Chapter 142: Into Master Fenix's Heart!
The next morning, the three girls emerged from the tent full of energy.
Thanks to some unexpected events during the night, both Emilia and Elise were in a good mood now, as their depleted magic had fully recovered.
They had never experienced their magic running so low before, so they now realized the benefits of kissing.
Tundere (Little Rin) is truly Tundere (Little Rin), this must be the bonus brought by the harmony of body and soul!
Only Suyu originally recovered quickly, and his magic was not consumed much, so he didn't feel much.
As for Rin, usually he would wake up at the same time as Elise and then go wake up others, but today it took him a while to crawl out of the tent, he doesn't seem to have fully recovered yet.
As soon as his gaze met Waste Hero's, his hand couldn't help but tremble, awkwardly turning his face away.
It's all because of this incompetent hero who lacks common sense... How could he suddenly do that! So shameless!
Although he would occasionally accidentally touch during playful moments... When he directly touched, he felt very flustered. When flustered, he would start to overthink, thinking about recent unexpected kisses and things, then blaming himself for his own dirtiness, lack of restraint, and feeling guilty, resulting in not sleeping well through the latter half of the night.
After adjusting for half the night, he now feels like everything is okay.
After having a light breakfast, the group was ready to head back.
Rin's idea was simple, just ambush near the gathering point and then ambush once, and on the way back, they could also collect some loot.
They were rushing along and by the evening of the sixth day, they were only about 30 kilometers away from the gathering point.
Rin originally planned to travel a bit more and then wait for opportunities, but Suyu stopped him not long after.
"There are people ahead on the left, seven small groups."
"So many?!"
Rin exclaimed in surprise, but didn't doubt what Suyu said.
Lord Demon King had a special skill called Thousand Miles Magic Eye.
Those who knew Suyu understood that Lord Demon King never exaggerated his abilities and was even overly modest.
The Thousand Miles Magic Eye was not an exaggeration; it really could see and hear things from thousands of miles away.
The skill had three modes, the first one enhanced vision and passive senses, which barely consumed magic power, and could observe everything within a range of up to twenty kilometers.
The second one is the true Thousand Miles Magic Eye, which allows you to see things within a range of five hundred to a thousand kilometers. However, this skill has various restrictions, like daily usage and cooldown time, as well as consuming a lot of magic power.
The third type allows you to mark up to five people in the range of the second type and quickly lock onto them.
They were currently in the wild, so the first mode of the Thousand Miles Magic Eye, Suyu, was always on, allowing them to see clearly what was happening nearby.
"The two teams that the junior brother wants to snatch are also among them, quite interesting."
Hearing this, Rin's eyes lit up, "Let's go, let's follow and watch the excitement!"
...
"Miss Karen, please forgive me for being nosy, but can you guarantee that nothing will happen to us if we do this?"
John looked worried and respectfully asked the freckled girl in charge.
"Do you think my promises are fake? Don't worry, according to the traditions of our Royal Academy, if you lose in a skill challenge, you lose. Even if you take everyone, the school won't trouble you. Otherwise, why do you think the teachers following us from afar haven't made any move?"
"I'm not afraid of the school, but of Master Fenix. I heard he is very vengeful and cruel. If we do this..."
"What are you afraid of!"
Karen's voice suddenly rose sharply, "My father is also a duke! Would I lie to you? Besides, what can he do? The Sword Saint is now working at the school, she is very fair, won't tolerate any nonsense, often scolds and disciplines that naughty boy. Do you think she would allow him to retaliate? And I can protect you as well!"
Saying that, she turned to the others in the team and continued, "Since you commoners can't get a spot, I promise each of you a big sum of money once this is done, I never break my word."
Hearing this, the other team members showed a hint of joy on their faces, praising the duke's second daughter.
Karen looked proud, "Fenix, how dare you treat my sister so viciously. This time I will make you lose face! You won't be able to show your face at school."
Her sister is the noble young lady who bullied Suyu disguised as a weak senior sister in the library last time, and was then scolded by Rin and given laxatives, the result was obvious... She had to take leave and stay at home since then.
Unfortunately, not long after staying at home, her sister started having hair loss, and then she was too afraid to go out again. The whole family thought it was because of Rin's medicine.
Even though she later got cured, it left an indelible shadow on her sister, filled with hatred towards the wicked Fenix. But there was nothing they could do, as they had no proof and lacked the courage to take legal action.
Karen still remembers the shame deeply, and now she finally found a chance for revenge. She persuaded a group of students from other colleges to confront Rin.
Everyone else was praising, but John's eyes showed a hint of mockery. He remained silent, standing quietly in a corner.
Those fools had no idea about the affairs among the upper-class nobles. They believed Karen's family also held a duke title, so they thought they could be protected. One by one, they all got involved in those trivial matters.
Unlike him, who had gathered all the information needed to climb up the ladder.
Both are dukes, but these two families are not comparable. One is just a title, the other is a powerful minister with real authority.
But can the Sword Saint continue to watch his brother without preventing him from his misdeeds?
Fenix is not someone you can provoke. It is said that a prince and princess from a certain country were humiliated in front of the king's daughter just because they had a dispute with him.
Can such a reckless person be provoked by a clueless young lady who lacks self-awareness?
Anyway, he had already decided to change sides when the time comes.
Hmm, listening to what the other teams said, they saw Fenix's team being chased by a large group of flat-headed pheasants. By the time they rushed back, they must have been exhausted, even if their combat strength was strong, it would be greatly reduced.
Back then, by supporting him and helping him achieve first place, he would surely win the favor of this annoying young nobleman, enter his heart, and become a true confidant.
He had everything planned out well, even starting to imagine being specially recruited into the noble academy, and entering a bright future full of golden opportunities.
At that moment, a familiar voice full of extreme arrogance rang out.
"You in the front, you are now surrounded by me. Surrender all the loot obediently, or don't blame me for smashing your heads. Hmm, I wonder if pig heads count as loot, and how many points they are worth?"
