PFC Chapter 388 Bobby's Request
Chapter 388 Bobby's Request
The remaining heat of summer has not yet completely dissipated, and the autumn breeze has quietly blown by. Wolfe and Rebecca stood at the edge of the training ground, with their hands on their hips, looking at the students on the training ground in tacit understanding.
"Tsk—" Rebecca frowned.
"Tsk—" Wolfe sighed.
The training ground was filled with a howling wind as if from hell, blowing up countless sands. It was like two different worlds compared to the quiet and warm autumn day at the edge of the ground. After a while, thick fog fell, covering the entire training ground.
"Students nowadays have so many tricks up their sleeves..." Wolfe stared so hard that his eyes became sore in order to see clearly.
The sky was suddenly covered with dark clouds, thunder and lightning. Lightning flashed across the sky. The girl holding a silver sword was looming in the mist, as eerie as the god of death. Almost every time she appeared, exclamations from other teams could be heard.
"It's Lilith and the others coming!"
Some people screamed and tried to use spells to stop and help their partners to dodge, but the girl holding a silver sword arrived in an instant. She muttered something and an ice-blue light burst out from her hand, instantly freezing the surrounding guardians and nailing them to the spot, unable to escape.
The sound of fast footsteps was heard, and Lilith's guardians appeared from behind her. The black-haired boy used his sword as a guide, spun around and slashed down. Opponents fell one after another wherever the sword passed. The blue-haired boy wandered around the edge of the training ground, harvesting all the disconnected guardians and kicking them out of the training ground one by one.
Lilith herself leaped high up with the surge of magic power and went straight to the magician hiding at the back.
This aggressive attack was shocking, but it also exposed one's weakness. Someone on the side gritted his teeth and raised his hand, chanting an attack spell at the fastest speed, trying to shoot down the arrogant classmate. However, the red light flew past and disappeared in the sudden whirlwind. The man looked back in surprise -
The girl in the black dress raised her hand, and a whirlwind of magical elements gathered around her, making her silver hair dance without wind.
"Surrender, surrender!"
The guy who was pointed at by Lilith raised his hands in annoyance - he could attack with magic from a distance and fight with swordsmanship in close combat. This guy was simply a monster! Even if she only focused on attacking, there were others to cover her back. What was there to fight? No more playing!
The sandstorm on the field gradually subsided, and the fog gradually dissipated. Lilith stood on the training ground that was pockmarked by spells, quietly dismantling her protective gear.
"Don't pretend. I know you are very proud of yourself." Wolfe walked to Lilith's side and tilted his head to look at this student whom he loved and hated.
"Hehe." Lilith smiled shyly, with a hint of unsatisfied fighting spirit on her face. "Teacher, can we have more training sessions like this?"
The intensity of joint training was much greater than that of normal single subject training. The feeling of dancing on the edge of a knife really made her feel refreshed and she experienced the thrill of adrenaline rush. At this moment, her protective gear was covered in sweat, and bursts of white smoke were coming out in the cool autumn wind. She looked the embodiment of murderous intent.
Mr. Wolfe's expression was indescribable. "I can't remember what I was doing when I was your age, but it definitely wasn't like you... And, forget about you, what about that guy?"
He pointed at the blue-haired guy on the sidelines. He used to disappear as soon as he completed his training tasks, but now he is no longer lazy and is making rapid progress.
"Well... the power of money." Lilith didn't explain much. She could only say that thanks to Leila's encouragement, their group was now in a state of panic and their practical level had greatly improved.
"Oh, so you are going to participate in the College Cup? Are you confident?" Teacher Wolfe nodded in understanding. If that was the case, it would make sense for Lucas to work hard.
Lilith was stunned. Why did Mr. Wolfe think of that? She had never thought about... participating in the College Cup?
........................
"Of course I do!!"
Under the vines in the rose garden, Bobby blocked Lilith's way.
"Please, Lilith." Bobby clasped his hands together and asked Lilith to compete with him. "I must get first place!"
Lilith pursed her lips, and after a while she asked in a low voice, "Bobby...are you short of money?"
Bobby looked over with some confusion.
"You sent all your Guardian allowance to Sean's parents, didn't you?" The sunlight under the grapevines was dim, and Lilith's face was reflected in a colorful way. She looked at her friend in front of her and whispered to comfort him -
"Actually, you don't have to send it anymore. I'll ask someone to send Sean's share of the medicinal wine that we researched together to his parents every year. That money is enough for them to live a good life."
"That's your intention, and it has nothing to do with me." Bobby interrupted Lilith, "Besides... I'm not doing this for the money, and I'm not short of money! I just want to get first place!"
"But you should know that I am the sponsor of the annual competition. If I participate, no matter what the final result is, the fairness of the competition may be questioned, right? If I win first place, do I have to give the award to myself?"
Lilith pointed at her nose. She always knew that Bobby wanted to participate in the College Cup. He had always said so when Sean was still there, but she never thought about getting involved.
Bobby was stuck now, and couldn't utter a word for a long time.
"I, I want to go to Ozler!" When Lilith turned around to leave, Bobby shouted at her back, "Catherine promised me that as long as I can win the first place in the college cup, she will make an exception and allow me to go to Ozler in advance!"
Lilith turned around and looked at Bobby in surprise. Did Catherine actually make such a promise? This was not her style.
"I always remember what Senior Sister Jane said, Lilith." Bobby's eyes were slightly red, but he refused to blink and just stared at the person in front of him. "Becoming stronger, avenging him, and killing all those void beasts is what I should do... But I can't win the college cup alone, Lilith, I need your help."
His voice was filled with urgency and desperation. "The partners of the others have already been decided. There will be no place for me in their participating teams. Only you, Lilith, can I participate in the competition and have the best chance of making it to the end.
—Will you help me, Lilith?"
