Man is infinite, and his ambition is to slay the dragon

"The winners of Group C are Kurogane-kun and Shabu-san from Akatsuki Academy—"

"Tsk!"

Before Dongtang Daohua finished speaking, Qige immediately curled his lips, which scared her: "Student Qige?"

"Nothing, I just heard a troublesome name and felt a little unhappy for a moment, it's not directed at you." Sieg stuffed two pieces of sushi into his mouth, chewed them quickly a few times and swallowed them, "I really hope Kurogane can help me get rid of her... What about Group D?"

"The winners of Group D are...Arisuin-san and Shinomiya-san from Akatsuki Academy. Shizuku-san was eliminated by Arisuin-san."

The third Pojun student who fell behind appeared.

Kurogane Jushizuku is a B-class knight, and judging from her magic manipulation alone, she can be said to be the strongest person in Pojun Academy. In terms of overall combat power, she is not much inferior to A-class.

She was defeated by Arisuin Nagi? Sieg remembered that Arisuin Nagi was only a D-rank knight.

"......Arisuin has hidden his strength."

"It seems so. Although I didn't watch that game, from the subsequent rumors...it seems that the league has planned to make Arisuin-san an A-rank knight."

Class A.

This means that his actual level is also beyond the norm.

"Also, there was something strange about the match played by Shionomiya."

"Is it weird?"

"I only found out afterwards that his opponent in the second round was Pharmacist-san."

Pharmacist Wuzi.

The third-year representative of Lianzhen Academy, known as the best doctor in Japan. Although he is only a B-level swordsman, he has always been considered to have an A-level level. He is also the strongest water magician in Japan.

Such a good player lost to Shinomiya Tianyin?

"Is he strong?"

"No... Yakushi-san gave up. I heard that the patients she was in charge of all showed abnormal conditions, so she had to rush back to deal with the patients' problems. She had no choice but to give up - just before the competition with Shinomiya-san started."

Before the game started, the patients he was in charge of suddenly had problems collectively.

Zigg frowned: "--cheating outside the venue?"

"It's not impossible, but the possibility is very low because the distance is too far, so there is no way to confirm whether it was done by Shionomiya-san." Toudou Daohua also frowned, "But no matter what, the group stage ends here, and the quarterfinals will start tomorrow."

"If everything goes well, the day after tomorrow... you will play against Stella in the semi-finals."

"Yeah, that's true. If I were to talk about the matches I cared about in this Sword Festival, the only ones were the one with her and the one with Kurogane."

Hearing this, Dongtang Daohua raised his eyebrows slightly: "Oh? So you don't care about the competition with me?"

"Well... not really... it's just -"

Zigg seemed a little flustered, and just as he was trying to find some words to explain -

"Click!"

The door that should have been locked was opened directly, and Shabu, who was almost naked and dressed in an apron, appeared in his room again.

"Sieg! I'm here to see you, take off your clothes quickly--"

"I told you to get out of here!"

Reflexively, Sieg picked up the chopsticks and smashed them directly on her forehead!

On one side——

"Mr. Sieg..."

Looking at Shabu, who was wearing a naked apron and was knocked to the ground by a chopstick, Dongtang Daohua's body began to tremble slightly for some reason, and there was a hint of strangeness in his voice.

"Please explain to me why Shabu-san would come to your room at this time without any clothes on."

102. Help look after the house for a while

Late at night, a blonde girl who was wearing only an apron and no other clothes and had an incredibly good figure came to the room of a boy of the same age alone.

In this situation, Dongtang Daohua really didn't want to think in a bad direction. She was also sure that Zieg was definitely not a person with bad character - but this situation really made it difficult for her not to think in a bad direction!

Feeling the slight intimidation from Dongtang Daohua's trembling smile, Zigg just shook his head and held back Sarah who was about to pounce on him: "Because this guy is

103. I am your girlfriend, you take off your clothes

Sarah's hotel room was not on the same floor as Sieg's. Fortunately, there were usually no people walking in the hotel corridors, so there was no need to worry about being seen on the street and causing trouble.

After returning to the room he had visited yesterday and throwing Sarah onto the bed, Sieg sighed slightly, "After this, you better behave yourself. I'll give you as many models as you want, but don't keep pestering me. With your weak physique, which is comparable to that of an elementary school student, I was really afraid that I would have crushed your bones before."

"Um... No way..."

It was unknown whether it was because of her good recovery ability or her obsession, but Sarah climbed up from the bed and grabbed the hem of Zigg's clothes: "I...can't live without you...nude model, I can't live without you."

"...Can I go and get Kuroki to replace me now?"

"Really? Thank you!"

Seeing Sarah suddenly perked up, Zigg couldn't hold back any longer.

How much she wanted him and Ikki Kurogane to help her complete the painting called "Messiah"!

"I was just kidding, just give up."

"Well......."

The light in Sarah's eyes faded at a speed visible to the naked eye, and her whole body exuded an atmosphere similar to a bonfire that was extinguished by a basin of water.

Seeing her like this, Zieg gently pushed her hand away and sat down beside her bed, leaning against the wall. "Anyway, the student council president is helping to look after my room, so it doesn't matter if I go back a little later. Tell me why you are so persistent in wanting me to be the prototype of that painting."

"I heard that [Messiah] means savior, but neither me nor Kurogane has anything to do with savior, right? Besides, if you reveal your identity, you can get as many models as you want."

"No, it has to be you. You are the most suitable I have ever seen. And... you are more suitable than the Uncrowned Sword King." Sarah looked very serious. "Messiah... is the unfinished painting of my bastard father."

"Your father? He is also a painter?"

"Ah."

This is not something particularly difficult to guess. If the daughter is a painter, then there is a high possibility that her parents are also painters. After all, if one is not exposed to painting from childhood, it is difficult to persist in the path of painting based on interest.

But unlike Sarah, who is a world-class painter, her father is not a famous painter. His painting skills are very poor, and one can tell at a glance that he has not received any professional guidance. His use of colors also makes people question the painter's sense of perception.

Therefore, Sarah's father, as a painter, remained unknown throughout his life and did not leave any achievements.

In contrast, Sarah had already surpassed her father in both painting skills and fame. In terms of the content of her paintings, Sarah believed that she would defeat her father with an overwhelming advantage - except for one painting.

"[Messiah], my father died on the canvas in order to complete this painting, and he never finished the painting until his death, leaving the face of the Messiah forever empty."

"I am his daughter and have an obligation to help him complete this painting, but... no matter how I fill it in, no matter how hard I try, I feel that I cannot depict the perfect Messiah."

This is not a question of technique.

Sarah's father poured all his energy into completing the Messiah, and anyone who saw the painting could feel the man's passion, still burning after his death, and could be sure that passion was still burning like a fire in the ashes.

Sarah was already a world-famous painter. In terms of fame, painting skills, and sensitivity, she surpassed her father in everything.

But she still couldn't beat him.

She was unwilling, but at the same time she was longing for him.

She had an idea since she was a child - she wanted to paint a picture that would be no less beautiful than the unfinished Messiah. She wanted to be a painter who could paint that kind of picture.

Therefore, completing the paintings left by her father was not just a simple way for Sarah to pay tribute to her father.

Instead, it was the painter Sarah Bradley who risked her own dignity to challenge her father.

"The painting shows the Messiah standing in the flames, burning all the demons around him."

"I have tried many ways, but no matter how I describe it, I can't perfectly depict the expression that the Messiah should have in that situation. And when I saw you and the Uncrowned Sword King, I suddenly realized that you two are the Messiah I have always dreamed of."

"Especially you. Compared to the Uncrowned Sword King, you really have a feeling of [carving out a way out of countless demons] and [standing fearlessly among the demons]. You are really suitable for [Messiah]. Although you still lack some of the gentleness of a simple girl, that part can be learned from the Uncrowned Sword King."

Sarah said as she moved closer to Zig.

"Please...be my nude model. I'll do anything you ask of me. As long as it allows me to complete my last work, I'll do anything."

"Uh......"

Looking at Sarah who was about to climb down from the bed, Sieg suddenly felt as if he was being pressed down by Tina's gravity field.

However, after pushing her hand away again, Zieg sighed and said, "I roughly understand the whole story. To be honest, I don't really mind being a model, but at least let me wear clothes, right?"

"No, you have to take it off." Sarah insisted, "I can't feel that way with clothes on. I want to see your body rushing out of hell, not your body wrapped in clothes - what do you think of this?"

"Like this? What?"

"The reason you don't want to take off your clothes in front of me is because our relationship is not close enough. I heard that men and women who are close to each other can be honest with each other."

Zigg thought for a moment: "It seems that's what is said, so you want to have a good relationship with me?"

"No. Men and women in that kind of relationship are usually called lovers or couples, so what I mean is that I'll be your girlfriend, and you take off your clothes now." Sarah said as she put her hand on the waistband of Zig's pants that he had just fixed a while ago, "Of course, you can also take off all my clothes, I don't mind."

"This is not a question of whether I care or not. You are really a pervert!"

Zieg quickly slapped her hand away: "Besides, I have no plans to find a girlfriend, not now or in the future, so just give up on this idea."

"...Then lover."

"Get out of here!"

(I really shouldn’t have tried to make her give up with words! I should have just killed her!)

Zigg's heart was filled with anger.

And at this moment——

"Oh, didn't I come at a bad time?"

Suddenly, a voice that Zieg had only heard once or twice was heard at the door, and then a tall, feminine and handsome man appeared in the house.

"Arisu-in..."

Sieg revealed the identity of the visitor.

The former representative of Pojun Academy, now the representative of Akatsuki Academy - Arisuin Nagi - looked at the scene that could easily be misunderstood, and a rather amused smile appeared on her face: "It seems that I should avoid it for a while? Maybe it would be better to wait until the two of you finish your love affair?"

"She and I don't have any relationship of that kind at all, so please don't give me any misunderstandings about that!"

104. Don’t pollute our agreement

"Hmm~~~~So that's what's going on."

After a while, after Sieg finally explained the whole thing to Arisuin Nagi, the man who looked a bit like a girl finally showed an expression of understanding: "No wonder you two acted like that. I thought you two were already lovers and were planning to have some fun at night when no one is around."

"Which eye did you use to see that she and I were lovers? Can I help you to blind it?"

Zieg glared at him and said, "Now that you understand the situation, I'll leave this to you. I still have things to deal with over there."

"Well, okay, provided Lily is willing to let go."

Just as Arisuin Nagi said, Sarah was now holding Sieg's hand, and even her whole body was pressed against his arm unconsciously, allowing Sieg to feel the heaviness of her front armor at close range.

To be honest, there should be no man who can refuse such a sexy blonde girl hugging him so intimately.

But Zig was that exception.

"Boom!"

He pulled his hands out of Sarah's arms, grabbed her by the neck like a chicken, and threw her onto Arisuin Nagi: "I'll leave it to you. I'm leaving now."

"Don't go!"

Sarah didn't know where the power came from, but she turned around as soon as she landed and grabbed Sieg's ankle in a very indecent posture, and the front armor was crushed into two large round cakes.

"model!"

"..."
