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

Recalling the letter, the two girls looked at each other again, their hostility diminished, their sympathy and sarcasm increased, and they thought in unison—

This guy, doesn't he realize that he is about to be eliminated?

Wait a minute, when Roy comes and takes the initiative to come to your side, let's see how you cry!

Thinking of this, Princess Lionheart raised the corners of her mouth in joy, and Miss Nightingale couldn't help laughing, and she couldn't wait for the arrival of the black-haired boy.

At the same time, discussions about the two people were also spreading.

It's not just because of their extraordinary beauty, but also because they dressed up and came alone, which violated the unspoken rules of the academy.

"These two don't have male companions, so don't we have a chance?"

"Fool, do you also want to be humiliated by Princess Lionheart in front of so many people?"

"It's not impossible!"

"???"

"Ahem, Her Royal Highness, let's not talk about that for now. The Nightingale of the Emerald Court might have a chance!"

"No, I heard that Miss Nightingale seems to have a boyfriend. And the boyfriend is that..."

Before the man could finish his words, a commotion broke out among the crowd.

To be precise, it was the two girls who were the focus of attention who took action.

Charlotte and Nia simultaneously caught a glimpse of the black-haired boy in the distance, their eyes lit up, and they rushed towards each other impatiently, so that people naturally followed suit and looked over.

"It's him, Roy Ironblad!"

"That scumbag?"

"No, he saved me during the trial and even stood up to the cult's priests alone. How could such a person be a villain?!"

"So, that means he's a complete scumbag?!"

There was jealousy and envy in the eyes looking at the black-haired boy, but also a lot of admiration and gratitude, and even a sense of understanding.

After one semester, it was almost common knowledge that Roy was Charlotte's sworn knight, and the news that he and Nia co-created the trial was no longer a secret.

There must be some story between them.

But no one expected that two young girls of noble status would be willing to appear in public at the same time as her female companions.

Even a two-timing scumbag would do it secretly. How could he be so open and aboveboard?! Aren't you afraid of being chopped off?!

Thinking of this, everyone even had a little respect for Roy.

But in truth, Roy was afraid.

Seeing two girls in gorgeous attire coming straight towards him, he almost fainted on the spot.

Didn't I tell you to keep a low profile and restrain yourself at the dinner? What are you doing?!

Chapter 137 Thank you, Dean, for saving my life

Roy came this time in school uniform and had no intention of traveling with anyone. He didn't even bring Alice with him, letting her attend the dinner on her own, keeping a low profile.

After all, he had already used Alice as a shield before, and using the same tactic again would risk drawing fire back at Alice. It would be a grave injustice if they misunderstood him as favoring the little maid.

The letter explicitly asked them to be patient for the time being, to remember their identities, and not to embarrass each other. It also suggested that they calm down a bit and keep their distance.

Roy expected that the best case scenario would be for them to wait patiently, but they might also be unhappy or give him the cold shoulder. In short, they would remain in a cold war and wait and see state.

But why are these two so excited, each one more excited than the other, as if they're totally trying to compete with each other?!

Just as the two beautiful girls were about to pounce on him, an old man in a wizard's robe appeared in front of Roy with his back to them.

"Roy, would you mind chatting with me for a while?"

The great magician, [Sage] Booker.

The two girls paused, their faces frozen.

In front of this highly respected old senior, even they could not disturb him.

Roy felt that the old man in front of him had never been so friendly, and quickly responded: "Of course I don't mind!"

Thank you, Dean, for saving my life!

With the dean acting as a shield, Roy was finally able to escape from the two girls and come to a secluded corner.

The dean snapped his fingers, and the surrounding space seemed to sink to the bottom of the water. The originally bright lights dimmed, and the rising and falling noise became blurred.

A barrier, and it was not created by any extraordinary props, but a barrier cast by him personally!

Although this barrier is much weaker than [Elemental Barrier·Remnant] and [Fallen Forest], the only person in the world who can cast it so casually is the [Sage] who possesses [One Thought, One Formation].

Roy was slightly startled, but not too surprised.

As the top extraordinary person in Vizzea and a hero who has experienced the demonic tide, it is natural for him to have this ability.

The white-haired old man looked over, kind and gentle. "First of all, I would like to congratulate you on successfully defeating the priest of All Things Withering and achieving the top four of the Blue Trial as you wished."

"Now, Janetia will probably agree to Nia staying in the academy."

"Thank you, Dean." Roy replied calmly.

"You don't seem as happy as I thought." The old man was a little confused.

"The ability of [Withering of All Things] is very tricky, and you are well prepared this time. Even Rowling back then could not have done better than you." The old man's voice was filled with a wonderful warmth and undisguised admiration.

Roy didn't hate [Sage] Booker, nor did he hate his warm gaze.

But in this case, he couldn't be happy.

"Dean, can I ask you a question?"

"Oh?"

"Why was the mighty [Death of All Things] able to break into the trial site?" Roy looked directly into the old man's deep eyes and asked in a deep voice.

The old man's smile faded slightly, his face remained calm, and his gaze changed from admiration for the younger generation to a serious scrutiny.

"It seems you've already noticed something." His voice was neither happy nor sad.

"They were able to sneak into the trial site ahead of time to set up an ambush, create a barrier of that scale, and even gather the power of the evil god to summon his offspring..." Roy paused, then said solemnly, "There must be someone inside the academy who's working with them."

Roy originally thought that the academy and even the city were safe, but now it seems that the evil god's minions have already penetrated deeply into them.

No wonder in the original work, "Evil Young Roy" would be involved with the cult no matter which route he was in. It seems that this place itself has many hidden dangers of cults.

"Angel Rondo" seems to be just a game for girls to fall in love, but the more Roy lives in this world, the more he feels that this world is like a bottomless ocean. It seems calm on the surface, but countless crises are lurking in secret.

The previous assassination by the [Evil Dragon Society] and the attack by [Withering of All Things] have profoundly proved this point.

But the old man sighed softly, showing a hint of helplessness.

"Yes."

"It's not just the academy; the Magicians' Association has been infiltrated as well. The reason why [All Things Wither] was able to sneak in this time was probably because of the collusion between the two factions."

"Although I knew they had sneaked in, I never imagined they would pull off such a stunt. I'm truly ashamed to have put you young people in danger this time."

Is there a traitor not only in the academy but also in the Magicians' Association? Roy felt terrified.

Vizzea has not been ravaged by war for eighteen years, yet there are so many hidden dangers in the dark.

Thinking of this, Roy couldn't help but frowned deeply.

When he stared at me again, Booker's expression became serious.

"Your bloodline is very special and more dangerous than others. Although I have suppressed the news, it is only a matter of time before other cultists learn that the blood of the false king is in this academy."

As he spoke, the old man waved his hand and drew a simple magic circle towards Roy.

The panel then lit up.

[Sage's Mist]: Congratulations on obtaining the simple barrier drawn by the sage. Your true bloodline aura will be concealed to the maximum extent. Unless you actively activate your divine power, mid-sequence and lower extraordinary people and cultists will not be able to detect your bloodline aura!

"This thing can protect you for a while, but if you use all your strength, you will still be exposed."

"Thank you, Dean!" Roy was delighted and nodded slightly.

Unlike the [Evil Dragon Society], the [Withering of All Things] this time seemed unable to see through his identity as the Pseudo King's Blood at the first time, but no one can guarantee that the next evil society will not come straight for him like the [Evil Dragon Society].

With the Dean's barrier, at least he wouldn't have to worry about being attacked first by the cult.

"Haha, your mother and I were once master and apprentice, and you are now my student. This little thing is not worth mentioning."

"But as I just said, there are cultists hiding in the academy, so we need to be extra careful about everything."

Roy nodded slightly and asked worriedly, "Is there anything I can help with?"

It’s not that Roy has a strong sense of justice, but the thought that there are bastards hiding in the academy who helped the cultists sneak in really makes him unable to sleep or eat.

But Booker shook his head slightly and smiled softly: "Don't worry, with me here to take charge, at least they won't dare to stir up any trouble in the academy."

"Adult matters should be handled by adults. It's good that you're willing to help, but young people should focus on improving their strength."

"Especially since your bloodline is powerful, it also has many hidden dangers. Now is not the time to confront those cultists head-on." The old man's expression became a little complicated.

In Booker's long life, Roy is not the only extraordinary person with the blood of the [Pseudo-King], but he is the one who awakened the earliest, has the strongest power, but also has the greatest side effects.

It can be said that she is second only to Rowling eighteen years ago.

While transcendents possess power, they also bear responsibilities far beyond those of ordinary people. This statement is almost infinitely magnified for the heirs of the [False King]'s bloodline.

Even Booker couldn't tell whether this outstanding talent was a good thing or a bad thing.

Roy didn't ask any further questions.

Just as the other party said, now is not the time to settle accounts with the cultists. Improving strength is the key.

"Okay, let's stop here for now."

The old man glanced into the distance and saw two girls pacing back and forth, anxiously looking for them.

Although Rowling had a few good friends at the time, she always kept to herself most of the time, and especially liked to face crises alone, as if there was a barrier from another world.

In this regard, Roy, who is willing to seek help from others, is completely different from Rowling, which makes Booker very pleased.

A person's power is always limited, but unfortunately Rowling realized this too late.

Both Charlotte and Nia are extremely talented, and they and Roy have shared life and death experiences. It is rare for the three of them to get together, so they will surely have a pleasant chat.

"I won't bother you young people anymore."

"Hey? Wait, wait a minute......"

Booker thought he was being tactful and turned around and retreated, disappearing into the crowd like mist.

At the same time, the barrier collapsed, and the bewildered Roy was suddenly exposed in front of the two girls again.

Like a sheep caught between two wolves.

Chapter 138: Old man, you cheated me!

Old man, you cheated me!

Roy cursed inwardly and didn't bother to think about Booker's deceptive behavior anymore.

Because two beautiful girls have arrived.

Roy reflexively put on a humble smile and an admiring look: "You two are really dressed up today."

Charlotte maintained her composure and snorted indifferently, seemingly indifferent, but in fact the corners of her mouth were slightly raised.

"It's okay." Charlotte glanced at Roy and said with a hint of disappointment: "Why didn't you come in a dress?"

Before Roy could speak, the elf girl beside him smiled sweetly at him: "It doesn't matter, the school uniform is pretty cool too."

"Well, they say clothes make the man, but I think Roy looks handsome in anything he wears!"

Such a direct shot caught the young man off guard, and his eyes naturally fell on the elf girl.

Charlotte's eyes twitched and she almost got angry.

With this green tea girl causing trouble, she can no longer remain reserved and must take the initiative!

"Roy, how about this dress?"

"Didn't I say she was beautiful?"
