The beautiful mage was kidnapped by the contracted beast again

I chose one of three and I drew the Fire Courtyard.

When Jiang Liujing was leaving the court, he passed by Ignatius from the Fire Academy. He didn't take the initiative to say hello, but this Fire Academy representative, who was much calmer than Vita, stopped him and said, "Wait."

Jiang Liujing paused and looked at him, wondering what he wanted.

He and Ignatius had never met before. This strange representative of the Fire Academy looked very ordinary in both height and appearance, the kind that would be impossible to detect in a crowd.

But he has a good reputation outside. After he became the representative, there has been no news of new students from the Fire Academy causing trouble.

Whether it was to avoid the spotlight or simply because they didn't like to stir up trouble, it at least showed that this person had a lot of influence among the students in their own academy. And being able to have a say in a place like the Fire Academy meant that this person had sufficient strength.

Ignatius said, "I heard that you and the Wind Academy representative are from the same dormitory. You saw how the Wind Academy people were beaten. It's difficult for us Fire Elements to control the killing power. They insisted on fighting and ended up suffering serious injuries. Only half of the team can play in the afternoon match. If the result is decided tomorrow, I hope you can admit defeat as soon as possible."

His words implicitly implied that Shuiyuan couldn't defeat them. Jiang Liujing didn't get angry after hearing this, and said calmly, "Is that what you came here to say?"

Ignatius shook his head and took a step forward. Although he was not very tall, he still felt oppressive when standing in front of Jiang Liujing.

"We haven't formally apologized to you for Vita's matter. He has caused you trouble. I'm sorry."

"Forget about apologizing on his behalf. I didn't suffer any harm from this, and I wasn't the loser in the end." Jiang Liujing said matter-of-factly.

Ignatius smiled. "Really? That's good. Because after that incident, the relationship between our two houses seemed to have deteriorated significantly. I personally don't want to see such a scene."

Jiang Liujing glanced at him, not understanding what his intention was in saying such words that sounded like a request for peace.

"Once we defeat you, what happened that day will be written off. We don't have the time to keep harassing you."

"..."

"Is there anything else? If not, I'll leave first. My classmates are still waiting for me." Jiang Liujing said.

Ignatius glanced behind him. During their conversation, representatives from other houses had already returned to their own teams, so the two of them standing there seemed very awkward.

The people from the Water Academy had obviously noticed this place and were trying to get up and move closer, but were stopped by the teacher in charge.

Although the people from the Fire Academy also noticed it, no one showed any intention of coming over. They just looked over here curiously, not knowing what their representative was saying to others.

The only one who showed any intention to stand up was Vita, but Ignatius could tell from his dark face that he was not doing so out of any concern for him. To be honest, he was more likely to be concerned about the people next to him.

Ignatius suddenly felt a little nervous.

The difference in treatment between them made him wonder if he had offended the people in his own courtyard. Why were they surrounded by people when they were representatives, but when it was his turn, these people acted as if they wanted him to die.

"It's okay." Ignatius said slowly.

He looked at Jiang Liujing deeply and took a step back. "No matter what, I hope we can get along well. Today's opponents may become tomorrow's partners, right?"

Jiang Liujing didn't reply, turned around and walked back to his class.

The first thing he saw was Chi, who was sitting there calmly and naturally, and looked out of tune with the others. He looked so composed, as if he had been a member of the Water Courtyard from the beginning.

Before he could say a word, his classmates surrounded him with indignation on their faces and asked him if the representative from the Fire Academy had stopped him to cause trouble.

Is this asking for trouble?

Jiang Liujing thought for a moment and shook his head, "He hopes that our two academies can build a good relationship."

As soon as these words came out, not only the students in the Water Academy, but even the teacher had a look of disgust on his face.

The students of the Fire Academy are generally irritable and love to fight, so they have always been regarded as substitutes for the magic warriors in the Magician Academy. They have a bad relationship with the Water Academy and an average relationship with other academies.

"Is he serious? Isn't he trying to trick us into letting our guard down?" someone asked doubtfully.

There are many people who think the same as him. After all, every year there are people who use various methods to deliberately interfere with their opponents. Ignatius's words are not enough to change the relationship between the two houses, but they can really disgust them.

Jiang Liujing recalled his expression and tone when he spoke, and said uncertainly: "He seems quite serious. But I think this is probably just his opinion, and it doesn't represent the entire Fire Academy."

At least now and then, there are still unfriendly glances from the Fire Academy, and the source is naturally the freshmen of the Fire Academy.

They also lost face this year because of the Water Academy. With the active performance of the Water Academy in the morning, things that had been forgotten were mentioned again and again. It is conceivable that after the results of today's draw come out, how many people will be waiting for their results tomorrow as if for fun.

However, the Fire Academy freshmen clearly didn't think they would lose. Apart from anything else, the advantage of being the most populous academy was simply there; they could easily outmaneuver the Water Academy's freshmen with two or three men against one.

Teacher Luisa said, "Alright, no matter what they think, we have to play well in tomorrow's game. Get some rest when you go back today. Anyone who dares to be late for the game tomorrow will be hung at the entrance of the water courtyard for everyone to come and see."

The noisy crowd fell silent in an instant.

How should I put it? This is exactly what Luisa is like.

Beneath the delicate and beautiful appearance of elegance lay a completely opposite, powerful and violent aura. The thought of facing their teacher's murderous gaze upon their return if they lost suddenly intensified everyone's relaxed mood after their victory that morning.

After the meeting, everyone went home. Jiang Liujing was still chatting with Chi when he suddenly heard a familiar voice behind him.

He turned around and saw his three roommates walking towards them.

"Let's go, Xiaojing, let's go back together." Mo Ya's face was in high spirits, and it was obvious that he was very happy to win two games in a row in the afternoon.

Chu Zhou, on the other side, looked more normal, though not as downcast as he had been at noon. Wen Xun stood not far from him, and it was unclear whether they had reconciled.

Jiang Liujing looked at Chu Zhou strangely: "You don't even go to the cafeteria to buy food now?"

Chu Zhou shook his head, and Wen Xun said, "The students in our school will buy it and send it over."

He was obviously very proud of being the college representative. He glanced at Jiang Liujing and then at Chi, and said provocatively, "If you want to bring food, you can ask for it."

Chi said coldly: "No need."

Wen Xun was not surprised by his rejection. He only felt regret for a second before turning to Jiang Liujing and saying, "You don't want it either?"

Jiang Liujing blinked: "I still prefer eating the food cooked by Chi."

Although the cafeteria also had dishes he liked, most of them were local dishes from the Dawn Empire, and the cooking methods and taste were different from the ones he was used to from his grandfather.

Chi Wan learned everything from Xing Yue. He didn't care about any innovation and just completely replicated the taste that Jiang Liujing was familiar with.

Wen Xun said "oh" in disappointment, not knowing what he was disappointed about.

Chu Zhou walked away speechlessly, looking as if he didn't want to stand with him: "I told you you can't pretend."
