Reject me, you damn woman.

Four years, always together!

Lynn quickly caught the key words.

Such harsh conditions, considering how much Historia dislikes him now, can he agree to it?

Wouldn't this be a severe rejection of myself?

Then he cursed himself for being a toad that wanted to eat swan meat.

I couldn't find a way to get rejected, and now it's delivered to my door. This is so thoughtful.

Thinking of this, Lin En no longer hesitated and said directly:

"So, Elena, are you interested in forming a study group with me?"

"Hey, me?"

Elena was a little flattered, but immediately said:

"Thank you, Lynn, but I've already agreed to form a study group with Historia."

"It doesn't matter. Two people are too lonely. Three people are also good."

Lin En turned to Historia, who had not raised her head, and said with a smile:

"Isn't that right, Historia-san?"

"Okay, for Elena's sake."

"What a shame. Then I will... eh?"

What did she just say?

Chapter 16: Isn’t this a rejection?

Just as Lin En was about to say the face-saving words he had prepared long ago, he suddenly looked at Historia opposite him in surprise, opened his mouth, but no sound came out.

Did she agree?

No, can you agree with this?

Is she so good-tempered?

Wait, let's analyze it calmly. Historia said that she agreed to it for Historia's sake. Maybe it was just an impulsive behavior. I should give her a calm buffer period and explain the pros and cons.

"Historia-san, do you really want to form a study group with me?"

Lynn asked.

"Why are you so long-winded? I've already told you that I did this because of your performance in the arcane class and for Elena's sake..."

"No, no, no, Historia, you are a little impulsive. You may not understand the meaning of study group."

"Isn't it just studying together? What else can it mean?"

Historia was a little confused, but Linn interrupted the girl and said seriously:

"Study groups are not just about staying together all the time."

"Instead, during these four years, we will ignore our wealth, status, and talents, and always study together and make progress together. We will always be in the same study group until graduation separates us. Do you really want to agree to my joining?"

???

A series of question marks appeared above Historia's head.

This guy, is he really talking about the study group? Why does it feel like something is wrong?

Also, why do I always feel that my heartbeat has become faster?

No, I can't look at this man anymore.

"Stop... stop talking nonsense, you bastard. What's the point of letting you join the study group? Stop talking nonsense!"

"Historia, please think about it again..."

Lynn wanted to make one last struggle.

"Shut up, don't say anymore, I've already said it for Elena's sake, are you annoying!"

Of course it's annoying, how could you agree to that!

Lynn's mentality was about to explode.

What went wrong that prevented the other party from hating me?

Is her relationship with Elena so good now?

Or was it that his own charming face, which was too attractive, stabbed him in the back again?

No, calm down. If these heroines only looked at the face, then the original owner would not have become the stepping stone of Zijinhua. There must be something wrong somewhere.

Wasn't my performance in the arcane class bad enough?

At this moment, Elena suddenly came over from the side and added the final blow to the conversation: "Didn't Lin En also help everyone in the arcane class? It should be our honor to be in the same study group with you."

"Me, help you?"

Lin En even suspected that he had heard it wrongly.

However, Elena's answer completely plunged Lin En's heart, which had originally held a glimmer of hope, into the abyss:

"Yes, Lin En ignored the consumption and deliberately showed the form of his magic net for everyone to refer to. Xia and I gained a lot."

"Alina, stop talking!"

Historia interrupted Elena with a blushing face.

You blush like a bubble teapot!

Hearing this, Lin En felt a black screen before his eyes.

Is there a possibility that I just want to show off and it's not for your reference at all?

However, Elena did not give him any chance to explain, and blurted out a series of compliments:

"Lin En is not only willing to help others, but also never asks for anything in return. He is truly a role model for us."

"Besides, Lin En is so talented. We are so happy to have you join us. Don't worry, we will not reject you!"

Don't worry, we won't reject you!

These words of praise were like a heavy blow, and the final decisive declaration was like a sharp blade, piercing Lynn's heart.

He never knew that gentle praise coming from that 36-degree little mouth could be so cold and stinging.

At this moment, a hint suddenly jumped out in his eyes:

【Congratulations to the host for being rejected successfully! 】

[The total amount of magic power has been increased, and the rewards have been issued. 】

Lin En was confused at first, but soon realized that the source of this reward was probably because of his persistence, which forced Historia and Elena to reject his proposal to join the study group.

Is this okay?

But if you think about it carefully, isn't this also a form of rejection?

Seeing that both parties were silent, Elena hurried out to smooth things over:

"That's great, then we'll be part of the same team for the next four years!"

In response, Historia and Lynn snorted at the same time and turned their heads in the other direction.

But this reaction can be considered as acquiescence.

Elena, who saw all this, smiled with great satisfaction.

Although the two princes have very different personalities, they are surprisingly similar in terms of their childishness.

It’s just that I have obviously put in a lot of effort to make Xia accept Lin En. Their relationship has improved, and I should be happy. But why do I have some weird feelings in my heart?

Chapter 17: There is such a good thing

Putting aside these distracting thoughts, Elena submitted the list of team members on behalf of the three people. After a short break, the new course began.

Eden College is not one of those extreme magic colleges that pursues arcane research to the extreme. When it comes to cultivating talents, the college has always focused on all-round development.

Therefore, after the arcane classes, there were courses such as literature, history, and arithmetic.

The newly formed study group went very smoothly...glorious crash.

Lynn posed and began to daydream, Historia laid on the table without any concealment and played dumb, only Elena was diligently completing her homework.

In this regard, the teachers are completely angry but dare not say anything.

Even among the teaching staff of Eden College, there are relatively few masters like Gust. Some teachers are not even arcanists. They are hired as teachers only because they are outstanding in certain aspects. They have to be more careful in doing things.

Among this duo sitting in the first row, who are obviously playing badly, one of them might be the future crown prince of another country, and the other one is even more amazing because that is the crown prince of his own country.

Whenever the teacher on the podium was speaking at a very exciting part, he would look down and see the two people occupying the front row and acting terrible, and he would feel a deep sense of despair about his future teaching career.

But when he saw Elena's bright eyes again, a sense of motivation would immediately surge in his heart.

Lin En saw all this and couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

I thought that Elena, who was called the "witch who heals people's hearts" in the original work, was worthy of her. She could even conquer this random teacher whose name I couldn't remember at all.

You have to be careful, keep a distance from the other party, and never be soft-hearted when you plan to backstab the other party in the future.

"Student Lin, this is for you."

During the break, when Historia left for a short while, Elena suddenly handed a brand new notebook to Lynn with both hands with a sweet smile.

"what is this?"

Lynn was a little confused.

"This is the notes I took when the teachers were giving lectures today. You seemed a little distracted during class today. Maybe you were tired from the arcane class. Take this and read it."

"Thanks, but no need."

Lin En returned the notebook in his hand and rejected the other party's kindness.

"I'm sorry to disappoint you, Elena. I'm the type who won't organize my notes even if I go back. All the knowledge is already in my head."

"Oh, that's not what I meant,"

Realizing she was misunderstood, Elena waved her hands.

"This notebook is not lent to Lin En, but given to you."

"Give it to me, what will you do then?"

Lin En couldn't help but feel a little curious.

"I still have some,"

Elena shyly took out another notebook with an orange cover from the hole in the table:

"Actually, because the teachers explained things very clearly and in detail, I made three copies of my notes, and one copy is for Historia-sama, hehehe~"

Ugh!

At this moment, it was as if a sharp arrow called morality pierced Lynn's heart, which was filled with thoughts of how to backstab Elena.

Wait, you can’t do it yourself, but you can seek help from others.

The villains in the original novel are not just himself, and Lynn is never alone.

For example, in this class, if the biggest stepping stone is me, then the second biggest one seems to be...

"Student Lin, Teacher Ken wants you to come to the office."

A faint blue magical message exploded in front of Lynn, and a female voice without any emotion was automatically played out of it.

And a smile unconsciously appeared on the corner of Lin En's lips.

Just when I was worrying about how to get a chance to spend time with the other party in private, the second biggest stepping stone came to my door.

He immediately stood up and walked out of the classroom.
