Summoned and Unwanted

Chapter 493

493 We need a disguise

Vincent retrieved the picnic items, and his team was teleported back to the academy. Moments later, they returned to the arrival hall’s guarded teleportation point.

As the doors opened, they could hear the sound of clapping. When the doors completely opened, the sound of about half the students clapping their hands entered their ears.

The royal soldier stood in from of the opened door. He smiled and congratulated, “It was an unexpected victory. Using Wild Blow to turn the small rocks into projectiles was an impressive tactic. It shows how you have survival experience, and anything can become a weapon.”

“Thank you. I went with the flow and left it to lady luck.” Vincent lied with a straight face. Based on the reception received, shouting the warrior’s skill Wild Blow and acting as if the skill worked made many people less cautious of Vincent now.

Vincent’s team was a team with a lot of weaknesses, and a team with only two combatants was very rare. Many students were already planning on how to distract Vincent and Nick from capturing the flag.

Many thought it would be easy points fight a ranking match with a team of only two combatants. However, none of the students knew Vincent’s full power. Fighting him would be similar to fighting a teacher or worse.

Many students flocked to the winning team with different intentions. Fortunately, the door guards stood in front of them with a frown.

“Fight us next time. We can do one on one matches if you’d like.”

“How did you keep food in your bag of holding? We want to try eating like that.”

.....

“Stop pushing. I want to challenge their team too. Their weakness is too obvious, and it will be a free win.”

“You stop pushing. I want to know what food they ate. It looked very good.”

“I also want to challenge their team. I have to pay them back for the money we lost.”

“Heh. Looks like we have another betting sore loser in our mists.”

“What did you say!”

[Vincent. I think it would be best to leave before the students start fighting against each other to have a piece of us.]

Kazumi suggested as most of the students were looking, staring, or glancing at them.

Vincent felt his arm being squeezed. He moved his gaze and saw Lilith anxiously holding his arm.

“Thank you for the compliment, but I feel tired, and I need to rest.” Vincent moved his shoulder and acted in pain.

“Argh. I think I might have sprained my shoulders from the rock shot move I made.” He lied with a pained expression.

“I understand.” The royal soldier responded.

Vincent and Lilith took out their student academy card and teleported. Nick, Clair, and Jun Ye Rim had no choice but to leave as well. The crowd of students requesting different things was overwhelming.

The royal soldier frowned and ordered, “Stay in line if you want your team to go next.”

The royal soldier looked annoyed at the students as he continued, “I the small chat with the wanted to last a little bit longer, but you all shooed them away.” Continued the royal soldier gaze.

The students couldn’t think for a moment. The royal soldier who visits every scholastic year had never shown much interest in the winners. Not to mention how this was the first time they saw this royal soldier become annoyed at the fact he couldn’t talk to the winners.

“Were Vincent Lionheart and the infamous Nikolai Graymoon special?”

“Maybe the royal soldier is interested because they won in the five versus two match.”

“But what’s interesting about them, though? I heard Vincent Lionheart is special, but I didn’t see much special in this match.”

“Same here. They won because their opponents were surprised by the attack, and they didn’t start casting their spells the moment their opponents came into view.”

“I bet I can take them down.”

“Me too.”

The dispersing students commented in a low voice.

*Team Ten Island*

Upon arrival, Ester, Lupa, Plow, Iris, Vivid, and Pussy rushed to hear about what happened because they had a hunch something had happened. As they thought, they soon heard about what had happened.

Lupa swiftly grabbed Nick’s arm and pulled him to the sparring area. It was obvious she was excited to fight after hearing how Vincent won without using Overheat.

Clair saw Nick getting stolen from her. She frowned and went to the kitchen to practice cooking alone.

Vivid and Pussy looked at each other. Both sighed and went after their masters.

*Lusterfall Noble Academy – Evening*

After the lesson with Maria ended, Jun Ye Rim didn’t teleport back to the island. She had one last free teleport charge after teleporting together with Vincent’s card in the morning.

Jun Ye Rim wanted to spend some alone time. Where ever she swiftly moved, everyone would at least take a peek at the only elf student and one with an eye-catching pure white hair.

Jun Ye Rim was annoyed even more today because a couple of students tried to start a conversation with her and ask for a match. Some even verbally threatened her, but all their words fell on deaf ears.

“The library is the only quiet place in this academy.” Jun Ye Rim murmured as she walked the flower garden full of couples hanging around.

“Please let me do it one more time. I know I can do better.”

Jun Ye Rim heard a familiar male’s voice talking. She moved her gaze out of annoyance to see who it was and saw a classmate acting strangely.

In the male classmate’s hands were a handful of silver coins. He was trying to give them to a female student of a different year.

The male classmate noticed someone looking at him. He turned his head and saw Jun Ye Rim.

“What are you looking at? You lousy elf.” He said in a demeaning tone.

Jun Ye Rim stopped looking and ignored him. Not even the slightest expression of discomfort was on her face. As if she was so used to being scorned that she became immune.

Jun Ye Rim resumed walking as if nothing had happened.

“I hope that elf won’t talk.” The female student said with a worried look.

“Don’t worry. That elf is a loner. I heard how she was also forced to participate in the ranking match. She is as useless as her broken arm.”

The male classmate mocked. He shrugged his shoulders and continued with their previous conversation. Jun Ye Rim didn’t look like a threat in his eyes.

However, this was perhaps an unlucky day for Jun Ye Rim.

Jun Ye Rim met with four more classmates doing the same thing, forcing her to hurry to the library. Only the safe space of silence and peace could allow her to see no one for hours.

Later that day, she saw Plow waiting for her in front of her bedroom. The happy little fox ran over to Jun Ye Rim and cuddled with her legs.

“Plow missed you.” *Pho* Plow cutely said.

Jun Ye Rim lifted Plow with one hand and smiled.

The little fox was the only one who could bring a happy smile to Jun Ye Rim’s face, and it made Plow happy to have an exclusive smile all for herself.

Jun Ye Rim’s smile was like a trophy to Plow.

*Day 144 – 30 October – Friday*

*Day 145 – 31 October – Saturday*

Saturday arrived after an ordinary Friday passed with only a few students bugging them for a ranking match.

Vincent teleported to the academy after Kazumi suggested it would be best to teleport alone. Before his eyes were many students in the arrival hall. It was easy to guess how his team was being targeted for an unranked match or to book a ranked match for next Thursday.

“F this, I’m out. ” Vincent said before teleporting back to team ten island.

After Vincent returned, another flash of light flashed.

“You were right, Vincent. They are really targeting us for a match.” Nick wiped his cold sweat and continued, “I thought they were zombies with a bad case of condescending gazes.”

“... Now I feel terrible for requesting to win once. I didn’t think this matter would escalate this extensively.” Nick said in an apologetic tone.

Nick was feeling bad when in his view, entered Lupa. She was running towards him with a grin on her face. Lupa looked cute, but to Nick, she was terrifying.

“Sparring partner number two. Let’s go have some fun, hehe.” Lupa cheerfully said.

“...” Nick looked at Vincent with a pitiful gaze and later followed Lupa.

[Why do I feel like Nick was going to his death? It’s not like Lupa is going to kill him on Vivid’s watch.]

“Nick probably wants to spend some time with Clair.” Vincent looked at the sky and giggled. “I bet Lupa is happy right now.”

[Yeah. At the expense of Nick’s body. Poor boy has to contend against that energetic, wild wolf girl.]

“I will give him a gift for his services then.”

[What is on your mind?] Kazumi curiously asked. She wondered what was on Vincent’s mind.

“I will ask Lilith to bring some of her makeup tomorrow from home. We will have to disguise ourselves every weekend for now.”

Kazumi became interested in this idea. She agreed and planned to offer some suggestions to Lilith.

Iris, Plow, Jun Ye Rim, and Zero were together on the opposite side of team ten island.

A few minutes ago, Jun Ye Rim was resting under a tree and enjoying the shade when Plow invited her to join Iris.

Plow acted cutely and asked a few times. A faint smile appeared on Jun Ye Rim’s face a while later.
