What is a brave?

The brave, the greatest of human heroes! It is the most feared enemy of the evil demon lord! It is the lifelong dream of countless young people on the continent of Irene to become a Brave!

So, what are the benefits of being a Brave?

If you become a Brave, you will enjoy a lifetime of glory and wealth, not only will you be able to honor your ancestors and become famous, but you will also be treated by royalty and have more power than princes and dukes!

Since it is so good, how, may I ask, do I become a Brave?

It's very simple, join Loran Academy and become the most outstanding and powerful person of the young generation, so you will surely become the next Bravey in the near future!

"To be or......"

Half a year ago, Lin Xiao recited two lines of poetry at the interview of Loran Academy and impassionedly stated that his dream was to pull out the holy sword, which symbolizes justice, and become a Brave!

At that time, his tone was firm, his expression was sincere, he clenched his fists as he spoke, and his forehead was so green that even the most experienced interviewer was moved by him to weep and successfully let him pass the exam.

But in fact, Lin Xiao lied, that was not his sincere words at all, it was just a superb acting skill.

As a traveler from Earth, Lin Xiao's biggest hobby is watching anime, playing games, and eating snacks ...... In other words, nerding out! He has no interest in saving the world. He does not want to be a brave, nor does he want to kill the devil. He just wants to eat quietly and wait for death, and enjoy the happy alien life.

Be a Brave? Don't be a fool fool!

You only see the superficial glamour of being a Brave., but you don't know that it's a high-risk profession!

The death rate is extremely high because the Brave must lead the humans against the demons and rush to the front line of the battlefield, so every few years of war, Brave must be re-elected.

What, you ask, why do the brave die even though they are so strong? Come on, to fight head-on against the vast army of demons, being strong is not enough, right?

No way! The first time I saw this, I was able to get to the bottom of it.

"Ahem, today is the magic department's monthly routine magic test, everyone must bring out their full strength and let the teacher see your progress this month! In order of school number, No.1 ......"

A white-haired old man stood in front of the stage, placed a crystal clear crystal ball gently on the dark purple soft cushion, and organized the students on the stage for the magic power test with a stern face.

The level of magic power is an important criterion to evaluate the strength of magicians. Humans can accumulate magic by meditating, drinking magic potions, and doing actual combat, but potions are extremely rare, combat is dangerous, and other evil practices are unreliable, so most magicians have to resort to the stupidest of methods -- meditation.

Practicing meditation for decades is the only way to become a great magician. Meditation is laborious and slow, so there are very few great magicians of seven degrees or higher throughout Loran.

"Rojay, it's your turn."

"Okay teacher!"

Being called by name, a beautiful girl with an elegant temperament stood out. She wore a delicate shirt and short skirt, a gorgeous long light pink hair was very bright, her body was slender, her waist was slim, and when she took a deep breath, her already developed small breasts followed the rhythmic rise and fall. As she slowly ascended the stage, the students' eyes converged on her.

As the eldest lady of the Childer family, Rojay has long been used to being the center of attention. She gently placed her tender white hand on the crystal ball, closed her eyes, and concentrated on mobilizing the magic power in her body.

Soon, a strange dark blue glow emerged from the translucent crystal ball.

"Second level high stage! Rojay, very good. This month you have progressed very quickly, keep working hard, as long as you improve one more paragraph, your magic power will break through to the third level early stage!"

"Breakthrough to the third level?"

The young girl grew her small mouth, too happy to speak, while whispers of students were heard from the stage.

"Hey, you still say Rojay is a vase, hitting the face isn't it? People will soon break through the third level! You're still a middle level two, right?"

"Alas, she is worthy of being the grand lady of the Childer family ...... goddess!"

"Don't dream about it! I heard that the reason she cultivates hard is that she intends to pursue Cesar!"

"What? That Cesar the prince? No way! Well ...... looks like we lazy toads can't eat the swan's meat."

Faced with the gossip from the stage, Rojay just smiled lightly and did not care.

Yes, she does like Cesar, but what's wrong with that? Cesar Alex, fifth son of Lombard, handsome, gifted, who doesn't love a man like that?

Prince Cesar's test has long been over - the earky satge of the third level, the first place in the magic department, and also the first student of the magic department to break through the third level! It can be said that the next position of the Brave is Cesar's!

In order to catch up with him, Rojay has been desperately practicing just to be able to walk into his sight. Now, she has finally done it!

"Next, Lin Xiao!" The teacher's voice sounded again.

An ordinary-looking, unremarkable black-haired teenager on the stage stood out in response. Unlike earlier, the students had little interest in Lin Xiao's quiz and were still whispering about the gossip of Rojay and Cesar.

Lin Xiao walked up to the stage slowly and brushed past Rojay who was about to go back.

Disliked? Lin Xiao laughed bitterly in his heart.

It is only natural that Lin Xiao, who is only one of the many people in Loran Academy, is a noble and beautiful woman who is a goddess in the hearts of the students, and it is only natural that she despises them, the "toads".

Lin Xiao touched the crystal ball with both hands and felt the body temperature left by Rojay, he could not help but hesitate.

To be honest, is Cesar really the most powerful student in the magic department? Not necessarily.

In fact, the first student of the magic department to break through the third level was Lin Xiao, who broke through the third level a month ago, only that no second person knew about it except himself.

It may be difficult for others to raise their magic power, but it couldn't be easier for Lin Xiao.

As a traveler, he had no other ability, but he possessed an unbelievable talent that all magicians in the continent coveted - not to meditate, but to accumulate magic power by sleeping!

Since he came from the Earth, his soul did not belong to the Irene continent, so when he was sleeping, his soul would interact with his surroundings in a wonderful way, repelling, merging, fighting, and repeatedly, the magic power was somehow flowing into his body.

This is simply a cheat! Other magicians were meditating hard, but what about him? What magician can compare with him?

"Okay Lin Xiao, show your full strength, let me see your progress this month." The white-haired teacher urged.

"Okay, Teacher Woods."

Lin Xiao returned to his senses and focused his attention on the quiz in front of him.

Should I bring out my full strength? He was a little hesitant.

According to his estimation, his real strength was already close to the fourth level, and he deserved to be the first one, which would surely impress everyone, of course, including that lady Rojay.

This is a perfect opportunity to shame them on the face! But, if he did that ......

No, no. Lin Xiao instantly dismissed the idea.

"It's better to use only 30% of the magic power as usual ......" he muttered in a small voice.

With only thirty percent of magic power, he should be in the middle of the second level, although it was not comparable to Rojay and Cesar, but it was considered a middle to upper grade among other students.

What? If you ask why he hide his power.

Because, he doesn't want to be a Brave!

If he reveals his true strength, he will overtake Cesar to become the number one in the magic department and become a highly regarded pride of heaven, so that the person who may become a Brave in the future will not be Cesar, but him!

No, no, absolutely not, let that idiot Cesar do the hard work of being a Brave, Lin Xiao will never compete with him!

Having made up his mind, he closed his eyes and carefully controlled his magic power, taking out only thirty percent. Soon, the translucent sphere lit up with light, different from the dark blue of Rojay just now, this time inside the crystal ball was a beautiful light blue glow, as if the sky was as clear and blue,

"Is it the middle of the second level?" Lin Xiao opened his eyes and asked tentatively.

But when he saw the sky blue halo, his whole body froze.

"Magic power level, third level early stage! Good boy, even higher than Rojay!" Teacher Woods' small eyes shone with an enthusiastic light, "You actually broke through the third level as well? Haha, Lin Xiao, you and Cesar are tied for first place in this magic power test!"

"Tied for first place ...... what? Wait!" Lin Xiao was stunned.

Not only Lin Xiao, there was an uproar on the stage, the students were staring at the light blue crystal ball as if they had seen a ghost, Rojay, who had a disdainful face just now, was now clenching her silver teeth, her eyes were full of unspeakable surprise and resentment.

In the hearts of his classmates, Lin Xiao was the most ordinary top student in the magic department, with moderate to high grades and very stable.

Fortunately, Cesar finished the test early and left early, otherwise, he would have rushed out and had a duel to the death with Lin Xiao on the spot!

Mr. Woods was so excited that he patted Lin Xiao's shoulder and said loudly, "Lin Xiao, this is only a tie for first place, next time if you surpass Cesar, you will be the strongest student in the magic department and the brave one will be yours! Hahahaha!"

"Yes, yes, Teacher Woods ...... I I I I will work hard." Lin Xiao stuttered in reply, forcing a smile out of his uneasiness.

The position of brave person is not his? Are you kidding. It just push him to face the demon. Mr. Woods is just rubbing salt in his wounds!

How could this happen? He should obviously be a middle level two with only 30% of his magic power, how did he become a level three with two more levels?

Lin Xiao desperately recalled where he had made a mistake. This month he didn't work hard on his training at all, and even slacked off more than before. He not only skipped class a lot, slept all day, and was late several times in a row in the morning, but also ......

Wait, slept?

Lin Xiao suddenly realized. He almost forgot that he was relying on sleeping to improve his magic power. He slept a lot this month, and his sleep time had increased significantly, that meant, his magic power was growing faster!

His real strength now was not 'close' to the fourth level, but he had 'broken through' the fourth level long ago!

Thinking of this, Lin Xiao could not slap himself twice.

It's all over now.

"Help, I don't want to go to be cannon fodder, I just want to be a alternate brave in peace and quiet and then muddle through!"

Lin Xiao, a traveler whose dream is to become an alternate brave, is fifteen years old and dies.
