Your notoriety is known to everyone.

"You only want to take from others without giving anything in return?" There was a trace of anger and contempt on Roger's face, as if he despised such behavior.

"But..." Kelvins was not unwilling to pay a certain amount of compensation, but facing the upcoming competition, it was obvious that the experience of the Curse Duel was more important than the Rogers chess.

Moreover, he was aware that there was a huge gap in strength between him and Rogers, and that he might not be able to gain any improvement after experiencing a crushing defeat with no chance of winning.

"Apart from the facts, don't you think it is shameful for you to try to embezzle other people's time and energy?

"Is this your morality as the head of Morost Academy? If the students under your leadership knew your disgusting character, would they still be willing to continue to support you?

"Kelvins, such greed is bound to lead to a tragic future. You need to listen to advice!"

Rogers' eyes were filled with concern and heartache, and he spoke each word of sincere and firm admonition in a sincere voice.

"I'll give it to you! Stop talking, stop talking..." Kelvins felt the increasingly strange looks from the people around him, especially the many students from Morost Academy among them. He took out the academy badge quickly, touched it with Rogers, and immediately turned around and left the scene.

Rogers checked the deposit of one thousand credits and waved goodbye to the other party with satisfaction.

He was fined 1,000 credits last time school started, but this time he gained a lot. It really is unpredictable.

"So he's a good man." Alice looked at Kelvins' back as he squeezed out of the crowd, murmured with a hint of self-blame, then looked at Rogers again, stretched out her right hand, opened her palm, and asked softly, "Can you give me the ring?"

Upon hearing this, Rogers simply took out a silver ring from his sleeve pocket and returned it to Alice.

"I will definitely give you one in the future." Alice slowly clenched her palms, the corners of her lips slightly raised, revealing a touching smile, making a promise like a vow.

Alina, who was still looking around at the Augustus Academy students in the crowd, turned back to look at this scene, and her face instantly darkened.

She took Luo Gesi's arm and walked towards the dormitory without any explanation.

"Chief, were you just blackmailed by Rogers?"

A student from the Landona Academy watched Rogers gradually walk away, and couldn't help but ask the student from the Morost Academy next to him.

"Of course! I just signaled to the chief to find a chance to leave, but I didn't expect him to do it even faster!" The student said with regret, but then he expressed doubts: "But Rogers later gave the Saint a ring. Could it be that the two of them really..."

The students from the Landona Academy looked at the many students from the Holy Maiden Academy who had not yet left, and did not make any response, but just shrugged slightly.

……

Rogers's cabin had not changed much, not even any dust had accumulated, as if it had not been changed at all by the passage of time.

The first thing he did when he came back was to light the fireplace. Although the signs of early spring had already appeared, the cold had not yet dissipated.

As the blazing flames burned vigorously, accompanied by crisp popping sounds, warm air flowed out of the fireplace, filling the entire room and dispelling the lingering chill.

"Don't you have your own dormitory?"

He looked at Elina and Lufia who were sitting cross-legged on the sofa near the fireplace, and said helplessly after sitting down next to them.

"When Professor Idrul came to talk to you personally, did he mention the matter of the re-election of the chief?" Elina ignored Rogers' complaints and asked instead.

"Yes." Rogers nodded.

"The professor came to you specifically to talk, so this must mean that only one person can stay as the chief this time, right?

"So do you plan to defeat Alice completely, or should we just transfer to another hospital? And as for the Third Prince, when can we really teach him a lesson and make him quieter, and stop doing annoying things like a fly?"

Elina rubbed her forehead, her tone full of undisguised anger, and it was unclear whether it was because of Kelvins' harassment, or something more.

"That's indeed a good question. The Chief's matter is a bit troublesome, but I do have some ideas about the Third Prince."

Rogers leaned on the soft backrest of the sofa, closed his eyes, stretched his body, and after feeling a little comfortable, he slowly replied.

On the night of the exorcism, Edith, who was sent by the third prince to intercept him, still owed him a debt, and it might be time to repay it.

This time it was Elina, next time it might be Lufia, and even more people related to him will be subjected to messy calculations. The annoying flies really need to be quieted down as soon as possible.

However, when he was thinking about what to do next, he suddenly felt a warm touch on his neck, followed by a slight pain.

"I'm talking to you..." Rogers sighed, opened his eyes, and glanced sideways at Elena who looked like she had nothing to do.

Before he could say anything more, there was a knock on the door.

"What's the matter again?"

Rogers stood up and walked around the low table in front of the sofa. When he opened the door, he saw two people standing outside who surprised him.

Derek was pacing back and forth outside the house with a frown on his forehead. His face was full of worry and anxiety, and his eyes revealed deep uneasiness.

After seeing Rogers, he stepped forward and wanted to shake hands as if he had found a savior, but considering etiquette, he suppressed his impulse.

In addition to him, Alice was also standing outside the door with a distressed look on her face. However, when her gaze fell on Rogers' neck, the distress in her eyes froze in an instant and her lips pursed slightly.

Chapter 4 Emotional Counseling in Progress (k)

The cold wind gently blew Alice's thin hair. She hesitated for a moment, but still pointed her finger at Roger's neck.

[Alice activated the healing bonus on you, and the bruise on your neck has been healed. ]

Rogers raised his hand and touched his neck, said thank you casually, then turned around and shouted to Elena and Lufia who were inside the house. After they were ready, he invited Alice and Derek who were outside the door into the house.

There were only sofas and a table in his living room, not much furniture for entertaining.

However, Elina and Lufia seemed to be very resistant to others sitting on the sofa, like guardians on guard against outsiders invading their territory.

Rogers didn't quite understand what they were doing, as Alice had sat on the sofa before last semester.

But it was not very appropriate to make a classmate who obviously wanted to see him stand there. Fortunately, Alice did not mind it too much. She was even considerate enough to use the special gift to turn some brand new firewood into a pentagonal table and some wooden stools, adding some things to Rogers's empty dormitory.

The flames kept licking the wood in the fireplace, making tiny popping and crackling sounds.

Rogers glanced at the people sitting around the table. Especially when Elena beside him kept looking at his neck, he became a little defensive, fearing that the other party would bite him again regardless of the occasion.

"Chief, Eunice is in trouble! She was cheated by a guy from Augustus House during the holidays. Now that guy has called Eunice away and no one knows what he is saying." Derek saw that no one had spoken yet, and he could no longer suppress the impulse in his heart, so he spoke.

"What was Eunice deceived about? Why are you so worried?" Lufia, who was sitting on the other side of Rogers, asked curiously.

"I don't know either, but she must have been deceived by that malicious guy!" Derek's expression was solemn and tangled, his words were extremely firm, and he looked straight at Rogers with hopeful eyes.

"Then why don't you go beat up that liar? Instead, you come to me." Rogers said.

He was not surprised by the incident regarding Eunice. The only possibility that could have caused Derek and Alice to come to him together was because of this person.

"It's not a good idea to use violence directly, right? As for why I came to you..." Derek hesitated a little after hearing this. Then he glanced at the three people except Rogers and said with confidence: "With your experience, you can definitely solve it perfectly."

"Then you have a pretty good eye." Rogers nodded in agreement.

Although he has not had much emotional experience in his two lives, in his previous life, from childhood to adulthood, many of his friends would often come to him for emotional consultation.

All the friends who have been analyzed by him will easily realize the importance of independent self-esteem, and quickly get out of the troubles of negative emotions and embark on a glorious journey of enriching themselves wholeheartedly.

Especially during his college years, his roommates would spread his advice as classics, so that they could often hang out with the brothers in their class who had lost their girlfriends.

Since both Alice and Derek had come to find him, and since the compensation Eunice brought in from the holiday was considerable, he felt that he could generously help out.

"Student Derek, I think you seem to have some big misunderstandings about certain things." Elina looked at the other party's anxious expression, thinking of the various annoying remarks made by Rogers in daily life, and reminded him sincerely and compassionately.

"Let's explain the reasons and gather some ideas. There's no need to bother Rogers to help with the planning." Alice thought about the various things Rogers did when he pursued her in the past two years, and she rarely agreed with Elena.

"If Derek can find the guy you think is a liar and let him listen to Roger's advice, perhaps the problem can be solved quickly." Lufia looked at the two people's advice to Derek, her eyes turned slightly, and she also raised her hand to give her own suggestion.

"This is indeed a solution." Elena nodded in agreement.

"But it will be troublesome." Alice did not deny it, but there was a hint of thought between her brows.

When Rogers heard several people singing the same tune, he curled his lips slightly but did not take the initiative to refute anything.

After all, the masses will always subconsciously resist the words of wise people. This is their unchangeable nature.

Derek seemed to have his worldview rebuilt. He felt that the advice of the saint and the two people who always followed Rogers were still quite important. He looked at Rogers with some hesitation.

“The liar’s name is Pasima Pasquet, he is in the same grade as us, comes from a traditional aristocratic family, and he is very close to the third prince.

"Eunice told me that she met him at a party during the holidays, and later they went on a hunting trip together. He helped Eunice many times during the process.

"But my intuition tells me that he must have a purpose in approaching Eunice."

Alice noticed Rogers' expression and quickly brought the topic back on track, explaining what had happened.

When Rogers heard the name of Pasima, he frowned slightly, then took out a monocle from his sleeve pocket, put it on his left eye, and browsed the information.

If things develop normally, Eunice will indeed interact with Pasima in the next few years, and in one branch storyline, the two of them can become partners in the later stages.

But that was a plot that developed after the First Prince ascended the throne in order to win over the southern nobles.

Rogers originally thought that this matter was simply another impulsive decision made by the Third Prince, but now it seems that perhaps because of the instigation of his butterfly, too many plots may have begun to go out of control.

With this in mind, the Third Prince's eagerness to compete with him openly and to fight for the interests of the protected Caspar may also be a factor in consolidating the other party's position in the Augustus Court.

"Can't we tell Eunice about this matter directly? As a saint and a good friend, you can directly persuade and stop it, which should play a significant role, right?"

When Elina saw Rogers take out his monocle and start thinking, her expression changed from relaxed to serious, and she made a serious suggestion.

"Forced separation and increasing barriers will only backfire. It may even increase Eunice's desire to know more about the other person." Alice refuted very straightforwardly, as if she had deep experience with this.

"Alice is right. There was a couple named Romeo and Juliet, and they loved each other more deeply just like that." Rogers nodded in agreement.

Unilateral prohibition and concealment are likely to cause rebellion, which can easily arouse the other party's curiosity and prompt the other party to use all channels to obtain more concealed information.

As soon as he finished speaking, he felt a pain in his foot. He glanced at Elena, who had a cold face. With a slight twitch of his lips, he raised his leg to knock away the other person's foot.

"Why don't you, classmate Derek, pay more attention to Eunice and Pasima. When you see something unusual happening, step forward and interrupt their conversation. You can also call Eunice away if necessary." Alice suggested after careful consideration.

"What you're doing will only make Pasima more alert. She might even take more radical actions, which will speed up the intimacy between the two of you." Elina raised her eyebrows and chuckled disdainfully.

Then the two began to mention various opinions and refute various points. The topic gradually rose from Eunice to what is decent, what is respect, what is true emotion...

Derek listened very carefully at first, but the more he listened, the less he understood. He felt as if they were not really discussing issues related to Eunice.

He looked at Rogers, who was pushing his monocle up with his finger and was lost in thought, wondering what he was thinking about, and at Rufia, who still looked serious and kept tapping the table with her fingertips, as if she was memorizing something... He fell into a brief confusion at this moment.

"I'm sorry to bother you all," Derek found a brief pause in the conversation, stood up and bowed to express his gratitude, as if he had come to his own conclusion:

"The liar hasn't done anything to Eunice yet, so it's not easy for us to expose him directly. I will also try to pay attention to Eunice's situation.

"But if the Saint is not present, how can I disrupt the conversation between Eunice and Pasima?"

After hearing this, Rogers was slightly distracted from the numerous messages from the First Prince, and replied casually: "Just say you want to take her out for apple pie."

However, as soon as the words came out, Alice couldn't help laughing, and the pain in her feet was even worse than last time.

"Is this lame excuse really useful?" Derek's lips moved slightly, but he still dared to question his chief.

“Then you can think of another one yourself, and by the way, pay more attention to the movements of that Pasima. You can also ask some classmates in the Demon King Academy about his social situation and see if he is really fully supporting the Third Prince.

"Alice should communicate more with Eunice on a daily basis, and ask Pasima if she has asked Eunice for any news about you."

Rogers kept raising his foot to try to step back while giving his instructions.

Based on his understanding of the First Prince in the plot, the other party did not seem like someone who would use tricks like the Third Prince, but the appearance of Pasima and the recent activity of the First Prince made Rogers unable to help but think about the other party.

"Come on, you and Eunice have a long-standing and deep relationship. Perhaps you can use this opportunity to enhance your friendship." Alice looked at Derek, who was still worried, and said in an encouraging tone.

"But Eunice has hurt you after all, right? You can't forget the old scars just because of a little healing. You have to be careful not to go back to the wrong path of destiny.

"Appropriate help is enough to reflect your kindness. There is no need to put too much effort into things that have nothing to do with you. That will only increase your fatigue." Elina gave a sincere warning in a serious and calm tone.

"I understand." Derek's eyes were wandering, revealing trouble and confusion, as if Elena's words had caused many conflicts and contradictions in his heart.

He bowed again to express his thanks, then hurriedly said goodbye to everyone, as if he was going to find out about Eunice's situation.

Alice did not leave immediately, but sat down and chatted with Rogers, asking about the Shadow Demon's recent situation many times and expressing her determination to take the Shadow Demon back.

Looking at the other party's determined attitude, Rogers slowly adjusted his mentality.

As we all know, once the protagonist of the world bursts out with a resolute expression similar to that full of faith, then this protagonist will definitely be able to obtain various extremely unreasonable buffs, and the kind that can be continuously stacked when facing a crisis situation.

Alice slowly left until dusk gradually fell.

As soon as Rogers stood up and stretched his body, Elena waved her hand and summoned magic power, which cut the wooden table and stool into a pile of firewood, and threw them all into the fireplace neatly, causing an immediate roar.

The firewood rubbed and collided with each other, and the flames licked up from the broken wood, making a rustling sound, accompanied by a faint smoke filling the room, bringing a unique wood fragrance.

The three of them sat back on the sofa and discussed the course selection after the school started. Then Rogers and Elena both got out the large books on space magic, while Lufia leaned against the armrest and gradually fell into a nap.

The sky was gloomy, shrouded in a thick layer of gray clouds. The cold air howled back and forth, like the last cry of winter unwilling to completely leave this land.

The next day, Alana and Kuli came to visit Rogers in his dormitory.

They did not bother about whether there was a place to sit, but just stood in the living room, each holding Rogers' arm affectionately, and kept expressing their regret that there could only be one chief left in Hilmi College. Their words reminded Alice that it was impossible for her to be deprived of the position of chief, so Rogers could prepare for the transfer as soon as possible.

They also promised that as long as Rogers could come to their academy, they could hold a rematch even if the chief had already been chosen, to ensure that Rogers could become the chief.

The progress and credit advantage of Demon King Academy in the last semester were noticed by everyone. Rogers' reputation among his classmates might not be very good, but his ability was unquestionable.

The value of a student who has both talent and leadership ability will be infinitely magnified in the eyes of the dean.
