Starting with One Piece, a Multiverse Simulation

When he arrived at the Lanoa Magic Academy, he was told that Rudy had already left the academy and had not returned for half a month, so he naturally left willingly.

You have to understand that he traveled all the way from the Demon Continent, wasting a lot of time along the way and encountering quite a few troubles.

As the Demon Emperor of the Demon Continent, the human kingdoms of the Central Continent feared him like the plague. Many of the kingdoms he passed through amassed large armies in preparation for his invasion.

When he first arrived at the Lanoa Magic Academy, Badigandi maintained his gentlemanly demeanor. Although he did not meet Rudeus, he did not make things difficult for or affect the other people at the magic academy.

But a week passed and Rudius still hadn't returned to the Lanoa Magic Academy. Badigandi's temper and patience had finally been worn down.

Although he still didn't attack the ordinary students, Badigandi started blocking the door and began loudly cursing Rudius as a coward who, knowing Rudius had come to confront him, didn't dare to go out and fight, but instead cowered in a certain place, too afraid to come back.

Badigandi was not a reckless person; on the contrary, he was a demon emperor who could bestow wisdom upon others. He did this simply to force Rudi to show himself.

What he didn't expect was that while Rudy wasn't verbally abused, others in the academy couldn't tolerate the insults directed at Buddy Gundy.

The person who couldn't tolerate Badigandi's insults towards Rudy was the princess's bodyguard known as "Silent Fitz".

As you can tell from this nickname, Fitz is a man of few words, while Rudy is indeed someone who can speak up for him in the academy.

However, only Fitz herself knew that the reason she stood up was not only because of her identity as "Fitz", but also because of her other identity, Hilfiet.

Hilfiet, Rudy's childhood friend, is someone from the village where Grellatt lives in seclusion. Because Wood had already left home when she met Rudy, she was Rudy's childhood friend, not Wood's.

Hilfi possesses one-quarter elven, one-eighth orcish, and five-eighths human blood. However, due to her green hair, which resembles that of the Spelud, she was frequently bullied as a child until she was rescued by Rudy, and developed feelings for him from a young age.

At the age of 10, he was transported to the Kingdom of Asura due to a magic transfer incident, where he rescued Princess Ariel from a monster attack and became her best friend.

From the age of 11 to 13, she fled to the magical kingdom with Ariel. Because she could not chant magic and was shy, she was called "Silent Fizz".

Upon arriving at the Lanoa Magic Academy, Silphi was overjoyed to see her childhood friend and love interest, Rudy.

But because they hadn't seen each other for many years, and because his figure remained as "firm" as it had been since childhood, Rudy seemed to have always mistaken her for a man.

She recognized Rudy at a glance, but Rudy didn't recognize her at all and even mistook her for a man, which made Sylphy a little angry, so she stubbornly refused to reveal her true identity to Rudy.

Undoubtedly, although Sylphy was somewhat disappointed and angry that Rudy didn't recognize her upon their reunion, her admiration and affection for Rudy remained unchanged even after many years, and in fact, it had become even stronger due to the long separation.

Now that Badigandi is making such outrageous remarks, even slandering and defaming Rudy, Shilufi's idol, she naturally cannot ignore it.

It was for this reason that, faced with the arrogant Badigandi, "Silent Fitz" stepped forward to challenge him.

When Wood and his two companions arrived at the academy gate with Zanoba, it was already packed with people.

After all, the two are the Demon Emperor and "Silent Fitz". Although most people think that Fitz is no match for Badigandi, it must be admitted that Fitz is also one of the top students in the academy and has made a name for himself in the past. So this duel should be quite interesting.

"Fitz, are you really going to fight him? He's the Demon Emperor, a super strong being who can fight the entire kingdom single-handedly. Is Rudeus really that important to you?"

Sylphie is not only Princess Ariel's best friend, but also her savior, so Ariel naturally doesn't want Sylphie to get hurt at this moment.

If it were an ordinary opponent, she would have absolute confidence in Hilfi, because at this age, Hilfi was already able to use "Saint-level" magic, and without chanting at that. Even compared to the court magicians of the Kingdom of Asura, Hilfi's strength was in no way inferior.

But if the opponent is Badigandi, the infamous Demon Emperor, then the situation will be different.

The opponent is a force comparable to an entire nation; it would be far too difficult for an individual to contend with them.

“Rudius is very important to me. He is not only my friend, but also the most important person in my life, so I will not allow anyone to speak ill of him.”

Looking at Ariel in front of her, Sylvie revealed a determined expression, gripped her wand tightly, and walked up to the Demon King Badgeondi.

Budigandi is a burly, shirtless man with skin as black as obsidian, clearly a demon, six arms, and waist-length purple hair.

Just standing there was enough to give people a strong sense of pressure. Sylphie, who was holding a magic wand in front of him, could also feel that the other party's level was far superior to any opponent she had encountered before. Therefore, when she appeared, Sylphie did not hold back at all, but directly used her full strength!

Hilfi has mastered magic of four elements: water, earth, wind, and fire. In terms of talent, she can already be considered a genius.

Of these, Hilfi only reached the "intermediate" level in fire magic, while she reached the "advanced" level in earth and wind magic. Only in water magic did she master the "saint" level.

"Water Saint-level Magic - Whirlpool Water Gun!"

Since the opponent is the Demon Emperor, it would be foolish to hold back, so Hilfi used her strongest water magic as soon as she made her move.

A torrent of water gushed forth from the magic circle and rapidly coalesced into a spiraling water spear!

Judging from the strength of this water magic, it was even powerful enough to penetrate some extremely dangerous magical beasts. When the water spear burst out, the surrounding academy students exclaimed in amazement.

Those who can master and skillfully use "saint-level" magic are already considered among the strongest in the human race.

Without a doubt, the water-based holy-level magic that Hilfi is currently using is so powerful that there are no more than five people in the entire Lanoa Academy who can achieve the same level.

The incredibly powerful spiral water gun, which drew gasps from the onlookers, was launched at Badigangdi, yet the opponent remained as steady as a mountain.

Its two arms were either behind its back or crossed in front of its chest, with one arm touching its chin. Only one hand was raised in a fist to meet the incoming spiral water gun.

The rushing water, capable of instantly shattering rocks, seemed to encounter immense resistance when it struck Badigandi's fist, unable to penetrate at all.

Then, the moment Badigandi exerted force with his arm, Sylphie's Water Saint-level Whirlpool Water Gun magic was shattered by Badigandi's punch, right before her astonished eyes!

The shattered vortex water gun turned into a shower of rain, and Badigandi, in a strong voice, gave a very fair evaluation: "Very good magic, and the technique of no chanting is quite impressive."

It's a bit underwhelming in terms of power, but for normal human standards, it's already quite an outstanding creature.

Unfortunately, at this level, you are far from being my match, and you can't even pique my interest. So hurry up and let Rudeus come out and fight me.

Being cowardly is one thing, but hiding behind a woman is truly cowardly behavior.

Upon hearing Badigandi's words, Rudy didn't even notice that the "Fitz" he knew was actually a woman, and prepared to go on stage without a second thought.

Wood, watching Rudy prepare to go on stage, didn't try to stop him. After all, it was Rudy's own decision, and he had no reason to interfere.

Chapter 526 Reencounter with Alice

"Judging from what you're saying, it seems you look down on us women."

Since Rudius isn't at the academy, how about I take his place and fight you?

The person who spoke before Rudy and suddenly appeared was someone Wood and Rudy clearly knew, and both of them showed obvious surprise when they saw each other.

The person who suddenly spoke to Buddy was, strictly speaking, Wood and Rudy's childhood friend, and even, in terms of family ties, their distant cousin.

That's right, the people who suddenly appeared here were Alice and Kyrie, who had defeated the old Sword God and left from the Land of the Sword Saint.

Alice originally came to Lanoa Academy to recruit Rudy, but she didn't expect to encounter this scene as soon as she arrived.

Rudy was, after all, her good friend and distant cousin, so Alice naturally wouldn't pretend not to see Buddy's arrogance.

Moreover, what Badigandi just said did indeed make Alice uncomfortable.

Does a man who hides behind a woman have to be a coward? This statement makes it sound like women can't be stronger than men.

"And who are you? Are you Rudeus's woman? But you don't seem to be a student at this magic academy, do you?"

Seeing Alice suddenly appear, Badigandi also showed a look of curiosity. He could sense that the red-haired girl in front of him was much stronger than the green-haired girl from before.

Even he sensed a dangerous aura emanating from her, meaning the girl's strength was enough to threaten his life.

"Looks like I'll have to figure out how to tear your mouth apart before I can defeat you."

The person I love most has always been only one person, and he will not tolerate anyone slandering or insulting him!

Alice was already easily angered, and now that her bottom line had been mocked by Badigandi, she instantly flew into a rage and drew her sword to strike!

The fierce, outward-firing slash shot towards Badigandi in a crescent shape. Just by looking at the ground that was easily sliced ​​open, Badigandi realized that his opponent was not simple, so he no longer took it lightly.

The hands that were originally behind her back suddenly stretched out and were covered with a thick layer of magic power to strengthen them.

When Alice's crescent-shaped slash flew towards him, Badigandi, in the posture of a child worshipping Guanyin, directly caught the slash with both hands.

It was clearly a clash between a slash and flesh, yet strangely, a large number of sparks flew out between them.

Although Badigandi successfully blocked the attack head-on, his body was forced back several meters, and his feet dug two obvious furrows in the ground.

And that's not all. Alice isn't like Silphie. As a martial artist, she possesses strong physical abilities. Combined with her agile and nimble movements, she moved swiftly the moment she unleashed her strike, and at that moment, she had already appeared behind Badigandi.

"With such remarkable strength and swordsmanship, why resort to such petty tricks as sneak attacks!"

Sensing danger from the back of his neck, Badigandi threw a flurry of punches with his other arm without thinking, shouting angrily at Alice as he did so.

"A sneak attack? That's a joke. This is a battle, a fight where the goal is to kill the other. Who cares about fair competition?"

You are the Demon Emperor who has lived for countless years, and you have six arms. Do you think it's fair for you to fight me, who only has two arms?

Just as the person I admire said, in battle, only the result matters; no means can be called despicable, because life is only given once, and there is no room for squandering it!

Upon hearing Alice's words, Badigandi was clearly taken aback, because he found that he couldn't find any way to refute what Alice had said.

And for someone who came from the Demon Continent, he had to admit that Alice was right. On their Demon Continent, talking about fair competition with enemies was simply the most foolish thing to do.

In such a harsh environment, just surviving is already incredibly difficult; the law of the jungle prevails, and only a fool would fight you fairly.

"Ding, ding, ding, ding!"

Faced with Alice's rapid sword skills, Badigandi used his remaining four arms, and his hard fists collided with Alice's sword repeatedly under a series of high-speed punches.

Each time their fists and swords clashed, a powerful shockwave would instantly sweep across the surroundings. This was followed by wave after wave of circular shockwaves, which not only easily created numerous spiderweb-like cracks in the ground beneath their feet, but also sent many onlookers flying.

After the two were pushed back several meters by the force of the attack, a large crater with a diameter of nearly ten meters appeared where Badigandi and Alice had been standing.

Furthermore, all the academy students who had been watching them were now blown far away by the aftershocks of the battle...

No, it shouldn't be said that everyone, but almost everyone, was just blown away by the aftershocks of Alice and Badigandi's battle.

The reason it wasn't "all" is because among those present, there were three figures who, despite being affected by the aftermath of Alice and Badigandi's battle, remained standing motionless like stone monuments.

These three people had gone unnoticed in the crowd, but now that everyone else had been blown away, leaving only the three of them standing in place, they became extremely conspicuous.

Leaving aside Wood and Rudy for the moment, judging from Alsteid's appearance, no matter how you look at him, he doesn't seem like a student at La Noah Magic Academy.
