Chapter 14 – Experiment on Testing Grounds (1)
“What? It turned out to be such a simple test.” A beautiful girl with a slim body and slender waists said indifferently from within a crowd.
“Of course, Miss you are about to break through the third level, and your magic control is exceptional, you will definitely pass the test with flying colors!” A middle-aged man in formal black attire responded reverently.
“Hmph, that’s obvious.” The pink-haired girl in a short skirt smiled smugly.
Although Rosie’s magic affinity isn’t as good as Caesar’s, but when it came to magic manipulation, she definitely would not lose to anyone! This kind of test was too simple for her. If it wasn’t for participating in the combat drill, she definitely would not waste her time on this kind of stuff.
As long as she passes the selection test, she can participate in the “real combat drill”, and she can team up with Caesar, can fight side by side with Caesar, together with Caesar…hehe
Thinking of this, Rosie curled the pink hair on the side of her head, stood on her tip toes trying to find someone from within the crowd.
Strange, where is Caesar?
She feels a bit vexed. Everyone was swarming around teacher Woos wanting to start the test earlier. She didn’t really want to join the swarm of people, so she was squeezed to the outermost of the crowd and lost track of Caesar.
“Eh?” Outside the crowd, she saw a familiar face.
Lin Xiao also stood at the outermost area of the crowd, looking like a slob that didn’t get enough sleep. Not only did it look like he doesn’t care about the test at all, but he was also happily chatting with his silver-haired maid.
“Ah, how come I feel blood rushing to my head every time I see him? Damn Lin Xiao!” said Rosie as she angrily stomped her feet.
She wants to find a chance to teach Lin Xiao a lesson, getting payback for Caesar, but no good plan came to mind.
“Miss, if there’s anything you need me to do…” Afu said in a timely manner.
“You? What can you do? It’s not like you can just go and beat him up. I’m not a bad girl that will resort to violence!” Rosie sighed helplessly, preparing to change her line of sight, but then she suddenly thought of something and exclaimed, “Ah, that’s right!”
“Miss, what’s your order?”
“Hey, I just thought of a way!” Rosie giggled at her epiphany.
Making Lin Xiao look like a fool is too easy, all she has to do is find and reveal his cheating methods! Even if he didn’t cheat, it would still be a win if she could find out exactly what secrets he had hidden!
The qualification test is almost about to begin, Lin Xiao must have prepared a plot to steal the limelight away from Caesar! You see, isn’t he discussing something with his maid? There must be something going on here!
With an idea, Rosie whispered to Afu, “You, go and listen to what Lin Xiao and his maid are talking about, and report back to me later.”
“Understood, miss!”
“Hey… be careful, don’t get discovered!”
“Please leave it to me!”
Afu nodded, his figure flashed and he disappeared into the crowd.
Don’t think of Afu as a mere servant, he used to serve as a soldier. Not just any soldier, but an elite soldier who specialized in special missions for the kingdom! Eavesdropping on some children talking is child’s play for him.
Soon, Afu found and hid behind a big tree that was near Lin Xiao, and avoided the line of sight of the crowd. He didn’t move an inch and suppressed his breathing to be as quiet as possible. As a result, the other party should not be aware of his existence.
The eavesdropper Afu successfully positioned himself, and Lin Xiao and his silver-haired maid still did not notice it, they were still nonchalantly chatting away.
“Oh, but I can’t hear clearly.” Afu was very depressed.
Although the other party didn’t notice him, there was too much distance between them. He could not clearly hear their conversation, but there is no better way at the moment. The field is too empty, there are too many students, it was already difficult enough finding a large enough tree to hide behind. Afu obviously can’t just walk right up to them, pretend to pass by and stand behind them to listen in to their conversation.
Let me listen in for a while first.
……
……
“Elena! You just said…” Lin Xiao said as if he had just discovered a big secret. “You just said that my strength is greater than all of them, right?”
“Correct.”
