Chapter 147: A suspicious figure (2/2)

“How are your arms?”

Charlotte finally felt she was somewhat back to normal.

“No big deal.” Ayrin smiled and flung his arms wrapped in bandages. “They don’t hurt all that much anymore. I should be able to participate in the match against Rapier Academy.”

“You have to fight even against Rapier Academy?” Charlotte lifted her head, startled.

Ayrin nodded. “Teacher Carter’s planning for me and Moss to go on stage as much as possible so that we can progress faster. For the others, it’s best to keep their strength secret. Against Silver Trout Academy, it should be an especially hard confrontation .”

“Teams like Silver Trout and Golden Stag, they’re an entirely different affair compared to a team like Mountain Kings.” Charlotte let out a soft breath. She touched her slightly burning cheeks, finally feeling herself back to normal. “Almost everyone on their main rosters masters special taboo skills that are impossible to totally understand for those on the outside. Also, what’s the most fearsome is, many of them have the talent of unique bloodlines. In theory, if you can defeat team Silver Trout, then you’d really have the strength to challenge for the cup.”

“Charlotte.” After Charlotte was done with her meal, walking toward the arena together with Ayrin, Ayrin suddenly yelled her name.

Lost in thought, her eyes entranced by both their shadows, Charlotte came back to her senses with a start. She turned around and looked at him. “What?”

“Are you free in the next few days?” Ayrin asked, looking at her.

“Why?” Charlotte suddenly felt a little guilty again.

Ayrin’s smile brimmed with expectation. He said, “I’d like you to help me with training.”

“Me, help with your training?” Charlotte stared in a slight daze.

“Yeah.” Ayrin nodded firmly. “It seems I prefer training by fighting. If you were to fight against me, then with your fighting ability, it’d surely squeeze out my potential all the better.”

“But…” Charlotte was a little hesitant.

“What, you’re not free?” Ayrin was a bit disappointed.

“Alright then.” For some reason, when she saw the disappointment in Ayrin’s eyes, Charlotte suddenly nodded as though she were possessed by demons.

“Great!” Ayrin immediately jumped in joy.

All around them, people walking by suddenly looked in their direction.

“Hey, isn’t that Ayrin from team Holy Dawn?”

“Who’s the girl with him, it doesn’t look like she’s wearing Holy Dawn Academy’s clothes.”

They heard sudden whispers.

Charlotte suddenly blushed a little. “Really, I just agreed to help with your training, why are you acting so happy?” she said in a hush, stamping her feet.

“Of course I’m happy. I don’t know why, I feel particularly happy just talking with you.” Ayrin laughed happily, then scratched his head, a little embarrassed. “In fact, the first time I saw you jump down from the wall in Divine Shield Academy and land with a bang, I already thought you were particularly heroic, particularly pretty and particularly strong. Back then, when we were going back with Moss, we even talked on the way about why you seemed so heavy, but your figure was still so fine, not fat at all.”

“Glib!”

Charlotte’s face became even redder. Her mood soared for some inexplicable reason.

She gave Ayrin a glare. There was a sudden spring to her steps, a little bounce, an extremely rare occurrence.

“Strange.”

All of a sudden, she heard Ayrin mumbling behind her.

“What’s the matter?”

Charlotte turned around and looked at Ayrin.

“There’s someone like Lotton, his eyes are very strange when he looks at me.”

“Him?” Charlotte followed Ayrin’s gaze and saw the back of a boy clothed mainly in blue, but with great white patterns. She suddenly blinked. “That’s Hawkmoon Academy’s school uniform.”

“Someone from Hawkmoon academy?” Ayrin shook his head, even more baffled. “I”m not sure why. Lotton gave me a weird feeling before, this person also gives me a weird vibe.”

“You noticed him looking at you right now, then the feeling he gave you was the same as what you felt when Lotton focused on you?” Charlotte frowned. She immediately noted down this person’s appearance and distinctive traits.

His build was probably about the same as Ayrin’s, with long brown curly hair.

His walking posture was very peculiar, as though he only used the tip of his feet, while his heels never touched the ground.

“Hawkmoon Academy has a match in a bit as well. When the time comes, we’ll take another good look at this person,” she told Ayrin.

What was different from an ordinary team member was, she and Ivan often went on missions with Lannister’s troops and received special training. Hence, she and Ivan were certain that the aura coming from Lotton that day in the tournament was definitely the aura that only an arcane master who already went through many real close-quarter fights could have, or even that of someone who already killed many people.

If someone like him were to stare at someone and reveal some hostility, some desire to kill, then someone with keen perception might well feel strange vibes.

This person from Hawkmoon Academy also gave Ayrin the same feeling, so this made her instantly feel that this person was as suspicious as Lotton.
