Today when Lin Xiao brought Airea to school, he had expected to encounter all kinds of trouble, but he had also been completely prepared for it.
First of all, Airea's beauty would definitely cause a sensation, but the pestering of ordinary students Lin Xiao did not care, he only needed to concentrate on one person - Rojay.
Lin Xiao knew that Rojay, that little jealous girl, would definitely come to trouble himself out of jealousy. The school rule that no outsiders are allowed to be brought into the campus was a rule he had known for a long time. Of course, he also knew that students could bring servants, and his previous performance was just an act for Rojay to see.
Don't forget, he is a faker who successfully fooled the interviewer of Loran Academy, so this acting skill is not a problem.
Before coming here, he made a temporary agreement with Airea. From today, he took in Airea to live, took her to school and helped her hide her identity, while relatively, Airea had to pretend to be Lin Xiao's maid.
At that time, Airea did not say a word and held her head for a long time before finally nodding her agreement, looking very reluctant.
Lin Xiao knew that the noble demon lord was definitely not willing to be a maid, and might even be thinking of making trouble for him, but in the short time he had, he didn't have time to do ideological work for Airea, and he didn't have time to train her properly to become a competent maid.
As long as Airea doesn't make a mess, his plan is flawless!
"My name is Airea, and I am the master's slave."
This sentence was taught to her by Lin Xiao beforehand, and when Airea actually said it in a clear voice, Lin Xiao was finally relieved.
As a demon, although Airea spoke fluent universal language, she was not human after all, and if she encountered Rojay's cross-examination it was likely to reveal her weaknesses. Therefore, Lin Xiao chose to let Airea make the most straightforward speech, striking out with a straight punch, so that Rojay could not continue to press and pester her.
So, the first lady, Rojay, successfully passed this hurdle, and next, it was the turn of the dear Emperor Cesar.
The consequences of the previous day's magic test were irreversible, the "tied for first place" was an established fact, and the excuse that the "crystal ball was damaged and the result was wrong" could not be used.
Cesar's self-esteem is very strong, and Lin Xiao stole his first place, he will definitely not be convinced. And today, as expected, he really did so.
Everything is under control! The moment Cesar placed the identity badge on the table, Lin Xiao even wanted to laugh.
Dueling? Don't be silly, he wouldn't duel with Cesar. Although he could easily rub Cesar on the ground, use his profound magic power to directly crush, beat Cesar so much that he couldn't fight back, impress everyone, and then become the unparalleled genius magician of Loran Academy, but that was meaningless.
If he won against Cesar, Cesar would lose his reputation and thus lose his qualification to become a brave man, and in that case, the future brave man's position would probably be on Lin Xiao's head. The first time I saw this, I was able to get to the top of the list.
On the other hand, if Lin Xiao lost, his own reputation would be in ruins, and his dream of becoming an alternate Brave would be shattered.
In short, whether this duel was lost or won Lin Xiao's dream would be shattered! Both ends were not good, so he had only one choice - to refuse this duel.
It was easy to get the self-esteem Cesar to give up the duel.
Can Lin Xiao really do it?
It's show time!
"I refuse!" Lin Xiao said those words with a strong voice.
The whole room was in an uproar.
Airea cocked her head, a little baffled by the overreaction of the crowd. She was a demon, so she did not understand how great a shame it meant for a magician to refuse a duel. That was almost the same as stripping naked and running naked in the street.
"What did you say?" The angry Cesar leaned on the table with both hands and roared, "Don't let me look down on you! Lin Xiao, duel with me, I believe you are an opponent worthy of using my full strength!
"Cesar, I ask you, why do you want to duel with me?"
"Who is stronger and who is weaker, the winner can be divided! There can only be one strongest student in the magic department!"
"But why, you must fight for the first place?"
"Stupid!" Cesar threw away his right arm violently, "Because only the first and only the strongest one is qualified to be a brave person!"
"So, you are initiating a duel with me in order to become a brave?" Lin Xiao narrowed his eyes and smiled faintly, "How comical."
"What's so comical about it? Lin Xiao, are you humiliating me!"
"Prince Cesar, you should understand a truth." Lin Xiao tapped his finger on the table, with the tone of a teacher teaching his student, "The level of magic power is only one of the criteria to evaluate the strength and weakness, in addition, the control of magic, the delicacy of completing the circuit composition, and the knowledge of magic, magic countermeasures, spell pre-reading, these are all important bases to evaluate the strength and weakness of a magician."
Cesar froze for a moment, then asked rhetorically, "So what?"
"Although you and I are both at the early stage of the third level of magic power, I admit that I am inferior to you in terms of practical combat ability, and I am also inferior to you in terms of theoretical knowledge."
"You, what did you say?" Cesar couldn't believe his ears.
Lin Xiao, actually admitted his weakness in a dignified manner?
"Well, you heard it right, if the duel is just to divide the high and low strength, then, I am willing to pay my respects to you." Lin Xiao indifferently shrugged his shoulders, "Prince Cesar, what other reason do you have to initiate a duel with me now? I've clearly acknowledged your might."
"No, that's not true! This is just an excuse for you to escape." Cesar shook his head vigorously, his gorgeous short blond hair was incomparably bright.
Hearing his roar, Lin Xiao understood that he had begun to waver.
That's right, let's just make him give up completely!
"Cesar, think about it, this duel is too childish, isn't it?"
"Childish? What do you mean?"
"Alas, originally I didn't want to say ......" Lin Xiao said sincerely and persuasively, "Your dream is to become a brave, right? But now, you are initiating a duel with me because of a moment of impulse, is that what a qualified brave should do?"
"Huh?" Cesar was confused.
Yes, Brave is the hero of humanity, would Brave do something so childish? Would he initiate a duel with someone out of a moment of spite?
"Cesar, your enemy should be the evil demon race, it should be the monster demon king who eats people without spitting out bones! But what about now? Now you are turning your anger against me, against your comrades who fought alongside you! I really feel ashamed for you!" Lin Xiao seized the moral high ground and accused Cesar.
But he didn't notice that the corner of the mouth of a certain beautiful girl standing beside him twitched slightly when he said "the monster devil king who eats people without spitting bones".
Airea said yesterday that she hated being called a monster. God knows how the demon lord will wash away the shame he suffered next ......
"Cesar, do you really want to become a brave man? Or, are you merely fighting under the noble banner of becoming a brave and thus satisfying your pathetic vanity!?" In the end, Lin Xiao pointed at Cesar's nose and cursed loudly, "Are you qualified to become a brave man now?"
"What!!!?" Finally, Cesar broke down.
Lin Xiao's last words were like the sharpest sword, piercing his last persistence without mercy.
Yes, do I really want to become a brave ? Is a person as impulsive as me really qualified to be the greatest hero of mankind? Lin Xiao is right, I can't do this, this childish duel shouldn't have happened in the first place ......
Cesar said this to himself in his heart.
He, to give up the duel.
"Lin Xiao, I ...... "Cesar took a deep breath, holding back his heart full of resentment, and prepared to say the line that he would not have been able to say.
It's done! Lin Xiao's heart burst with joy.
In the end, Cesar was still a little kid, not the same as a two-life veteran like him.
Lin Xiao was very satisfied with this result.
The meaningless duel was withdrawn, the storm over the magic test was completely put to rest, and Airea's appearance didn't cause a stir, so Lin Xiao could live a peaceful life again!
Viva la paz! Hooray!
Lin Xiao almost laughed out loud.
No! We can't laugh yet, we have to hold back, but the guys in the way have all disappeared ......
Lin Xiao painfully covered his mouth to keep himself from laughing out.
"Lin Xiao, you are right, I ......"
Yes, come on Cesar Prince, say the words and end this! Lin Xiao was expecting in his heart.
Just as Cesar was about to reach for the medallion on the table, just as he was about to say the words "give up the duel", a clear voice suddenly sounded in his ears.
"Cut, weakling."
Airea's voice was small, but at this moment it was burned into everyone's ears with unmistakable clarity.
"You, what did you say?" Cesar's voice trembled as he looked at the silver-haired girl in disbelief.
Airea's face was expressionless, as if she was telling a trivial matter that she took for granted: "I really don't understand, you are obviously so weak, why do you have the courage to initiate a duel with my master?"
Hearing these words, the back of Lin Xiao's neck was cold and his jaw almost fell to the ground.
Intuition told him that Airea was up to something!
"Hey, hey, hey, stop it! What do you want to do? Don't! Don't disrupt my plan!"
"Master, am I not right?" Airea ignored Lin Xiao's plea and continued to speak with a clear and indifferent voice, "Even if he really dueled, he would have no chance of winning, right? Because, you two are not the same level of magicians at all."
When this statement was made, the whole room was shocked!
Even Rojay, after hearing the last overbearing statement of Airea, was not half angry, but only horrified!
The Goddess of Light was on top, how could she dare to say such words to a mere maid? Is she crazy?
"No chance of winning? Hmph, it looks like I've been underestimated." Cesar smiled coldly.
Alea's words touched his most sensitive nerve, which was his last bottom line as a man.
"Lin Xiao, you are right, the me who initiated a duel with you because of a moment of spite is indeed unworthy of being a brave." Cesar said with a black face, word by word, "But, today I must maintain my dignity!"
He picked up the badge, then slammed it hard on Lin Xiao's face.
"This is not a duel of magicians, but a contest between men! Lin Xiao, you cannot refuse and must meet the battle!"
"I I I I ......"
"Humph, make a fool of yourself. The master will definitely win." Airea said indifferently as she picked up the badge for Lin Xiao.
Lin Xiao felt like he was about to suffocate.
"Airea, you you you you what do you want to want to ......"
"Why?" Airea face expressionless, bending Lin Xiao ear coldly said, "Because, I am a monster demon king who eats people without spitting bones."
"Eh?"
Lin Xiao remembered that yesterday he jokingly said that Airea was a monster that eats people, causing Airea to be furious, and just now he mentioned "eating people" again, trampling on Airea's dignity and reputation as a demon king. Originally pretending to be a maid this matter is very unwilling to cooperate, and now again humiliated, nature can not tolerate, so...The laugh he was holding back just now, he was afraid that he would never be able to laugh again.
"It is the fate that my plan has failed!"
