You want to make me the devil, right?

“So many people…”

Looking at the nearly one hundred mages and knights already waiting in the arena, Xia En revealed a surprised expression.

Were there so many people wanting to challenge Aurelia?

“Of course. The senior archmages of the Magic Academy have already said that whoever can injure Aurelia will be eligible for a scholarship,” Mina said to Xia En. “But rumor has it that even in the Knight Academy, there are few knights who can injure Aurelia.”

“Her Knight Breathing Technique seems capable of blocking all physical and magical damage.”

“So powerful?” Xia En stroked his chin upon hearing Mina's description of Aurelia's abilities.

Wasn't that to say that she not only possessed the Holy Sword, but her Breathing Technique also had exceptional defensive properties?

An integrated offense and defense?

However, this was also a certain advantage of knights.

“Are you also here to challenge Lady Aurelia?”

Suddenly, a familiar figure came into Xia En's view.

“Hills?”

Xia En was surprised to see Hills' arrival.

Wasn't this his defeated opponent?

“You're also going to challenge Aurelia? By the way, why do you call her 'Lady'?”

“Of course I'm going to challenge! It's my honor!” Hills said, puffing out her cheeks. “That's Lady Aurelia!”

“Although you defeated me! In front of Lady Aurelia, you're as insignificant as a little white mouse!”

“Then wouldn't that make you even worse than a white mouse?” Xia En teased.

“I…”

Hills was momentarily speechless, turning her head away and huffing softly, “Hmph~ Once I become Lady Aurelia's serving knight and return after completing my training, I'll definitely defeat you then!”

“Serving knight? Isn't that just a lackey?” Xia En understood what a serving knight was.

It was similar to a magic apprentice in the Magic Academy, following a powerful mage to learn magic.

“This is my ideal!”

Hills' eyes suddenly lit up. “As long as I can get guidance from Lady Aurelia, everything will be alright!”

“…”

Xia En was speechless, never expecting that his defeated opponent was actually a little fangirl of Aurelia!

“By the way, did my brother go looking for you?” Hills suddenly asked Xia En.

“No, what's wrong?” Xia En asked in return.

“I haven't seen my brother since the friendly match yesterday, and I don't know where he went.” Hills shrugged, continuing, “I thought he went to you for a knightly duel, but it seems he didn't.”

Xia En didn't say anything; he wasn't interested in Hills' brother.

As for a knightly duel…

“Are you more skilled or is your brother more skilled?” Xia En asked Hills.

“He's a little bit more skilled than me.”

“Oh, then it doesn't matter.”

“What do you mean!?”

Hills put her hands on her hips, questioning him angrily.

“That's Aurelia?”

“What a powerful oppressive aura!”

“My heavens! No wonder she's one of the three strongest knights of this generation!”

“The strongest female knight! The ace of the Dawn Knight Academy!”

“…”

Xia En's gaze was also fixed on Aurelia as she strode forward, still wearing that silver cloak.

Completely enveloping her, unable to see her appearance.

Only a pair of silver-white iron boots were exposed, shimmering brightly in the sunlight.

And as everyone watched, Aurelia arrived at the very center of the arena.

With a wave of her right hand, the silver cloak was instantly thrown into the air.

Immediately after, Aurelia's true appearance, hidden within the cloak, was revealed to everyone!

It was a tall woman, looking from afar, estimated to be over 1.8 meters tall. Her light yellow hair was tied up high, appearing noble and heroic.

And her body was tightly wrapped in specially made platinum armor, without revealing any skin.

But even so, one could feel her all-embracing spirit from the style of the armor!

Xia En couldn't help but look at Mina.

Could it be…

Even more outrageous than Mina?

“So cool! Lady Aurelia is indeed the strongest female knight! She's the goal I strive for!” Hills was extremely excited, her eyes full of admiration for Aurelia.

Xia En glanced at her, suddenly feeling that the sense of accomplishment from defeating Knight Hills had vanished!

“Everyone.”

Aurelia slowly spoke at this moment, “This time, I specifically requested the Magic Academy to adjust some of the content of the friendly match.”

“Because, everyone's battle yesterday made my heart surge and my blood boil!”

“Therefore, I can't wait for a hearty and uninhibited showdown!”

“Among you nearly one hundred people, if anyone can injure me without me using the Holy Sword of Aerondight, this treasure will be theirs!”

As Aurelia spoke, she raised her right hand high.

It was seen that there was a dazzling diamond in the palm of her hand, shining brightly in the sunlight.

“That's! The Heart of the Knight!”

“That's a treasure of epic quality!”

“Rumor has it that it can protect the wearer from a fatal crisis once!”

“Aurelia is actually willing to give away such a precious item!”

“No wonder she is the heir to one of the oldest knight families! So generous!”

“Good! This Heart of the Knight is mine!”

“Wait? What if many people injure her?”

“Naturally, one for each person! Everyone gets a share!”

Everyone excitedly took out their weapons and chanted spells.

Even Hills excitedly drew her rapier, muttering softly, “I want to prove myself! I want to prove myself to Lady Aurelia!”

Unlike the excitement of the crowd, Xia En felt a headache.

Since Aurelia could say such a thing, she must have been fully prepared!

I'm afraid that even if the nearly one hundred people present attacked together, it would be difficult to injure her!

So…

“Mina.”

“What's wrong? Xia En?” Mina, eager to try, looked at Xia En curiously.

“I have an idea.”

“An idea? Can it defeat Aurelia?”

“It can!”

…

Aurelia stood in the middle of the arena, her azure blue eyes sweeping across everyone present, nodding in satisfaction as she saw their spirited momentum.

Then, she held the Heart of the Knight in her left hand.

She said calmly to everyone, “Then!”

“Excellent students from the three academies!”

“Let me see your determination and fearless courage to become stronger!”

“With this, face the world-destroying crisis brought by the new Demon King!”

“Now!”

“Let us begin the battle!”

Xia En: Seems like someone called me?
