You want to make me the devil, right?

"I will have this appraised and let you know the price when the time comes."

Tiscia carefully tucked 'Crimson Lover' into her bosom, a faint smile gracing her lips. The recognition from Shane seemed to stir a strange flutter in her heart.

"Mm."

Shane nodded, then added, "Remember, besides selling it at a high price, it's best to sell this to royalty or nobles. The higher the buyer's status, the better."

"You have so many requests~"

Tiscia glanced at him, not knowing why Shane would specifically make this request.

But she didn't see anything wrong with it.

After all, wealthy buyers wouldn't care about price fluctuations, making it easier to sell for a good price.

He's here again!

This was his second time in the Red Dragon's Dream Realm, but he didn't know how he entered it.

Could it be… that he and Mina had to be asleep at the same time?

Just as Shane was pondering, Mina's figure appeared at that moment.

When she saw that Shane wasn't wearing any clothes, she instantly blushed!

Pointing at the Demon King Artifact, she asked, "You! Where are your clothes! ?"

"I was taking a bath."

Shane shrugged. "I accidentally fell asleep."

"? ? ?"

Mina, upon hearing this, couldn't believe that Shane had actually fallen asleep while taking a bath!

She crossed her arms, her eyes slightly flitting about, and softly complained, "You idiot, do you know now that this isn't a dream?"

"I know," Shane replied casually. "So, you summoned me here because you wanted to rekindle our romance?"

"As if!"

Mina rolled her eyes fiercely, saying insincerely, "I just thought you've been working too hard lately and wanted you to relax a bit…"

"?"

Shane didn't reply, only focusing on unlocking the Demon King Artifact. Magical runes instantly spread across its surface, emitting a dazzling light.

"You… it's not! I just…"

Mina's crimson eyes trembled violently. Just as she was about to explain, Shane had already arrived in front of her.

His fighting spirit was fierce, determined to avenge his previous defeat!

"I'm going to win this time!"

"Shane! ! ! Eep!"

It was unknown how much time had passed. The flow of time in the Red Dragon's Dream Realm seemed unreliable.

But it was enough for Shane to release his worries and feel completely relaxed!

"You idiot!"

Mina grabbed the Demon King Artifact and said angrily, "I said to relax, not like this! It's just that I recently learned a new spell that might help you relax!"

"Isn't it?"

Shane raised his head slightly, but then immediately lowered it again.

Although he had broken through his limits and reached the thirteenth level, he still hadn't managed to beat Mina, and had lost again!

However, he lost with honor!

Because the Red Dragon Power Furnace's magic value had once again returned to 1000 points, he could happily knead Demon King Crystals again!

"You're really an idiot whose brain is full of lewd thoughts!"

Mina glared at him, then casually stretched out her hands.

A gentle flame could be seen gathering in her palms.

It seemed to lightly kiss Shane's cheek, transmitting a trace of warmth.

[You are being nourished by the intermediate magic Flame Kiss, your recovery speed is moderately increased, and you feel very warm.]

"New magic?"

Shane blinked in disbelief. Mina, who had always liked violent magic, had actually learned this kind of healing magic?

It surprised him greatly.

"How does it feel?"

"It's quite comfortable."

"How comfortable?"

"It feels like I can fight again…"

Mina: "? ? ?"

When Shane woke up from the bathtub, he found that it was already late at night.

"Crap! I soaked for too long!"

Shane hurriedly got out of the bathtub. His skin had already turned red from being soaked in the water for too long!

He immediately dried his body, then collapsed onto the bed and fell into a deep sleep.

The next day.

Shane yawned and left the dormitory.

As soon as he walked out of the dormitory door, his drowsy state instantly cleared up.

Because!

He saw a group of elves walking into Holy Glory Magic Academy!

"People from the Elven Academy are here?"

Shane rubbed his sleepy eyes and looked at the distant group.

The elves were divided into two lines by gender, led by an elven elder, appearing ostentatiously on the streets of the academy.

Although the elves' appearance was generally higher than that of humans, there were no female elves in this batch that caught his eye.

It could only be said that they were not as good as Mina.

"I heard that the Elven Queen of the elves has awakened in the last few days after being asleep for decades."

Just then, Mickey appeared next to Shane like a ghost, and said, "So, those strong elves didn't come."

"?"

Shane glanced at Mickey, but didn't say anything.

"I also heard."

Mickey continued, "The higher the elves' talent for elemental magic, the stronger their strength, and the higher their appearance. I don't know if it's true or not."

"? There's such a rumor?" Shane asked incredulously.

"I also heard it from senior students," Mickey explained. "Moreover, many people go to the elves just to see the Elven Queen."

"Rumor has it that she is the most beautiful and purest woman in the world, and the only king in the Eiria continent who has ruled for more than a thousand years."

"However, she is often in a deep sleep, and basically few people have seen her true face."

"Oh?"

Shane kept what Mickey said in his heart.

"By the way, the friendly match schedule has been arranged, and you only need to play one game," Mickey suddenly handed over a roster.

"Where did you get the roster?" Shane took the roster and asked, "My sister asked me to bring it to you. She seems to have a fever, her face is red, and I don't know what's going on."

Fever?

Shane thought for a moment. It seems that 13+1 is also approaching Mina's limit!

Next time, I will definitely win!

Then, he opened the roster, which recorded the process of the friendly match between the three academies.

Each academy will send four students from each grade, a total of twelve.

And his opponent is a trainee knight from the Knight Academy named… Silou?

Isn't that the female knight I met yesterday?

In addition, Mina will also represent the second grade in this friendly match.

"You better be careful."

Mickey suddenly reminded Shane, "That Silou is very powerful in the Knight Academy. She ranks fifth in the first grade, and she is also a girl born into an orthodox knight family. Her family may teach her advanced swordsmanship or knight breathing techniques."

"Knight breathing technique? Is that the secret technique to strengthen the physical body?"

"That's right!"

Mickey's tone became serious, and he lowered his voice to remind Shane, "Each orthodox knight family will circulate their own proud breathing technique, which can strengthen their physical strength with magic factors through breathing, and the effect of the breathing technique will also be different with different elements."

"Although the knight family where Silou is located is only a middle-class family, compared with the breathing techniques of the five major knight families, there are many loopholes."

"But once she finds a chance to get close, we mages with weak bodies will basically lose!"

"Shane! You must remember!"

"The closer the distance!"

"The more miserable you lose!"

"Your body as a mage, in front of a knight!"

"As fragile as a little chick!"

"Shane! Don't get picked up and pounded by her!"
