As a villain, I really don't want to be pursued by the heroine.

The already beautiful morning of going to school with the master was made even more beautiful by this compliment.

Roy took Alice, Chocolate, and Vanilla and walked across the street to the center of the academy.

At some point, the scenery in the distance began to blur.

When I came to my senses, the streets around me were spread out like canvas, as if they were dyed with some kind of watercolor dye.

Then, fresh air and noise blew in.

When everyone looked up again, they were all shocked by the magnificent sight.

The vast and mysterious campus stretches into the distance, nestled between lush forests and majestic mountains. Towering towers and ancient magical buildings left over from the Second Age dot the campus.

The interior of the academy is equally breathtaking. A massive magical crystal towers in the center of the hall, radiating a brilliant light that illuminates the exquisite sculptures and ornate murals surrounding it. Magical runes and incantations adorn the walls and ceiling, imbuing the space with a solemnity and mystery.

Countless freshmen looked around at the scenery in the college, and everyone's face was full of impatience.

But there were also people, like Roy, who came to their senses after the initial astonishment and looked around at the classmates around them.

Transcendents are rare. In the military, even a Sequence 9 Transcendent is qualified to serve as a centurion, and among adventurers, Sequence 9 is considered to be quite famous.

Such a grand occasion of thousands of extraordinary people gathering together is a rare sight for any freshman.

But unlike them, Roy looked around not because it was new to him, but to be on guard against the original heroine, the girl of destiny, who might take his life.

The most dangerous one didn't come. The most terrifying one didn't come. The most troublesome one... I'm so tired!

Roy quickly looked away after catching a glimpse of an inch of green hair flashing in the distance.

Fortunately, the other party didn't notice her. When she looked over again, Nia Jasmine had already become friends with several passers-by, and they were walking away laughing.

This scene is pretty much the same as in the original.

In the original work, Alice would meet the corresponding girl of destiny upon enrollment. However, only Nia Jasmine would make her presence felt as frequently as she does now.

But in the end, she did not take the initiative to run over and greet Alice like Nia did in the original story, which means that her actions were effective!

"Dear fellow students, please follow me!"

At the call of seniors, the freshmen came to the auditorium and took their seats in an orderly manner.

The dean and teachers sat on the stage, and below the stage was a huge, suspended transparent magic crystal.

This magic crystal will produce illusions due to the power of blood, showing extraordinary levels. The higher the extraordinary level, the stronger the illusion light.

Every new student will be tested here.

The age restriction for admission to magic academies is actually very loose, but the nobles generally set 18 years old as the admission standard.

The magic academy welcomes anyone who is a supernatural being under the age of 20.

Generally speaking, the children of nobles and those with experience as adventurers would be at a higher level, but most of them would be stuck at Sequence 9, either just entering Sequence 9 or reaching the peak of Sequence 9.

One by one, the students placed their hands on the magic crystal. Sensing the fluctuations of their bloodline, the crystal emitted a faint glow. Even a peak Sequence 9 would only increase the brightness slightly, not even filling the entire crystal.

There is only one Sequence 8 among about ten people.

At Sequence 8, the crystal will begin to faintly reveal illusions.

Maybe it's a fox, a wildebeest, or some kind of blue grass - that's the origin of their bloodline.

Every time a Sequence 8 appeared, there would be a small exclamation among the students, and then they would look at each other with admiration and yearning.

Soon, it was Roy's turn to play.

"Isn't that guy a 'famous' bad boy? How can he still come to school?"

"Humph, it's good to have a good father. At least he inherited some of his bloodline."

Due to the limitations of the times, the flow of news in Vizseya was seriously delayed. Roy had a bad reputation, but his recent achievements were not widely spread.

But he didn't care either.

The moment he placed his hand on the crystal, a blood-red sword and shield emerged, as dazzling as a scarlet morning star.

"Sequence 8, [Iron Blood]!"

When he returned to his seat, Roy clearly felt that the contemptuous and disdainful looks from those around him had decreased a lot.

But he didn't really care.

Because the real protagonist of this test is Alice.

Chapter 18 Ruby

In the original work, the "evil boy Roy" made a big fool of himself during the entrance examination because his bloodline power was too humble, and he became a stepping stone for Alice.

When Roy learned from the notes that the magic crystal had no reaction to the bloodline of the [Fake King], he was quite worried about what to do if he made a fool of himself like in the original work.

However, Roy is now Sequence 8, completely eliminating that possibility.

Of course, even if he reached Sequence 8, it didn't mean that the prejudice and malice towards him would disappear.

As the son of the Marquis of the Lionheart Kingdom, his status was originally second only to the royal family. In addition, his identity as a sworn knight would be revealed sooner or later, so it was impossible for him to keep a low profile.

He only cleared his bad reputation within the kingdom, but foreigners still had the impression of him as a "good-for-nothing young villain."

But unlike when he was in the kingdom and needed to improve Charlotte's impression, these guys can't affect the other original heroines, so Roy is too lazy to pay attention to them now.

Roy was more concerned about Alice's performance than himself.

In the original work, Alice had not yet awakened her extraordinary bloodline during the test, so she was ridiculed in public by the "evil young Roy". She felt extremely inferior and was suppressed to the point of almost suffocating. This is one of the most blood-pressure-raising scenes in "Angel Rondo".

But the little maid at the moment raised her little fist, full of energy.

"Master, please look after Alice."

"Well, do your best, don't be nervous, just do your best." Roy was afraid that the little maid was a little nervous, so he spoke to comfort her.

But to Alice, this was encouragement from her master.

Do my best = try my best.

As the master's maid, you must always show your best side!

Alice walked out of the crowd and headed towards the magic crystal.

The moment the girl stepped onto the stage, she attracted countless eyes.

Her radiant, flowing golden hair, clear, pure blue eyes, petite, graceful figure, smooth, fair skin, and flawless face were all the goddess's most perfect creations. All of this combined to create a dreamy, golden silhouette that resembled an iris swaying in the morning light, elegant and hazy, almost fairy-like.

Unfortunately, there was no expression on that gentle face, which seemed a little cold and indifferent, as if the boring world could not move her at all.

But this also makes the girl more holy and detached from the world, which makes people admire her unconsciously.

If that were all, she would be just a cold and elegant girl.

But the moment Alice placed her white palm on the magic crystal, a majestic holy light gushed out.

The holy light was like a drifting white mist, or a leaping flame. It seemed to have consciousness, bowing before Alice, and then transformed into a pair of illusory and hazy wings.

The freshmen could not stop exclaiming in amazement at this dreamy and beautiful scene. Even the seniors were dumbfounded and couldn't believe it.

The teachers sitting high up on the podium couldn't help but talk about it. Even the over a hundred-year-old man, the powerful magician, the Dean Booker, known as the "Magic Emperor", had a rare flash of surprise in his eyes.

[Holy Light] and its related derivative bloodlines are extremely rare in the Western Continent, and most of them have been absorbed by the church.

There are so few people scattered around like this, with such high blood purity, and reaching Sequence 8 at such a young age.

Of course, most students didn't understand what Sequence 8 [Holy Light] meant, and were more focused on Alice's outstanding talent and appearance.

Especially when the fantasy of the holy wings slowly scattered into pieces, the blonde girl bathed in the falling feathers of light looked as beautiful as a real angel who had fallen into the mortal world.

I don’t know how many boys who are just beginning to fall in love have their first love since then.

Even Nia in the corner was distracted by the scene and couldn't help but murmur in a daze.

“Such a cute child…”

After finishing the entrance examination, the girl breathed a sigh of relief, turned around, and returned to the crowd.

Alice raised her head and looked towards a corner of the crowd.

The originally cold face suddenly melted away, emitting a faint warmth and softness, which touched the hearts of countless young men.

"She's looking at me!"

"Bullshit, you're obviously looking at me!"

"Can you please move aside? You're blocking her from seeing me!"

Many people had begun to inquire about each other's identity, and when they learned that Alice did not seem to be a noble, the commotion among the freshmen intensified.

Most of the nobles were engaged when they reached adulthood. In addition, due to the gap in their status, most of the beauties were already taken and difficult to pursue.

But that blonde girl isn't a noble, doesn't that mean everyone has a chance?!

Unfortunately, just as their beautiful ideas emerged, they found that Alice passed by them one after another, ruthlessly shattering their fantasies.

The blonde figure disappeared into the crowd again, leaving the new business still unfinished.

As soon as she returned to Roy, Alice couldn't wait to seek his approval: "Master, how did Alice perform?"

Compared to other people's opinions, what Alice really values ​​is Roy's recognition.

"Very good." Roy nodded with satisfaction.

To be honest, in the original work, Alice was not even a transcendent when she entered school. Although the holy light was amazing, it was far less exaggerated than it is now.

Seeing that Alice received the recognition and love of the whole audience and did not suffer the grievances in the original work, Roy breathed a sigh of relief. He felt that his training plan was not in vain. He was happier than when he himself was respected.

The blonde girl, delighted by the praise, unconsciously slid closer to Roy, like a little cotton-padded jacket. Quietly immersing herself in Roy's presence, her delicate feet in small leather shoes swayed lightly under the seat.

Alice was so petite that she disappeared as soon as she sat down.

The scene of holy light lingering and light feathers falling just now seemed like an illusory dream.

The freshmen couldn't find the blond figure no matter how hard they tried, and their moods were all at rock bottom.

But soon, as the test was over, a gorgeous figure shining like fire rekindled their passion.

On the podium, her fiery red hair dancing in the wind, her slender legs in black silk, were a breathtaking sight. The girl, commandingly high above, looked down with a dignified and proud expression, like a lion king patrolling his territory, imposing without anger, yet as gorgeous as a ruby ​​high in the mountains, drawing willing submission.

Just standing at the podium, before she even opened her mouth, she exuded a strong presence like a brilliant firework in the darkness.

That was none other than Her Royal Highness the Princess of the Lionheart Kingdom, this year's freshman representative, Charlotte Reinhardt.

The young man who just broke up with his love immediately found his next crush.

"[Lion Flame Princess], she's just as lovely as the rumors say!"

"Being in the same class as Her Highness the Princess, this whole schooling is truly worthwhile!"

"Wait, you foreigners, stop trying to get close to our princess!"

"No, I will betray my country from now on! I will be Her Majesty the Princess's dog!"

[Ruby of the Lionheart Kingdom] has been famous for a long time, especially among the nobles, and its popularity is even more exaggerated than Alice.

Chapter 19 I'm not targeting anyone

"My fellow students, let us join hands and embark on our journey at the Magic Academy, inheriting the will of our predecessors and creating new legends..."

Charlotte's speech was passionate and full of a sense of responsibility and mission to inherit the legacy of the martyrs of the Third Age.

Unfortunately, most of the freshmen in the audience were just staring at her face.

After all, times have changed.

The theme of today's era is peace and development. There is not so much pressure. Instead of working hard to become a strong person, most freshmen think about how to enjoy this precious youth.

To enjoy youth, wonderful encounters are essential. And the most worthwhile encounter among the freshmen is, of course, the princess on the stage.

After the opening ceremony, many people took the initiative to gather around Charlotte and try to get close to her.

But before that, the nobles from the Lionheart Kingdom, along with their confidants, spontaneously formed a human wall to keep them out.

As a noble of the Lionheart Kingdom, he does have some vision and insight.

This caused dissatisfaction among other freshmen.

"Hey, we're all classmates, what's the big deal?"

"Yes, we just want to get to know His Highness Reinhardt!"
