I rely on myself

Chapter 7 Eyes
Opening his eyes and looking at the unfamiliar ceiling in front of him, Lin Yuan was a little confused for a moment.

"Where am I?"

But he soon came to his senses and remembered the battle with Xijing Ningyin last night.

"It's really embarrassing. Now that I think about it, I really didn't know how high the sky is and how deep the earth is. I couldn't wait to challenge those who stood at the top of the world after making a little progress. Fortunately, the other party had a good temper, otherwise I would have been Barbie Q this time."

Thinking back to last night, he tried his best but could only barely keep up with the opponent's movements, and his final full-strength attack was easily blocked by the opponent.

All these undoubtedly made Lin Yuan doubt the point of his hard training over the years, but soon Lin Yuan got rid of these negative emotions with his mature thinking.

"Don't think too much. Since you've already lost, just keep working hard to improve yourself."

"Also, I saw my own limits through this."

Lin Yuan concentrated his mind, and after a few minutes, he once again saw the vague "fate" that was entangled with him.

"I can only barely see it now. I'm still a long way from it. Don't worry about it for now. I need to continue to improve my strength. One day I will break free."

After treatment at the academy and a night's rest, Lin Yuan's body had fully recovered, so he left the infirmary on his own and went back to prepare for class.

······
"This is the process of the battle last night. What do you think, Xiao Hei? Just like I said, this kid is not bad." Xijing Ningyin said with a smile while sitting at the desk.

After listening to Xijing Ningyin's description of the battle last night, Shinguji Kurono had to admit that Lin Yuan's strength was far beyond that of a student. Even compared with those magic knights who had been in office for many years, he was not inferior, except for his lack of practical experience. However, this was normal. After all, it would be strange for a student who had been practicing in a low-key manner for many years to have rich practical experience.

"As the chairman of this academy, I am of course very happy to have such a talent. However, judging from his past experiences, this kid probably doesn't like to be in the limelight, let alone participate in the trials. If he hadn't encountered a situation like last night, I'm afraid he would still keep a low profile as before." Shinguji Kurono said distressedly.

As the newly appointed chairman of Pojun Academy this year, Shinguji Kurono dismissed a large number of incompetent people as soon as he took office. He also changed the original test method that determined grades based on magic power assessment to one that determined grades based on actual combat.

All of this is to restore the performance of Pojun Academy. In recent years, the performance of Pojun Academy has been very unsatisfactory, so Shinguji Kurono made so many big moves as soon as she came to the stage.

Now he knows that a student in his academy has great ability, but does not want to participate in the selection competition because he wants to keep a low profile. This is of course a headache for Shinguji Kurono, who is determined to restore the performance of Pojun Academy.

After all, you can't force the other party to participate. Even if you can do so, Shinguji Kurono can't get over the hurdle in her heart.

Seeing his best friend having a headache, Xijing Ningyin not only had no intention of comforting him, but found it very interesting and even took a bottle of sake to drink.

Seeing Xijing Ningyin's happy look, Shinguji Kurono shouted angrily: "You guy, I invited you here to be a teacher, not to drink, can't you help me think of a solution?"

Looking at the appearance of Shinguji Kurono, Xijing Ningyin knew that he could not continue to provoke the other party, otherwise the other party might get angry and make him suffer.

"Okay, Xiao Hei, you don't have to worry too much."

Shinguji Kurono frowned when he heard this and asked in confusion, "What do you mean?"

Xijing Ningyin did not answer immediately, but took another sip of sake, looked at Shinguji Kurono's impatient expression, and then said slowly: "Although I don't know why that guy has been so low-key before, but I didn't see his eyes wrong."

"Eye?"

"Yes, I was definitely not mistaken about the look in his eyes. That was the look of a true knight."

"That's the look of someone looking at the top, eager to catch up, or even surpass." Saikyou Nin looked at Shinguji Kurono and continued, "It's the same look we had when we were students."

After hearing this, Shinguji Kurono couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, but she quickly came to her senses, lit a cigarette, took a deep puff, and then slowly exhaled.

"That would be perfect."

As she spoke, Shinguji Kurono also revealed an excited smile.

······
On the other side, Lin Yuan returned to his dormitory. After finding an excuse to deal with his roommates, he left the dormitory and walked towards the classroom.

Walking on the road, Lin Yuan couldn't help but think back to the battle last night. No, it would be more accurate to say that it was Xijing Ningyin's unilateral teasing of Lin Yuan.

Because the situation was urgent at the time, Lin Yuan did not have too many thoughts, but looking back now, Lin Yuan feels that the fighting method he adopted at that time was very problematic. For example, he knew clearly that the opponent's ability was a natural interference system that manipulated gravity.

But he insisted on fighting in close combat with the opponent, and it was because the opponent was holding back, otherwise, the opponent would have been enough to cause him a lot of trouble just by increasing the gravity around himself.

Now that I think about it, I should have kept a distance from the opponent and relied on long-range attacks like Vacuum Slash to fight. That would have been the best strategy. Even if there was a high possibility of losing in the end, it wouldn't have been too bad.

It can be said that throughout the entire battle last night, except for the final strategy, Lin Yuan's performance in other areas was very unsatisfactory.

"It seems that the problem of practicing alone for so many years has come up. After all, I haven't fought with others much, and even if I did, I never used my full strength. As a result, I am now better than the weaker ones, but not as good as the stronger ones. It's difficult to deal with."

When Lin Yuan was wondering in distress what method he could use to solve his problem, a gentle voice suddenly came from behind him.

"Lin Yuan, is that you?"

Lin Yuan woke up from his thoughts when he heard someone calling him and turned to look in the direction where the voice came from.

The person who came was Ikki Kurogane, whom I just met yesterday, and there was a girl of similar age next to him.

This girl has a very plump body, especially her bust, which makes people wonder if this is really the size a girl of this age should have?
The most eye-catching thing is the other person's long hair as fiery red as red lotus, coupled with the other person's red eyes that are like burning flames, it is like the goddess of fire from heaven descended to the earth.

This girl is none other than the rare genius knight seen once in ten years, the sword cutter 'Stella Famillion' who possesses the most powerful magic in history.

Looking at the two of them going to school together, Lin Yuan couldn't help but smile teasingly.

"Sure, Ikki. I didn't expect that you, who looks so dull, could become friends with the princess so quickly. I'm optimistic about you."

After hearing what Lin Yuan said, Yihui was immediately speechless: "Will you die if you don't tease me? You know everything but you are pretending to be confused."

Although the two had only known each other for a short time, they had a very good compatibility, so Yihui saw through Lin Yuan's character in this brief exchange.

The other person is the type who is silent in front of strangers but very talkative in front of familiar people.

So Yihui was not affected at all by Lin Yuan's teasing.
