Conquering The Game's World

Chapter 87  Alicia vS Sera I

Masking her emotions, Sera tried to form a gentle smile on her face and greeted Alicia a little unnaturally. "Umm, it's good to see you again, after such a long time, Alicia."

Sera felt a little awkward not only because of her memories of the future but also because they were not considered close at all.

Although they were acquainted not so much as friends but as childhood playmates. After Alicia's mother's death, even that relationship was cut off.

Alicia had doubts regarding everyone and was afraid of being betrayed by someone close to her, so she became cold and preferred to distance herself from everyone.

Hence, it should be said that they haven't talked in years.

'Her expression is as cold as ever, well it's normal. After all, she is obsessed with her revenge.'

Sera didn't think that Alicia would reply to her greeting considering she was still very wary of people as she didn't know yet who her enemy was.

But much to Sera's surprise, Alicia replied with a nod.

"Hello Sera, it's been a long time."

Although Alicia's expression was still as cold as ever. But it didn't seem as distant as before. She even seemed quite relaxed. Completely different from the one in her memory.

'Wait a minute, what's going on with Alicia? If it was normal, shouldn't she just ignore me or look at me with a frown? What's happening here?'

Sera's mind was in a mess, not understanding the situation. Suddenly, a thought appeared in her mind.

'No, maybe at this time Alicia's obsession with her revenge wasn't as much as in the future.'

'It's normal that I didn't know about it. After all, I hadn't talked with her until the second semester of the first year.'

'If that is the case, then maybe I can change her mind.'

'I can convince her to give up on that stupid revenge of hers.'

Thinking of this, with a smile on her face, Sera said. "How are you doing, Alicia? You have become even more gorgeous."

Hearing Sera's praise, Alicia's cold expression eased a bit. Then, she also replied politely. "Thank you. You have become beautiful too, Sera."

Sera was a little exasperated as she screamed inwardly.

'What the heck?! Is this girl really Alicia?!'

'Who is this polite girl?! Where is that stinky-faced bitch?!'

Seeing Sera, whose expression was changing again and again. Alicia felt a little strange in her heart.

'What's up with her? Is there something wrong with her head?'

Before Alicia was surprised when Sera suddenly talked with her so familiarly. If it was before, she would have ignored her. But when she remembered Luis' words that he wanted her to try making friends in the academy, she decided to talk with Sera, whom she had known before.

'Well, I am fine without friends. I have Lily and Ivy with me to spend time with. But if he wants me to make friends, then I guess I can try.'

Now that Alicia already knew who their enemy was, she wasn't as wary of people as before. But she still didn't like socializing if it's not necessary.

'Still, though, Sera became a little weird from what I remember.'

Oblivious to Alicia's thoughts that she has been regarded as a strange person, Sera calmed herself down then showed a beautiful smile and said, "Have I? Thanks, Alicia. I hope we can have a good time while at the academy."

Alicia nodded noncommittally and said, "Before that, we should focus on this test first."

"Uh, yeah, you are right." Sera was still a little unaccustomed to this Alicia who was easy to talk to. It was like she was back to her personality before her mother's death.

"Then let's fight," Alicia said while unsheathing her sword.

Sera's expression also became serious as she gripped the staff in her hand tightly. She knew that at the time of the entrance examination of the academy, Alicia was the strongest candidate. Even the current Alex was not a match against her and only managed to get the 3rd position in the ranking.

'Alicia's current strength should be the five stars of Rookie.' But even if Alicia is 3 stars stronger than her, Sera was very confident in herself that she could defeat her.

'Although I still haven't gotten accustomed to my regression in strength and only have a golem as my summon. With my combat experiences over the years, defeating her is not a problem.'

'This time I'm going to eliminate both Alicia and Thomas so that my Alex can Rank First and become the top student.'

Just thinking about it, Sera couldn't help but get excited.

She immediately raised her staff and chanted.

"Earth Bind!"

The ground below Alicia rose and tried to clutch her feet. But she reacted in time, by jumping high in the air with a backflip and simultaneously launching an attack.

"Ice Shards!"

Woosh!

Facing the Ice shards and glancing at Alicia, who was still in mid-air, Sera smirked and then instantly chanted her spell.

"Mud Shield!"

A shield made of mud appeared in front of her and blocked the Ice shards. Then, calculating the position where Alicia would land, Sera chanted another spell.

"Quagmire!"

The ground where Alicia was about to land instantly became a swamp.

But even after she saw this sudden change, Alicia was unfazed. Just when her feet were about to land on the swamp. Alicia used her magic.

"Ice field!"

Then not only the swamp but even the surface of all the ground in their 30-meter radius froze and became an Ice field.

The trees, the rocks, the grass, and everything were all covered in a solid layer of ice. n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

Now the terrain was much to Alicia's advantage, and Sera was at a disadvantage.

'No way, she can use such a move now?! Just how much mana does she have?!'

Sera felt incomprehensible.

Of course, Sera doesn't know that the current Alicia is far stronger than she thinks.

Because, she differs from Alicia in her memory, this time, Alicia had Luis to compete with so she worked even harder to become stronger, she got trained by Lumine, an S-rank swords-woman, and she also got a lot of help from Luis, such as Akasha Necklace at the time of breakthroughs and many more.

So the current Alicia is much stronger than the Alicia in her memory.

It's no wonder that Sera feels surprised.
