As time passed, the atmosphere constantly leaned towards Elsa's side. Even Jean's partner, the side character B, was looking at her with contempt.

" It's just a sparing session. Does she know the meaning of moderation?"

​​

*whisper-whisper*

The situation was getting tenser, and Elsa hasn't shown any indication to give up.

" Just give up!! It's just a sparing. Why are you this stubborn!"

Jean knew she was already at a disadvantage position. No matter whether she wins or not, the crowd would look at her scornfully.

A bloodthirsty girl who likes to bully the weak. This name would surely circulate around the school after the battle was over.

It would be easier if she just gave up. But her pride wouldn't allow her to do that. She held back the tears that started accumulating in her eyes and chose to land a decisive strike.

A bloodthirsty tyrant or a coward. For her, the choice was obvious. Red aura gathered around the Vampire baroness's hand, and with the instruction of Jean, the Vampire baroness pounced at the dragon neck.

" Stop!!!"

Just when the Vampire baroness's attack was about to hit the dragon, countless shadow hands instantly appeared and block the Vampire baroness.

More than 30 hands were used to block the attack, while the other hands were used to bind the Vampire baroness body, making her unable to move.

*Boing-Boing*

It was Chongky who suddenly appeared on top of the dragon's body.

If we were just looking at their Bp, Chongky's Bp was clearly beneath the two monsters. But a spirit beast ability wasn't only displayed by their Bp.

Bp was only the sum of their physical stats and magical energy, and for a special spirit beast like Chongky, Bp was only just a number. His physical ability was way too weak that even a 5 years old child could defeat him if they were to battle physically.

But his special ability was way over the top. Just for his shadow hands, Chongky could easily summon more than 100 shadow hands, with each shadow hand had the capability of a middle-tier soldier-level spirit beast.

And don't forget the super cheat ability Reflect. Chongky was so broken that even the author decided to leave Chongky with Aiko so he didn't obliterate the Special Dungeon's trial.

*Crowd Chattering*

Chongky's appearance and the numerous shadow hands that could easily block Vampire baroness startled the crowd. They rub their eyes in disbelief, the weir natto beast that was having a hard time handling an iron pig was blocking the Vampire baroness attack?

They would rather believe that Elsa had a special trump card that enables her to block the attack. Even so, the fact was right in front of their eyes.

The dragon was struggling hard to stay awake. The vampire baroness was pinned down into the ground by numerous shadow hands while the silly natto jumped happily around the two monsters.

It would only take one command from Ray to end the battle, but when even Jean thought it was over..

" We give up."

Ray put his hand on the air and recalled Chongky back.

" Eh!!???????"

" EEEHHHHHHH???????"

Ray's statement shocked the whole crowd. Why would he give up when the victory was already on his hand.

" This, student Ray, are you sure you really want to give up?"

Even the teacher that was overseeing the battle was startled. He was ready to move when Jean launched her attack, but this boy in front of him popped up out of nowhere, blocking the attack. And now he wanted to give up? What in the freezing hell has happened here?

The crowd looked at Ray full of confusion, waiting for today's main character explanation.

*Sigh* Ray knew he wouldn't be able to get out without clearing this mess, so he started to explain his thought to everyone.

" *Cough-Cough* Everyone, It's not like I don't want to win. But the truth is, we should already lose long ago. Jean's attack should have defeated Elsa in their last confrontation. However, Due to Jean's kind heart and the fact that she didn't want to harm her fellow student had made us able to last this long and allowed me to carry out that surprise attack."

Ray's explanation was somehow able to appease the crowd's confusion. Still, he wasn't gonna stop now.

" Therefore, me giving up is not an act of mercy, but instead an act of admiring and appreciating the kindness of Jean. There was a saying in my hometown, Real recognizes real, and only a true knight would be able to appreciate each other."

After Ray finished saying his sentence, light appears from his body, making his appearance a great noble with a pure heart. He looked toward Jean and gave her a smile, indicating that everything was under control. Only to result in the madly blushing villainess.

[ You have positioned yourself greatly charm+100]

[ DING!!! You have completed the following mission.]

[ Battle between the villainess and the Female protagonist.]

[ Win the battle and impress the villainess.]

[ Rewards: Villainness affection +20, Elsa's affection +5, Exp+1000, Spirit beast random equipment box x1]

.

Ray looked at the finished mission and smiled, full of content. It seems his act has really paid off.

Kindness recognizes kindness or noble heart? Don't give him that bullshit. It was all a scheme that has been planned by him to finish this mission without any trouble.

At first, he thought of defeating the villainess and dealt the final blow, but after some pondering, he noticed that it was not the optimal way.

By doing that, he might get the approval of the villainess for defeating her, but it would only make him be seen as a part of the protagonist camp by the villainess.

As a side character, Ray's enemies weren't only the villainess but also the protagonist. He was like the Oriole waiting for Mantis and the Cicada to tire each other, only for him to reap all the benefits.

' Hehe, I am a side character to my bones.'

[ DING!!! Unlock a special title: Side character to the bones.]
