The outer corridor on the fifth floor of Christian Hotel, in the eastern part of Macnadix City, the capital of Manasvir Empire. It was already midnight and the competition for the top 20 qualifying matches for the Olsylvia Academy would start tomorrow. Most of the students had gone to bed.
The late-night visit of the Priest Isaman was beyond Bella’s expectation, and what made the latter secretly excited was Isaman’s clothes. Although she had only dressed this way upon listening to Kriss’ advice, Bella was still very satisfied. It was the first time she saw the conservative Isaman in such garments.
Fortunately, Isaman was here to see Bella. If she tried leaving the hotel dressed like this, Bella would be the first to refuse. She wanted to exclusively enjoy such a tempting picture.
Upon seeing Bella, Isaman flushed and scanned the room, blushing some more due to the forbidden scene in the room. As one of the princesses of Manasvir Empire, Isaman knew the daughters of the Four Cardinal Warlords and had an impression of Queen Manya Felan.
After seeing the strange things they were doing, Isaman felt a little embarrassed. Before knocking at the door, she heard weird noises coming from these beautiful women. She had assumed it was someone she didn’t know. Never mind if it was a stranger. After all, Isaman knew about Bella’s special hobby for beauties.
Who would’ve thought they were Isaman’s acquaintances? She should have guessed that Bella liked inviting people she knew. It wasn’t until then that Isaman realized how dangerous it was to dress like this. If Bella was any ordinary girl, Isaman would be fine.
The problem was Bella’s interest in beauties, and Isaman was dressed too sexy. Perhaps Bella would think she was trying to seduce her. She had previously assumed Kriss was a good girl, hence the trust in her. Who knew Kriss was hiding her wickedness? She deliberately lured Isaman into dressing up so sexy and provocatively to see Bella.
At this thought, Isaman subconsciously wanted to retreat. Her hands stretched out to try and cover those voluptuous breasts. Bella responded quickly, reaching out to hold Isaman at once, preventing her from covering her chest. Who was she kidding? The gift delivered to her doorstep couldn’t be given up so easily. If it weren’t for Isaman’s strength, Bella would’ve pinned her to the bed by now.
“Bella, can’t you behave normally? I’m afraid. I’m a girl. Calm down! Don’t be like this, alright?”
“Isaman, don’t be nervous. I’m a girl as well. Everyone here is. What’s there to be shy about?”
“Bella, your eyes are too wicked! I’m here to talk business. Don’t mess around, or, or I’ll transfer to avoid you in the future!”
“Isaman, you can’t run. Well, I won’t do anything to you. Let me take you to a quiet place where we can talk. The environment here isn’t suitable for business!”
After a short encounter, Isaman lost to Bella once again and followed the latter into another room. She had no choice. If Isaman didn’t go with her, Bella threatened to kiss her in front of her acquaintances.
One was wearing black pajamas while the other donned a transparent purple nightdress with matching Gothic-style cut-out purple lingerie. The two seemed like a couple out for fun, walking down the hotel corridor at midnight. Upon arriving in Bella’s other room, Isaman looked conflicted. Bella’s tastes were shocking. To think that she actually managed to find such a room. All that talk about calming her down was hogwash!
This was an oversized suite in a hidden location. Its color matched the special lovers suite in those love hotels–bright pink, with a big bed covered in flower petals, a steaming hot bath, and carpets woven with various flowers. It seemed Bella had deliberately arranged this. The bath and bed, which were originally covered with red rose petals, had been replaced with pure white lily ones.
However, this wasn’t the cause of Isaman’s embarrassment. It was alright if two beautiful girls temporarily shared this lovers’ room if they had no other place to live. The problem was the look of the facilities in the room. Not only did the hotel provide comfort, there were also special adult-oriented facilities.
Another part of the room was filled with all sorts of novelty items that would only appear in hentai. Triangular platforms, chains hanging from the ceiling, big mirrors, various types of ropes, leather whips, shackles, the whole shebang.
There were many black queen outfits and maid costumes on the wall, as well as black eye masks, all sorts of ball gags, tails, rabbit ears, cat ears and other imitation animal ears. There were dozens of collars on the wall and suspicious water stains vaguely visible on the ground. It seemed that someone had just used the room. The air was filled with perfume commonly used by beauties.
“Bella, this room is no good. Let’s switch to another one.”
“Isaman, you misunderstand. This room was designed by Noesha. This is where she usually entertains the other girls. It happens she’s not playing tonight, so I get to use the room.”
“I’m not talking about this. Bella, can’t you find a normal room! A normal one!”
“This is the most normal room, Isaman. Before the Christian Hotel was taken over by the Rose Society, it was a love hotel. So the rooms here are a little special. Besides, the room also has a more innocent area so forget about the other details!”
When it came to erotic matters, Isaman felt that she couldn’t argue with Bella. Thus, she was led by Bella to the bed. After locking the door, Bella walked to the bedside and sat next to Isaman. She tried to exercise restraint and hide her excitement from the latter.
“Isaman, would you like to change into the black leather outfit hanging over there? It’ll feel much cooler.”
“Bella, that’s enough! Isn’t that a bondage suit? Don’t think I’m as gullible as the other girls!”
The lighting in the room came from red candles, which had other special uses besides illumination. Isaman soon saw through Bella’s “evil intentions” and wasn’t planning to allow her evil plan to succeed. If she really put on that strange black leather outfit, Demon King Bella was sure to “kill” her like those beautiful girls she saw in the room before.
Isaman proposed to change the bet, the reason being that the original witness, President Lucia was now on Bella’s team. Since the bet had lost its witness, it should be changed, as well as the chips.
Naturally, Bella refused. She had a lot of trouble getting a chance to turn Isaman into one of her “temporary maids”. If she missed this, she would never have the chance again. Knowing Bella was unlikely to give in, Priest Isaman didn’t insist either. The possibility of getting Bella to change the bet was very low. She merely wanted to standardize the maid contract by asking for a revision.
After repeated discussions, Bella finally reached a new agreement with Isaman. Bella wasn’t required to win the championship. As long as she defeated Isaman, whether in the current round or the final, Bella would be considered the winner. As a concession, Bella couldn’t force her to wear those shameful clothes and do anything unrelated to a maid’s duty, unless Isaman was willing.
Bella had no problem with it, so she readily agreed to Isaman’s request. According to Isaman’s Black Warrior strength, Bella was unlikely to lose. As long as she stayed by Bella’s side, Bella had all sorts of means to set up Isaman. She wasn’t worried about getting Isaman into bed.
After reaching an agreement, Bella told Isaman to stay for the night. It was already late and Bella was worried for Isaman’s safety, especially since she was dressed so seductively. In Bella’s opinion, Isaman being appointed as her maid was a sure thing since she was certain of the outcome of their match.
In a show of sincerity, Bella even got up and left the room. Spending the night in the same room with Isaman might incite certain impulses. Bella was worried she would lose control and have her way with Isaman. Isaman looked even more tempting dressed like this than naked. Bella’s initiative won her points from Isaman. She felt that Bella wasn’t so unreasonable after all.
There was inexplicable regret in Isaman’s heart. She had held a little expectation before, expecting Bella to behave “worse” and pin her down directly. Bella was rarely this good but Isaman wasn’t sure whether she was happy that her virginity remained intact, or if she should regret not being bullied by Bella. Thus, Isaman went to sleep in this contradictory mood. The other person awake was Bella. Of course, she had a rich nightlife and many interesting programs waiting for her!
Early the next morning, the top twenty girls set off for the imperial city arena to prepare for the final while the rest stayed behind. Bella left her teacher, Dragon Knight Ingrid, in charge. The girls staying in Christian Hotel could watch the live broadcast.
This hotel was the safest place in Macnadix City, the capital of Manasvir Empire. Once a large-scale demon battle broke out, the soldiers near the hotel could protect the safety of the girls. Bella had prepared for the worst. If war was inevitable, it could only be fought in the imperial capital, and she had to protect the safety of her people.
The venue for the final battle of the top twenty matches was still the Sky Arena where Bella first became a legend. After three days’ renovation, the entire Sky Arena had taken on a new look, without traces of the previous battles.
A little different from the previous tournament, the matches between the top twenty students were formal 1V1 challenges. The dragon mounts, which were banned in the semi-finals, were now accepted. After all, this being the last tournament, there was no point restricting the players’ strength.
Basically, they were all single matches. From twenty to ten, ten to top five. The top six would compete for the top three. To be the final champion, they had to fight at least four matches.
In the first round, the list for the top twenty matches was released. Bella’s two substitute bodies wouldn’t compete against herself or the Black Warrior in the first round. In the first round, Dragon Knight Duchess Bellina fought against Holy Swordsman Cynthia, representing the Radiant Church, while Dragon Mage Baize went up against President Maria, successor to the Light Pope of the Radiant Church.
The other matches were Priest Isaman confronting “crossdressing loli” Charlotte, and Puppet Master Elaine against “fake shota” Demir. Golden Eighth Chapter Emiga was up against Dragon Knight Lisha while Demon World Princess Diaz, pretending to be a human’s demon familiar, was matched against Swordsman Kriss.
There was no suspense for these four matches. Charlotte and Demir were competing in the name of fun and threw in the towel before the match even started, so that Isaman and Elaine were promoted without fighting. In the final, they were allowed to throw in the towel in advance, which ruined Isaman’s plans. She had intended to deliberately lose in the first round so she wouldn’t meet Bella in the next rounds. If they didn’t fight against each other, then the bet would be cancelled.
Who would’ve thought that her opponent would surrender so quickly? Crossdresser Charlotte gave up before the match, which allowed Isaman to advance to the second round. She had no other choice but to pray in her heart that she wouldn’t meet Bella next.
Golden Eighth Chapter Emiga was merely an alchemist. Her fighting capacity was nothing compared to Magic Dragon Knight Lisha. After several rounds of testing her opponent’s strength, Emiga also chose to throw in the towel, leaving herself some dignity.
With Demon World Princess Diaz’s strength, she could’ve taken on Kriss. However, she was now pretending to be the Golden Eight Chapter Emiga’s demon familiar. Under Bella’s orders, Diaz feigned weakness and lost her magic powers due to her master’s defeat. Just like Charlotte, she surrendered early on, allowing Kriss to advance without injury.
The other four groups were Assassin Noreya versus God Chosen Holy Maiden Sophia, Mage Ariel versus Scarlet Knight Princess Pamela, President of the Disciplinary Committee, Frost Knight Natasha versus Holy Maiden of The Commandments Daisy and Chief President of the Central Student Union, Queen Enchantress Angelia vs Assassin Lola.
Due to the plan they made last night, their battles were rather relaxed. After all, the Holy Maiden Sophia and Daisy were merely priests, so their main moves weren’t battle-oriented. After a brief confrontation, they surrendered, allowing Assassin Noreya and Dragon Knight Natasha to advance to the second round.
Being a Holy Knight, Princess Pamela didn’t use a flying mount. During her battle with Mage Ariel, who attacked in the sky with flying magic, Princess Pamela couldn’t return an attack. She soon surrendered as agreed upon last night so Ariel could advance to the second round.
Meanwhile, Assassin Lola, who easily surpassed the former chief assassin of the academy, Ivy, happened to have a profession that suppressed President Angelia, an Array Master. She would’ve defeated Angelia, but upon further contemplation on Bella’s part, Lola was told to keep her strength secret in case of an unforeseen situation. Thus, Bella asked Lola to surrender so Chief President Angelia could move on to the second round.
Bella indirectly controlled the top twenty matches. If she had started a bet, she would’ve swindled a whole bunch of gamblers. Although the groupings were only known today, eighteen of the top twenty contestants were members of the Rose Society. There was certainly no way to prevent Bella from interfering in the competition.
In the entire audience, the imposter Emperor Manas the Eighteenth wore the ugliest grimace on his face. The matches were grouped according to his plan. Originally, he had hoped to cause friction among these top twenty girls so both sides lost. Who knew that these girls were colluding with each other? Most of them either threw in the towel or lost after a few moves, with none of them badly injured. If this continued, the task entrusted to him by the Evil Creator God would be considered a failure.
Bella couldn’t care less about this. She had always lived by the motto of making herself happy. What others did was their business. She was currently using her identity as Duchess Bellina in a match against Holy Swordsman Cynthia of the Radiant Church. Cynthia’s name wasn’t made public, with only the words “Holy Swordsman” written on the match list.
Because of the requirements of the Radiant Church, Cynthia’s status as Holy Swordsman meant she could only adopt a semi-public identity at present. The students in the audience watching the battle only knew that the Holy Swordsman was a student of their academy, but were unaware that she was the Student Union Secretary to Chief President Angelia.
Cynthia usually wore a special mask to disguise her identity and a different hair color. The only ones who knew her identity were the upper rungs of the Radiant Church. If Bella hadn’t taken her down previously, President Maria and President Angelia might still be unaware of Cynthia’s true identity.
Watching beauties fight was also a sort of enjoyment. Because Swordsman Cynthia was a silver-haired beauty, her popularity was only slightly higher compared to Dragon Knight Bellina.
“Bella, although we made a secret agreement last night, I am the Holy Swordsman. If I surrender without a fight, I won’t know how to explain myself to the Radiant Church…”
“Cynthia, I understand. This time, I’ll make it a convincing victory.”
