The fight between Gracier and Alice was intense, but the result was a draw.
The two girls went to their seats to watch the next match; while they were not really satisfied with the result, it still showed that they had progressed. The result would have changed if it was a deathmatch.
''Next time, I will win.'' Gracier declared as she stared at Alice. Unexpectedly Alice responded.
''Me too.''
A beautiful smile bloomed on Gracier's face. Looking at their exchange, Alex smiled and thought.
'With Alexandra's help, Alice will come to like interacting with others.'
Just as Alex was about to announce the start of the next match, he frowned because he felt an incoming presence, and in a minute, she came.
''Wow! Good morning everyone.'' Eri greeted everyone while her eyes were scanning them; she stopped on Maria, who was already preparing for the next match.
''You are no fun. Starting something so fun without waiting for me. I am that unwelcomed?"
Alex ignored Eri as he knew if he were to give her a response, she would not stop nagging him. He regretted calling her to join them; he should have waited until they finished here.
''Who is this?"
Because it was her first time seeing her, Artemia was curious.
''An annoying classmate,'' Maria said, feeling a headache coming.
''I hear you!" Eri shouted while glaring at Gracier, looking at her as if she was a troublemaker.
''I did it intentionally, Pettanko!" Maria replied, making Eri's face darken.
Eris lowered her head to ask Gracier what the word Maria used meant, but Eri saw this and knew what she would ask.
''Little girl, if you tell her, I swear I will kill you.''
It was a mistake to try to threaten Gracier; she was not planning to say anything, at least not here, because, as a fellow sister, she knew how Eri felt, but she didn't know that and tried to threaten her.
''It means flat-chested girl. As you can see, she flat.'' Gracier answered with a smile, and Eri was about to erupt if she knew Gracier well, she wouldn't have to do what she did.
''You are dead, chibi!" Eri roared, as Maria did earlier to provoke her; she said a word she was sure the other party would know, and not knowing would push Gracier to provoke, and she could use this opportunity to beat some sense into her. She didn't want to challenge a little girl.
However, unfortunately for her, Gracier understood what she meant, how she could not? Sakuya was with her, and every night back on, Mysthia would teach her the Japanese language, and when she slacked off, she would punish her by calling her chibi, meaning small. So what Eri thought she wouldn't understand, she understood and got the reply.
''I'm still growing up, Baba!"
Alex was astounded; he knew his sister was a little rebellious, full-mouthed but not to this extent, and she was ready to intervene as he knew Eri would never let that word past, just by thinking what Baba meant. Alex almost burst into laughter but knew he better not.
''I will kill you.''
As expected, Eri finally couldn't control herself and was about to jump on Gracier, but Maria glared at her and made the first move.
She appeared before Eri and put her hand on her shoulder, lowered as though she would whisper the words into Eri's ears; Maria did the opposite.
''Don't be angry, Eri; it's not good for your skin. As you know at your age, you should take care of yourself and never easily get angry, after all, old lady die faster.''
''You! You!..." Eri could not form a coherent sentence as she was too angry to be able to.
Artemia, Noire, Lilith, Eris, and even Gracier felt pity for Eri; being handled like that, they were unsure if they could control themselves if they were in Eri's shoes.
Seeing that if nothing was done, there was a risk; it could evolve into something troublesome, Alex decided to intervene.
''You two, that is enough. If you have some different go on the stage to take care of them.''
To Eri, Alex's words were like a ray of light amidst the darkness; this light could lead her somewhere nice. So she turned her face toward Alex and smiled at him like how a lover would do, not having the slightest idea that what she had just provoked the sleeping dragon. Maria's eyes turned cold, Alex's body trembles he didn't dare to look at her. She was a woman, after all; At the same time, she did accept the other girls (Luna, Sakuya, Artemia, Sera), it doesn't mean she could not become jealous, especially if it a girl she never really appreciated and thought of her as a rival. Seeing her man help her rival left the ice empress in a bad mood; not only did she decide to punish the vixen for corrupting her man, but she would also punish the man as well.
''Fufufu! As master said, let's take care of our differences on the stage.'' Eri declared before jumping on the stage.
Little did she know that she had just signed her death warrant with those words she had just said. Smiling like a virgin, Maria turned her face in Alex's direction.
''No sex for two weeks.'' She murmured that only Alex could understand. Alex jumped back with a dark face.
Putting her hands together, he pleaded with his eyes.
''Please, sweety, don't do that!"
But Maria smiled and showed three fingers, making Alex fall into despair. Two weeks had turned into three weeks, he couldn't only lament, only Artemia understood the exchange between the two and decided to support Maria secretly, it was a way to win her on her side, while she might have said she did not wish to be the head of the harem anymore, Artemia wanted to become one, so she needed to make some allies in the harem, getting Maria on her side meant she would get both Luna and Sakuya as a bonus.
When the sad Alex looked in her direction to get some consolation, what he saw shocked him, Artemia put fingers in the air; the meaning couldn't be more clear. ''No sex for two weeks!"
''Just kill me!" Alex shouted.
