I am no longer human!

Chapter 24 Magical Puppet Sweetheart

"I hope the fourth duel will be a puppet duel," Raphael said.

"Puppet duels, that's quite interesting, and it can also test a demon's magical power, combat awareness, reaction speed, and many other indicators..." Sean thought to himself.

"Alright, I hereby announce that, one hour after the weeping hour, the fourth match of the Seven Deadly Sins Trials, the Puppet Duel, will be held in the Academy Duel Arena."

"Students may enter the venue ahead of time," the magician announced directly.

...

"Damn it, have you forgotten that I have no idea what a magic puppet is?!"

After the crowd dispersed, Damian rushed over and grabbed the magician by the collar, shaking him violently.

It's one thing that they didn't ask for his opinion during the math competition, since he's barely passable at math and knows a little calculus, but he's never even heard of a magic puppet!

Snapped.

The magician snapped his fingers, and Damian felt an invisible force gently push him away.

"Don't worry, controlling this thing should be very easy for you. Besides, you have so much magic power in your body, it's okay even if you keep releasing waves of pew pew pew."

Sean elegantly adjusted his tie, gestured with his fingers, and said calmly.

He already knew from Senior Eve that Damian was very talented in manipulating magic and was a natural-born magician, so a mere magic puppet was naturally no problem for him.

"Even so... you should at least give me a magic puppet!" Damian's lips twitched slightly.

Sean was taken aback, only then realizing that the other party didn't actually have a magic puppet.

broken!

High-level puppets are all custom-made, and as the son of Gremory, Raphael knew that the puppet in his hands must be of the highest level.

Even if we were to find a magic puppet for Damian right now, it would be very difficult to find one of the same level.

Thinking of this, Sean couldn't help but awkwardly scratch the back of his head and chuckle sheepishly.

Damian: "..."

The rage meter is full!

"Um... Brother Damian, if you need a magic puppet, I can lend you mine."

Just then, a timid voice came from behind.

Damian turned around and saw the purple-haired female devil who had been sitting and talking with him earlier and had offered to be his friend cautiously approaching.

"I imagine you didn't even know about the Sin Wall before, so you probably don't know much about puppets either..."

When Damian looked at her, Veronica explained.

Just as she had predicted, Damian didn't even have a single puppet. Sean, who announced the competition without even asking, was truly unreliable...

"Excuse me, can I take a look at your puppet?" Sean asked quickly upon seeing this.

If Damian loses a duel because of him, it's one thing to offend Damian, but the other is that the headmaster behind Damian might come looking for him and tear him apart.

"Can."

The girl tapped a bracelet on her wrist, and the next moment, a humanoid puppet about one meter tall appeared in the open space.

Its head is a pink bunny, and its entire body is covered with a soft peach-pink metallic shell, with silver-white high-density alloy showing at the joints.

Her figure is petite and exquisite, with smooth shoulder lines, a slender waist, and slightly flared hips... Every curve has been carefully polished, like a work of art that has been given life.

On its shoulders, there are also a pair of pink shoulder cannons symmetrically placed, each depicting a cute sweetheart pattern.

"This is my puppet—Sweetheart," Veronica introduced, a little embarrassed.

Sean's eyes lit up when he saw the puppet.

"Young lady, your puppet is of a very high level, almost comparable to a military-grade puppet."

"It's alright, I only spent a tiny bit of money," Veronica said apologetically.

"Probably only a few hundred thousand magic coins..." she thought to herself.

"This is almost equivalent to my monthly salary... Wait, I remember now, you are the eldest daughter of the Owen family, Veronica Owen."

After recognizing Veronica's identity, Sean suddenly realized that the family was so poor that all they had left was money.

"Without further ado, you shall teach Damian how to control the puppet."

"No problem, leave it to me." Veronica waved her little fist, looking full of fighting spirit.

...

an open space.

"Brother Damian, this is the control core of the Sweetheart, also called the core. Please inject magic into it, the more the better."

Veronica handed Damian a heart-shaped pink gem.

The black-haired boy took the core and held it tightly in his hand. While recalling Teacher Iro's teachings, he concentrated on guiding the magic power in his body into the core.

Having learned from his previous experience, Damian easily channeled the magic.

Splash splash splash.

Unlike last time, this time what emerged was no longer faint specks of light like fireflies, but surging tides of light.

They rushed into the core all at once, causing it to radiate a dazzling pink light.

"Such powerful magic, no wonder he's Brother Damian."

Veronica secretly admired this scene.

She had consumed various magical ingredients and potions since childhood to enhance her magical power, and believed that her magical power had already surpassed that of demons her age. However, she still felt inferior to Damian.

It's easy to imagine that Damian must have consumed countless rare ingredients and magical potions since childhood.

"Brother Damian, try to feel if you can connect with the Sweetheart," Veronica reminded him.

Upon hearing this, the black-haired boy carefully sensed it and indeed felt an inexplicable connection with the Gundam... oh no, I mean the puppet in front of him.

Guided by instinct, he tried to raise his arm and found that the Sweetheart in front of him also raised its arm.

This...this...this is so much fun!

Damian's tense expression quickly turned into excitement. He tried walking, lifting his legs, and throwing punches... and Sweetheart replicated these movements flawlessly.

clap clap clap!

Seeing this, Veronica clapped in admiration.

It took her a whole month to learn how to control the puppets and make them move smoothly, but Lord Damian could do it right away. This shows how powerful Lord Damian's talent is in controlling magic.

"Brother Damian, you can try releasing the Sweetheart's number one skill - Sweetheart Cannon. You just need to speed up the input of magic into the core and concentrate your mind on the Sweetheart's shoulder cannon."

"Oh, by the way, you can shout out the skill name the first time you use it, that will make it easier to cast successfully," Veronica said.

"Sweetheart Cannon!"

Damian, eager to master the skills as soon as possible, disregarded his shame and shouted it out loud.

The next moment, the two shoulder cannons on the Sweetheart's shoulder, each painted with a sweetheart pattern, were slightly raised, their muzzles aimed at a half-person-high gray-brown rock in front of it.

boom!boom!

With two loud bangs, two pink light bullets shot out and hit the rock precisely.

boom!

The moment it hit, the rock was blasted into countless fragments.

Damian stared wide-eyed at the sight.

No, this thing that looks like a giant figurine is actually quite dangerous!
