The villain really doesn't want to steal the heroine.

Although she didn't know why Hachioji did this, no matter what the reason was, Devlia would never forgive him!

After all, Wanxing is her hope to further awaken the physique of the Witch of Annihilation, and it is the future that she has finally grasped!

Any attack on her future is a mortal vendetta that can only be resolved by death!

……

At the same time, on the stage.

Facing Pantu Queret's sneak attack, Wanxing instantly cast a [Summon Fire Element].

I saw a fire giant standing in front of Pantuqueruite. He went from attacking Wanxing to the fire giant attacking him, and the situation was instantly reversed.

Under normal circumstances, when a super-class warrior fights a super-class magician, the distance between the two sides is the key factor affecting the outcome.

A super-class magician would first use mid- to high-level magic that could be cast quickly to entangle the enemy and create distance, buying time to release super-class magic. Although super-class magic was very powerful and basically guaranteed victory once it was released, the time required to cast the spell was also very long.

Super-class warriors are just the opposite. They will do everything possible to close the distance and chop down the opponent before the opponent releases super-class magic.

Therefore, if it is a ring battle, the situation is very unfavorable for the magician, but if it is in the wild, the magician who can prepare in advance will have an advantage.

Of course, the above common sense does not apply to Wanxing.

Instantaneous super-class magic is too unfair. For super-class warriors, it is simply a nightmare. Only hero-level warriors can barely resist it.

Wanxing stood still without retreating, watching Pantu Queret fighting the fire giant to a draw, and instantly cast a super-level magic [Resist Fire Ring], and easily knocked the opponent out of the ring.

Although he won the competition, Wanxing still wanted to know why the Eighth Prince ordered Pantu Querui Te to attack him?

Could it be that the eighth prince has reached some kind of cooperation agreement with the eldest prince?

Could this sneak attack be a token of allegiance to the eldest prince?

However, the real reason was not as complicated as Wanxing thought - Hachioji was here today for no other reason than Wanxing had just rejected Wanxing's invitation to join forces to deal with Ryutani Kaiwu, which made him feel embarrassed.

That's why he ordered his subordinates to defeat Wanxing, wanting to regain his ground and suppress Wanxing's arrogance.

After all, the actual combat competition arena is protected by a magic shield, and Duke Russell is watching on the rostrum.

If Hachioji really wanted to kill someone, he would definitely not choose to ambush and attack on a random route during an actual combat competition. That would be more reliable.

……

A blazing ring of fire flashed by, and Pantu Queret was blown hundreds of meters away. The magic shield on his body disappeared when he left the giant arena.

Therefore, the damage caused by the impact on the ground was entirely due to his own fighting spirit protecting his body.

He stood up, shaking his head, still a bit confused as to what was happening. The magic he cast instantly was incredibly powerful. Could it be the newly developed high-level magic from the Duke's Mansion? It couldn't possibly be super-level magic, could it?

The teacher who was acting as a part-time referee on the rostrum had already made his decision: "The winner of the seventh round of the 16-to-8 competition is Wanxing Russell!"

Suddenly the whole place was in an uproar!

As the son of the Duke, Wanxing is already quite famous in Russell Academy. After experiencing the rumors of the Adventurer's Guild's super-class monster subjugation and the chief challenge incident of Blovadu Academy, his reputation has spread far and wide.

Her popularity within Russell Academy is even higher than that of the First Princess and the Eighth Prince.

Naturally, he attracted a lot of attention, and as soon as he came on the court, countless eyes were staring at him.

When Wan Xing's opponent displayed his super-level cultivation of [Holy Dragon Fighting Qi], the students in the audience and the teachers on the stage all thought that this would be an exciting contest of dragons fighting tigers, and it would be a good show to watch.

But unexpectedly, Wanxing cast two super-level magic spells and killed the opponent in seconds!

All the teachers and students in the audience were stunned. Some shouted in disbelief, some applauded and cheered, and some looked solemn.

Pan Tuqueruite is a super-class warrior who is about to graduate, and he has even practiced the top-level martial arts [Holy Dragon Fighting Qi]!

But he was not just a freshman who had just enrolled, but was killed in an instant!

Moreover, it is an instant super-level magic. The Duke's son can perform like this. His true strength is probably far beyond everyone's imagination!

Wan Xing waved to the students in the audience who were applauding and cheering for him. After all, these students might become his subordinates in the future, so he had to leave a good impression of being courteous to win their hearts in the future.

After waving his hands, he walked off the ring.

"That's great, Wanxing, you're not hurt, are you?"

Davila said with a smile, her pair of emerald eyes curved into beautiful crescents, and the peaks on her chest rose and fell as she jogged all the way.

"It's okay. He couldn't even get close to me, how could he hurt me?"

As he spoke, Wan Xing saw the shocked and envious eyes of the teachers and students around him.

And the encouraging and approving gaze of the cheap dad on the podium,

I suddenly felt that it was not appropriate to stay here for long.

"Let's leave here first," Wan Xing openly took Davilya's hand, turned and left the playground, and the little maid Loelle followed quietly behind.

Anyway, it was already approaching evening, and the 8-to-4 competition would take place tomorrow. Even though Wanxing had only participated in four matches, and each one was very short, because there were only four giant arenas, only four actual combat matches could be held at a time, so in reality, 30 rounds had already been fought.

On average, each round takes about ten minutes, and 30 rounds will take five hours.

It was not known whether it was intentional or accidental, but after leaving the playground, Wan Xing took Davilia and Luo Ai'er back to his luxurious dormitory.

Chapter 61: Exaggerated Acting

As soon as she returned to the dormitory, Luo Ai'er ran to make desserts and black tea.

Wanxing fell comfortably onto the sofa, ready to enjoy the results.

Davilia was still brooding over what had just happened. She gritted her teeth and said, "...That guy, Lao Ba, actually had the audacity to order his men to attack Xingxing. He's unforgivable!!!"

"Yeah, that makes sense, but he is the prince of the Magic Empire after all, and I am not injured, so it doesn't matter at this level..." Wanxing waved his hand casually. After all, the dead are the greatest, and he doesn't need to bother with a dead person - the eldest prince and the eighth prince are both doomed to die. The only suspense is whether Wanxing will reach LV70 first to take revenge, or Longgu Kaiwu will take revenge first after awakening his brave physique.

"certainly not!"

There is an undeniable spirit in Davilia's clear and pleasant voice.

“It’s not indifferent!!”

"..."

To be honest, Dafuliya cared about him so much and considered him from his perspective. Wan Xing, who was just a homebody in his previous life, was very moved and said with a smile:

"Your Highness is right, but Your Highness must not get angry at such a fool."

"Xingxing is so overbearing. It's obviously not your turn to tell me who I'm angry with~"

"Of course it's your turn. Didn't you say you wanted to join my team and fight alongside me? So, you have to obey my orders. I won't allow Her Highness to think about that guy."

This twisted logic shocked Devilia.

Wan Xing didn't miss the opportunity and continued without interruption, "Besides, being angry is punishing yourself for the mistakes of others. When we are angry, we are actually treating ourselves with negative emotions. These emotions are often accompanied by hostility, anger, and resentment, which have a negative impact on our physical and mental health. Anger can lead to psychological stress, anxiety, and depression, and even affect our quality of life."

"Also, during battle, we might make impulsive decisions out of anger and excitement. A rash attack would not only fail to defeat the enemy, but could also expose weaknesses and put ourselves in danger."

"Therefore, we should learn to control our emotions and respond to the enemy's challenges with a calm and rational attitude. Only then can we resolve crises more safely... For example, right now, Your Highness, you can think of something cheerful to change your mood and adjust your mindset."

Devlia tilted her head and looked at him talking nonsense seriously, then asked, "...happy things?"

Wan Xing thought for a few seconds and then jokingly said, "For example, what happened between Her Royal Highness the Princess and me?"

But Davilia nodded seriously and whispered, "...Okay."

Wanxing felt that Davilya's anger gradually disappeared, and she seemed to have let it go.

But the next moment, Devlia sat on his lap very naturally.

"Oh... Your Highness, the noble and elegant Princess, what are you doing?"

"Don't mind it, I just followed your advice and thought of something happy!"

Wanxing thought, "How could I not care?", but Davilya seemed to be trying to make the impossible possible.

"Let me make it clear first, I don't have the [Source of Magical Power] at the moment, so no matter how much you tempt me, it's useless!"

"Hmm... It won't work without the [Source of Magical Power]? I don't believe it!"

As she spoke, Dafuliya took a sip of the black tea that Luo Ai'er had just brewed, then said in a loud voice, "I suddenly feel very sleepy. I'm going to take a nap first. Xingxing, please don't wake me up~"

Then he staggered down onto the table and became motionless.

Ah, such exaggerated acting!

Seeing that Davilya had cooperated to this extent - without the passive time-still state created by the [Source of Magic Power], Wanxing directed and acted out an active sleeping state.

Then what reason does he have to refuse?

Men can never say no!

……

When Wanxing and Dafuliya were happily playing the reenactment game,

On the other hand, Long Gu Kaiwu has been imprisoned unjustly and will be executed tomorrow morning.

Although the first princess of this world no longer has any connection with Longgu Kaiwu,

But even without the support of Her Royal Highness the Princess, the villains could still get the testimony of a group of noble girls.

It was just a frame-up. How much rigorous evidence did Hachioji need to falsely accuse a mere civilian?

For Long Gu Kaiwu, violating the princess is a capital crime, and violating a group of noble girls is also a capital crime!

So he had to die?

No, are kings, princes, generals, and ministers born into a certain family?

Just as Long Gu Kaiwu, who was in prison, thought of this, he found several people breaking in from outside.

"Brave man, please follow us!"

"who are you?"

"We are members of the Holy Empire's Templar Knights. We predicted through the Great Prophecy that the Hero was about to face a fatal crisis, so we came to rescue him!"

After a brief and quick conversation, Ryutani Kaiwu learned three things: 1. The other party was from an enemy country, 2. The other party called himself a hero, 3. This might be his only chance of escape!

If the other party had come a few days earlier, Longgu Kaiwu would probably have hesitated in the face of the Holy Empire's recruitment.

After all, it has been an enemy country since ancient times. Under the royal family's propaganda for many years, ordinary civilians have deep prejudices against the enemy country.

But at this time, Ryutani Kaiwu was wrongfully imprisoned and was full of hatred towards the royal family and nobles of the Magic Empire.

He is unwilling to accept this and wants revenge!

He can't just die in prison in vain. If he is to die, he should at least achieve a great reputation - such as becoming a hero in the Holy Empire!

In comparison, the crime of treason can be completely ignored. Nowadays, if you don't commit treason, you will die. If you commit treason, you will also die. Is it acceptable to wait for death and then die for the country?

After preparing himself mentally, Longgu Kaiwu stopped asking questions and followed these members of the Templar Knights out of the prison.

However, before leaving Russell City, Ryutani Kaiwu sneaked into Russell Academy, preparing to take his childhood sweetheart Claires with him - at this time his student status had not been cancelled, so it would not trigger the academy's defensive magic circle.

Claire had already learned about the incident in which Kaiwu Ryutani was arrested and imprisoned for molesting a group of noble girls. She was extremely anxious and even planned to look for the perverted pervert who was the Duke's son to see if she could rescue them through the back door.

Now seeing Long Gu Kaiwu, he immediately asked with concern: "Kaiwu, have you been acquitted? Are you okay?"

"I escaped from prison..."

Longgu Kaiwu made his point short, explaining in three sentences how dangerous the current situation was. Finally, he stated his purpose: "Come with me, and don't pack your things. There's everything over there!"

Claire hesitated for a moment and then asked, "Kaiwu, we can just leave, but what about our parents? What about our relatives and friends in the village? What will happen to them if we commit treason together? Have you ever thought about this?"

"Of course I've thought about it, but if I don't leave, I'll just die!" Long Gu Kaiwu said with a heavy face, "I don't want to die yet, so I have to go... As for everyone in the village... I will definitely avenge them in the future!"

"I'm not asking Kaiwu to go back and die," Claire shook her head, her eyes determined as if she was about to join the party, "but revenge is meaningless for those who are already dead, so I have to stay..." As she spoke, she showed a gentle smile to Longgu Kaiwu, "...Don't worry, Kaiwu, I will make proper arrangements for everyone in the village!"

It’s coming to shelves!

The new author doesn’t know what to say, so I’ll just say a few auspicious words first!
