I’m Really Not Trying to Be Chased by the Heroine as the Villainous Playboy! – Chapter 248

Chapter 101: You’re Quite Something Too!

Charlotte unleashed a claw, and bright, blazing flames roared out like an ancient beast.

The scarlet flames shook the soul, splendid as fireworks yet carrying the terrifying might of a volcanic eruption.

Her fiery claws clashed with the massive waves in mid-air, and the once-thundering sea was instantly torn apart by the heat, splashing a large cloud of scalding steam, which then exploded violently.

Charlotte’s strike was like a raging dragon, easily breaking through the waves of the Water Beast!

Accompanied by a shout turning into a cry of pain, senior Nick couldn’t withstand even a single blow and was sent flying by the surging flames!

Even though Charlotte had already pulled back, the spreading flames didn’t extinguish, forcing the members of the South Sea faction to temporarily retreat.

Gasps erupted from the audience.

That overwhelming blow, and the crimson flames that burned through the gigantic waves in an instant, signified an unbelievable fact.

“That princess is already Sequence 7?!”

“Not to mention within the kingdom, even in the entire Veszyra, she’s exceptionally talented, right?!”

You see, the higher the bloodline quality, the harder it is to advance in levels, and the difficulty of promotion increases with each sequence level.

In this cohort of new students, Charlotte was the only one at Sequence 7!

But the most shocking part was Roy.

Starting from Sequence 7, the true power of a golden bloodline began to reveal itself.

For the Lionheart, that meant the Origin Flame!

That flame was born alongside the mythical races in the First Era, the source of countless flames. Compared to it, even the dragon fire that had destroyed countless lives fell short.

Otherwise, the Lionheart King wouldn’t have been able to severely injure the Bloodfire Dragon, Baragas, with a single blow.

The problem was that in the original story, Charlotte didn’t reach Sequence 7 until her second year, and mastering the Origin Flame was something that happened afterwards.

Now Charlotte’s growth had far surpassed the progress of the original story!

As the flames scattered, her red hair flying, the valiant princess turned back and smiled gently at her knight, shedding some of her earlier dominance for a moment of girlish tenderness, and a hint of pride that only Roy could perceive.

Her smile, as splendid as the fiery flames, ignited another round of cheers from the Lionheart citizens, capturing the hearts of many foreigners as well.

But in those eyes, more beautiful than rubies, only Roy’s figure remained.

Since the attack of the Evil Dragon Guild, Charlotte had doubled her training, aiming to protect her knight as a ruler—and to earn the admiration of the young boy.

There was no doubt she had succeeded.

“Should’ve known it was the princess, reaching Sequence 7 so fast. Now I feel a bit inferior.”

“Hmph, it’s nothing special.”

Charlotte glanced at Nia beside her before turning to Roy, “Aren’t you busy with something else? Just leave this to me.”

“Then I’ll rely on you.”

In reality, the battle power of the other Lionheart faction members was still somewhat lacking compared to the South Sea faction, but with Sequence 7 Charlotte at the helm, there was nothing to worry about.

Charlotte’s earlier strike had completely shattered the South Sea faction’s formation, allowing Roy and Nia to pass through the encirclement with ease.

Nick, clutching his burnt arm, glared at the direction the two had gone, seemingly shouting something in anger, but under the relentless assault of the Lionheart faction, she had no time to pay attention to them and could only watch as they disappeared into the mist-covered forest.

Thanks to the princess’s shocking performance, the audience from the Lionheart Kingdom was naturally in high spirits.

Seeing Roy successfully entering the forest, the academy head couldn’t help but nod slightly.

Back then, Rolynn relied on her exceptional talent and liked to fight solo, in this regard, Roy was evidently smarter.

Yet Janthea’s expression became a bit peculiar.

Some things are only perceivable by women.

With a powerful foe like the Lionheart princess in front, it looked like their daughter had a long way to go…

As soon as they entered the forest, the intensity of the battle immediately dropped.

As the name implied, the Misty Forest was filled with thin layers of grayish-white mist. This mist not only surrounded them and confused their sense of direction, but it also slowly drained the extraordinary power of those who entered.

If someone got lost in battle or exhausted their extraordinary power, it would be a huge loss. Therefore, even if there were encounters between students, they tried to avoid direct confrontation in the forest as much as possible.

Whenever they had a moment’s break, a certain elven girl couldn’t resist chattering.

But this time, the topic wasn’t as lighthearted as usual.

Nia, walking ahead, suddenly chuckled softly, “By the way, you get along quite well with that princess, huh?”

Roy paused for a moment before replying, “I guess so.”

“I’m her sworn knight.”

“She’s beautiful and powerful; it’s no surprise you’re loyal to her. Compared to her, I just can’t measure up.”

As she spoke, Nia unwittingly slowed her pace, her mouth pouting slightly.

But at that moment, Roy couldn’t help but chuckle.

So this carefree girl actually had moments of feeling down too.

“Come on, that’s not true, is it?”

“Eh?”

“You’re just as good looking, and in terms of strength, you’re not lacking either. Sure, you’re a bit behind in sequences, but you have your own strengths too.”

“Like right now, telling directions in this mist isn’t easy, neither I nor Charlotte can do it, yet you can easily figure it out by sensing the wind’s direction.”

Roy stepped up and patted her shoulder, encouraging, “So, don’t belittle yourself. You’re quite something too!”

Nia blinked blankly, and then the gloom disappeared, bursting into laughter, her delicate ears and soft chest vibrating with her joy.

“So you’re saying I’m not any worse than that princess?”

“Isn’t that obvious?” Roy gave her an eye roll.

Hearing the answer she wanted, the girl nodded contentedly, her enthusiasm rising, and soon her steps felt lighter.

However, in the audience section, watching the two chatting and laughing, the previously calm crowd began to murmur again.

Charlotte’s appearance reminded them of Roy’s identity as a sworn knight. But now, the Lionheart princess’s sworn knight had become the Nightingale’s partner; it was hard not to let their imagination run wild.

Amidst the whispers, a certain blonde girl’s gaze grew even more sorrowful.

Most competitors struggled just to advance through the dense fog—either sinking into mire, going in circles, or even falling off cliffs. Many capable contestants were eliminated because of this.

Fortunately, with Nia leading the way, poor visibility was no issue.

As mentioned earlier, Nia could find her way by wind; mere fog posed no challenge for her. Under her guidance, Roy felt as if he was on a leisurely outing.

Without Nia, Roy would have had to spend expensive favor points to get a navigation item.

But just as they were about to venture deeper into the forest, Nia suddenly stopped and ceased her jokes.

“Someone’s coming, and quite a lot of them.”

Just as her words fell, a group of figures emerged from the forest.

Leading them was a familiar face.

Roy blinked slightly, “Senior Douglas?”
