How come I am still being controlled by them even though I have changed my ways?

Or is it the "winner" attitude that Xilin reveals from time to time?

In order to avoid embarrassment, Jill had to put down his cutlery and ask Luvilia about her plans for the day.

"Luvlia, I plan to escort Sirin to the third day of the Academy Festival—the 'Spell Magic Academy' in the Royal Capital. That should be... no problem, right?"

The academy festival on the third day was held at a place called "Spell Magic Academy" - if Dean Luo Yi's Elemental Magic Academy still had some capital to compete with Chairman Cai Wei's Pyroxene Magic Academy, then the Spell Magic Academy would really just be the "eternal third place".

After all, this is also related to the main courses taught in the academy: spells are generally related to "functional" uses, some are "healing", and some use specific spells to complete specific purposes according to the royal family's orders.

In the words of those arrogant students in Pyroxene College: unorthodox practices.

Most of the students in the college are from ordinary families who just want to learn a skill and work to earn money.

Thanks to this, although Jill didn't think it was a big deal, he now had the responsibility of protecting Xilin, so he had to consider the possible "safety" issues of Xilin as a little princess in such an academy.

It's definitely a good idea to ask Luvilia for advice.

Luvilia's attitude was direct.

"You have taken over my job now and have the authority to mobilize the guards. There is no need to ask me for everything. I am just an ordinary student now."

Nothing wrong with that, but...

Why does Jill sound sour?

And he didn't even think about asking.

"What I mean is: Luvilia, do you... want to come with me?"

Before he finished speaking, Xilin's eyes had already glanced over.

He felt a chill down his spine from staring at her - why was the atmosphere becoming increasingly tense?

125. Do you have any head??

Luckily, Jill still had a way to ease the strange atmosphere. After all, today was the third day of the academy festival, and also the day Sirin joined the battle.

So, Jill used the excuse of "Xilin, you should hurry up and prepare for the academy festival" to finally calm the little princess down.

Afterwards, he and Luvilia prepared to escort Xilin together - but this time he was no longer the "supporting" one, and the person watching became Luvilia.

Get on the bus and set off.

Although the guards protecting Xilin showed an unhappy expression when they saw "it was he who gave the order", they still performed their duties well.

Escorting Xilin, they headed to the third "royal academy" in the royal capital, the Academy of Spell Magic, which was even more remote than Dean Luo Yi's Elemental Magic Academy and was even located on the edge of the royal capital.

Should we say "as a matter of course"?

This more "popular" college is completely lacking the "luxury" or "low-key and introverted" of the other two colleges in all aspects.

In his evaluation, although he seemed to have a bit of "aristocratic style", Jill still felt that this college looked a bit poor.

The college festival activities also made the entire college a mess, and some of the garbage that looked like it had been there for the day before had not been picked up yet.

Is it because from today on, he officially takes over from Luvilia and becomes Xilin's bodyguard? Is this the reason?

Even though the highlight of the academy festival had already begun and the little princess Sirin, who was definitely "super popular" in the royal capital, had already stepped onto her "stage", Jill, who was standing by the central arena in the academy playground to cheer Sirin on, as Sirin had requested, still felt "uneasy".

He didn't know if it was his illusion, but from the beginning, it seemed like someone nearby was watching him - he was the guard of the little princess Xilin, and everyone who knew him or not should be able to see it.

Could it be that because of this, someone was watching his movements, trying to circumvent his attention on Sirin and get closer to her? But Luvilia was also nearby, so if there really was an "accident", she would definitely not remain indifferent, right?

So... it's aimed at him?

Jill was a little confused: If he was just a student of this academy, then few people should know him - the actions he took during the "Yellow Hair Period" when he was forced by the Yellow Hair System were only limited to the other two academies.

Not to mention that most of the students in this spell magic academy are civilians, who would know about his "criminal record"?

Unless... he's an "acquaintance"?

Thinking of this, Jill rubbed his forehead, handed over the task of guarding Xilin to the guards, and then moved away from the crowd.

What happened next was within his expectations.

As he left the crowd, a figure wearing a hat and a gray-brown robe followed him from the crowd. His intention was obvious: he was not targeting Xilin at all, and it was even less likely that he was asking Xilin for an autograph.

But it was directed at him!

Gil had considered this possibility: after all, he had just offended Dean Roy so severely. It was perfectly natural for Dean Roy, whose "personality had collapsed," to secretly "catch" him and resort to some form of coercion and inducement.

After all, his schedule is pretty predictable.

However, just when Gil was about to show his hand and face Dean Roy's "troublemaking", he found out that he was wrong.

At this moment, the person who appeared before him was indeed an elf girl.

But it was not the little elf who approached him hypocritically and threatened him to be a traitor, but another high elf whom he knew but was not familiar with.

"You're quite perceptive, Jill. No wonder you became Sirin's bodyguard. It seems you've made a lot of progress compared to before."

The moment he turned around and noticed her, she had already taken off her hat and revealed a bright and cheerful smile, as if she was not "following" him at all, but rather like good friends meeting again after a long time.

"Uh... Miss Kallen?"

He thought it was Dean Roy, but it turned out that the person who secretly followed him today was Dean Roy's "ace fighter" - Karen, who was also a high elf.

This did surprise him.

"Uh... Miss Karen, what are you doing?"

But although it was an accident, after recognizing the other person, Jill's first thought was to take a few steps back.

Then, he immediately explained, "I... I didn't do anything today. I have reformed myself and am now serving as the guard of the little princess Xilin."

Don't say anything, just prove your innocence first.

after all……

To Jill, the elf girl in front of him was no different from Luvilia, both of them were "Feng Aotian".

During the Yellow Hair period, Gil's contact with Kallen was basically when he had to harass Dean Roy according to the requirements of the Yellow Hair System.

If Luvilia is the Feng Aotian who protects the little princess Xilin, then Kallen is the one who protects Dean Luoyi. Unlike Luvilia, who "gives him a good beating whenever she sees him", Kallen usually "catches him in the act" and then "recounts his crimes" in secret.

However, despite the bright and cheerful appearance of the girl before him, she was incredibly swift, accurate, and ruthless in her attacks—she could smile and tell him, "Don't bother the dean again next time~" while kicking him over ten meters away...

Now that Jill sees this, she has to be on guard.

Look, the show of force is coming soon.

Before he could finish, the girl in front of him tilted her head and smiled.

"Jill, I didn't say you were doing anything bad, did I? Are you feeling guilty?"

Her smile is indeed sweet, and she is indeed beautiful - so much better than that elf saint like Seraphim who always has a business smile on her face.

What a pity: Jill, who knew the opponent's strength very well, had no time to act like a hooligan and stare at him.

Slide down on your knees first.

"No, no, I'm just a little surprised: Miss Karen, your school festival competition has ended, right? Why are you here?"

After thinking about it, I swallowed the words "Why did you come to me?"

It’s definitely right to play dumb now.

After all: he didn't even need to speak. Just based on the series of actions of the elf girl in front of him, Gil could already guess that Kallen came to see him specifically, so there was no need for him to speak and offend her.

Letting Karen speak out herself would still allow her to take some initiative.

And the next moment, the elf girl's reaction also verified Jill's thoughts.

"I came to see how our school performed today, and also to observe the personnel arrangements in your school. After all... there must be a final match between the two schools in the school festival."

Kallen, speaking these words, seemed to have already written a conclusion about the final outcome of the academy festival.

"But I think the final result...I'm afraid there's not much suspense."

After a pause, he revealed his real purpose.

He looked into Jill's eyes.

"After all, our headmaster, Roy, hasn't shown up for several days and has been hiding at home."

"Gil, do you have any idea?"

The calm smile made Kallen look as if she wasn't in a hurry at all.

126.?????

With her proud figure and graceful smile, the two of them were alone together when everyone went to watch the "highlight" of the academy festival - today's competition, and even to see the little princess Xilin.

If you don’t know, you might think that the beautiful elf girl in front of you is about to make some “true confession”.

However, by now Gir Khan had come down.

What does Dean Luo Yi's seclusion have to do with me? She must have seen her academy's huge advantage, losing to a dragon-riding counterattack, and realized that the promises she made to the students before couldn't be fulfilled, so she just started bragging. So, she was too embarrassed to come to work at the academy anymore.

Normally, Jill felt that he should have said that.

However, the elf girl's intention was so "precise" that Gil began to wonder if Karen had already figured out the intrigues and tug-of-war between him and Chairman Roy during the academy festival.

After all: If Dean Luo Yi is really autistic, then the real situation...

Gil is indeed not free from responsibility - to be honest, his ridicule of the chairman that day was indeed a bit "intimate".

But as the one who is "threatened" by Dean Roy, even if it happens again, Jill will still choose to resist!

This was how it should have been. After the showdown, he had explained this to Luvilia and Silin as well. But...

At this moment, facing Dean Roy's "trump card" - the high elf Kallen, Jill was a little speechless.

It’s not that he doesn’t dare to admit it, but he doesn’t know the other party’s background now. He doesn’t know whether Karin is aware of the conflict between him and Dean Luo Yi.

How could he speak rashly? Technically speaking, Kallen was one of the people he needed to "forgive" in his plan to "reform himself." There was no need to offend her right after meeting her.

Thinking of this, Jill could only play dumb.

"I... I don't know? Maybe he's been too busy with the academy festival lately and overworked himself and collapsed... or something?"

However, it was almost as he thought - since Kallen came to find him, it was obvious that she knew something about his recent overly close contact with Dean Luo Yi after he returned to the capital.

He didn't know if it was his illusion: the smile on the elf girl's face remained unchanged, but the "danger" in her words became more and more intense.

"Really? But Dean Roy has been with you, Jill, lately, right? Didn't you notice anything? Or rather... Dean Roy is now staying indoors and doesn't even want to see me..."

Moreover, while speaking, Kallen deliberately placed her hand on the hilt of the sword at her waist.

It's almost a direct threat!

Moreover, unlike the imp like Sirin who relied on various tricks to threaten him, Kallen, like Luvilia, had the capital to "beat him up." Furthermore, unlike Luvilia, who could send him flying dozens of meters with a single punch, if Luvilia was considered "violent," then the elf girl before him was "magical."

During the "yellow-haired period", Jill had to harass Dean Roy frequently, so he learned a lot - Kallen was good at the elemental magic of the elves, but in addition to that, just like she lost to Luvilia at the academy festival yesterday, Kallen also learned the standard swordsmanship of the Knights in the royal capital.

To put it simply, it is a "two-pronged approach", making it impossible for Jill to find a targeted solution even if she wants to.

He could only retreat cautiously, looking at Kallen's smiling face and explaining guiltily.

"Ms. Karen, I really didn't do anything bad to Dean Luo Yi again. I have changed my ways since I came back."

Fearing that Kallen wouldn't believe him, Jill added, "If you don't believe me, ask Luvilia. She's willing to let me take over her job of protecting Silin, so she definitely believes me."

Jill felt that Karen must have followed him just to "settle accounts with him" - after all, if Dean Roy really had become "autistic" recently, and he was the person who had the most contact with Dean Roy in recent days, then as Dean Roy's right-hand man, it was normal for Karen to suspect him.

However, the next moment, he realized: it didn't seem that simple.

His explanation was clearly sincere enough—he even brought up Luvilia. But after listening to his words and assurances with a smile, Kallen looked more like... than "disbelief."

It seems more like he has other intentions.

Why do these elves all look innocent on the outside but are sinister on the inside?

Considering her current situation, Jill swallowed the words back into her stomach.

"I didn't say I didn't trust you, Jill."

The elf girl tilted her head, and although the curve of her eyes was charming, it also deeply hid her inner thoughts.
