Big Capitalist

Alicia was helpless at the moment, and secretly complained: This is not a bullshit competition, it's just a personal show of your Arcane Academy.

The second-year students were already so powerful that they crushed the elites of World Tree Academy without any chance of fighting back. If the third-year students came on the field, wouldn't it be even more terrifying? They would be beaten to pieces without leaving any residue.

Thinking of this, a hint of bitterness appeared at the corners of her mouth.

Alicia forced a somewhat forced smile and looked at Merlin, her tone revealing a bit of weakness: "Sir Merlin, today I have truly witnessed the style of the Arcane Academy. Let's stop here for this competition."

After saying this, she bowed slightly and saluted, her posture full of loneliness.

Merlin felt relieved when he saw this, and quickly responded, "Okay then."

He secretly breathed a sigh of relief, glad that the competition did not continue.

After all, among the third-year students from the Arcane Academy, only Yuna and Lilia are presentable, and the rest are mostly playboys who got here by relying on their status. They neglect practice on weekdays, and their strength is really worrying. Maybe they are even worse than the second-year students. If they really want to continue competing, I am afraid that more jokes will be made.

Alicia sighed softly, but she was an important figure in the elves after all, so she quickly adjusted her state.

She turned gracefully, facing the guests present, cleared her throat, and said in a voice as sweet as a nightingale: "Everyone, this competition ends here. Thank you all for your support today. We are honored to see the heroic figures of students from both colleges."

Her words were appropriate and a faint smile appeared on her face again, but only she knew how much resentment was hidden behind that smile.

The guests nodded and responded with smiles on their faces: "Thank you to everyone from Arcane Academy and the students from World Tree Academy for allowing us to see such a wonderful scene and truly see the style of both academies. It is really worth the trip!"

The crowd's praises rose one after another, echoing throughout the banquet.

Alicia felt even more upset when she heard these people say this.

She gritted her teeth secretly: the limelight went entirely to the people of the Arcane Academy. The students of their World Tree Academy had been getting beaten from the beginning till now, and had simply become their foil.

Oh, no, the only win was due to attribute restraint and class suppression. It wasn’t glorious at all. It would be better not to win!

Thinking of this, she felt suffocated.

After the banquet, the noise and bustle gradually faded away and everyone returned to their arranged residences.

The moonlight was like water, sprinkling on the back garden of the imperial palace, covering this quiet garden with a layer of silver gauze.

Merlin stood in the garden, surrounded by Arthur, Chris, Scarlett, Stacy, Una and others, all of whom were excitedly chatting about what had happened today.

Chris crossed her arms and said indignantly, "Those elves are so arrogant. They are usually treated very highly by the elves, and they have become spoiled and arrogant. I beat them up today, and I finally let out some anger. I feel much better now."

Her face was filled with a hearty smile, and she was obviously still immersed in the joy of the day's victory.

Scarlett nodded repeatedly and agreed, "That's right, the worst thing is that they bullied Stacy. They are all of royal elven blood, but just because Stacy is half-elf, they insulted her in various ways. If it were me, I would be so aggrieved." As she spoke, she looked at Stacy with heartache.

Hearing this, Stacie quickly waved her hands and forced a smile on her face: "I'm fine, really."

She lowered her head slightly and said softly, "Actually, I've gotten used to it over the years, but today I was told that in front of my friends..."

When she said this, her eyes became slightly red, and she was unable to completely conceal the grievance in her heart.

Yuna rolled her eyes, and like a clever little fox, she pushed aside Scarlett and Arthur and moved closer to Merlin.

With a sly smile on her face, she teased, "Merlin is really amazing. You looked so handsome today when you beat up those elves and stood up for Stacy."

There was a hint of teasing in her eyes, deliberately teasing Merlin.

Merlin sneered, a hint of coldness flashing in his eyes: "Those stupid elves dared to bully my people, how can I let them have an easy time?"

His voice was low, but it was filled with unquestionable firmness, which warmed everyone's hearts.

When Stacy heard Merlin say this, her face instantly turned red like a ripe apple.

Seeing this, Yuna's eyes flashed with envy, and she sighed, "I envy Staci so much."

Then, she reached out her hand, gently pulled Merlin's tie, and said in a teasing tone: "If I were the one being bullied, would you stand up for yourself like this, Merlin?"

She tilted her head, looking at Merlin with sparkling eyes and a faint smile on her lips.

"You are the princess of the Star Empire and the ruler of the Royal Chamber of Commerce. Who can bully you?" Merlin helplessly patted the back of Yuna's dishonest hand and joked with a smile.

Yuna was very dissatisfied with Merlin's answer. She puffed her lips, pretending to be angry, and asked again: "I don't care, just tell me whether you can do it or not."

Merlin felt amused when he saw her like this, and quickly comforted her: "I will definitely stand up for Yuna, is that okay?"

Hearing this, Yuna smiled with satisfaction, like a cat that had stolen some fish.

Merlin paused, his expression turned serious, and he slowly said, "However, we absolutely cannot let this matter go. Those elves are so arrogant, we must teach them a lesson."

There was a cunning gleam in his eyes, making it hard to read.

Everyone present looked at Merlin curiously, without blinking, wanting to know what he was going to do.

Merlin chuckled, with a hint of mystery in his smile, and whispered, "I plan to empty their gold coins!"

"Uh? Empty the elves' gold coins?"

Chris' eyes widened slightly, full of surprise and novelty, and she was the first to speak to break the silence, "You are really worthy of me. Your idea is different from others. But, how do you plan to do it?"

Upon hearing this, everyone nodded, with curiosity and anticipation glittering in their eyes. They gathered around Merlin, eager to know the follow-up plan.

"You will know tomorrow. Have a good rest today. There are still three days until the Pope of the Moon Temple is crowned. Three days is enough!" Merlin said confidently.

The next morning, as the dawn broke, soft light filtered through the thin clouds and fell on the Elf Forest, giving this mysterious land a golden glow.

There are still three days until the coronation of the Pope of the Moon Temple, and the entire Elf Forest is immersed in a solemn atmosphere.
