Chapter 215 The Villainous Jin Suffers Repeated Defeats (16)
"A duel, are you in?"
When Yi Yi uttered those words, the entire audience erupted in uproar.
No one questioned whether Yi Yi's current demeanor matched her original appearance.
They just kept saying "Wow!"
Perhaps it's human nature to be a gossipmonger.
Or perhaps no one will stop the female lead from driving the plot herself.
The teacher, who had initially intended to drag the boy out to stop him from causing further trouble, surprisingly stopped.
This gave the boy a taste of being caught in a dilemma.
He glanced at the teacher, who was patting the dust off his hands and preparing to abandon the task.
With a determined effort, he picked up his wand and stood up.
With his chin raised, he spoke in what he thought was his strongest tone, his voice trembling: "Compare what?"
Yi Yi tilted her head and looked at the teacher beside her: "If I remember correctly, our academy supports practical combat duels, right?"
The teacher adjusted his glasses and nodded, saying, "Yes, students can challenge each other to duels at any time, and the academy will provide the venue and referees."
Yi Yi nodded, turned her head to look at the boy, and said, "Did you hear that? Then let's fight."
The male student looked around.
Because today's lesson is a basic course that the whole grade takes together.
Even more people came because the lecturer was Lynn.
If we were to duel now, I'm afraid so many people would be watching.
Even with everyone watching, Yi Yi couldn't bring herself to do something drastic.
But it would be too embarrassing to lose like this!
The first thing he said was, "Okay, I agree! But I need some time to prepare!"
"Why should I?" Yi Yi retorted with a sneer without even thinking. "I just cast several spells in a row, and I didn't ask for preparation time. Why should I ask for more time?"
The sharp words mercilessly tore away the boy's fig leaf.
The boy's face turned red with anger, but he was truly in the wrong, both in terms of face and reputation.
Even though he was cursing Yi Yi to the heavens in his heart.
Yet he still couldn't come up with a single excuse.
Meanwhile, Yi Yi pressed on: "I'm not asking for anything too outrageous. If you lose, apologize to the whole school over the loudspeaker. If I lose, you can name any conditions you can do."
Yi Yi's increased demands at this point became the final straw that broke the camel's back.
He glanced at Yi Yi, then at Lin En, who had somehow appeared behind him.
Even if the odds of winning are slim, refusing such a bet will definitely put a strain on one's position within the family.
If he wins, he demands that Lily, the only light mage, marry him.
Then the family can reach new heights.
Then I will be a superior person!
"Okay!" The boy agreed to the duel challenge. "I, James, demand that if you lose, you marry me!"
Yi Yi raised an eyebrow, not surprised by his bet.
Even if it was expected.
She was also disgusted to some extent.
Let's think of a way to beat them up fairly and squarely.
Thinking this, Yi turned to her teacher and asked, "May I begin the duel now?"
The teacher nodded, turned around and walked towards the door, saying, "The school encourages students to compete and improve with each other, so the dueling arena can be opened by simply inputting magic power. If Mr. Lynn agrees, please come with me."
Lynn certainly wouldn't mind his apprentices skipping class for the duel that was proposed by them.
He immediately waved his hand and said, "Let's go, the lesson is almost over, let's all go and take a look!"
It seems that being a gossipmonger is indeed human nature.
A cheer erupted in the classroom.
So Yiyi looked straight ahead and walked casually ahead.
James, on the other hand, was trembling behind them, whether from anger or something else, it was hard to tell.
Following behind were the other students who were also preparing to watch the play.
At this time, as they were on their way, they inevitably walked together with their close friends in twos and threes.
When acquaintances get together, they inevitably start gossiping: "Hey, did you guys notice what happened to Miss Angelina just now..."
"Yes, yes! I knew that Teacher Lynn would be teaching late, and I arrived late and didn't get a good seat, but luckily I was sitting very close to Miss Angelina's seat, so I saw her!"
"Right! I saw it too. Miss Angelina's expression wasn't quite right when she received the message from the Light Butterfly!"
"Yeah! Although his reaction wasn't as strong as James', he still had a rather unpleasant expression, standing out conspicuously among the puzzled looks around him!"
"Hey, look! Miss Angelina isn't planning on going to the dueling arena to watch the show; she's trying to sneak away! She's definitely feeling guilty!"
Exhausted from dealing with everything, Angelina paused in her steps as she prepared to return to her dormitory.
Then, Yi Yi, who had appeared among the girls at some point, said, "Don't doubt Miss Angelina. She has absolutely nothing to do with damaging the seats! I believe Miss Angelina!"
The essence of gossip lies in speaking only to specific people.
It will stop immediately once an unexpected person is added.
Those people didn't expect that their gossip about Angelina would be stopped by Lily.
Thinking about how Lily behaved today.
The group chuckled and admitted they were wrong.
They told Yi Yi that they apologized to Angelina.
After saying that, he quickly caught up with the large group in front of him.
But the seeds of doubt have already been sown.
Will the gossip stop after Yi Yi exposes it?
No, it won't.
They will only seek out more people who might share their perspective and continue to gossip about these things.
Those people were probably people who also noticed Angelina's strange expression, or people who didn't get along with Angelina.
After all, what I said was true, so they wouldn't feel guilty.
Then the rumors about Angelina possibly bullying Lily behind her back will snowball.
It is becoming known to more and more people.
Even in this process, it may be distorted and exaggerated.
As for Yi Yi, she might become the fool they call someone who can't judge people.
But it's harmless, isn't it?
Yi waited until they had walked a little further away.
He exchanged a silent glance with Angelina, but didn't intend to say anything more.
As if she weren't the one who had spoken up for Angelina just moments before, she turned and was about to leave.
Angelina took several deep breaths.
Still couldn't help it.
He rushed forward in a few steps, grabbed Yi Yi's hand, and said, "You did this on purpose?"
In response, she received only a gentle smile from Yi Yi.
What was clearly the brightest smile appeared indescribable to Angelina at that moment.
Angelina jerked her hand away from Yi Yi's.
Yi Yi didn't react much. She twisted her wrist and turned to walk towards the dueling arena.
Walk out about half a corridor.
Angelina shouted from behind, "You wait! Don't think I'll let you manipulate me! Don't think I'll just obediently follow your script! I won't let you have your way! Absolutely not!"
Yi Yi then began to react.
He casually raised the feathered magic wand and tapped it lightly.
A luminous butterfly fluttered out.
It flew up in front of Angelina and suddenly exploded like a small firework.
A voice, tinged with a light laugh, came: "We'll see."
When I looked up again, Yi Yi had already disappeared at the end of the corridor.
Angelina gritted her teeth.
Clenching my fists, I firmly declared in my heart: So what if I'm the female lead?! So what if I can't use the walkthrough and become a guide?! I'll still find a way to live a wonderful life!
Lily, you've been given a new soul! Just you wait!
