Daniel Russell, the guardian who was sent to Goletia with Angel. Lilith thought of Angel's self-introduction at the tea party before school started, and secretly regretted that she had forgotten such an important thing. Angel was enrolled with a guardian brother.

"Hehe..." The young man standing against the light had his identity revealed, but he didn't show any panic or guilt. Instead, he laughed, seeming to be very happy. "That's right, Miss Lilith. I've heard my dear cousin mention you many times, and I've always wanted to meet you."

He no longer had those shy and modest puppy-dog eyes. His back, which had shrank a little before, was now straight, like a willow branch that had finally stretched out, standing upright with a sword in hand. However, there was no warmth in his smile.

"I have always admired the glorious history and achievements of the Taylor Knights, and longed to make friends with the Taylor family. Thank you Miss Lilith for giving me this opportunity."

"Angie is spoiled and always wants to show off her eloquence. Her father and grandfather can't do anything about her." Daniel sighed exaggeratedly, seeming to be very helpless with this cousin. "But I told her a long time ago that in the face of absolute power, talking is meaningless. Do you think I'm right, Miss Lilith?" After saying that, he waved behind Lilith and raised his sword to perform a chivalrous knight's salute.

Lilith turned around and saw that Anqi had been not far away. It seemed that she had finally waited for Lilith to turn around. She slowly pulled the corners of her mouth and smiled happily at Lilith.

"Didn't I tell you, Lilith, you're about to be in big trouble." After watching Lilith's embarrassing scenes again and again, Angel felt extremely happy at this moment.

Lilith: ...What sin did I commit to attract such a pair of psychopaths? Do you Russell family get nervous when you hear the name Taylor? Besides...my last name is not Taylor!!

Lilith was filled with a sense of powerlessness, and felt that it was absurd and ridiculous. Was she angry? Of course she was angry. Even though she had kept her distance from Catherine, these noble ladies and gentlemen still could not treat her as a human being. In their eyes, she was just a pawn representing the family, and it was up to them to decide whether to unite or strangle her.

——It’s so disgusting.

"Are you okay, Lilith?" Perhaps because the two of them had been talking for a long time without any action, Teacher Rebecca came over again. Seeing her student being covered in dust and her pretty face being scratched by sand and gravel, she couldn't help but show worry in her eyes.

"Yes, Miss Lilith, if you can't hold on any longer, just take a rest." Daniel returned to his harmless appearance, but from an angle where Teacher Rebecca couldn't see, he gave Lilith a somewhat sarcastic smile.

"...I'm fine, teacher." Lilith felt a fire burning in her heart. It seemed that the road she had imagined of lying flat was doomed to fail. She looked into Daniel's eyes and said, "Let's continue."

She is not convinced.

Daniel was even happier, "As you wish, Miss Lilith."

Rebecca was speechless and retreated to the sidelines again.

Teacher Wolfe was so bored that she started braiding the grass. Seeing Rebecca's worried look, she tried to comfort her, "This is just the beginning, Rebecca. If you don't want them to come back with one eye missing like me, then relax a little. A little hardship is nothing. I think that little girl is pretty good. I bet she'll be the one who improves the fastest."

Rebecca rolled her eyes fiercely. "Of course you don't feel bad for them because they are not your students. Your student is obviously not a novice and should be from a swordsman family. I just hope that they can learn to use shields flexibly to resist attacks, not to let them get beaten. Why did you pick such a powerful student?"

"Haha, who was the one who said to kick their butts hard? Besides, I didn't even dare to bring the most powerful kids here—" Teacher Wolfe suddenly stopped talking and looked at the field in surprise.

Lilith's spellcasting speed was getting faster and faster. Under Daniel's aggressive attack rhythm, she could even seize the opportunity to cast spells continuously, continuously condensing a shield to block Daniel's attack. She also learned to change the shape of the shield without any instruction, changing the spherical shape into a single-sided one, increasing the thickness of the shield. The number of times she was knocked away by Daniel was getting less and less. But -

This is really frustrating. Is it just a matter of hiding forever?

Lilith bit her cheek hard, and the smell of rust made her try to stay awake. She felt like she had fallen into a glacier, her whole body was cold and trembling, and there were always double images in front of her eyes. She understood that this situation was the symptom of the bottom of the mental power mentioned by Teacher Luna.

But she didn't want to stop. She couldn't ask for a rest when she saw Daniel's smile that was full of daggers. She just didn't want to admit defeat to such a person!

Anger seemed to stimulate people's potential. Daniel failed to break Lilith's defense after several consecutive strikes. He looked at Lilith's embarrassed face, sneered, swung his sword to throw away his scabbard, and attacked again.

Even though the blade was not sharpened yet, the sword still pierced through the shield. Lilith's eyes almost flashed with white light, and she was dizzy and unable to see. She raised her hand and tried to condense the last shield.

The grass rippled without any wind, and the tree that Teacher Wolf leaned on also swayed its branches towards the playground. It was as if a wormhole appeared in the playground, sucking in all the wood elements nearby. Lilith's shield this time was no longer a transparent bubble that appeared out of thin air, but dark branches that rose from the ground, growing at the speed of light and entwining in front of her, as if a huge tree root had risen from the ground and blocked Lilith's way.

"Haha, just an acrobatics." Daniel smiled arrogantly. How could a sharp blade be afraid of dead wood? He continued to stab Lilith without any effort. As he expected, the sword pierced through the wooden shield, but the shield did not break and disappear like before. Instead, thin branches stretched out and wrapped around the hilt. When the sword reached Lilith, it was finally tightly wrapped.

It's now!

Lilith seized the opportunity to bypass the wooden shield and kicked Daniel's knee. When Daniel failed to dodge and lost his balance, she grabbed his upper arm. She bent her knees and exerted force at the waist, throwing Daniel over her shoulder fiercely, splashing a cloud of dust.

"Ha!" Lilith let out a short laugh and wiped the blood from her nose due to the exhaustion of her magic power.

I've been wanting to do this for a long time, you bastard!
