Chapter 4: The Tenacity of Earth and Stone

"What's the matter?" Ling Yun went down to the stairs and saw the three of them sitting on the edge of the flower bed chatting.

"Hello brother."

"Hello brother."

"Hmm." The conversation starts off a little weirdly.

"It's two adults." Ah Jing winked at Ling Yun for some reason.

"Brother, hug." The little girl walked up to Ling Yun without hesitation.

"Hmm." Ling Yun glanced at the little girl, pondered for a while, and then bent down and lifted the little girl onto her left shoulder.

The little boy was stunned for a moment, then suddenly stood up, ran to Ling Yun, and said with a pitiful look: "I want it too." ”

"Huh?" Ling Yun glanced at the little boy in surprise.

"I want to hug ....." The coquettish voice sounded, and Ling Yun almost lost his temper.

"I want it too!" Ah Jing suddenly jumped up.

As soon as Ling Yun moved slightly, Ah Jing immediately threw herself into the air and fell to the ground.

"Let's talk about it when we have a chance." Ling Yun replied to the two of them in a word, of course, thanks to Ah Jing's relief: "Are you interested in going for a walk around the periphery of the academy?" ”

After Ling Yun finished speaking, he walked to the door by himself.

You are not allowed to enter or leave within the specified time, but knowing that the three of you are of that level, it is no problem or safer to talk outside the campus. After all, I don't know if there is a [dean] in the academy, and I don't know if there are anyone in the faculty who can detect what they are saying.

"Ha, it's so eccentric, isn't it, little brother?" Ah Jing said with an unhappy smile.

"Don't call me little brother." The little boy rolled his eyes.

"What are you here for?" It only took a few moments for the four of them to go outside the academy, and there was no doubt that someone had used some kind of means.

"I'm here to deliver the letter." There was no need for Ling Yun to hide it.

"Letter? Whose? The little girl asked.

"Dean?" The little boy guessed.

"Why are you asking me this?" Ling Yun asked rhetorically.

"Because you're not interested in us?" The little boy said, "We, oh no, I heard you, hers. ”

"I'm interested in you." The little girl's face was expressionless from the beginning, and her tone did not change, making it impossible to know what she was thinking.

"Ouch, that's weird. Why? Ah Jing touched her mouth with her fingers.

"Because..... Brother looks good. There is still no tone attached to this sentence, and it is impossible to judge whether it is true or false.

But it was just such a sentence that made the little boy and Ah Jing both observe the sudden tremor of Ling Yun's body.

"Really, can I take a look?" The little boy said.

"Ah, maybe Brother Shi is just a big ugly man." Ah Jing added her own chips.

"I want to see it!!" The little boy stared at Ling Yun stubbornly.

"It's just a lie." Ling Yun looked at the little girl, who turned her head slightly.

"Really, I'm looking forward to it." Ah Jing said regretfully.

"What's your name?" Ling Yun asked, but he had no tone and expression, and he didn't favor anyone, so people didn't know who he was asking.

"My name is Ah Jing."

"My name is Kate."

"My name is .... Brother, my name is Athena. ”

As a result, all three of them said their names.

"My name is [Inheritance]." Ling Yun said.

"It's a pity that I can't see what my brother looks like." Ah Jing frowned rarely.

"I want to see the dean." Ling Yun said.

"If the dean is not here, can the vice dean be okay? But I hate him, I don't want to deal with him, and if it weren't for the fact that this academy was still interesting, I would have killed him a long time ago, that dead old man. Kate was rarely emotionally unstable.

"The Vice President hates civilians and [outsiders], or rather despises." Athena explained.

"Can't you be nobles?" Ling Yun complained.

"No, it's too much trouble to forge files or something." Kate complained.

"Then I'll have to find him somehow." Ah Jing said.

"Tournament, or the trial afterward," Athena added, "or provocation." ”

"Provocation is useless." That kind of person won't pay attention to this kind of provocation, Ling Yun said: "It's no problem to compete, you have to help with the trial." ”

The three of them looked at Ling Yun in surprise.

"I can't beat that girl at my age, but that knight, who has the talent to be a general but doesn't have the ability to be a marshal, it's easy to clean up. Of course, I want to emphasize the Lady of Lava. Kate had a regretful expression: "The closer you get to that time, the more monsters will appear." I.... Didn't even force him to do his best..."

"......" Lingyun was silent and turned his head to look at Athena: "What about the respected goddess of wisdom?" ”

"......." Athena looked at Ling Yun in silence.

"Oh, that's amazing." Ah Jing covered her mouth.

"Two kinds of magic." Athena stopped talking.

"What do you mean?" Ah Jing asked puzzled.

"We can help with the trial, it seems that there is another good show, I saw a lot of cause and effect in that old man." Kate said with interest, but didn't say why.

"Hey, you've been saying strange things all the time, you don't understand, why are you still happy?" Ah Jing looked embarrassed.

"Because it's interesting." Athena answered for the three.

"Ahh Kate looked back at the stone pillars along the way, Ling Yun's hand speed was getting faster and faster, and the flash on the outside of the magic glove on his hand almost lit up.

"No way, it is said that this magic has the lowest cooldown and the fastest increase in proficiency." Ling Yun explained that he hadn't stopped since he went outside.

"But the stone pillar alone can't defeat her." Ah Jing said.

"There's no chance of winning, of course I'm talking about the damage." Ling Yun explained, "But there must be other rules for the competition. ”

"That's right, in a ring battle, you can win by driving the enemy out of the ring." Kate said.

"But the trials don't work." Athena said.

"Naturally, there will be a plan then." Ling Yun stopped the afterimage in her hand, and suddenly the figure she saw [Xue Mo'er] that day suddenly appeared in her mind, she was walking alone on the road but kept her head down to deliberately avoid the sight of others, and the loneliness and helplessness could obviously be seen to be seeping into the bones: "What is the identity of [Xue Mo'er], how did you get into this academy?" ”

"My brother is very smart." Athena said.

"That's right, the [Lava Girl] is a child picked up by the [Dean], and because he is a [Untouchable], he has been looked down upon by the other students and teachers in the Academy, as well as the [Vice Dean]. No one interacted with her, so she was only accompanied by the ordinary rabbit that had also been picked up. Lonely. Kate suddenly became sad for some reason.

"But she's strong." Athena interjected suddenly.

"[Untouchable]?"

"It's just that the children whose parents died in the war, no country wants to accept them, and as a result, they become [untouchables] who are not even as good as civilians." Kate explained: "Even if you die suddenly, no one will notice, no one will care, no one will track you down, you can be trafficked or even work without getting paid, you will not be pitied if you are insulted or beaten, there is nothing to rely on, and even people who are also [untouchables] cannot marry each other, and they will live in the world as [objects] of small animals." If the dean doesn't come back within a year like last time, it is estimated that she will not just hang at the door for a barbecue like last time, and she may be cut to pieces by the jealous nobles in the street. ”

"What?!" Ling Yun frowned.

"That is to say, the bullying is very bad. A little girl that no one loves. Ah Jing sighed.

"Hmm." Ling Yun's expression suddenly returned to calm, but his hand moved, and it was faster than before.

"Do you want to do anything for her?" Athena said, "I advise you not. ”

"Hmm." Ling Yun replied that he still knew this bit of common sense.

"Or take her away." Ah Jing blinked, smiled innocently and said, "You have abducted more than one girl before, haven't you?" Me and my little fox sister are oh! ”

"That's what you put on me."

"Oh, that looks like fun." Kate's nose twitched, like a cat that smelled fish.

"Hmm.... It's a long time to say, do you want to listen to it? "It doesn't matter if Ling Yun arrives, there is still plenty of time.

"Listen." Athena nodded with rare delight.

The competition is not a major event of the [Academy], but because it is a frequent event, the venue is still very carefully built a huge [Competition] for the competition between the colleges.

The Colosseum-style circular staircase arena has a square competition ring with a length and width of 50 meters in the center, and not far from the edge is the seats of the judges and rescue teachers, and then to the back is the audience staircase that continues to extend to the heights.

"Unexpected many!" Yanyun looked around with his half-hung wooden bow, but Ling Yun, who had disappeared for a long time, still did not appear: "Big brother, that guy is really, he left me and ran away, but he still hasn't come back." Well.... Throw away the raccoon dog.... Well...... Sure enough, it was a pickled girl. ”

"Ah~" A sharp shout suddenly sounded beside him.

As soon as Yanyun turned his head, he saw a beautiful ice sculpture suddenly beside him.......

"Ahh I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm not paying attention, I'm sorry I'm all over the place, I'm sorry. Yanyun hurriedly cleaned up the invisible trap at his feet, and then suddenly said to the girl with a hippie smile like a different person: "Hey, Miss, you are so beautiful, do you want to find a boyfriend?" ”

"Ah~~ah! Perverted! The thawed girl slapped the smoke cloud, turned her head and ran away in a panic.

"Oh~~~ Why don't I have my big brother's big stinky face~~Woo~~" Yanyun touched his face and stood up and complained.

That's when ......

"Whoa!!" An astonishing shout suddenly erupted from the scene, and everyone's attention was instantly absorbed into the ring.

"The first one to come to the stage was [Jaffend] !!" The shouting at close range almost deafed Yanyun, but he thought that his ears had finally been saved, but one sentence from [Jaffend] completely deafened him:

"The [outsider] who just entered the school is called [Inheritance]! Weren't you invited by the Lady of Lava to compete today? In that case, why don't you fight me first! Of course, there really are only two tricks! Hahaha! ”

"It's looking for death." Yanyun sighed: "You shouldn't say this, I'll play with you later." ”

"Really? In that case, I agree to your invitation. A loud voice came from the entrance, and Ling Yun walked slowly into the venue.

"Hahahaha~~" The audience erupted in violent laughter.

They all knew that Ling Yun was only level 30, and [Jaffend] was level 50, so as long as he passed the trial, he could enter the next class.

I have never seen such an arrogant newcomer, and it is not surprising that the audience burst into laughter.

"Big brother, what will you do?" Yanyun looked at Lingyun who entered the arena with interest.

"Looks like that old man has done something nasty." Kate, who was sitting on Ling Yun's shoulder, was in a particularly good mood: "Why don't I go and help you get rid of that dead old man now." ”

"Why are [Reiko], [Hanira] and [Strange Girl] by his side?! Is it a collection of untouchables? ”

"Hahaha~~" The audience burst into laughter again.

"No need." Athena said expressionlessly.

As soon as Athena's words fell, the audience suddenly became silent.

Yanyun suddenly found that his body was trembling again, and the endless fear of wanting to escape reappeared in his heart without warning.

Lingyun jumped into the ring.

Murderous.....

Kate and Athena were silent like a tidal wave in a storm, and the temperature dropped to freezing in an instant, and [Jaffend] felt her heart tremble.

Ling Yun raised his pupils to look around the audience, and finally his gaze fell on [Jaffend].

Mountains of corpses and a sea of blood filled the venue, the smell of death rushed to the face, the smell of despair killed the last sense of smell, and the cries of terror and helplessness seemed to linger in the ears.

Monster.......
