Raising A Few Wives in a Beast Apocalypse-Chapter 171: Battle Roster!

She didn't even finish what she wanted to say. But it was obvious. She had just realised that she was stuck with Muku and his Telekinesis this time. She could already see herself getting rag-dolled all over that place until she quits.

It would hurt too, because for some reason. When it came to her, Muku seemed to forget that she was a girl in how he treated her. Or he was always fully aware and was just a petty dude settling scores. Yeah, that's probably it. He was just super petty with her.

Anyway, we have to organise the other matches too. So, ladies... Who's fighting who?" Muku ignored the bleak-faced Jade and addressed the other girls.

"I vote for Ms Audrey versus Chloe. I'm just a defenceless healer who only knows healing and a little poison magic. So, my fight with anyone wouldn't be fun anyway. Not to mention that their match would be quite physical and interesting to watch" Hope immediately jumped at the chance to snake her way out of fighting after realising that there weren't enough people.

It's not like she didn't have a point. Her poison was the type that would allow for an almost instant win under the right conditions. However, when fighting her teammates, who knew pretty much everything about her. She was definitely at a disadvantage.

She was one of the weakest fighters in the team physically. While Audrey and Chloe were high up there when it came to physicality and magic. So she'd probably be one-shotted before she realised what was happening. Which she didn't want to do.

"Hhm, that sounds fine with me. Just know that you're not off the hook yet. I'll think of something for you to do after the battles. So you better be ready" Muku didn't refuse Hope's preposition, but that didn't mean she'd get a free pass. He was sure to make her go through something as intense as the others.

"S-sure, I'll be waiting then... Big Brother wouldn't do anything to hurt me right?" Hope replied, feeling a bit nervous. She was wondering if she had made a mistake by backing out. Maybe she had dodged a bullet only to be hit by a rocket.

"Hehe... Anyway, are you two okay with the plan?" Muku only gave an ominous laugh as a reply to Hope's question. He ignored her from then while she shook him trying to get his attention. He had already moved on to addressing Audrey and Chloe.

"I'm okay with it..." Audrey replied as gently as always.

While the idea of fighting one of her cherished girls didn't seem appealing to her. She understood that it was for the greater good. With their strength, they couldn't easily find other people to match them. So, they could only get human combat experience from fighting each other.

"Do I have to? Can't I just fight Hope?" Chloe asked. The idea of fighting Audrey, who was the closest person she had to a mother, was just too awkward for her. It just felt wrong.

"What?! No!" We've already decided that I won't be fighting!" Hope, who was still shaking Muku, paused a bit before shouting in protest.

There was no way she'd fight Chloe after the last incident between them. While she still liked Chloe as much as she always has. Battle-mode Chloe scared her quite a bit. Whenever Chloe incases herself in lightning when she fights. It always gives Hope chills. It reminds her of the time the berserk Chloe always knocked her head off...

While she knew that such a thing wouldn't have happened without her input. She still refused to fight Chloe again. Chloe had traumatized her a bit it seemed.

"I really wish I could agree to your request. Sadly, you can see how traumatized this one is. She probably would just freeze up if she was standing opposite you in a battle. Also, I feel like you're overthinking the fight. Don't think of it as a fight, but a spar instead. In fact, that's exactly what it is. Don't you want to show Audrey your improvement?" Muku interjected before Hope ran away from fear.

Hope's trauma was something that definitely had to be dealt with. She would have to face it one day, but it wasn't that day. He'd think of something they could try after the battles. For then, Chloe has to face Audrey. Of course, if she really didn't want to, he wouldn't force her.

"Well... If you put it that way. Fine, I'll do it" Chloe instantly folded. Making everyone raise their eyebrows. It seemed the girl's soft spot was proving herself to her mother(figure). Which was obvious from how her eyes glowed right after Muku mentioned it.

"Let's do our best tomorrow okay?" Audrey chimed in while lovingly rubbing Chloe's head.

"If that's what you want, I'll give it my all" Chloe replied with her eyes closed. Showing a gleeful expression on her face, clearly enjoying Audrey's touch. She was like a cute little kitten that likes being rubbed.

"Me too! I'll do my best!" Layla chimed in. Before anyone could react, she was already placing Audrey's hand on her head.

"Fufu, okay" Audrey replied while rubbing both girls' heads. She was radiating so much motherly love at that moment that it was almost blinding. The others could tell that she was enjoying the situation as much as the two girls.

It was a bit odd with how young-looking and gorgeous she was, but she made it work. It ended up looking like a very caring older sister though.

"Okay, with that done with. It's time to address our opening act. Elsa and Freya, our two fairy maidens. That honour belongs to the two of you if you're willing to accept it" Muku then addressed the two Half-step R2s of his team.

He looked at them with kin interest. While their fight wouldn't be too explosive because of their limited strength. It would still be quite entertaining to see two people with the assistance of fairies fight.

Their fight would definitely become a sight to see one day when they get stronger. However, who wanted to wait so long? The prelude to what was to come will have to do for the moment.

"I'm willing!" Elsa instantly agreed. The little girl had shown signs of being a battle junky, so it was obvious that she'd be game.

The real problem was with Freya. The peaceful lady. Honestly, everyone wouldn't be surprised if she refused to fight. The girl just didn't seem like someone who would want to fight unless it was a last resort.

"I'm willing as well!" Freya exclaimed with a fire burning in her eyes. It startled everyone. While they felt she would agree, they didn't think it would be so easy.

It seemed they had misjudged Freya's determination to improve. She was willing to go the distance even when she didn't want to.

"Well... Okay. You're all dismissed for now. If there's anything else. We can arrange it tomorrow. For now, go get some sleep, we've all had a long day. You can even allow yourselves to sleep deeply since Audrey graciously made five Half-step corrupt beasts for us. Goodnight to you all..." Muku then ended the discussion.

He didn't know about the others, but he was definitely tired. So he didn't prolong the meeting.

Without waiting for the girls to respond. He flew upstairs. He clearly couldn't wait to be in the embrace of his bed and sheets.

The girls just gave each other understanding looks before wishing each other good night. Then everyone went to their own rooms.
