I'm on the Ark, and I start out as Gretchen.

[And it seems that adding microphones to the contestants this time was a very wise choice!]

"..."

Upon hearing this, Bianca did not speak, but simply nodded calmly, then respectfully tightened her grip on the spear.

Left Hand didn't say anything about Bianca's indifference. In his view, it was perfectly normal for the strong to have arrogance.

Without hesitation, he gripped his spear and charged at Bianca with incredible speed.

"Humph……"

Facing Titus White Poplar's fierce offensive, Bianca's expression remained unchanged. With a light snort, she stomped her feet, causing the ground to crack, and shot out like an arrow.

This kind of meaningless and utterly disgraceful competition was something Dai'e didn't want to stay in for even a second longer. Every extra second was torture for her; she just wanted it to end quickly.

"Ding--"

"Crack..."

The two clashed, and the moment they made contact, the apparent evenness of their strength was shattered.

[What?! What happened?! Unbelievable! In just one exchange, Titus White Poplar's spear was knocked away!!! Not only that, but the subsequent kick sent him flying!]

This is a huge gap in strength!!! It comes from the difference between the left hand and Bianca, this rising star!!!

"..."

Bianca used her usual method, controlling the force of her kick to send the person flying, then stopped. She stood silently in place, watching the person fly backward.

As for why she kicked instead of punching this time, all I can say is that it's definitely not because that's how someone treated Maria in the original storyline... she just kicked her casually.

However, even setting aside all the other reasons, Bianca's feelings towards Titus Poplar still weren't good...

After all, in Dai'e's view, those who cannot uphold their own principles and bully the weak are not worthy of being knights.

"what……"

After catching his breath, Titus Baiyang, enduring the excruciating pain, struggled to his feet again...

[Ah, the Left-Handed Knight has risen! It seems this battle is far from over!!! I wonder what kind of counterattack he will launch?!]

"..."

P.S.: I'll try to finish Chapter 3 before midnight, since I haven't had dinner yet. Please give me some votes to urge me on.

Chapter 28 concludes with Charnet's decision.

"..."

Watching Titus Poplar get up in the distance, a hint of surprise flashed in Bianca's azure eyes, but she still didn't say anything.

For her, it was just a matter of delivering another punch.

However, even with overwhelming strength, the goose will not underestimate anyone, including its enemies and rivals.

This is the principle she follows, and also her habit.

"Ah, that's ridiculously strong. I didn't even see your shot clearly just now..." Titus White Poplar stood up, but did not launch another attack. He just looked at Bianca with an uncertain look in his eyes.

"What an enviable power..."

"..."

After listening to the left-handed knight's lament, Bianca gave him a deep look, then gripped her lance and changed her stance, preparing to deliver the final blow to the man in front of her.

The terrifying explosive force allowed the goose to appear in front of Titus White Poplar almost instantly, its sharp, gleaming lance tip aimed straight for his head.

"I abstain."

"Kacha——!"

As the sound resounded through the arena via loudspeakers, Bianca's thrusting spear tip came to a steady stop just short of Titus White Poplar's forehead.

Although the weapon stopped, the shockwave it generated easily shattered the left-handed knight's mask.

[Another game! Another game that ended incredibly quickly!!! Unbelievably, Titus White, the veteran left-handed Cavaliers player, actually chose to forfeit!!! It's simply unbelievable!]

……

[The winner of this competition is Independent Knight Bianca! Rejoice!!!]

"Bianca!!!"

"..."

After hearing the verdict, Bianca, without changing her expression, sheathed her weapon and turned to leave without lingering.

She was not surprised at all by the choice made by the left-handed knight; rather, it was entirely within her expectations.

Even if Titus hadn't conceded defeat outright, she would have stopped firing and eliminated him in a more "gentle" way.

However, the final result proved that her earlier guess was probably correct. Barring any unforeseen circumstances, "left-handed" Titus Baiyang likely also bet against himself in this match, and the amount must have been substantial.

Q group: 8

As for why Bianca would make such a guess?

That's because Titus White Poplar is a qualified commercial racing knight. Although he is a few years younger than he is in the story, they are not far off.

So when facing Bianca, a powerful newcomer with a relatively low profile, it would be against his nature not to make a quick buck.

Before the match, I looked through your...

"A recording of the last battle. You're really strong. I hope you can continue like this." The Left-Handed Knight looked at the departing girl with a complex expression and spoke calmly.

At the same time, the last trace of resentment in his heart gradually dissipated with the gentle breeze that swept across the arena.

Just as Bianca had predicted, Titus had outmaneuvered her in this match. No, to be precise, he had prepared for two possibilities.

Before entering the arena, Zuo Shou had watched his opponent's video and concluded that he was extremely strong, perhaps even stronger than himself. However, his pride and unwillingness to accept defeat led him to comfort himself with a sliver of wishful thinking.

However, Titus Baiyang remained level-headed, so he initially prepared for both scenarios. Strictly speaking, regardless of who won or lost this match, he wouldn't lose out; in fact, he could be said to have made a fortune.

In fact, Bianca should have simply lay down on the ground and pretended to be unconscious when she displayed her immense strength and knocked Titus down.

But for some reason, he eventually stood up and even "teasing" Bianca a little.

"...Thank you for your kind words."

After listening to what the left hand said, Bianca calmly replied and then quickened her pace, heading towards the edge of the arena.

The response was merely out of politeness; the goose didn't want to waste time here. It would be better to hurry up and find Maria or go to training.

------------------

"Hurry up! Shan!"

After breaking through the encirclement, Bianca arrived at the agreed location and saw Maria. Without saying a word, she grabbed Maria and ran away.

"Eh?"

Maria was suddenly pulled along without even realizing it.

After getting some distance from the arena, Bianca and Maria slowed down. At the same time, Maria asked with a curious expression:

"Phew... Bianca, why are you running so fast?"

“Maria, do you remember why I recently went to the suburbs to train?” Bianca didn’t answer Maria’s question directly, but instead asked her in return.

“Of course, it’s because… oh, I see.” Hearing this, Maria clapped her hands, a knowing glint in her eyes. Then, as if remembering something else, she pressed on:

"Why are you in such a panic, Bianca? Are you hurt or being mistreated?"

"It's alright. Those people are just annoying, they can't hurt me." Bianca gently shook her head and answered Maria's concern in a gentle tone.

"It's good that you're alright. However, since you've chosen not to accept their cooperation and sponsorship, Bianca, you should still be more careful."

Upon hearing this, Maria first nodded slightly, then added a few more words of advice, still somewhat worried.

After listening to Maria's instructions, a warm glint appeared in Bianca's azure eyes. She then smiled and extended her hand to the pony in front of her, inviting it to join her.

"Alright, it's getting late. Would Miss Maria like to have lunch with me today?"

"Pfft, I'd be delighted, Miss Knight."

————————————————————

In an unnamed office—

"Even Titus Poplar couldn't dampen her spirits... It seems I'll have to go there myself this time." Charner watched the live stream, his eyes narrowing slightly, the light in them unreadable, making it impossible to know what he was thinking.

"If this doesn't work, we'll have to find a way to use some special measures."

"I hope I can resolve this matter more easily, Bianca..."

P.S.: I had some things to do today, so the update will be a bit late. I can't guarantee three chapters, but I definitely will. I'm already tired of writing this volume on Casimir, so I'll try to speed things up as quickly as possible. After all, I finally have some free time now.

Give it a push.

Chapter 29 Friendly Communication

After the first match of the knockout stage, Bianca has a temporary break and has returned to his daily training in the countryside where he is completely undisturbed.

After all, unlike others, Daigo doesn't really care who his next opponent is. Instead of worrying about those trivial things, he should focus on training and improving himself.

It's important to understand that Bianca isn't an ordinary person; she's a true genius with no limitations, where effort alone guarantees improvement. Now, Bianca herself is also immersed in this feeling and satisfaction of progress through hard work.

Rather, it's more accurate to say that no one would dislike this feeling.

"Phew—looks like we'll have to move to another place again."

After temporarily ending her training, Bianca put away her weapon and looked around at the wrecked area she had created, muttering to herself with a somewhat guilty expression.

"If only there were a training room for Destiny here, then the damage wouldn't have happened."

Compared to the "harsh" training conditions now, Bianca misses the Destiny training room from her memories of Bianca. It would be more convenient and wouldn't cause any damage.

But despite the thoughts, the goose wouldn't complain if there was no other way. After all, training can't be interrupted.

Finally, Bianca didn't hesitate any longer. After quickly packing her things, she moved on to another location.

The reason she frequently changed locations, besides the damage she caused to one place, was precisely because the commotion was too great, and she feared being discovered. She was well aware of how exaggerated her training appeared to others here…

When they get noticed, that's...

This is yet another problem for the silly goose.
