Chapter 422: Being Reserved Only Makes You Lose More
A delegation from the Ankara Kingdom’s academy slowly entered the city.
They then arrived at the Magic Academy.
Luo Sheng and Hunter stood at the entrance of the academy to welcome them, accompanied by a large number of teachers.
This included Ollie, the instructor who had previously argued with him.
Luo Sheng stood indifferently to the side, with a deadpan expression, watching their carriages enter the Magic Academy one by one.
The Ankara Kingdom delegation not only sent a team of instructors but also brought many students.
They were all the most outstanding students from the kingdom’s academy.
Of course, Luo Sheng’s group also had quite a few student representatives standing at the entrance.
Acoley was one of them.
Suddenly, an instructor alighted from a carriage.
He then said to Mr. Hunter, “Hello, it’s a pleasure to meet you, Head Instructor of the Feilan Gontel Royal Magic Academy.”
Hunter nodded, “It’s nice to meet you too. You must be the newly appointed Head Instructor Prai, right?”
“Yes,” Head Instructor Prai nodded with a smile.
The two exchanged more pleasantries.
Luo Sheng stood to the side, listening quietly without any intention of interrupting, as these diplomatic courtesies were not part of his responsibilities.
But just then,
Head Instructor Prai suddenly turned to him and said with a smile, “You must be Instructor Luo Sheng.”
“That’s right, hello, Mr. Prai,” Luo Sheng replied calmly.
At this moment, Head Instructor Prai extended his hand, “Your reputation precedes you. We’ve heard quite a bit about your achievements on our way here. It’s a pleasure to meet you.”
Luo Sheng also smiled and shook his hand, “Likewise.”
In the instant their hands touched,
Luo Sheng immediately sensed the other’s strength.
Head Instructor Prai’s power was only at the full-star gold level, which was considered formidable, but in Luo Sheng’s view, he was still slightly weaker than himself.
So Luo Sheng didn’t pay much attention to it.
At this point, Head Instructor Prai looked at Mr. Hunter, “May I see your giant dragon?”
Mr. Hunter shook his head, “I’m sorry, that dragon is far too large. This Magic Academy couldn’t contain it.”
“That’s a pity. Well, it’s been a pleasure meeting you all,” Head Instructor Prai said.
After more small talk,
Mr. Hunter arranged luxurious accommodations for them at a noble hotel near the academy, which was considered very high-level treatment.
In the evening, everyone dined together.
The whole academy was bustling with excitement.
Not only were they welcoming the academic delegation from the Ankara Kingdom, but they were also trying to gather information about them, as there would be a competition not long after.
Luo Sheng and Acoley were quietly dining by themselves outside.
They didn’t join the instructors’ group.
Because Instructor Ollie was also there, constantly flattering and trying to build good relationships with Head Instructor Prai and his group.
Luo Sheng couldn’t bring himself to do such things, so he didn’t get involved.
He dined with Acoley on the side.
While glancing over the levels of all the students in the hall, he noticed that the most powerful students from the Ankara Kingdom were only at the 7-star silver level.
This was considered the strongest in their view.
But if Acoley were to take action, they probably wouldn’t last a single round.
The levels of their instructor team weren’t as impressive as imagined either, with most around the 5-star gold level.
If Acoley put in a bit more effort, defeating them wouldn’t be impossible.
Mary Fate said beside them, “It seems their strength isn’t that great.”
She was being quite presumptuous.
However, Mary Fate had reason to be confident because, in Luo Sheng’s view, she already possessed 1-star gold level strength.
So facing these silver-level student groups would be no challenge at all.
Just then,
A gaze fell upon him.
Luo Sheng felt uncomfortable under that gaze, so he turned to look.
He saw a female magic instructor constantly staring at him.
Luo Sheng was puzzled, he didn’t think he had offended her, and moreover, he didn’t even know her, so why was she staring at him?
Before he could ask,
The female magic instructor, realizing Luo Sheng had noticed her gaze, didn’t try to hide it and walked straight over.
With light steps, this female magic instructor had a curvaceous figure, long snow-white legs, and exquisite, beautiful collarbones.
She immediately attracted the attention of many male students and instructors from the Magic Academy.
This female instructor wasn’t from the academy but was an instructor representative from the Ankara Kingdom.
She came to Luo Sheng’s table, sat down with a smile, and said, “You don’t mind if I sit, do you?”
Luo Sheng wanted to say he did mind.
Unfortunately, she didn’t give him a chance to refuse and simply sat down.
Mary Fate and Acoley immediately became alert, carefully examining her.
For a moment, the atmosphere became a bit awkward.
Luo Sheng spoke first, asking, “Excuse me, is there something you need from me?”
“I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to be so abrupt, it’s just that I didn’t have a suitable opportunity before, and I hadn’t seen you in person. Now that I’ve run into you, I came over,” the female magic instructor suddenly extended her hand.
She continued, “My name is Evina, a royal instructor from the Ankara Kingdom.”
Luo Sheng shook her hand symbolically and briefly introduced himself, “Luo Sheng.”
Evina smiled and said, “I know you. You’re the instructor who can command giant dragons. Your name is already well-known in my kingdom.”
“Thank you, but I’m not really such an impressive figure. You’re exaggerating,” Luo Sheng replied calmly, even humbly deprecating himself.
Evina shook her head, “You’re more outstanding than I imagined. Moreover, under your practical courses, the students of the academy have all shown significant improvement in their abilities.”
“That’s the result of their hard work,” Luo Sheng continued to attribute the credit to others.
Mainly because he didn’t want to invite trouble.
Especially since the other party was a royal instructor.
Interacting with her could potentially mean engaging with the royal family behind her.
So, with his usual trouble-avoiding personality, Luo Sheng didn’t want to get involved with these sources of complication.
However, Evina still persisted in engaging with Luo Sheng, “You’re truly a modest gentleman. Everyone knows this is your achievement, yet you keep attributing it to others.”
“You’re thinking too highly of me.”
“But I don’t think so. I still believe you possess great strength and the ability to make them formidable. I admire you.”
As Evina spoke,
She extended her delicate fingers, the pink tips gliding back and forth along the rim of a wine glass.
Seeing this,
Acoley and Mary Fate became even more wary of her.
This woman was clearly trying to seduce Luo Sheng, and they wouldn’t allow such a thing to happen.
Mary Fate immediately retorted, “Instructor Evina, Instructor Luo Sheng is right. These are all the results of the students’ efforts.”
Acoley nodded, “Yes, although Luo Sheng played a significant role, it was only guidance. If they weren’t willing to work hard, their abilities wouldn’t have improved.”
Hearing their rebuttals,
Evina finally turned to look at them.
She had actually been aware of Acoley and Mary Fate from the beginning.
Evina asked with an enigmatic smile, “You two must be his most outstanding students, right?”
“More or less,” Mary Fate nodded, crossing her arms proudly.
However, her chest was far less impressive than Acoley.
Evina then asked, “Do you think it’s your own efforts or Instructor Luo Sheng’s excellent guidance that made the difference?”
“Of course it’s…”
Mary Fate originally wanted to say it was her own effort,
But thinking of how she had constantly slacked off before, she held back.
She began to stammer.
But Acoley smiled and said, “Of course it’s my own effort. The sweat I’ve put in is no less than anyone else. Luo Sheng can testify to that.”
“Is that so?”
Evina looked at her with an ambiguous smile.
She then continued, “But I heard it’s because Instructor Luo Sheng can summon those monsters that you have the opportunity to train. Without him, you wouldn’t even know where to start your efforts, right?”
“So what? By the way, what business do you have with Luo Sheng?” Acoley responded, equally unwilling to back down.
“I admire his talent. Besides, he is indeed very outstanding, the dream partner for many.”
“Including you?”
“Yes, such a young and powerful individual is indeed my target.”
“You’re quite bold, aren’t you? Stating it so directly.”
Evina chuckled lightly, “Being reserved only makes you lose more. It’s better to be straightforward about it.”
Evina made no attempt to hide her intentions.
Acoley felt she was facing a formidable opponent.
The two were at loggerheads.
Sparks flew.
