"Do you think I can leave anything behind?"
After wiping the water off her face, Iris was not so angry. She took off her hairband and hairpins, letting her hair fall down over her shoulders. She took out a mahogany comb from her handbag and combed her wet hair. She said, "The next day, the Sword Demon's things were no longer in our hands. Now they have been checked by at least five institutions. Even if I wasn't there, someone else would have snatched them. The last time the Sword Demon lost contact in the Faraway Space, didn't the Administration Office almost succeed?"
"And you really haven't searched the Sword Demon's belongings?" Iris sneered, "Aren't you curious about the Sword Demon's secrets? How can you be more noble than me?"
Lois's face darkened. They actually understood that after the wanted order for Sonia was issued, all of Sonia's personal belongings would be taken away for investigation. Regardless of whether Iris was there or not, the once lively four-person dormitory would eventually only have the echoes of three people.
"I would accept it even if the administrative department came to take it away, but what right do you have, Iris?" Adele said bitterly, "You are representing your Chamber of Commerce to seek cooperation with Sonia as the spokesperson. When has Sonia not always put your work first? When has she not always tried her best to do her best? Others can be greedy, but you are not qualified!"
"Didn't my family pay her? She's not a free prostitute!" Iris snorted coldly, "On the contrary, she's a very expensive one."
"you--"
Adele was so angry that her belly was about to burn through, and she summoned another water ball to throw at him. However, at this time, the shield axe master took off the hexagram shield and hit the water ball, and the water ball actually accelerated and reflected back to hit Adele!
Pop.
Adele immediately covered her face and dodged, but she didn't feel the water ball hit her. She put her hand down and saw a thermos bag blocking her, just blocking the trajectory of the water ball.
"Well done, I'll treat you to a meal when I have time!" Adele immediately hid behind Xiu, "Ingrid, quickly defeat that big trumpet, and then we will throw Iris, the little trumpet, into the East Lake!"
"Iris, if you weren't afraid of us, you wouldn't have returned to school until now." Lois said calmly, "You know how much concessions Sonia made to your Chamber of Commerce and how much extra support she provided for you because of your classmates. All this is because you said you wanted to win your parents' approval and want to inherit the Chamber of Commerce. You don't want to be a tool for marriage."
Iris's lips trembled, her head leaned forward slightly, and she exhaled a breath of white air: "Did I ask her to help me?"
"I just don't understand," Lois said. "You came over and helped her get into her suit before... I thought you wanted to be friends with her."
"Unlike the three of you, I'm the daughter of an earl, and there have always been only people who want to be my friend." Iris took back the mahogany comb, "But, I did think about being friends with her... when she was still a one-winged magician."
"Although she is just a country girl from another place, she is a beautiful and promising female magician and is indeed worth making friends with."
"But she ran too fast. Really... too fast."
"I used to feel superior to her, but when I spoke to her on behalf of the Chamber of Commerce, do you know how I felt?"
Iris tied a small ponytail with the hair in front of her, and a large ponytail with the hair in the back, and then passed the large ponytail through the hole of the small ponytail, so that the ponytail in the back would naturally stick up high, and the hairline on her forehead would not be straightened: "She had the same high ponytail hairstyle as me that day, but she was much more beautiful, more confident, and much stronger than me..."
“I actually felt inferior.”
"Family background, looks, hard work, nothing can compare to her." Iris suddenly smiled and said, "You also understand this feeling, right?"
Lois didn't say anything. Adele gathered her water ball and seemed to want to launch another sneak attack. Ingrid stared at the shield axe mage in silence. A crowd began to gather near the school road. I wonder if anyone has notified the professor.
"Jealous?" Lois asked.
"How dare I? She was already a Saint Domain Mage at that time." Iris shook her head. "I feel stupid to be jealous of a Saint Domain Mage. I have to win her over on behalf of the family. Our family also wants to have another Saint Domain Mage... But when the news of the Starry Sky incident came, the family asked me to find a way to take away all items related to Sonia. I was surprised that I didn't hesitate at all."
"I really wanted to be friends with her before." Iris smiled happily, "But now I am also really happy about her betrayal."
"You deliberately took our things and mixed them with Sonia's belongings so that your family could keep some insignificant scraps." Ingrid suddenly asked, "Are the gifts Sonia gave us still in your hands?"
Iris glanced at her, smiled contemptuously, and nodded: "Yes, those unimportant things are indeed kept by me."
"Come back!" Ingulit's sonorous and powerful voice broke through the wind and snow.
"I actually hate you three." Iris said slowly, "I came back this time just to take a few things, but I didn't expect to run into you three, and the guards my father sent to me were also here."
"Since you provoked me first, it is reasonable for us to fight back." Iris spread her hands: "But I can forgive you. After all, you are friends of the prostitute, so it is natural for you to be rude-"
"Ingrid!"
"Yinggu!"
Lois and Adele shouted at the same time, but the former was shouting to stop and the latter was encouraging. Ingrid took off her bulky down jacket, revealing the tank top underneath and the spring sword tied to her arm.
She swung her hand casually, and the spring sword extended to its normal length, gathering sword light!
The shield axe master did not look down on his opponent at all just because she was a female college student. The moment the sword fell, his shield was entangled with countless fine threads on the ground, as if it was bound to the earth!
clang!
Ingrid's attack caused the shield to emit red light fluctuations, and the swordsmanship girl was knocked away at the slightest touch. The shield axe master inserted the dagger into the gap of the hexagram shield, and the red light fluctuations of the shield quickly converged. When he pulled out the hilt of the sword, the dagger had turned into a long sword wrapped in red lightning!
"Oh no." Lois' face turned pale.
"What's wrong?" Adele asked, and Xiu turned around to look.
"The blocking move just now was the most famous miracle of the Shield Axe Mage, 'Energy Defense', which can absorb most of the damage and convert it into its own energy. This is a miracle that only a two-winged mage can learn. In addition, he is a guard of a noble... He is not only a two-winged mage, but also a senior abyss warrior!"
Yes.
Being in the middle of the battle, Ingridt already felt the enormous pressure brought by the shield axe magician. His movements were simple and swift, and his use of magic spirits was stable and efficient, with almost no unnecessary flaws or waste... This was a combat quality that could only be developed by fighting in the most dangerous environment of the abyss!
Ingrid had followed Leonie's team down into the abyss last month. Everyone in the team, whether they were physical practitioners or academicians, were proficient in the art of squeezing their strength to the limit in order to survive.
Although she had experienced many dangerous battles in the virtual world before, they were completely incomparable to the abyss - because there was no chance to start over in reality.
Only in such a high-pressure environment can a magician eliminate unnecessary flaws to the greatest extent, refine combat moves to be extremely concise, and simplify the use of magic spirits to be extremely efficient, because if you fail to do so, the result may very likely be that you will be buried in the abyss!
After coming out of the abyss and seeing the starry sky again, Ingrid felt like she was reborn.
So she understood that this was just a testing phase. Once the shield axe master figured out her movements, the next step would be...
A deadly combo of raging wind and waves!
Sizzle!
The red lightning on the shield axe wizard's blade danced like a mad snake. He changed his defensive stance, put the shield in his left hand, and swung at Ingulite with both hands. Each blow was like a thunder that split the dark clouds and shook the mountains and forests!
Only then did he truly unleash the power of a two-winged magician, and his golden magic power burned violently. Although Ingulite's silver virtual wings were about to condense, she was only a silver magician after all, and there was no way she could fight a two-winged magician head-on. She was beaten back repeatedly, and her sword wailed!
"You're asking for trouble." Iris sneered, "Getting angry over that kind of person, you're as stupid as that prostitute who gave herself to the leader of a cult. But Adele, your idea is good. We should throw you into the East Lake to calm down."
Lois and Adele were no longer in the mood to argue with Iris. They watched Ingrid fight and were extremely anxious. Adele threw a water ball directly at him, but the shield axe mage didn't even bother to pay attention to him and couldn't hit him at all; and Lois was a healer and had no fighting power at all.
They could only watch Ingrid struggle and they couldn't help at all! Even Adele regretted not studying hard.
If Sonia were still here...
Lois shook her head violently and yelled, "Ingrid, stop hitting me!"
"no!"
Ingridt was hit hard by the shield strike of the shield axe mage, and her steel-soled boots scratched a half-meter long mark on the ground. She coughed up a mouthful of steaming blood, but her hands were still tightly grasping the hilt of the sword, her eyes fixed on the enemy.
"I will make her pay the price!"
clang!
When the spring sword and the red thunder sword touched, Ingulite suddenly felt numb and almost fell down. The red thunder kept wandering around her body, paralyzing her nerves. Every time they fought, the red thunder accumulated in her body. Now it exceeded the critical value, causing her to be paralyzed to a state that even the "Founder Sword Body" could not resist!
Although Ingrid could still hold the sword, she could no longer move!
However, the shield axe master inserted the sword into the shield again, and the hexagram medium shield began to spin violently at the tip of the sword. The red lightning continued to circle and accelerate, like a crazy chainsaw!
When he raised the shield axe high, the shield also rotated to the highest speed. A thunderbolt came down from the sky and wrapped around the edge of the shield axe. The millstone of thunder was about to crush all flesh and blood!
The students watching screamed, Adele was so scared that she sat on the ground, and Lois lost her mind and rushed over: "Ingrid——"
But the next second her arm was grabbed, and when she turned around she found that it was the black-haired young man she had just met. At this time, Ingrid had already constructed the spell.
A warm yellow barrier rose from the ground, firmly protecting Ingulit!
Miracle Sword Barrier!
Xiu looked at this bright miracle of defense, and the corners of his mouth curled up slightly.
Lois breathed a sigh of relief, but immediately became nervous again - Ingrid was a one-wing magician, and this move was only a one-wing defense miracle, how could it possibly block the Thunder Super Shield Axe Release of the two-wing shield axe magician! ?
Ingridt thought so too, so she kept healing herself and immediately avoided the attack once the sword barrier was broken.
boom!
"Why?"
"Um?"
Contrary to everyone's expectations, the Thunder Shield Axe did not break through the sword's barrier. Instead, the Shield Axe Master was hit hard on the torso by the invisible sword energy that rebounded from the sword's body. The burning blood fell on the cold ground and emitted bursts of mist.
"Yinggu is so awesome!" Adele jumped up from the ground in an instant: "Hurry up and blow up this big speaker!"
Ingulit was also surprised. She remembered that the sword body barrier was not that strong. How come... But now was not the time to think about such details. She reorganized herself, stomped her feet hard, and the sharp sword light danced again!
The shield axe magician stopped the bleeding almost instantly and continued to fight without fear. Although he didn't know how the one-winged magician hurt him, as long as he was careful of that move, he would be fine. He could kill the one-winged swordsman with ordinary attacks!
However, as time went by, Ingrid remained unscathed, but the shield axe master was chopped with countless wounds, and his black clothes were almost dyed dark red!
How is that possible?
Was she hiding her strength just now?
What kind of magic effect is this? Why can't I defeat it?
Not only the shield axe mage was in panic, Ingrid couldn't understand what was happening to her either. She could only feel the cold wind supporting her body, the light reflecting her sword, her body was so light that it seemed to be flying, every strike of her sword hit the enemy's vital points just right, and she could dodge the enemy's attack every second, it was just like...
The world is helping itself to fight.
She seemed to have heard of similar things before, such as water magicians in an ocean environment, fire magicians in a fire environment. In the right environment, the magicians would be invincible as if they were assisted by God. But how could a swordsman have such an environment to cast spells? It couldn't be that the weather was so cold that the wind was as sharp as a knife, right?
Thinking of this, Ingulit swung her sword casually. The tip of the sword swept across the surface of the hexagram shield and actually cut a deep crack. The cold wind was like a sea of swords and a forest of knives, scraping through the crack, making a piercing sound that stunned both of them.
Ingrid suddenly recalled the casual chat she had with Sonia.
"Legendary swordsmen can create a swordplay environment. For example, a random sword strike can create a sword energy hundreds of meters away, or have an armor-piercing effect of the level of annihilation..."
…
"Haha, Iris, who will be thrown into East Lake to calm down their brains later?"
The situation on the field was already very clear. Although she didn't know why Ingrid was able to suppress the two-wing magician, this didn't stop Adele from getting angry: "Do you think you'll be fine if you bring guards with you? I really can't do anything to you outside of school, but when you return to school, who do you think will respect you?"
"Yes, you are the daughter of an earl, rich and powerful. No one dares to say bad things about you to your face - except me - but do you dare to go to the school forum and take a look? Do you know what others say about you? Everyone knows that you have received favors from Sony, and then you are the first one to rush to plunder Sony's property!"
"From now on, everyone who knows you will be cautious, everyone who curries favor with you will be extremely careful, every flattery you hear is ridiculed, and every greeting you hear is alienated, because you are a shameless trumpeter, and you are not trustworthy!"
"Do you think that it is because Sony's presence is too bright that it reveals your ugliness? But even without her, you are still a clown. No one will respect you. No one!"
Adele took the opportunity to throw a water ball, which just passed over the battlefield and hit Iris who was in a daze. Iris sneezed with her hair wet, and a chill spread throughout her body that even her down jacket could not resist.
She saw a circle of students nearby, some were whispering, some were pointing, and some were filming. Cold water drops fell from the ends of her hair to the tip of her nose, and her body began to tremble. She hugged her arms tightly, and Adele's words echoed in her mind: "No one respects you... Everyone despises you... Everyone is laughing at you..."
Iris lowered her head and covered her ears, gasping for breath, but Adele's voice was still so clear, as harsh as the whistling of the cold wind: "...your guard is going to lose, and I will throw you into the East Lake later, so that you can think carefully about what you can't do and what you can't say!"
Iris looked up and saw that the shield axe mage was bleeding all over the floor. Her breathing became more and more rapid, and the coldness of her body seemed to remind her of what was going to happen next. Adele's voice was so harsh, and the students around were whispering. The eyes around her were like nails that made her feel painful all over...
Don't laugh at me... Don't look down on me... No!
There was a hint of viciousness in her eyes. She suddenly took out a standard pistol from her clothes and aimed at Ingulit. She loaded the gun and pulled the safety. The students around her exclaimed - a high-powered weapon like a pistol can only be used in a duel with the professor present. At other times, it is very likely to kill people directly, and there is no way to save them!
I can't lose!
Iris pulled the trigger hard, but missed.
She was stunned for a moment before she noticed a man wearing a mask appeared in front of her. He was holding a standard pistol in his hand and seemed to be examining the structure of the gun.
"you……"
Iris was speechless just after she uttered a syllable, as the barrel of a gun was thrust into her mouth. The cold barrel pressed against her throat, and the breath of death ran through her body. Iris sat limply on the ground as if her spine had been taken away.
She wanted to comfort herself that the other party didn't dare to shoot, but when she looked up, she saw only a pair of cold eyes. There was no anger, no joy, no emotion, as if strangling a life was a daily routine that was not worth mentioning to him.
Tears fell unconsciously from the corners of her eyes. Iris had never lost her composure like this before. The barrel of the gun was stabbed into her mouth. She burst into tears in public, making sobbing sounds.
The battle between Ingrid and the Shield Axe Mage had stopped. Lois said cautiously, "Xiu—"
Bang!
The sound of the gunfire frightened countless people so much that they covered their ears and squatted down. They watched the black-haired young man pull out his pistol, the silver barrel dripping with crystal-like liquid.
"Blanks." He laughed, "I knew that Jianhua students wouldn't murder their classmates."
He squatted down, put the pistol into Iris's hand, and pulled the safety. Iris stared at him blankly, as if she had gone mad.
He took out a pack of tissues, took out one and handed it to Iris: "Wipe your mouth."
Iris took it obediently and wiped the water from the corners of her mouth carefully.
"Watch your mouth, miss." He patted Iris's shoulder and left with the cooler bag. After Lois informed the professor and the healer, she also quickly left the crime scene with her roommates and caught up with the black-haired young man in front.
Iris was still sitting there stupidly until the healer came over and pulled her aside for a check. At this moment, a bullet that had collided into a ball fell from the muzzle of the gun, making a crisp sound on the ground.
The sound seemed to wake Iris up. She looked at the bullet on the ground that had been fired but for some reason had not been fired out of the barrel. She suddenly burst into tears like a child, rubbing her eyes, hiccuping, and crying heart-wrenchingly, unable to stop.
…
"You were taking too much of a risk just now!" Lois rushed over and grabbed Xiu's hand: "What if her pistol is not loaded with blanks? You'll become a murderer!"
