Chapter 151
The Shinsung Family shouted in excitement at EunAh's victory.
"She won! Our EunAh won!"
Her oppa, Kim JunHyuk was really happy for her, and YunHa, her mother, laughed while tucking her hair behind her ear.
"If she's strong enough to defeat a representative, just how strong is our EunAh?"
YunHa wasn't thinking about her position as a member of the Shinsung Group but just laughing as a mother.
Thankfully, the Shinsung Group didn't hear Angela's provocation.
Since she'd murmured in a low voice, it hadn't been broadcasted, but that wasn't the case for EunAhwhat she'd said to provoke Angela had been publicly broadcasted.
"Ehem..." Kim SeokHan frowned as if he didn't like what he heard, but it was only for a short while.
"Hunter..." he mumbled while making a melancholic expression.
The EunAh that SeokHan knew was too innocent but intelligent. If EunAh followed YuSung, that meant he wasn't a bad person. Still, she couldn't help but dislike him.
'You thieving cat! With such a calm-looking face...'
SeokHan sighed. Although he felt that his granddaughter was taken from him, YuSung was EunAh's party leader.
'But still... even if it's for EunAh, I'll have to take care of him.'
SeokHan wasn't planning to give him any kind of grandiose support. Rather, he was only going to give him a tiny bit of material support.
Of course, for SeokHan, that 'tiny' bit was above and beyond a normal person's standard.

BZZ! BZZT!
Strength poured out of her body.
EunAh felt newly born after electricity fortified her body, but unlike Angela, EunAh didnt let her guard down.
"Then, goodbye."
She punched again to finish her off as quickly as possible.
Paf!
She was able to easily destroy the barriers last percentage of durability. Once again, EunAh's blue light pierced Angela.
[0% barrier remaining!]
[Residual Damage 100%]
[Cumulative damage has reached 100%, so you're going to be kicked out of the portal!]
The moment Angela's elimination was determined
Pang! Brrrr-!!!
The wall exploded. Tens of thousands of papers flew in as if they were birds.
"What? Papers?" EunAh shouted in surprise, but the papers flew toward Angela. Although the papers stuck themselves to her body, Angela didn't react.
Instead, she made a relaxed smile and said something EunAh couldnt quite understand. "To think she'd use the 'trump card' because of me... Lorelei's probably really disappointed in me."
After that, Angelas entire body was covered in paper.
[20% barrier remaining!]
[Student 'Angela' still has barrier remaining, so her elimination has been canceled.]
...
[50% barrier remaining!]
[70% barrier remaining!]

Only Angela could see the hologram. EunAh intuitively felt that something was wrong, but it was already too late.
BOOM!
A golden wave hit the 2nd floor of the Clock Tower.
BOOM!
The wave collapsed the entire wall, and the 2nd floor of the Clock Tower was swept away.
BOOM! Pang!
The Clock Tower's Oracle shone under the blue moonlight while riding a beautiful golden wave.
"As expected of Korea... You're impressive."
It was Lorelei Cornet, the Witch's disciple and the one who held the UKs hopes on her shoulders.
Ssss-
Lorelei moved her hands, and all of the papers stuck to Angela disappeared.
"On the other hand... Angela, I'm really disappointed in you," Lorelei said in a low voice.
Angela lowered her head, sweating, and did her best to remain expressionless. "I'm sorry, Lorelei."
Lorelei's eyes narrowed. Her emotions usually didnt show, so that meant she was feeling quite irritated.
"To think that you'd lose despite having a counter to electricity. You have no excuse."
Lorelei's words were sharp. They thought that they were fully prepared for EunAh, so Angelas loss was the English teams loss.
'I gave up on the golem, so that's -5 points, and since we dont have the golem, we must give up on the next mission and lose another 5 points.'
The entire start of the match was messed up for them due to a single defeat. Not only that, but the biggest problem was Lorelei's skill that Angela had called a 'trump card'.
[Time's Bookmarks]
It was one of the strengths of Lorelei's Trait, [Goddess of Time]. Lorelei was given the opportunity to turn back someone's time once a week and recover their body. It was a skill Lorelei had saved up just in case.
In the end, she had to use the skill only a few moments after the round began to save Angela.
Lorelei's plans and expectations had been destroyed.
Paf! BZZT-!
Even though the fight had turned into a two-on-one battle, electricity was coming out of EunAh's body, and she had the upper hand.
"Do you think I'd lose even if it's both of you against me?"
"If it's your current self, well probably have a hard time. Not only that... but we don't know when your teammates will appear."
At Lorelei's words, EunAh readied herself to fight. She was thinking about who she should attack first. Lorelei's attitude showed that she'd been overwhelmed by her.
While EunAh was making a satisfied smile, Lorelei said something strange.
"But... what about the you of 10 years ago?"
As Lorelei said that, she extended her hands.
FWOOSH-!
As intense golden light poured out, the world's time stopped.
"Huh?" EunAh let out a surprised cry.
There was no way Lorelei could move faster than EunAh using the Thunder Dragon's Descent, but the palms of Lorelei's hands were on EunAh's stomach.
When, how? EunAh's head became full of questions.
"She stopped... time?" EunAh asked.
Not even Lorelei could stop time itself. Stopping time wasn't possible with a Trait. It would require such an immense scale that it would be in the territory of magic, but one could mess with the 'opponent's time'. To be more precise, how they sensed time.
'Time is relative...'
For example, it wasn't hard for Lorelei to make EunAh feel that time had stopped.
'You probably won't even know what happened.'
Lorelei had used her Trait [Goddess of Time] to inject unknown mana into EunAh.
"Return."
SWOOSH!!
An intense golden light spread from her hands.
"Ugh!"
EunAh slowly opened her eyes.
Swoosh-
As the light disappeared and her surroundings became visible again, EunAh realized something was wrongher hands were smaller.
"Eh eh?!"
Lorelei and her surroundings also seemed bigger.
"WHAT DID YOU DOO-?!" EunAh shouted as loudly as possible.
It was Lorelei's skill, 'Time Reversal'.
EunAh had regressed in time and became her seven-year-old self. She'd become so young that her clothes were too big. Not only that, but she was smaller than Lorelei.
"Hey! Ugh! Ou want to ie?! What id you o to me!"
As the young EunAh rushed toward them and complained, Angela grabbed EunAh with one hand.
"Hey! Ou want to ie?! Et me go!"
EunAh moved aggressively in a pendulum motion, but there was no way she could free herself from Angela with the body of a seven-year-old.
Whish-
Angela grabbed EunAh and swung her
"Dizzy..."
EunAh ended up collapsing in place. She'd become so young that her clothes looked like blankets.
Tap-
Angela grabbed EunAh's Pocket.
[Are you going to give up?]
[Yes / No]
"No~ Give it back!"
EunAh struggled, buried in her own uniform, but Angela didn't give it back to her.
"Then I'll make you give up."
Beep!
"Noo~ I'm disappearing!"
Angela pressed the button, and EunAh turned into light and disappeared.
[Current Score]
Gaon Academy: 5P
Clock Tower Academy: -15P
[You've disqualified a member of the opposing team. You've earned 10 points.]
[Current Score]
Gaon Academy: 5P
Clock Tower Academy: -5P
Although Clock Tower Academy had gained 10 points from EunAhs disqualification, they still had fewer points because they hadnt been able to activate the golem.
If Gaon Academy managed to fulfill a mission, Clock Tower Academy would struggle to catch up, even if they eliminated another person. It was all because EunAh had been stronger than Lorelei thought.
'I didnt expect Angela to lose... Since its like this, I have no choice but to engage in a head-on battle.'
Lorelei concluded that she had to face YuSung if she wanted to turn the situation around.
