As a Sword Saint, I Want to Be a Demon King

Chapter 48 Conditions that cannot be refused

"How do you know she's strong?"

The principal didn't immediately refuse this time, but asked her strangely.

"It's just a gut feeling."

The silver-haired girl lied with her eyes open.

But from the surface, no one can see the flaws.

"That's right. Sometimes intuition is also very important if you want to become a strong player on your own."

The principal rarely praised her:

"Your intuition is very accurate... Angelina is one of the strongest instructors in our academy, majoring in dark and elemental spells."

"Especially in the application of elemental magic, it's not even below me."

——To be honest, I think she is probably stronger than you.

Egwene muttered in her stomach.

Of course, she would never say this sentence anyway.

"It's okay to let her protect you."

The principal stood up, pacing back and forth with his hands behind his back, and said:

"After all, both of you are women, so you are very convenient in many things, and you are not afraid of any strange rumors."

"However... you still need to respect her own opinion."

Having said that, he frowned slightly:

"Instructor Angelina is very busy. A master alchemist and dual-line magician like her usually stays in the laboratory, meditates and studies. The time for each lecture is squeezed out."

"I'm afraid it's not realistic to ask her to spare time to be a bodyguard, so there must be a reason she can accept."

"Leave this to me to figure it out."

The silver-haired girl took a big bag and said:

"I'll try to help you convince her."

"When did you help me?"

The principal was angry and funny:

"Obviously I'm helping you... Forget it."

He shook his head:

"Who made you the granddaughter of my old friend? And the only granddaughter... oh."

He sighed:

"Don't blame me for testing you back then, it was for your own good; at least if I know about it, your life is still guaranteed;"

"If Ken finds something abnormal, he will definitely kill you without hesitation."

"What's up with Ken?"

The silver-haired girl asked curiously:

"I always feel that you seem to be afraid of him, and the title of the dragon slayer. Does he hate dragons?"

"It's more than disgusting."

The principal shook his head and said:

"It's simply irreconcilable... Remember, when you meet him, it's best not to mention any word related to dragons in front of him, otherwise you will see what is crazy and unreasonable."

"As for his real identity, the king deliberately ordered the information to be blocked, so you don't need to ask any more."

He issued an order to expel the silver-haired girl:

"I'll take care of Angelina's matter. Write your thoughts and submit them in a report, preferably before school is over this afternoon."

……

……

"Let me be Egwene Garcia's bodyguard?"

Angelina was stunned when she heard the principal's words.

"Yes, this is a decision we made after careful consideration."

The principal showed a kind smile:

"As you know, she is a descendant of a hero and a symbol of our academy..."

After complimenting the silver-haired girl severely, he coughed:

"And more importantly, I've asked her for her opinion, and she seems very happy with you being her bodyguard."

"—I object to it."

It's better not to say that.

After saying this, Angelina blurted out the words of rejection like a cat whose tail had been stepped on:

"I don't have the time and energy to take care of an outsider."

"Hehe, don't say that."

The Headmaster laughed and said:

"She is not an outsider. Every student is our child... We are like their parents. Besides, I didn't ask you to follow her every day."

"But I'm really busy."

Angelina refused again:

"Marquis Josephine placed a batch of medicine orders for me this morning. It seems to be a temporary addition. The time is very tight, and I still have classes..."

"These are just minor problems."

The principal waved his hand and said:

"You don't seem to understand what I just said. I mean you don't need to follow her every day."

He narrowed his eyes, looked at the dumbfounded beautiful female mentor, and said gently:

"In other words, let her follow you every day—get it?"

"Absolutely not!"

Angelina's body visibly trembled, and she cried out.

Then he seemed to realize his gaffe, and reluctantly added a reasonable reason:

"I... I don't like to be around when I'm doing experiments."

"Oh? You rarely show this look."

The principal looked at her, his eyes gradually became sharper:

"Or, is there any reason why you absolutely can't let people follow you?"

"No particular reason."

Angelina understood that her performance aroused the other party's suspicion, and immediately calmed down:

"I'm just used to being alone, and suddenly I feel a little flustered when I hear this kind of thing. Please let me go back and think about it."

"She's in a dangerous situation right now."

The headmaster said seriously:

"There are gangsters with malicious intentions who want her life, and she has been attacked more than once at home and outside recently."

"This is a very serious situation, otherwise I wouldn't have asked you here on purpose."

His tone was very dignified:

"I even suspect that some guys with ulterior motives want to completely eradicate the hero's blood!"

"You mean...the recent monster attack?"

Angelina has calmed down:

"I do often hear people mention this kind of thing. It seems that the monsters have become particularly active recently. There are even rumors of villages and towns being destroyed in Listea."

"Things on the empire's side are very complicated, and it may not be the fault of monsters."

The principal waved his hand and said:

"And it has nothing to do with us, we just need to protect our students."

He persuaded earnestly:

"This is not only the task I gave you, but also the request of an old man, and the responsibility of a guardian of the kingdom;"

"Didn't you always want to enter the Void Library? This is a great opportunity."

He opened the drawer, took out a badge, and put it on the table:

"You should know that, except for those who have made great contributions to the kingdom, and the direct blood of the royal family, other people will not be able to enter there for the rest of their lives."

"But today I promise you that if you can protect Egwene Garcia from the gangsters, I will allow you to enter once in a while."

Seeing the badge on the table, the female instructor struggled.

"Okay, I promise."

In the end, she still let out a long sigh, and reluctantly chose to compromise.

……

……

"Wow, the Headmaster's efficiency is really high."
