Walking on the road to Ms. Mary's office, I was constantly pondering the childhood friend problem.
Childhood friends, this kind of setting actually exists in this world!
Generally speaking, it refers to companions who have always played together since childhood, but... how is that possible? This setting is completely wrong.
Although it is true that Yaling and I came from the same city, but... how could I have grown up with her?
And at that time, I clearly had the world modify Yaling's memories and change the setting of being engaged.
But...
Why did it turn into childhood friends!!!!!!!!
After thinking for a long time, the only conclusion I could come up with was... that guy in the world learned this term from somewhere and wanted to see if this setting was interesting.
Well, this setting is not unacceptable, but on the other hand, I have no memory of being childhood friends at all. If she has any strange childhood promises, then I'm in big trouble...
"Um..."
Suddenly, Yaling, who had been silent behind me, spoke up.
"What's up?"
"Do you remember... the things you told me when you were a child?"
"..."
Hey hey hey! Don't raise flags like this! Why! World, you're watching, right?! Right?! It's interesting, isn't it?! Don't play tricks on me like this! What do you really want?!
At times like this... it's normal for the male lead to pretend to be clueless... No, no, pretending to be clueless at times like this could also lead to a BAD ENDING with about a 20% possibility! And this world is not a game world, this probability will increase significantly.
30%...
This probability may not look high, but in reality, it is quite terrifying.
This world, just like the real world, only has one chance to choose. Except for those of us who came from different worlds, if anyone else dies, they will directly become undead and fall into the abyss.
Well, since that's the case, the probability of a frontal attack should be higher no matter how you look at it!
"Well, out of all the things we talked about in the past, which one are you referring to?"
"Huh? Really? Um... I talked about it many times? Uh, well... let's talk about it next time! Not now, so..."
"..."
Is the other person confused? Is this such an embarrassing question?
If that's really the case, it would be difficult for me to answer as well.
But, in a way, this is a way to avoid the worst outcome, right? Although I feel sorry for Yaling, I have no accurate data on how the false identity I am currently in is reflected in her memories. I don't dare to act casually without accurate information.
"By the way... have you been getting along well with Princess Cher recently? Did something happen?"
"Ah, yes, because... you know, our Wood family has fallen out of favor in the Chelfa Empire, so our family has no foothold in Chelfa. Even if I graduate from Duoge Academy, I can't return to my unit and become a captain of the knight's squad... Although there are people willing to follow me, but..."
Fallen out of favor? Although it caused many problems, isn't the main reason because that damn king wanted to directly take the key to the underground ruins from the Wood family? Although they lost two main forces, it shouldn't have resulted in this... Don't tell me it's for the sake of the plot...
"After I told Princess Cher about this, she became very excited and appointed me as her bodyguard knight! Although I am not as strong as her, she directly appointed me despite her family's opposition. And so, I accepted."
I see, in that case, it's not a bad turn of events.
"But... it's really great to be in the same academy as Fir. We can take care of each other..."
"Yeah, but that can only happen this semester, otherwise, the distance would really be a problem. By the way, when you were at Duoge Academy before, did you notice any direct conflicts between noble and commoner students?"
"Yeah, it was indeed serious. After all, everyone is passionate warriors, and once a problem arises, they would solve it through battle."
As soon as this topic came up, Yaling suddenly returned to her normal state, and a serious expression appeared on her face.Indeed, it's at times like this that the essence of being a knight is truly revealed, isn't it?
"There have been continuous accidents as a result, but such battles enhance the combat capabilities of warriors, and afterwards, nobles help the students from the noble faction, so..."
"So, everything just gets brushed under the rug, right? Honestly, the situation is not good now, especially since there are still students from the Magic Academy. Any random private duel will lead to complications within complications."
"And from the tone of Senior Lanya just now, it seems that such incidents have already occurred, but what level are they..."
"We'll find out soon, look."
I pointed ahead of us, where three swordsmen with the hilt of their knight swords at their waists were slowly approaching us on the road, provoking us with their eyes.
They're already making a move so quickly? This is really...
"Miss Knight over there, please stay away from that mage. The person on the other side has no sense of knightly honor, and someone like that is not worthy to be with you!"
Speaking of which, Yaling still has the emblem of the Royal Knights on her, while I'm just wearing a regular student robe.
I don't have the habit of wearing the emblem of the National Mage on my chest, of course.
But of course, I wouldn't hang something like that on my chest. Otherwise, where's the fun in that~
"Fir is not..."
Before Yaling could finish speaking, I stopped her with my hand.
Looking at the opponent's chest, two intermediate knights and one junior knight, with a noble family emblem beside them. Perfect.
"You just said that because such battles enhance the combat capabilities of the students, everyone... doesn't have any complaints, right?"
"Um..."
"That's good then. You three, come on. I won't mention one-on-one fights, just be careful not to get beaten."
"You bastard! Get ready to face me! Activate battle enchantment!"
A red enchantment instantly spread from the space in front of the three, surrounding an area of 100 square meters.
Locked, entering duel mode.
Duel Mode: After the battle, the combatants will not die but the battle will directly end, with 80% experience gained.
Fir: Lv.17, Knight
Neutral, Focused, National Knight of the Ovila Empire
John: Lv.15, Knight
Neutral, Righteous, National Knight of the Chester Kingdom
Hershey: Lv.13, Knight
Neutral, Extreme, National Knight of the Mark Duchy
So, our system is truly syncing with the rules of this world.
That makes it easier.
"Go to hell..."
"Super Arcane, Antinatural Frost."
Just as the intermediate knight in the middle raised his knight's sword to charge, I waved my hand and a white flame surged towards him!
"What?"
The opponent obviously had never seen a skill like this before. After hesitating for a moment, he chose to dodge.
His charge immediately changed trajectory, seemingly using some kind of skill, and he managed to avoid my frost.
But even though he dodged, the white flames still covered his right shoulder armor, enveloping it in white frost! Not only that, he steadied himself, and the frost-covered armor made a crisp sound, then cracked open.
"This... how is this possible?"
"You'd better be more careful of what's behind you."
I kindly reminded him, raised my finger, and the white flames made a turn in the air and flew straight back at him!
"Ao... Ultimate Skill, Sword of Edward!"
A black shadow emerged from him, then rushed out from his body! After colliding with the white flame head-on, it turned into an ice sculpture!
However, the white cold air also wrapped around him for a moment. Immediately, his HP bar dropped by 50% and he was frozen!
This wasn't an accident, but rather that the opponent was just a level 17 intermediate knight. Moreover, he was just a knight-in-training, who probably hasn't had many real battles yet.
"Who's next?"
My longsword was already broken, and the blasphemer was still hanging around Liejiao's neck, disappeared without a trace. I had no choice but to go empty-handed.However...
The difference isn't significant, right?
