Crossover Anime: Starting from Jobless Reincarnation

Alice looked up, a look of joy on her face. The girl was the kind of person who was simple-minded, and her emotions were completely revealed. Alice grabbed Claire's hand and said to Claire, her voice choked with emotion, "Thank you, thank you. I always thought you were all a bunch of people with problems. I'm sorry."

Claire's lips twitched. She wanted to question Alice about who was mentally unstable, but seeing Alice's choked-up expression, she couldn't bring herself to ask the question.

Claire sighed deeply, suppressing the impulse in her heart, and forced a smile on her face: "It's okay. I used to think you were a stubborn, inflexible old-fashioned person too."

Roya:

The art style feels a bit strange.

After recruiting Alice into the team, Alice began to recount the whole story.

It was probably on the very first day that Versailles arrived at the academy that she prepared to reclaim the rights of the Wind King Knights.

Velseria has a lot of prestige, and she was the leader of the Wind King Knights in her early days. She is also very strong and was once hailed as the strongest person in the academy.

After all, Velseria was once an elf who had graced the stage of the Elf Sword Dance Festival.

Being able to perform on the stage of the largest ceremony, the Spirit Sword Dance Festival, which is open to the whole world, is enough to prove how outstanding Velseria's abilities are as a spirit user.

To put it bluntly, in the entire Austrian Empire, among elf wielders under the age of twenty, it's practically impossible to find a rival who can match Vilcelia.

If it weren't for encountering the overpowered Ren Ashbell, Velseria would have had no problem making it into the top four, even if she didn't win the championship.

Three years have passed, and Velseria's strength has only increased, not decreased.

The elf warriors of this academy take pride in participating in the Elf Sword Dance Festival, and it's hard for any elf warrior not to be tempted by the olive branch extended by Versailles.

Chapter 224 The Challenge from Versailles

After all, everyone wants to shine at the Elf Sword Dance Festival.

But this time, Alice suffered.

Although Alice's popularity wasn't particularly high, she shouldn't have ended up in such a sorry state, but the problem was that Alice had offended too many elf users on a regular basis.

These elves were usually alright, after all, their status and position were what they were. Although no one said anything, over time, the resentment they accumulated became quite a lot.

Although no one said anything openly, they were all pointing fingers at Alice behind her back.

After all, managing people is always a troublesome task, let alone dealing with these rich young ladies, which naturally makes things even more complicated.

Now, a big boss has come to Alice's head. This boss is recruiting talented people, and those who used to dislike Alice have all defected. These people don't need to do much; they just need to stir things up a little to mobilize the masses who are unaware of the facts.

In short, Alice is now in a very awkward situation.

“Then it’s decided. Our next member will be Alice.” Roya slammed his hand on the table, making the decision.

Claire asked curiously, "Why is your sister targeting you?"

Alice said helplessly, "It can't be said that it's targeting me. My sister has been like this ever since that incident. The team members she recruited this time have no intention of cooperating with them at all. If it weren't for the requirement of five people to participate in this Sword Dance Festival, I feel that she would have even fought alone."

Luo Ya said thoughtfully, "Isn't this just like me?"

As soon as Luo Ya spoke, the two people beside him grabbed his hands. Luo Ya looked over, puzzled, and saw that Claire and Linslet both had serious expressions on their faces.

“Roya, you can’t abandon us, okay?” Linslet said.

Claire's answer was simpler. The girl stammered, "Well, think about it. More people means more strength. I admit you're very strong, but if you're the only one relying on yourself, it'll definitely be difficult to win."

The two looked at Roya pitifully, while Roya sighed and rubbed his forehead, speechless.

What's going on with this scene? It looks just like when you're playing ranked matches and two noob teammates are yelling and screaming next to you.

Roya slapped Claire and Linslet's hands away, and said speechlessly, "Alright, alright, I won't abandon you, sigh."

Alice looked at the three of them, her worries faded, and she couldn't help but want to laugh.

To be honest, Roya's team wasn't bad (excluding Roya himself). Claire and Linslet both used top-tier Pokémon. Even though Ren Ashbell had lost most of his memories, his foundation was still there, and his skill level was definitely several levels higher than that of ordinary Pokémon users.

There are quite a few elf users who want to join Roya, but Roya has politely declined them all.

As I said before, there's no point in bringing in someone who's not strong enough.

Claire and Linslet's strength is top-tier in this academy, but even these two girls are basically considered by Roya as mere accessories. If someone even less capable than an accessory were to appear, it would give Roya a real headache.

However, if it's Alice, accepting it wouldn't be out of the question.

Alice may be inferior to her sister, but she is still quite strong, roughly equivalent to Claire in terms of combat power.

Roya coughed lightly and said to Alice, "In that case, you can join the regular training as well. I'll tell you the schedule. There will be about two to three training sessions per week, and each session will last a whole day. The training content will be quite extensive, including but not limited to honing your own sword dance skills and improving teamwork."

With another member joining the team, Roya began sparring alone with Alice, intending to figure out her strengths and weaknesses.

Alice is a skilled marksman; her marksmanship is roughly equivalent to that of a high-level swordsman.

The training went smoothly; it mostly consisted of Roya hanging up Alice and beating her up, then pointing out the flaws in the girl.

It was already late, and after pointing out Alice's flaws, a whole day had passed.

Just when Luo Ya thought the matter was over, the next day, a young girl arrived aggressively with three other girls.

The girl wore light armor that emphasized agility, and a cloak that swayed slightly with her steps. Almost the instant they met, she turned her gaze to Roya, who was at the head of the group.

Alice's face turned extremely ugly. She stepped forward, blocking Roya and the girl's view, and said coldly, "Sister, what brings you here?"

But this shout only earned him a cold gaze from Versailles.

Velseria glanced coldly at Alice and said in a chilling voice, "I'm not looking for you, Alice. Get out of the way, or you'll only make a fool of yourself."

Alice's face grew even more ashen, but she remained motionless, coldly asking, "Sister, what exactly are you planning to do?"

"What are you doing? This is none of your business."

Velseria pushed Alice away and looked at Roya in an almost unreasonable manner. Just when Roya thought that Velseria had come to cause him trouble, Velseria took her gaze away from his face, snorted coldly, and continued to walk forward, finally standing in front of someone.

That person was none other than Lian Ashdoy.

Seeing Len Ashdoy's somewhat blank expression, Velseria frowned slightly, then gripped the longsword at her waist and said to Len Ashdoy, "Len Ashdoy, do you remember me?"

Lian Ashdoy was puzzled. The girl scratched her head, looking bewildered.

However, it was this blank look that truly stung Velseria. Velseria roared, "Have you forgotten? I was the spirit wielder who stood with you at the Spirit Sword Dance Festival three years ago. Back then, you defeated me with ease. But this time it won't be like that. I am no longer the person I was three years ago. I have become stronger."

Velseria paused, her eyes fixed on Lian Ashdoy, and said, word by word, "I challenge you. Do you accept?"

Lian Ashdoy tilted her head, the girl's brows furrowed, and she did not answer, but fell silent.

Velseria was very patient; she awaited Len Ashdoy's reply.

Lian Ashdoy turned her gaze to Roya; this was no longer something she could handle.

Luo Ya, who was standing aside watching the drama unfold, couldn't help but say to Velseria, "Um, Lian Ashdor has amnesia. Because of a lot of things that happened, her mind isn't working very well right now."

Velseria paused for a moment, then circled around Lian Ashdoll, looking him over.

This gaze made Lian Ashdoy very uncomfortable. Lian Ashdoy rarely spoke, but she said, "Can you please stop looking at me like that? Your gaze makes me very uncomfortable."

Velcelia scoffed, her expression arrogant, but the girl still didn't give up, and said to Lian Ashdoy, "Let's have a match, hmm, let's do it in a team competition, and don't say I'm bullying you."

After speaking, Verseria turned her gaze to Roya. The girl frowned, but quickly relaxed and asked Roya, "Are you interested in joining my team?"

Luo Ya: ? ? ?

Having received a challenge and an invitation out of the blue, Roya was completely baffled by it all.

Although he felt very confused, Roya shook his head and declined the girl's invitation.

Luo Ya pointed to himself and said, "Well, even though I look like this, I'm still considered a core member of the team. If I leave, the team will definitely disband."

That's what Roya said, and that's certainly what he thought.

Claire snorted and muttered under her breath, "Narcissist."

The girl's voice wasn't loud, but the people present all had excellent hearing and heard it clearly.

Roya's lips twitched, his gaze turning unfriendly as he turned to Claire.

Claire looked away, feeling a little guilty, and didn't dare to meet Roya's gaze.

Velseria smiled, a mocking look on her cold face, and said to Roya, "It seems your teammates don't quite agree with what you say."

Luo Ya sighed and said, "She just wants to argue about everything."

Claire pouted angrily upon hearing this.

Claire's fiery red hair stood straight up to her waist, and her aggressive eyes were slightly narrowed. The girl's demeanor amused Roja.

Velseria shrugged, not arguing much about the relationship between Claire and Roya. She simply said, "Anyway, I welcome you to join my team anytime. After all, it would be very difficult to win against this group of second-rate elf users, wouldn't it?"

Velseria's words were like sparks igniting a powder keg. Claire was furious. The already hot-tempered girl rushed in front of Roya, reaching out to grab Velseria's sleeve.

Velcelia frowned slightly, subtly shifting a step to the side to dodge Claire's outstretched hand. A displeased expression crossed her face, and Velcelia coldly rebuked, "Little girl, what do you want to do?"

Claire missed her chance and felt extremely annoyed. Claire was never one to mince words, so she spoke without any restraint in this situation.

Claire scoffed, "What right does someone who was defeated by Lian Yijian have to spout nonsense here?"

Velseria's face darkened completely. That incident was a shadow in her heart, and even after three years, she still couldn't forget that scene.

With just a simple sword strike, Velseria's magical elf armor was completely destroyed. Her proud defense was so vulnerable in the eyes of the opponent's weapon. It not only pierced through Velseria's magical armor, but also the girl's pride and self-esteem, all of which vanished in an instant.

She vaguely remembers the expressions on the faces of the people on stage at that time.

Pity, disbelief, disgust, and loathing—all these expressions converged, making Vercelia feel like vomiting. She wanted to yell at the people on stage: "Who do you think you are, to have the right to pity me?"

But as her consciousness faded, she lost all feeling.
