Picked Up A Demon King To Be A Maid Vol 1 Chapter 103

The Next Day

Loran Academy

The first round of the knockout compet.i.tion was going to start tomorrow .

Through the filtering of the group compet.i.tions, there were a total of 8 people that successfully advanced to the knockout compet.i.tion . This included Lin Xiao, Caesar, Shen DaiYing and Rosie from the magic department, and Sam and three others from the warrior department . These 8 will undergo three rounds of 1v1 knockout, the two that come out on top will represent Loran Academy at the “Eileen 18th Annual Academy Tournament” in a month .

As for Caesar, since his dream was to become the hero, he would have to get first place . As for Lin Xiao, he set a small goal for him self .

He should properly a.s.sist Caesar into first place and then he just has to get second place to fill the quota for the compet.i.tion .

However, getting second place wasn’t an easy thing to do .

None of the students that successfully advanced were to be trifled with . Even if it was Lin Xiao, he would have to expend some effort to make it to the finals .

Speaking of the levels of the compet.i.tors, in this short period of time, everyone’s levels had changed .

As for Caesar, he relied on his heaven defying natural talent, training both martial arts and magic, and had arrived to the fifth level for both . It’s said that he will soon be able to grasp a fusion skill that combined both magic and battle skills . His progress was extremely quick, and it should be no problem for him to take first place .

As for Rosie, she had been working very hard in order to catch up to Caesar . Apparently, lots of guys had spent big bucks to buy her a lot of expensive medicines to raise her magic level, like dragon bones powder, phoenix bile, ice toad pills and so on . It allowed Lin Xiao to experience how one could do anything as long as they had money… So, although she may not have the best talent, by taking a lot of medicine, her improvement speed was not slow either . She was now advanced fourth level, just a bit before breaking through to the fifth level, quickly following behind Caesar .

As for princess Shen DaiYing, her strength was a complete mystery, she has yet to reveal her true strength; however, according to her behavior she should be a warrior . Since she had such a frightening speed and sword skills, it was also probably at least fifth level or above, otherwise she wouldn’t be able to destroy the three brothers swords in one strike and also beat up Caesar while they were practicing .

As for Lin Xiao, to the public, Lin Xiao was a fourth level just like Rosie, but actually, because of magic acc.u.mulation through sleep, he was already intermediate sixth level, a genuine advanced magician, he was also almost at the level of the magic teachers .

The only problem was… being too high level was also a ha.s.sle, during the next compet.i.tion he had to defeat his opponent while hiding his true strength, it really will be tough on him .

…

“Erhrm… students, the first round of the knockout compet.i.tion will begin tomorrow, so anyone interested can spectate, then… see you tomorrow . ”

After the morning cla.s.ses ended, Lin Xiao was still spread out on his table sleeping, while Elena was standing next to him with a cold face, pretending like she was a statue .

Originally, Elena was supposed to go shopping like usual, and not follow Lin Xiao to cla.s.s . But strangely, Lin Xiao took the initiative today to ask her to go with him to cla.s.s, Elena didn’t understand why .

She didn’t tell Lin Xiao about what happened yesterday, neither did she tell him about what Sam told her to tell him, who is she kidding? How could she let Lin Xiao raise his vigilance? She looked forward to Lin Xiao’s negligence, and getting his legs broken by Sam during the compet.i.tion!

The more Lin Xiao underestimated his opponent, the more likely he’ll lose, and the happier she will be!

Elena was currently imagining what kind of methods Sam would use to defeat Lin Xiao, but suddenly a handsome guy was walking towards them .

“Hey, Lin Xiao, wake up! Your opponent for the next round is Sam, right?” Caesar knocked on Lin Xiao’s desk and pulled him out of his dreams .

“Mm… that’s him . ” Lin Xiao rubbed his weary eyes, still lying on his desk not wanting to get up, then turned his head and asked, “Caesar, do you know him?”

“Ah yeah, I know him . ” Caesar nodded .

Strictly speaking, he wasn’t friends with Sam, but they weren’t enemies either . Their relations.h.i.+p was very subtle, maybe they could be called “destined rivals” .

Although Caesar doesn’t admit it, that’s what everyone else believed . One was the flower of the magic department, the handsome and cool magic swordsman Caesar, the other was the head hoodlum from the warrior department, Hurricane Swordsman Sam, the two were incompatible like fire and water, and were destined rivals .

The two each represented the strongest within their own departments, the discussion about who was stronger between them has never stopped . Everyone had hoped that they would meet each other during the compet.i.tion, and decide the victor there .

But before that, Sam had to beat his opponent in the first round, someone that muddled into the knockout compet.i.tion through luck, Lin Xiao .

“Lin Xiao, don’t underestimate Sam, although everyone treats him as the head hoodlum, he isn’t like those other hoodlums!” Caesar patiently explained to Lin Xiao .

Although Sam was known as the boss of the warrior department and had a lot of underlings, he didn’t care about anything but training, but he also hated losing face, so there were a lot that used his name to cause trouble, which caused him a lot of needless inconveniences .

“So you’re saying that he’s a good hoodlum and not like those other bad ones?” Hearing that, Lin Xiao made an a.s.sessment, “No wonder he never did anything to Elena yesterday, made me worry for nothing . ”

Yesterday, Sam was angered by what Elena said but still never did anything to her, it was clear that he wasn’t a regular hoodlum and was tolerant .

Lin Xiao’s mutterings landed in Elena’s ears, and shocked her .

“Lin Xiao, h-how do you know I met Sam yesterday? I clearly never told you about it!” Elena glared at him with her blood red eyes and interrogated him .

Lin Xiao should have been sleeping at home when she met Sam yesterday, so as long as she didn’t tell him, he definitely wouldn’t have known about it… yet he still knew!

Why?

“Ah, d.a.m.n…” Lin Xiao paused, realizing his carelessness, but it was already too late for excuses .

“Could it be… you weren’t sleeping at home yesterday, but you were secretly following me?” Finally, Elena took a bold guess .

If Elena didn’t say anything, and Sam didn’t say anything, then the only way Lin Xiao could’ve known about it, is if he saw it himself . So the only explanation was that he was secretly following Elena!

“Following? No, no, no, I-I was just taking a walk, and coincidentally saw it, coincidentally…” Lin Xiao tried to defend himself while stammering .

He would never admit that he was following Elena, because that would be too embarra.s.sing .

Since Elena had been surrounded by the three brothers before, so Lin Xiao was a bit worried that she will encounter danger when she goes out shopping alone .

This Demon King, she was clearly powerless, yet her att.i.tude towards strangers was still so self-important, so, Lin Xiao couldn’t help but keep an eye on her .

He was worried that Elena would be in danger, so he followed her to secretly protect her, please, how could Lin Xiao say those foolish sappy lines .

The person he liked was the charming Sister Ying, not this Demon King, he just didn’t want her to cause him trouble!

“Elena, d-don’t be so narcissistic, who would follow you!? Let’s just continue talking about Sam . ” Seeing that it wasn’t going anywhere good, Lin Xiao quickly changed the topic, and made Caesar continue talking about Sam .

“Lin Xiao, you have to be extremely careful towards Sam! Although I don’t know what you guys were talking about earlier… but anyways, if Sam found your maid, that means he’s planning to go all out during the compet.i.tion! Sam is a fifth level warrior, and he can proficiently use wind battle skills, he’s extremely fast! Even if it was me, I can’t be sure that I can beat him . ”

Unexpectedly, the arrogant and self-important Caesar was actually modest, that was a first .

If Sam was actually as strong as Caesar says, then there would be no way for Lin Xiao to beat him without revealing his strength .

He was the boss of the warrior department after all, so he should at least respect him a bit .

What should he do?

Sam wasn’t an impetuous fool, unlike those three brothers, Lin Xiao couldn’t count on him foolishly coming to him by himself .

Since the head hoodlum was determined to teach Lin Xiao a lesson fair and square during the compet.i.tion, what can Lin Xiao do? He was also despairing .

He couldn’t sneakily injure Sam before the compet.i.tion, if that got out, he might even be expelled .

“Oh right, Caesar, where can I find Sam?” Lin Xiao was thinking of a countermeasure .

“There’s a small bar at the west most side in the old district, he goes drinking there every night . ” Caesar curiously asked back, “Why do you want to look for him?”

“I just want to talk with him… maybe he’s willing to forfeit?” Lin Xiao pursed his lips, and trembled from his cold joke .

“Forfeit? Stop joking!” Caesar was speechless .

Although Caesar knew that Lin Xiao was actually very strong, he didn’t know exactly how strong he was .

Can Lin Xiao still deal with it as calm and collected as before when facing Sam?

Caesar honestly wished that Lin Xiao would win . He hoped that him and Lin Xiao could make it to the finals, that way, the duel that was canceled can continue!

“Sigh, Lin Xiao, good luck . ” Leaving his blessing, Caesar walked off by himself .

“Strange…” Seeing Caesar’s back, Lin Xiao felt like there was something missing, “Oh right, Rosie and Shen DaiYing wasn’t there!”

Usually, Caesar would always be accompanied by a beauty . Either the cute Rosie, or the charming princess Shen DaiYing, but today he was alone .

“It’s probably because of the compet.i.tion . ”

Lin Xiao remembered, the two beauties that accompanied Caesar had already started preparing for their life ending fight, and had to time to accompany him, Rosie’s opponent was Shen DaiYing tomorrow .

Meeting of the love rivals, Rosie always dreamed about beating up this vixen of a princess, but the question is whether she has the strength to do so .

As for their compet.i.tion, Caesar had something to say, “I just hope that princess Shen DaiYing would hold back and not injure Rosie too much . ”

Who knows if Rosie would be happy or sad hearing that…

The Next Day.
