My dear witch, please turn evil according to the script!

Chapter 288 I will save you from the crisis; as for how the crisis came about, don't worry about it.
After Flam appeared, the training session quietly ended.

One reason is that Roland's performance somewhat exceeded Russell's expectations.

Such a quick reaction, as well as impressive physical strength and courage, proves that even without those strange tricks and divine weapons, Roland's fighting ability alone makes him a force to be reckoned with.

The firepower of four six-barreled revolver cannons is enough to form an impenetrable fire net, ensuring that not even a mosquito can escape.

But Roland was able to use unimaginable speed, agility, and impressive physical defense to dodge most of the firepower while enduring some bullets, and then seize the opportunity to smash his own modified training puppet to pieces with an elbow strike.

Russell did not reduce the firepower and bullet power on these training puppets just because they were training puppets.

This made Russell realize that Roland could skip some of the basic physical training stages and go directly into the subsequent combat techniques training.

This kind of training, which focuses more on courage in the face of the enemy, seems completely unnecessary now.

Roland was far more resilient and courageous than he appeared.

Secondly, her gaze fell upon a certain annoying elf.

Clearly, the feud between Russell and Flam is not something that can be easily put aside.

Roland never asked Russell what had happened between her, Ms. Fram, and the hero back then.

But his doubts were soon resolved.

"Oh~~~ Isn't this a troublemaker? Even if I don't want to lower myself to your level, how dare you show up in front of me so nonchalantly? Do you want to get beaten up?"

Russell crossed his arms, a dangerous glint in his eyes, and his fists were now adorned with gauntlets that possessed a disintegrating force field.

Frum, sitting next to Kalia, was not to be outdone.

After standing up, the slightly short figure began to exude terrifying magical energy fluctuations. Even Roland, who had retreated to the side to watch the show with Kalia, had to admit that this was probably the first time he had ever seen this legendary mage unleash his full power, especially at such close range.

It's hard to imagine that such a powerful figure, who could suppress ordinary soldiers to the point of being unable to stand upright simply by emitting magical aura, would be directly taken down by his own disciple and some brainless blood demon.

As expected, squishy mages are still too weak. Mages who also practice swordsmanship, like Principal Hern Academy, or those who practice physical combat, like Russell, are the real answer for this version.

While the Flame, this glass cannon, boasts impressive damage output stats, it suffers from significant disadvantages in defense and health bar length.

However, one thing is one thing, although Ms. Flam would undoubtedly be in an extremely unfavorable situation if she were ambushed.

But clearly this guy came prepared today.

After she stood up, her body shone with no fewer than four completely different magical lights, looking like a spell that combined automatic defense and physical enhancement.

Given that this guy also knows flight techniques, it shouldn't be easy for Professor Russell to deal with him.

Compared to Roland, who had already begun analyzing the relative strengths of both sides and was eager to see the two powerful figures clash and settle their scores, Kalia on the side was clearly much more conscientious.

"Shouldn't we try to stop Roland? Also, if a fight breaks out, whose side should we take?"

"Why should we stop it?" Roland looked at Kalia seriously. "Being able to watch two powerful people fight so closely is a rare opportunity that many people would kill for! We must cherish it!"

"As for who to help, I think their strength is about even, especially since this is the legion's base. Even if they fight, they will hold back."

"Besides, aren't Ms. Amya and Mr. Kefas also in Isfar? Don't worry, there's always someone taller to hold up the sky if it falls."

Kalia thought it made a lot of sense, nodded, and then took out a bag of cookies from her pocket: "Want some?"

"...Didn't you just finish breakfast?"

"Hey, wouldn't it feel incomplete if you didn't eat something while watching a play?"

……

At the same time, Cafas, who was reading the newspaper and drinking tea at the Hatter's branch, suddenly shivered and sneezed for no reason.

Sitting across from him, Amya, who was just recovering from her serious injury, joked, "Haha, young people these days have such poor health, catching a cold so quickly?"

Kefas touched his nose, ignoring the old man's teasing.

……

While the two younger generation members watched the show from the sidelines, the grudges between the older generation began to slowly unfold in their conversation.

The only saving grace is that not many people will know this secret.

After the two legendary powerhouses released their auras, the officers and soldiers in the legion who were training nearby wisely left the area and even helped to seal off the scene.

"Hmph, you damned elf! Instead of running away, you're walking towards me!"

"Today I will avenge all the injustices I have suffered!"

"Repent, Flam!"

"Circuit overload one million horsepower! Alchemy Explosive Fist!" Just as Russell was shouting some inexplicable lines and his magic power began to surge wildly, Flam retorted without backing down, and took out her staff to create layers of defensive spells in front of her.

This is not a simple barrier-type spell, but a counter-attack defensive spell developed and improved by Flam over many years.

Simply put, it's a method of using a technique to negate an attack.

It's best suited for dealing with guys who like to charge right at you.

"Ha, what a clueless fool. If it weren't for me and Hinmel, you would have been hacked to death by the royal army long ago!"

Upon hearing this, Russell, who was already poised to attack, instantly closed in on Flam at an unimaginable speed, and then unleashed a furious punch accompanied by undisguised killing intent.

The next moment, Roland, who had no choice but to open the Moon Spirit Essence Liquid and the Thorn Rune Stone to activate his turtle form, witnessed what a top-tier powerhouse was like.

The aftershock of just one heavy punch and defensive spell almost blew him and Kalia off the training field.

If he hadn't reacted quickly, immediately shielding Kalia behind him, simultaneously activating the Wind King Barrier to manipulate the airflow and disperse the power of the aftershocks, and finally using Moon Spirit Essence and Thunder Thorns to form a defensive barrier, he and Kalia would probably already be on the streets of Isfar by now.

Fortunately, Roland's actions ensured that the two could continue to watch the drama unfold.

Moreover, thanks to the powerful aftershocks, the damage reflection function from Thunder Thorns, which hadn't been activated for a long time, could be used again.

Furthermore, Roland, a good student and junior, also felt that the situation seemed to be getting out of control.

At least Russell really didn't care about his surroundings; that punch was undoubtedly his full strength.

Looking at the hole, which was now split in two and the cracks had spread for hundreds of meters, forming a bottomless ravine, one could tell how heavy that punch had been.

If it weren't for Flam's special technique, which greatly weakened the power of that punch, the training ground would probably have been more than just cracked.

"THURISAZ!"

As Roland murmured, a massive pillar of lightning, powerful enough to deter even a ninth-ring legend, suddenly appeared before Flam and Russell without warning.

After creating another large crater in the already cracked training ground, Roland walked up to the two who had temporarily stopped fighting due to the unexpected situation.

Roland sighed and looked helplessly at Russell, then gestured with his eyes for Ms. Fram to remain silent for the time being.

After confirming that the flat-chested elf had given up, Roland said to Russell, "Teacher, didn't you say you wouldn't hold it against Ms. Flam?"

"Why do you all look like you want to kill someone after just a few words?"

Russell scoffed, turning his head away as he said, "I just underestimated the elves' concept of time."

"Three hundred years have passed, and this guy still hasn't realized his mistake."

Frum instinctively wanted to retort, but was silenced by a glare from Kalia standing to the side.

He could only shrink back and stand aside with a "= w =" expression, enduring the interrogation of his beloved disciple's gaze.

After seeing Roland and Kalia easily subdue the annoying elf, Russell smiled with satisfaction and then began to tell Roland about their feud.

"Sigh... I didn't want to either, but this guy still has that annoying tone every time he opens his mouth."

"I told you, the last time I changed bodies was three hundred years ago."

"That was the experiment I took the most seriously recently."

"Because I finally found a way to slow down the decay of the soul, and I tried every means to gather a set of materials to create my current body."

"But just when everything was ready, and even my soul transfer experiment was successful, all that was left was the next stage of spirit-body fusion."

"And somehow, this guy and that guy named Himmer somehow broke into my secret laboratory!"

"They also brought three royal court lords and three thousand elite royal court soldiers!"

"Most importantly, the soul stone that I stole from the Demon King's court has been discovered!"

"Then came the part about the 'life-saving grace' this guy mentioned. After discovering my actions, the royal court intensified its pursuit, and even the Demon King began to participate in the hunt."

"If it weren't for the two of them, I might not have survived."

"But...didn't those two idiots realize that if they hadn't broken into my lab and rendered my covert operations ineffective, Wang Tingjun wouldn't have been able to find me!"

After hearing the general outline of what happened, Roland looked at Flam, who was shrinking back, with a subtle expression. Hmm... it seems Russell was telling the truth.

And then there are Soul Stones, those things sound extraordinary.

Just as Roland was trying to figure out how to smooth things over, the demon king on his waist suddenly woke up: "Alright! No wonder I went to all that trouble to hunt you down!"

"You damned bastard! So it was you who stole my Soul Stone!"
