Sylvia's overly certain words surprised Fang Li. This exceptional diva has always been open-minded, generous, and straightforward, capable of facing anyone with the utmost candor. She has never openly expressed hatred towards anyone.
For example, while most girls would despise a place like Rewolf Black Academy, Sylvia does not. Similarly, Rusalka, who has always been antagonistic toward Sylvia, has never been met with hatred from her; instead, Sylvia finds those silly girls quite cute.
Even for Valda and Laminamors, who once stole her teacher's body and became her enemies, Sylvia has only shown hostility, never disdain.
If you were to ask what Sylvia hates the most, it would probably be the twisted world caused by the Integrated Enterprise Foundation's ideology of prioritizing interests.
Thus, today's direct expression of animosity towards a specific individual is likely the first time Fang Li has seen this side of her.
However, upon reflection, it is not hard to understand.
"For someone like you, who values integrity, a purely evil character like 'The Tyrant' would indeed be an enemy," Fang Li reasoned.
After all, Sylvia has always hated scoundrels who manipulate others at will. Therefore, Sylvia can candidly declare that she hates this person.
"I've had dealings with 'The Tyrant' before," Sylvia continued. "The Student Council Presidents of the Six Great Academies gather monthly for meetings. On the surface, it's a venue for maintaining friendly relations and promoting mutual development, as well as ensuring the Festa runs smoothly. In reality, however, it's a stage for political power games, a place for probing each other's strengths and weaknesses. It's called the Rikka Garden Council."
"Since I often tour around the world, I rarely attend the Rikka Garden Council. But I've been to the few meetings I could manage," Sylvia tilted her head up and looked at Fang Li, saying, "From the very first meeting, I knew that I couldn't get along with this person."
To have Sylvia express herself so straightforwardly about this matter suggests just what kind of person 'The Tyrant' really is.
"However, I don't understand why 'Ereshkigal' listens to 'The Tyrant.'"
With that statement, Sylvia shifted back to the main topic.
"You should probably tell me the reason why you suddenly decided to come to Rewolf," She urged.
While saying this, Sylvia must have already guessed Fang Li's intention, right?
"There's really no particular reason," Fang Li replied. "I just want to see what kind of person that 'Ereshkigal' is."
That is Fang Li's intention.
"She can be compared to my Master and defeated you in the Lindwurm Festa, so I'm a bit curious, don't you think?" Fang Li glanced at Sylvia and remarked, "Moreover, you seem quite concerned about that Ereshkigal, don't you?"
"I'd say that's more of an obsession than curiosity," Sylvia said, tucking her hair behind her ear and speaking softly. "After all, I'm not one to easily give up."
Compared to Fang Li, Sylvia has more reason to pay attention to 'Ereshkigal.'
Up to this point, this 'Sylvia' has participated in the Lindwurm Festa just like 'Ereshkigal,' having attended twice.
However, in both instances, Sylvia has lost to her opponent.
The first time was a crushing defeat against someone she didn't understand at all.
The second time was in the finals, where she faced this formidable enemy head-on but still ended up losing, regrettably achieving second place.
Losing to the same opponent twice would make anyone feel unwilling, and Sylvia is no exception.
"So, what's next?" Fang Li asked. "Are you planning to participate in next year's Lindwurm Festa?"
"Of course," Sylvia answered without the slightest hesitation, her stubborn smile conveying determination. "As I said, I'm not one to easily give up."
"Is that so?" Fang Li smiled gently and said, "Looks like I don't need to help you get revenge."
"Revenge?" Sylvia was momentarily taken aback, then responded with surprise, "You're not saying that you came here for that purpose, are you?"
Just as Sylvia finished speaking, Fang Li suddenly flicked her forehead hard, causing her to cry out in pain.
"If it turns into a fight, then so be it," Fang Li said, laughing at herself. "Moreover, whether we can see the champion who has won the Lindwurm Festa twice in such a situation— who is theoretically the strongest student in this city—is still an unknown."
In fact, just as Fang Li said.
After walking around for a while, Fang Li and Sylvia had basically explored all of Rewolf, yet they hadn't seen a trace of that Ereshkigal.
It's not surprising when you think about it.
A character that famous would be impossible to appear in public.
Fang Li isn't oblivious to this fact.
But…
"If I can't see her, then why not have her come see me?"
Leaving behind this unfathomable statement, Fang Li took the bewildered Sylvia and left Rewolf.
…
Rewolf Black Academy, at the deepest part of the central school building.
Here lies a room.
A room without windows or any decorations, only equipped with the bare minimum necessary items, giving a sense of heavy prestige and authority.
This is the Student Council President's office of Rewolf Black Academy.
At this moment, in this office, a young man with deep red hair, short and stout, with large, bright eyes, sat behind the desk.
His body was dressed in the Rewolf uniform.
His facial expression seemed to be perpetually filled with anger.
A grim atmosphere emanated from this chubby figure, making it hard to believe he was an ordinary non-Genestellar person.
This person was looking through a space window, watching a segment of surveillance footage.
In the footage, a couple was wandering around the various corners of Rewolf Black Academy, looking quite happy and chatty.
Seeing this couple, the stout man named Dirk coldly snorted.
"If you're here for the school festival, you don't need to wander through every corner of this pathetic academy, do you?"
Saying this, Dirk took out a terminal and made a call.
After the call connected, Dirk simply stated, "No matter what methods you use, just figure out their intentions for me."
On the other end of the conversation, the other person silently hung up the phone.
Leaving Dirk to close his eyes, lost in thought.
