"Olivia...classmate, long time no see." Orson said this and greeted her.
Olivia Eisenberg, as the eldest daughter of the Eisenberg family, a classmate of Orson in the academy, and the second place in the entrance examination, Olivia left a deep impression on Orson.
As far as I can remember, Olivia tried to challenge me in the qualifying round but failed.
"Have you forgotten, Orson, that class, except for you and me, no one else scored above 90 points." Olivia said with a smile. "So it's not that this class is too bad, but that you, Orson, are too good."
Olivia's score at that time was 95.3 points, which was much higher than Lit and Lianka's current scores. When she thought she would be the first, she saw Orson with a full score at the top of the list.
It is said that Orson is a huge mountain weighing on this class of students. When mentioning this class of students, Orson is always a topic that cannot be avoided.
Especially Olivia, who was assigned to the same class as Orson and whose score was closest to Orson's.
She was under the greatest pressure.
But Olivia was not crushed by the pressure, nor did she hate Orson for bringing her pressure. Instead, she developed a strange feeling towards Orson.
It’s just like, when most people go to school, they always inexplicably look a few more times at the students in the class who are good at studying and good-looking.
Litt, who was standing aside, looked at Orson with a look of surprise.
Wow, it turns out Orson is the real Versailles.
"This should be Mr. Lit, right?" Olivia looked at Lit, smiled, and then extended her hand. "From now on, I should call you Junior Lit."
"Um... Hello, senior Olivia." Li Te nodded and shook hands with Olivia.
"Olivia, where's your sister?" Orson said, pointing to the ranking list. "Lianka is second. You should have brought Lianka with you this time."
"Yeah." Olivia nodded. "Mr. Orson is so eager to meet your fiancée, I am really a little hurt..."
Hearing the word "fiancée", Lit's ears perked up and he became alert.
"Not really, it's just that Lianka took second place this time, and I guess she also had your help, Olivia..."
"Oh, of course."
Olivia said this and moved her body, and then Lianca, who was hiding behind her, was exposed.
"Wow! Sister, what are you doing..." Lianka's face turned red, and there was a hint of panic in her tone. "Didn't you agree not to let me show up?"
"There's nothing I can do. Orson wants to see you. This should be the first time you meet your fiancé. Although it's not a suitable place to be alone, it's not bad, isn't it?" Olivia said with a smile.
"Hmm..." Lianka blushed and looked at Orson and Litt with a little anger.
"My name is Lianka. Orson, you have been teaching Lit all along, right? He got first place because you were helping him, right?"
"Yeah." Orson nodded without comment.
I don’t know why, even though it was our first meeting, I always felt that my fiancée seemed very dissatisfied with me.
In the original book, Lianka took the initiative to cancel her engagement with Orson after he fell from grace, and later established a bond with Lit and became one of Lit's harem.
This is a good opportunity for Lit and Lianka to get to know each other and have some contact in advance, which will also make it easier for him to take the initiative to find Lianka to cancel the engagement in the future.
After all, when the engagement was made, Duke Prussia must have been attracted by the bloodline of the Stranik family. Since he had no blood relationship with Lucius, he was already a cuckoo in the nest. Now that the original owner is back, they can discuss whether the engagement can be changed to Litt's.
"Well, Lit, let me introduce you. This is Lianka, or my fiancée as they say."
Thinking of this, Orson began to introduce the two people.
"Lianka, this is Lit, the child that our father lost outside and has just returned to the family recently."
The two shook hands reluctantly, then loosened their hands in an instant and took a step back.
Orson looked at the somewhat awkward atmosphere between the two people and didn't know what to do.
No, weren't you a couple in the original novel? Why is the atmosphere so cold now?
It’s okay that Lianka is cold, but why does even Leeteuk, who is always introverted and shy, look so bad?
Litt was staring at Lianka at the moment. The girl in front of him looked very arrogant and definitely looked down on him, a little noble who had just returned from the countryside.
Of course, the most important thing is that she is actually Orson’s brother’s fiancée!
In other words, Brother Orson will marry her in the future!
After marrying her, Brother Orson will separate from me to take care of the family, right? !
No, this is unacceptable!
As Litt thought about this, he felt that Lianka in front of him was becoming more and more annoying.
Chapter 40: Business Compliments
Lianka was looking at Orson and Litt, feeling very unhappy. According to her estimated scores, she would definitely be ranked first in the qualifying round, and then she would just have to wait for others to challenge her.
But now I see that there are people with higher scores than me, and they were taught by Orson!
Thinking of this, Lianka's deep pride made her feel as if she was severely humiliated.
Then she looked at Leeteuk.
"Leet, you are the first pair, right?"
"Yeah." Litt nodded.
"Okay, then I'll challenge you in the qualifying round!" Lianka said, pointing at Litt.
"Eh? Me?" Li Te was a little surprised when he heard that.
"Yeah, what's the matter, don't you dare?"
"No, it's just..."
"Then stop talking nonsense and hesitate like a noble!" Lianka said, and then walked into the school gate. "See you at the martial arts arena. I hope you don't back down when the qualifying competition starts."
"Ah, of course. In order to keep the first position, you can't back down." Lianka snorted coldly, then slowly walked away.
"I'm sorry if I was a little rude, but I have to go first." Olivia said, bowing to Lit and Orson to apologize, and then followed Lianka's footsteps.
"Lite, that Lianka has the strength of the fourth level. Do you want to fight her?" Orson asked softly after Lianka walked away.
"She should be the best among the students in this class. She is the second best. If you refuse to compete with her and give her your place, you can also be admitted as the second best."
Orson said this not only because he thought it would be difficult for Lit to defeat Lianka, but also to prevent the relationship between the two from deteriorating because of this conflict.
"Orson, I am the one you taught
You are here, right?" Litt said, looking at Orson.
"Yeah." Orson nodded.
"If I refuse, Orson will lose face, right?"
"Others would say that people taught by Orson would take shortcuts and look for opportunities, and they have no real skills or knowledge."
"Not really..." Orson said, shaking his head. "To be honest, I don't care much about reputation."
"As long as you can grow up safely, that's enough for me."
Lit said, "Orson, you taught me before that flowers in a greenhouse cannot grow big. That's why you asked me to go to the forest to face the beast alone that day."
"Now, are you going to treat me like a flower in a greenhouse again?"
"No... I just..." Orson said this, not knowing how to explain, and then he could only sigh. "Forget it, since it's your idea, Li Te, I will definitely respect it."
"However, Lit, you have to be careful. A fourth-level human is not comparable to a third-level beast like the Wolf King."
"I know." Li Te smiled and pointed to his head. "It's just that I can use my brain. My brain is not bad at all."
"Okay." Orson nodded after hearing this, and then rushed to the training ground with Litt.
The martial arts arena was much quieter than the crowds of people yesterday.
There were only a thousand students and a hundred invigilators to supervise.
In the ranking of the qualifying round, the eight hundred students who had taken the exam were ranked in the top eight hundred according to their scores, while the two hundred students nominated by the nobles were randomly ranked in the bottom two hundred.
Generally speaking, the first challenge is initiated by the nominating students to the test-takers.
Many recommended students are no less capable than the candidates, but they are recommended just because they don't want to take the exam and their family happens to have vacancies.
These people attach great importance to ranking, so they will choose suitable opponents at the beginning and take away their ranking.
And some recommended students are there purely to accompany their masters to study and serve them. It doesn't matter if they can just graduate, or even fail to graduate in the end.
Then, as expected, after everyone arrived, the nominating students started to attack the test takers first.
And these are just small additions to the qualifying round.
The real main course was served right at the beginning.
As the second-ranked Lianneka challenged the first-ranked Leeteuk.
And Lit gladly accepted Lianka's challenge.
Orson and Olivia sat in the audience, watching their brother/sister's competition, and they felt worried.
In the ring, Lianka looked at Lit with a contemptuous tone.
"I didn't expect you to actually accept the challenge. I thought you were a coward."
"Let me make it clear first. I'm a fourth-level warrior. If we start fighting, don't blame me for not using enough force."
Lit remained indifferent to Lianka's provocation.
She knew that Lianka wanted to stir up her emotions and make her angry so that she could find her weakness.
"Your plan doesn't work on me." Lit shook his head and looked at Lianka.
"Is that so?" Lianka lowered her head.
Just when Lit was still wondering what she was going to do, she suddenly drew the sword from her waist and stabbed at Lit.
In the qualifying round, both sides have magic armor specially made by the academy, which can be used to resist fatal attacks.
Once the magic armor is broken, one side will be defeated.
Lianka was very fast, and even though Lit was on guard, he was still a beat slower.
Fortunately, I made a prediction in advance and made up for the speed gap.
Just barely dodged Lianka's sword.
"Good reaction." Lianka said this, and without pausing, she changed her stabbing into a slash and slashed towards Litt.
Lit leaned back, dodged Lianka's swing, and hit back.
Although she didn't say anything, her heart was already filled with anger.
Brother Orson! You're actually going to marry such an arrogant, rude and disrespectful female creature!?
She vented all her frustrations on the fight, then slashed at Lianka with her sword.
Lianka quickly parried, and then easily blocked Litt's sword.
The distance between the two widened again.
"It seems you don't like me." Lianka saw the expression on Lit's face when he swung the sword just now, "Coincidentally, I don't like you either."
Follow
Afterwards, the two figures fought again.
Although Litt was only at the third level of strength, he relied on his experience gained from fighting among wolves and his moves were fierce, and he was able to fight Lianka on equal terms.
Even Orson in the audience couldn't help but stand up and applaud Litt.
Should I say he is worthy of being the protagonist? Challenging higher levels is as easy as eating and drinking.
Fortunately, I didn't provoke Lit before, otherwise Lit would be able to jump one level to challenge Lianka now, and it would be easy for him to jump four levels and kill me in the future, right?
Having said that, considering that Olivia is still around, Orson really can't take sides too obviously.
We still need to promote each other commercially.
"Lianka has reached the fourth-level warrior level at such a young age. She must have a bright future."
"No, no, it's Litt who is the one. He has only been home for a short time, but he has already reached the third level. He can even fight with the fourth level Lianka. Litt is still more talented."
However, the two of them forgot that just a year ago, in the same place, the battle between two people, one at level six and the other at level five, was even more exciting than this.
