Chapter 48: It seems there are arcane particles

“Enough!”

A cold and stern female voice hung in the air. “A senior arcane master cutting such a sorry figure when faced with a freshman, our Divine Shield Academy can’t afford this shame. Apologize to him for what you said.”

“What!”

Everyone followed the source of the voice and looked in that direction. They saw a girl standing on the net of wire fences on the tall walls surrounding Divine Shield Academy.

Each wire on the fence atop the academy’s perimeter walls was only half a finger thick. On top of that, they weren’t strung tight, but this girl stood very steadily on an iron wire, even looking as if she’d been watching for a long while.

This girl’s figure was somewhat tall and slender, her hair tied in a ponytail behind her. Her facial features were beautiful, but her face was covered in a stern and unwavering expression that was difficult to put into words. Matched together with the straight uniform of Divine Shield Academy, the feeling she gave off was that of a genuine female army officer overflowing with heroic spirit.

“Charlotte!”

“When did she come here!”

“That’s one of the main members of our Divine Shield Academy’s team, lady Charlotte?”

“Why do you call her lady Charlotte?”

“Because she’s already been knighted by clan Lannister, she’s already a formal member of an army in the western territories. She’ll certainly join an arcane team there in two years.

Ringel’s face was still full of violence when he turned around, even looking as if he were itching to brawl with the one who spoke. However, the murderous intent and violence vanished in a flash from his face at his first clear glance of this woman standing on the wall. His features turned incomparably pale.

“He’s the one who came to our Divine Shield Academy and challenged me. Charlotte, you’re actually telling me to apologize to him?”

He still couldn’t resist shouting at the girl on the wall however, “The opponent came knocking at our door but we have to beg him for forgiveness instead? Won’t that be a shame when the word spreads to other academies!”

The heroic girl called Charlotte vanished from the wall, her silhouette appearing not far away behind him in a flash.

“He only came to challenge you because you spoke insulting words about Chris, isn’t it?”

“You have to remember something. The fame of an academy isn’t something decided by someone like you, by a couple scuffles like this. It’s decided by people like Chris, by the academy’s team, by these battles they fight, and these people going out of the school on truly dangerous missions.”

“A senior student of Divine Shield Academy like you, someone who can already condense arcane particles, got knocked down by a freshman from Holy Dawn Academy, beaten into such a corner. You’ve already lost.”

A cold layer of frost seemed to envelop Charlotte’s face. Her gaze locked onto Ringel like a sharp sword. “Hurry up and apologize!”

Ringel lowered his head. He didn’t dare say anything else.

The ambiance stalled for several seconds. Then he opened his mouth and said, “Sorry.”

“This girl called Charlotte is a member of team Divine Shield?”

“She’s actually been knighted by clan Lannister already… Only those battlemasters who have the capacity to carry out dangerous missions and complete them can gain clan Lannister’s favors.”

Moss looked blankly at Charlotte. He could already ascertain that this girl was one of the members of team Divine Shield through the whispers of the Divine Shield students around him. He didn’t know why, but, although this good-looking girl didn’t give him the same kind of terrifying pressure like Stingham or Ferguillo, he still had the feeling Charlotte’s body was abnormally heavy.

“If you dare say it again in the future, I’ll hit you again!” Ayrin said when he saw Ringel’s apology, almost unable to stand upright. Then he glanced at the wall Charlotte had hopped down from, then looked again at Charlotte. “You’re a pretty good person, very powerful. Mm. Also very beautiful.”

Charlotte hadn’t thought Ayrin would say something like this. A strange blush suddenly floated on her healthy skin the color of wheat.

“You’re called Ayrin? A freshman from Holy Dawn Academy?” She asked Ayrin, looking at him.

“Yes.” Ayrin heaved rough breaths while watching her. “You’re a member of team Divine Shield? I’ll definitely join Holy Dawn Academy’s team as well in the future, then I’ll defeat you.”

“What a strange guy.”

Charlotte blinked. Seeing Ayrin’s completely serious appearance, she let out a rare proud smile. “Alright then. If it’s possible, then we’ll see each other again in the tournament.”

“Ok. I’m going!”

Ayrin nodded very straightforwardly at Charlotte, then turned around and walked away.
