As a villain, I really don't want to be pursued by the heroine.

Gray was about to speak, but suddenly realized.

The young master seemed to have said that his identity as an adventurer should be kept secret, right?

Gray's body trembled, and he was so frightened that he almost sobered up.

But then he thought again, there should be no problem if he only said the title and didn't reveal the name.

The Adventurer's Guild specifically provides identity protection to A-level and quasi-A-level adventurers. Even if many adventurers make enemies, only their titles will be found, not their real names.

What's more, Viszea is so old, and the girl in front of him might never see Roy in her life. It's okay to tell her, right?

Gray laughed and said, "That legendary adventurer is none other than the Sword Ghost from our Lionheart Kingdom! Little girl, remember this!"

"【Sword Ghost】huh..." The girl murmured the name, with a slight smile on her face.

She looked up at the boundless starry sky above her head, stretched out her hand, and felt a deep yearning for the vague and beautiful figure in her heart.

------------

Half a month later, Roy and Alice traveled thousands of miles, left the Lionheart Kingdom, and arrived at the heart of Viszea, the capital of the Magic Kingdom, the Citadel.

As soon as the carriage entered the city, the extremely prosperous scene came into the eyes of the master and servant through the window.

Not to mention the marble-paved, spotlessly clean streets, the pedestrians passing by are of all races and nationalities, including strong orcs, slender elves, snow-white-skinned northerners, and Eastern believers in pure white Taoist robes.

Even the mounts people ride are varied, from giants to gargoyles, with countless types.

The little maid was stunned by the lively scene, and even Roy, who was mentally prepared, couldn't help but take a few more glances.

However, even in this academy that gathers rare magical beasts from all over the world, the golden-winged griffin wrapped in lightning stands out and in turn attracts the attention of many people.

As the very center of the Western Continent, the Academic City has a flat terrain and developed transportation. It is the confluence of several long rivers, has abundant extraordinary elements, and produces a variety of extraordinary materials. It has the most prosperous extraordinary market in the Western Continent.

Not only that, this place has a developed economy, a gathering of talented people, and an extremely long history. It is the undisputed center of economy, culture, and extraordinary power in the Western Continent.

It is said that in the Second Age, the Age of Magic, the Citadel was nothing more than an ordinary barbaric land.

Until crazy magicians discovered a large amount of extraordinary resources here, thus starting a hundred years of competition, transformation and construction.

Under the power of magic, mountains sank, rivers changed their courses, seeds were scattered, and life was born.

Although the magicians disappeared with the times, the academy that embodied their hard work remained, leaving hope for humans to counterattack the demons in the Third Age.

At the southernmost point of the city, a towering, magnificent, and seven-colored magic tower stands. That is the headquarters of the Magicians' Academy, the Candle Tower.

In the early period of the Third Age, the demons launched a massive invasion, the human regime at that time was tragically destroyed, and the entire human world was forced to a point of life and death.

It was at that time that the Candle Tower was erected.

This tower symbolizes the last ray of hope in the darkest hour of the human world and is still revered by the world today.

But the real center of the academy, the stage for "Angel's Rondo", is still the Central Continent Magic Academy, which has nurtured countless heroes who dominated the Third Age and led mankind to break through the darkness, and is therefore known as the "Starting Point of Heroes".

Chapter 16: Breaking off the Encounter

The Central Continent Magic Academy was originally established to unite humanity's elite to fight against the demons. Before that, it served as a training ground for apprentice magicians of the Second Age, and its history is rich.

Today, the Central Continent Magic Academy aims to cultivate extraordinary talents for various countries and conduct political and cultural exchanges. It can be said to be the number one institution of learning in the Western Continent.

But the official start of school is tomorrow, so there is no need to rush today.

"We're tired from the journey, let's rest in the hotel for a night." As the young master, no one objected to Roy's words.

Roy did not skimp on accommodation and took Alice, Vanilla, Chocolate and the entire team of guards to stay in a high-end hotel specially serving the nobility.

In the academy, even the hotel was filled with Warcraft specimens and valuable supernatural books, which amazed Qiao Ke and others who had just arrived.

However, Roy was not really tired, but there was another reason.

Roy returned to the room and did not rest. Instead, he went to the bed and looked out the window silently.

Not long after, a carriage stopped opposite the hotel and a girl in a light green cloak got out.

Although the hood covered the girl's face, her plump and well-proportioned legs and slender and beautiful figure allowed Roy to recognize her identity at once.

There is no mistake, she is one of the convincing female protagonists in "Angel Rondo", a descendant of elves, Nia Jasmine!

After getting out of the car, Nia was surrounded by men from nearby. Like a weak woman who was powerless, she was half-forced to a nearby alley.

Roy, who saw this scene, began to mourn for them.

The original work mentioned that Nia fled her hometown, disguised her identity, made deals with smugglers, and smuggled into the magical country.

Seeing that he was alone, the smuggler had evil intentions, but he didn't know that the other party was a descendant of the elves who inherited the golden bloodline of the [Forest Elves].

You have to know that the elves were ancient beings in the First Age who competed with dragons and Titans.

Every descendant of the elves is either a warlock born with great magical powers, or a ranger with extraordinary skills since childhood.

Nia Jasmine possesses both. She is a genuine Sequence 8 Beyonder.

Sure enough, not long after, a heart-wrenching wailing of a man was heard in the distance.

The girl in the dark green cloak rushed out of the alley with several wallets in her hands.

Several seconds later, a man covering his lower body ran out cursing and ordered his thugs to chase after him.

After confirming that Nia had left in the opposite direction of the hotel, Roy finally breathed a sigh of relief and stopped paying attention to the window.

Although the Fate-Defying Node did not respond, Roy still wanted to take precautions in advance and keep as much distance from the Girl of Destiny as possible.

There are four routes into the city.

In the original work, depending on the route chosen to enter the city, Alice encounters different girls of destiny the day before school, which lays the groundwork for future strategies.

Among the four daughters of destiny, Charlotte, who is a member of the royal family, is the one who should not be provoked the most. Fortunately, the attitude between him and her has improved, so there is no need to worry.

But Charlotte's route was too close to the other two.

In a sense, although Charlotte is the one you should not mess with, she is also the easiest to deal with.

As for the other two girls, one is the most dangerous and the other is the most terrifying. If possible, Roy doesn't even want to see them.

Only the last one, Nia Jasmine, seemed to Roy the most troublesome, but also the safest.

In the original work, Alice miscalculated the date and reported to the academy a day in advance, which led to her meeting Nia who was being hunted by smugglers and a group of thieves on the road. By chance, she saved Nia's life.

After that, Nia Jasmine couldn't stand the 'evil young Roy' bullying the little maid Alice, so in order to repay Alice's kindness, she repeatedly tried to obstruct him and even took the initiative to pick a fight with the 'evil young Roy'.

Although she was looking for trouble, Nia's counterattack was just a prank like throwing rotten eggs and tomatoes. She didn't start a fight to the death from the beginning. Compared with other Destiny Girls, she was much milder.

If I really meet Nia, it would be better than meeting the other two.

Fortunately, things went better than Roy expected.

After moving into the hotel, he completely stopped having encounters with Nia.

It seems that there is no so-called plot correction power in this world.

The plot of "Angel Rondo" is calculated based on favorability. If an event is missing, the favorability will be reduced.

As long as you keep avoiding Nia like this time, you will greatly reduce the possibility of triggering the original plot line! If you are lucky, you may not even trigger the reversal node!

During dinner, Alice gave Roy a reminder.

"Master, I heard that there was a conflict with a gang of thieves across the street. The boss told us not to go out tonight."

"Hey~ It's a rare opportunity for us to come to the Academy, why don't we go out for a walk?!" Chocolate, who was eating at the side, raised his head, holding a piece of bread in his mouth, and yelled in dissatisfaction.

After spending these days together, Qiao Ke has completely believed that Roy has turned over a new leaf. He has even become much better-tempered, bolder, and more disrespectful.

"Stupid sister, it's up to the master to decide what to do!"

However, every time this happened, her sister Vanilla would grab the tail and punish her, causing the black-haired cat girl to scream.

"I was just saying it casually, meow!"

"That won't work! What if the young master encounters a gang of thieves..."

Roy wasn't afraid of danger, but he was afraid of running into a certain elf girl.

God knows how long Nia Jasmine has been chased by the thieves. Just in case, it is better to hide tonight.

"Sorry, forget it tonight. We still have a long time to go to the academy anyway, so I'll accompany you guys to take a leisurely tour in a few days." As he said this, Roy stared straight at Alice.

"Master, will you accompany us for a walk?" Alice pondered over the boy's words hesitantly.

"Yeah." Roy nodded.

Although the Girl of Destiny is a trouble, it's a rare opportunity to come to a big city like the Citadel, and it would be a shame not to take Alice for a walk.

"Everything is as the master wishes." The little maid responded obediently, a hint of expectation flashed in her clear blue eyes, and her beautiful feet in small leather shoes swayed under the table.

The streets of the Citadel were bustling and bustling, a refreshing sight. But for Alice, being with Roy made her feel more at ease.

Rather, she wasn't really that interested in shopping, but Roy's suggestion to go shopping together actually piqued her interest.

"There are many lively places in the Citadel. Alice can think carefully about where we should go when the time comes."

"Anywhere is fine, as long as Alice is by the master's side, it's enough."

The little maid tilted her head and looked back at the boy, calmly and confidently, yet expressing her true feelings as if it were a matter of course.

Under the slightly orange light, Alice's pretty face was outlined with a warm and soft outline, which caused a faint ripple in Roy's heart and made him lose his mind unconsciously.

"?" Alice tilted her head in confusion, not quite understanding why the other party suddenly froze.

"Ahhhh! If we're going shopping, Choco wants to go... woo!"

The noisy Chocolate was silenced by a hidden member of the fan club, so as not to disturb the warmth between the master and servant.

Chapter 17 Admission

The next morning, Roy changed into the Central Continent Magic Academy uniform.

The school spirit of the Magic Academy is free. As long as they wear school uniforms, students can freely choose the color and style.

A slim-fitting dark suit jacket, fitted trousers of the same color, a leather belt in the middle, and a red tie tied around his neck.

The black-haired boy in the mirror exudes the elegance and demeanor of an aristocratic gentleman in his every move, while still retaining the masculinity and handsomeness unique to youth.

Roy was quite satisfied with this outfit.

"This suits the master very well."

The little maid beside her had her eyes lit up and offered praise.

"But please wait a moment..."

"Alice?"

The little maid suddenly stood on tiptoe and came forward.

The soft golden hair exuded the fragrant scent of irises, which tickled Roy's heart.

She stretched out her tender little white hand and gently and carefully helped Roy adjust his tie, then straightened his collar. Only then did she stop, look over, and nod with satisfaction.

"That's perfect. This uniform is like it was tailor-made for its owner."

Alice's straightforward and undisguised praise always made Roy embarrassed.

"Compared to me, Alice is prettier, right?"

"Ugh?"

Alice also changed into her school uniform today. Her figure, which was different from the maid's short skirt, made Roy feel both familiar and fresh.

Although he had already seen her in the original illustrations, he was still amazed by the girl's graceful figure when he saw her with his own eyes.

Alice chose a pure white outfit, a blazer that accentuated her feminine figure, and a knee-length skirt that resembled a flower bud. The delicate bow at the neckline added a touch of cuteness, while the black calf socks beneath the skirt accentuated her slender legs.

The morning light trickled in through the window, casting a soft veil over the girl. Although her face was expressionless, she didn't appear distant; instead, she looked endearing, like an angel fallen into the mortal world.

"Really?" Alice turned around and looked at the mirror blankly, seemingly unaware of her outstanding appearance.

We are about to go out and cannot disturb the girl's hairstyle.

Roy finally resisted the urge to pat her head and said with a smile, "Of course, Alice is probably the most beautiful girl in this class!"

"...As long as the master likes it." Alice was stunned for a moment before replying in a low voice.

The most beautiful girl...is she more beautiful than that princess?

The blonde girl felt an inexplicable throbbing emotion in her heart, and a hint of joy appeared in her originally cold eyes.
