Chapter 7: Intensive Review (Part One)

"This pig... uh, could our boss be so cunning? Impossible, absolutely impossible," said Salong, wiping the cold sweat from his forehead, quickly changing the subject. "I say, big guy, you stand tall, you must have seen this fat pig reaching the princess."

Are you referring to the priest who performed the healing magic for you

The tall man became alert, but he was already firmly held by Ding Ke, while Sa Long had long since hidden himself far away. He smiled awkwardly and said, "You have turned misfortune into fortune, curing your snoring problem"

"What are you congratulating me for?" Ding Ke scratched his head and shook it. However, he raised his head, and a mischievous smile appeared in his eyes

Indeed, Dean Harvey Potter of the Mage Department and Dean Christine of the Warrior Department have reached an agreement, stating the aim is to enhance the combat skills of graduates

Of course, there is one more thing he did not mention, which is the unknown energy mass within his body that was activated by the magic. It has begun to operate again and started to absorb the energy from the blood fighting energy mass located below the lower abdomen

How is it?

In battle, although the mage has no advantage in speed, it is difficult to say if they encounter someone with special equipment. Dink has never fought against a librarian or a mage, and he has absolutely no confidence in the outcome.

"Boss, congratulations!" said the big guy with a smile.

The cold crow circled in the sky for a while, then called out loudly from the treetop, as if summoning the still unconscious Ding Ke. After examination, it was determined that Ding Ke was not seriously injured, merely in a state of ordinary unconsciousness, and he was thus safely sent back to his dormitory

Who else could it be? That guy must have been deceived by the devil, mistakenly using a curse as a recovery spell. I could have regained my clarity at that moment, but after his meddling, my emotional turmoil only worsened. Although my mind remains clear, I cannot seem to awaken. However, you two are not bad; you have not disappointed me. " Dink released Murphy, casually adjusted his collar, and patted his chest. However, you two are not bad; you have not disappointed me. " Dink released Murphy, casually adjusted his collar, and patted his chest

Indeed! Murphy smiled slyly, knowing that Salong was saying this on purpose to test the fat man's reaction. He also noticed that Salong had changed his address from "fat pig" to "boss," clearly showing some caution. But wasn't he the same? Although the guy on the bed looked fierce, he was indeed a warm-hearted person, a good brother. However, this guy often complained about not having the opportunity to give Salong, this iron rooster, a good beating, and he had never been able to fulfill that wish.

If he is pretending to be asleep, it is likely a deliberate test of whether the three of us are loyal enough to each other!" Murphy said with some certainty

"Boss, you are awake!" both of them said simultaneously. Yet, in their hearts, they secretly criticized, this guy is truly cunning! Fortunately, they did not speak too harshly; otherwise, they would have faced consequences.

It seems that the grip was not well controlled; the tall man coughed twice and stepped back a couple of paces: "Indeed, you are our leader, and our respect for you is entirely heartfelt. Wouldn't you agree, Salong?" As he spoke, he sought assistance from Salong, who was hiding to the side. Salong nodded emphatically but did not speak. Of course, Salong understood that at this moment, silence was the best course of action.

Salong and Murphy stood guard beside him, but their gossiping instincts were particularly heightened, and they were determined not to waste a moment.

You do not stand very high, so how do you know that this fat pig has touched the princess's place

I saw you perform a suplex on him, and just as he was about to get up, you knocked him down with a punch

No one has made a suggestion, but this is all because of you, boss

No! Ronaldo shook his head, the assessment battle list for the week after the picture book has been released.

Murphy smiled awkwardly and immediately changed the subject. He deliberately touched Dink's forehead and asked, "Brewer, do you think our boss is pretending to be dead, not even snoring?"

Is that so? When did you start to follow the crowd? Seeing is believing, but hearing is deceiving. However, if this fellow wakes up, he will surely say that even seeing may not be real

Everyone is discussing it like this," Salong murmured

"That being said, why is he pretending to be asleep? What purpose does this serve, and what benefits does it bring him?" The tall Murphy pondered, stroking his chin thoughtfully.

I suppose so! Perhaps it was just good luck to encounter a guy with no practical experience. The boss's tactic of feigning an attack was truly effective; with a flick of my right hand, that guy obediently darted to the left, presenting his face to my left fist, and then he fell to the ground, conceding defeat

Salong pondered for a moment, feeling it made some sense, and then asked, "Is playing dead really enjoyable? How about we have a drink together at the Green Fairy Hotel, my treat! Let's celebrate our boss successfully wooing the princess."

I clearly saw the three of them snickering, but now is not the time to dwell on such trivial matters. Passing the graduation assessment for Level 6 warriors is extremely important to me; I do not wish to remain in this crisis-ridden campus any longer

"Certainly not! If he were pretending to be asleep, would he reveal such a flaw?" Salong scoffed, clearly unconvinced

"Is it just underhanded tactics? People like us value integrity and rely solely on our strength. Fist against fist! We absolutely do not resort to deception"

"Mage?" Ding Ke was taken aback; there had never been a precedent for a warrior assessment requiring a confrontation with a mage.

"Not necessarily. If it were me, I would also deliberately expose a flaw. Just to deceive someone as self-satisfied as you," Murphy said, giving his close friend a playful shove on the shoulder.

It means you have long since resolved the battle and are just watching the show now

Boss, this year's graduation assessment has been adjusted. You will face two Level 4 Mages and two Level 5 Warriors, which is quite challenging

Uh ... ... I don't know ! ''

"Let the princess come to visit him herself!" said Salong. "Our boss saved the princess's life, and according to the tales of those bards, a romantic scene is bound to unfold.

If there is something to say, hurry up and say it. Oh, looking at you, it must definitely not be good news, is it about me? Are the princess's followers discussing how to deal with me? Or has our princess directly recruited some thugs?

Brothers..." Ronaldo rushed in and, seeing Dink had woken up, quickly greeted him, "Oh, boss, you are awake!"

Salong was born into a humble family, and fortunately, his father brewed excellent wine, which earned them considerable favor in the lord's workshop. Thus, he was fortunate enough to be selected to study at Santander Academy, a privilege closely tied to his own talent and hard work. Although he worked diligently to support himself and could manage his daily expenses, he found it impossible to indulge in luxuries in such a place.

Hey, Salong, how is that opponent of yours

"You still don't want to show off! Next week, when you encounter a master, let's see how you plan to quickly take down your opponent. Didn't the fat pig say that seizing the initiative is the key to victory?" Salong muttered.

Who proposed this nonsense

Well said! This is the voice of a DINK.

You, rascal, do you think I want this! That damned healer must have received some benefit from that princess, deliberately tormenting himself

Do you think it is possible? Our boss does not leave a good impression on the princess
