Chapter 40 Freshman Tournament 4
After dinner, the two strolled side by side in Braceside College.
It was dusk at this time, the afterglow of the setting sun was at its peak, and the temperature was neither cold nor dry.
This is the most leisurely time in the college, and many students who have nothing to do will stroll around Braceside.
After all, the buildings on campus are extremely ornamental, and the design of the natural landscape is also extremely exquisite and spectacular.
One of the most important subjects for elemental mages is to feel the natural elements, so everyone is willing to get close to nature in such a quiet evening.
Lu Yi took Astor to visit the iconic buildings on campus.
Along the way, people kept greeting Lu Yi.
Astor was beside him, and Lu Yi didn't know whether to respond or not. In the end, he could only smile at everyone with a stiff face.
You know, because of his classmates' excessive enthusiasm, Lu Yi actually didn't hang around in the college for a long time.
Even when he went out, he always walked in a hurry, trying to disappear before anyone noticed him and greeted him.
But when he was hanging out with Astor, he couldn't act like he was in a hurry to do anything.
As the pace slowed down, more people noticed Lu Yi and ran over to greet him.
Astor saw his embarrassment and said considerately, "Let's find a secluded place to sit down. Didn't you say you had a lot of things you wanted to tell me?"
Lu Yi nodded, thought for a while and said, "I know a place!"
He took Aster for a long detour and finally stopped at the corner between two teaching buildings on the east side of Guangming College.
It was a hidden little garden.
Lu Yi accidentally discovered this uninhabited place when he came to Guangming College for class.
Sometimes when he wanted to think of something but didn’t want to be disturbed, he would sit in this small garden and read a book.
Lu Yi waved to Aster and took the lead to enter the narrow entrance.
Astor was a little disgusted, but in the end he patiently followed Lu Yi into the small garden.
The small garden was really small, and it seemed a bit crowded after two men of normal size sat down.
Lu Yi handed a candy to Aster, "I just got it from that store. I tried one and it's pretty delicious."
Astor shook his head and refused him, "You eat it, I don't like sweets."
What's more, in Astor's eyes, sugar is for children.
Lu Yi can eat it, but he doesn't have to eat it.
Lu Yi couldn't hear his refusal, so he peeled off the sugar coating and stuffed it into Aster's mouth.
After being fed a mouthful of candy, Aster's face turned a little dark, but he did not spit out the candy that Lu Yi fed him.
As the sweet taste spread in his mouth, his dark complexion unconsciously softened.
Lu Yi smiled proudly and stuffed a candy into his own pocket.
"Brother, how long will you stay here?" Lu Yi asked, "There are still many places I haven't taken you to visit."
"I'll leave after watching your group match tomorrow." Astor said.
"So fast?" Lu Yi frowned slightly.
Astor snorted, "Do you really think I have a lot of free time? I was just dealing with something and came to see you."
Lu Yi blinked, grasped the key point of his words and said: "So brother, you actually came to see me first, and things haven't started to be dealt with yet, right?"
Astor said nothing and agreed with Lu Yi's statement.
His acquiescence made Lu Yi feel even happier, and even his dead fish face looked more pleasing to the eye.
"Brother, you should smile more! No wonder dad always complains to me that you have a sullen face at home every day. I don't know who you are showing it to."
Astor knocked his head, glanced at him and said, "You want to control me? You've only been in the academy for a month, have you made it?"
Astor's words aroused Lu Yi's desire to show off again. He touched his head that had been hit by Astor and spoke with a smile.
"I have indeed made progress. Brother, you have no idea how good I am. I won every group match in the past few days, and I won today's group match without even fighting. The guy on the other side admitted defeat as soon as he saw me on the stage!"
Lu Yi described it vividly, "You were not there, so you don't know how powerful your brother is and how much he brought honor to the Klein family!"
From then on, when people mentioned Lu Yi Klein of the Klein family, the first thing that came to their mind was no longer his arrogance, but his extraordinary talent and strong strength.
"How do you know I wasn't there?" Astor asked.
Lu Yi was stunned and asked in surprise: "...No way? Brother, you came this morning?!"
"I was... you were there?"
"Yes, I was there." Astor said calmly.
In fact, he arrived in Katelila the night before, but he didn't want to disturb Lu Yi's rest because it was too late, so he simply delayed it until the next day to watch his group match.
But Astor did not expect that his brother was so famous that his opponent retreated without a fight. He wanted to see how well Lu Yi could use his magic power, but he didn't get to see it.
"Brother, you arrived this morning, why didn't you come to see me?!"
"You ran too fast. I saw you were in class so I didn't bother you. I just asked someone to wait at the door of your dormitory."
Astor thought that Lu Yi would definitely return to the dormitory during his lunch break, but he didn't expect that he didn't return to the dormitory all afternoon. He waited at Lu Yi's door for the whole afternoon in vain.
"Brother, you didn't wait at the door of my dormitory for a whole day, did you?" Lu Yi said in shock.
He felt a huge sense of guilt in his heart, and he didn't even realize that the corners of his eyes were slightly red.
Astor rubbed his head and said, “No, do you think I am you?”
"I just waited a while and then went to take care of some scattered chores."
He didn't lie. Astor only waited for noon and then went back to deal with things.
He came to Braceside in the afternoon when he thought Lu Yi was going to have dinner.
Lu Yi breathed a sigh of relief, "That's good, brother, why don't you send me the sound transmission stone yourself?"
"It's not necessary. It's not a big deal." Astor said expressionlessly.
He would never admit that he wanted to give Lu Yi a surprise.
"But my brother's visit to me is the most important thing, the most important thing with the highest priority!" Lu Yi said seriously.
Astor was burned by his serious gaze and turned his head to say, "Don't act like a spoiled child. You are so old..."
"Ah?" Lu Yi had a question mark on his face.
Astor stood up and said, "Let's go, it's getting late."
"So where are you staying tonight, brother? Are you going back to Klein Manor?"
Lu Yi was diverted by him and asked where he was going.
"No." Astor shook his head, "I'm going to occupy your bed and let you sleep on the sofa."
…
Day 4 of the group stage.
Lu Yi's opponent in this game was drawn for him by Astor.
When Lu Yi asked Astor to draw lots for him, Astor was reluctant at first.
After hearing Lu Yi crying pitifully and complaining that he had lost two out of three times, Astor reluctantly agreed to draw lots for him.
"What if I draw an opponent with elements that restrain him?" Astor asked Lu Yi before the draw.
Lu Yi vowed: "It doesn't matter! No matter what element the opponent is, I will definitely win. Today's victory will be dedicated to Astor Klein."
Astor chuckled, raised an eyebrow and said, "Then I'll wait."
He originally wanted to ask Lu Yi what element he was going to use so that he could secretly arrange a suitable opponent.
But Lu Yi's words dispelled his thoughts.
Astor and Lu Yi walked up to the drawing table side by side.
It is also very common to let some lucky people draw lots on behalf of others. The referee guarding the drawing table is no longer surprised to see the two people coming up.
"Here, it's right there, just pick a number at random!"
Astor reached out his hand modestly and took out a small ball the size of a fist from the barrel.
"It's number 22." Lu Yi took the ball and said.
The draw rules for the group stage are simple and crude. The balls are randomly drawn from fifty balls with twenty-five numbers on them. The two people who draw the same numbers will be the opponents in the group stage of the day.
"What element are you going to use today?" Astor asked.
"Light." Lu Yi replied.
If he wanted to present a victory to Astor, he had to present a victory with the best visual effects and the strongest impact.
There is no element more suitable than the element of light, Lu Yi thought.
Lu Yi looked up at the wooden boards in their group.
Both names in column 22 have lit up.
One is Louis Klein and the other is Rupert Jeff.
Rupert Jeff?
I have no impression, but his name that lights up is brown, so I think he is an earth magician.
"Why are their names yellow, green, blue, red and brown, but yours is white and gold? Is it because you have all the elements?" Astor asked, looking at the wooden board.
"No." Lu Yi lied seriously, "It's because I'm smarter. Only smart people can see my platinum name."
Lu Yi took Aster to the arena.
The arena was already half full, and it was quickly completely filled after Lu Yi entered.
Lu Yi pulled Aster to the backstage and said, "Brother, wait for me here. The view here is the best."
"Lu Yi!"
Lu Yi was facing Aster, and suddenly a familiar voice came from behind him.
He turned around and saw Canaan standing next to a man with medium-length hair.
"Canaan? Why are you here?"
Canaan pointed to the man next to him, "Rupert is my roommate. I saw you just now on the other side of the board."
"Lu Yi, please be careful when you attack later!"
"Hmm?" Lu Yi blinked, making sure he heard correctly, "What's the point?"
Aren't they roommates? What kind of special consideration is this?
"No, no, no, no! Don't listen to Canaan!" Rupert was horrified.
This Rupert looked like a very particular man. His clothes had many clever details. His medium-length brown hair fell to his shoulders, and his bangs in front were carefully styled into an exquisite look. He also seemed to have sprayed perfume on his body.
Rather than going to fight in the arena, Mr. Rupert looked more like he was about to enter a men's beauty pageant.
Without waiting for Lu Yi to say anything, Jianan said, "What are you afraid of? You didn't look like this when I advised you to give up the game!"
"Oh no! How can a true warrior escape from the battlefield? Even if I lose, I want to lose beautifully and brilliantly. This is my life motto, Rupert!"
"Haha." Canaan smirked, "Then you are truly an exquisite warrior!"
In his entire life, he had never seen a man spray perfume before going to the arena! Canaan really couldn't agree with some of Rupert's views.
"So you're a stinky man!" Rupert accused him.
The two were talking excitedly, and Lu Yi and Astor were also watching with great interest.
The two of them stopped bickering until the referee came backstage and urged them to go on stage.
It seems that there is still some unsatisfied feeling.
No wonder these two people can become roommates with such a harmonious relationship. It’s a relationship where both parties are willing to fight and be beaten, Lu Yi thought.
"Brother, I'm on the court." Lu Yi said.
"Go ahead, I'll wait for you here." Astor patted his shoulder.
"Wait for me to win the crown of victory for you." Lu Yi said seriously.
…
…
Pilon is a small city-state adjacent to the Orc Forest and one of only two city-states under the name of the Principality of Barlei.
It is also the hometown of Waverlyn.
After three days of trekking, the two finally arrived in Pilon before it was completely dark.
Wavelin looked exhausted, but in good spirits.
He jumped off the horse and turned to look at Lu Yi behind him. He was shocked by Lu Yi's visibly listless appearance.
"Rant, what's wrong? Are you okay? Why do you look so bad?" Wavelin asked worriedly.
Lu Yi waved his hand and said, "I'm fine. It may be because I have never traveled so fast before. I am a little tired for a while. I will be fine after a rest."
It would be strange if nothing happened.
In these short two or three days, Lu Yi was almost falling apart.
While he was playing three games and taking six college courses on his main body, Lant was also rushing on his way.
Lu Yi kept switching perspectives, which made people confused.
I get up early in the morning to play games, run to various colleges in the afternoon to get into classes, and take turns with Wavelin to keep watch at night. All in all, there is no time to rest properly during the day.
This has been going on for two or three days in a row. It would be strange if Lu Yi was okay!
"Sorry, I rushed it too much..." Wavelin said guiltily, "Normally it takes at least five or six days to get from Bryside to Pilon, but we're twice as fast..."
He was anxious, and Lant was anxious too. The two of them traveled day and night for three days, not daring to slack off at all. This shortened the journey from five or six days to three days.
"No need to apologize." Lu Yi shook his head.
"It was me who suggested coming with you in the first place, and since things were urgent, it was the right decision to hurry up. If we get here earlier, we might be able to help earlier."
Wavelin sighed and said with a sad face: "Actually, I have thought a lot during the past two days on the road. Even if I come back, what can I do? Rand..."
"Rant, I'm really afraid that what I'll see when I go back is my mother's dead body."
"I can't accept it. I really can't accept it."
Lu Yi patted his shoulder and comforted him, "Don't scare yourself. Did your father reveal anything in the letter? Wavelin, calm down! Your mother just disappeared. We are rushing back now, aren't we here to help your father find your mother?"
Wavelin nodded, and his mood seemed to be more stable.
"You're right, my mother just disappeared."
He couldn't let his imagination run wild, his mother was still waiting for him to save her!
"Hurry up and lead the way." Lu Yi tilted his head and motioned him to walk in front and lead the way.
Wavelin led the horse and walked hurriedly forward.
The two soon arrived at Wavelin's home.
Wavelin took a deep breath and pushed open the closed wooden door.
His father was lying on the ground in a daze.
Wavelin's father was a middle-aged man with brown hair and brown eyes. He looked tattered and haggard. He was lying on the ground on his side, and seemed to be holding something in his arms.
The author has something to say:
There is no time difference between Lu Yi and Lant's perspectives, but there is some time difference in Wenwen's narration, but it doesn't have much impact.
The group stage will continue in the next chapter, so wives don’t have to worry about being gone.
Xiaobing! Quickly add one more chapter for the Overlord Ticket qwq
