Many students who returned to the classroom saw that their original seats were occupied and immediately went up to start arguing.

At first it was just an argument among a few people, but as more and more students came to the scene after hearing the noise, a confrontation gradually formed between the Demon King's Academy and the Holy Maiden's Academy.

The students who were forced to follow Rogers couldn't help but feel an unreasonable sense of urgency after seeing the talent he displayed not long ago.

This sense of urgency drives them to become better and earn more credits.

The students who followed Alice thought that if they were left behind by the group of people from the Demon King Academy, wouldn't that damage the honor of the Saint? What qualifications would they have to follow the Saint?

Both parties did not retreat because of their respective beliefs. At the beginning, they tried their best to restrain themselves because Alice was not far away.

But as the conflict continued to expand and spread, and the number of people on both sides continued to increase, the strong smell of gunpowder could no longer be suppressed.

“Once the number of people with intense emotions increases, the individual with boiling emotions will have an illusion that he is invincible and that nothing is impossible.

"And this will once again add fuel to the passion of the group."

Rogers was chewing an apple and discussing with Elena the situation in the front row with great interest.

Until a harsh word rang in his ears, making his face darken.

"As expected of a student of the Demon King Academy! Your character is almost catching up with Rogers Brid!"

The moment the words fell, the scene fell silent.

The Demon King Academy student who was being pointed at and humiliated had his face flushed, veins on his forehead began to bulge, and every blood vessel outlined his anger.

"You foul-mouthed bastard! How dare you humiliate me like this! You are more like Rogers Brid!"

His voice was low and he gritted his teeth, his muscles were trembling slightly with anger, and he seemed to be ready to attack at any moment.

"You damn despicable person! You are more like Rogers Brid!"

The student from the Holy Maiden Academy who was retorted could hardly contain her anger and roared indignantly.

Chapter 38: The Saint's Thoughts and Alina's Determination

"enough!"

Following a low and stern shout, the scene instantly fell silent.

Just because the voice came from the saint.

Alice frowned slightly, her face seemed covered with frost, and walked towards the two groups of people.

Everyone's impression of the saint has always been one of gentleness, as if she is a being who will never get angry, and being around her gives people a feeling of security and peace.

The sudden rise in momentum at this moment made everyone feel at a loss.

Faced with the awe-inspiring majesty and oppressive aura, feelings of guilt and remorse arose in the hearts of many people.

They were all nervous, waiting to see how the Saint would stop and criticize this irrational and impolite dispute.

"How many of you know how to play Logarithm?"

When the next sentence came, everyone's faces instantly turned from nervousness to full of doubts.

"Are you referring to... the Rogers chess game invented by Chief Rogers?" A student from the Demon King Academy asked tentatively.

In this world where entertainment activities are not particularly rich, the appearance of Logsy chess has already spread exponentially throughout the north and south of the empire.

Perhaps there are still some civilian students who have not had much contact with it, but almost all the children of nobles know its rules, and many even claim to be proficient in it.

In addition, during the free time in the first two days, many students would take the initiative to bring the chess boards they brought from home to play chess with others to pass the time.

"Yes." Alice nodded in agreement, then continued:

“Classroom seats are public, and normally they belong to whoever occupies them first.

“It’s just that we have just started school, and we haven’t formed a default rule yet, and it’s not clear whether the seat ownership after class is over will still belong to the occupant of the first class by default.

"But no matter what, you shouldn't insult your classmates or even try to use violence!"

When she said this, her voice became even deeper. The two students who had just used "Logos" to humiliate each other couldn't help but lower their heads in shame when they met the saint's reproachful gaze.

“Since competition is inevitable, I thought, why don’t we compete through games?

“Both colleges can nominate candidates, and then allocate ownership of the front row seats based on the win-loss ratio.

“After that, we can rotate them one by one so that every student has the opportunity to sit in the front.

"What do you think?"

After Alice finished saying this, she glanced at Rogers in the back row without leaving a trace, and a thoughtful gleam flashed in her eyes.

After hearing this, the two groups of students discussed with each other in a low voice for a moment, and soon agreed with Alice's decision, while also not forgetting to praise the saint's justice and wisdom.

Although some people brought chess pieces and chess boards for playing during breaks, there were only a few of them, and the two sides could only put together three chess boards, so they had to discuss and take turns to go forward.

Eunice, who was following behind Alice, had a suspicious look on her face. Looking at Alice's expression which was obviously still a little angry, she felt that the saint didn't seem to be angry because of the conflict between the two parties.

The saint's specific mention of Rogers Chess gave Eunice a bad feeling and suspicion, and also made her come up with an extremely absurd guess...

"Are you feeling unwell?" Alice asked with concern when she saw Eunice shaking her head.

"No!" Eunice answered immediately, looking a little guilty and not daring to look at Alice. Then she took the initiative to say, "I think my chess skills are pretty good, and it's just right to earn more good positions for our college."

After saying that, she quickly stepped forward as if she was running away, and volunteered to be one of the first players to play chess.

When the students of Hilmi Academy turned their violent clashes into chess competitions, Rogers, who was watching from the back row, showed a bored expression: "Tsk... I thought I would see a group fight."

"It seems like you're really looking forward to someone fighting because of you." Elena glanced at Rogers coldly.

"You are slandering me blatantly. I just want to find some fun in my boring life." Rogers threw the apple core into the garbage bag at his feet, then picked up the feather pen to continue sorting out the knowledge points.

"These fights will soon spread to you." Elina chuckled sarcastically.

Rogers looked up and exchanged glances with Elena for a moment, then looked carefully at what was happening in the front row.

In the college line, Alice's leadership and organizational skills have been grown and honed in the constant competition among the colleges.

However, according to the normal plot development, the competition chapter would not begin until a few weeks later. He did not expect that Alice was already using her identity to demonstrate leadership at this time.

After carefully studying for a while, Rogers lowered his head again to absorb enough ink with his feather pen and continued to prepare to write. At the same time, he said to Elina: "Then you can help me later. It will be considered a request."

"Your ex-girlfriend is defending you so much. If you do this, it will be very disappointing and annoying." Elina held up her chin, her snow-white eyelashes fluttering slightly, and her eyes turned to Alice in the front row.

The long, smooth hair on her shoulders fell on the sides of her face as she leaned forward, completely blocking the view of Rogers beside her.

"I'm too lazy to do things to please others." Rogers replied casually.

"So before you met me, everything you did was just hypocrisy, just to survive?" Elena continued in an ambiguous tone.

Rogers did not answer. Before he awakened his memory, he could be said to have pursued Alice with all his heart, but all that was now in the past. Now he was too lazy to discuss his past self and only wanted to make plans for the future.

Seeing that Rogers remained silent, Elina imitated him and said, "My help is not without cost. Sooner or later, there will be a day when you will have to answer my questions seriously."

"Okay, Miss Elena, if that day really comes." Rogers said nonchalantly. Anyway, the price had already been exchanged in the contract, and he was too lazy to argue with the other party about this matter.

With students from all major academies watching, the competition between the Hilmi students in the front row was quickly decided. With the added bonus of the Saint's aura, the students from the Saint's Academy achieved an overwhelming victory.

But things didn't seem to end there. For some reason, many Hilmi students surrounded Alice and rushed towards the back row.

Seeing this, Elina narrowed her eyes slightly. She pulled out a hairband from her pocket, tied up her long hair, and pulled Lufia together to walk towards the incoming students.

After learning more about the situation, it turned out that it was Alice who pointed out that not all students from the other academy participated in the competition, so the competition was not perfect and fair.

Many people in the Holy Maiden's House did not particularly agree with Alice's proposal. After all, as everyone knew, this chess piece was named "Logos". Wouldn't they be humiliating themselves if they went to play against the founder?

But the Saint's proposal was extremely fair, and the people in the Demon King's Court kept praising the Saint for her fairness.

They could only sigh that she was worthy of being a saint, and then they came to find Rogers together with a pinch of their noses.

"That guy is lazy and won't get involved in this kind of thing. I'll accompany you guys."

After everyone met, facing Elena's sudden condescending proposal, the students of the Holy Maiden Academy immediately agreed. Alice frowned and looked up at the other party. She opened her mouth to speak, but before she could utter a word, she was interrupted by Eunice.

The stepped classroom in the spiral tower was not small to begin with, and there were many empty seats in the back half of the gathering area. Eunice took the initiative to urge her students to set up the chessboard and arrange the game.

The chess skills of Elina and Lufia amazed all the students of Hilmi Academy, because few people could make twenty moves in front of the opponent and be quickly defeated.

Just like floating leaves on the water, one person after another passed in front of the two girls, but none of them could last even a little longer.

It was not until Alice defeated Rufia that the Saint's House regained some of its momentum.

But when they met Elina, the game became tense again.

Everyone stared at the changes on the chessboard in silence, marveling at the talents of Alice and Elena, until a draw occurred, and then people began to show a look of unsatisfied satisfaction.

"I will definitely win next time." Alice pursed her lips and declared to Elena in a serious and determined tone.

Elina didn't respond much. After saying goodbye politely, she pulled Lufia back to her seat.

When she brushed off her clothes and sat down again, Rogers asked doubtfully while writing, "Even if Alice awakens the intellectual bonus, you still have the ability to defeat her, right?"

"I can feel that she already hates me a little bit. I don't want to be really hated by a saint lady." Elina took off her hairband and responded in a flat tone: "But if you want me to win, she will definitely lose quickly."

"Alice is a good kid. As long as you don't do anything bad, there won't be any problem with her hating you." Rogers paused, thought for a moment, and then continued:

"But the dignity of the Saint must always be maintained. That's why the academy promoted both of us to be the chiefs. It would actually be better if you lose to her."

As soon as he finished speaking, Rogers noticed something was wrong. When he looked up and met Alina's gaze, his body instinctively tensed up his muscles and grabbed the textbook to block the two of them: "Professor Alana is coming back, and this is a classroom. If you fight, you will definitely lose credits!"

"There will be no more draws." Elena ignored Rogers who suddenly raised the book. She ran her fingers through her hair and looked at Alana who had just walked into the classroom. She didn't know who she was talking to.

In the second half of the class, Alana did not call Rogers to discuss anything. Instead, she carefully introduced various occult languages ​​and taught everyone a few basic syllables.

Until the sun lowers to the west, casting a golden afterglow.

Alana announced that today's classes were completely over, and then she went straight to Roger's seat, grabbed him and disappeared out of thin air, leaving everyone in the classroom confused again.

Elina seemed to have anticipated this situation and was not surprised at all. When she was about to go back to the dormitory with Lufia, a handsome boy wearing a khaki academic robe and brown curly hair came over.

"Ms. Elina, my name is Kelvins, and I am the head of Morost Academy. I admire your chess skills. May I have the honor of inviting you to dinner?"

Kelvins leaned forward, touching his chest, waiting expectantly for a response.

"Ah...damn Rogers." Upon hearing the invitation, Elena supported her forehead with her slender fingers and exhaled deeply. Then she turned to look at Kelvins. Her amber eyes made the other person feel cold.

Chapter 39 He's Crazy

"Excuse me, is there anything indecent I have done?" Kelvins showed a hint of apology in his smile. He bowed slightly again and asked earnestly.

Elina did not reply directly, but continued to stare at the other person coldly.

She didn't believe at all that the guy in front of her really invited her out of admiration for her chess skills. There must be other purposes behind it.

Anyone who might cause trouble for her now must be related to Rogers.

After Elina used the [Precognitive Bonus] and found that it could only project a vague future, she became more certain of this guess.

After all, this situation will only occur for things that are highly related to Rogers.

Now the only people related to Rogers who have the motive to plot against her are the Saint, Montroy and the Third Prince.

Alice would definitely not do such a thing, and Elena couldn't figure out how Montroy, who could only lie dormant cautiously, could have any means to invite the head of the academy.

Then only the third prince was left, but what effect could be achieved by convincing a chief to invite him to dinner? Spread rumors to alienate her from Rogers?

As long as her reputation was ruined or a rift was created between her and Rogers, it would be possible to destroy the future alliance between the Devin family and the Brad family.

But this prince had clearly been showing goodwill towards Rogers a few days ago, so why was he so impatient to make a tentative move so soon?

After thinking about it carefully, Alina felt that even if the Third Prince had this motive, there was no need for him to resort to such a crude method...

Unable to come up with a clear idea, she organized her words and questioned in a distant voice:

"Why did you want to invite me so suddenly? Is it really just for dinner?"

Lufia also obviously realized from Elina's tone and attitude that something was wrong with the visitor. She took the initiative to stand in front of her friend, staring at Kelvins with a firm and vigilant look, and her alert appearance was like a mother animal protecting her cubs.

Kelvins looked particularly embarrassed when he saw the two's reactions. He said with a hint of helplessness, "I can swear that I really want to invite Miss Elina."

"What about the second half?" Elena closed her eyes slightly, not hiding the scrutiny in them. Kelvins was slightly stunned by this gaze.

Seeing the other party's stunned look, she continued with the same tone:

"You should make your expression more relaxed, especially control the range of your eyebrow movements, and make your tone and eyes more natural. You are really far behind that guy.

"So please say what you need to say before things get worse."

After hearing Elina's explanation, Kelvins' expression gradually became subtle. He praised her in an admiring tone: "Your wisdom is so outstanding that it is no less beautiful than yours."

Elina shook her head and sighed when she heard this. She did not feel honored at all by the compliment. Instead, her expression showed a lot of fatigue.
