Their world doesn't need gods.

Chapter 156: Roderick is in big trouble (1)

"Alta was called away by the principal. It seems that he has something to do."

Emilia explained.

"I see... If you don't mind, could you please chat with me for a minute? Miss Tabitha's coffee shop has launched a new flavor of pudding, and I'd like to ask you to try it as a token of my gratitude for your help just now."

"Eh?! Is this really possible?!"

Emilia was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help but grab Edward's hand excitedly.

"Um, no, no problem."

Adelaide seemed startled by her action and answered with a stiff smile.

"That's great... Ugh, but Al punished me and said I can't eat snacks for a week..."

"Eh? Is that so... I think it should be fine."

Adelaide thought for a moment and said.

"What does it mean?"

"Look, as long as neither of us tells anyone, Alfred won't know, right? Even if he does find out, I think if we explain it to him, he will forgive you, Emilia."

After all, he usually seems to dote on you.

Edward added this in a low voice at the end.

Although the sound was very low, Emilia had good hearing, so she could still hear it clearly.

"Since that's the case, I won't be polite, then?"

"Well, you're welcome. Let's go over there now. I've actually been wanting to find an opportunity to have a good chat with you, Emilia."

Adelaide said with a friendly smile.

"Eh? With me, not Al?"

Emilia tilted her head in confusion.

"Um, well, I want to have a good chat with you, Emilia-san. Do you understand?"

Edward raised his index finger to Emilia shyly and emphasized.

“I understand.”

Because her aura was really scary, Emilia had no choice but to say this.

"In that case, let's set off immediately, along with Fenri."

"Ouch~!"

?◇?◇?◇?◇?

(Damn it, really! Those losers are so arrogant and look down on me. How dare they look down on me like this?

And that bastard Brady, I didn't expect that he was also a guy who used cheats like the last boss. What kind of rubbish game world is this? There are too many people using cheats, right?! Planner, come out and get beaten!)

At lunch time, Roderick was eating lunch alone in the student cafeteria.

He complained in his mind from time to time, and at the same time he stabbed his fork hard into the steak for lunch to vent the resentment that had accumulated in his heart.

In Friday's duel, although Brady's puppet Seraph used an inexplicable attack, it killed Roderick's dragon turtle in one fell swoop.

But immediately afterwards, he himself fainted.

As the referee, Eudora immediately announced a suspension of the duel and called in the doctor Tiffany.

Only after making sure that Brady's life was not in danger did Eudora declare Roderick the winner.

Although he won the victory, Roderick did not feel any joy at all.

The bet he and Brady made before the duel was only a mere 100,000 credits, which was equivalent to 10,000 Nia gold coins if converted into cash.

That little bit of money wouldn't make you happy even if you won it.

Everyone was paying attention to the unconscious Brady. They were curious about the final blow that Seraph unleashed during the duel.

There are even quite a few students who support Brady's view that although he does have some personality problems, he is still a hero's son.

It was clear that he did not gain any benefit, and Roderick also lost the useful meat shield of the giant dragon turtle.

He borrowed money from Curitis and gritted his teeth to spend 50,000 Nia gold coins to buy this giant dragon turtle from Lucius, a second-year student.

Losing everything is the best way to describe Roderick's current situation.

He finished his lunch and prepared to leave the restaurant in a depressed mood.

At this time, Eudora and Aeril from the Student Council stopped him.

"Mr. Zimmerman, can you excuse me for a moment?"

Eudora asked.

"What are you doing? I'm very busy. If you have something to say, please tell me quickly."

Roderick responded unhappily.

Because of the duel, the impression Eudora left on him was terrible.

Although she is indeed very cute and a very strong and reliable female supporting actress, Roderick has completely lost interest in Eudora. It would be better to say that he hates her very much.

"Ah~ Junior Zimmerman, you are in a bad mood. Senior, we have something we want to talk to you about. Can you come with us?"

Ariel pulled Eudora's sleeve and spoke to Roderick on her behalf with a friendly smile.

Compared to Eudora's harsh attitude, Ariel made Roderick much more comfortable.

"If you just want to listen, it's okay."

Thinking that this might be a good opportunity to get closer to Aeril, Roderick decisively agreed.

But after arriving at the Student Union, the situation took a 180-degree turn.

There were many senior boys lying in ambush in the student union. When they saw Roderick coming in, they immediately rushed over and pinned him to the ground.

Not only did they press Roderick's head to the ground, they also roughly removed the bracelets and rings used to increase the upper limit of puppet summoning from his right hand.

Because everything happened so suddenly, Roderick was in a daze the whole time. He had no idea what was going on and did not put up any resistance.

When he came to his senses again, he found himself sitting in a dim room, his face illuminated by the glaring light of a desk lamp.

Sitting opposite Roderick was the serious-looking student council president Cecilia, and the secretary Rose, who was taking notes at her desk.

The current situation was like what Roderick had seen in TV dramas in his previous life, when the FBI interrogated criminals.

"Mr. Zimmerman, I'm sorry to have brought you here in such a rough manner. Do you have any idea why our student union wanted you here?"

Cecilia asked.

"Head, head, are you kidding me? What were you doing just now? How dare you treat me so rudely? I will complain to the college about your student union. Is this what your student union is supposed to do?!"

"I'm deeply sorry for what happened earlier, but this is for your own good. If you had made a scene just now, it would not only have put the students around you in danger, but you would have been in danger as well."

Although Cecilia showed a guilty look, her momentum did not weaken in the slightest.

On the contrary, her tone when speaking to Roderick became more serious and harsh.
