Chapter 36: Guilty!

Bang!

“Ouch!”

Leo covered his head, “Why did you hit me?”

“Ah! I’m sorry! I didn’t mean to, are you okay?”

Michelle hurriedly retracted her staff, startled, and started moving on her own.

My God, I actually hit someone with a holy staff, how guilty!

“It’s fine.”

This grievance Leo could only keep to himself.

“That’s good, let’s start setting up the tent.”

Michelle ignored Leo and began to set up the tent.

“You think I want to be with you? Go play by yourself.” Yuris showed a look of disdain.

Watching the two busy people, Leo stood frozen in place; he felt abandoned.

It didn’t matter, he could only take out his mobile villa.

Michelle’s tent was white, beautiful and luxurious, while Yuris’s was blue, noble and extravagant.

These two guys, one was a candidate saintess, and the other was a disciple of the Sword Saint, both were nobles; the conditions were indeed different.

In contrast, Leo looked at his mobile villa, patched together with a few rags, small and shabby, it looked like a slum.

It was hard to look at, especially when placed next to these two guys’ tents.

Leo quickly pulled back some distance.

“Hey! Whose junk is this? It’s dirtying my eyes, get rid of it!”

A cold voice came from outside the tent.

Leo walked out, “What are you looking at? This is my tent, if you can’t stand it, then don’t look.”

“How can someone live in a tent that looks like shit? Get away! I’m going to be contaminated.”

The girl showed a surprised expression and took a few steps back.

“Who are you?”

“Listen well, I am Princess Krista Wendy of the Siska Empire. That’s right, the Princess of the Blazing Flame is me. How about it? Are you mesmerized by my beauty?”

Krista tossed her beautiful hair and said proudly.

She had a head of fiery red hair, like burning flames, and her eyes were also ruby red; she was indeed a stunning beauty.

“I don’t know you! Get away!”

Leo waved his hand in disgust, signaling her to leave.

“What…”

Krista was greatly shocked, “How could anyone not know me? Are you even a man? I know, you must be trying to get my attention this way. Hmph! I’ll give you a compliment; you did catch my attention. State your name, mortal.”

“My name is Leo, okay, you can go now.”

Leo said coldly.

“It’s the first time someone dares to treat me with such indifference. Leo, I remember you, you rude man.”

“Shut up! If you keep talking, I’ll show you my manly side.”

“Per… pervert! Am I going to be assaulted?”

Krista clutched her chest, looking confused and helpless.

“What are you even here for?”

Leo rubbed his forehead; why did he always encounter such troublesome people?

“Don’t come over, stay there and don’t move!”

Krista hurriedly ran away.

“What’s wrong, Leo?”

Michelle came out.

“Nothing.”

“Why are you so far away?”

Michelle moved her tent to his left, and upon hearing the commotion, Yuris also moved his tent to his right.

Oh no! I’m being sandwiched!

Looking at the shabby cloth surrounded by two luxurious tents, Yuris’s face turned red with embarrassment.

“Go ahead and laugh if you want.” Leo said disdainfully.

“Pfft!”

Michelle trembled violently, letting out a sound from her mouth.

“Ah! I didn’t mean it, I didn’t!”

Michelle’s face turned bright red, and she shyly covered her small face with her hands.

My God, I actually laughed at someone, how guilty!

Where did this cute little animal come from?

I forgive you.

Just then, the previously fleeing Krista ran back.

“I almost forgot the most important thing because of your interruption.”

Krista pointed at Michelle, “You must be Michelle, my number one rival. Your appearance is only slightly inferior to mine. Remember, I am Princess Krista Wendy of the Siska Empire, also known as the Princess of the Blazing Flame. I declare that in this mission, I will defeat you, just wait and see!”

After saying that, Krista ran off again.

“Don’t mind her, that girl is crazy.” Leo said.

“I’ll do my best!”

Michelle pumped herself up.

You really want to compete with her?

“The Princess of the Blazing Flame, Krista, is quite a formidable character.” Yuris had heard of this person; being acknowledged by him meant she might have some skills.

“The Siska Empire’s power is on par with the Empire; their princess has amazing talent, especially in fire magic. It’s said she can burn everything. But I’ll do my best and won’t lose to her.” Michelle said.

It’s not easy to be targeted by such a person.

The tents were set up, and Renina arranged the patrols for the team, as well as the night watch order.

A group of mages set up magic circles around for defense and detection.

“Michelle, Yuris, come over here for a moment.”

Once preparations were nearly complete, Renina came to where the three were and called Michelle and Yuris away.

The team was quite mixed, needing a squad leader to direct everyone, and the talented Michelle and Yuris were naturally chosen.

“What good ideas do you two have for this mission?” Renina asked, mainly wanting to see their opinions.

“Nothing much, I’ll just kill as many monsters as come.” Yuris said.

“Let’s discuss it together later.”

Renina thought he was joking and didn’t pay much attention.

“We’re here.”

The few of them arrived at a large tent filled with people. They were all team leaders and some powerful and famous individuals.

Korrik, Caroline, Delisa, and the new student Krista were also present.

“Alright, let’s start discussing the plan for this hunt. Our mission is to eliminate the monsters under the young dragon, which will be led by the crown prince and the saintess with their elite.”

Renina sat down in the main seat, and a magical image appeared in the center, showing the mountains where the young dragon resides, then signaled everyone to share their opinions.

“In order to intercept the monsters, my suggestion is to gather people of the same profession to form a large team to hunt the monsters, with the front row blocking the monsters and the back row using magic to attack.”

“Isn’t that going to separate the team members, and without training, the effect won’t be ideal?”

“Our academy’s people are all elites, so it won’t be a problem.”

Everyone began to discuss in a cacophony.

“Ridiculous, only weaklings huddle together for warmth.”

Suddenly a voice rang out, and everyone’s chatter came to an abrupt halt.

The crowd was surprised and looked towards the voice, where Yuris stood with his sword, looking cold and proud.

“Kid, what did you say?”

Others were furious.

“Real strong people fight alone; you waste of space can only drag others down. I disdain to associate with you.” Yuris said bluntly.

Some people watched with interest, planning to see the show.

“Don’t think just because you’re a disciple of the Sword Saint, you can look down on us seniors.”

“It seems we need to teach you what respect for seniors means.”

“Weaklings don’t deserve my respect; everything should be spoken with strength.”

Yuris placed his sword on the table, his intentions clear.

“Very well! We also want to teach this arrogant junior a lesson!”

One person stood up with a sneer.

“Smack!”

Renina slammed the table hard.

“Everyone sit down!”
