Chapter 43 The Confession of the Phoenix
Unwilling, self-blaming, but helpless and powerless, this is how Phoenix feels now. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ๏ฝ๏ฝ๏ฝU๏ฝEใ ๏ฝ๏ฝ๏ฝ๏ฝ
She has always been a genius, she is a strong man, in the south she used to be the strongest school officer, now the youngest general, in the north disguised as a battle mage, she is the first disciple of the blood phoenix.
Phoenix has always been the position and perspective of the superior, she has never been a weakling, but now, for the first time, she has become the weaker party, and it is a lie to say that she has not been subjected to a strong spiritual impact.
Poor students must not be able to beat the top students.
Ordinary soldiers can't beat non-commissioned officers.
The Wind and Thunder Mage can't beat the Battle Mage.
We can't beat the Super Being, Dragon Lord Susan.
All this is in front of you, it seems so natural, but it really stands in the poor life, ordinary soldiers, wind and thunder mages, and ...... From our standpoint, we will experience this kind of cruelty of course, and then we can't help but ask-
Why?
The top student must be better than the poor student, he may have a good family background, good professional talent, and he is still hardworking, but if my IQ is actually higher and I work harder, but I lose at a point that is not under my control, for example, the professional talent is not as good as the other party, for example, the speed is slow, causing me to be worse than him in the end, and become a "bad student", is this my fault?
The same is true for ordinary soldiers, they are often inferior to non-commissioned officers, not hard work, not military talent, not the quality and spirit of soldiers, but that damn talent, professional talent!
The Wind and Thunder Mage can't beat the Battle Mage, because according to the standards of the main plane, the Wind and Thunder Mage is a mid-level profession and belongs to the very mediocre among the professionals, but the Battle Mage is a high-level professional, and it is the pinnacle of the upper rank.
And we, the Wind and Thunder Mage and the Battle Mage, can't beat Super Life Susan, not because Susan knows more about fighting, has stronger abilities, has better morals, and is more trustworthy and convincing, but because she is a Super Life!
Why!!
Phoenix's breath was obviously a lot heavier, not because of the aggravation of the injury, but because of the emotional turmoil in her heart, she stood on the position of the weak for the first time, and then gave birth to a strong unwilling emotion.
"Oh?" Susan immediately felt that the perception ability of a super life was incomparable, let alone a super life with full strength.
Susan had calmed down a lot by this time, recovering from the explosion of her previous mentality.
She stared at the phoenix, which was biting her lip and trembling all over, for a moment, and then suddenly smiled, as if she had found a naughty child with a new toy.
With a move of his hand, the invisible giant force was launched, and the phoenix's whole body instantly stiffened and couldn't move, and then he was directly caught by Susan.
Caesar's face turned ugly.
I saw Susan put on that triumphant smile again, and said: "Okay, if you don't fuse, you won't fuse, no matter what, there is no more opponent for me in this world, and the inheritance of Manus is always in my hands." โ
After a pause, she patted the phoenix on the shoulder and said to Caesar, "And I think there seems to be some alternative pleasure waiting to be discovered?"
Caesar said coldly, "What are you going to do?"
Susan didn't answer and asked, "You like this woman?"
Caesar was silent for a moment, then laughed and said, "I like a fart! A stupid woman who pretends to be self-righteous, I shouldn't have been her student in the first place, and she didn't teach me anything, everything I have today is a gift from Master Manus, and my own efforts." โ
Susan frowned and said, "Are you deliberately distancing yourself from this woman, thinking that I won't torture her so that way?"
Caesar said lightly, "Whatever you want." Are you going to torture her? Feel free, I don't care. โ
Susan was furious and was about to force Caesar to reveal his true form, when the phoenix in front of her suddenly spoke, saying, "Caesar is my best student, and not only my student. He liked me very much, I liked him, and we would have been lovers after winning this war. โ
Susan was stunned, she didn't expect Phoenix to take the initiative to say this herself.
Turning his head to look at Caesar, he saw that Caesar's face was so pale that there was no blood, which made Susan happy and laughed: "Pretend, you continue to pretend, this woman herself admits it, you like her, she likes you!"
Caesar stared at the phoenix and asked hoarsely, "Why?"
Phoenix smiled slightly, "Why, don't you like me? I don't know which little ghost came to my room last night and told me that he liked me." โ
Caesar became annoyed and cried out, "That's not what I'm asking, I'm asking, why do you say you like me too?"
Phoenix was stunned and said, "Why, didn't I tell you last night, I accepted your confession." I drank bitter tea for you, and told you the secret of my life that I had never confided in outsiders. โ
Caesar was also stunned at this time, and stammered, "What ...... So...... Phoenix you ...... You promise me...... Confession?"
Phoenix said angrily: "Nonsense, I agreed last night, and I said it again just now." I'm not used to saying anything like 'I like you', so I've said for you, you little ghost, are you satisfied?"
Caesar looked at the phoenix in a daze until he confirmed that the other party was not joking, but real.
Happiness came so suddenly that Caesar suddenly grinned, smirked, and soon turned into a hearty laugh!
Nuno rolled his eyes and muttered, "Hell, people are more popular than dead people, I didn't see you so happy when I slept with you...... It's a big fire!"
Then Caesar asked again in a loud voice: "Phoenix, I like you, what about you?"
The phoenix blushed and smiled, "I like you too, Caesar." โ
It was clearly a tragic and desperate battlefield, but the two of them suddenly didn't realize it, and they both had the purest and most happy smiles on their faces.
Between the two of them, Susan waved her hand and said, "Hey, can you see me? Have you forgotten your situation? Hell, I'm going to be by you humans today!
Phoenix smiled and said, "I haven't forgotten you, it's just that I have something very important to say to Caesar, don't you also want him to admit his relationship with me, and you will be more pleasant when you torture me later?"
Susan yelled, "That's true, but...... But it has to be at my pace, not to make you talk to yourselfโ"
Phoenix ignored her and continued to Caesar, "I actually knew for a long time that you liked me, and I felt it that night at the blacksmith when you gave me earrings. But at that time, I had just accepted General Lan's marriage proposal, and you were just my student in my heart, so I didn't think much about it, and only regarded your feelings as a little boy's hormonal impulse. โ
"Later, at the end of the Second Civil War, I finally heard from Ani that you were gray armor, and I was actually confused at that time. I'm not afraid of your jokes, in fact, deep down, I've always been a little obsessed with gray armor. โ
"Later, I was very entangled for a while, and I couldn't properly integrate the two identities of gray armor and Caesar, hmph, probably because I thought that such a handsome gray armor was actually you stupid little ghost, I thought it was funny. โ
"But this problem was quickly solved, and unconsciously, when I saw that you showed great strength in your true form, I realized that you are no longer the student in my heart who needs my protection and teaching, but a real man who is in charge of himself. โ
"Later, I saw the true face of General Lan again, and I already liked you a little bit in my heart at that time, that was actually the first time I liked people, and I understood what it was like to be 'liked'. โ
"But deep down, I still have scruples. โ
"You also said it when you confessed last night, saying that you think I value a man's sense of responsibility, and you happen to have no sense of responsibility for the world, I admit, this is my concern. You really understand me and understand my character and ideas. โ
"But there's one thing you underestimate me, Caesar. โ
"I'm not a person who is blindly for the empire, and I can see the world in my eyes. I hate the army of the battlemages who killed my parents, but I don't hate the civilians of the battlemages at all. โ
"You don't know yet, when I was lurking in the northern country as a battle mage, for the convenience of my identity, I actually recognized an old couple in the northern country as my parents. That's a very nice old couple, I'm grateful to them, they made me see the beauty of the battle mage and humanity, not the cruel and ruthless war machine I remember!"
"Later, they fell ill and died of old age, and I handled the funeral for them as a child, all from the heart. โ
"Caesar, you may wonder why I promised you my confession last night, and I tell you now, if it is your gray armor, your solitary side, your true manly side that makes me happy, then it is the moment I hear that you have brought back a large number of battle mage civilians that make me make up my mind to eliminate the last bit of hesitation in my heart. โ
"Yes, at that moment I was sure, I like you. โ
Phoenix said flatly, not deliberately lowering the volume so that everyone on the battlefield could hear it.
Perhaps because she spoke so calmly, there was an inviolability in the calm, and even Susan did not interrupt her, but stood by and listened together.
At this, the phoenix was still smiling, but Caesar was crying.
He burst into tears, gritted his teeth and said, "Thank you, thank you Phoenix, but ...... Don't say any more, I ...... I'm really happy, and you like me, but I can't save you and save the world. โ
A gentle light shone in Phoenix's eyes, just like when the two of them first met at Aoki Academy, and said in a gentle tone, "Then let me finish the last paragraph, I'm sure I liked you last night." But I just found out a little that I ...... I want to say that I don't just like you now, I think I should be in love with you. โ
"Just now, I put myself in the position of a weak person that I have never experienced before, and then I realized how difficult it has been for you all these years. โ
"It's just a short period of time, and I'm already a little unbearable when I stand the position of the weak. You've been like this since you were a child, but you've never given up in the face of adversity!"
"In this regard, I am not as good as you, I really admire you like this. โ
"So...... Who knows, this is probably fate and fate, even I don't know, the most attractive to me is this spirit, maybe when I first saw you, in a corner of my heart that I didn't know, I already fell in love with you, the one who waved his fists, yelled and beat his classmates, beat the teacher, and beat the law enforcement team members on a rampage. โ
Speaking of this, Phoenix smiled with memories on her face, as if she thought of her and Caesar's encounter at Aoki Academy.
From that moment Caesar fell in love with the phoenix.
The phoenix may have fallen in love with Caesar at that moment, without knowing it.
Speaking of this, the phoenix closed its eyes, and when it opened them again, its expression returned to clarity and calm.
She stared at Caesar and said word by word: "Don't give up, don't just do your best, don't just fight to the end, Caesar, I want you to win! I fall in love with you, not only because of your perseverance, but also because of your perseverance in the end, you always win!"
"As for my ......" she smiled slightly, revealing a proud expression, "The phoenix is not weaker than others in her life, let alone a burden, Susan, you want to torture Caesar by torturing me, and you may also want to coerce me to force Caesar to hand over the 'Manus inheritance', I can tell you, this is impossible." โ
Susan sneered, "What, you can still fly out of the palm of my hand?"
The phoenix did not answer, but turned to Caesar and said, "Caesar, you have always been doing things for me, and now it is my turn to do something for you." Don't give up, win. I'm not going to drag you down. Avenge me. โ
Caesar's heart swelled with great unease.
I heard Susan suddenly shout in anger, "What are you doing?"
Blood gushed out of the phoenix's mouth and nose, and the breath of life quickly dimmed, after all, she was the thousand illusion phoenix who played with all enemies and applauded, even if the super life was in front of her, she didn't realize that she had committed suicide unconsciously.
