Is this really just an RPG? !

Can you say that it really deserves to be Elizabeth Day?

As long as you walk on the street, you can see couples walking together everywhere. Originally, the procedures for passing between male and female campuses are very troublesome. Generally speaking, you will choose some public areas when you make an appointment to meet. But in fact, it seems that because of special festivals, I can see female students passing by even when I walk in the dormitory area.

There is also a strange group hiding in the corner shouting "for the organization" and then starting to release fire magic at will.

It turned out that because it was a special holiday, there was no ban on using magic in the dormitory area.

In this case, it would be better for me not to rush to the library by walking, because I really don't think the gate of the dormitory area seems to be able to go out.

God knows what this group of people are doing there.

"Fortunately, I have the habit of leaving coordinates everywhere."

I looked at the screen on the right and said to myself.

As a brave man, my combat power can be said to be completely inconsistent with the profession of a brave man. In the entrance examination, I was also given an evaluation like "I have a huge amount of mana, but I can't use any mana". As miserable as it gets.

Touching tears.

"The location is 'library'...it's really troublesome without Qiuqiu's help."

I complained again.

Teleportation is a very useful skill, the only requirement is that the user has sufficient magic power and has a coordinate, but in order to ensure that there will be no accidents, it takes a lot of energy to calculate before teleportation... Actually, I don't know exactly where What to calculate, I simply have to do it, and I will feel very tired in the process, and my brain is filled with numbers. Although my partner Qiuqiu only has the ability to contact the endless library, and is a scumbag at other times, her calculation ability is quite good.

Without Qiuqiu by my side, I can only calculate by myself, which is really not used to.

"The lock is successful, and the transmission begins."

A magic circle emitting white light appeared under the feet, and the surrounding environment began to distort.

After a while, I heard a "biu", and then I arrived at the library.

It took less than five minutes in total, so I think teleportation is a very easy and convenient function.

Of course, the premise is to ignore the fact that I teleported to the bookshelf in a sitting posture.

"Neil, that... Your appearance was full of surprises as usual, but it was much better than last time. The last time you appeared directly in the wine barrel."

"Please don't mention this matter, Your Highness Lilith."

What's even more embarrassing is that under me is Lilith who is picking out books. She just happened to look up for a book and saw me sitting on the bookshelf. Since a similar thing happened not long ago, Lilith was only briefly surprised, and then put on a soft and calm smile.

"Okay, okay, don't be angry, Neil."

"I'm not angry, please step back, Your Highness, so I can jump off easily."

"Hmm... Neil, do you need me to catch you?"

"Your Highness, can you put your concern elsewhere?"

Being told by a girl, "Don't worry, jump down and I will catch you", is indeed a rare treatment in life.

But if possible, I hope that I will never encounter this kind of treatment in my life.

Although sitting on a high place can see a better view, most of the time I prefer the feeling of stepping on the ground, which makes me feel safe. After moving my body a little, I greeted Qiuqiu who was lying on Lilith's shoulder, but unfortunately, I didn't get a response, she seemed to be sleeping.

Judging from her slightly distended stomach, she probably just had a full meal, so she was feeling sleepy.

Even though it's only 9am.

"anything?"

"Let's find a place to sit down and talk."

"okay."

I followed Lilith to a place near the window and sat down.

There were still two glasses of fruit wine with ice cubes on the table, both of which hadn't been touched. It should have been prepared by Lilith in advance. Shouldn't she like drinking black tea? Black tea with sweets is almost her signature eating habit, and she can still be seen drinking fruit wine.

"It's nothing strange. You have to know that the most important thing in the royal family is entertainment. If you don't have a good drinker, you can't have a normal political conversation."

"You started training early?"

"It probably started when I was ten years old."

Lilith said so, holding the glass and staring at the ice cubes inside, as if trying to see something from it.

But from her description, it seems that being born in the royal family is not a lucky thing.

Fortunately, I am just an ordinary hero.

"So, what do you want me to do?"

"Today is Elizabeth's Day. Even if you don't know about this Neil, you should know what kind of festival it is on the way here."

"My dear roommate woke me up in a very rude way about this issue, so I'm impressed."

"Well... I'll give you some wax."

Lilith suddenly lowered her head, showing a sad expression.

"A little bit of wax?"

"Don't worry about it, it's just my habit, to put it bluntly, I sympathize with you."

"..."

Is it my illusion, I haven't seen it for a few months, and I can't keep up with the thinking of the princess in front of me.

Or maybe you haven't kept up with it from the beginning?

"Back to the beginning." Lilith put down the glass, raised her right hand to signal me to listen to her carefully, and then fell silent for a moment, as if she was sorting out her thoughts. She didn't speak again until I was about to drink fruit wine, "Neil, I need A person, pretending to be my date during this time."

"puff!"

The words containing too much information dealt a heavy blow to my three views without warning.

Unable to control his body, he just sprayed out all the fruit wine that he hadn't had time to swallow.

"Neil, I think you should be more reserved with a lady."

"Blame me?!"

"To be reasonable, it was you, Neil, who sprayed me all over, why can't you be blamed?"

"If that's the case, why do you have to say it when I'm drinking!"

"Because I want to see how you will react," Lilith smiled contentedly after wiping her face clean, "It's an expected reaction, but it's interesting...Of course! If you can hold back a little and spray in a different direction , would make me more satisfied.”

"Your Highness, you are really too much."

"I'm really sorry, Cleanse!"

Lilith was sitting and looking at me after cleaning off the stains on her body with magic.

——Convenience magic, I have always wanted to learn it, but as a hero, I couldn't learn it, it was a tragedy in the world.

——Could it be that the heroes of all ages are like this? Or is it just me?

# Feel sorry for the profession of brave for a second #

"Just like I said before," Lilith interlaced her fingers and put her hands on the table, "Neil, can you consider pretending to be my date these few days?"

I really wanted to answer directly, "Are you kidding me?" However, after repeatedly confirming Lilith's expression, I gave up this plan, because she was telling the truth. For some reason, she needs someone to pretend to be her date, and I, who came to this academy with her, became the best choice.

reasonable.

However, what is the reason?

If you get crazy confessions just because of "Elizabeth Day", just reject them all.

"Actually, it's not as simple as you imagined, Neil."

Lilith seemed to be smiling wryly.

It's hard to see, I didn't react for a while.

"It's not as simple as I thought... because of identity?"

I simply thought about a few possibilities, and the only thing that this wayward princess can care about is her identity!

"Just as you imagined, when I entered school, I reported my status as 'Princess of the Alexander Empire', and there are many people with similar status to me in this school, and... political marriage is a very common thing , People in the royal family have been mentally prepared almost from an early age, and the words "dedicate everything for the country" are not just lip service."

So this is ah.

The envied upper class has too many restrictions.

I was suddenly glad that I was just an ordinary brave man.

"It's really hard work."

"Actually, I'm pretty good," Lilith shook her head to sweep away the previous haze, and then returned to her usual smile, "My father took good care of me, probably because I was his only child, and he treated me very well. My marriage is actually a laissez-faire attitude, as long as I can 'reasonably deal with dissatisfied suitors'."

"His Royal Highness is really considerate."

"So I can't cause too much trouble to my father."

After Lilith finished speaking, she picked up the glass, sipped the fruit wine, and turned her head to look out of the window.

Even the naughty princess who is reckless enough to turn the devil's palace upside down will restrain herself when considering her own country. The gap between the front and the back is so huge that it can almost be said that they are two completely different people... But it is these two completely different sides that make up the real Lilith!

I don't dislike her style.

After all, regardless of identity, she and I are pretty good friends.

Can also be said to be a travel partner?

"I don't seem to have a reason to refuse."

"No, no, actually, Neil, if you find it troublesome..."

"It's not troublesome, but, Lilith, what do you need me to do?"

I forcibly brought the topic over.

Lilith was stunned for a moment, then quickly came back to her senses with a slightly apologetic smile.

"Even a noble princess can marry an ordinary commoner, as long as that commoner has the ability to be recognized by everyone."

"That's... ok, I see."

As Lilith, the most common ones are the princes of various countries, the heirs of a certain minister, and so on. These famous people will probably choose something to fight fairly when they compete. Suppose I become Lily If Si's dating partner, then you will encounter a lot of people's challenges!

Suddenly I really want to regret what to do.

"Well, Lilith, there is one more thing I need to confirm with you."

"Please say."

"If someone really challenges me to a duel, will I be held accountable if I win?"

I spoke cautiously.

For some reason, I suddenly care about this kind of thing.

"No, no matter what, they are people with status, because if you hold grudges about this kind of thing, you will be laughed at, and your reputation will directly decline."

"That's good……"

I breathed a sigh of relief, sighed while patting my chest, and picked up the glass to drink some fruit wine to calm my shock.

"Oh, the possibility of black hands cannot be ruled out."

"puff!"

This man definitely did it on purpose!

I tried my best to make my expression look angry, but the princess sitting opposite me used the cleaning magic on herself as before, and looked at it with a kind smile after everything was cleaned up. with me.

It was as if seeing the scene he expected.

"Mr. Brave is not a gentleman at all."

"His Royal Highness is completely black from inside to outside."

"For each other, I think the two of us are very suitable."

"Let me tell you, if there is nothing else, can I go back to the dormitory first, even if there is a noisy red hair there, it is better than your shiny black golden hair."

"I think...you don't seem to have that chance?"

"What?"

I froze for a moment, then looked in the direction Lilith pointed.

Just at the entrance of the library, stood a young man. The most conspicuous place is probably the long sword worn around the waist, and the green hair that stands up all over the head - the former is because the scabbard is inlaid with too many precious stones, it looks very expensive; the latter is because of the A pinch of hair is too much like an onion.

——Green food that is absolutely pollution-free and harmless, now only sells for 998, and you can take this green onion home with only 998! Whether it is steamed, boiled or braised in oil, the taste is first-class!

…………

I'd better calm down.

Tucao is Tucao, the important thing now is that this person just walked in front of me.

It stands to reason that this is the first time I met him, so there shouldn't be any festivals, but thinking of Lilith's gesture before, I immediately understood what was going on.

"Your Highness Lilith, is he your candidate?"

"As you can see, Mr. Nicholas, this is my fiancé, Neil Franks Noyce."

Lily completely ignored my attitude and just stood up and talked to Onion...ah bah, I mean to talk to Nicholas.

Still holding an attitude of "he is my fiancé, let me introduce him to you".

They obviously hated each other before, but now they become very much in love with each other every minute!

"That's it, if that's the case, then Mr. Noyce," Nicholas hesitated for a moment when he mentioned my surname, probably thinking about what family I came from, and paused for a while before continuing, "My My name is Nicholas Moore, you can call me Nicholas, please allow me to challenge you to a duel, I want to know what kind of strength I need to stand beside His Highness."

After hearing what Nicholas said, I turned to look at Lilith.

However, Lilith lowered her head shamelessly, pretending to be a little daughter-in-law.

I know very well that her clean and neat movements are nothing more than telling me a word - beat this guy out for my concubine.

…………

Am I overthinking it?

"Mr Noyce?"

"I understand, I accept your duel."

That answer should be fine!

In fact, I don't really understand what a duel between nobles is like.

"Then, see you in Sword Training Room A in an hour. I look forward to having a glorious sword duel with you."

"...?!"

# What the Fu @k? #

Why a swordsmanship duel!

Can't you see that I'm just an ordinary spellcaster!

"Neil," Lilith patted my shoulder after Nicholas left the library, she tried hard to make a sad expression, but the corners of her mouth couldn't help but raise, "Who told you to carry a dagger with you, so He was mistaken for someone who knew swordsmanship."

"..."

Excuse me? !

Because you have a dagger, do you think you know swordsmanship?

I slapped my forehead and sat down on the chair with a headache.

"So what should we do?"

"Since you agreed, you can't break the appointment, unless you plan to spend the whole time in the dormitory for the next period of time."

Because of the ruined reputation, right?

Why do I have to take on such a troublesome task!

"Don't you want a solution?"

Lilith sat back across from me, looking like she had nothing to do with her.

"Let me ask, what will happen if I lose?"

I raised my head and tried to ask Lilith.

"I will choose to kill you."

Lilith made a gesture of wiping her neck with her right hand very seriously.

[image]

"Shouldn't it be in line with the script to say 'it's okay, you did your best' at this time!"

"If it fits into this kind of script, then the point of 'being married away' doesn't fit into my script!"

"call……"

I closed my eyes, leaned back against the chair and looked up at the ceiling.

To be honest, even arguing is useless now.

"I think, I need to call for foreign aid."

Something flashed through my mind suddenly, I opened my eyes and said this to Lilith.

Although she didn't say a word, as if she wasn't paying attention to me, I knew she should agree with my decision.

The next thing is... I need to seek help from a senior who beat me hard in the semester test.

"Come on, accompany me to the Antiquities Exhibition Hall."

Because that person will most likely be in this kind of place.

Emily Thomas.

※ ※ ※ ※

The first duel with others in life, what a commemorative event!

It's a pity that the reason for the duel came from a certain blonde with natural black hair.

Even when I went to the ring and took out the short sword to confront my opponent, I still didn't forget the last words Lilith left for me. With a deep voice, he whispered tender words in my ear, which made me restless and completely unable to concentrate on the target in front of me.

What she said was—

If you lose, I'll give you two doses of poison, one for you to take, and one for that Mr. Knight.

…………

Throwing away the two styles of lively girls and calm princesses, there is a new setting of vicious and cunning witches?

If you think about it carefully, there seems to be no problem.

——Standing opposite me was Nicholas Moore, the heir of a minister of a certain kingdom, who obtained the title of "Knight" by virtue of his own strength at a young age.

The above introduction comes from Lilith.

But I always feel that there seems to be something wrong with her words, or is she implying something to me?

[Wait, generally speaking, knights are titles, and knights are regarded as titles... only one country is right! 】

Forget it, it's better to think about it after the duel is over.

Although the scabbard of his sword is so fancy that it doesn't look like a weapon, but more like a collectible, but judging from the cocoons on his palm and the way he draws the sword, he should be a person who often practices swordsmanship. In addition, when he was holding the sword, he would shake it a few times from time to time, as if he was adjusting the posture of grasping the hilt.

That is to say, he has used the sword for a long time so that he has accumulated a sense of touch, and now he is using a sword that he has never used before.

Considering how I was dressed when I mentioned the duel, this sword is more likely to be a ritual sword!

I took a deep breath and tried to calm myself down.

I'm not completely ignorant of swords, as my roommates are pretty good at using weapons and melee combat, so I occasionally learn from them... well, simple defensive tactics.

…………

Having said so much, I am nothing more than confirming a fact.

[This duel is basically lost. 】

If nothing else.

I bit my lip and held the dagger tightly with both hands to prevent the opponent from being thrown away when the weapon collided.

"You attack first."

Nicholas said so.

He stood sideways, with his left hand behind his back, and his right hand holding a long sword and pointing obliquely at the ground. His posture was quite standard, and it could almost be written in a textbook. I don't understand why you have to stand like this in a duel, and I don't understand the specific difference between attacking first and attacking second... At least in a magic duel, the person who strikes first does not necessarily have an advantage, unless he can kill with one blow.

However, in this world where any spellcaster can be pulled out with a strange shield, it is really difficult to use magic to achieve a one-hit bombardment.

Swordsmanship is another matter.

[Want to strike first? 】

I thought about it in my heart, but before I had time to think about it, my body started to act.

The left hand is protecting the chest, while the right hand is holding the dagger and swinging it horizontally. The simple and rough attack method ended up being easily blocked by Nicholas with his long sword, and judging from the strength of the shock, my strength is much weaker than his. If he attacks with all his strength, I will count as a successful block. The weapon in the hand will also fly out because of the inability to grasp it.

In a duel of swordsmanship, the landing of the weapon also represents the failure of one side.

【The weakness of avoiding power...】

Staring at the two swords colliding together, I began to think about how to break the situation in front of me.

Because it is in the training room, if the person participating in the training encounters a dangerous state, the energy stored in the training room will be released immediately, applying a magical barrier to the target. Because of this, you can safely attack the opponent's vital points during a duel, so the winning conditions of a swordsmanship duel naturally become: 1. The weapon hits the ground when it leaves the hand and it is considered a failure; 2. A fatal attack with a magic barrier on the body is considered a failure.

Pretty simple rules.

If you want to defeat Nicholas, you can only choose one of them... Oh! I don't want to think about the second one. Before I attack his vitals, I will probably be sent out first. So, my only option was to find a way to get his weapon out of his hand and onto the ground.

Unfortunately, with my strength, it is not easy to do this.

I wanted to turn the blade to bounce the opponent's long sword away, but when I did so, the opponent had already retracted the long sword and retreated a certain distance.

The intention is too obvious, it can be seen through at a glance.

"Ho!"

This time it was Nicholas' turn to attack.

He raised his long sword and stabbed directly at my neck, but the speed was not too fast, and the strength was only average, which was easily blocked by my short sword. But he didn't stop, the flimsy long sword with a gorgeous appearance was not very suitable for chopping, so it became a weapon similar to a spear in his hands.

It was a stab from start to finish.

And the targets are all key parts.

From the open neck, then the eyes, forehead, heart, abdomen, and joints of the limbs.

[It's annoying! 】

Holding a short sword, I had to make a lot of movement to block one of his attacks, while Nicholas, who was using a long sword, only had to withdraw his sword and stab again, which was a brand new attack. It looks like a mechanical action, but I really can't fight back.

And this guy's attack speed is getting faster and faster.

After blocking the attack again, I stepped back for a distance, then held the short sword with both hands, and made a short-distance sprint towards Nicholas, while making an upward movement. Nicholas held the long sword horizontally in front of him without even thinking, because he confirmed that my strength is not that great, and even with the blessing of sprinting, it is unlikely that the sword in his hand will be easily knocked into the air.

But ah.

Anyway, that sword didn't look like a solid thing.

During the previous confrontation, he was very careful not to expose the weak point of the sword.

Since he couldn't let go of his sword, he could also interrupt it.

"Comet lunge! [Comet Direct Strike]"

With a "clang", the long sword in Nicholas' hand was completely broken.

He was stunned for a moment, and quickly reacted, throwing the broken long sword aside.

"So that's why I saw through the weakness of my weapon... Although it was said that I chose an unsuitable weapon, the reason for the final failure was my own wrong decision. Congratulations, you won."

"Oh, thank you, thank you."

Too bland, as expected.

I'm a bit overwhelmed.

But Nicholas just ignored my appearance, jumped off the ring, and walked to Lilith's side.

"It seems that the person you chose is very good."

"nature."

"Then the task is over, and I should go back."

"Remember to take me to say hello to your father when you are free."

"I will."

The two don't seem to have any major conflicts, but they should have a good relationship. After Nicholas and Lilith greeted each other, they didn't stop, and left the sword training room directly. Maybe they were planning to go somewhere? I looked at Lilith with some confusion, just in time to see her covering her mouth and smiling.

"Thanks for your hard work, Neil. All in all, I will feel much more at ease in the next period of time."

"...Is it my illusion that you made an appointment with that onion?"

"Pfft! That onion, that's a pretty good description."

"Your Highness?"

"Yes, yes, because you basically don't choose magic duels in duels, so naturally you have to choose a more suitable person to challenge you."

In other words, the whole scene is a drama, and I am the only one who is out of the situation?

"If you want to deceive others, you must first deceive yourself," Lilith said, walking to me, she seemed to be curious about the dagger in my hand, and kept staring, "Although it is presumptuous, Neil, this dagger Where did you get the short sword?"

"Don't ask if you feel presumptuous!"

I complained helplessly, then put the dagger into the scabbard and handed it directly to Lilith.

"I got it from a small village in the Alexander Empire. The person who gave it to me was a blacksmith. It is said that it is a treasure inherited from his family."

After I finished speaking, I ignored Lilith, who was staring at the short sword wondering what she was thinking, and turned around and sat on the ground shaking her right hand. That blow only broke Nicholas' long sword, and did not cause any substantial harm to him. On the contrary, my right hand is still a little sore because of my simple and rough use of magic power.

Comet lunge [comet hits directly].

The spell invented by Emily Thomas is to inject magic power into the weapon, increase its destructive power and weight, and carry out physical attacks...then the side effect of this outrageous and unreasonable spell is that it will damage the user's hand cause a burden. Even if the reason for the weight gain is magic, no matter how much weight is added, the caster can easily swing the weapon, but the burden on the user of an excessively heavy weapon will not be reduced.

The best evidence of this is that my wrist looks a little red and swollen now.

Anyway! The matter has been settled, and there is still a lot of free time today, I think I should go back to the dormitory to take a rest.

"Neil..."

"What's wrong?"

When I came back to my senses, I saw Lilith had a serious face, as if she had something very important to tell me.

She handed the dagger to my hand, and when she was about to speak, she was interrupted by a sudden notification sound.

"Warning! Warning! Attention all Christopher George students! Attention all Christopher George students! Due to special reasons, the college has recently banned students from leaving the college."

"Warning! Warning! Attention all Christopher George students! Attention all Christopher George students! Due to special reasons, the college has recently banned students from leaving the college."

"Warning! Warning! Attention all Christopher George students! Attention all Christopher George students! Due to special reasons, the college has recently banned students from leaving the college."

Faculty-wide announcements that can only be issued using the privileges of the Faculty President.

And he was warned three times at once.

what happened?

No, no, what is more important now is, what did Lilith plan to say before?

"Lilith?"

"Oh, sorry, let's talk about it next time. I have to go back and contact my father first. Maybe something really happened at George College."

"What happened..."

"Neil, didn't you notice that the warning light that flashed when the notification was made just now was red."

"alright, I got it."

The academy has three warning lights, blue, yellow and red.

In terms of risk, red is the highest.

I can probably understand why Lilith left in such a hurry, she had to go back and contact His Highness the King.

Since she has the ability to figure out a way to communicate with me, it will not be difficult to communicate with the king.

After watching Lilith leave, I didn't know what to do.

【Let's go back! 】

Such a sentence suddenly sounded in my mind.

That's right, let's go back to the dormitory first. After all, there is a senior in the senior class, maybe some useful information can be obtained from him.
