Chapter 24 – To Get an A 1 (2/2)

Rumble….the carriage moved slowly.

On the road, there was no laughter in the carriage carrying the students. The students who were full of curiosity now had to retract their playful attitudes and seriously confront the actual combat drill.

If they get an E-level, their life would be all over… It would be better to die in Black Lake Forest!

The actual combat drill, some were delighted and some were worried, of course there was also someone who was completely unenthusiastic ——

“Lin Xiao, you’re messing around! The actual combat drill isn’t a trip to have fun, why’d you bring your maid?” Before they left, Woos had angrily questioned Lin Xiao.

Because of the existence of the slave contract, Elena must stay by Lin Xiao’s side at all times, otherwise she will suffer from the rebound and die, so they must participate together. At first, Woos strongly disagreed. Although Elena was qualified to be a maid, Woos thought that she did not understand magic and was just an ordinary girl. She was a big burden, so it was too dangerous for her to come along.

But later, Teacher Woos compromised.

“It’s just a mere Jackalwere, an inferior demonic beast, where’s the danger?”

When she said that, Elena was expressionless and looked indifferent, as if saying something that was natural. Even Woos was shocked by her overbearing attitude and carelessly let her get on the carriage.

I guess that’s right, in the eyes of the Demon King, any demonic beasts were ‘inferior’, there was nothing wrong with what Elena said.

“Hunting Jackalwere, how boring…” on the road, Lin Xiao was sulky.

As an otaku, participating in outside events were life-threatening. If it was not because the score of the actual combat drill directly determined whether he could participate in the academy tournament in the second half of the year, he would be too lazy to come.

In order to become a reserve hero, he must obediently do what he is told ——

However, his current magic level was already intermediate fourth-level, he also mastered the chantless instant cast skill. Lin Xiao’s combat power alone may be higher than all of the rookies at Loran Academy. To say something irresponsible, he alone was enough to destroy the entire pack of Jackalweres and easily get the S-level score.

At this very moment, Lin Xiao was worrying about something else —— the duel with Caesar!

After the actual combat drill, he must accept Caesar’s challenge and compete with Caesar in the duel. Although there was no suspense in winning or losing, as long as he was willing to win, but things were not that simple.

He could not win this duel. If he won, he will surpass Caesar, be elected as the hero, and then be used as cannon fodder on the battlefield! That would be a tragic life that he could never tolerate!

At the same time he could not lose. The defeated dog would lose all dignity and credit, and he would lose the necessary condition to become a reserve hero. As a result, his dream of eating and dying would be completely shattered.

It was a delicate situation.

“Ahhhh, it’s so annoying, I can’t win or lose. What should I do?” Lin Xiao was about to collapse.

In the end, it’s all Elena’s fault! If she didn’t open her mouth and speak conceited nonsense to ridicule Caesar, then Lin Xiao wouldn’t be worrying about a duel.

However, the main culprit did not have the slightest bit of conscience —— Elena was leaned against the side of the carriage and sitting quietly, holding her arms and shrinking her body into the gray burqa, staring at the trees that kept retreating on both sides. Her quiet expression made one unable to disturb her.

Among all the students, only Lin Xiao was carefree enough to bring a beautiful servant, so Woos was merciful and allowed them to ride a small carriage by themselves.

“Eh?” Elena, who was looking at the scenery, noticed Lin Xiao’s resentful gaze. She wrinkled her brows and asked, “Do you need something?”

“Sigh…it’s useless to complain now anyways.”

“Is it about the duel?” Elena seemed to feel somewhat guilty regarding the incident and unconsciously removed her gaze. “You seem to care about that human.”

The carriage in front of them, Elena’s eyes fell on a handsome blond boy.

That teenager and the other students were crammed into the comparatively larger carriage in front of them, he didn’t feel anything like royalty, only the wide-bladed sword hanging from his waist was particularly eye-catching.

“Oh, you’re talking about Caesar. I think he’s pretty amazing.”

“Why?” Elena asked.

“I think he’ll definitely become a hero!”

“Eh?
