They don't want me to work harder

The content of the letter was mainly Henry II's detailed inquiries about his current situation, and the words were full of care and worry - Richard put himself in his shoes, if his son stayed in school, he would still be able to duel with others every three days. In the event of a terrorist attack, he would probably suffer a blow.

So in his reply, he patiently answered all his father's questions.

At the end of the letter, he also attached the last bit of money he got from Nyon, hoping that Henry II could use it to establish a charity organization to help people injured by the Standard Fruit Company.

Meeting David in a foreign country was a small surprise, but Richard didn't want Connaught to have more surprises like this.

at the same time.

In Principal Hela's office.

"Little Luvia? You came back so suddenly this time. But welcome, the school has added a lot of new things in the past few years, you can help check it out..."

"Huh? Do you want to ask me a question? Okay~ Sister, I like to hear girls' little secrets~"

"Hmm...how can I become gentle and considerate?"

She didn't expect this kind of question at all. Hela was stunned for a moment, but immediately, she smiled evilly, tapped her plump lips with her index finger, and looked at Luvia up and down with her charming eyes.

"Little Luvia, this is not an ordinary request~"

Luvia sighed softly, turned around and wanted to leave.

When facing people other than Richard, she turned back into the ruthless Imperial Sword, since she didn't want to be played with.

"Hey, don't worry, sister didn't say she wouldn't help~"

Witch Hela smiled and pulled Luvia into the armchair, and she sat back behind the desk. Her long black legs were crossed and rubbed, her hands were crossed and she held her pointed chin, and she said softly:

"If you really want to be gentle and considerate, you can first try to consider the problem from the other person's perspective."

Luvia's eyelashes trembled slightly: "From the other party's perspective..."

"Well, yes, but it's more than that."

Hela recalled all the experiences in her long life, and said in a slightly more serious tone:

"Gentle and lovely girls are indeed good. Not to mention ordinary men, I even like my sister. But little Luvia, you must not belittle yourself because of envy."

"I will not."

Luvia's answer was straightforward.

"Yeah, it's the arrogance that the Imperial Sword should have. But what I want to say is that no one can become another person. If you want to attract a truly suitable boy, in addition to learning to be gentle and considerate, you must also Just give full play to your strengths~"

Hela nodded slightly, and her vision was occupied by the majestic mountains.

Well, just the fact that you can't see your toes when you lower your head is a great advantage.

"Put yourself in someone else's shoes and use your strengths..."

Luvia murmured to herself, gaining some inspiration.

"It seems that my words have helped you? That's great. By the way, would you mind asking me who that person is? Or maybe it's the one you always told me to pay attention to..."

Before Hela could finish speaking, Luvia had already disappeared from the door.

"...Really, I've already asked, why are you so embarrassed? Moreover, we are leaving in such a hurry, and the arrangements for the reception and visit have not even been discussed yet..."

in the next few days.

The news of Luvia's return to her alma mater spread throughout Saint Goethe, overshadowing Nyon's popularity.

But Richard was no less at ease.

Today, in the group practical class.

"Hey, Richard, did you really fight alongside Luvia-senpai when you were in Nyon?"

The speaker's name was Ryan, who came from the Kingdom of Sega, which, like Hamilton's hometown, the Grand Duchy of Cantao, was a small country next to Connaught.

Ryan originally had a lukewarm relationship with Hamilton, but soon started talking to Richard after the latter was kicked out of school.

Richard put down the training staff and replied: "Well, that's right!"

"I'm so envious..."

The one who interrupted was another classmate next to him. He wiped off the ice particles on his face caused by the failed spell and sighed: "If I can get to know Luvia-senpai, I won't have to worry about my future in the empire."

"Speaking of which, although the senior sister returned to school this time, except for the welcome ceremony the day before yesterday, she didn't show up much. I couldn't see her face clearly, and I was really itchy."

Ryan replied: "Perhaps she is afraid of affecting the normal teaching order? But I heard that she gave two lessons to the swordsman class yesterday. Alas, those of us who study magic probably don't get this kind of treatment."

"Then there should be at least another speech, right? To inspire us to study hard and serve His Majesty. Tsk tsk, I don't know what she is busy with all day long..."

Give a speech or something... I guess he will be rejected directly by that woman, right?

If she really rushes the duck, she might just draw her sword and cut off a corner of the podium, and then tell the students in the audience, whoever doesn't study hard will do the same with this podium!

Hey, maybe this is really effective!

Complaints are complaints, but Richard actually felt a little strange.

Why hasn't Luvia come to him these days?This is not in line with the nature of primitive people!

That was when Shiji Empress and Stinky Juanbao were in the same room, and Aragaki Yui and Little John were riding in the same car - how could they not hold back their mouths?

It should be said, sometimes people just have itchy skin. On the road, he was obviously afraid that Luvia would get angry and tie someone up, but now, Richard was curious and wanted to take the initiative to take a look at her.

Soon, the practical class ended.

The other students went to play polo together and invited Richard, who declined as usual.

He carried his staff and sword and returned to the training ground, wanting to apply for a separate training room and roll another volume.

then……

"Sorry, classmate, this place is full."

"full?"

"Isn't this the Easter competition coming soon? Many people are training in teams, and they often make reservations for two or three months..."

Richard slapped his forehead: "Ah, I forgot about this."

At this time, someone behind him said: "Huh, are you too arrogant? You are so careless and don't prepare in advance, and you still want to win in the competition?"

I turned around and saw that the people speaking were four classmates who were from imperial nobility. Although many students of Saint Goethe had a positive attitude towards Richard, there were always some who were hostile to him because of their status, but they just didn’t dare to jump too far. That’s all.

No, after those people mocked, they didn't say much, but they deliberately raised their heads high and walked slowly towards the small training room on the left.

Richard rolled his eyes, not bothering to explain that he didn't want to participate in the competition at all.

Nowadays, a handful of idiots are no longer worth his while.

But one thing said, he was indeed a little worried.

The training room was full, but he didn't want to go to the public training ground - he hadn't forgotten the strange behavior Dahei showed when Nyon confronted the Griffin Knight, and he was about to call out the dragon to take a look, but that would It needs a big place with few people.

Is it possible to leave school?

If you play with Longlong on the outskirts of the city, you may easily attract the city defense troops if you are not careful...

At this time, the administrator, who was originally looking apologetic, heard the words in the sound pipe next to her.

"Eh? It's that one? Are you sure? Okay, I'll tell him...student, don't leave yet!"

The administrator stopped Richard and said, "The people in the innermost training room said they can share it with you."

The innermost one?

Richard was a little surprised. As far as he knew, Saint Goethe's training room was also divided into many levels (after all, the professionals were very different from each other). Basic reservations were available, and advanced ones cost money.

The room at the end is the one with the largest area and the most functions. It is said that it can withstand the full attack of gold-level professionals. Opening it once will consume more than a dozen magic crystals.

In the past, even if there were discounts for members of the Dawn Class, Richard would not be willing to use them.

The people who had just mocked Richard also heard these words, their eyes widened, their mouths twisted, and an emotion called jealousy overflowed.

One of them stepped forward and asked: "But that classmate inside lacks sparring practice? We can do this too..."

The administrator shook her head: "Sorry, the other party specified that they want to check the classmate."

Richard seemed to hear the sound of his back molars being bitten.

Well... I'm happy.

Now I can only be respectful rather than obey my orders.

After making some guesses in his mind, he followed the example of those people just now, raised his chin, and walked slowly into the depths of the corridor.

Opening the door, he came to a platform that was a little too wide.

Looking around, I can faintly see mountain peaks in the distance... Ah, isn't this indoors?

Fantasy?projection?Or simply fixed a fantasy world here?

It's amazing.

After admiring it for a moment, he turned back and looked at the figure waiting for him at the end of the room. Sure enough...

"Miss Luvia, thank you for the invitation."

"You're welcome, I just happen to have something to tell you..."

Luvia took something dark from behind and gradually came closer.

Richard raised his eyebrows, a little nervous.

W-could it be an iron chain?Sister, we haven’t seen each other for a few days and now we have to do a lot of work?No, this training room is closed, there is no place to run...

"I want to give you a gift."

"what?"

When people arrived, Richard saw clearly what Luvia was holding...

a sword?

It was a one-handed sword, entirely silver-white, with seven azure diamonds inlaid on the sword's grid. There were subtle patterns on the blade, and there was faint mercury-like liquid flowing inside.

"This is……"

"The sword forged by the elves is called Avery Zinda, which translates as the Thorn of Dark Light. It is not only sharp and tough, but also engraved with runes to assist in casting spells and speeding up magic recovery. It can also be used as a staff."

Luvia paid attention to Richard's expression nervously and said:

"I found that although you are a summoner, you like to use swords, and your sword is very ordinary, so I took the time to pick one specially. It should be suitable for you."
