About two minutes later, Aurelion stood stunned in a pool of blood.
She widened her eyes and looked at her trembling hands, unable to believe it.
The monster in front of her that could crush her back and forth died like this?
It was the first time I saw so much blood, killing a monster in such a cruel way.
But she didn't feel the slightest discomfort.
Instead, there was a novelty that she had never experienced before.
The extremely tense brain became relaxed, and her whole body trembled, unable to conceal her inner excitement.
readily!
Because she personally defeated a powerful enemy that she thought was completely invincible.
After repeated failures and "deaths", Aurelion was left with only one idea.
She must defeat it! Then, kill it!
It seems that only in this way can she vent her emotions of dying again and again. It seems that only in this way can she prove that she is by no means a weak vase.
Aurelion was completely relaxed. She sat on the lawn regardless of her appearance, letting the smelly blood stain her whole body.
This was her trophy, proof of her victory.
The Royal Knights stood there at a distance, putting down their weapons. Every knight's eyes were filled with shock.
What did they see?
"Her Royal Highness, who was only fifteen years old, killed a forest demon with her own hands!?"
The knights know this kind of monster very well.
This is because knights are assigned to sweep away monsters around the capital every week to prevent monsters from rapidly and continuously breeding and accumulating into a disaster.
The forest demon in front of them is the most troublesome existence for the knights. It takes at least a dozen knights to steadily control it during each sweep.
I really didn’t expect that the little-known princess would actually have such outrageous strength?
The most important thing is that she is only fifteen years old!
The female guard also rushed forward amidst everyone's shock, and quickly stepped forward to help the princess up.
"Your Highness Princess! Are you okay!?"
In fact, when she first came in and saw the monster rushing towards the princess, she was almost frightened.
I have even thought about where I will be buried in the future.
As a result, I saw a view that made me climb from the bottom of the valley to the top of the mountain in an instant.
Your Highness Aurelion actually killed that monster! ?
After following and protecting the princess for so long, she naturally knows how much the princess weighs.
Although the magic talent is indeed unparalleled in the world, it only takes one glance to learn the spells taught by the teachers.
But talent cannot represent combat effectiveness.
Everyone in the palace doesn't know that a princess who has never had any actual combat experience will still be just a vase princess in the future, even if she learns magic.
But now, Aurelion slapped them in the face.
Whose vase can win against the forest demon at the age of fifteen?
I'm afraid even Erica, who is known as the youngest genius in the capital, can't do it.
After being helped up by the guards, Aurelion shook her head and said:
"I'm fine."
She didn't expect that her guards would find her together with the knights.
A flame ignited out of thin air, and Victor slowly appeared in people's sight.
The female guard was furious when she saw Victor for the first time.
If Victor hadn't kidnapped the princess without giving any explanation, she would have thought about the moment when her head and body would be separated.
How could this not make her angry?
Victor almost killed everyone!
"Victor! You have committed a heinous crime by kidnapping the princess! How dare you take the princess to such a dangerous place! You..."
Victor was unmoved, but the princess frowned first and stopped her next words.
"Celia."
"You are so rude to my teacher."
Hearing what the princess said, the guard named Celia hesitated:
"But, princess, he..."
Before she could finish speaking, a repulsive force seemed to fall on her, forcing her to retreat uncontrollably.
As soon as Celia looked up, she saw a light shining on Victor's fingertips.
[First level magic: repulsion]
After doing all this, Victor nodded to the princess and praised:
"The last repulsion magic was well used."
Aurelion was extremely happy to receive Victor's praise.
This shows that her efforts were not in vain.
A ray of light fell, rolled over the princess's clothes, and cleaned the blood stains on her clothes.
The corpse materials on the ground were also collected by Victor.
However, Victor left the body in place. After all, it was Aurelion's trophy.
He looked at the [Devil's Heart] he had just picked up, and then looked back at Aurelion.
Although it is a trophy of his own students, but...
Victor put the [Devil's Heart] in his backpack and looked at Aurelion again.
"Then, today's class is over. You can have a day off tomorrow."
As he spoke, he nodded to Gwen who was coming from a distance, and a blue formation rose up under his feet, turning into little bits of light and dissipating.
Gwen watched Victor leave and reached out to greet the knights.
"Temporarily block the Milut Trail! No one is allowed to enter or leave!"
…
The princess finally returned to the palace safely surrounded by guards, taking her trophy, a "forest demon" with her.
Emperor Aubrey was very happy and clamored to give Aurelion a reward in front of everyone.
Soon, the news of Aurelion's single-handed killing of the forest demon spread throughout every noble circle in the royal capital.
Some nobles believed that this was a signal from the royal family that this little-known princess would finally appear as a "genius" with the royal family's support.
This was used to increase the royal family’s control.
Some of the remaining nobles became interested in Victor's teachings.
After the royal announcement, everyone knew that Victor became the princess's personal tutor.
But today's lesson shocked them.
It was actually Victor's course to ask students to kill a "Forest Demon".
What on earth was Victor thinking?
…
Erica has been very distressed recently. Ever since she suddenly overloaded her brain and said the words "become a disciple" after seeing the professor yesterday, she has been thinking about how to convince her father, Duke Levi.
As Victor said, he is his father's only heir, how could he allow her to continue doing something dangerous?
But when she thought of what Aurelion had said at the dinner, she felt a little uncomfortable.
"Do you want to steal my teacher?"
"I won't let you succeed."
Erica shook her head quickly, trying to get rid of the unpleasant thoughts in her mind.
There was the sound of the door opening and the voice of a servant.
"Your Majesty the Duke."
It's my father who's back.
After hearing Duke Levi's voice, Erica pushed the door open and went out, only to see Duke Levi's face looking a little gloomy.
Erica suppressed the words she had just prepared.
After all, my father is in a bad mood now, and I really shouldn't talk to him about other things at this time.
But didn’t my father go to the palace? Was he offended by someone while he was in the palace?
Erica asked doubtfully:
"Father, what's wrong with you?"
"This is so inappropriate."
Duke Levi glanced at Erica, sighed, and said:
"Victor served as the teacher of Her Royal Highness the Princess, but he released a large-scale teleportation magic in the palace and took the princess out of the palace."
"When the Royal Knights discovered Her Royal Highness, the Princess was facing a forest demon."
Erica covered her mouth, extremely surprised.
Erica, who is well-informed, has naturally heard of the Forest Demon.
This monster seems to be a lord-level monster that appears in the dense forest. It is violent, ferocious and difficult to kill.
Logically speaking, this kind of monster is hunted down by the knights, or killed by some passing adventurers.
The dead bodies can also be taken to the royal capital to receive rewards.
Princess... why would she face that kind of thing alone?
The result shocked Erica even more later, when Duke Levi continued:
"Even if she defeated the monster, it really shouldn't be allowed for the princess to take such risks!"
There was some anger in Duke Levi's voice, and this anger was naturally directed at Victor's "bold teaching."
The princess is His Majesty's daughter, and His Majesty loves her very much.
If something really happened because of Victor, how could Victor still gain a foothold in the empire?
Everything he has accumulated will collapse in an instant.
Does he really not understand this?
The Duke did not notice that Erica took a few steps back in shock when she heard this.
What? Your Highness, you actually defeated that kind of monster! ?
alone? one person?
She suddenly thought of what the princess had said.
Surpass her and become a more genius than her.
Right now, what Aurelion had done was deeply imprinted in her heart.
"……genius?"
Duke Levi was stunned for a moment and looked at his daughter.
For some reason, Erica lowered her head at this moment, making it difficult for people to see her appearance clearly.
"Erica? Honey, what's wrong with you?"
"No...it's nothing."
Erica sighed slightly.
Now, she suddenly figured out something.
Following Victor didn't seem to create any substantial gap between her and the princess.
On the contrary, the distance between the princess and her will become shorter and shorter.
What's more...
Since she has long understood that her father is destined not to agree, why should she continue to make trouble unreasonably.
'Erica, it's time for you to grow up. '
She said to herself.
So, Erica took a deep breath and made a request to Duke Levi:
"Father, there will be two months of vacation during the college's enrollment period. I think..."
Duke Levi looked at his daughter and saw that her eyes were firm, but there was a different kind of confidence in her eyes.
"I want to practice in your army of magicians for a while."
Duke Levi looked at his daughter blankly.
"The boring magic learning is destined to not make me improve much, so I need an opportunity to practice."
"And the Mage Legion belongs to you, I won't make it difficult for you."
In the two-way choice between longing and sensibleness, Erica chose the latter.
It’s not that my admiration for Victor has diminished.
On the contrary, the closer you get to Victor, the more you can feel the charm of his personality under his cold side.
She found that she was wrong before.
If you try to catch up with someone, you have to worship him as your teacher. In that case, the gap between the two is destined to only get wider and wider.
Erica wanted to shine, to impress everyone.
It's a pity that Victor's light was too bright, everyone he illuminated closed their eyes, and everyone he illuminated looked so dim.
It almost made her forget.
The strongest genius under the age of twenty in the royal capital.
It can only be her.
Duke Levi's deep eyes flashed with relief, and he spoke slowly.
"I have an old friend far away in the north of the empire. He is a powerful magician."
"If you can endure the severe cold in the north, then, after a while, follow my army of magicians to practice there for a while."
