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

"Haha, you're quite humorous, junior." Jason's tone suddenly became meaningful. "This is a rare opportunity, let's chat together."

Although they had different temperaments, both the black-haired and blue-haired boys had handsome faces, which secretly excited the goddesses around them.

But Roy was not in such a relaxed mood.

He could sense the unfriendly look in the other person's eyes.

Roy followed Jason to the spectator stands at the training ground and sat down in an empty corner.

The girls around him smiled brightly from time to time, and Jason responded with a slight wave of his hand, which caused further screams.

At first glance, this southern prince seemed like a playboy who didn't care about his job, but Roy knew very well that it was all just an appearance.

In truth, Jason had no interest in women, and his engagement with his fiancée was a purely political marriage. His ambition and tactics were unmatched by those of ordinary second-generation rich men, so attracting his attention was not a good thing.

"Senior, I don't know what misunderstanding you have about me, but I'm really just a Sequence 8." Roy paused and evaded the question, "Besides, I'm only Charlotte's sworn knight, not the leader of a faction. If you really want to talk to someone important, you should go to her."

However, Jason smiled and shook his head.

"Extraordinary strength, remarkable means, a capable member of the Lionheart faction—that's what I originally thought."

"But you later hooked up with the Elf Nightingale, and even that witch took a liking to you. If I still can't see your extraordinary qualities, wouldn't I be quite foolish?"

That's right, now that the balance between the three major factions has been disrupted, this guy certainly doesn't want to see the Dark Magic faction and the Lionheart faction get too close, so he came to warn me. Douglas and this guy have both suffered a lot at the hands of Lyanna, so naturally they don't want her to have another ally.

After understanding Jason's purpose, Roy felt strange.

In the original novel, the likes of "Bad Boy Roy" never caught Jason's attention. Who knew he'd cleared his name, become a school celebrity, and no longer be criticized, only to arouse Jason's vigilance again?

Good or bad, troubles just keep coming.

Especially since meeting Lyanna, why can't the troubles stop?

"Lyanna and I are just ordinary friends."

"Then can I also be friends with my junior?"

Roy fell silent.

The Citadel's territory is so small that the conflicts between factions are irreconcilable. Judging from the original work and current signs, friction between the Lionheart faction and the South Sea faction is inevitable.

Jason didn't care about this and just patted him on the shoulder gently.

"Junior, let me advise you, the witch is very dangerous, it's better not to get involved with her."

"You should talk to Charlotte about this. I'm just a knight."

Jason frowned slightly, but continued, "I understand you don't want to be an enemy of the witch, and I don't ask you to join forces with me."

"Just don't interfere with my victory over her."

After saying this, Jason put on his elegant and quiet smile again, stood up, and prepared to leave.

Until Roy spoke, stopping him in his tracks.

"What if?"

Jason turned around, his smile fading slightly.

"if not......"

"Senior, you misunderstood. I'm not asking for your advice." Roy gave him a seemingly polite smile, but there was no smile in his eyes, nor any humility. He just calmly stated the facts in the boy's heart.

"Charlotte will decide the Lionheart faction's affairs herself. As for me..."

"It's not your turn to worry about what's going on between Lyanna and me."

Chapter 39: Senior, come and teach me

Jason was momentarily startled, then lowered his head slightly. The light blurred his glasses and eyes, and his polite smile and scholarly air vanished, replaced by the coldness and intimidation of a superior.

The female fans in the distance seemed to have sensed something was going on and some of them were afraid to come closer.

"Are you planning to become my enemy?"

Roy didn't care about Jason's questioning at all, nor was he overwhelmed by his momentum. Instead, he stepped forward and patted him on the shoulder firmly: "It depends on whether the senior will come to get in the way."

After saying that, Roy left without saying goodbye.

Now, with Charlotte's Lionheart Faction as his backing, as well as high-end combat forces such as Nia and Alice, plus he himself possesses the strength to rival Sequence 6, if he wants, he can completely replace the Sands Faction and form a three-way balance of power with the Dark Magic Faction and the South Sea Faction.

Compared to the cultists who often turned the world upside down, Roy really didn't take Jason's threat seriously.

As long as Jason doesn't cause trouble, Roy doesn't bother with him.

But if Jason insisted on being upset and causing trouble, Roy wouldn't mind making some effort to make him suffer.

In short, whether to officially join forces with Lyanna still depends on the Proof of Kings, and it is not up to Jason to influence him.

However, after all this trouble, Roy lost interest in continuing the sparring. It was just an elective class anyway, so he might as well just skip it.

It was afternoon, and except for students taking elective courses, most students were wandering around the campus and playing around, looking relaxed and comfortable.

Even nobles and extraordinary people are no different from ordinary people in their leisure time.

With nothing to do, it was inevitable that it would be boring to walk alone. Roy was thinking about which girl he should find to spend time with.

Go help Charlotte deal with faction affairs?

Go make fun of Nia who is taking extra classes?

Or, let's go see my little maid...

Passing by the commercial street in the college, Roy was wondering whether to bring them some snacks, but he noticed a group of people gathered in the distance, and an extraordinary aura was coming from them.

Luo moved closer out of curiosity, but this made him frown.

I saw a group of seniors from the South Sea faction wearing blue uniforms surrounding several members of the Lionheart faction wearing crimson uniforms in a corner, and the weapons store that originally belonged to the Lionheart faction was smashed to pieces.

Not only the commercial district of the academy, but also the commercial streets within the academy have a variety of shops selling extraordinary props and luxury goods.

Although this was just student spending, the actual amount of liquid funds and extraordinary resources involved was not insignificant. Therefore, one of the key aspects of factional struggles was the fight for territory and stalls.

But no matter what, it is too blatant to just start smashing and looting.

The leading Lionheart youth angrily demanded, "We bought this place from the Jinsha faction! If you have any objections, go to them. What are you thinking?"

Roy remembered him. He seemed to be the eldest son of a certain earl's family. His name was Ike. He was a Sequence 8, which was pretty good for a first-year student. He was also the leader of this group of Lionheart members.

However, the South Sea faction had nearly a dozen people, half of whom were Sequences. The dark-skinned young man who led the group, his coat wide open and his hands in his trouser pockets, acted nonchalantly, not taking the Earl's son seriously at all, and instead burst into laughter.

"Boy, factions speak with fists. Aren't you Lionhearts martial? If you don't obey..."

The dark-skinned youth frivolously hooked his finger at the Earl's son, causing all the members of the South China Sea faction to burst into laughter.

The members of the Lionheart faction were gritting their teeth and rolling up their sleeves, eager to start a fight.

But Ike stopped them in time, whispered a few words, and stopped the fight.

The South China Sea faction is large and powerful, and they are deliberately trying to stir up trouble. If a fight breaks out, not only will it not end well, but it may also give them an excuse to continue the trouble.

Roy nodded secretly.

Resources and territory are limited. In the original game, the Lionheart faction, in its quest for power, engaged in numerous conflicts with the South Sea faction, culminating in a head-on confrontation between Charlotte and Jason Hassan.

At this moment, the showdown has not officially started yet, and Charlotte is still accumulating strength.

This is just a small conflict at the moment and it doesn't affect the overall situation. There is no need for me to intervene now.

Roy was about to turn around and leave when he heard the blue-haired young man laugh rudely.

"A bunch of cowardly losers, just like your princess."

Roy paused.

This time, even Ike's expression turned grim.

The Reinhardt royal family is the pride of every Lionhearted citizen, and Charlotte is even more the pride in the hearts of their young people. With these two things combined, how could they allow others to be humiliated like this?

"Southerners, watch your words!"

"What? You're not convinced? But I didn't say anything. Charlotte Reinhardt has the title of the leader of the faction, but she hasn't taken any action recently. She can't even protect a small store!" The dark-skinned young man deliberately looked around and said contemptuously in a loud voice, "Everyone said Charlotte was majestic and had the demeanor of a king, but now it seems that she is just so-so!"

"Oh, or maybe she finally got smart and realized that a junior should act like a junior and be a good junior sister?"

The members of the South China Sea faction burst into laughter.

Just as Ike's face became darker and darker, the members of the Lionheart faction looked fierce and couldn't help but take action, while the members of the South Sea faction smiled gloomily, as if their evil plan had succeeded, the figure of the black-haired boy walked straight through the crowd and broke between the two.

"You're taking advantage of your bloodline level and numbers to bully a few juniors. You're not acting like a senior at all."

Seeing the appearance of the black-haired boy, the eyes of the Lionheart faction members lit up and they felt relieved.

The dark-skinned young man raised his eyebrows, a hint of vigilance in his eyes. However, after sensing Roy's aura, this vigilance quickly dissipated.

"Who did I think it was? The Oath Knight has been keeping a low profile for so long this semester, and is he finally coming forward?"

Roy shrugged. "There's nothing I can do. Even if it's a fly buzzing in my ear, it's annoying."

The dark-skinned young man's eyebrows twitched, but then he took a deep breath and forced a smile again.

"It's just that he won the Blue Trial. A mere Sequence 8, you're so arrogant."

The South Sea faction was not besieged by [Withering of All Things] and had no idea what happened in the Blue Trial.

In the young man's view, the black-haired boy in front of him was just relying on the two Sequence 7 female companions and Douglas's kindness to achieve some merits and make it to the top four.

Even if he really had some talent, and was one of the best among the Sequence 8s, so what? With six Sequence 8s on our side, how could they possibly defeat him?

"Let me teach you a lesson. Being arrogant requires capital!"

The young man's eyes turned cold, and he suddenly dodged, so fast that no one could see clearly, and pushed towards Roy.

Ike was a beat too late to yell, "Stop! Don't even think about...?!"

But before he could finish shouting, he widened his eyes and found that Roy stood still like a city wall, while the young man from the South China Sea was frozen in place, only an inch away from Roy, but he didn't dare to push forward.

The young man, with a faint golden glow in his eyes, smiled gently: "What's wrong, senior, come and teach me."

Chapter 40: The Student Council President Comes to Meet (×)

The dragon clan that once dominated the sky, its pressure alone was enough to make all mortal creatures submit.

If one wants to contend with the might of dragons, one must either possess blood that does not belong to the dragon clan like Charlotte and the others, or possess courage far beyond that of ordinary people.

Unfortunately, this young man from the South China Sea faction has neither.

In front of the black-haired boy, he felt like an ant being stared at by some giant monster. Just a glance was enough to scare him so much that his face turned pale and he froze in place.

"Kulan! Give him some color!"

"Let him know how powerful you are!"

The South China Sea faction members around were still making a fuss, but Kuran himself was trembling with fear, not even daring to breathe.

Roy raised his eyebrows slightly: "Senior, they are cheering you on, don't let them down."

“S-Stop talking so much…!”

Kuran shivered, trying his best to regain his courage and try to put on some kind of posture.

However, Roy took this step again.

It was just one step, and he didn't even continue to use the dragon's power, but in a trance, Kulan saw an ancient ferocious beast galloping across the sky and pouncing towards him. He screamed in panic, his legs went weak, and he fell to the ground.

No one knew what Roy had done.

In their opinion, Roy just took a step forward and scared Kuran half to death.

The members of the South Sea faction all looked unhappy and even looked down upon their leader, while the members of the Lionheart faction pointed at Kuran and laughed heartily, which caused the onlookers to sigh.

Only then did Kuran finally get rid of the influence of the pressure. His face turned blue and red. He climbed up again and glared at him angrily.

"That's enough! If you want to die, I'll grant your wish!"

Although some looked down on Kulan's embarrassing appearance, the members of the South China Sea faction still emitted extraordinary energy and drew their weapons.

Roy glanced at them quickly, but slowly rolled up his sleeves.

Six Sequence 8s are a bit of a stretch if you don't use the [False King].

But since they dared to offend Charlotte, they deserve to suffer a little, right?

Of course, regardless of victory or defeat, the South China Sea faction will certainly take the opportunity to cause trouble.
