Chapter Seven, they are all my younger brothers

After Dios bowed and flattered Duke, demonstrating what it truly means to be a loyal subordinate, he retreated to his own dining table. He glanced at Richie, who was still deep in thought about how to defeat Duke, and secretly made a certain decision in his heart

"Haha, I'm waiting for you, keep it up, Number Two!" Duke said with a laugh, patting Rich on the shoulder. Ignoring Rich, who stubbornly sat on the ground instead of getting up, he turned and walked towards Dios, who lay motionless on the side.

Oh, what happened

Duke smiled; without uttering a spell, he casually waved his hand, and a thin layer of transparent substance covered his entire right arm, then spread across his body, making him appear as if he were enveloped in a layer of transparent clothing

But that guy, is he ordinary...?

Hehe, just a high-level mage

Hmph

This ... ... , isn't this also ... ... too much?

"Hehe, good boy, go get me some food..." Duke squinted, lost in thought, as he patted Dios's shoulder vigorously.

The other individuals at this table, each with bulging veins, began to exhibit traces of magical power in their hands. However, the student who appeared to be the leader did not speak, and they did not dare to act recklessly. This illustrates the strict hierarchy and the terrifying execution capability of the people at this table

Dios quickly nodded, but in the moment he turned around, a shadowy glint flashed in his narrow eyes

After Duke left in a whirlwind, my mood suddenly took a turn for the worse. As I was walking, I happened to see that guy who had previously made a bet against me, boasting loudly.

Loregg was taken aback, completely unable to understand what Duke meant

After a moment of silence, the senior said, "Hehe, it seems that the junior is quite confident. However, why should I and the library engage in actions that are inappropriate? There is no conflict between us."

Rich snorted a word through his nose, turning his head away from Duke. He was not someone who couldn't handle defeat; he just needed a moment to accept it: "You wait, I will challenge you again at any time to reclaim the position of the leader"

Rich was not surprised by his defeat. If it had not been for Duke forcibly breaking apart the ancient elvish version of the Nine Radiant Blossoms at the last moment, Rich would have had to lie in bed for at least half a month.

Let go of my tail

"You take the boss and I go gamble, yet you dare not give the boss money, showing no awareness as a subordinate at all. I see you also want to know why the flowers are red." Duke said while gesturing wildly, secretly glancing towards the little fox. Seeing that the little fox seemed to be feeling better, he felt somewhat reassured.

Dios stood up with a bounce; on his chest, apart from the clothes that looked like tattered rags, not even a trace of blood could be seen.

... ...

It was just a sentence, and everyone else fell silent. Indeed, the behavior of that new student was anything but ordinary

Duke was flustered; he only enjoyed the comforting sensation that came from touching the little fox's tail, but he had never thought of bullying the little fox, leaving him at a loss for what to do.

Not to mention anything about the younger brother, he has been professionally opening markets for over ten years and has never seen anyone like Duke, who actively requests to split the betting capital, and right off the bat asks for half.

"You like this, I am really worried, so I will cast a spell for you." As a heir of the druidic tradition, Ian cannot stand to see anyone uncomfortable in her presence

Duke placed his hands behind his back and walked up to Richie, half-squatting to look at Richie lying on the ground. He remarked, "Not bad, not bad at all. You, my little brother, are much better than that guy over there pretending to be dead. I, the boss, am quite pleased and have decided to make you the second-in-command"

Hello... it's you, the one who gambled with me before!" He walked over, and the more he looked at Loreg, the more he felt that the other person had a face that deserved a beating. "Give me half of the previous bet, quickly.

Yes, yes, the boss is waiting, I will be there shortly

Yes, I believe that before long, Dilit will seek trouble with this new student

Oh, are you talking about me

Bang bang bang

Haha, are you willing to obediently be my little brother this time?

Dios still had his eyes closed, but Duke could clearly see the corners of his eyes and mouth twitching uncontrollably. Without saying a word, Duke's deep and distant chant slowly began to resonate, and the space in front of him gradually grew warm. In an instant, a formed fire lotus flower appeared on Dios's forehead.

Hmph

Do not say anything more; in the future, let's just walk around when we see them, otherwise, it will be us who will be embarrassed. However, before that, someone will likely be unfortunate first

Oh? After a while, the leading student disdainfully uttered, "Why don't you let me see why the flowers are red."

Ian noticed that Ali's face suddenly turned very red. "Should I cast a Druid's blessing on you? That might make you feel a bit better"

Ah, hey, boss, what are you doing here? What a coincidence!

Oh... why? Duke pretended to be clueless

You are overthinking it, the average intermediate mage can defeat at least three or four novice mages, not to mention that Dirite is about to advance to the rank of senior mage

Hmm, Dirite is about to break through to the rank of Senior Mage, and with his peak Intermediate Mage status, he should be able to defeat a Junior Mage. After all, the potential of magical power does not necessarily represent true strength. But why do I have an uneasy feeling deep down?

Shaking his head, the other party sighed: "Just now, I secretly tried, but I cannot break through that layer of transparent object. Although I am a high-level mage, the other party also possesses the magical potential of a high-level mage. In terms of magical power, I cannot surpass him; he could exhaust me to death..."

Having finished speaking, Duke stood up, found a clean napkin from the table, and carefully wiped his hands. He then pointed towards Richie and Loreg and said: "Let me tell you, those over there are all my little brothers. If you dare to do anything inappropriate, I will make you understand why the flowers are red"

Ian was originally eating delicately with a spoon, but Duke's sudden departure made her see that the little fox's eyes were filled with tears. She immediately understood that it must have been that arrogant fellow who had bullied the little fox. She quickly sat down in Duke's original spot to comfort the little fox

"Boss, you... how..." The senior student who spoke first was puzzled but did not dare to ask loudly, so he could only speak softly.

Duke quickly clapped his hands together, producing a sound like steel clashing. With a fierce expression, he said: "Come on, let's have a match. Whoever loses will be the little brother."

Suddenly, a voice sounded beside them. Duke, with one hand clutching a chicken leg and his mouth full of grease, was biting into it. He was unexpectedly seated at a table next to them, while on the ground beside him lay a senior student who had presumably been at this dining table before.

When did he arrive? Why is there not a single sound? When did that guy on the ground lie down? https://www.hetushu.com.com? Damn, didn't you resist at all? Not even a little?

What?

Duke stammered for a long time, unable to utter a complete sentence, and ultimately even fled.

After Duke shouted a few times without any response, he directly slapped Dios's face, saying: "Still pretending to be dead? Aren't you going to get up? Do you believe I can burn you piece by piece with the petals of the Lotus Radiance Nine Splendors?"

Um, this... that... ah ha... I... am full... I will leave... a step ahead...

Duke shook his head, disregarding the few senior students. However, as he left, he stealthily took a plump and delicious chicken leg from the student who seemed to be the leader.

Near the inner side, at the best vantage point at a table, a senior student remarked: "That guy with a fierce expression is the inheritor of the White Angel, while the one playing dead is the bearer of the Black Angel. Both are at the ninth level of magical apprentices, with potential tested as a junior mage, infinitely close to becoming a mid-level mage; the one wearing a nightcap, who is exceedingly arrogant, has an unclear background, but on the day of the test, he also cast that kind of transparent, unknown spell, with strength at the level of a junior mage, yet his magical potential has already reached that of a senior mage, making him the most talented one in recent years."

"No... no... it's nothing..." the little fox said timidly and weakly.

Hmph! There is no best.

Duke exclaimed loudly as he got off that table and squeezed onto a chair near them, "Make way, we should be friendly among classmates. Can't you see I'm also filling my stomach? Disturbing others while they eat is a great sin!"

The little fox gently bit her lip, lowering her head in silence, yet her fair face grew increasingly flushed.

The few individuals seated at this dining table felt a chilling sense of dread deep within their hearts

Duke threw the bones, stripped of every shred of meat, onto the center of the table and cast a brazen glance at each of them: "I see you all want to be my little brothers, yet you dare to speak ill of me behind my back. You must be tired of living, right?"

Who is really disturbing whom?! Who is truly at fault?! Is there anyone as shameless as you?! The student who initially spoke various pieces of information was roaring in his heart, while the leading senior's face was extremely dark, as if he hadn't been able to relieve himself for many days

"What are you opening?" Duke said softly as well

Silence! Quiet!

"Black Angel? Is he that guy Dilite's cousin from the second grade?" A boy, clearly the leader of the table, asked.

The little fox suddenly felt a pang in its nose, and tears began to swirl uncontrollably in its eyes

"What do you mean by your little brother's awareness? When did I become your little brother?" Luo Leige looked bewildered, and the cigarette he had in his mouth slipped from his lips

A battle took place in the New Moon Cafeteria, ultimately ending in a complete victory for Duke. However, discussions about him quietly arose at various tables, with countless upperclassmen regarding Duke as the number one threat.

Ali, what is wrong with you? Are you coming down with a cold? Are you feeling unwell

After waiting for a while, she quietly raised her head to glance at Ian, and upon realizing that he was not paying attention to her, she spoke in a voice only audible to herself and Duke: "Please... please... please let go..."

Wow, it's so quiet! It wasn't like this before; everyone was talking happily!

Just like in the classroom, Duke rudely occupied a seat next to the little fox, then gathered around the table to feast heartily, but one hand was constantly searching for the little fox's tail under the table
