28. Cracked meeting
The next generation of family heads? What a presumptuous tone, he must have said something in a state of mind where he thought that there would never be a challenger in the clan who could threaten his position.
But Kenneth certainly doesn't see this mentality as hubris, and in his mind, it's the result of no doubt, no need to worry about it, and don't overtry it.
Purple thought very unhappily and was forced to stop.
"Thank you for your care and have a great day at the Clock Tower."
Purple replied politely with one hand on her chest.
Although I don't know anything about the etiquette between nobles, as long as I don't deliberately find fault, Zi's actions are already very sincere.
But Kenneth frowned.
"Aosaki Zi, we met in the student dormitory, I didn't recognize it at that time, because my insight was not enough." Kenneth said it wasn't enough, but there was no modesty in his expression.
Purple's movements seemed rustic and stiff to Kenneth, and it was full of flaws, and it could be seen from the details that he was really an upstart hillbilly with no background.
It's just that the impurities and shortcomings of others, as long as they do not affect Kenneth's ideas and life, he can tolerate and understand, and as the future master of a famous family, appropriate tolerance is a quality that he recognizes.
"Ahaha, probably." Zigan laughed and began to curse Kenneth in his heart.
Knowing that he got cheap, he was still talking about it aggressively, did he think that he didn't show off his power enough, and he wanted to do it again? Purple's principle is to keep a low profile, but not to be bullied three times and twice to be humiliated.
"The magicians of the Aozaki family are very good in the future, I have also heard of Sister Ling's name, I have not met an opponent in the clock tower, and I will definitely be a first-class magician in the future." Kenneth mentions the orange, but there is no admiration or admiration in his tone, only the regret of not being able to defeat the other party head-on.
The name of genius was not taken to Kenneth by heart, and the outcome of victory or defeat was predestined.
"You're right, my talent is still too far from my sister's, even if my sister teaches her best, I haven't even learned the skin." Anger rose in Zi's heart, but her smile grew brighter and brighter.
It is unforgivable to belittle my sister at will.
It's just that she has some talent in fluid operation, so she dares to comment on Sister Orange who has a peerless puppeteer talent? Not to mention whether Sister Orange has the talent to blow you up, even if she doesn't, except for Sister Qingzi and him, no one is qualified to accuse you like this.
No one, not even parents.
What about the nine generations of magic masters, if he was afraid, he would not have risked learning magic at all.
A dangerous look flashed in Purple's eyes, and she lowered her gaze slightly as a cover.
Kenneth's face darkened.
Purple is also well-known in the Clock Tower's healing department now, although Kenneth didn't see him as a challenge and threat, but raising the orange so highly, wouldn't it mean that the orange can be compared to him, it's really a joke!
"Hearing so many beautiful words, I would like to meet Sister Ling even more, and compete in the fair way of a magician." Kenneth remained restrained, but his words had unconsciously smacked of provocation.
The students in the hallway also gradually gathered and whispered, Kenneth's fame was so great that his every move was watched.
"Really...... Want to compete? β
Purple said dismissively, and then suddenly caught a card between her fingers.
"Get past me first, Elite Mr. Kenneth!"
Before the words fell, Purple rushed towards Kenneth at the speed of a violent wind.
"You ......"
Kenneth looked stunned.
He hadn't realized what was going on.
The skills that Purple has accumulated by exercising with bears in the mountains are reflected in this short-distance run.
Agile footwork, the landing point of each step is adjusted to prevent possible counter-attack magic.
Worrying is unnecessary, though.
"burningfire, Kindlehim!"
Purple leaped a foot away from Kenneth.
Without punches or kicks, an orange-red flame was already burning in his right hand, and he pressed down on Kenneth's blue coat.
"Actually used a dastardly sneak attack...... Uh, uh~ Ahh!!h β
Kenneth, who had no prior preparations, no summons, and didn't even have time to take out the magic dress to use, was corroded by the flames, and the flames spread rapidly along the fabric, turning into a burning man, and a lot of sparks splashed on the wooden planks in the corridor, igniting the wood.
The onlookers suddenly let out an exclamation, and the timid ones immediately scattered and fled.
Kenneth screamed, the pain coming from him so severe that he couldn't even pronounce the incantation in its entirety.
However, Purple, who was the culprit, took out another blue card.
"Rain!"
So the corridor that was still burning just now turned into rain in the blink of an eye.
The flames in the hallway and Kenneth were extinguished, but in a matter of moments, Kenneth's coat was almost scrapped, and the skin on the surface was burned.
Of course, this kind of Cheng DΓΉ's burn is just a trivial matter for the magician, even if he is burned out, it is only a serious injury, if he is not attacked, Kenneth will not be beaten so miserably.
"Dirty lowly rat ......" Kenneth quickly came to his senses and cursed resentfully at Purple next to him.
However, Purple then slashed into the back of his neck, knocking Kenneth unconscious, and then his hand lit up with healing light.
"If you want to challenge Sister Orange, let's talk about it if you can beat me, a scum with no sense of fighting......"
To be honest, it was beyond Purple's expectations to be so easy, but I didn't expect Kenneth to really eat the theory of fair duels in his bones, and he was easily knocked out.
The technique to treat burns quickly allowed Kenneth's injuries to recover at a speed visible to the naked eye, but at this time, Purple raised her head and shouted to the students who were still around: "Don't panic, Kenneth-san is fine, this is what I asked Kenneth to try out the effect of the treatment on the human body, he gladly agreed, I will thank him later." β
"I see, is it active?"
"I just heard about the student dormitories, and it seems that they really know each other."
"I didn't expect that the heir of the Aqipolud family is not only talented, but also eager to help others."
Although there were doubts, there were also students who occasionally heard only a few words understand, so they quickly reached a consensus.
How could Kenneth, the recognized genius of the Academy, be defeated so lightly, especially the hillbilly from the country, who turned out to be experimenting to help others...... Uh-huh, that's it.
They are all future magicians, and everyone rationally ignores the unreasonable, and a famous family is a famous family.
The majesty and reputation of the aristocratic family are absolutely untainted.
Purple accepted it when she saw it, but in order to cooperate with the performance, even if she was extremely happy, Purple still accompanied Kenneth through the whole process of treatment with a worried expression, and then Kenneth also woke up.
His eyes burned with humiliation and resentment.
Purple patted him on the shoulder.
"Don't worry, your reputation won't be damaged, if you're dissatisfied, you can come to me at any time, but if you fail, I'm not responsible for the aftermath."
After saying that, Purple helped Kenneth up, then said thank you loudly and turned to leave.
The sun shone on Kenneth's eyes, and Kenneth froze in place, forgetting to vent his inner humiliation for a while.
Thank you...... And the last words, do you want to turn hostility into friendship? Don't even think about it, such an insult can only be washed away with the blood and defeat of the enemy, but ...... that reputation will not be damaged?
β¦β¦
The next day, Purple is called to her office by Anne.

PS: The director is really weak in his regular state, and he is always delusional to show his talent by fighting fairly in the way of magicians.
