It's so hard being a hero!

"Alright, enough laughing, let's talk about something else."

Sophia waved her hand, signaling her to tone it down.

"I know what you're thinking, but I hope you understand one thing."

"Whether your guess is right or wrong, I hope you don't tell anyone about this, including your mother."

Upon hearing this, Evelyn's smile faded slightly, but it didn't disappear completely.

She tilted her head and looked at Sophia for a few seconds, then nodded.

"Okay, I promise you, I won't tell anyone, not even Mother."

Looking at her serious face, Sophia suddenly didn't know what to say.

As for our relationship...

Sophia lowered her head and thought for a moment, considering how to view their relationship.

"To be honest, I don't know how to deal with this either. How about we just maintain the status quo for now? You're a pharmacy teacher at the academy now, and I'm a student. Let's just pretend nothing happened, okay?"

Evelyn nodded obediently.

"Okay, whatever you say."

Evelyn's attitude towards Sophia changed drastically all of a sudden.

Sophia rubbed her forehead; today had been incredibly exciting.

And her troubles have only just begun.

She didn't believe Frey would just let it go like that.

Meanwhile, at the other end of the academy, Frey and Vic were walking near the academy gate.

Frey has removed her disguise and returned to her original appearance.

Her complexion was still not good, but she didn't say anything more.

Vic followed behind her, his expression still smug, but surprisingly he didn't say anything to provoke her.

Chapter 93 Two Enemies Make a Show

Frey remained silent the entire way.

But the resentment emanating from him was almost tangible, and even Vic, who was usually very talkative, dared not utter a word.

He knew that what happened today must have been a huge shock to Frey.

But Frey isn't an unreasonable person; she's just a little uncomfortable.

After all, Su Lan did die back then, and with a lustful evil god like Lilith, what wouldn't she do?

However, there's a saying that understanding is one thing, but being able to accept it is another.

Most importantly, how should they handle Evelyn's situation?

In any case, Vic didn't have a good solution, and neither did Frey.

The two remained silent as they passed through the barrier surrounding the academy and arrived outside.

Vic was wondering whether to say "The weather is nice today" to break the ice, but before he could open his mouth, a teasing female voice came from beside them.

"Oh ho? Isn't this our Duchess and the legendary Holy Swordsman? Why are they using disguise magic and sneaking around to Tianxing Academy?"

The two of them immediately frowned and looked in a certain direction.

Not far away, under a tree, stood a tall woman in blue clothes with blue hair.

She wore a light blue fishtail dress, and her temperament looked gentle and graceful.

She crossed her arms, looking like she was about to interrogate someone.

"Oh? Isn't this Roland? It's been so long! You've become more and more beautiful."

Vic's eyes darted around, and he immediately forced a smile and walked over, speaking as if he were seeing a close sister.

That's right, this woman is Roland, the current dean of Tianxing Academy and a Saint Realm magician.

He was also an old acquaintance of Frey and Vic.

Of course, to be precise, he is Frey's arch-rival.

They were all students in the same year at Imperial Academy.

At that time, Frey majored in fire magic and Roland majored in water magic. The idiom "water and fire are incompatible" was practically tailor-made for the two of them.

Adding to that the messy affair between Roland and Su Lan later on, the feud between the two lasted a lifetime.

"Get out of here, stop changing the subject."

Roland rolled her eyes, completely unmoved by Vic's words, and her gaze fell directly on Frey.

"Speak, what are you two Saint Realm experts up to, sneaking into my academy like this?"

Her tone clearly conveyed displeasure.

Tianxing Academy is covered by a demigod-level barrier, and anyone who enters or leaves will be detected.

Although the two hid it well, Roland still noticed, but he didn't expose them on the spot. Instead, he waited until they came out before revealing himself.

This is already considered giving them face because we were classmates before.

However, her timing was very unfortunate; Frey was already seething with anger and had nowhere to vent it.

Upon hearing this, she looked at Roland with a cold gaze.

"You want to know?"

Frey took two steps forward and stood in front of Roland, arms crossed, her tone full of provocation.

"You come to my territory and act wildly. Do you think I wouldn't dare to find out?"

Roland retorted without mincing words.

Frey chuckled.

"Alright, beat me. If you beat me, I'll tell you why we came to the academy, how about it?"

Roland's eyes narrowed slightly upon hearing this.

Their eyes met instantly, radiating an electric light.

"Okay."

Roland chuckled.

"It's been a few years since I've fought anyone. I'd like to see if someone's skills have declined since becoming a duchess."

Upon hearing this, Frey raised her hand and slashed sharply in front of her.

A dark blue spatial rift tore open in front of her.

"In that case, let's have a battle in the dimensional space."

After saying that, she crossed her arms and walked inside.

Roland snorted and followed him inside.

Vic stood there, watching the spatial rift slowly closing, and sighed heavily.

"Hey! These two old women are almost a hundred years old combined, how come they're still the same as they were back then? This is going to be interesting."

He shook his head and followed them inside.

Upon entering, they found themselves in a colorful, empty space.

The dimensional space is a void area independent of the main world, with no sky or earth, only chaotic energy.

Frey and Roland floated in space, facing each other.

Frey was engulfed in golden-red flames, like a small sun.

Roland, on the other hand, was enveloped in a deep blue curtain of water, with the sea seemingly surging behind him.

After staring at each other for a moment, the two attacked simultaneously.

Frey raised her right hand, and a golden ball of light the size of a fist condensed in her palm.

The ball of light grew larger and brighter until it expanded into a giant fireball. The energy emitted by this fireball caused the temperature of the entire dimensional space to rise rapidly.

Forbidden Spell: Heart of the Sun.

This is one of Frey's signature moves, a high-level forbidden spell that ranks among the top three in fire magic.

Even if only a portion of its power is released, it would be enough to turn a small town into ruins.

Roland saw the "sun" hurtling towards him, but he didn't even flinch.

She raised her hand and drew a circle in front of her, and a waterfall of blue water gushed out from her feet, converging into a surging river above her head.

Then, carrying towering waves, it crashed headlong into the sun.

Forbidden spells, doomsday torrent.

The moment the two forces collided, the entire dimensional space trembled.

The elements of water and fire intertwine, resembling a giant, abstract painting of disaster.

Vic stood at a distance, watching this scene with a speechless expression on his face.

This is a deadly magic attack; they really don't hold back.

"Hey, that's enough, don't go too far."

Vic tried to break up the fight, but his voice was completely drowned out by the roar of the magical collision.

Frey just couldn't stop, maintaining the output of the Heart of the Sun while also making sarcastic remarks about Roland.

"Roland, you said you pursued Su Lan for three years, did he ever pay attention to you? You were always hanging around other people, but he always avoided you. Do you know what he said about you in private? He said you were too pretentious, and he didn't like pretentious women."

This statement is like stirring up a hornet's nest.

Roland's face immediately darkened, and his magic surged instantly, forcefully pushing Frey's Heart of the Sun back several meters.

"Me, being pretentious? And you? What are you pretending for?"
