Reject me, hateful woman

Finally, a trace of Holly's extremely anticipated embarrassment flashed across Lin's expression, which seemed to have never wavered.

"Sorry, Master Orlando, I don't mean to be dissatisfied with you. There is a reason why I did not attend the class."

Linn explained in a panic.

Holly had already planned that no matter what Lin En said, she would remain unmoved and use this as a basis to press forward step by step. However, even though she had simulated the excuses Lin En might come up with, Lin En's En's next words made her still a little stunned.

"Actually, I don't have any talent in making strange objects at all."

"What did you say?"

Holly frowned deeply, suspecting that she had heard wrongly.

"You don't have any talent in making magical objects, so how did you get No. 1 in the magical object master examination?"

"That's just because I provided some help during the Magical Object Master exam and the actions of the Shadow Knights. Because it is not convenient to disclose those achievements, Dean Soljana used this false name to protect and compensate me. It’s just me. This is a secret matter in the academy, so Master Orlando doesn’t know anything about it.”

After hearing this explanation, Holly also expressed that she understood. Although this kind of thing seemed a bit unreasonable, it did seem like something that Soljana could do.

Holly is not interested in the power struggle or other things in the empire, and rarely bothers with interpersonal communication. However, those guys in the Magical Objects Association who chased her with hot faces and cold butts suddenly lost a lot of faces. She could still feel this.

However, because of this, a new doubt was born in Holly's heart, so she continued to ask:

"Since you don't have the talent to be a magician, I can understand why you don't come to class. Then, why did you make a special trip to appear in the final exam? Moreover, you just said that those things are secrets, so you told me so generously, not afraid of me. Tell it?"

However, after listening to her words, Lin En was just stunned for a moment, and then shook his head firmly:

"No, it won't be, because I believe that Master Orlando is definitely not that kind of person, so it doesn't matter even if I tell you."

"As for the reason why I came here specifically to take the final exam..."

Lin En smiled apologetically:

"Actually, it's just for the credits. Once you pass Master Orlando's course, you will get very high credits. I just took the exam to get more credits."

This answer sounds reasonable, and Linn's performance in the exam can be considered to be consistent with what he said.

However, Holly responded with a sneer.

Now Lin En finally looked a little like the secretive and posturing aristocrats in her impression.

"You lied, Student Norton. If you are unwilling to tell the truth, I think our topic can end here."

"Wait, please wait..."

Lynn's elegance and calmness that he had always maintained finally wavered. After finally catching the flaw, Holly also pursued the victory. She crossed her legs and leaned forward slightly, looking at him from afar with a rather playful look. Linn relieved the pressure:

"So, if you tell me your true purpose now, I can still do it for you..."

"It's because of you, Master Orlando!"

Linn suddenly said loudly.

"Oh, it turns out it's because of me, eh?!"

The somewhat quiet office, which had been idle for a long time, finally gained some popularity due to the arrival of the two guests, but at this time it fell into an eerie silence.

Linn clenched his fists and placed them on his legs. He lowered his head deeply, as if he wanted to bury it in his chest, but he spoke one after another like popping beans:

"I'm sorry, Master Orlando. I've heard about it a long time ago. The most outstanding magician in the empire, the 'Purple Miracle Master', Master Holly Orlando is not only an excellent magician, but also an outstanding woman. , I... I know that my talent as a magician is not only very limited, but also almost clumsy, so I don’t dare to come to class and disturb your teaching.”

"However, I am extremely reluctant to think that the opportunity to see such an outstanding lady up close may be missed forever."

Lin En turned away, looking ashamed:

"I'm sorry, Master Orlando. I actually came to take the exam with the idea of ​​​​exiting after paying homage to you. I am deeply sorry for the behavior that polluted your sacred classroom. I can accept any punishment from you. accept!"

Of course, Lin En didn't wait to punish him.

Because Holly was also stunned by his sincere and direct speech, and was stunned in place.

In fact, as a rare high-level elf in the human empire, Holly is very confident in her appearance.

When she was growing up, there were many high-quality males who showed their affection to her.

However, for Holly, who came to the human empire from the elven kingdom in order to become a better magician, feelings are just a stumbling block.

Only the weak will lick and comfort each other, while the strong will only pursue a better version of themselves.

Those affectionate confessions from the handsome, elegant, majestic or feminine members of the opposite sex, in Holly's eyes, have no other meaning at all except increasing her dislike of the opposite sex and slowing down her progress in self-improvement.

Gradually, as Holly's status and strength improved, and her dislike of the opposite sex became known to many well-known people as an undisclosed secret, that kind of desperate confessor disappeared, and Holly also disappeared for a long time. No such harassment has been received.

In the later stages, when Holly's strength and level as a magician entered a bottleneck period, although she was occasionally curious about the relationship between men and women, she was not good at interacting with others due to her natural aversion to the opposite sex and being accustomed to high profile. The two items of communication were superimposed, and this thought was ignored in Holly's heart.

Compared with the heroes of the human race who had confessed to Holly, Linn's confession could only be said to be clumsy, like the words forced out of a little boy who had accidentally understood feelings and was teased by a girl.

But the most incredible thing for Holly was here, because she discovered that she had been able to say thank you smoothly and then refuse three times in a row, but now she couldn't help but become a little jerky and difficult to say.

And the instinctive disgust towards the opposite sex seems to have failed at this time.

Normally, Holly might be a little confused about the reason, but in such an embarrassing moment, Holly actually felt apologetic to Lynn, and didn't know how to face Lynn.

She suddenly felt like a bad woman who had teased a young boy, and was at a loss after the opponent hit the ball straight.

"Cough cough,"

After trying hard to stabilize her mind, Holly forced herself to calm down and said in a serious tone:

"Your Highness Lin En, thank you for your admiration, but I think that at your age, maybe...perhaps you should get along better with human girls of similar age to you."

Although these words were a bit blunt, for a moment, they were the best rejection words that Holly, who also lacked experience in communicating with others, could come up with.

However, what she didn't expect was that after hearing these words, Lin En, whose face was slightly red, showed a confused expression:

"Ha, I'm sorry, what else can Master Holly say?"

This time it was Holly's turn to freeze:

"Did not you say......."

Lin En shook his head helplessly and said with some humor:

"I'm just a student of Eden, I have some admiration for Teacher Holly, and I'm not interested in becoming your disciple, etc..."

Lin En suddenly realized: "You didn't think I was confessing just now, did you?"

Holly:?

"Or"

Lin En suddenly paused, narrowed his eyes and smiled:

"Are you expecting something?"

Chapter 101: An unexpected surprise? 4k

"What did you say?"

The dark purple eyes suddenly became cold, and the sharp sight seemed to be able to penetrate the soul, staring straight at Lin En.

In her heart, Holly had to admit that she was indeed thinking a little wrong just now.

After all, for a high elf who hates the opposite sex, it is not easy to meet a handsome person of the opposite sex that he does not hate so much. Although the other person is relatively young, it is inevitable that he will have a good impression.

Coupled with the just-right atmosphere and some bad lines deliberately induced by Linn, it is difficult not to cause a slight misunderstanding among the elves who are devoted to strange object technology and have a very low level of interpersonal communication.

However, this does not mean that Holly will tolerate a junior taking advantage of her momentary gaffe to act arrogantly.

The goodwill she had finally accumulated for Lin En was wiped out by Lin En's rude behavior.

Next, if Lin En is still ungrateful and even wants to take the opportunity to blackmail her, she won't mind teaching Lin En a lesson.

You shouldn't give these stupid men any hope!

However, under those penetrating gazes, what Holly saw was not a trembling idiot, but a pair of bright blue eyes looking back at her calmly. However, under Holly's sudden display of oppression, Under the pressure, there was just the right amount of doubt.

Linn seemed a little shocked by Holly's unusual behavior, and explained with some confusion:

"I mean, doesn't Master Holly have the slightest idea of ​​accepting me as his disciple? Is there any problem?"

Hearing this answer, Holly's sharp momentum suddenly froze.

There seems to be nothing wrong. Even if the process is a bit dramatic, Lin En is indeed the one who passed the test he set and won the first place. It is normal to have such doubts. It seems that he is indeed a little stressed.

Lin En showed a look of surprise and smiled somewhat self-deprecatingly:

"Sorry, I asked a stupid question. For a mediocre person like me, it is certainly not worth your time, Master Holly."

To be honest, Linn's evaluation of himself is very fair.

As a woman who is close to the top of the Magical Artifact Master, Holly has a sharp vision, and the same applies to her judgment of these students.

Many things in this world are inherently unfair, such as grades and exams. Depending on luck or hard work, you might be able to rewrite your ranking, but making rare items is different. If you can't learn it, you just can't learn it.

Some people can construct the core of strange objects at a glance, and they can stumblingly piece together strange objects by themselves. Some people have made some achievements through unremitting efforts. However, as long as the genius makes a little effort, he will still be thousands of miles away. .

If such a mediocre person usually laughs at himself in front of her, Holly would not bother to say anything. After all, her life is full of such people. If everyone needs to be comforted, even the lifespan of a high elf will be somewhat dwarfed by comparison.

But at this time, after all, she had wronged Lynn first. With just the right amount of guilt, Holly took the initiative to comfort her for the first time: "Don't belittle yourself, Lynn Norton, you have your own value. "

"Thank you, Master Holly."

Lin En nodded slightly, and while suppressing her "disappointment", she squeezed out a smile again. Then, she seemed to suddenly remember something:

"By the way, Master Orlando, although I can't, you still want to accept a disciple from the academy, so can I recommend one of my friends to you?"

"A friend of yours?"

Holly asked suspiciously.

"Yes, that's Elena, my classmate in the same group,"

Lin En nodded seriously,

"Although her background is very ordinary, she is the most talented magic weapon maker I have ever seen. I think that if there are no accidents in the magic weapon maker exam, she should be the real number one."

His words were both deliberate and sincere.

There is no doubt that Elena has a talent for making strange objects. In the original work, she was almost born as a wild child, but in the end, she relied on hard work and the halo of the protagonist to become a master of strange objects no less than Holly. If there really is a famous teacher With assistance, Elena's achievements will be limitless.

It's just that in the original work, in order to slow down Elena's upgrade speed, the author just asked her to slap a few nobles who were instigated by others and deliberately looking for trouble, and then voluntarily withdrew from the election as Holly's disciple.

Well, by the way, the mastermind behind the scenes is none other than His Highness Lin En in the original work...

But now, Lin En has become the one who wants to convince Holly to accept Elena as her disciple. It can be regarded as the reincarnation of heaven.

Linn could actually take that route and stab Elena in the back, but this route of holding others back instead of improving himself was rejected by him in a second.

Putting aside the fact that the two already have a "deal" relationship, Elena's favorability towards herself will not increase too much, and may even decrease as a result.

After all, the ability of the system is that the stronger the heroine who rejects her, the more rewards she will receive. From a long-term perspective, Elena's rapid improvement in strength can be considered a greater positive benefit to herself who is eager to become stronger.

Lynn thought it would take a lot of effort to convince Holly, but unexpectedly, the latter nodded happily without much hesitation:

"Okay, I will consider what you said."

This answer was somewhat beyond Linn's expectation, but Holly didn't explain much.

In fact, Lin En's words played into her mind. After all, she had noticed Elena's strange talent from the beginning of the class. However, for Holly, who has a proud vision, attracting her attention would not cause her to break herself. Set up rules to force Elena to become a disciple.

If you miss it, you miss it, and Holly won't care too much about it.

Lin En's request just gave her a step up. Not only could she naturally accept a female disciple who was obviously very talented, but it could also be regarded as making some compensation to Lin En, at least that's what Holly thought.

Of course, Holly still has some other little secrets deep in her heart.

When she just mobilized her magic eyes to stare at Linn, Holly also activated the magical objects she carried with her to protect her spirit and soul, and both of them appeared to be intact and not under any attack.

This shows that the reason why I have no dislike for Linn, and even have a slight affection for Linn, is not due to the influence of some magical object or arcane magic.

Then there are only two possibilities that can do this. The first is that there is a higher level, close to the rules level existence that affects the two people, but this is obviously impossible.

Then the only second possibility is true. I really have a crush on Her Majesty the Empress's youngest son, the young prince who is hundreds of years younger than me?

This was a shock to Holly.

But at the same time, she couldn't help but feel a hint of selfishness:

If he accepts his companions as disciples...will there be more opportunities to meet him in the future?

Of course, Linn didn't know all the little thoughts in Holly's mind, so he was relieved when the deal with Elena was reached.

At the same time, I sighed slightly in my heart.

It turns out to be more troublesome than imagined.
