What do you mean my cute disciples are Yanderes?

(MC POV)

The Han Practitioner was teleported out of the stage as my inscription recognised him as being unable to fight. The formation even healed him up properly before depositing outside too.

Luna looked at the people from the country of Han who were glaring at her, "What? Are you not entertained? Was I not flashy enough or something?"

Some old dude from that side leapt onto the stage and pointed a finger at her, "How dare you?! This is a Showcase Festival for the young talents of each Sect! It's not a place for people like you to bully them or to cheat!"

Luna tilted her head at him, "But I am a new student Practitioner of Heaven Sect though? Just because I'm more talented than that guy doesn't mean I'm cheating?"

To be honest, you kind of are cheating by being someone who came from the Spiritual Plane, Luna… But I guess I should just keep my mouth shut about it.

At least it was true that she's a new student Practitioner of Heaven Sect though.

The old dude turned to Sect Master Qing and he nodded at his silent query, "She really is a new student Practitioner of our Sect."

The old dude seemed quite displeased by the answer before stepping down from the stage, gesturing for another person to go up on stage.

A young man got up from his seat and proceeded up the stage with an empty expression on his face like a zombie.

Luna smiled at him, "Hello, are you going to introduce yourself unlike that last one or you're not even going to bother?"

Hey, hey… What happened to this thing being a friendly showcase? Why are we all hostile to each other now?

The zombie guy didn't even acknowledge her question and merely pulled back his fist before punching forward.

Nothing happened for a split second before Luna was suddenly blasted out of the stage as though she was hit.

She would have fallen onto the ground had Rina not been there to catch her, the maid reacting faster than anyone else when her Mistress was in danger.

Luna frowned up at the guy, "What was that?! That wasn't a Technique!"

The zombie guy didn't answer but instead, it was the old dude who was smirking at her.

"It was indeed not a Technique but a simple punch instead, that's why your little shield can't protect you from that."

Feeling that things were looking a little sus, I used my Omniscience to check what was going on.

…

Oh, I see… No wonder they were known as that kind of country.

This zombie guy was experimented on until he was turned into the perfect soldier Practitioner, eliminating his emotions and increasing his physical capabilities to the limits. They were making use of this event to test out his combat potential too.

A really stupid thing they failed to foresee was the fact that this kind of soldier would not seek self improvement so his cultivation would be stuck at whatever it was before he was experimented on.

Also, I'm not even sure who they would want to go to war against while using this type of soldier?

He might have managed to catch Luna off guard but he would also not be able to land a decisive blow on her either.

Sure, they might be physically stronger than a normal Practitioner, but if it's a fight to the death, a normal Practitioner should be able to beat them.

So why are they even doing this?

…

Ah… For science… They're doing it not for some nefarious goal like taking over the World or whatever, they're just doing it because they can…

And if they manage to best the student Practitioners here… Then it just validates their experiments.

Hopefully this isn't the prelude to some kind of zombie apocalypse…

"How interesting~ I should also try some experiments with that!" Elaria muttered to herself while scribbling in her notebook.

No, no… Bad Elaria, don't get any ideas from this… I swear if you create something ridiculous again…

Then again, she's already done a lot of ridiculous things… What's the worst that could happen, right? Imean, she's already made starships capable of faster than light travel for crying out loud…

Now I'm wondering what the people from Mei were here for? Surely they have their own agendas as well?

…

They're just here to prove they have the stronger Practitioners huh… Got it.

I don't think I need to check what the people of Sun are here for at least, especially when they aren't really paying attention to the stage but instead, were mostly focused on me.

Luna pointed a finger accusingly at him, "If he isn't here to showcase his talents as a Practitioner, then why come up at all?!"

The old dude from the Country of Han laughed, "Ha! This just shows that he's strong enough to not need any Techniques in beating you! Isn't that a talent by itself?! No matter who it is, he will surely blow them away! Who else wants to test themselves against our talent?!"

Iris covered her mouth with her sleeve,"Ara, ara? What kind of talent are you talking about? Everything special about him is made in a lab, just like your country actually~"

I turned to look at Iris in surprise.

Why would you say something so controversial yet so brave?

The old dude was obviously not amused by her statement and glared at her, "Who are you?! How dare you?! Do you dare to come up here and prove yourself against our most talented Practitioners?!"

Dude, seriously… Quit while you're ahead, she's not someone you can even think about challenging. She could wipe out your entire country from existence if she wanted to.

It wouldn't even be a simple deletion of existence either, she could make it such that you guys never even existed in the first place and change history entirely…

Thankfully, it didn't need to come to that as someone else leapt on the stage.

Flicking her hair back dramatically on the stage was Xun Guan, my slime girl who was masquerading as a student Practitioner of our Sect.

"There's no need for that. I will accept your challenge."

The old man narrowed his eyes at her, "Who are you?"

"I am Xun Guan of Heaven Sect, please allow me to receive some pointe--"

"Hold it! Hold it! We don't have a student Practitioner by that name! Who are you?! How did you sneak your way in here?! Elders!" Sect Master Qing interrupted.

Everyone else was instantly on alert and a few Elders from our Sect even leapt out of their seats to surround her on stage.

Ok, I'm gonna be honest, I didn't expect him to remember all the Practitioners in our Sect to know that Xun Guan wasn't one of them… What kind of crazy memory do you have, Sect Master Qing?!

Err… Whoops, I guess I better help her out here… Let me just turn back time and change a few Origins here and there and... There we go.

Let's redo that again and pretend that never happened shall we?

That was a little embarrassing…
