Chapter 155 – Maid Suppor

t

But only Devoru himself what was really going on.

Other than Devoru, Heino Academy has another person called Charles that they have to watch out for.

“But, you guys just need to focus on Devoru, as for Charles… erhm, well you’ll know then.” When mentioning Charles, Woos didn’t want to speak more.

“You’ll know then?” Lin Xiao tilted his head, not understanding.

He and Elena didn’t understand Woos, but the others’ reactions were strange.

Caesar and Rosie looked at each other, like they were confirming their thoughts. But then they quickly remembered that they were still giving each other the cold shoulder. So, Rosie quickly turned away and pouted angrily, and Caesar also frowned and didn’t speak.

As for Shen DaiYing, she was making an expression like she didn’t understand anything.

Lin Xiao didn’t know what they were doing but he didn’t care.

Regardless of its the orthodox Water Academy, or the treacherous Cato Academy, or the immeasurable Heino Academy, he wasn’t afraid of any of them.

This time, Loran Academy’s team had two experts, Caesar and Shen DaiYing overseeing, just the two of them was enough to carry them, not even mentioning that there was still the big pervert Lin Xiao holding the rear, losing wouldn’t be easy, the question was how to win more effortlessly.

Winning or losing depended on having a grasp on your enemy’s strength.

Although their team composition was strange, but they all had impressive strength.

Firstly was Caesar, he’s never relaxed on his training and is already an advanced fifth-level magic swordsman, with it possibly breaking through to the sixth-level at any time!

Everyone participating this time was around the fourth-level, and if there was a fifth-level, they couldn’t compete with him. Just his strength and talents alone was enough for him to be a hero.

Next was Lin Xiao, because of him being able to increase magic power through sleep, and because he had nothing to do during the trip, he slept a little too much so his magic power had been increasing too quickly. Yesterday he accidentally broke through his sixth-level bottleneck and was now a genuine seventh-level magician.

What’s worth mentioning is that teacher Momm is a seventh-level warrior, and Woos was probably above an eight-level, probably ninth-level… which meant that Lin Xiao could defeat Momm, and was almost at the same level as grand magician Woos.

But he was just a student, it was a good thing that the Academy Tournament doesn’t test the magic power of the participants, otherwise if his true level was revealed, he might be kicked out because of ‘cheating’ accusations.

A 15-year-old seventh-level magician, a monster among monsters.

In addition, Shen DaiYing and Rosie.

Although Rosie worked hard enough, talent had a limit. At the start, she could just barely keep up, but as time goes on, she would fall further and further behind.

Now Rosie was only an advanced fourth-level magician, and has been stuck at the fifth-level bottleneck for a while and can’t breakthrough. Although the Childe house is rich and she could rapidly raise her magic through medicine, but like they say, money can’t change fate, talent can’t be supplemented by medicine.

With her current strength, it’s not surprising that Caesar opposed her to participating.

As for the last person, Shen DaiYing, her real strength was still a mystery.

Maybe to other people Shen DaiYing was just a warrior with beautiful sword skills, but Lin Xiao knew that she was an assassin.

Although Lin Xiao didn’t know exactly how strong her assassination techniques were, he knows that she has never used her true strength yet.

Although he defeated her during the competition, that was because she already got the rights to participate, so she was just playing with him.

Two beautiful swords, one long and one short. When she pulls out her soul slayer, who will be the pitiful one who dies?

“Hey, what are you thinking about?”

Then gentle voice next to his ears pulled him back to reality.

“N-nothing… sister Ying.” He calmly smiled at her, what he saw was still her charming and affectionate face.

But he knew, that hidden behind that face was many unknown secrets.

Lately, he has been getting closer to her nonstop and has gotten a much more intimate relationship with her. He should be happy, but he felt more and more depressed.

He felt that Shen DaiYing’s attitude had changed slightly towards him.

If she could calmly accept his adoration before, now, she could be said to be more wanton.

It was like she didn’t care about how others saw them, or about her engagement. Shouldn’t Lin Xiao rejoice?

No, he was worried.

Because he knew that this happiness would disappear soon, it was just a matter of when.

Heino Kingdom

Despair Island Lake

After a long and difficult trek, they all finally arrived at the lakeside.

The competition was near, other than them, the hundred or so other teams arrived one by one. The good thing was that it was spacious enough, and Heino Kingdom as the host set up a receivedng spot, all of the teams set up camp and quietly waited for the competition to begin.

“Hey look, why are there so many people there?”

“Idiot, that’s the Water academy from Linheyan! Sigh, as expected of an experienced team, even though they came late, no one dares to bother them. Look, they set up closest to the lakeside and chased everyone else away!”

Within the campy, there was a bunch of bored people gossiping in high spirits.

“Tsk, so what? Water academy has always been honorable and won through their strength, not like a certain academy, who’s full of evil tricks!”

“You’re not talking about Gotham Kingdom’s Cato Academy, right… be careful of them hearing you.”

“Hmph, what are you afraid of? Even if all they practice are those despicable assassination techniques, you think they’re going to come and kill me?”

They were chatting like nobody’s business, and Lin Xiao coincidentally heard while passing by.

Just like they said, Cato academy’s actions disgusted people, everyone was clearly gathered by the lakeside, but when they came they set up in a remote corner like they were starving wolves eyeing their prey from within the shrubs.

Lin Xiao wasn’t worried about Water Academy, but rather the treacherous and cunning Cato Academy. Ambushes still threaten him somewhat.

“Lin Xiao? Lin Xiao! Damn brat… where did he run off to!?”

“Teacher Woos, I-I just went out for a walk!” Hearing him, he quickly ran towards that old man, “Ah, it’s so beautiful! I plan on taking Sister… oh no, princess Shen DaiYing for a stroll!”

He prudently corrected himself, at least in front of others he couldn’t directly call Shen DaiYing as “Sister Ying”.

“Hurry up Lin Xiao! Bring your maid and take her to see the head judge!”

“Ah?”

Lin Xiao stopped, and found Elena who was still trying to cook something and brought her to a large tent in the center of the camp.

As soon as he entered, to his surprise, he found everyone from Loran Academy waiting there like something big was going to happen.

According to the process, Woos had to represent Loran Academy and confirm the teams, but after the judge heard that he wanted to bring a maid other than the four participants, they instantly became alert, thinking that they wanted to cheat which lead to the current situation.

“Old man Woos, when did Loran Academy become like Cato Academy? You actually disguised external help as a maid… how laughable.”

Inside the tent, a middle-aged woman put on a ridiculing smile and spoke with animosity.

“Cough… Jennifer, that’s too much! What evidence do you have to speak that way?” Woos frowned and retorted but still restrained himself.

Jennifer was under Heino Kingdom Imperial orders to serve as the head judge, if she was angered, then Loran Academy might be kicked out and sent home before the competition even began.
