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

The whips fell to the ground like raindrops, and wherever they touched, whether it was branches or trees, terrifying green smoke would come out as if corroded by sulfuric acid.

This was Alice's first actual combat with a superhuman.

Unlike the huge, clumsy, and low-IQ sub-dragons, the extraordinary ones have much sharper reactions.

Alice tried to get closer several times, but was noticed by the other party and forced back with a whip.

The disadvantage in attack range made her suppressed by Yana.

But she adapted quickly.

The light blue eyes swayed along the trajectory of the whip, and the next moment, the blonde girl drew her sword and rushed towards Yana like a hound.

"This, this bitch...!"

[Poison Ivy] is an excellent whip master and also has a very strong predictive ability.

That's why Yana was able to see Alice's movements.

The opponent wanted to take her attack head-on and exchange injury for injury!

What a joke! If it had been at the beginning, it would have been fine. But after such a fight, didn't she realize that my whip has corrosive properties? She's willing to get hurt herself and die together?!

Looking at the blonde girl's eyes that were colder than the sword, Yana finally became afraid.

At first, she just wanted to bully Alice unilaterally. Later, she was so angry that she wanted to fight with real swords and guns, but she never thought about having a life-and-death duel.

Yana withdrew her hand in time and exclaimed, "What are you standing there for! Help me!"

If Alice and Yana are evenly matched, the other six guards are the chips that change the balance.

Spear, fireball, iron fist, blade, lightning, ice blade, six types of attacks hit Alice head-on.

Alice swung the sword violently, and holy light suddenly appeared.

The sharp blade of light neutralized the incoming attacks one by one, but every time the girl slashed with the sword, she retreated due to the corresponding impact force. In the end, she was still thrown out and rolled outside in a somewhat embarrassed manner.

When she stabbed the ground to steady herself, she saw a long scarlet whip falling straight down from above her head.

The girl's pupils suddenly shrank.

At this critical moment, even she herself did not realize that a faint holy light was emanating from her whole body.

But before the whip fell, a sharp cold light flashed through the air.

The long whip surrounded by poisonous gas was helplessly knocked down by the flying knife, like a poisonous snake attacked by an eagle.

Just when she was about to succeed, she was stopped. Yana looked towards the attacker angrily: "Who?!"

A green-haired girl was standing on a tall tree.

The girl had a playful look on her face, leaning against a branch, casually throwing a flying knife, glancing sideways in the breeze and fallen leaves, with an inexplicable quietness and aloofness.

Until she suddenly spoke in a melancholy tone.

"Everyone who knew my name is dead..."

"Nia Lily! I'm only looking for Alice, stop meddling in my business!"

"Hey, can't you just cooperate a little?" Nia muttered resentfully, then jumped up and came to Alice's side.

Nia patted her chest and said proudly, "Alice is my good sister. I will take care of her affairs! If you want to fight, I will fight you to the end!"

Alice on the side was a little confused: "But we are just classmates."

This question almost made Nia fall headfirst. She turned back helplessly to explain to the other party, "No, sister is just a metaphor, it means that we have a good relationship..."

"enough!"

Yana screamed in frustration, feeling she had been completely fooled.

If possible, she would certainly like to beat the two bitches in front of her until their skin was torn to pieces.

But the extraordinary fluctuations emanating from the green-haired girl continued to surge, that was the aura that only Sequence 8 possessed!

The members of Sequence 8 were all well-known figures, but Yana remembered that Nia was not among them.

This guy actually hid a trick and concealed it from the detection crystal of the Magic Academy!

If a fight breaks out between two Sequence 8s, the best outcome would be mutual destruction.

"Just wait, this matter is not over yet!" After much hesitation, Yana could only utter a cruel word viciously, covering her bloody face and left.

"So funny! He ran away right away! I thought he was so powerful! He's good at bullying people, but when it comes to a fight, he's a complete coward!"

Undisguised laughter echoed, and Yana, who was walking halfway, was so angry that the nosebleed that had just stopped with great difficulty spurted out all over the floor again.

Roy, Alice, and now Nia.

She vowed to repay today's humiliation a hundredfold!

Chapter 39 Alice is the best

Arya and Yana were celebrities among the freshmen, and the news of their conflict quickly spread throughout the school.

After this incident, Nia and Alice lost interest in class and returned to Roy's residence. They asked other classmates to bring a message to Roy.

After learning about this, Roy asked for leave without hesitation and rushed to Alice as quickly as possible.

The magic academy uses a credit system, so as long as you have enough credits at the end of the semester, it is very convenient to take leave during normal times.

After pushing the door open, the boy rushed to the blonde girl on the sofa without even a second's pause.

"Alice! Are you okay? Are you hurt anywhere?!"

"I'm fine..."

While asking, Roy's hands were busy. He touched Alice from head to toe, and even rubbed her fair face back and forth three times, making it a little red.

The boy breathed a sigh of relief after confirming that the other party was not injured.

The girl responded weakly, but did not resist. She was obedient like a doll that allowed others to play with it.

Then Roy was kicked by Nia, neither light nor heavy.

Nia, who was standing by, blushed. "Hey! What are you doing to a girl?!"

"I'm not in a hurry." Roy scratched his head embarrassedly.

Being anxious is the reason why you touch girls randomly - Nia wanted to ask loudly like this, but seeing that Alice did not refuse and even seemed a little unsatisfied, she finally swallowed her words back.

Roy, on the other hand, looked at Nia intently.

Alice's clothes were just torn and slightly muddy, but Nia didn't even have a speck of dust on her.

The elf girl was a little frightened by the stare. She sat at the far end of the sofa with her arms folded across her chest and said warily, "What are you doing? I'm not hurt, don't touch me."

"Then I feel relieved." Roy smiled at her with relief.

This smile made Nia feel inexplicably itchy in her heart, and she didn't know what to say for a moment.

And Roy turned his gaze back to Alice.

Although she was not injured, the blonde girl lowered her head, bent her legs, hugged her knees, and curled up in a corner of the sofa. Her whole body was covered with a shadow of melancholy, no longer her usual radiance, and her mood was visibly at its lowest.

Like a pitiful puppy.

This reminded Roy of the first time they went shopping, when Alice was lost in the rainy night.

Seeing this, Roy's heart, which had finally been put at ease, was in suspense again.

Although her body was not injured, a girl's heart is delicate and sensitive. In Roy's previous life, many people who experienced school bullying were left with lifelong pain that was difficult to heal.

Could it be that Alice is also traumatized?!

Roy could hardly stand just thinking about it.

Roy half-knelt beside her, placed his hand on the girl's shoulder, gently soothing her, and said softly and concernedly: "Alice, what exactly happened? If you don't mind, tell me."

Alice was silent for a moment before slowly telling what had happened.

During the whole process, she stared straight into the void, not daring to look into Roy's eyes.

Rather than fear or anger, what overwhelmed the girl was a deep sense of shame.

As the master's maid, you should always protect your master's reputation.

Yana seemed to be coming towards him, but in fact she was targeting her master and was his enemy.

But she failed to win and made the other party pay the price for humiliating her master. This was what Alice could not tolerate.

At the end of her speech, Alice lowered her head even lower, and her voice began to tremble.

"Alice, I've let you down."

Roy paused slightly: "Why do you say that?"

"Alice clearly became stronger for this moment, but she still couldn't defeat her and couldn't save her master's face... I'm sorry, Alice is so useless."

The light blue eyes that remained unwavering even when facing a strong enemy were now gradually becoming moist.

Roy sighed helplessly, then sat on the sofa, reached out his hand, and hugged the girl's whole body.

This time, Nia didn't stop her.

"Stupid, that kind of thing is irrelevant."

"Ugh?"

"Alice is safe and sound, that's the most important thing."

"But......"

The little maid seemed unable to accept this, but when Roy gently placed his palm on her head and stroked it back and forth, her tense body relaxed at once.

"Outnumbered against a Sequence 8 enemy, yet still able to defend yourself? With such a record, there's no need to blame yourself."

In Roy's opinion, she had done quite well. You have to remember that at this point in the original story, Alice was so clumsy that she couldn't even use her supernatural powers properly, and was bullied by a group of nameless NPCs and couldn't fight back.

[Poison Ivy] is the famous Silver Bloodline of the Kingdom of Sands, plus a full six Sequence 9s. Even if he only uses [Iron Blood], he may not be able to do better than Alice.

"Well......"

If possible, Alice would like to beat the other party so that he would never dare to act so presumptuously again.

However, now, she really couldn't resist the praise from her master.

The breath that drifted into her ears and the warmth that lingered around her made her body so soft that it seemed as if it was about to melt.

The girl raised her head slightly, looked over with tearful eyes, and cautiously asked, "Really? Did Alice really not disappoint the master?"

Such an adorable look made Roy's heart ache.

The boy blurted out with pride, "Of course, Alice is the best. I should be the one praising you!"

"!"

A feeling of happiness flooded Alice's chest, completely dispelling her uneasiness and guilt.

Alice responded lightly, burying her slightly flushed cheeks completely in Roy's arms and rubbing against him gently, like some kind of small animal seeking favor.

If she had a tail, it would have been wagging non-stop.

But this heartwarming scene seemed a little too dazzling in Nia's eyes.

None of the young couples in the class can show off their love! It's really a living hell for me to stay here!

"You guys continue, I'm going back first."

Nia, feeling like a third wheel, was about to get up and leave, but unexpectedly Roy looked up at her.

"Niya, thank you so much this time."

If it weren't for Nia, the battle between Alice and Yana might not have ended so easily. Roy was truly grateful that Nia was able to stay by Alice's side and help her when he was not there.

Nia waved her hand and smiled sheepishly: "What are you thanking me for? It's only natural between friends~"

"Didn't you tell me to be a good friend to Alice? This time I'll just consider it as repaying your favor."

Compared to the girl's lightness, Roy was very serious.

The agreement at that time had no binding force, and whether to help Arya was not driven by interests. It was entirely based on Nia's personal wishes, which made it more precious.

"You're willing to keep your verbal agreement, which shows that you really care about Alice."

"I want to thank you not only for repaying my favor, but also for caring about your friendship with Arya."
