Chapter 592: The Much-Anticipated Bet
There was no reason to refuse. After accepting Shuo Yue's challenge, Old Knight Dan and Robin Hood left the health room.
After they left, a beautiful figure poked her head out of the door, met Shuo Yue's unsurprising eyes, blushed, and simply walked over openly.
"You really said something extraordinary. My opinion of you has changed."
"As you said, what did you think of me before?" Sakuyue looked at the girl who was as graceful as a stag with her flesh and bones still in place, "Miss Tohsaka Rin."
"Look, look, it's changed back again." Rin pointed at the faint smile on Shuo Yue's face and the slightly raised corners of her eyes, and pouted, "This kind of fox face that knows everything but doesn't say anything, looking at He looks so polite and rude!"
"Compared with the arrogant attitude I had when I confronted Old Knight Dan just now, it's even better!"
"But, no matter who it is, it's me." Shuo Yue rubbed the corners of her mouth, pretending to be helpless, "Besides, if you don't sleep in the middle of the night, what's the point of coming to the health room, you guys?"
If you stand in the corridor outside the health care room, you will definitely feel the evil spirit permeating the air - obviously, in addition to Rin who appears in person, there are many masters who have sent familiars to monitor every move here.
It was a good thing that Sakuyue didn't mention it, but when he mentioned it, Rin became very angry: "Yeah, I don't know who opened the Noble Phantasm in the middle of the night and scared all the masters in the building awake. People who don’t know think that Tsukiumihara Academy is under attack!”
Is the A+ level anti-army weapon a joke? Especially when Shuo Yue went all out, even the defense wall of Yue Haiyuan was completely destroyed. With such a huge momentum, it is strange that the other masters were indifferent.
When this matter was mentioned, the young man took it for granted: "That guy Robin Hood wanted to kill my master. I just regret that I couldn't completely eliminate him."
Where are you from, old lady? Is this overprotective?
Tohsaka Rin twitched the corner of his mouth and decided to change the topic: "You destroyed the room in Tsukiumihara Academy. The Moon Spirit Crystal will definitely punish you. At the very least, you have to pay a huge amount of QP. For someone who has just experienced this once If we fight, we will definitely lose our fortune... How are we mentally prepared?"
"Qing, bankrupt your family and everything?" Sure enough, these words hit Bai Ye's weak point, and she suddenly panicked, looking at Shuo Yue in confusion.
After finally getting through the hard life, she didn't want to go back to the days of eating one meal in three meals!
"Hmph~" Tohsaka Rin crossed his arms, obviously very satisfied with Hakuno's sad face, "Of course, there is a generous, wealthy, beautiful and generous Master standing in front of you."
At this point, the girl swung her ponytails and held her head high, looking reserved and expectant. Her meaning was self-evident.
Come and beg me!
It's just that these adjectives have nothing to do with you, Rin... Shuo Yue couldn't laugh or cry. He entered the amount in front of the red screen that popped up in front of him, and then pressed confirmation: "Okay."
As soon as he finished speaking, the blue data light flowed down like a waterfall, restoring the damaged health room to like new in the blink of an eye. Sakuyue ignored the stunned people and came to Sakura's side, took the teapot from her hand, made himself a cup of tea, and drank the tea calmly.
After a long time, Rin realized: "The Yueling Crystal repaired the health room...? Shuoyue, have you accepted the punishment?"
"Well, it's just 100,000 QP." Shuo Yue chuckled like a fox and looked at Rin leisurely, "How expensive is it?"
"One, two, three, four, five..." Bai Ye looked at the shared payment screen and began to doubt that he had not woken up. "Why are there so many zeros..."
That’s a full 100,000 QP! To give it to him so lightly? !
Even Rin was stunned, and it took him a long time to realize: "You, where did you get so much money?"
"A lot? Not even 100 million." Shuo Yue looked at the 'Beautiful Boy' in her skill column (Note: The Golden Rule has been included in the Beautiful Boy), and smiled without saying a word.
What comes back after the first round of battle is not just strength.
In just one day, Shuo Yue took advantage of his skills and foresight to stir up trouble in the Moon Spirit Crystal.
After a long time, Rin recovered from the blow. She left weakly and went back to catch up on her beauty sleep. The health room became quiet. In the darkness, Bai Ye's eyes were bright, like a cat at night, staring at the man sitting next to her. New moon.
"Huh?" The young man tilted his head, unable to see clearly in the darkness, "What's wrong, Bai Ye?"
There was a rustling sound on the bed, and the two jewel-like bright cat eyes suddenly disappeared. Shuo Yue looked intently, and Bai Ye actually covered himself in the quilt.
"Won't you feel hot like this?" After saying that, Shuo Yue reached out to lift her quilt, but the girl's hand was unusually strong. After several attempts, Shuo Yue had no choice but to give up, "Forget it. Anyway, if you feel hot, loosen it, but don’t suffocate yourself.”
Do you still care about people? This is too foul... The girl in the quilt blushed and responded softly. After receiving Bai Ye's reply, Shuo Yue smiled and immediately closed her eyes. Not long after, a slight snoring could be heard.
It wasn't until he heard the sound of breathing becoming longer and longer that Bai Ye opened the quilt and stared at Shuo Yue with a pair of big moist eyes, hiding emotions that no one could know.
The girl named Kishinami Hakuno only wanted two things, one was care, and the other was candy. She had always thought that as long as she could get one of them, it would be enough, but now, staring at the handsome face of the young man——
"Too sweet..." Muttering, Hakuno once again shrank back into the quilt, suppressing the sweet emotions that were about to overflow, rolling back and forth like a caterpillar.
Obviously, it was her that he swore to protect when he signed the contract, but until now, it was Hakuno who was carefully cared for, not Shuoyue, because of her injury, Shuoyue even did this.
Maybe he was just impulsive and acted on impulse, but Hakuno's heart was already full of joy.
No one would hate this feeling of being cared for and loved.
Emotions and thoughts slowly sank, and the girl fell asleep without knowing when, breathing steadily, sleeping very peacefully.
In the dim light of the night, the young man smiled, his eyebrows and eyes were gentle.

The next morning, at the gate of the Ni no Tsuki Sea
Robin Hood and old knight Dan came as scheduled, and Shuo Yue and Bai Ye had already been waiting at the gate of the arena. The two teams looked at each other, all full of energy and ready to go.
"You're here."
"Yes, I'm here."
"You shouldn't have come." Shuo Yue said in a deep voice, and Robin Hood rolled his eyes.
"You're sick, you're the one who proposed the bet."
The joke he threw was not caught, which made Shuo Yue feel a little sad. He sighed and simply got to the point:
"Two rounds of gambling, the rules of the first round are very simple, that is, the Ni no Tsuki Sea is the venue, and both sides use tricks to kill each other at all costs. If you die, you deserve it. If you live to decide the winner, then we will come to the second round."
"The second round will follow the rules of the Holy Grail War, and the winner will be decided in the final."
"An additional condition is that my master must not be directly used as a target."
After briefly explaining the rules, Shuoyue raised his eyes and looked at Robin Hood: "This will not only allow you to play your best abilities, but also meet the old knight's requirements for the battle of glory. What do you think? Do you have any objections?"
"Humph." The chivalrous thief of Sherwood sneered, "You are so arrogant that you want to trample on my most proud field. Okay, in this case, I guess you won't mind me entering the February Sea of Thoughts to set a trap first?"
"Since you know that I am proficient in assassination, you should let me be fully prepared, right? Or - you don't dare to do this?"
There is no doubt that this is a provocation.
Bai Ye tugged at the corner of Sakutsuki's clothes, and the young man held her hand with his backhand. After giving her a reassuring look, he nodded and agreed: "Why not?"
"Hmph... I'm a little upset because of your straightforwardness." Robin Hood raised the corner of his mouth. When the old knight Dan gave up his persuasion, his temperament became more and more the same as before, "I believe you will regret it soon."
"I'll wait and see." Sakutsuki smiled confidently. Seeing this, Robin Hood said no more and walked into the Ni no Tsuki Sea of Thought with the old knight Dan.
The first round of gambling began.
On the other side, in the teaching building of Tsukimihara, Rin Tosaka yawned and knocked on the door of the projection room.
As a public facility, the projection room of Tsukimihara has the largest projection screen and the best projection equipment. It is the best monitoring place for magicians.
Although few people used it at the beginning of the first battle because of its high price, it was a good choice to rent the projection room for monitoring in order to investigate their detailed abilities when it was clear that Sakutsuki and Robin Hood would have a gambling fight today.
But——
"The price is unexpectedly much cheaper...?"
Rin was a little suspicious. While she was secretly alert, she paid QP and pushed the door open.
Then, she was startled by dozens of figures.
"Huh...? How could there be so many people!"
Looking around, the originally empty projection room was now as crowded as a classroom for morning self-study. Many masters wearing Yue Haiyuan school uniforms sat in their seats, staring at the front with serious faces, and whispering to each other from time to time.
And on the big screen in the projection room, the scene of the second moon sea was being projected.
"Oh, it's you, Miss Toosaka Rin."
The blond boy sitting in the front row turned around after noticing some movement at the door. It was Leo: "You're late. The gambling has already begun."
"Leo, you..." Rin looked around, still unable to understand, "What on earth is going on?"
"You're not the only one who heard the bet between the two last night, Miss Rin." The young Wang Sheng smiled, "Everyone is curious about how Sakutsuki, a masterless Servant, defeated his opponent in a battle. At the same time, Robin Hood, who was able to assassinate the Master in the teaching building, was also envied by many people. I am afraid of it."
"As a result, everyone came to the projection room at the same time. There was no other way. At my suggestion, Yueling Crystal temporarily opened the projection room to the public. As long as a small amount of QP is paid, you can investigate intelligence together."
"I see, no wonder the price is so much cheaper." Lin suddenly realized and strode to the other side of Leo and sat down, "Then let me see what happened in the February Sea of Thought."
The moment Lin sat down, the big screen in the projection room moved, and the overwhelming purple mist spread, covering the February Sea of Thought.
No one needs to explain, all the masters know that this gambling fight has begun.
