When their sights crossed, Caesar deliberately shifted his gaze and looked down at the nearby Green Wolf that he hunted. He seemed to be showing off his own victory. He then looked up at Lin Xiao again and gently shook his head. His proud expression seemed to be saying —— after the duel with me, you’ll end up as miserable as these dead Green Wolves!
All the students saw Caesar’s movements, those daring provocations made people even more excited!
On the other hand, Lin Xiao could only bitterly smile.
“You were ridiculed.” Elena raised the corners of her mouth relishing in his misery.
“Tsk… you’re the culprit. If it wasn’t for you, I wouldn’t need to fight with him!”
"Oh?" Elena didn't have any self-conscious of doing anything wrong, but instead teased. "But if he knew that your true strength was actually intermediate fourth level, and you can also chantless instant cast, will he still duel you?”
“No, then the duel won’t happen.” Lin Xiao shook his head and said with regret, “But my guess is that he’ll tell his dad to arrest me and charge me with some crime then hang me on the execution ground.”
“Why?”
“Have you ever seen a 15-year-old fourth-level magician do chantless instant cast? I will definitely be treated as a demon spy!”
“Oh, that’s why…but, is his dad very powerful?”
“King of Lombard Kingdom, Alex III.” Lin Xiao snorted. “I don’t know whether his dad is powerful or not, but I do know that his army is very powerful.”
“…”
Elena then realized that she had asked a stupid question.
When the battle was over and the crisis was averted, the students could finally breathe a sigh of relief. Although the process was very difficult and who knows which idiot shouted the strange magic chant “fire alcohol” in the process of releasing the spell, but everything ended up well.
Under Caesar’s command, all the students actively participated in the battle and they all contributed their strength to protect the group. The teachers would certainly see everyone’s efforts.
Sure enough, good stuff happens when they follow the big shot, Caesar!
However, there was an exception.
A low male voice sounded.
“Hey, Lin Xiao, you brat, come over here!”
The person who stopped Lin Xiao was a teacher of the warrior department, named Momm, a shiny bald head, with dark skin, and his weapon was an exaggerated giant ax, giving a great sense of oppression, although he looks very fierce, but in fact, he was very kindhearted.
Just now, the person who kindly persuaded Elena not to leave the carriages was him, but at that time, Elena not only did not appreciate it, but also coldly told him to shut up.
Amongst all the people here, I am afraid that only Elena dared to speak to him so arrogantly.
“Lin Xiao, that woman is your maid and I heard her name was Elena?”
“Yes.” Lin Xiao pulled Elena and walked over.
“Earlier, she left the carriages without permission, acted recklessly and went to the front of the group, did you see it?”
“Ah, I saw it.”
As expected, he came for Elena. Lin Xiao secretly thought, not good.
“Why didn’t you tell her to stay in the carriage properly?” Momm asked.
“Oh, actually…” Lin Xiao was scheming on how to explain it in order to fool him, but what happened next made him stupefied.
Momm gave him a fierce knuckle sandwich! It hurt so much that his tears almost came out.
“Ya damn brat, how lustful are you, you knew full well that the actual combat drill was very dangerous, why did you still have to bring the maid? Do you want to kill her?”
“Lustful? Oh… you were coming for me.”
Lin Xiao loudly pleaded innocent, and Elena on the side raised her eyebrows and watched the play that began.
Sure enough, this was a world that depended on appearances. Although Elena was wearing a conservative burqa, her beautiful face was still full of charm. Although she confronted him openly earlier, Momm was still reluctant to scold her, so he took it out on Lin Xiao.
Lust and what not.. was teacher Momm treating me as scum?
“Teacher, actually…”
“Actually what? You’re still trying to quibble! Are you a man or not? Do you believe I won’t give you an E?” Momm clenched his fist and struck a posture that was about to hit him again.
“Wait! Teacher, listen to me!” Lin Xiao discretely glanced at Elena and faintly said, “Actually, this maid, she likes me a lot! Right… that’s it! She has to follow me wherever I go, or she’ll go crazy with sorrow! That’s why I had to take her with me knowing the danger!”
“What? L-l-like you!?” Elena widened her eyes and turned to look at Lin Xiao.
“Am I wrong?” Lin Xiao answered deadpan.
If Elena was too far away from him, she would suffer from the contract’s rebound and would go crazy —— this was not a lie!
“You!……”
“Yeah, Elenchan, you love your master the most, right?”
“I!…..”
If the Demon King ate humans, Elena now wanted to fry Lin Xiao first, then deep fry him and then stew him into a pot of meat soup!
“Sorry, Teacher Momm, it’s all because I didn’t take care of her properly and caused you to worry!” Lin Xiao interrupted Elena, not allowing her to refute.
Although musclebrain Momm was surprised, but there was not much suspicion. He grunted to express why didn't you say it before and so on… As such the fact, “The maid, Elena loves her master, Lin Xiao” was set in stone.
“Ah… it hurts, why’d you step on my foot?”
“Pervert! Don’t talk nonsense!”
“How? I was telling the truth!”
“I, I’ll kill you!”
“Hmph, let’s see you try!”
“You!!!”
“Heh, you guys have quite a good relationship.” Momm felt very awkward standing next to them watching them banter flirtatiously. He touched his big bald head and changed the subject. “But Lin Xiao, this time your maid was lucky, the Green Wolf who jumped her went in the wrong direction, but next time she won’t be so lucky!”
"Wrong direction?"
Lin Xiao knew what Momm was saying —— at that time, there was a Green Wolf in the grass trying to ambush Elena, but he inexplicably fell when he jumped out. Teacher Momm thought that Elena was lucky, but was that really the case?
No, Elena must have done something to the Green Wolf!
He silently looked at Elena, Lin Xiao didn’t say anything —— Elena seemed to have hidden a lot of secrets, such as her various abilities as a demon, like what happened before she was stuffed into the parcel, and also, about the murderer in West Wind Town…
But now was not the time to think about it, Lin Xiao secretly remembered this matter in his heart, ready to wait until there was time to interrogate her.
“Lin Xiao, don’t blame me for not reminding you.” Returning to the main point, Teacher Mom seriously said, “Since you brought your maid to participate in the actual combat drill, then she’s your companion. If she gets injured because of your carelessness, then your rating will definitely be an E!”
Those who abandon their companions are not worthy of being great magicians, and even less worthy of being the hero! Loran Academy would never tolerate cowardly weaklings!
“Okay teacher, I’ll take care of her!” Lin Xiao guaranteed with a solemn vow.
Although the Demon King does not need him to take care of her.
“Sigh, then good luck.” Teacher Momm looked at Elena meaningfully and then went to do something else.
Although he was the one who said it, there was still some doubt in Momm’s heart —— why did the wolf fall to the ground? Was it really luck that the wolf jumped in the wrong direction?
How likely was it?
There was another thing that Momm was very concerned about —— the thought of the “shut up” that Elena said to him before, and the fearless huge axe warrior, Momm, started trembling unconsciously.
How could Lin Xiao's maid be so cold…
……
……
The students succeeded in defeating the wolves, but there was still a lot of work to do. Black Lake Forest was still a few days away from here. Since they weren’t rushed, Teacher Woos decided to set up camp here to reorganize and treat the injured.
Fortunately, the Green Wolves were not strong, the students formed a strong defense line under Caesar’s command. Only a few unlucky ones were scratched, but it was just superficial wounds and not a big problem.
Undisputed, Caesar was the hero of this defensive battle. Not only did he shows this might, and slashing monsters while throwing magic, showing the might of the magic swordsman, he also shared the tiles “Commander” and “Adjutant” with Rosie respectively.
Perhaps, it was even possible for Caesar to get an S-level evaluation.
However, this was good news for Lin Xiao —— Caesar was a man who wanted to be a hero. The higher his score the better! As for Lin Xiao himself, his task was to follow Caesar and let him be the protagonist, he would play the supporting role of the “reserve hero”!
That’s right, just lazing around for the rest of my life!
The sky was getting darker and it was getting late. Under Mr. Woos’s arrangement, the students have set up their tents and prepared to sleep.
Caesar was still in touch with the people like always, he does not act like royalty at all and was crowded in a big tent with the other male students, as for Lin Xiao…
Because Lin Xiao was the only student who brought a maid, and Elena strongly refused to sleep with other girls, after careful consideration, Mr. Woos made a difficult decision ——
“Lin Xiao, you know that right… Although Elena is a maid, she’s also your companion in the actual combat drill. This was the burden that you were willing to carry.”
“It doesn’t matter, Teacher Woos.” Lin Xiao answered with a smile.
Burden? Elena was not a burden, she was the ultimate humanoid self-propelled magic detection radar! Today, during the day, she already noticed the Green Wolves in advance before anyone even saw them. With her around, it was equivalent to carrying a satellite map with him!
“Cough… In addition, I just heard from Teacher Momm that your relationship with Elena is very good.” Woos continued to speak slowly.
“The maid, Elena loves her master, Lin Xiao” —— Lin Xiao didn’t expect that a lie he made casually would be spread around.
There was no choice, he could only toughen out and keep pretending.
“Ah, Elena likes me a lot …… ow ow, Hey, why’d you step on my foot again?”
“Pervert!”
“Heh, your feelings are indeed really good.” Seeing them flirting, Woos chuckled and made a final decision, “So, it’s fine even if you live in the same tent, right?”
“????”
