Ed slowly raised his hand and gently brushed off the dust on his body caused by the fierce competition just now. He stood up straight and looked calmly at Carlisle who was showing off in front of him with a smug look on his face.
That cocky look was really annoying. Ed sighed in his heart and really had no interest in paying attention to his childish behavior.
Carlisle looked at Ed with a strong feeling of disgust.
What a look it was, firm and persistent, just like the light that often flickered in the eyes of the low-level elves he had seen in the elf tribe.
In his opinion, these low-level elves' attempt to climb to a high position by relying on their own insignificant efforts and so-called talents was simply a blatant blasphemy against the destiny of the elven bloodline.
Every time he saw such a look, he would ruthlessly destroy it to defend the "sanctity" of bloodline theory.
"What's that look in your eyes?" Carlisle frowned, took a step forward, and spoke in a voice so cold that it seemed to freeze the air. "Are you really unconvinced?"
Leonard stood aside, his lips slightly raised, secretly hoping that Ed would be angered by Carlisle's provocation and then be severely taught a lesson.
He was thinking that if Ed made a fool of himself in public, he might realize his "lowly" status and make Angelica understand that this poor boy was not worthy of her.
However, Ed's expression remained calm, and he said in a calm tone, "Your grades are better than mine, and now you are the first. I really have nothing to be dissatisfied with at the moment. 217 points, this is the limit of what I can achieve at the moment, but I know that this will definitely not be my end. There are less than 20 days left until the end of the month, and I will definitely go all out and go one step further."
Carlisle seemed to have heard the most ridiculous joke in the world. He couldn't help but laugh, with a mocking arc on his lips: "Really? You still dream of taking the first place? Then you must remember that I will be a towering mountain that you will never be able to cross in your life! Leonard, if this kid comes to participate in the points challenge in the future, you must notify me immediately. I will make him deeply understand the gap between common people and nobles, which is like a chasm."
Leonard nodded happily in agreement, feeling secretly proud that his plan was being perfectly realized step by step.
At this moment, the crisp bell for the end of the points challenge suddenly rang, instantly breaking the slightly tense atmosphere on the field.
Immediately afterwards, countless students exclaimed one after another, and everyone's eyes were cast towards the huge stone tablet in the center of the venue.
I saw that the first-grade ranking list had changed again, and the first position that symbolized glory and strength had changed hands again.
221 points! The number shining with golden light hung high at the top of the list. The first place in the first-year ranking list had changed. At this moment, the one who was honored and won the first place in the first-year ranking list of the Points Challenge was actually——
Angelica Rudeus!
Angelica walked slowly towards Ed, Carlisle and the others with light and confident steps. She gently tossed her fiery red hair with her delicate hands, and the flowing hair sparkled brightly in the sun, like a burning flame.
She opened her red lips slightly, her voice clear but with a hint of arrogance: "It's just the first place in the first-year point challenge rankings. Look at you, arguing over such a small thing. Men, you are so childish and ridiculous."
Leonard looked at Angelica who suddenly appeared in front of him, and the things that happened last night emerged involuntarily in his mind. His body suddenly trembled uncontrollably and his face turned pale.
Carlisle looked at Angelica, and his attitude was obviously much gentler than his attitude towards Ed. He put his hands in his pockets casually, put on a nonchalant look, and said lightly: "221 points, it's not so bad. To be honest, I don't care too much about the first place. I just don't want to see the top position occupied by a commoner. Miss Angelica, if you like, it's okay to give you this position. After all, you are the daughter of a noble duke."
"Carlisle, do you know how much I hate you?" Angelica's pretty face turned cold, and she looked at Carlisle with frosty eyes, full of disdain and disgust.
Carlisle just shrugged indifferently and said nonchalantly: "It doesn't matter. Whether you hate me or like me, it has nothing to do with me. You should be grateful that you have a powerful father and be grateful for the prominent status of your family. This is the only reason why I am willing to care about you..."
Leonard was secretly delighted in his heart. As long as Angelica hated Carlisle, it would be fine. But she should not fall in love with this self-righteous guy just because of the so-called strong attitude he showed.
Angelica's eyes accidentally swept over Leonard, and she immediately revealed a look of contempt as if she was looking at trash: "You are such a useless thing, you only know how to hide behind others. You have no ability yourself, but you still like to find some external aid to support you. Is it interesting? Leonard? Is this your method? I thought you were so powerful, but this is it?"
Leonard's face instantly turned red. Just as he was about to open his mouth to argue, he was interrupted by Angelica's angry shout: "Get lost!"
Leonard's heart trembled suddenly, and his body involuntarily took a few steps back, but he was concerned about the gazes of the many students around him. He felt that it would be too embarrassing if he was really scared away, so he suppressed his fear and stood where he was without leaving.
"It seems like things are becoming more and more interesting." Merlin sat in the stands, stroking his chin with interest, a barely perceptible smile flashing in his eyes.
Angelica turned and looked at Ed, her eyes revealing a hint of mixed emotions. At this time, Ed was holding his arm tightly with one hand, with his head slightly lowered, looking like he was hit by this series of events.
Angelica's heart moved, and she wanted to say a few words of comfort, but as soon as the thought came to her mind, she thought of her identity and the gossip about her and Ed circulating in the academy, and immediately gave up the idea, gritted her teeth, turned around and left quickly.
Damn it, what's wrong with me! Angelica was very upset. She felt that she was becoming less and less like the decisive and confident self she used to be.
They were just a few words of comfort between classmates. Why should I be so worried and afraid of those groundless rumors?
Just as Carlisle, Angelica and others were about to leave, Ed suddenly shouted, "Wait a minute!"
