Chapter 26 - The beautiful woman departs for a rest

“Rigged, it’s all rigged!”

The melon-eating spectators were obviously dissatisfied with the referees’ verdict, as they only knew that Nono had stopped her attack after Lu Hong let out a strange yell, which was clearly a signal for throwing the match.

What the audience found most unbearable was that even though their shooter had thrown the match, Lu Hong still had the audacity to kick the girl; it was just too shameless!

At this moment, a group of single dogs with justice plastered on their faces were about to collectively rebel.

“Silence!

Silence!” The principal, compelled by the situation, stood up and said, “Everyone, listen to me, there was no foul play in the battle just now.

The reason Nono didn’t use her Fireball Technique was because of a skill similar to a war cry used by student Konstantin, which interrupted Nono’s spellcasting.”

“Bravo!

The principal is indeed learned!

Applaud!

Applaud!” The bootlicker diligently fulfilled his mission.

Only after the principal’s clarification did the ignorant students’ anger barely subside.

“That concludes this morning’s competition.

We will have more exciting matches this afternoon.

I urge all students to leave in an orderly fashion.

Let’s not have any stampedes, and keep an eye on your belongings, hey!

I’m talking to you, you thief!

We caught you last time, and you dare to steal again?!”

Thus, the morning’s matches came to an end, where the warrior won two bouts in just one morning.

Moreover, the victories were against the two professions that were most likely to win the championship each year, which was an unexpected outcome for everyone.

“Konstantin, you’re so amazing!

I really didn’t think you’d even beat Nono,” Nono chattered non-stop, excitedly clinging to Lu Hong’s arm on their way back.

As for the group of little fan girls who were following them before, Nono had already scared them away, and even Fidel wanted to join in on the fun but was kicked away by Nono as well.

“It was basic stuff.

You should believe now just how powerful the warrior class is, right?” Lu Hong’s first appearance was a complete success, proving the strength of the warrior.

Although it felt a bit like bullying kids, indeed, the cross-class skills were just too overpowered, especially intimidation.

Luckily, Nono only knew the Fireball Technique.

If she had studied a bit deeper into teleportation spells, they might have had to battle it out for a while longer on the stage.

“Speaking of which, how is it that your bestie can throw skills around without any incantation?” Lu Hong recalled the previous Fireball rain and curiously asked.

“Oh, her.

Ever since she transitioned to a Mage, she’s only enjoyed using the Fireball Technique, so she just kept practicing and practicing.

One day, she told me that the Mage Heavenly God came to her in a dream, saying he would bless her again.

The story sounded quite fantastical.

Anyway, after that, she could release the Fireball Technique directly without chanting.”

After listening to Nono’s explanation, Lu Hong was speechless.

It seemed one shouldn’t underestimate this world; they even had Mages who didn’t need to chant to cast spells.

Who knew what other demons, ghosts, and monsters might exist?

He had to be extremely cautious from now on.

“Konstantin…,” Nono blushed and suddenly became hesitant to speak.

“What’s wrong?” Lu Hong suddenly had a bad feeling; could it be that this little girl was having her ‘aunt’ visit?

It took a long while before Nono mustered the courage to speak, “After this big free-for-all ends, you should come home with me for a visit!”

“Are you sick?!” Lu Hong blurted out without filtering his words.

“Say that again?!” Nono’s face darkened as she glared at Lu Hong.

“No, no, not that.

I mean, why do you want me to go to your place?” Lu Hong failed to understand Nono’s reasoning.

“Of course, to meet my parents.

My mother and sisters will return to Jinrui City in three days, and then you can meet my whole family.”

After hearing Nono’s words, Lu Hong was still puzzled, “Even if I do meet them, what’s the point?”

“You!” Nono became anxious, “Don’t you think I’m both pretty and cute?”

“You are pretty and cute,” Lu Hong didn’t deny it.

“Then don’t you want me to be your girlfriend?!” Nono asked bravely.

“Ah?” Lu Hong was taken aback; he really hadn’t thought about it.

Ever since he got together with Danni, his goals had been very straightforward.

“I haven’t thought about it; you’re flat-chested and flat-booted…”

Before Lu Hong could finish his sentence, Nono punched him, knocking Lu Hong to the ground, followed by a round of punches and kicks.

“Nono, stop it!” On the quiet path leading to the Warrior Temple, Danni’s voice suddenly resonated from behind them.

“Auntie?” Nono was startled and quickly stepped back, then quickly pretended to be well-behaved.

“Nono, can’t you go a little easier on him?” Lu Hong complained discontentedly, but his grumbling stopped when he saw Danni’s beautiful figure, his gaze fixed on her and not wavering.

“Konstantin!

Why are you gawking at my aunt like that?!” Nono, annoyed, reminded Lu Hong, who behaved like someone smitten.

“Alright, Nono, you go back first, I have something to discuss with him.” Before Lu Hong could reply, Danni hurriedly tried to send Nono away, fearing that Lu Hong might say something that would reveal their secret relationship.

“Yes, yes, Nono, go ahead, I have some very important matters to discuss with your aunt,” Lu Hong chimed in as well.

“Hmph!” Although Nono was dying to know what the two would talk about, she had to turn away in anger due to her aunt’s authority and leave.

It wasn’t until Nono had completely walked away that Danni spoke, “Actually, I really didn’t want to come see you.”

“But I really wanted to see you.”

“I came only to tell you one thing, and you must do it.”

“As long as it’s something you’re asking for, even if it’s to pluck stars from the sky, I will do my utmost to accomplish it.”

“Shut up!” Danni exploded.

How is it that for every word she says, Lu Hong has a response, and not even on point?

“Uh, okay, then you say.” Lu Hong nodded, his eyes fixed firmly on Danni’s graceful figure.

Under Lu Hong’s unabashed gaze, Danni was so annoyed she was itching to bite him.

She really is some piece of work!

Taking a deep breath, “The Great Emperor Konstantin already knows about your Lionheart royal lineage, but considering you still have half human blood flowing in you, he has spared your life.

However, after you graduate, you must join the Imperial Army and serve the Empire.” Danni tightened her robes, desperately trying to conceal her tempting body.

Really, others look at her with respect and fear, but this pervert just doesn’t seem to want to live!

“It’s a pity.” Seeing Danni wrap herself up tightly, Lu Hong sighed disappointingly.

“Are you even listening to me!” Danni snapped angrily.

“I am, I am, I’m all ears.

It’s just about joining the Imperial Army, right?

I agree.

After all, that was my plan after graduation anyway.” Lu Hong quickly responded as he saw Danni getting angry.

“That’s good.” Danni’s face gradually calmed down; she had been slightly worried that Lu Hong wouldn’t agree.

“After your Second Transition level ten, I’ll take you out of the army, and then you’ll be free to wander as you please,” Danni said, somewhat reluctantly.

Joining the army would definitely mean fighting on battlefields, where the mortality rate for cannon fodder warriors was too high.

Besides, there was a rule across the continent that Third Transition professions were not allowed to interfere in lower-level wars, so once Lu Hong joined the army, Danni really couldn’t protect him anymore.

“Don’t worry, that day will come very soon.” Lu Hong smiled, “Just give me a chance to see the battlefield, and my leveling up will be even faster.

Our days of dual residency can be expected soon.”

Killing gave more experience, and what could be faster than leveling up on the battlefield?

But Lu Hong had planned this after killing people in the Frostleaf Forest, of course, he clearly misunderstood what Danni had just meant.

“Why don’t you go die!” Danni exploded in anger again, a thick vine broke through the ground and instantly whipped Lu Hong to the ground.

And dual residency?

Danni, her emotions finally vented, didn’t look back as she left.

She didn’t dare stay any longer, afraid she couldn’t help herself and would accidentally strangle this little pervert.

To think of dual residency with her, pah!

Scum!

“Hey!

Don’t go, I still have a question…” Sadly, this voice couldn’t bring Danni back.

“Ah!” Another unasked question, Lu Hong got up disappointedly, originally thinking Danni came to continue the warmth, but what a letdown!

Shortly after Lu Hong returned to his separate courtyard, the little old man came staggering back.

“What’s wrong with you, old man?

Did someone beat you up again?”

Looking at the bruised little old man, Lu Hong asked curiously.

“Oh, my young master, please don’t make fun, damn it, that Old Blue is really sinister!

He even used underhanded tactics.” The little old man was full of grievances, it seemed he lost a fight.

“Weren’t you supposed to watch my match today?

How did you end up fighting with someone?”

“That’s because someone was talking bad about you, master!

For those who dare to speak ill of you, I’ll knock out each one I see without mercy!” The little old man patted his chest, showing a loyal face.

“So?”

“So…” the little old man embarrassingly said, “So, master, you have to teach me a few more moves so I can maintain the honor of our school and those who dare look down on you will have nowhere to run.”

“Alright then, I don’t have matches this afternoon anyway, I’ll teach you a couple of Great War Master transition skills.

But let’s agree, after this lesson, don’t come to me for new skills.

Greed doesn’t chew well, I’m teaching you the most practical stuff, practice that thoroughly before we talk.” Lu Hong nodded.

Since he didn’t have matches that afternoon and didn’t care about other profession matches, teaching his disciple at home was a better option.

Besides, this could vent the frustration from not being able to flirt with Danni, killing two birds with one stone.

“I’ll listen to you, master, everything you say.” The little old man was thrilled, but seeing Lu Hong’s slightly malicious eyes, he felt something was not quite right.

He wouldn’t be using this as an excuse to beat me, would he?

How could that be?

Didn’t the master just win two matches this morning?

He must be in a good mood, I’m just overthinking it.

The little old man watched Lu Hong’s warm smile and finally dismissed his doubts…
