I like traveling the most

The student restaurant in the central area of ​​the atrium.

Wang Li Jiqiao Academy attaches great importance to some major facilities, such as a restaurant shared by thousands of people, which naturally needs to be very large.

The ceiling is high, and the spacious and bright open space is lined with white tables of modern design, which looks very clean.

The dishes placed on the left side of the entrance are also very rich and look very appetizing.

When you walk in here, you will have the illusion of entering a modern high-end restaurant.

There is a large space in the corner of the restaurant, and several tables around it are empty. However, other students would rather squeeze a dozen people into one table than sit at the free table next to it.

Because there are tyrannosaurs there, and three of them!

It's absolutely terrifying.

Akabane Leizhen realized that they were being frightened, and whispered: "It's strange, they don't dare to come close. This is not a combat area, is it necessary to tremble in fear? I won't take action against them."

In fact, he was also attacked last night.

The reason is that he helped Charlotte during the day, thinking that Xiaolin's companions wanted to recover interest from him as a provocation and warning.

Unexpectedly, Ye Ye knocked them to the ground alone. Only then did the stupid person realize that none of the international students were simple, and he was frightened and ran away in a hurry.

"Char, it seems that what happened yesterday has raised your intimidation level to another level."

The dragon-shaped automaton Sigmund teased his puppet user while still swallowing the chicken in his mouth.

It is a taboo doll that requires flesh to keep its body alive.

When Charlotte heard what it said, she immediately defended herself in a sweet voice: "It has nothing to do with me! Besides, you were just beaten yesterday by Sigmund, but he was the one who showed off your power."

After saying that, everyone turned their attention to Xiao Lin.

"No, no, no, I told you, those people are just trash, you can easily kill them." Xiao Lin spread his hands, pretending that he had done nothing worth showing off.

"That's not what happened..."

It's simple to say, but yesterday's battle gave people too strong senses. A person's ability to survive the siege of many automatic dolls can already explain a lot of things.

It's hard not to think that he is pretending to be a cup with his gentle and calm appearance.

Xiaolin explained: "Being able to easily destroy them is not only that they cannot have a deep connection with their puppets, but also that I can find their respective weaknesses and defeat them one by one. It is not just 1v10 once, but 1v1 ten times."

His biggest advantage is that he is a little versatile, and ordinary enemies have ways to deal with him.

Unless someone like Ye Ye is too outstanding in one aspect, Xiaolin can use explosion magic to solve even Sigmund, who can transform into a dragon.

“It’s easy to say but too difficult to implement.”

Akabane Raijin, who uses almost the same fighting method, believes that he has a strong say. He said: "The fragile puppet user fights against the automaton. If you are not careful, you will be injured. It is not an exaggeration to say that the tip of the knife is dancing."

Even he would not rush towards the automaton recklessly.

"But Akabane-kun can also use Ye Ye's ability, which is the ability to make the body stronger."

"...That's right."

"That's no problem. I used to have several colors of masks with similar abilities, so if I can do it, Akabane-kun can definitely do it."

Akabane Lei really didn't know how to refute the statement "You can do it even with me".

The most important thing is that he doesn't think he can't do it.

“The key is to look at the big picture.

Charlotte thought briefly and then interjected, saying: "Being able to dodge flexibly when being attacked by multiple people and making effective counterattacks in a very short period of time is impossible without seeing the overall situation clearly."

"really."

Akabane Leizhen nodded in agreement.

"That's because I can overlook them." Xiao Lin pointed to his forehead and said, "I can see different perspectives from a high place, and I can naturally deal with them easily by overlooking the overall situation."

"No, no, no, ordinary people can't overlook it." Akabane Raijin complained.

"but……"

"Ah, it's true! What's wrong with you, a man?!"

Charlotte interrupted unhappily and glared at Xiaolin with almond-shaped eyes: "Just accept it honestly when I give you a little compliment. You always act like a coward and show off the momentum that defeated everyone yesterday. !”

"That's it. Xiaolin, haven't you heard the saying "excessive modesty is pride"?" Akabane Raijin agreed.

The two had had enough of Kobayashi's Versailles.

But Xiao Lin was just stating the facts. A group of bastards who couldn't even control the automatic puppets. Even if they secretly carried out sneak attacks, they were just clowns delivering food.

To put it bluntly, the three puppet masters present could easily defeat them by cooperating with their partners.

Since they asked Xiao Lin to accept the praise, he readily accepted it.

"Speaking of which."

Xiaolin looked at the dragon-shaped doll with its head buried in the plate and devoured its food, and asked: "Sigmund, how is your health? Is there anything wrong?"

Upon hearing the question, it swallowed the food in its mouth and said, "No, my body has completely recovered. I really want to thank you for treating me."

"Ahaha, this is also my first time to treat an automatic doll. It's hard to judge the effect. But if you feel uncomfortable somewhere, you must tell me as soon as possible."

"clear."

Sigmund replied simply.

He looked quite shameless, ignoring the shame and embarrassment of the owner next to him.

As the owner, Charlotte had to make a statement again. Unfortunately, due to her personality, her words were full of arrogance and venom.

"I didn't expect you to be able to use repair techniques. Let me praise you a little... You are so powerful in using your body, and you can also use repair techniques. Are you really a human? Are you pretending to be a human? Automata."

"No, I'm a real human being."

Kobayashi shook his head, denying the rumor that he was actually an automaton.

"That……"

"I use magic."

"Magic?!" X2

Charlotte and Akabane Raijin's eyes widened, and they could see the shock on both sides when they looked at each other.

There is magic in this world.

But like all worlds, in addition to having magic power as a prerequisite, using magic also requires lengthy spells and huge mental power, plus the corresponding attributes to successfully use magic.

All in all quite troublesome.

But now, with the automatic doll as a link, magic can be used easily and quickly, and at the same time, the hard conditions for using magic can be reduced.

Therefore, the emergence of automatic dolls gradually replaced the cumbersome and ancient magic.

They would be surprised to hear that Xiao Lin can do magic.

"No wonder. Those colored masks must be magic."

Akabane Raijin's first reaction was that when Kobayashi and Yeye rescued the derailed train together, it should be due to magic that he was able to withstand a collision of hundreds of tons like an automaton.

"...Just think of it as magic."

Xiao Lin said ambiguously.

Don't blame him for being vague. After all, it's troublesome to explain skills and the like to them, so I left them to their imagination as to what it was.

"By the way, Akabane-kun didn't fight Charlotte yesterday because he realized that Sigmund was injured."

"...So be it."

Akabane Lei smiled gracefully.

Don't look at the people who attacked yesterday were easily dispatched by Xiaolin. That's because Sigmont withstood the first wave of fire and lured all the enemies out. In addition, in order to protect Charlotte and Xiaolin, it withstood a lot of violent attacks in vain. Attack and injury are certain.

That's why Xiao Lin took action to treat it. After all, he was doing bad things with good intentions.

"You are an unexpected gentleman."

Kobayashi looked at Akabane Raijin in surprise.

But he changed the topic and said: "Although I set the target on girls from the beginning, it just doesn't look like a gentleman."

"After all, this guy is one of the thirteen strongest, and he is also a strong man with the title of Tyrannosaurus. He is not that easy to defeat."

Akabane Leizhen defended himself.

"This guy-?!"

Charlotte stared at him fiercely, seemingly angry at what Akabane Raijin called her.

At the same time, he crossed his arms and counterattacked: "In my opinion, he is just a coward who gives up halfway. He doesn't even have the consciousness to attack the enemy's weaknesses. He is a naive and weak guy."

"Ah, yes, yes, you are right."

"That's right, that's right."

Xiao Lin and Akabane Raijin looked at each other and smiled.

As expected of her, she is indeed arrogant.

"Speaking of which..." Akabane Leizhen covered his forehead in pain and complained: "Should I say that it is indeed Wang Li Jiji Academy? The knowledge taught here is too advanced."

He worked hard enough to attend the lectures.

However, Akabane Raizhen, who knew nothing about theoretical knowledge, felt like he was listening to heavenly scriptures when attending classes at the highest institution specializing in dexterity. He knew every word, but when they were put together, he didn't understand it at all.

It's very painful to be a bad student in class.

"Isn't it because you are too stupid, second to last?"

Charlotte flicked her long hair and gave him a disgusted look.

It seems that everyone knows that Akabane Raijin was ranked second to last in the entrance exam.

"Of course, you too."

She looked at Xiao Lin again.

After all, being fourth from the bottom in the academy and causing a scene on the first day of admission is quite famous.

"……I?"

"That's right. You don't understand either. You obviously don't understand anything but you still listen with interest. You can't answer any of Professor Kimberly's questions. It's surprising that you can act like a good student like this."

What Charlotte said was outrageous, but it was also true.

Xiaolin really couldn't answer the teacher's questions in class, and it was Charlotte who wiped his butt.

but--

"You have to listen only if you can't learn!"

“How can you learn if you can’t listen!”

"If you don't learn how to listen... stop, stop, stop, don't get entangled in this matter anymore."

Hurry up and interrupt the endless spiral, otherwise it will turn into the topic of "how to beat Luke without 90 sets" again.

And Xiao Lin didn’t understand everything.

After being taught by Liu Zi and Aqua for a period of time, he was able to absorb some of the clever techniques of this world by analogy, so he listened with interest.

"Besides, you don't need theoretical knowledge to participate in the night party. Being strong is the most important thing."

What's the use of sharing, as long as people are strong.

This is a wise saying from a well-known strong man, and Xiaolin has always agreed with it.

Akabane Raijin nodded repeatedly. He was also a person with strong practical combat ability but weak in theory. Naturally, he had to choose the argument that was advantageous to him.

"Haah... I don't want to stay with idiots, that will make me stupid too."

Charlotte looked disgusted with the two of them, and even escalated to——

"Are you two idiots? You don't bring a wallet when you go out. Is it common sense that you need money to buy things? Are you country savages from where do you come from?"

She helped pay for the meal.

Even though I not only have to pay back the money but also charge interest, I am quite grateful to her.

Xiao Lin sighed: "Please be considerate of me. This is my first day in this country. It is normal that there is no currency here. And you are right, I am indeed a country savage."

Axel is a remote novice village. In terms of prosperity, it is not as prosperous as the royal capital, and in terms of the development of the times, it is not as smart as the city.

In the eyes of the other party, he is indeed a countryman.

"Besides, who knew they don't accept gold coins? Judging from the value, gold coins are obviously more valuable. How about this? I'll give the gold coins to you, Charlotte, and treat them as lunch money repaid by Akabane-kun and I. The excess Just treat it as interest.”

"...You are really a country savage."

Charlotte looked at the shining golden coins that Xiaolin put on the table and pushed over. She didn't know what to say for a moment.

Are all country people so rich?

Use gold coins as currency?

Looking helplessly at the two people eating pasta elegantly in front of them.

He immediately reacted and said proudly:

"...Wait, wait! Why are you two eating here? Go on your way! Please forgive me for sharing the table with you."

"Don't be so arrogant."

"I refuse! There is nothing to say to the pervert who rushed to hug me and said that he likes to beat others but hates others to beat him."

"So I told you not to be arrogant."

Xiaolin's fork curled up the pasta and brought it to his mouth.

Seeing him like this, Charlotte became even more angry and remained silent.

"What's wrong? Why don't you say anything?"

"I'm just dumbfounded. How can there be a boy as thick-skinned as you? You must be a fool even for your nerves, right? Also, the reason why I don't speak is because I feel bored. Since you are a boy, just stir up a little bit." How is the atmosphere?"

"...You should still be arrogant. There is already someone with the poisonous tongue attribute."

"Huh?!"

"As for the topic just now, you want me to heat up the atmosphere, right?"

Xiaolin raised an index finger.

In her confused eyes, a water column suddenly burst out from her fingertips, rose half a meter and then spread out to both sides, forming a beautiful rainbow in mid-air under the sunlight.

Charlotte was stunned, her small lips opening and closing like a goldfish. It seemed that she had never seen such acrobatics before.

"——Flowers, birds, wind and moon."

Xiao Lin smiled slightly and said with some pride: "I stole this from some stupid goddess. How about it? I haven't seen it before."

This is not a banquet skill learned with skill points, but forged by using primary skills to change the shape.

Of course, squirting water from his fingertips is his limit.

"...You, even if you leave here, you will be a starving street performer."

"Thanks for the compliment."

"I didn't praise you!...Hey, what's wrong with you?"

Charlotte found that something was wrong with Akabane Lei. He had been looking out the window blankly from just now.

It was a student wearing a silver mask, accompanied by two dolls in gorgeous dresses. There was an aura of death and decadence floating around him, which did not match their beautiful and lovely looks at all.

——Magnus.

The overall score ranks first in all previous years. He is outstanding in both technology and magic. He is the genius since the founding of this academy and the man closest to the name of the Demon King at the moment.

He is also the older brother of Akabane Raima.

——Akabane Tianquan.

"You're not targeting him again, are you? Give up, Magnus is very strong."

"Yeye."

"yes!"

Akabane Raijin and Ye Ye stood up from their seats, broke out of the window regardless of Charlotte's obstruction, and rushed straight towards each other.

"...Wait! You can't win against the other party!"

"Forget it, Charlotte. This is his family matter, so don't interfere." Xiaolin held her shoulders to prevent her from disturbing the two of them.

"Eh?"

Charlotte blinked in confusion.

He didn't want to get involved in the other party's family ethics drama, but looking at the six beautiful girls who suddenly appeared and surrounded Akabane Raijin from all directions, Kobayashi became a little angry inside.

He actually divided his sister into six equal parts and even made her into an automatic doll...

Even if you like your sister, you don't need to get married in six equal parts. What kind of hell joke is this?

In fact they did not conflict.

Akabane Leizhen handed a small bottle to the other party, saying it was a gift for him, and the other party happily accepted it.

Because of the direction of the wind, Xiao Lin could smell a slight smell, and his eyesight was far beyond ordinary people, allowing him to determine that what he handed over to the other party was ashes.

As for whose ashes it is, it is already clear.

After Magnus left, Akabane Leizhen knelt down in annoyance, because he had just discovered that the strength gap between the two sides was so huge that he simply could not match it.

Ye Ye comforted him softly.

Akabane Lei said dejectedly: "I'm sorry, Ye Ye. You are the highest-end doll worth a warship. If you can fully utilize your performance, it will improve your chances of winning a lot. I am the one who dragged you down."

"Lei Zhen..."

Ye Yeqing couldn't help but hug him.

When it was over, Xiaolin and Charlotte stepped forward.

"It's okay, Akabane-kun."

"...Xiao Lin?"

"You'll beat him, my eyes tell me so."

"...Then why are you pointing at your forehead?"

"It's not important."

Xiao Lin waved his hand and told him not to care about these details.

"Hmph, he is still far from defeating Magnus. Let's fight to the death and become stronger. At least he will be qualified to fight against him at the night party."

Charlotte also said arrogantly.

After being comforted by the two of them, and also not having a self-pitying personality, Akabane Lei really felt much better.

"You're right, I want to become stronger! I need to be qualified to participate in the night party!"

"...But before that, you have to compensate for the broken glass."

"...Eh?"

Xiao Lin's words extinguished his passion.

Looking at the remnant who just broke through the window recklessly because he could not suppress his anger, he fell to his knees in annoyance again under the surprised eyes of many students and shouted:

"No----!"

There is a price to pay for being reckless, and it seems that he has deeply understood this truth.
