Flanders stood behind Suo as he reached out with his right hand, gently pinching Suo’s neck with a slender straw finger.

Suo, on the other hand, was already in tears. His entire body was trembling uncontrollably.

He sensed that the strange creature behind him could kill him instantly.

As a member of the Mage Association, his life was actually in the hands of a strange creature.

In the past, when he had just learned magic and joined the Mage Association, he was what the seniors called ‘a promising newcomer’.

Suo was so high-spirited that he looked down on the world.

It was as if the whole world was no longer in his eyes.

Now, he had been a member of the Mage Association for an entire year.

Yet, in front of a strange creature, he was so scared that tears and snot flowed out of his eyes and nose in front of his team members.

Suo felt that his life might be over soon.

Even if he could return alive, he would probably become a joke to everyone.

Subconsciously, Suo looked at Lucius who was clutching his broken arm. His face was pale.

This glance made him feel even more ashamed.

This ‘F-class trash’ that he had looked down on before actually displayed astonishing willpower at this moment.

Even under the pain of losing his arm, he did not try to flee at all. He did not even make a sound.

As for himself, what was he?

“Young man, you seem to be very afraid.”

A straw head slowly stretched out from behind Suo’s shoulder. Some of the scarecrow’s messy straw strands that had not been combed out gently brushed Suo’s face.

This time, Suo’s body could not help but tremble violently.

He wanted to say that he was a noble mage and that he would never succumb to strange creatures.

He wanted to say that he was a genius rookie in the Mage Association and that he had only been careless for a moment.

He wanted to say that he was not afraid of death and to ask his leader and team members to ignore him and attack the scarecrow.

However, these words that he had imagined could not be said.

Instead, what came out of his mouth was, “Don’t kill me. Please, don’t kill me.”

After saying this, Suo completely discarded his reputation.

He was no longer imagining the scene that should have happened in his heart.

He finally returned to reality, and the reality was that his life was in the hands of the scarecrow.

And he, Suo…

Wanted to live.

“As long as you spare my life, I’ll do anything you want me to do.

“Please, let me go. Spare my life.”

At this moment, the trembling of Suo’s body had become much less intense, as if he had become a little calmer than before.

However, the words he spoke were even more insane.

Lucius looked at the young man in front of him in disbelief.

He used to be so high-spirited and confident.

Now, in order to survive, he actually begged for mercy from a strange creature.

He even said he would do anything for him.

He could not believe his ears and eyes.

“Suo, do you know what you’re saying?” the leader with the buzz cut said coldly.

“Ha… Hahaha.”

When Suo heard the buzz cut man’s words, the tears in his eyes grew even more turbulent.

He opened his trembling lips and said with a slightly deranged smile, “You’ve been in the Mage Association for eight years. How would you know how difficult it is for us rookies?

“I’m about to f*cking die right now!

“I’m about to f*cking die!

“Not everyone can be as expressionless as you!”

At this point, Suo could no longer continue.

He bit his lip and closed his eyes.

Finally, in order to justify his actions, he compared himself to an ordinary newbie.

In order to save his life, Suo ultimately abandoned the pride he once cared about the most.
