Leah's fist came at her again, but this time Linda was prepared and grabbed Leah's wrist with a snap.
Seeing the tiny pearls welling up in Leah's eyes, Linda scratched the back of his head in confusion.
He couldn't help but wonder if Leah's current actions weren't a sneak attack, but rather out of concern?
No, that can't be!
The sun didn't rise in the west, did it?
Linda was taken aback.
In his mind, Leah was a selfish person who only thought about herself.
I'm just thankful they didn't take advantage of my injury to kick me when I was down.
And now, Lia is actually worried about herself?
Linda was so shocked that her mouth was agape and she couldn't close it.
He wanted to question Leah, but looking at her funny little face as she sniffed and squeezed out the little pearl, he had a feeling that she was serious.
On the arena, Abner and the others tactfully left, leaving only Linda and a few others on the arena.
Linda slowly released Leah's wrist, pondered for a moment, and carefully replied:
"This game did involve some risk, but it was absolutely worth it."
You know, I was featured in the Adventurers' Weekly once, but Snow Goose and Ice Flower were never on it.
There are only six months left until the Ice Abyss Training Camp recruits this year.
If you want to go, you absolutely can't miss this opportunity.
"Lia, the place you're going to isn't Azure Sky Adventurers' University, it's that place, right?"
Knowing Lia as Linda does, she'd definitely choose the best place to go.
If they fail to make it onto the Adventurer's Weekly's "Gathering of Heroes" section in this competition, it will be extremely difficult for Xueyan and Binghua to do so twice in the next six months.
If we're going to Azure City, the more companions the better, and Linda certainly won't leave Yan and Binghua behind.
He himself needs to win this match to earn a ticket to the training camp.
All of the above constitutes Linda's reason for not being able to lose, even if it involves certain risks.
Moreover, he only saw that the injuries were quite serious. Leah did not know the exact thickness of his life barrier, which is why she thought he had narrowly escaped death several times.
Upon hearing this explanation, Leah was stunned and said incredulously, "So, you did this for me..."
Linda meant it for himself, as well as for the two adventure teams, Ice Flower and Snow Goose.
But somehow, in Leah's ears, it became that Linda was desperately fighting off Abner in order to get her a ticket to the training camp.
Seeing how deeply moved Leah was, Linda simply didn't explain. Instead, she smiled and gently stroked Leah's head, as if petting a dog.
"Yes, that's exactly it, which is why I'm willing to get injured to achieve victory!"
Leah's eyes widened little by little: "R-really?"
"Mm." Linda nodded.
"oh oh..."
The flames of anger in Leah's heart suddenly died down, and she even felt a little smug, thinking that Linda had fought so desperately for her sake.
People around her cast strange glances. Lulu looked helpless, and Isa's eyes held a hint of sympathy... Although they didn't know what was going on, the two of them were probably envious of her.
Linda was willing to risk everything to defeat Eberna for her sake!
Compared to Linda, who has lived two lives and is psychologically mature, Leah, who has only recently come of age, is still in an age full of fantasy and passion.
The biggest difference is that after Linda prepares to defeat the Demon King, she will retire with her team and live a carefree and happy life with plenty of gold coins.
Leah's dream was to lead her small team, slaying dragons and demons, meet a white-horse knight on her adventure, and ultimately become a legend in the war to protect the continent...
My head is filled with romantic fantasies in the style of comic books.
This is the fundamental difference between Leah and Linda; Linda has long since outgrown her teenage years.
Since Linda left the team, Leah has vaguely sensed a significant difference in personality and aspirations between the two, and this difference has led to a growing rift.
But it was only after separating from the close-knit team life of the past three years, and becoming a semi-stranger, that Lia felt she truly knew Linda.
Not only is she the annoying old man who only nags her like a mother hen, but she also shows a bloodthirsty side when protecting others. From defeating the Goblin Prince to sealing off the three-headed serpent chieftain of the tenth level of the Great Mystic Realm, and fighting against the Moon-ranked Fox, whenever Lia saw Linda's tall figure blocking her way, she would sometimes have the illusion that Linda was riding a tall horse with a radiant back.
Even now, Leah can no longer see Linda as an annoying old man who only nags in her ear!
Under the teasing gazes of the crowd, Leah's face grew increasingly red, and she stammered as if she wanted to say something.
When her eyes met Linda's clear, inquiring black eyes, Leah felt a sudden, inexplicable panic. Her cheeks burned, and against her will, she crossed her arms over her chest, adopting a haughty posture, and snorted:
"Idiot! Don't think I'll forgive you just like that. Apologize, apologize!"
It refers to what happened yesterday.
Linda said, puzzled, "Why should I apologize? If anyone should apologize, it's you. I still need to use it with my Oath-Taking Team members. What right do you have to criticize me? If anyone should criticize someone, it should be my teammates. Who gave you the right to do so?"
This is Linda's super "magical machine" for creating her future children, and it cannot afford to make any mistakes.
But with one sword strike, Lia cut off several strands of "hair," and if she moved forward a little further, Linda's "magical machine" would only be about 1.3 times the size of a normal person.
The fact that he didn't tie Leah up and throw her into the dungeon for a severe beating shows that he was kind-hearted.
