Chapter 45 Don’t Blame Me
Kingdom of Stars, Galaxian, Sword and Rose Magician University.
"...Facing a turbid heart monster, unless the swordsman can pierce its brain stem immediately - it is useless to chop off the head, as long as the turbid heart monster still has a brain to launch an attack - otherwise it will be affected by its magic spirit. 'Frenzy' effect. When he finds that his mood becomes impatient, the swordsman must pierce his thigh and use the pain to stay awake, allowing other long-range magicians in the team to kill the turbid heart monster..."
The only sound in the lecture theater was the teacher's talk. Sonia, who was sitting by the window, looked at the three shining stars in the sky outside. The warm sunlight spread on the benches on the lawn and everything in the world was shining brightly.
"Sonia!" Ingrid lowered her voice, "Don't be distracted in class."
Sonia, who was resonating with the light of reality, smiled slightly, "It's not an important class. The bracelet is also recording notes. Even if I am distracted..."
"This is the most important "Introduction to Swordsmanship"!" Ingrid looked serious. "Aren't you going to go into the abyss in the future? Aren't you afraid of encountering danger? So what if you have a bracelet to record notes? This is the most important thing. Enemy knowledge class, you can’t be too careful about safety issues!”
"Ahem!"
The teacher in the classroom coughed twice, and the two of them quickly sat down and listened carefully.
"Introduction to Swordsmanship" is not about teaching false theories, but about how swordsmen should respond to different enemies and situations. The reason why this course exists is because it is closely related to the future career direction of swordsmen.
There is no doubt that the swordsman is a pure combat magician. Unlike the water magician who can transform into a healing magician, the mechanical magician can transform into a creature magician. If it were in a peaceful and prosperous age, swordsmen would definitely gradually decline, and the inheritance might even be cut off.
The swordsmanship in the Kingdom of Stars flourishes because the world is not safe and is always threatened by the abyss.
The abyss is not a fixed place, but a randomly appearing monster lair. It is said to be random, but there are traces: it will only appear in cities with many people, or in other words, the more magicians there are, the easier it is for abyss to appear.
Galashi, as the core city of Stars, naturally suppresses the largest abyss.
So far, no scholar has been able to explain the reasons for the formation of the abyss, but the threat posed by the abyss must be resolved. The abyss cannot be eradicated. The deeper it goes, the more powerful the monsters are. There will even be three-winged holy realm and four-winged legendary level deep monsters, but the surface monsters are not easy to deal with either.
Because the terrain of the abyss changes drastically every once in a while, the magicians cannot build a camp in the abyss. At the same time, the abyss will riot every once in a while, and legendary monsters will also come to the surface, so the magicians must withdraw during that time. abyss.
Due to various restrictions, "regular cleaning of the abyss" has become a very important social division of labor. Except for a few people who can become "anti-riot consultants" for nobles and companies, most swordsmen will form teams with other magicians and regularly venture into the abyss to clean up monsters.
This is not a dirty job, and it can be regarded as a very good way out, because in addition to the ‘extermination gold’ given by the country, the various trophies dropped by the abyss monsters are extremely valuable, and sometimes scarce resource points can even be found in the abyss.
I don't know how many nobles originated from the abyss adventure team, and there are countless magicians who have had adventures in the abyss.
But risks are directly proportional to benefits. Almost all monsters in the abyss are possessed by magic spirits, and their combat power is no less than that of magicians. Every day, countless magicians die in the abyss, and the entire team may even be destroyed and become nutrients for the abyss.
That's why Ingrid is so dissatisfied with Sonia's attitude: if you listen for one more second in the "Introduction to Swordsmanship" class, you will be more alert when encountering danger in the abyss in the future!
But Sonia had just absorbed an experience orb, and was like a child who got a new toy. She was very excited, and all her thoughts were on confirming the knowledge of the Light Faction. Moreover, she didn't think she would venture into the abyss - it was still possible before, but now with her talent and the audience's thigh, she can achieve the three-winged sanctuary step by step, so why go to the abyss with others? Rolling around for dear life?
The "Introduction to Swordsmanship" get out of class is over, followed by "Swordsmanship Practical Combat", which is a competition class between students in the swordsmanship department. When walking to the actual combat hall, there were students secretly observing Sonia along the way, and they kept talking.
Sonia was not surprised by this. When Professor Trozan asked her to skip all procedures and transfer to the swordsmanship department, she had already become the focus of the students and the Nikkei topic.
But today is a little different - because in addition to Sonia, the students are also observing Felix on the other side.
"Look, she was the one who took Celia..."
"Sonia will probably be dumped soon..."
"As soon as I saw her, I knew she was that kind of person..."
Although she only heard fragmentary sounds, Sonia probably knew what happened - the news that Felix had dumped Celia spread, and as the woman who had recently appeared in Felix's presence, Sonia Nia inevitably becomes the center of attention.
Don't cause trouble for me... Sonia just wants to accumulate in a low-key manner now, and doesn't want to be distracted by such boring things.
But women have a strong prophecy ability, especially when it comes to predicting bad things. After entering the combat hall, Sonia found many unknown people present, and the only one she knew was Senior Sister Celia.
Celia was wiping away tears at this time, her eyes were red, and coupled with her simple and elegant look, she looked so pitiful that I felt pity for her. Although Sonia relies on her extraordinary appearance, Celia has the temperament, atmosphere, and tear makeup bonus. At this moment, Sonia cannot defeat her no matter what.
"Ingulit, I want to skip class."
"Yes." Ingrid also expressed understanding.
However, just when Sonia was about to exit the combat hall, a loud shout shook the dust from the ceiling.
"Felix, come here!"
A tall black-haired swordsman shouted loudly: "You dare to fool my sister's feelings, so you don't dare to show up, do you?"
As soon as these words came out, everyone's eyes immediately turned to Felix and Sonia. Felix was calm, as he seemed to have encountered this kind of thing frequently, and walked into the combat hall calmly, while Sonia also gave up the idea of escape after some inner struggle - she could not leave in such a dejected manner without saying a word. , leaving means cowardice, running away means giving in.
In the countryside, being weak and giving in will only make you more vulnerable to bullying.
In big cities, too.
There is no fundamental difference in the short-sightedness between country rats and city rats.
"Luo Lian, Celia, good morning." Felix nodded towards them, "Would you like to have lunch together later?"
"No need, I feel like vomiting just looking at your face." Facing Vosloda's young master, the black-haired swordsman didn't give him any face: "Draw your sword, let me see Vosloda's face." backbone."
Hearing this, the nearby students began to whisper, and Ingrid couldn't help but exclaim inwardly: "It's actually Senior Luo Lian!"
After Ingrid's introduction, Sonia learned that Senior Luo Lian was also a man of the hour. He was a swordsman genius in the third grade. Although he was not favored by Professor Trozan, he also became the research student of a certain golden swordsman. An apprentice, he became a silver swordsman a year ago and is a member of the Sword Flower University competition team!
Although he is only from a middle-class noble family, Luo Lian can at least achieve two wings of gold in the future and has a bright future. Naturally, he does not need to respect a mere young master of the Vosloda family. People who rely on their own abilities to make a living are tough.
Luo Lian and Celia are not biological siblings. Their fathers are brothers. In addition, they are in the same grade at the same school, so they usually have a good relationship. It is almost natural for Luo Lian to vent his anger for Celia.
However, Felix did not agree, but looked at Celia: "Senior, is this what you want?"
Others may think that Felix has given in, but Sonia knows that he is really confused - as a person who can change his girlfriend four times a month, Felix naturally has no feelings for his girlfriend, and he thinks that other women are also knowing. Approaching him under this premise, so nothing happened during his wandering.
However, Sonia noticed the way Celia looked at Felix and understood everything immediately.
Originally it was just a show, but Celia was really moved.
Only true feelings can explain why Celia was so irrational at this time. She not only cut off the last possibility between herself and Felix, but also made a useless effort.
Feelings are the most elusive thing, and hunters sometimes step into their own traps.
Women always think that they are the last one for the other person, and men always think that they are the first one for the other person. The loser who is trapped will always have unrealistic illusions.
When he didn't get an answer from Celia, Felix looked at Luo Lian: "Senior Luo Lian, do you mean... you want to beat me up?"
"This is the actual combat hall. Let's have some actual combat training." Luo Lian sneered: "There is a treatment center next to it. I will try my best to prevent the Vosloda family from losing outstanding children. Shouldn't you Don’t you dare?”
"Okay, very good. How could I not be afraid? It's not just a first grader competing with a third grader. It's a swordsman who has just become a magician for a few days and a senior who has been a magician for more than a year. How could I be afraid?"
Felix showed his white teeth and accused Luo Lian of bullying the young. He is a son of a noble and not a fool. How could he fall into such a boring provocation?
The surrounding students obviously did not recognize the disparity in strength in fighting, which was no different from bullying. However, Luo Lian's expression remained normal, and his eyes shifted from Felix to Sonia.
Sonia suddenly had a bad feeling.
"Felix, I heard that you recently got a beautiful 'good school girl'. You two even summoned magic spirits when fighting. You must have a 'good' relationship and a 'deep' personal relationship."
Luo Lian deliberately emphasized the words and said sarcastically: "As a senior, of course I will not bully the younger ones, and I will also give you the opportunity to bully the younger ones. Since I am venting my anger for Celia, I am just looking for you Felix." If that’s not enough, let your school girl come over too!”
"I'll beat you two by myself!"
Although Luo Lian didn't say it out loud, almost every word he said revealed the same subtext:
It's you guys and dogs that I beat today!
Sonia's current mood simply wanted to blow the heads of the viewers - how could she, a clean and self-sufficient onlooker, get caught in this shit?
At this time, everyone's eyes were on it, even Felix was no exception.
Sonia's eyes wandered and she did not go out. She stood next to Ingrid with a puzzled expression: "I'm sorry, Senior Luo Lian, I don't understand what you mean - although Felix and I were together with Trozan Professors learn, but we don’t have much contact in private. This is your personal grudge and I have no reason to get involved.”
Because Luo Lian's words were unpleasant, he rushed to fight alongside Felix?
Sonia is no longer a child, and likes and dislikes are not the only principles for her actions.
Now she just wants to grow up in a low profile and is not interested in Felix's friendship at all, and this is also the best opportunity for her to clarify - if she really fights Luo Lian with Felix, she will be a "dog man and woman". suspicion.
No matter how you think about it, getting out of this whirlpool is the wisest choice.
Luo Lian stopped paying attention to Sonia and sneered: "It seems that your charm is nothing more than this, Felix."
"You misunderstood." Felix said calmly, opened the sword bag and took out the wooden sword, and the atmosphere was about to explode.
Just when Sonia thought she could skip class, a hand suddenly put her shoulder.
"This is unreasonable - what is the difference between a fight with a huge difference in strength and bullying? As a disciplinary committee member, I cannot allow this kind of unilateral crushing to happen."
A heroic orange-haired swordswoman pressed Sonia's shoulders and pushed her forward. Sonia turned her head and saw only the female swordsman with her work ID pinned on her chest: "Committee of Sword and Flower Discipline: Leonie Victor".
"It's Senior Leone!"
"Why did she show up at school?"
"It's the Orange Dancer herself!"
The orange-haired swordswoman pulled Sonia all the way to the center of the field. Her hands were like a vise, and Sonia couldn't break free at all.
"Junior Felix, Junior Sonia, you still need to communicate more. If Professor Trozan knows that you two can't even help each other and love each other, he will definitely be very disappointed."
The orange-haired swordswoman looked at Sonia with a smile on her face.
"Luo Lian is certainly suspected of bullying the younger ones, but you are Professor Trozan's research apprentices. His bullying of you is tantamount to humiliating the Hidden Hand Sword Master. How can you bear this tone? You must know that Felix is not only It represents himself, and it also represents that he is Professor Trozan’s only apprentice, Junior Sonia, do you understand this?”
Sonia reluctantly nodded and shook her head, "But this is their personal grudge..."
"When Luo Lian said he wanted to challenge you two, even if it was to protect the reputation of the Hidden Hand Sword Master, you had to accept the challenge. What's more, with two against one, the odds of winning are so huge, it would be too cowardly for you to refuse. .”
"As a swordsman, you should have the courage to move forward and the confidence to reason with your sword! If you defeat the enemy, you will be the most reasonable!"
"Senior Sonia, what do you think?"
When the orange-haired swordswoman moved out of Professor Trozan, Sonia knew that she could not escape this battle.
Regardless of whether Trozan cared or not, Sonia didn't dare to gamble.
Trozan is her biggest supporter at the moment, and she doesn’t dare to risk anything that affects Trozan’s perception of her, let alone hundreds of people watching now. She ignores the news that Professor Trozan is shrinking, and within ten minutes she It can be spread throughout Jianhua.
But she hated this feeling: being manipulated, forced, calculated, and finally had to participate in a battle she didn't want to participate in!
The strong sense of grievance and shame fermented in her body, so much so that Sonia's shoulders couldn't help but tremble slightly.
But she was a girl who came to Kalashi from the countryside alone, and her reason soon prevailed.
However, just as she suppressed her inner dissatisfaction, a familiar voice sounded in her ears.
"Do you need me to help you? I promise I can eliminate your inner unhappiness."
"want!"
"This is what you promised yourself. I'm leaving first. Don't blame me."
The viewer walks behind Sonia and disappears in the air after speaking.
The next second, Sonia looked at the orange-haired swordswoman.
"Senior Sonia, what is your decision now-?"
"I refuse!" Sonia shook her head resolutely, "I will never get involved in their personal grudges, I will never fight alongside Felix, and I will never fight with Senior Luo Lian!"
The orange-haired swordswoman raised her eyebrows slightly: "But in this case..."
"but!"
Sonia looked at the orange-haired swordswoman and spoke loudly.
“As Professor Trozan’s apprentice, I can’t stand you provoking me with Professor Trozan’s reputation over and over again in front of me, and I can’t stand your attempt to incite students to question the quality of Professor Trozan’s teaching, and I can’t stand you taking advantage of me. The victory or defeat between the two of us will slander Professor Trozan’s character!”
"I don't--"
"No need to explain. As you said, you are the one who makes the most sense when you defeat the enemy. So——"
Sonia opened her sword bag, took out her wooden sword and pointed it at the orange-haired swordswoman.
"Leonie Victor, I challenge you."
