You want to make me the devil, right?

“…”

Mickey's description left Xia En speechless for a moment.

Although it was true that a knight's physical strength was far superior to that of a mage.

But it shouldn't be to the point where he could be grabbed and beaten up, right?

Moreover, in open areas, a mage of the same level usually has an advantage against a knight, as long as the knight doesn't have some strange buff like elemental immunity.

“Okay, I'll be careful.” Xia En nodded, taking it to heart.

Just right, he could test the results.

Although his visible magic was limited to beginner spells like Fireball, the mutation of the Demon King's power made his beginner Fireball nearly as powerful as advanced magic.

Dealing with a level 30 knight shouldn't be a problem.

As for the magic he kept hidden…

Fallen Fire Lv6!

Excruciating Whip Lv5!

Bewildering Illusion Lv3!

Charm Spirit Lv5!

Coupled with the crushing advantage in magic power, Xia En estimated that he should be able to barely handle units below level 40.

Just as Xia En was chatting with Mickey, two figures were watching him from afar.

“That's him?” A man in noble attire curiously sized up Xia En, asking the burly knight beside him.

“That's right, it's him!”

The knight narrowed his eyes, staring at Xia En like a wolf, “God knows how he managed to become a partner of the White Rose Merchant Guild!”

“Just a partner, it doesn't prove anything.”

The noble sneered and continued, “Besides, among those pursuing Tissia, you're not the most outstanding. Why bother going to such lengths to deal with him?”

“What do you know! Tissia and I have been friends for over a dozen years!” The knight snorted, “Do you understand the value of a friendship that lasts over a decade? Even if you're only twenty and have already obtained a baronet title, you can't shake our relationship!”

“Hehe~”

The noble remained silent, sneering coldly.

Friends for over a dozen years, having only met five or six times?

“Damn it!”

“Now, only that kid is my real enemy!”

“Oh? Is that so?” Sam sneered, glancing at Xia En again.

He didn't actually like Tissia. As for why he was pursuing her, there was another reason.

If it weren't for his earl father's strong request, how could he possibly marry a lame woman?

However, the wealth of the White Rose Merchant Guild was indeed tempting, and… that noble White Rose Mistress…

Thinking of this, a hint of killing intent flashed in Sam's eyes as he looked at Xia En.

Unlike Alan, who simply wanted to teach Xia En a lesson in order to pursue Tissia.

“What's his full name?” Sam asked Alan.

“Seems like… Xia En Kenroli? I think that's it.” Alan scratched his head and replied.

“Kenro…li? Why does that sound so familiar?”

…

After finishing his morning classes, Xia En headed towards the Saintess Monastery.

As he arrived at the Saintess Monastery, he saw a familiar figure talking to Yurisha.

“Hilly?”

Xia En revealed a hint of doubt, not understanding why she would come to the Saintess Monastery?

He immediately walked towards the two, and as he approached, Hilly noticed his presence.

She smiled, turned around, and waved to Xia En, “We meet again, classmate Xia En~”

“You came to the monastery to…”

Before Xia En could finish his question, Hilly immediately replied, “I came to buy the new holy water. I heard it's very effective~”

“Unfortunately~ It's sold out.”

“Yes~”

Yurisha said apologetically, “We won't be able to restock until tomorrow. I'm very sorry~”

“It's okay, I don't really need it that much.”

Hilly said, smiling at Xia En with narrowed eyes.

Her smile made Xia En feel a bit confused, always feeling that this person had other purposes in coming to Saint Hua Magic Academy.

“I heard~”

Hilly stepped in front of Xia En, saying with a smile, “Tomorrow is my friendly match with you? Can you let me win a little then?~ Classmate Xia En~”

“No.”

Xia En's straightforward answer made Hilly slightly stunned.

But she didn't care too much, and continued, “You're really heartless. Then I'll go all out too. I hope classmate Xia En can withstand my sword.”

“Bye bye~”

After speaking, Hilly turned and left the monastery.

“She only came for the new holy water?”

After Hilly left, Xia En immediately asked Yurisha.

“Not really~”

Yurisha shook her head and continued, “She also asked me many things, all about the holy water. I didn't tell her any information, but she doesn't seem ready to give up, and is going to pursue it to the end.”

“So she came for the holy water?”

Most ⊥ New ⊥ Small ⊥ Say ⊥ In ⊥ Six ⊥ 9 ⊥ ⊥ Book ⊥ ⊥ Bar ⊥ ⊥ First ⊥ Hair!

Xia En stroked his chin, lost in thought.

“I heard…” Yurisha pondered deeply, “The most outstanding trainee knights in the Knight Academy can enter various knight orders for internships during their student years.”

“For example, the Royal Knight Order, the Enforcement Knight Order, the Silver Knight Order.”

“And the girl just now seemed to have the internship badge of the Enforcement Knight Order hanging on her chest…”

“The Enforcement Knight Order?”

Xia En understood why Hilly wanted to investigate the holy water.

The duties of the Enforcement Knight Order are similar to those of prosecutors, and they have more power than ordinary Silver Knights.

They can even execute justice against nobles.

He was just a bit confused as to why Hilly was targeting the holy water?

Logically speaking, there shouldn't be any problems with the holy water.

It's not like Charm Candy, which has addictive ingredients.

“However, Mr. Xia En, don't worry too much.” Yurisha continued, “The holy water is not an evil object, and our monastery also has sales procedures that comply with the Dawn Empire, so no one can stop us from selling the holy water.”

“That's true.”

Xia En nodded, which was also a correct decision he had made.

Letting the Saintess Monastery act as an agent could avoid a lot of trouble.

“One prayer.”

“Okay~”

This prayer lasted for seven hours.

When Xia En woke up, it was already midnight.

“Still 9% away from leveling up to 30. It seems I won't be able to reach it before tomorrow.”

Xia En sighed softly. Although it looked like only nine percent, with the upgrade rate of condensing Demon King Crystals, he would still need to condense at least twenty Demon King Crystals.

But the magic power of the Red Dragon Power Furnace had already been used up…

“Sigh~ Let's go back first.”

Xia En took advantage of the night to return to the Magic Academy.

But as he was halfway there, two figures blocked his path.

“?”

Xia En stopped, his dark pupils sweeping across the darkness.

A young man in noble attire, and a half-orc warrior with a bare upper body.

These two…

Xia En became vigilant, gradually condensing magic power at his fingertips.

He asked, “Is there something you need?”

“Xia En, a member of the Kenroli family. I was wondering why that surname sounded so familiar. So you're a descendant of a sinner.” The noble sneered and said to Xia En, “My name is Sam, Sam Rost. Thanks to your Kenroli family, our family is now thriving in the northern border of the Dawn Empire.”

“…”

The Rost family?

Xia En narrowed his eyes, his calm gaze sweeping over the two.

One is level 34, and the other is level 39. I should be able to deal with them, I just need to consider some of the subsequent troubles…

“Master, he seems to be frightened. He doesn't even dare to speak.” The half-orc warrior mocked, saying to Sam.

“There's no way around it. The descendants of losers have a natural fear of victors.” Sam sneered and said to Xia En, “I won't do anything to you this time. After all, you're a partner of the White Rose Merchant Guild. Killing you would be very troublesome.”

“However, I still need to warn you, stay away from Tissia.”

“She is the heir of the White Rose Merchant Guild, my prey. You, a sinner from the border, are not qualified to compete with me. Do you hear me?”

“If you dare to harbor any improper thoughts towards Tissia again, I guarantee I will make the Kenroli family completely disappear from this world.”

To Sam's interrogation, Xia En remained silent, only focusing on condensing magic power.

“Hey! Are you deaf? My master is talking to you!” Seeing that Xia En didn't react, the half-orc warrior roared.

“You don't want to kill me?”

Xia En raised his right hand, and scorching flames instantly ignited in his palm!

“But I want to kill you!”
