Chapter 120: Look at This Demon King
"The winner is Rin Fenix!"
After the battle of the day's magical structure, Rin walked out of the training room, rubbed his chin, thought deeply, and felt someone holding his arm after a few steps.
"Little Rin, you're amazing!"
Rin rolled his eyes, flicked Elise's ahoge hair with his hand, and said, "Silly goose, do you praise after understanding?"
"Anyway, Little Rin winning is great! And Little Rin will definitely not lose!"
Naturally, Rin wouldn't be boastful because of the silly elk's praise. If this guy didn't praise him three times a day, he wouldn't be a deer.
As for Waste Hero, let's not even mention her. She can't pass math and is a total mess in art subjects. Can she understand anything at all?
I really envy hero jobs, even a pig can be buffed into a marshal, right?
Rin finally focused on Suyu, "That hurricane arrow just now, where did it go wrong? I thought it could defeat the opponent directly, why is it much weaker than I imagined?"
Suyu chuckled, took a step closer to Rin, about to whisper something to him, but all of a sudden, Elise and Emilia instinctively blocked her way.
The fox disguised with brown eyes narrowed slightly, looked at Elise, quickly understood her thoughts, and a hint of mocking smile appeared on her lips.
Interesting, what can you do together anyway?
In a flash of thought, Lord Demon King felt a bit proud inside, but remained indifferent on the surface, "The key is you didn't pay attention to the flow of elements."
"Huh? What do you mean?"
Rin asked as he walked towards another training room, where you could see second-year students battling through the glass.
"Look, elements create and counteract each other. In this enclosed setting, the magic circle can only contain a limited amount of elements, which means the power it produces is not fixed, and it can change over time. For example, if both sides use ice magic and fire magic, it will increase the wind elements in the scene. At that moment, if you cast wind magic, the abundance of wind elements will greatly enhance the power of wind magic."
Rin's eyes lit up immediately, "I see! So even in real battles, closed spaces can be just as effective."
"Yes, and there are also bonuses from different elemental quantities in various settings. All of these are considerations for battles. However, beginners lack sufficient understanding and perception of elements. Even if they know theory, they may not be able to analyze it during actual combat. Therefore, training in analyzing elemental changes and estimating potential variables caused by different types of magic is essential for an excellent magician. It's the essence of mastering spells."
Suyu said, winking at Rin, "Don't worry, I will teach you all of this slowly, I guarantee I'll teach you better than the teachers at this school~"
Despite her somewhat teasing tone, Rin still found the Demon King's words very convincing.
It's still true that no one can surpass Suyu in understanding magic. Compared to her, the current Demon King is like a well-built gorilla.
Elise shook her curly hair and curiously asked, "I've been wondering, Xingli, aren't you a spear warrior? Why do you know so much about magic?"
Even Emilia's gaze was firmly fixed on her.
Just like Elise, it wasn't due to any "love rival" situation or the string of glaring danger signs. It was a different feeling...
Just like how some things never seem to get along, this was the first time Waste Hero felt this hostile.
"Well, maybe I have a secret rare double profession, right Rin?"
"Hmm, let's keep this a secret from everyone."
Rin was full of theories about elements and didn't pay much attention. He waved goodbye to a few girls and left.
These days, he had been in various selection competitions, and unsurprisingly, his team matches, individual championships, and spell deconstruction contests were all successful. With less than two days left until the final results, everything seemed fine.
As for the team hunting competition, it seemed that all teams would enter the Southern Wilderness, the largest gathering place for monsters in the kingdom, along with two other schools. Before that, there would be preliminary selections based on the personal skills of each team.
Rin withdrew his thoughts and found himself in the classroom without realizing it. Since it was already after school hours, and with various selection matches going on, there was no one here for self-study.
He was ready to learn more about spells and elemental knowledge from the fox.
Meanwhile, Waste Hero sat next to Rin, and the silly elk sat next to Suyu, surrounding the table with a defensive stance.
The Lord Demon King was annoyed that he couldn't tease the younger students alone, so he had to explain things seriously.
As the night grew late and quiet, Suyu tossed and turned in her dorm room, unable to resist the urge to sneak out.
With a more cautious approach this time, she quietly used her magic to sense Elise and Emilia's rooms, her expression turning serious.
The princess was sleeping soundly like a pig, but the hero... was nowhere to be found?
She realized she should have paid more attention to the hero's whereabouts.
Feeling a bit of regret, the Lord Demon King walked to the window and activated his "magic eye," spotting a blue-haired girl sitting on the windowsill of the boys' dormitory across the courtyard.
"They're on high alert!"
Suyu's mood darkened as she started to consider whether she should just forget everything and send the hero to a far-off land.
Well, that idea wouldn't work at all.
Because no matter if it's a princess or a hero... very reluctantly said, they are both very important people in the younger brother's heart. If she takes action, the younger brother will probably be very sad, and may no longer pay attention to her.
...
The next day, on Saturday...okay, Saturday, only had half a day of classes. In the afternoon, Rin didn't rush home, but instead led his small team to train at the old training ground.
The only ones training seriously were Rin and the silly elk.
Waste Hero sat on the side continuously stuffing snacks into his mouth, while Lord Demon King lazily played with the black long spear in his hand, as if he could turn it into flowers.
Rin was tired and panting, asking Elise to cast a purification spell on him, then aggressively charged towards the carefree two girls.
"Do you still have any teamwork spirit?! Train well for me! Don't act like a parasite! What are you looking at, all you know is eating! Sooner or later, you'll turn into a chubby orange. And you, don't think you're great just because you're of a high level..."
Rin took a deep breath, forced himself to take back the accusations against the Demon King.
Do you really need a level eighty-nine big shot to play house with you?
Suyu glanced at him and patted his shoulder, saying, "Come on, I can be your cheerleader."
Saying that, a touch of magic quietly flowed from the fingertips into Rin's body, while Suyu casually moved away from Rin when Emilia pushed her hand aside.
