Reborn As A Ghost: Time To Build My Undead Army!

-----

"Pretty boy…" Katherine was still blushing as her wounds were rapidly healed, she felt no longer any pain or exhaustion, and a wave of relaxation washed over her body. "W-Why are you doing this? I didn't act nice with you or something…"

"I just dislike seeing a girl with your charisma and spirit being beaten… And me being the one doing it," sighed Arthur. "At the end of the day, we're just two students trying our best to make our family proud, right? It doesn't really matter to my family if I win or lose anyways… So it's your win, Katherine. I really don't mind giving you the victory."

"This… you… geez," Katherine averted her gaze from him. "You're going to make me fall for you or something now, pretty boy!"

"Hahah… she really likes calling me pretty boy…" Arthur thought, giggling a bit.

He helped her stand up, as Katherine cleansed her clothes from the dirt and the blood, sighing in relief.

"Well, I win then!" she smiled cockily. "I gladly take this victory!"

Katherine still held Arthur's hand tightly, and then looked at him, winking.

"Fine, you win… I'll give you my number later~"

"E-Eh?"

Although he did it mostly because Arthur was a noble raised by his father to always act like a gentleman, he didn't expect that it would have a different reaction with Katherine.

"Uuuh, how do I even reject her now?" he sighed internally. "I'm not really interested in romance of any type…"

Maria gasped, looking at her brother holding the cute Katherine's hand while she blushed and winked at him!

"Oh my gosh, my brother's such a lady-killer!" she gasped. "How is this possible?! Were this dad's teachings? He was quite the charming man I think but this is…"

"Well, he's a true gentleman!" laughed Lucifer.

"He totally won over that girl's heart…" said Sofia. "I know Katherine a bit, she's also from a very rich family, they probably have very high expectations from her… So she can't really afford to lose."

"He's nice, isn't he? My cute brother~" Maria felt captivated by his gentlemanly nature and his cute demeanor. "Maybe he'll get several consorts in the future!"

"I-I don't know if that's something a big sister should be thinking about…" said Alma, looking at Maria weirdly.

"A-Ahaha, sorry, my bad," giggled Maria.

"Uncle Arthur is really cool!" Celes said. "Right Nyx?"

"Yeah! He's the best uncle!" nodded Nyx. "I want to fight already! When is my turn?! Mam- I mean, big sis!"

"Ah, well, we first have to wait until the fight with Partner is over…" Maria said. "So be patient…"

"Our turns might come soon…" Nia was nervous. "Celes, get ready, alright? Also make sure to not underestimate your opponent. And go all-out from the start so they don't injure you."

"Okay mama!" nodded Celes.

Sofia and Alma wondered why Celes called his sister "mama", but they thought it might be because she acted like one towards him.

"Now let's see how Partner's handling that boy Junio. She has definitely been taking a while to beat him, it's surprising…" Emeraldine wondered.@@novelbin@@

"Yeah…"

CLAAASH!

Partner grew furious as she broke through the endless army of Giant Toys fighting against her, the dual spears she wielded pierced through their bodies, but the moment she did, they exploded.

They exploded all over her, constantly!

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

She was strong and tough enough to tank hundreds of explosions so far, but she was beginning to get tired and a bit exhausted, this was really annoying.

"I'm really trying to take this easy because I don't want to hurt a damn kid…!" Partner showed she actually had quite a soft spot for children. "But you're leaving me with little options, brat!"

"Hehehe, I wonder what you're going to do now!" laughed Junio. "Also I think I'm a year older than you!"

"SHUT UP!"

Partner roared angrily, as an explosion of Blood and Shadows erupted from her body, shaping as thousands of giant monstrous bats that started devouring the toys and tearing them to shreds.

"E-Eh?! You can summon too?!"

Partner had combined her Aura with her [Blood Familiar Summon] Skill, allowing her to quickly cover the arena with her own, monstrous bat-like creations.

"Heheh, surprised brat?"

Partner was going easy on Junio because she didn't want to hurt him, but this was the limit of her patience!

"If you won't lose yourself, I'm going to make you lose!"

She spread out a pair of huge bat-like wings made of blood, rushing towards the boy at lightning speed, resembling a crimson blur.

FLASH!

"A-Ahahaha! Y-You got really fast! G-Get away from meeee!"

Junio began to panic, summoning more and more toys that began to merge into a gigantic monstrosity.

"{Toy Chimera}!!!"

"GRUOOOHHHH!"

The chimera swung its gigantic arms made of plastic blocks and metal against Partner, who easily sliced through its attacks and cleaved her way through by spamming Crimson Burst.

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

"Weak."

She descended from the skies, reaching the boy and then transforming her hand into a gigantic crimson skeleton arm, with her sharp claws, she pushed him down.

BAAAM!

"Uwaaagh!"

Junio cried in horror, as he saw Partner pointing her spears at his arms and beginning to gently press the tip.

"I won't kill you. But if you don't forfeit right now, say goodbye to one arm, kid."

"I-I give up! I give up! D-Don't cut my arms, you savage!"

Junio started crying as he ran away from Partner…

Although she won and showcased her incredible power, everyone in the audience glared at her in disbelief, most people angry.

"What? Did you want me to take a lose?" she wondered. "I'm not losing! Too many had already lost!"

Hendrick sighed, nodding.

"A-And the winners of this round are Emily, Katherine, and Partner!"

The participants walked back to the audience's seats, while the new fighters were rapidly chosen, several new students walked down right away to fight, they didn't had time to waste after all.

"Wow, that was a bit meanie," laughed Maria. "Well done anyways."

"Hah… This damn trial, I want it to end already…" Partner murmured in a low tone of voice.
