Chapter 5: Shouldn’t a bootlicker be willing to work hard and never complain? Not long after, Lear came to a tall building, and many wizards in wizard robes were coming in and out. Just as he was about to walk through the door, he heard the voices of the female mage apprentices gathered nearby talking. "Have you heard? Eric will be competing with Senior Li Er in a week!" "Of course I heard about it! The news has spread!" "That bastard Eric has no gentlemanly manners at all!" Lear listened quietly without much expression on his face, but the next words made his face look strange. "That's right! Senior Li Er is so pitiful. He is obviously very good. Although he is a little worse than Eric, a 19-year-old intermediate wizard is still among the best in the history of the kingdom!" "I really don't know why His Majesty agreed to the Duke of Norton's request? But this is not bad. If Senior Li Er and Her Royal Highness the Princess' engagement is really cancelled, then do I have a chance?" "Compared to Eric, I still like Senior Li Er more. Although he is a little cold, he is really handsome!" "..."
Lear couldn't help but shudder. What are these female apprentices talking about? He thought that if the news of his fight with Eric spread, he would be laughed at. After all, someone wanted to steal his fiancée, which was a naked humiliation. But the facts seemed different from what he imagined. He turned his head and glanced at himself in the glass. With blond hair and blue eyes, he looked extremely handsome, far better than Eric. He remembered that he also had the title of the most handsome man in the royal city. Is this a world where appearance matters? "Is that Senior Li Er?" "where is it?" The female apprentices who were gathered together turned around one by one and saw Lear who was about to enter the college library. Feeling the loving, passionate, or pitying gazes around him, Lear stopped, turned his head, and smiled back. "It's really Senior Li Er!" A group of young girls stared at him, making Lear feel unreal. Aren't I a villain? Why do I feel more like a popular protagonist? Is there something wrong with this world? The original body was clearly a cold and silent person in the academy, but why were these school girls like this? Lear touched his chin and thought about it, it could only be because of his face. "Senior, are you here in the library to learn magic?" the bold mage apprentice next to him asked. Li Er looked at the female apprentice and was about to answer when a cold voice suddenly sounded from behind him: "Lier, you still remember to come to the academy!" In the library, a girl with long, slightly curly brown hair slowly walked out. The girl was quite beautiful, wearing glasses, and there was a hint of dissatisfaction in her dark eyes. As the girl continued to walk, her dark blue wizard robe swayed, occasionally revealing the fullness of her chest.
Lear turned his head and saw the girl approaching. "Tivine..." He said the girl's name, but his eyes narrowed. A trace of barely perceptible disgust flashed across his eyes. The girl in front of him was an acquaintance of his in the academy, the dean's daughter. "Tell me, why did you stand me up? Didn't you agree to be my sparring partner and practice magic together?" The girl stared at Li Er with an unfriendly look, as if she was going to make him pay if he didn't give her a reasonable explanation. Li Er thought about it and realized that this was indeed the case. Three days ago, his original self had promised to be a sparring partner for the girl in front of him. "Really? Maybe I forgot." He looked at the girl in front of him and answered nonchalantly. Tiveni was stunned for a moment. Li Er was just perfunctorily answering her questions? In the past, Li Er always stayed by her side and agreed to any request. Now that he stood her up, he actually acted as if it didn't matter. She couldn't stand it anymore and raised her eyebrows: "Lear! What's your attitude?" Li Er looked at the angry girl and smiled. "I just forgot something. Why are you so angry?" "Why should I be angry? You broke your promise! You have never done this before. Don't you regard me as a friend?" Seeing Lear's attitude, Tiveney became even more excited, and even tears welled up in her eyes. It looked as if he had suffered a great injustice. Watching Devine's show quietly, Lear just felt like vomiting. Why would the original body like such a person? Divine, the daughter of the dean of the Arcane Academy, has excellent looks and extremely strong magical talent. Players will also establish connections with each other when learning spells. Generally, such game characters should be like goddesses in the players' impressions, but in the game "Law", Divine was ranked in the list of the most disgusting game characters. The reason is simple, Divine is a top-notch green tea! She is a person who is very good at using her appearance to pretend to be pitiful to gain sympathy, and once she has gained enough benefits, she will kick the other party away. In the past life, many players were cheated by her. The original body was the same. He was attracted by the other party's appearance and even abandoned the war knight and chose the mage profession because of the other party's instigation. The original body was really obedient to Tivinny, but was always kept in suspense by Tivinny, like a bootlicker. She knew that Lear liked her, but she never let Lear hold her hand and never gave Lear any gifts. Lear remembered that there was another plot later. After the princess's imprisonment was exposed, her sister went to Tiveney for help. Avian thought that given Lear's usual attitude towards Tiviny, the other party should be able to lend a helping hand, or at least ask Tiviny's father, the extraordinary wizard, to plead for her. But in the end, Tiviney reported it to the Golden Church, which led to Avian's arrest by the Golden Church and then her execution in public in the name of heresy trial. He has a sister who cherishes him, but he chooses to be a bootlicker of Divine. "What a hopeless waste." Thinking of how Tiveney cared about him yesterday, a trace of anger inexplicably emerged in Lear's heart.
"Are you listening to me?" Seeing that Li'er remained silent, Tiveney cried even more excitedly. The apprentices around them also noticed the situation of the two and gathered around. Lear took a deep breath. If it were the old Lear, he would have knelt down and begged for forgiveness by now, but he was not like that. "I listened." "Listen, why don't you answer me? You..." "How do you want me to answer? Beg for your forgiveness in a humble manner?" Li Er interrupted Divine coldly, "Just because you broke the appointment, you think I don't consider you a friend? If that's the case, then our friendship is really cheap." Following Lear's cold words, the scene fell silent, and Tiveney opened her eyes wide, unable to believe that Lear would actually speak to her like this. Ignoring Tiveney's attitude, Lear continued: "How did I treat you before? I would try my best to meet any of your requests and obey you in everything. But what about you?" "You just think that I didn't treat you as a friend because I didn't show up for the date." "Do you know what happened recently? Eric wanted to duel with me and humiliate Stuart's dignity." "With your status, you should know about this, right? But after you knew about this, have you ever thought about me? Have you ever considered my feelings? What will happen to me?" "Why didn't I show up? Have you ever thought about the reason?" "Don't you think you are too selfish? You only consider your own feelings and never consider other people's situations." …… One word after another came out of Lear's mouth, like a string of cannonballs, not giving Tiveney a chance to speak. Tiweni opened her mouth slightly, not knowing how to refute for a moment. When did Lear dare to accuse her like this? Lear was just her licker, and shouldn't a licker be hardworking and willing to work hard? (End of this chapter)
