yan grinned.

"Just like my own abilities, only I know the power my Automata can exhibit..."

"Hmph."

The lady snorted.

"Anyway, don't cross me or I will dice up you and your Automata."

Nagisa and Astrea were not happy with her attitude. Kanon also pulled the two back to prevent them from getting feisty with her.

Natsuki and Ikaros watched the debacle silently like Automata.

Soon, they saw a villa that was low-key luxurious.

"That's the guest house."

She waved her hand as if to shoo off the fly known as Wu Yan.

"There are many rooms inside, your key should have the designated room number engraved on it. Go figure."

She left with her dragon still on her head.

"That brat, she might talk smack but she still led you here as the guide."

Natsuki opened her mouth.

"Her heart is in the right place but her mouth isn't."

"Yeah..."

The lady stopped after Wu Yan suddenly yelled at her.

"Hey! What's your name?!"

The lady turned around with a barely restrained smile.

"Charlotte Belew! Don't forget the name of someone who might dice you up!"

The lady left after that bold declaration.
