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

In the original work, there is a scene where Alice is promoted too quickly and is bullied by senior students. Although there are always heroines who come to the rescue in the end, now that I am there, I will not allow the little maid to suffer any abuse.

However, contrary to expectations, the faces of the seniors were quite friendly.

"Brother Roy, I've heard a lot about you."

"Ms. Alice, long time no see. I'm glad you took care of me on the previous mission."

"This special training is quite difficult. Is it really a problem for first-year students?"

"What are you saying? Didn't you not hit anyone in the last test?"

The overly friendly jokes made Roy feel uncomfortable.

As the son of a marquis and a rising star in the first grade, it was not surprising that he was treated with such courtesy.

But Alice's popularity seems to be higher than hers, which is strange. She is still far from being a saint.

Upon inquiry, I discovered that Alice was a frequent participant in various after-school tests, practical training, and off-campus internships. Her outstanding abilities were universally recognized. She was also friendly and courteous, captivating even the self-important seniors.

"As a maid, I must not bring shame upon my master. It is natural for me to set a good example and establish a good image."

"Here it comes again, here it comes again. Alice really can't stop talking about the master."

Before she knew it, the little maid was surrounded by the crowd and drowned in laughter, and she was left aside.

While feeling relieved, Roy also felt a little lonely.

What's with this feeling of watching your child grow up and become more and more distant from you?!

No, no, no, it's a good thing that Alice is popular.

It’s better not to meddle in her affairs and just let her enjoy the harmonious friendship with her classmates.

Roy convinced himself and stepped aside, but he still had a sullen look on his face, like an old father who was neglected.

"By the way, Alice, do you want to team up with us? One more person means more strength."

Hey! You brat, don't think I don't know what you're thinking! That's too early for Alice! Besides, she's a lesbian, you don't stand a chance! Get away from me!

However, before Roy could come forward, Alice ran over from the crowd and asked softly, "Master, someone invited us to form a team. What should we do?"

The light blue eyes were purer and clearer than the sky. Being looked at in such a way, Roy suddenly felt troubled.

"Alice, what do you think?"

"Ugh?"

"Do you want to team up with them?"

At times like this, Alice's wishes should be respected.

She is not her pet.

Even if she wants to team up with others, it is her freedom—

Although I will definitely follow him just in case.

But the girl answered without hesitation: "Alice wants to be with the master."

Roy blinked and said, "Of course I'll be with you."

The little maid murmured weakly, reaching out to grab his sleeve and unconsciously moving closer to him: "Um, it means that Alice wants to be with the master. Only with the master."

The blonde girl tilted her head back and asked endearingly, "Is it okay?"

"of course can!"

If it wasn't in public, Roy would have wanted to lift Alice up on the spot!

Unfortunately, I can only hug her lightly now.

Even so, the little maid's expression was as soft as marshmallow, which was very sweet.

Roy had no idea that the person who had just made the invitation was not disappointed, but instead had a look of satisfaction as if he had eaten his fill.

“Although it’s a pity that we couldn’t join the team, it was worth it to see this scene!”

"True love truly exists between master and servant!"

Although she is not in a confirmed relationship like the other girls, Alice keeps calling everyone "master" wherever she goes, which has already made everyone face the reality.

Miss Angel’s fans have long since given up their evil thoughts and have been transformed into reserve members of the Master and Servant Fan Club.

If a certain white-haired cat girl knew about this, she would probably burst into tears with excitement.

However, people’s pessimism is always different.

Enwei, with disheveled clothes, messy hair and half-awake eyes, came late because of a hangover.

As soon as I came up, I caught a glimpse of the little brats chattering and laughing, and in the middle of their laughter, there was a boy and a girl hugging each other affectionately.

The handsome black-haired boy and the cute blonde girl looked at each other affectionately, which was a feast for the eyes for the reserve members of the fan club.

But to Enwei, it was the strong smell of sour love.

I was just rejected by an ice beauty yesterday and was humiliated.

I saw the young boy and girl clinging to each other again early in the morning.

A nameless anger suddenly ignited in Enwei's confused mind.

"Hey, what are you all arguing about?"

"Is the actual combat training a place for you to play?!"

The teacher's scolding made the students scatter like birds and beasts and retreat to the side.

Enwei looked around arrogantly for a while, regaining the arrogance of a superior, but saw that the boy and girl were still clinging to each other, and he couldn't help feeling annoyed.

"You are...that, Luo, Roy, right?"

"Let go of your hands! This is a real combat training, not a place for you little brats to play around!"

Alice cast a questioning look at Roy, who glanced at Envy and smiled softly: "Don't worry about him."

"He was probably rejected by a beautiful girl last night, and drinking to drown his sorrows wasn't enough, so he came to vent his anger on the students."

"It sounds a bit pitiful." Alice complained lightly, but there was no sympathy in her tone.

"Haha, indeed."

Enwei, who was standing by, was so excited when he heard this.

These two brats actually dared to ridicule me in front of me so openly!

"This is the most difficult actual combat training. Why are first-years joining in the fun?"

"Get back now! You'll lose credits for violating school rules!"

Roy looked at the frustrated hungover uncle with amusement. "Teacher, it doesn't seem like the school rules clearly state that first-year students are not allowed to participate in the most difficult practical training, right?"

"Also, I don't remember remembering that teachers who are late for special training activities will have their wages deducted."

Chapter 8 Grievances

Enwei was choked by what he said and it took him a long time to catch his breath.

He glared at me fiercely: "Don't forget, I'm the instructor of the practical training, you little brat, you'd better respect me!"

Unexpectedly, Alice suddenly snorted coldly: "The master is much stronger than you, so he doesn't need your protection."

From Alice's perspective, she was just telling the truth.

However, Enwei was very angry.

"Once you're in the monster's belly, let's see if you can still be so arrogant!" Enwei seemed to have seen that scene. He walked forward and said happily, word by word, "When that happens, perhaps you will respect your teacher."

"I've already told you that the master doesn't need your protection at all..." Alice muttered gloomily, thinking that if she needed protection, she would be enough.

Roy sighed inwardly.

The instructor supervising the combat training was there just in case. Enwei had Sequence 6 strength, which wasn't bad.

But he came to work with a hangover, started cursing, threatened students with school rules, and even cursed.

This guy is really unreliable. Fortunately, he came, otherwise Roy would not trust such a person to ensure Alice's safety.

Fortunately, after the actual combat training officially began, there was no need to deal with Enwei.

Enwei is only responsible for rescuing people when accidents happen.

The students were divided into groups of two and entered the swamp from different directions to search for the escaped monsters and the black bird.

The dampness hit me in the face, vines rubbed against me and surrounded me, the ground under my feet was soft and muddy, covered with mud and moss, making it difficult to even walk.

Due to the overwhelming power of the supernatural in the center of the continent, a mix of different natural landscapes has emerged within the same area. Unlike the previous misty forest, this area is closer to the rainforest in the southwest.

From time to time, there would be flying birds circling among the treetops, and dark shadows flashing by the grass.

It is actually not difficult to catch the black bird, but the difficult part is moving forward in the swamp.

However, there will be no punishment even if the mission fails in actual combat training, not to mention that there are so many other groups besides them.

Alice originally wanted to take this opportunity to hone herself, and Roy just wanted to witness her growth and ensure her safety. The mission itself was not that important.

Roy made a statement in advance: "Since we are here for special training, I will not take action unless we encounter a particularly difficult enemy."

"Well, Master, you can rest assured. Alice is all you need."

The blonde girl responded calmly, pressing the hilt of her sword as she walked ahead, not at all slowed down by the mud under her feet. Her small figure had an inexplicable reliability, like a skilled and experienced swordsman, or a well-trained hunting dog.

Seeing the girl's brown boots and fair skin stained with dirt, Roy himself felt a little reluctant.

No, no, no, this is just the beginning! You're backing down at this point. Are you some kind of doting, useless dad?

When children grow up, they need to be independent. At this time, you just need to wait for them silently!

Roy had just made up his mind for two seconds when a jackal suddenly jumped out in front of him.

"Alice!"

Roy was so frightened that his dragon scales stood up, and he projected the sword on the spot, but unexpectedly, Alice moved faster. The steel sword was unsheathed, flowing like water and clouds, like a white silk ribbon.

The jackal was killed on the spot without even being able to scream.

The little maid turned around, holding the blood-stained sword, and asked in confusion: "What happened?"

"......nothing."

Obviously, Roy's worries were unnecessary.

Along the way, the extraordinary creatures from sequence 8 to 9 were basically killed instantly as soon as they showed up.

Even if there was an opponent of Sequence 7, they would be defeated by Alice's sword after a brief fight at most.

The sword is sharp and unstoppable, and the attack is decisive and merciless.

To be honest, this was a bit too unexpected.

Although the little maid in the original work also has very strong abilities, most of the time, she is just a show-off. When a real fight comes, she still needs the help of the heroines - the main character is a silly and sweet heroine who needs Aotian's help to show her strength.

The battle between extraordinary people is indeed not determined by bloodline ability.

The use of extraordinary abilities, the judgment of the enemy's capabilities, the skills of close combat, and the response to emergencies will greatly affect the outcome of victory or defeat.

Although the area had been scouted by magicians in advance and it was unlikely that a Sequence 6 monster would appear, Roy was still worried that Alice would encounter a difficult opponent and get into trouble, or be injured by a sneak attack.

But the little maid's performance gave him a perfect score.

When facing a formidable opponent, he maintains a steady pace, wearing them down before using his [Seraph]'s ability to significantly increase his bloodline level to deliver a decisive blow. He maintains a high level of vigilance, reacting quickly even to a surprise attack without panicking.

Roy seemed to have seen the shadow of the invincible Saint of Destiny standing in front of the army.

Alice herself also noticed the boy's gaze coming from behind, and her mood became light and upbeat.

The master is looking at him.

This alone is more inspiring than any applause or honor.

You must perform well to keep your master's eyes fixed on you!

Alice's sword slashed faster and faster, as if she knew no fatigue.

The startled monster originally wanted to teach the two-legged beast that broke into its territory a lesson, but saw a blonde girl coming towards him with a bloody sword in her hand, an expressionless face, wide eyes, and a very happy mood.

This guy doesn't look normal, does he?!
