At the same time
[Contestant Area] at Danu Military Academy
"Whew..."
Motan took a deep breath at that spot, then slowly stood up and softly said to the surrounding friends, "Sorry, I feel like taking a walk."
Fyari immediately leaned forward, gripping the chair back, curiously asking, "Havan, were you scared by that Chief Priest Ramollok?"
"It’s not exactly accurate, but if you really want to say that, it’s not entirely wrong either."
Motan pulled a corner of his mouth into a smile, showing it to everyone who seemed a bit worried, "It’s okay, it’s okay, I didn’t intend to aim for any good score anyway, definitely no pressure there. I just want to take a stroll."
Sometime during this, the young Saint Heir was hugged back into Elisa’s arms, and he nodded with determination, saying, "Don’t worry, Brother Hei Fan, I’ll keep an eye on the other competitors for you."
"So don’t go away for too long, okay."
Elisa playfully pinched Blake’s cheeks while smiling at Motan, saying, "It’s not good to make children take on too much work."
"Mm."
Motan touched his nose and then added, "But I don’t think Prince Blake is a child. Age may be age, but from my perspective, he’s more mature than many others."
[Bro! You’re my real bro!]
Blake’s gaze towards Motan instantly overflowed with gratitude and enthusiasm.
Elisa didn’t say anything further, just smiled and hugged the ’mature’ child a bit tighter.
"You have a weak body."
Luna reluctantly raised her head from her large notebook and coolly said to Motan, "Find someone to go with you."
[Hey, hey, hey! Sister, don’t randomly spread rumors, okay? What do you mean my body is weak? Let’s not say I’m really not weak, even if I were, it would still be a lot stronger than you! I’ve never banged my head during sleepwalking and cracked it open!]
Motan loudly complained in his mind while awkwardly nodding his head, "I appreciate it..."
He had given up arguing with Luna because her thought process is completely different from normal people.
"You’re welcome."
Luna graciously accepted Motan’s thanks, but did not hide her head behind the book again, instead she continued watching him with those misty eyes.
"Oh ho! Then just let me go with you!"
Fyari chuckled, stood up, and struck a pose like a magical girl transforming, smiling widely, "We can chat about your weak constitution on the way. Havan, you might not know, but recently my business associated with potions just imported a batch from the Dragon Clan, and they’re really nourishing.....ouch!"
Yu Chen removed her little hand that had just pressed Fyari back into her seat, blushing slightly as she touched Motan’s shoulder, her voice as quiet as possible, "Are we going?"
"Let’s go."
Motan immediately moved his gaze away from its already settled focus on the young girl, and coughed lightly, "Yeah, let’s go."
Yu Chen gently nodded, made a teasing face at Fyari, then with blushed cheeks, she grabbed Motan’s sleeve and led him away quickly.
"Tch, who cares, it’s just a Havan."
Fyari rolled her eyes and pouted in displeasure, considering she indeed wasn’t interested in Motan, so what she said was quite convincing.
Blake continued watching the competition attentively after the two left, silently vowing to help Brother Hei Fan discover the strengths and weaknesses of the enemies.
Elisa, meanwhile, was focusing on amusing herself by playing with Blake who was happily in her arms.
As for Luna, unsurprisingly, she let her face hang down again, continuing to turn the pages in that notebook that seemed never-ending.
...
"Always wearing a frown makes it easy to get wrinkles, you know."
Next to the artificial bush at the edge of the contestant area, Yu Chen suddenly lifted her little hand to pinch Motan’s cheek, wrinkling her nose in warning, "You might even lose hair over time!"
"Haha, that’s impossible, you can’t lose hair in-game..."
"Hm?"
"I mean of course you can!"
Feeling the increasing pressure on his cheek, Motan wisely chose to change his reply.
"That’s better~"
Yu Chen smiled, released Motan’s cheek that was probably pinched red and somewhat embarrassedly rubbed it twice, then softly asked, "You seemed exhausted watching that match earlier."
Motan gave a bitter smile and shook his head, helplessly saying, "Exhausted isn’t quite it, it’s just feeling a little suffocated."
"I see, so would you like to consider just playing casually and losing swiftly to end it?"
Yu Chen playfully stuck out her tongue, holding Motan’s sleeve and gently saying, "Since it was pre-discussed, I wouldn’t look down on this person for losing, because I know this guy in front of me is always reliable when he needs to be."
Motan was overjoyed, "Really?"
"Really, but being cool was something this person said himself, plus..."
Yu Chen nodded with a smile, then turned serious, "I think Lady Elyssa was right about that day. Not to mention the battle in Sumer that I couldn’t participate in, actually after that incident in Misha County, Motan you became quite stuck in the situation, since everyone isn’t stupid, even if many find it hard to believe, simply by investigating a little, they would know your accomplishments weren’t overly exaggerated. I... um..."
Motan blinked curiously, "What’s wrong?"
"I just feel like I’ve wronged you a bit."
