Chapter 59 – S-level Muddler (1/2)
TN/ED: It’s the new year! Enjoy the chapter. I’m going to stop procrastinating this year…
“Demon King, could you please try a bit more with your acting? Are you at a funeral, what’s with your stiff tone? Or, do you want me to personally instruct you in acting?”
Lin Xiao’s voice was very quiet, only the two of them could hear it, but Elena pretended not to hear him, and her expression still remained the same and looked like she had facial nerve paralysis. She continued to cry stiffly, as she hammered away at Lin Xiao’s chest with her small fists.
“Master! I’m so happy, master! Master!”
“Cough… You, stop hammering me! It hurts… I was wrong, I was wrong…” Lin Xiao couldn’t even speak clearly because of her hammering, and quickly pleaded for mercy.
Seeing Lin Xiao regain consciousness, Woos and Momm quickly came over. Right now, they weren’t worried about punishing Lin Xiao for leaving the camp without permission, they just wanted to figure out what exactly happened.
What happened by Black Lake last night? Where did the Jackalwere leader go?
This was the story that Lin Xiao gave…
In order to obtain the S-level evaluation, Lin Xiao, Caesar, Rosie, and Elena formed a small team to go deep into Black Lake Forest to find the Jackalwere leader. Unexpectedly, Elena was captured by the Jackalwere leader last night and almost died.
After deliberation, the three decided to pledge their lives to save Elena! The three of them succeeded in killing all the Jackalwere lackeys, but the leader was too strong and they entered a tough battle!
“Fireball was ineffective! It was too strong, it was also wearing armor, and our attacks were completely ineffective!”
As of now, Lin Xiao has not lied yet, but the story afterward was worlds apart from the actual situation…
“What did you guys do then?” Momm was once again attracted to Lin Xiao’s story and was unable to take his eyes off Lin Xiao, like a primary school student, giving Woos a headache.
“The battle entered a deadlock. At this time, Caesar thought up a way to defeat the enemy!” Lin Xiao replied.
“Caesar?”
Momm didn’t believe it. The Jackalwere leader had magic immunity, no matter how much of a genius he was, what good idea could he have?
At this time, Lin Xiao gave the answer…
“Caesar told us that although the fireball can’t damage the Jackalwere leader, the temperature and explosion caused by the fireball will not disappear!”
“Temperature?” Momm touched his big bald head and couldn’t understand what he meant.
“Yes, temperature! Wasn’t the Jackalwere leader wearing sturdy iron armor? Even if it didn’t hurt, as long as we continue to attack with fireballs, the iron armor will be heated because of the explosion of the fireballs! As the temperature rises, the armor becomes teppanyaki! The temperature will make it burn!”
“My God, there was such a means? Caesar really is smart, as expected of a magic swordsman, his thinking is very nimble!” Momm continued to exclaim in admiration, and sincerely raised his thumb.
“That is of course! The Jackalwere leader was howling because of the heat, and then Caesar used his sword skills to pick off the armor piece by piece! Finally, with Rosie’s protection, he wounded one of its legs and caused it to fall into Black Lake and sink to the bottom of the lake!”
This was the story that Lin Xiao’s racked his brains to fabricate. How exciting! How trustworthy! Even he himself felt that he was a genius of storytelling.
It was like it was real!
“Wonderful! So the person who killed the leader was Caesar!” After listening to the story, Momm quickly clapped.
Everyone was deeply impressed by Lin Xiao’s story, and there was no doubt about the authenticity. Only Woos was stroking his beard and quietly thinking, he did not speak for a long time.
If the situation was really as Lin Xiao said, then the credit naturally belonged to Caesar alone. The person who closely cooperates with Caesar and played the supporting role was Rosie. She did the second most work. As for Lin Xiao, in the story, he himself was an indispensable character that was completely taking advantage of the situation and had no feeling of existence.
Woos did not believe it.
He felt like Lin Xiao was purposely trying to cover something up, he deliberately gave the credit to Caesar, and is concealing his own strength! With his understanding of Lin Xiao, he was mature, he didn’t covet fame and glory, and is very scheming… If it was Lin Xiao, he would definitely spread this kind of panic!
However, Woos had no evidence to prove that he lied. Anyways, the body of the Jackalwere leader was already gone, and dead men tell no tales, so Lin Xiao could say whatever he wanted to.
Not long after, the other students rushed to Black Lake under the leadership of the other teachers. Everyone was shocked when they heard Caesar’s magnificent feat of defeating the Jackalwere leader.
As for Caesar, Rosie and Lin Xiao’s group, the students gave them different evaluations.
“Caesar is too powerful! Is this the power of a magic swordsman? He can beat the Jackalwere leader in such a clever way… After returning to the academy, the principal will surely award him an S-level evaluation?”
