This bright, sincere smile, like a warm sunshine on a rainy winter day, also left the future Queen of Magic Bullet and her two faithful companions speechless.

At this point, they can already be sure that this guy who comes to their team is said to be only level 16 without learning or skill, and it is definitely not simple. Not only does he possess great strength, but he is still at ease even in the face of the Storm Queen's aura.

No matter what kind of mind he has, just this bearing, this heart, is enough to make people feel admired.

"It doesn't seem bad to have such a person as a companion in a trial. Sigmund gave his advice.

"But if it's really undercover, you can't leave it alone. Lilian's eyes flickered, and her tone was a little eager to try, "Miss Fina, do you want me to try him?"

"There's no need for that. Fina shook her head, "I said at the beginning that if you can pass the assessment on the training ground, you are a member of my team. Since it is a promise that has been given, it must be kept. ”

Besides, Fina didn't think that Midi really had any malicious intentions, if that was the case, he didn't have to be so strong and conspicuous at the beginning, but should have passed the assessment of the six puppets in a low-key manner, and then waited until the critical moment to suddenly attack.

Midi was honest, Fina instinct told her.

"Midi, Asrex, from now on, you are part of my team. Looking at the black-haired boy who was wiping the beads of sweat from his forehead in front of him, Fina finally spoke, "The next thing to do is very simple, that is, to get the first place in the trial, can you keep up?"

"I'll do my best. Midi replied, breathing calmly.

Sigmund's admiration, Lilian's suspicions, and the approval from the Storm Queen brought a warmth to Midi's heart. As soon as he was reborn, he did not hesitate to expose his strength and spent all his attention to achieve this victory, which finally paid off.

Even if it's not enough to be "trusted", at least I've really entered Fina's field of vision, and if anything happens in the next trial, my suggestions will at least have a certain weight, and won't be directly ignored.

This was the first goal that Midi wanted to achieve.

It's just that this battle has once again made Midi aware of his current limit - the boy is actually far from being as easy as it seems on the surface - just the initial dodge has exhausted most of his mind, and then he has completely relied on years of skill to fight, not to mention the burden that needs to be borne by the demon slash as a human swordsman, and then the attrition battle with the eight intermediate puppets almost made him gasp.

After all, this body is still a gentleman, and perhaps the soul that lives in it is full of the ambition of being reborn, but the physical quality is far from keeping up.

The amount of force, now myself, needs more force.

Just as Midi was thinking, there was a heavy roar, and the door to the training ground was slammed open.

The sound of the uniform footsteps of the attendants sounded one after another, more heavy than the sound of the continuous rain, and struck everyone's heart. The well-trained guards lined up in two columns, leaving a straight avenue leading to the extravagant carriage pulled by eight thoroughbred horses that had just stopped.

A blonde boy slowly got out of the car, he was very tall, already similar to an adult, with short hair like golden spikes, which set off a handsome and cold face.

The moment the boy walked into the training ground, the warm air that was originally full of humidity was filled with the smell of gunpowder for some reason. Even Sigmund and Lilian, who were usually calm and composed, had their eyes solemn, but Fina, who was not afraid of heaven and earth, still showed a mocking smile full of spare space as always.

And Midi's black pupils suddenly contracted violently at this moment.

"Fenrir Seth......" he whispered.

Scenes from the past and present lives emerged from the depths of memory, making Midi's fists clench uncontrollably.

This young man, named after the legendary Ice Wolf, is the chief heir of the Seth family as the representative of the councillors, and at this point in time, he can barely be regarded as a "comrade-in-arms" on the same front as himself, after all, the Asrex family is still on the side of the councillors.

It is precisely because of Fenrir's instigation that he, who has always had no ambition, wants to get involved in the dispute between the two factions of the queen and the parliamentarians. Coupled with the pressure from behind the Seth family, both soft and hard, and grace and power, Midi's father had to nod his head and give in even if he felt helpless about his son's behavior.

In this way, the Asrex family, which is nothing more than an earl, has become a pawn in the factional struggle that may be abandoned at any time, but Midi has no idea about it, and thinks that he has received attention.

Looking back now, how ridiculous these actions were.

If that's all there is to it, you can't blame others for being stupid. The aristocratic world was originally a cruel and ruthless world decorated with luxury, etiquette, and smiles, and it was normal to win and lose.

However, what Fenrir and his family did was much more ruthless.

After Storm Queen Fina was injured due to the trial, the Seth family not only launched various political offensives, but also put all the blame on the Midi family, and did not fulfill the original intention at all.

And when the Delos Empire launched an invasion, the Seth family, who had always been righteous and strict and called themselves the "spokesmen of the nation", immediately turned against them and surrendered the entire country. Fenrir became the vanguard of the Empire, brutally killing and suppressing a large number of people in the Duchy of Belmar.

Among them, the persecution of the family of Midi was particularly severe, both parents were executed, and the entire county was burned to the ground, leaving not a single person left.

Even after Midi was in exile for several years, finally established the "Falcon Regiment" and restarted his life on the Arad continent as an adventurer, Fenrir, who had already awakened for the second time, still ruthlessly suppressed himself in various large-scale strategic operations, and even stabbed himself in the back.

It must be said that the deaths of Fina and Alice are more or less related to Fenrir's interference.

Is it because the two of them are both ghost swordsmen, but they have obtained stronger ghosts and gods by chance?

Or is it that Belmar's most striking kaolin flower, the unattainable Queen of Magic Bullets, finally chooses herself?

Midi didn't know why Fenrir hated himself so much, or if he was jealous of himself, but there was no doubt that the deep hatred between the two would never be resolved. He has no doubt that in this life, as long as the young man in front of him has the opportunity, he will still not hesitate to abandon himself as cannon fodder, and he will still ruthlessly crush himself to ashes.

In fact, haven't you been used as cannon fodder?

A cold, self-deprecating smile appeared at the corners of Midi's mouth.

In the memory of the previous life, he and Fenrir had very little intersection in the academy days, and in order to avoid suspicion, the other party simply adopted an attitude of ignoring Fina's team combination.

But this time it was different, there were many eyes and ears on the training ground, and the news of Midi's "Flame Challenge" must have reached the ears of the other party. The reason why Fenrir came in a hurry must be because the original cannon fodder has become a powerful combat force, so he has to appear in person, on the one hand, trying to shake Fina, and on the other hand, to win himself over.

However, how could Midi, who had known the other party's ruthlessness for a long time, be hit again?

"It's just in time, why don't you take this opportunity to completely dissociate yourself from the parliamentarian faction, and stop being a pawn!" thought Midi and strode forward.

"I heard that someone had passed the famous 'Blaze' challenge, so I stopped by to check it out. Fenrir said with a smile, with a calm expression, "I didn't expect it to be you." ”

"Thank you, Lord Fenrir, for your compliment. Midi replied calmly with standard aristocratic etiquette.

"It's worth celebrating to be able to pass the Flame Challenge, and I'll call a bunch of friends to congratulate you when you come to the Elven Court Hotel tonight. Fenrir said, thought about it and added deliberately loudly with a wicked smile, "And the girl you said you wanted last time, I will also bring it with me, anyway, I'm tired of playing, I'll give it to you." ”

It's more of a command than an invitation. As for the purpose, it's not really to celebrate Midi, but just to remind and deter Fina, this strong man in your team is my man. Of course, Midi could also expect that at the banquet, Fenrir would try his best to find out what he was doing.

It's just a few simple words, and it has achieved the effect of sowing discord and co-opting and appeasement, this Fenrir is really not simple.

But this kind of aristocratic game is meaningless to the reborn Midi, and when he thinks of the misery of the previous life, he has no thoughts of vanity and wrongdoing, but directly shakes his head: "I don't have time to attend your banquet, Your Excellency Fenrir, and besides, I don't have that interest." ”

Fenrir blinked, a hypocritical aristocratic smile on his face, and for a moment thought he had misheard.

As the chief heir of the Seth family, whether it is in the territory or in the academy, no matter where he goes, he is not the object of other people's stammering? Not to mention among his peers, even if he is a real nobleman, there are definitely not a few who bow their heads in front of him.

If it's the Queen of the Storm, forget it, what is this Midi in front of you? The son of the earl, the territory is not far from the dukedom of the Seth family, and there is no choice at all, so he can only become a vassal of the great nobles and the vanguard of the councilors.

But this kid dared to be so rude to himself, and Fenrir's handsome face was a little distorted.

"You're crazy. Fenrir pursed his lips slightly, reverted to his condescending attitude just now, and sneered, "In front of the Seth family, you are just a small nobleman!

"If you want war, then I'll give you a war. Midi replied lightly, looking at Fenrir's gaze, calm and sharp, without the slightest mood swing.

It's not that he's been blinded by hatred, or it's impulsive, it's the result of calculations.

Whether from an individual point of view or from a family point of view, the Seth family and his own family have irreconcilable contradictions, and sooner or later they will have to break up. If you continue to delay and maintain your submission to the Seth family, the result will not be to gain any protection or benefits, but on the contrary, you will only pay more and more costs.

After all, the other party has never had any sincerity, and they just want to squeeze the role of cannon fodder in their eyes.

In this case, it is better to come up directly and completely break it, so that the invisible shackles are all shattered.

Although the family's county is indeed not far from the dukedom of the Seth family, it is not directly connected, and even if the other party really uses troops, it will take a lot of twists and turns. And now it happened to be the time of the academy trial, and the forces of the entire principality were extremely sensitive, even the Seth family did not dare to act rashly, which won time.

As long as you survive this time, soon, with the arrival of the Great Fire of the Gran Forest, the value of the county where the Midi family is located will continue to be revealed.

In this case, it is better to break with it as soon as possible and smash all the restraints and shackles that bind to your own family!
