Kema's attitude gradually softened. He looked at Kevin and said, "Kevin, I'll remind you one last time. Father will be here soon. If you don't want to anger him again, you'd better take this off."
"Father will be here soon? I know, brother!"
Kevin, feeling as if he was facing a great enemy, immediately returned to the club room of the Institute of Advanced Studies and changed back into his most formal clothes.
About 10 minutes later, the noisy crowd suddenly quieted down, and everyone seemed to be avoiding something at this moment.
Walking out from the silent crowd was a middle-aged man who was as muscular as Professor Field, a former military instructor, with a beard, an extremely serious expression, and seemed to be in an extremely bad mood.
"Father!"
The two brothers of the Set family greeted in unison.
The middle-aged man was Kevin and Kema's father, Lei Gang Set, who held the highest status of duke in Levolden and was known as the "National Lion".
Fortunately, Kema informed Kevin in advance, allowing him to change the dragon maid's clothes in time.
Otherwise, given Duke Lei Gangset's current mood, there would be another bloody storm.
"Kevin."
"I am here, father."
Kevin answered respectfully. You Ling had never seen Kevin, an elite of Fu Sheng Academy, treat anyone like this.
"You...a disgrace!"
Still, there was no avoiding the bloody storm. Lei Gangset clenched his fist and punched Kevin, sending him flying more than two meters in front of everyone.
"Do you know how much shame the Set family has been brought upon by your loss to the last-place student in the academy? You even have the nerve to call me father!"
Σ(?Д?;)! ! !
Aisha was extremely surprised, and the white hair on her head stood up alertly.
It turned out that the real reason why the Duke was furious and beat his son away was the dropout duel half a year ago.
As the last person who defeated Kevin in the duel, Aisha, the person involved, was also afraid of being implicated by the thunderous wrath in front of her.
Chapter 131: Carlos and Seth
A trace of blood seeped out from the corner of his mouth, but Kevin didn't dare to refute. He just wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and climbed up silently.
"It's okay, Kevin!"
Aisha is afraid, of course she is afraid.
Even if Thunder Steel Set would not attack him like he did to Kevin, it would still be very terrifying to be implicated by the wrath of thunder.
But Kevin was beaten up because of himself. It would be too much for him to pretend he saw nothing when his friend was beaten.
The Royal Knight's sword blade blocked the second punch that Thunder Steel Set was about to throw.
Summoning the guard knight to stop the domestic violence, Aisha successfully attracted the Duke's attention to herself.
At the same time, most people present could not help but be surprised that this girl, who usually looked the weakest, actually stood up alone when no one dared to stop the Duke's anger.
"Aixia, stop meddling in other people's business!" Kevin said in panic.
He had been beaten countless times by his father since he was a child. It was enough for him to bear Lei Gangset's wrath by himself, and there was no need to involve more people.
"Aisha, oh, it's you?"
Glancing over, Lei Gangset's gaze fell on the white-haired girl beside him whose elven eyes lit up.
The national lion, a man with eyes as fierce as a wild beast, stared at her so hard that the hair on Aisha's head could not help but tremble.
"I see, Aisha Carlos. You just defeated Kevin by luck, the last daughter of the Carlos family."
"It's been a long time since I was the last one in the class." Aisha tried to refute by holding on to the beast-like momentum of the opponent: "I am now a grown-up!"
“Growth… humph, hahahahaha!”
Lei Gangset laughed wildly with his head raised, and his rough laughter continued to echo in the society's exhibition hall, attracting more people to watch.
"Only the weak talk about growth, just like your Carlos family that is so weak that it is about to collapse. Listen to me, the strong are those who have been chosen by fate since birth. Growth? The real strong are those who stand at the top from the beginning!"
Lei Gangset's words almost made it clear that he was not referring to the duel strength, but the difference in status between the two.
The Duke's family was at the top from birth. A declining family like Carlos would never be able to reach that level in their lifetime.
"Respected Duke Set, may I correct your point of view?"
The girl's gentle voice came out, forming a sharp contrast with Lei Gangset's deep and rough voice.
"who?"
"The eldest daughter of the Carlos family, Alice Carlos."
Alice walked out of the crowd, gracefully bent down and lowered her head, performing the most standard aristocratic social etiquette to Letset.
"Sister Alice?"
Aixia never expected that her sister would come out with her.
"Another brat from the Carlos family?"
With his brows furrowed, Lei Gangset's expression showed obvious dissatisfaction.
"You are just a kid, and you think you have the right to correct my opinion. Don't be so arrogant."
"Excuse me, but aren't you the one who is so arrogant, Your Excellency the Duke?"
Alice was not at all intimidated by Lei Gang's aura. Her confident and calm smile impressed everyone present. A girl from such an ordinary family did not panic at all when facing the Grand Duke.
"The history of Levalden was controlled by the royal family "Nero" 300 years ago. The emperor, who was called a tyrant by history, finally aroused the rebellion of the oppressed people. And the one who led the people and launched the revolution to overthrow the tyrant 300 years ago was the "Caesar" of today."
"What on earth are you planning to say, you little white-haired devil?"
Alice's beautiful light green eyes flashed a hint of mysterious provocation.
"According to historical records, Caesar 300 years ago was just a small family with fiefdoms in a desolate border. But Caesar was able to resist fate and lead the people to overthrow tyranny. But what the Duke said just now. The real strong are always at the top from the beginning? Can I think that you are denying the history of the royal family?"
"you……"
His beard trembled slightly. Even if the Set family was not afraid of the royal family, admitting disrespect to the royal history in such a public place would have a very bad impact on all aspects.
"My Lord Duke, do you think my correction makes sense? Or do you still want to stick to your own point of view? Do you think that weak families will only remain weak?"
He spoke in the gentlest and most polite tone to plead for the Carlos Family, and even used the name of the royal family to make the national lion unable to refute.
At this moment, Alice's smile seemed mysterious to everyone. She didn't look like a girl from a small family at all.
You Ling couldn't help but admire her: "The perfect family heir? That's what Aixia meant. Sister Alice is really amazing."
"Damn it, this little white-haired girl who is only good at talking. She actually compared her family to the royal family of Caesar! Our destinies are different. We are destined to be garbage, and that can never be changed."
"Are you destined to be a piece of trash? I sincerely advise you, Your Excellency the Duke, to respect others, and also respect yourself. Especially after the Set family has already been defeated by the fate of being a piece of trash, you are only degrading yourself by doing this."
After saying this, Alice glanced at Aisha beside her, as if secretly praising Aisha for winning the duel with the Set family.
"You sharp-tongued brat, I'm too lazy to continue arguing with you here. Just let your strength speak for itself. Wait, there will be something interesting to watch tomorrow!"
After all, it was a fact that Kevin was defeated. Lei Gang, who thought he could not refute Alice Carlos here, simply turned around and left.
The show that Lei Gangsat mentioned tomorrow is naturally referring to tomorrow's grade challenge.
The list of participants had already been sent to him by Fu Sheng Academy. Aisha Carlos, who he believed had brought discredit to the Set family, was also on the list.
As for the order of the grade challenges, it is claimed to be completely random.
However, with the power of the Duke's family, it is still possible to put some pressure on the academy and set the order for a performance duel.
"Kema, come here!"
"Yes, Father!"
Leaving behind his second son Kevin, Lei Gangset left the scene and took Kema, the 'eldest son', away with him.
"You can do it in tomorrow's duel. Completely crush the brats of the Carlos family."
"Crush it completely..."
To be honest, after watching the duel between the Heavenly Knight and the Phantom Demon, Kema still recognized Aisha's strength to a certain extent.
To say that he would crush her completely was not only overly arrogant, but also disrespectful to the duelist.
However, Lei Gang, the national lion, would definitely not allow her to give an ambiguous answer.
"You should know better than anyone what it means for the Set family to be defeated twice by the same person. Kema, as my proudest son, you must uphold the honor of the family!"
"I understand, father. I will never betray the honor of my family."
The proudest son?
Lei Gangset's seemingly approving words did not make Kema happy at all.
Chapter 132: Irena's Desire
In the second-year female dormitory building of Fu Sheng College, in a hidden corner at the turn of the top-floor corridor, there is a secret room that was secretly transformed by space magic.
Inside the secret room is Irena's magic workshop.
Irena, who did not join the magic club, would make any props or adjust any potions she needed in this hidden magic workshop.
According to insiders, over the past few months, Irena has been in and out of the magic workshop more frequently than ever before.
And every time she entered, she would immediately make the door of the workshop disappear, so no one would know what she was tinkering with inside.
There was still one day left before the school festival grade challenge, and Irena was still immersed in her magic workshop, and she didn't even attend the first day of the school festival.
"It should be successful this time."
The mysterious potion that was dangling back and forth in Irena's hand was not only boiling and bubbling, but also emitting a green light that looked extremely suspicious.
"The magic of split personality, I never thought that one day I would be involved in the taboos of the soul."
Irena was in mixed emotions. After failing countless times, she hesitated whether to drink the newly prepared potion in front of her.
If successful, a new personality can be split out from within one's soul.
As for why Irena did this.
In the battle with the phantom demon, after experiencing the feeling of You Ling controlling her body and fighting side by side with him in the form of a soul, Irena said it was very wonderful...even a little addictive.
It is extremely reliable, you can entrust your body to it completely, and there is still a sense of ease and security between the souls that the mind connection exists.
Irena could clearly understand why Aisha would hang the Millennium Brick all day long and was unwilling to take it down.
Although Irena herself really wanted to experience that sense of security again, after all, the Millennium Bricks were a prop summoned by her junior.
My dear and lovely schoolmate has revealed to me the secret that should have been kept secret, and saved me once.
As a senior, Irena was too embarrassed to ask Aisha Carlos to borrow the Millennium Bricks just to satisfy her own desires.
So, adhering to the mentality that it is better to rely on oneself than on others, and to work hard to have enough food and clothing, Irena has been concentrating on studying magic related to split personality in the past few months.
Anyway, the spirit behind you can be regarded as another soul of your own.
If there is no way to summon one like Aisha, just split one yourself.
It's not that she hadn't considered the danger of this experiment, but Irena knew very well that the advancement of magic technology was achieved through dangerous explorations.
Besides, as a perfect girl with both wisdom and beauty, the other personality that she split out of must be very reliable.
Then you can experience once again the feeling of handing over your body with confidence.
Thinking of this, Irena narrowed her eyes, made up her mind, and swallowed the cooled green suspicious potion in her hand in one gulp.
“≧口≦ It’s so spicy!!!”
The pungent and spicy taste made tears well up in the corners of Irena's eyes. She regretted it the moment she drank the potion. It was even more disgusting than a devil fruit.
After waiting quietly for a while, Irena's cheeks began to feel hot and red, her consciousness gradually became blurred, and when she looked at her own hands, she saw vague double images.
"I'm finally going to succeed. I really am a genius."
Irena, feeling dizzy, felt secretly happy.
"Hiccup~~!"
Then, accompanied by a burp as her stomach rumbled strangely, a strong smell of alcohol came out of Irena's mouth.
"This, this, this... Damn it, this is just because he's drunk! I was wondering why it's so hot!"
