Chapter 232 Leila's Request
The first game ended with the victory of the White Team. The other teams either did not encounter the monsters with a lot of bonus points, or were simply unable to defeat them and were directly eliminated.
But the victory of the White Team gave the players a great stimulus. Almost all teams overturned their original tactical plans and changed their ultimate goal to killing monsters.
There is no way. The best reward in the box is 10 points, but eliminating a player only gives 1 point. Facing a monster with 100 points, as long as you fight bravely, once you succeed, the advantage in points will be overwhelming.
The subsequent competitions became even more intense. In almost every game, brilliant fireworks representing 100 points rose from the ground, making the entire campus colorful. Many residents in the city could not help but stop outside the campus, curious about what new tricks these imaginative magicians had come up with.
After several weekends of fierce competition, in mid-December, the College Cup finally decided the winner, and it was the team that Jaslin and Joan were in!
They advanced all the way, and finally challenged other teams. After successfully killing a monster, they won the final game with a crushing momentum!
Lilith was even more excited to see an acquaintance win. She and Lulu and the others were in the stands, screaming as they watched Senior Sister Qiong waving to the audience. They were happier than if they had won.
"What are you so proud of?" Teacher Colin said in a calm tone, not even looking at the people beside him. "The fact that they were successful only shows that Goletia's students are good enough, and it has nothing to do with the tricks you guys played."
“Of course, teacher, I’m not proud. I’m just happy for them. I thought… you would be happy to see such a result.” Catherine also looked ahead, watching the seniors celebrating around the field.
"Humph, if the Gaia Empire could work as hard as Gloria, I would probably be happier." Colin said coldly, looking at the young faces in front of him.
Catherine pursed her lips and said, "King George... seems to be in much better health recently..."
Perhaps the day when she would take power would be further delayed. Thinking of this, Catherine also felt a sense of powerlessness and irritability. There was too little she could do, and it was a long way to go before she could fulfill her promise...
"They will become the best warriors and become legends in history, just like--" Catherine said dryly, trying to ease the atmosphere of the conversation.
"Legends? I would rather see them making noise, getting into trouble, or even doing stupid things while they're alive, rather than seeing people crushed by pain behind their coffins." Colin's tone suddenly became a little bleak. Simon might be right. He might really be the old man who was stuck in the old times.
"I hope you get what you want."
Catherine turned her head to look at the teacher beside her. His back was more hunched and thinner than two years ago. The wizard robe hung on him, fluttering lightly.
Catherine was in a rather excited mood, but she finally calmed down. She lowered her head and realized that she had become a little too proud of herself.
"I remember, teacher." She wanted to go faster, faster...
……
"Help me think of a solution quickly, Catherine!" In the final magic defense class, Lilith and Catherine were working on the same team, but this guy's attention was not on the homework at all.
"This kind of thing..." Catherine frowned, feeling a little embarrassed. "Leila doesn't always listen to me, and this is your family matter."
While attending the celebration party held by seniors Jaslin and June on the weekend, Lilith excitedly planned the itinerary for this holiday with her seniors at noon. In the evening, Leila came to her house and forcefully asked Lilith to go back to Dragonfang Castle with her to celebrate Hanukkah.
"I've never celebrated Hanukkah with you before!" Leila twisted her face and said in a domineering tone that left no room for negotiation. "Mom, Dad, and Lucinda will be here, so Hanukkah should be a family holiday together!"
Lilith was dumbfounded at that time. If it was only Melissa's family, it would be fine, but if that cheap old Deng was also there... She didn't want to be in the same room with that guy at all, and he probably felt the same way.
"But, but I have plans for the holidays. I have already discussed it with my classmates..." She glanced at Leila's face and carefully tried to find a reasonable excuse for herself.
"Yes." Leila raised her head and said proudly. "Wouldn't it be nice if I could work with you next year? I'll be the strongest guardian."
"Leila." Because Leila's little head was shaking, Lilith couldn't help but touch her soft red hair again, then she took her hand back before she turned her face, and mustered up the courage to say, "I don't want to--"
"elder sister."
Leila leaned forward again, and buried her head in Lilith's palm, blinking her big eyes at Lilith.
"Please! I've been looking forward to this day since I was a child."
Lilith was silent for a moment, then slowly raised her hand and covered her nose.
……
"So you agree to it?" After returning to the training class, Catherine was speechless about Lilith's incompetence.
"Hehe, I didn't want to do that, but she called me sister! The atmosphere was already that tense." Lilith covered her face in shame.
After I was blinded by a cute girl and made a promise, I now regret it, very much.
"Leila is someone who values promises." Catherine summoned a strong wind to blow the spell from the other side off course, shielding herself and Lilith, and then continued, "If you have agreed and cannot do it, I believe she will be very, very angry."
"I think so too..." Lilith sighed, "So, this will definitely be the most difficult Hanukkah of my life."
“Is it more difficult than the time when you were locked up in the Magic Guild?” Catherine teased with a curl of her lips.
"I would rather be locked up again!" Lilith said in a very pious tone. Who? Who will lock her up? She would have a legitimate reason to avoid family gatherings!
The force of the elements made her robe rustle. She turned her worries into motivation, and the surging wood elements gathered into vines, which broke out of the ground and headed towards the opposing team.
Jaina on the opposite side also reacted quickly. Wildfire howled, accompanied by strong winds, and burned along the vines. Lilith hurriedly summoned a shield to resist.
"Lucas! What are you doing! Go ahead!" Sean, who was on the same team with Jaina, was so angry that he beat his chest and stamped his feet when he saw Lucas standing there in a daze at this time of attack.
Lucas, holding a sword, looked at the two girls opposite who were just chatting, but seemed to have lost the will to fight, and hesitated to move forward with the sword in hand.
Hearing the voice, Lilith finally turned her head and looked in his direction without saying anything.
When the bell rang, Teacher Rebecca clapped her hands, gathered the students together, gave a brief summary of the semester, and then announced that the last defense class before the holiday had ended successfully and said goodbye to everyone happily.
"Are you going to pick up your mother over during this holiday?" Lilith caught up with the slow-moving blue-haired boy. She heard that he had bought a small house in the south of the city, but there was not a trace of smugness on his face.
"Yes, so I don't plan to spend the holidays with you." Lucas said.
Lilith nodded and suddenly stretched out her foot to trip Lucas. When he was tilted in surprise, Lilith grabbed his arm and threw him over her shoulder, knocking him to the ground.
"Lilith!" Lucas felt the pain, and a hint of anger finally appeared on his numb face, which made him look more lively. "What are you doing?!"
"What else did I want to ask you?" Lilith threw him to the ground, her face uneasy, lowered her head and glared at him and asked, "Have you been giving in to me during these days of training?"
Lucas was startled when he heard this, and turned his head away without saying anything.
"Is there something wrong with your brain?" Lilith sneered. She stepped on Lucas and said, "Do I need you to give in? Who are you looking down on?"
These days, Lilith finally realized Lucas's abnormality. He felt particularly guilty whenever he faced her and Catherine.
"Is it because of the winery distribution rights?" Lilith suddenly spoke up.
Lucas looked up in astonishment, the blood rushing to his face, and he stuttered - "You, you know?"
"I knew it a long time ago!" Lilith looked at him as if he was a fool. How could he not care about her own business?
After Bella went to the businessman's home for the second background check and told her that the businessman had an extremely beautiful wife with long, gorgeous hair like sapphires, she immediately understood who the "best friend" was.
She just didn't expect that Lucas' recent abnormality was due to this.
"He, he didn't discuss it with me, and I only found out about it later!" Lucas' face flushed red, as if he was a thief caught stealing in public.
"Lucas." Lilith sighed.
“Maybe your family understands the meaning of friends better than you do.”
