"Xi Nuo, you'll come too, right!" You Luo said.
"Of course! I'll definitely risk my life to accompany a gentleman!"
"What's a gentleman?" Jia Ka asked.
"A particularly upright person, short for 'gentleman'!"
"So, someone as upright as me is a gentleman!" You Luo said.
"I'm also a gentleman!" Jia Ka echoed.
The four of them came to the small grove behind the teaching building during their lunch break.
Milia sat on a bench, quietly reading a book.
The book was written by Xi Nuo and hadn't been published yet.
The title was "Romance of the Three Kingdoms."
Milia noticed Princess Alexia walking over.
Princess Alexia came here every day to deal with some personal issues, because her strength was very ordinary, so there were a lot of people who wanted to pursue her.
"Princess Alexia, please go out with me!" A Duke's Son, handsome in appearance, handed 99 roses to Princess Alexia.
"I refuse!"
Princess Alexia answered without hesitation.
"How can this be? Princess Alexia, I am a Duke's Son, my strength is not weak, and my family background is prominent. I am absolutely a perfect match for you!"
"I don't like you!"
After these two sentences, the Duke's Son knew he had no chance, so he turned and left.
As for Milia, there wasn't a single person over there who dared to approach her; everyone who had mustered the courage had been beaten up, and now only those still observing remained.
The Duke's Son, seeing that Princess Alexia had rejected him, looked towards Milia.
Milia, reading intently, was truly very gentle. Coupled with her lovely and charming appearance, she could easily capture a man's heart.
"Beautiful lady, I..."
"Stay away from me!"
Before the Duke's Son could finish speaking, Milia interrupted him, without even looking at him.
This made the Duke's Son feel humiliated.
He had also witnessed Milia challenging Princess Alice yesterday and felt that Milia was nothing special; she couldn't defeat Alice, and he couldn't defeat Alice either, so they were equals.
"I am a Duke's Son. I hope you, a Viscount's illegitimate daughter, don't push your luck!"
"Did you not hear me tell you to stay away from me!"
Milia had stood up at some point, and now, with one hand, she gripped the Duke's Son's neck, lifting him.
Princess Alexia and the Duke's Son hadn't even seen when Milia made her move.
Milia threw the Duke's Son ten meters away with one hand.
"Don't come so close to me again; next time, you won't be unharmed!"
After Milia finished speaking, she sat down again and quietly read her book.
You Luo and Jia Ka exchanged glances, immediately abandoning their previous thoughts.
It was too terrifying; that icy gaze felt like it could kill.
"Wonderful, absolutely wonderful! This is exactly the kind of campus ice queen goddess who, as an ordinary extra, is destined to be treated this way!" Xi De thought, extremely excited.
There were other people nearby, also there to watch the excitement, as Milia was already a campus celebrity.
Princess Alexia paid no attention to external affairs and knew nothing about Milia's situation.
She hadn't attended the opening ceremony, after all, because she didn't like her sister.
Princess Alexia walked directly to Milia's side.
"Um, what book are you reading?"
"What do you want?"
"I want to know why you're so powerful!"
"Practice hard!"
"Can you give me some guidance?" Princess Alexia asked cautiously.
Milia didn't even look up at her.
"No!"
"I can pay, I can pay a lot, a lot of money!" Princess Alexia said confidently.
"I'm very busy, I don't have time. If you bother me again, even if you're a princess, I won't be polite!"
"As long as I can become stronger, I'm willing to even take a beating!"
Princess Alexia saw something else in Milia: absolute power.
As Princess Alice's younger sister, Princess Alexia could sense that the other party's strength was no less than her sister's.
Milia closed her book.
She looked towards the crowd of onlookers.
Seeing that Milia was no longer reading, someone immediately stepped forward.
"Miss Milia, I like you, please be my girlfriend! I am a Son of the Marquis, and I will love only you for my entire life!"
(Milia uses the alias Milina at Midgar Academy, but for ease of viewing, the alias will no longer appear!)
"If you want me to be your girlfriend, defeat me, and I might consider it!"
Milia's eyes looked towards that figure in the crowd.
The figure she had been longing for.
If Xi Nuo hadn't told her to temporarily stay away from him, Milia would have wanted to cling to him every day.
As a maid, that's what she should do.
"I was waiting for you to say that! I'm not like those useless fools from yesterday! I am a successor of the Royal Capital's Martial Heart Style!" The Son of the Marquis said arrogantly.
"Miss Milia, please excuse me!"
The Son of the Marquis drew his Magic Sword.
"Begin!" Milia said coldly.
Milia didn't instantly kill her opponent this time; Xi Nuo was watching her, and she wanted to perform well.
The opponent suddenly charged towards Milia, swinging a sword.
Milia stepped back, and the opponent's sword just missed.
Then the opponent continuously swung his sword, and Milia constantly shifted her position.
It looked very elegant, like she was just walking normally.
It was impossible to tell that she was dodging attacks.
As long as she controlled the opponent's attack distance and then used her footwork to move out of the opponent's attack range, then the opponent's attacks wouldn't hit her at all.
"So elegant! So beautiful!" Princess Alexia exclaimed.
The Son of the Marquis felt immense pressure; the way she strolled casually seemed to be completely toying with him, yet he just couldn't land a single hit.
After dodging a few times, Milia directly raised her hand and caught the opponent's sword between two fingers.
She sharply kicked the back of the opponent's calf.
Feeling intense pain, the opponent immediately dropped to one knee.
Losing his balance, he couldn't hold onto his sword, which Milia snatched away with two fingers.
Just as the Son of the Marquis tried to stand up, Milia held his sword to his neck.
"You lose!"
The Son of the Marquis felt as if everything was a dream, too unreal; the opponent's strength was terrifyingly powerful, and he had no ability to resist.
Milia threw his sword on the ground.
She turned and walked away, looking at the crowd.
"Is there anyone else among you who wants to challenge me? Come at me, all of you!"
The Son of the Marquis felt too humiliated and scurried away.
Everyone looked at each other, wide-eyed.
Everyone generally felt that the Son of the Marquis, that so-called Martial Heart Style successor, was very weak.
Compared to Milia, he was too weak; everyone had a feeling that "I could do it too."
"You said it! We'll all go at once, and whoever hits you, you have to be their girlfriend!"
A few Magic Swordsmen stepped forward.
More Magic Swordsmen stepped forward; most of them weren't trying to be Milia's boyfriend, but rather felt that Milia looked down on them.
Milia looked at Xi Nuo and Xi De in the crowd, her eyes filled with confusion.
She had no idea why Xi Nuo wanted to join in the fun; if Xi Nuo said the word, Milia would basically do anything, even if it meant killing the King of Midgar Kingdom.
"Of course, I stand by my word, but are these the only ones?"
Looking at the 34 people who had stepped forward.
Feeling Milia's blatant contempt, 5 more people appeared, making a total of 39 people!
"Then, Miss Milia, please excuse us!" The first person who stepped forward shouted.
He and his friends all charged forward.
The next second, all of them were kicked away by Milia. One by one, they flew out, fell ten meters away, and passed out.
Xi De took the lead.
"Let me show you my power!"
Milia didn't retaliate, but instead dodged Xi De's attack.
Milia didn't know that Xi De was Shadow of The Order.
The only people who knew Shadow was Xi De were the Seven Shadows and Xi Nuo.
She didn't make a move because Xi De and Xi Nuo were brothers.
It wouldn't be good to beat up her master's brother.
Milia looked at Xi Nuo.
Xi Nuo spoke, but no sound came out.
Milia, who often stayed with Xi Nuo, read his lips.
The meaning was, "Beat him hard!"
Milia blinked, indicating she understood!
Xi De attacked again, not fast, but looking very imposing.
Everyone was encouraged by Xi De's actions; a group of people fighting one person, if they didn't dare to go, that would be the most humiliating.
You Luo and Jia Ka were also encouraged by Xi Nuo and charged forward together.
Xi Nuo followed along, just playing a supporting role.
Milia precisely dodged Xi De's attack and landed a fierce punch on Xi De's face with a backhand.
Xi De spun 1080 degrees in the air, finally falling headfirst and butt-up on the ground.
Milia felt a little strange; she hadn't used that much force just now, so why did Xi De fly so exaggeratedly after being hit?
Milia didn't think much of it; she charged into the crowd alone, and everyone flew out one by one, either passing out or feigning unconsciousness.
Xi De spat out a mouthful of blood and charged up again. Then he flew out again in a different posture.
He spat blood, went up again, flew out again, then spat out a mouthful of blood, and stood up again.
A minute later, the only ones left standing were Xi Nuo, Xi De, and Milia.
Princess Alexia stared blankly at Xi De; he had flown out 35 times already.
"Hey, ordinary classmate, are you okay? You're bleeding a bit much!"
"I'm fine!" Xi De replied.
"I still have one of my 36 profound techniques left! I'll show you how powerful I am!"
Xi De charged, and this time, Xi De was sent flying and passed out directly.
He didn't get up again.
