Reject me, hateful woman

"If there are any other doubts, what I heard was all told by him and that Ken!"

Historia said anxiously.

"Xia, calm down first and listen to me. Don't you think it's unreasonable for Lin En to go to Teacher Ken to join forces to deal with us?"

"Why is this so unreasonable? That guy was already very annoying, and now he uses such insidious methods. I really want to bite him."

Historia grinned and showed off her little fangs.

"But did Lin En's arcane class just help us?"

Elena said calmly.

"Yeah... maybe we misunderstood. He was just showing off his deck."

Historia said harshly, but her eyes couldn't help but move away.

But hearing her say this, Elena laughed instead, because this reason was so ridiculous that Historia obviously didn't believe it herself.

How could anyone be willing to waste their magic power and risk others stealing their arcane ideas just to ridicule others?

"Arcane class aside, he also helped you out yesterday and forgave me for my recklessness. What's more, he also helped me... twice."

"Why is he doing these things if he really just wants to get us out of school?"

Historia's cherry lips opened, but no words came out. Instead, she spit out a small bubble.

Elena smiled and took out her handkerchief to wipe the corners of her lips, and continued:

"Besides, you have already said that this is the Purple Flower Empire. Here, classmate Lin En is the prince. If he wants to target us, he obviously has such an aboveboard and effective method. Although it is difficult to make us drop out, why must he do it secretly? To join forces with an unknown dangerous person, Mr. Ken, and to take the blame..."

After saying this, Elena's voice suddenly paused, as if she thought of something, and her expression changed slightly.

"What's the matter, why don't you continue talking?"

Historia wondered.

"I just thought of a possibility, Shia,"

Elena paused and said in a somewhat disbelieving tone:

"Is it possible that Mr. Ken originally wanted to deal with us, and that Mr. Lin only pretended to join forces with him to protect us?"

"This is ridiculous. You already said he is the prince. If you really want to protect us, why don't you just arrest that Ken?"

Historia shook her head like a wavy drum, her red twin tails flicking back and forth.

"It's not that simple,"

Elena shook her head,

"Mr. Ken is a precious arcanist talent and is also a senior head teacher at Eden College. Even a shadow knight from the Purple Flower Empire would find it difficult to enter Eden College to arrest someone without evidence."

The red-haired girl opened her mouth and wanted to refute but didn't know where to start, because she knew that Elena was right, otherwise Ken would not have been able to successfully lurk for so long without being exposed.

But if you put it this way, shouldn’t the conspiracy between Lynn and Ken be understood as:

In order to protect the two of them and expose Ken's conspiracy, Lin En deliberately went to jail and joined forces with him!

So why did he sign the magical contract so decisively that was obviously not good for him?

Wait, Historia suddenly thought of the last words she heard from Linn:

"Ken, you're the best teammate."

From the perspective of Lin En's intention to lurk, this sentence is simply full of sarcasm towards the other party.

Historia felt her heart beating faster again.

Why should he be so kind to himself? Is he really his fiancée...

"Xia, have you figured it out?"

Seeing that Historia was still in a daze, Elena couldn't help but ask.

"No, it's impossible!"

Historia shouted with a red face.

"You still don't believe it?"

Elena couldn't help but sigh. This was actually what she expected. After all, prejudice is not easy to get rid of. After hesitating, she still said:

"How about this, Shia, in the next few days, we will see whether Lin En wants to protect or hurt us. If he really wants to hurt us, I will go with you to expose him, but if he is doing it for If you protect us, then do it in exchange..."

Elena mustered up her courage and said seriously;

"Let us also protect classmate Lin En, okay?"

Hearing this, Historia was silent for a while, acquiescing to the proposal.

"Then how should we tell whether he is protecting or harming us?"

Elena already had an answer to this question.

As an orphan, he was able to crawl around and grow up safely on his own. Apart from luck and caution, he all relied on his own "that" ability.

Although that was her biggest secret, if classmate Lin En really went to this step to protect herself, and she kept it secret and let him get into trouble because of it, Elena would never forgive herself.

So, she said directly:

"Xia, actually, I have a special ability. I can hear the strongest voices in other people's hearts."

"Whether they want to harm us or protect us, the voices in their hearts will not lie when they implement the plan. By then, we will know the position of classmate Lin En, right?"

Historia reluctantly nodded, agreeing with this method.

Moreover, she must prove that Lin En will not be her fiancé, but just a stepping stone on her way to the top!

"When do we start?"

she asked.

"It won't be long, because the next class is Teacher Ken's potions class."

Historia said.

......

A few minutes later, before Potions class started, Linn managed to rush back and said hello to the two girls, but received no response.

[The other party refuses to greet you and gives you +1 magic power]

This is okay, Lin En is happy.

He was even more looking forward to the reward he would get after backstabbing two people before going to say hello.

That's right, although they have signed a contract with Ken, the two parties still can't completely trust each other. According to the agreement, the two parties must work together to target two women at a time in the Potions class.

In other words, the first real backstab is about to begin!

Ken gave himself a note with key information that would come in handy during this lesson.

"Cough cough!"

At this moment, several coughs were heard, and a huge box floated behind Ken as he walked into the classroom.

"Class, welcome to Potions class."

When he said this, Ken opened his eyes slightly and looked at Linn.

"What we are going to learn today is anatomy..."

........

"Elena, listen quickly, the voices in their hearts."

"I heard it already. Classmate Lin En and Teacher Ken are thinking the same thing, which is..."

........

"Mandrake."

Linn unfolded the note and saw only these four words written on it.

Chapter 20: Scared me and I released the wind blade

Mandrake, a strange magical creature that is difficult to determine whether it is an animal or a plant.

It is characterized by a thick body like a radish and a Sima face. Once pulled out of the soil, it will scream like a killing pig. Many teachers in the Potions Department will choose to dissect this plant as the first lesson. .

Because it is magical and noisy without any danger, it is the best example for new students to see the magic of the arcane world.

However, just because mandrake is not dangerous does not mean that it cannot carry dangers.

Ken looked at a large box of mandrakes. A certain mandrake plant had been marked with yellow leaves and an expression that looked like constipation. A trace of pride flashed in his eyes.

Yes, this is the masterpiece of Ken's secret skill: "Poison Arcana".

As a rare attribute, the poison arcana may not be as destructive as the fire arcana that Historia is good at, and the speed is not as fast as Linn's wind arcana. It may even hurt yourself, but it is It has two major characteristics: concealment and durability.

Ken has already used his unique poison arcana spell on the marked group in advance. As the dissection continues, the poison in the mandrake will spread into the body of the dissector.

The reason he left that mark was to tell Linn not to touch the mandrake during the dissection.

As long as this plan succeeds, while pretending to be shocked, I will try my best to rescue the poisoned Historia, deliberately leaving Elena aside. Once the poison takes effect, Elena can say goodbye to Eden College.

As for the consequences, Historia, the noble highness, saved her life after her own rescue. It was just a civilian student who dropped out of school because of some mistakes.

He was already responsible for implementing the plan, and it was up to Lin En to handle the follow-up. He couldn't betray himself anyway.

Your Royal Highness, you understand what I mean.

Ken cast a look at the other party.

.......

Lin En, on the other hand, after receiving the other party's eyes, thought for a moment, and then suddenly realized.

Evil, worthy of being the teammate I chose, he is so evil!

Ken, you must want me to deliberately destroy the mandrake and then have the newly formed study group severely deduct credits, right?

This would not only make Elena, who cherishes her credits, feel uncomfortable, but also embarrass Historia, who has a good reputation. It would also significantly reduce her favorability with the other party.

Killing three birds with one stone, as expected of you!

Lin En, who understood, secretly made an OK gesture to reassure the other party.

"Then, let the leader of each study group come up and receive a mandrake, and then start digging."

Ken said solemnly.

He had already read the study group list in advance. If there was no statement, the group leader would be the person who submitted the list by default, and the person who submitted the list was Elena.

The target of the spread of poison is you~

Ken smiled coldly in his heart.

As each group of members received their own mandrakes, it would soon be Linn's group's turn.

Of course, Elena and Historia, who had witnessed the eye-to-eye exchange between the two, would not sit still and wait for death.

"Elena, go get it quickly, don't let this annoying guy come into contact with that bad teacher, they will definitely play tricks!"

Historia gritted her teeth.

"Okay, I'll go right now."

Elena nodded, and just as she was about to step forward, a hand suddenly stopped her in front of her.

It was Lynn.

"It might be dangerous, I'll go get the mandrake."

Linn said coldly.

Ken was so good at it, so he had to show off. Lin En planned to pretend that his hands were slipping and dropped the grass on the ground on the way back from receiving it, which was simple and crude.

Danger?

I think you are the biggest danger!

Historia sneered in her heart, of course she would not agree. Before Linn could finish her words, she slapped her back:

"Impossible, you idiot! Elena is the team leader!"
