Picked up a Demon King to be a Maid Chapter 116

The next day.

Loran Academy

Competition grounds

The top four fights of the Intramural Selection Competition that everyone had their eyes on was about to begin.

Magic swordsman Caesar cut his way through to the top four without a single loss. His next opponent was just excellent student from the warrior department, who was already scared shivering before the duel even began. It seems like Caesar's victory was only a matter of time, the only thing he had to be concerned with was the finals.

Since Caesar was too strong, not many people cared about his duel, in contrast,「Shen DaiYing VS Lin Xiao」was the duel that drew the most attention. No one could have thought that Lin Xiao was actually able to enter the top four, and even have the chance to fight for the throne in the finals, isn't that absurd?

Recalling the previous duel, everyone was convinced by Lin Xiao's good luck.

Yes, thoroughly convinced. Ever since the competition started, Lin Xiao hasn't even fought one duel! His opponents either forfeited of their own accord or was forced to, anyways there hasn't been anyone that has fought him seriously.

If this happened only once or twice, everyone would just curse his luck, but after it continuously happening, no one dared to make light of it.

Lin Xiao's luck couldn't just be described with ‘good' anymore, it was simply god-like, he might even have the Goddess' Protection! Otherwise, why did all his opponents forfeit? It must be because the Gods are protecting him, so he can successfully advance!

Thus, the nature of this duel changed, Lin Xiao: S-level muddler, 5-star luck, selected by the Gods, Goddess' Divine Protection. On the other hand, Shen DaiYing: Great Qin Empire princess, sharp sword skills, immaculate sword dancer.

Goddess' Divine Protection VS Immaculate Sword Dancer. Was Lin Xiao's luck stronger, or was Shen DaiYing's sword faster?

The answer was soon to be revealed.

Rosie, Elena, and the other students were assembled at the large practice range, staring at the two students on stage with burning intensity, eagerly looking forward to the fight.

Shen DaiYing, Lin Xiao, the two were standing on opposite sides, looking at one another, neither saying a word.

Since it was the top four, there were two judges today, magic department Woos, and warrior department Momm.

“Hehe, teacher Momm, it must be tough on you today.” Woos stoked his white beard while speaking politely.

“Tough? No, this is my responsibility, what's tough about it?”

“No, no, no.” Woos smiled, “Three of the top four are students from the magic department, and in today's duel, both Shen DaiYing and Lin Xiao are my students, you're the warrior department teacher, and yet you had to specially come here to be a judge, of course it's tough.”

After hearing his words, Momm's face was like a red-hot boiler, bubbling with anger!

“You!! Damn old man, what do you mean? Are you trying to pick a fight?”

“Hehe, teacher Momm, as a teacher, you can't get angry… hahaha!” The usually stiff Woos actually broke out into laughter that was unbridled with smugness.

Shen DaiYing, Lin Xiao, and Caesar, three magic department students all made it into the top four, and only a nameless student, that was soon to be finished off by Caesar, was left from the previously favored warrior department. Even Hurricane Sam who was thought to have been able to lift up the warrior department forfeited for some reason, the entire department was wiped out.

In other words, the top two spots were already in the magic department's pockets! This year, the magic department changed their usual decline and made a enormous comeback!

Woos actually wasn't even interested in the next duel, no matter who the final winner was, Lin Xiao, Shen DaiYing, or Caesar, he didn't care, he was happy enough seeing Momm forced to surrender!

“Hmph, damn old man, don't get too arrogant!” Momm emotionally retorted, “Lin Xiao can't beat Sam, if it wasn't for Sam forfeiting, how would Lin Xiao make it this far?”

“Cough… is that so?” Woos gently coughed and declined to comment.

“Take a look! Now that Lin Xiao's opponent is Shen DaiYing, his luck has run out!” Momm confidently stated.

That's right, in front of Shen DaiYing, no methods or luck would work, because she hasn't yet tasted defeat, and instakilled Rosie, she was breathtaking!

Thinking about that, Momm became even more angry!

Shen DaiYing has clearly been using swords the whole time, why is she representing the magic department?

Caesar was a magic swordsman, so it was understandable to represent the magic department, but Shen DaiYing doesn't even know any magic, yet because her fiance is in the magic department, so she's also representing the magic department, leading the entire warrior department to get wiped out, Momm cant accept it.

Of course, it was already too late to say anything, he could only take out his anger on Lin Xiao.

“Princess, I'm counting on you!” Momm walked next to Shen DaiYing and quietly said, “Please defeat Lin Xiao, and uphold the warrior department's last shred of dignity!”

“Eh? Teacher Momm?” Shen DaiYing awkwardly laughed, “Upholding dignity and whatnot… please don't place too much hope into me, I don't have much confidence in this duel, I can only do my best.”

Hearing Shen DaiYing's unconfident statement, Momm became petrified.

“What? Unconfident? Why? Your opponent is Lin Xiao!” Momm almost yelled.

Facing that S-level muddler, the undefeated princess actually lost confidence?

“Un… it's because it's him, that's why I'm not confident.” Shen DaiYing sighed, “He's actually very strong.”

She has actually personally witnessed his real strength, although other's may not know, but she did.

“You're saying that he's very strong? Hah?”

Momm looked back and took a glance at Lin Xiao, and gulped at a loss.

It was either he's crazy, or Shen DaiYing was crazy, how was Lin Xiao strong? He couldn't see it!

“Teacher Momm, enough with the nonsense, come announce the start of the duel with me.” Woos urged from the side.

“Hurry and start! Why is it still not starting!!!”

“Hey, baldy, what are you saying to the princess? You better not be harassing her!”

Not only Woos, but the students were also getting impatient, started jeering, and urging them to start the duel.

Momm had no choice but to announce the start of the duel with Woos, the quickly retreated and left the stage to the two contestants.

Shen DaiYing VS Lin Xiao, the match has officially started!

The audience all widened their eyes, afraid that the match would end instantly like before!

But they were disappointed.

Neither of the two moved on stage, but began whispering to one another.

Shen DaiYing today was like the usual charming princess, wearing her black silk stocking and high heels, but the only difference was the untimely faint blush, like she was a shy girl.

“Lin Xiao, that… about yesterday… you actually misunderstood.” She took a step forward, closed the gap between them and spoke in a voice that only the two could hear, “The person you saw wasn't actually me.”

“Wasn't you?” Lin Xiao helplessly scratched his head, “If it wasn't you, then how did you know I met you yesterday?”

“Wuuu…”

Her poor lie was instantly exposed, Shen DaiYing could only bitterly smile.

“Then, please forget about it.”

“Sorry… I can't do that.” Lin Xiao shook his head.

“Why not?”

“I already said, I would be happy to become your companion.”

“But Lin Xiao, I also said, I don't need anyone's help… don't forget, I'm Caesar's fiancee.” Shen DaiYing once again bitterly smiled, “Also, I actually… no, never mind, hehe.”

Shen DaiYing stopped mid-sentence and didn't continue, she touched the short sword Soul Slayer at her waist, and helplessly shook her head.

At this time, they heard clamoring coming from the crowd.

“Hey, why aren't you guys fighting! What are you talking about?”

“Damn it, that Lin Xiao is taking this chance to chat with the princess?”

“Hey, I heard that Lin Xiao likes princess Shen DaiYing!”

“Eh? Really? But the princess is prince Caesar's fiancee! How could he…”

Hearing that gossip, Lin Xiao had thick skin and couldn't care less, but Shen DaiYing was getting embarrassed.

“Cough… Lin Xiao, bring out your real strength. Regardless of what I say, you have to at least defeat me first, right?” Shen DaiYing narrowed her eyes, her beautiful open smile was incomparably charming, “If you don't even have that kind of strength, how could you help me?”

“Sister Ying…” Lin Xiao let out a deep sigh.

Should he do it? Does he have to defeat his dream girl in front of everyone?

He didn't want to, but he had to.

Beneath the stage, other than they rowdy students, he saw two familiar people.

Elena was still expressionless as usual, uninterested in this child's play. With the magic crystal, she had no need to come and watch, but she actually unprecedentedly asked to come with him.

After returning home yesterday, Elena didn't say anything, no matter how Lin Xiao asked, she wouldn't tell him where she went, and buried everything she saw and heard deep down in her heart. And today, she stubbornly came to watch, Lin Xiao was puzzled.

Next to her, the cute Miss Rosie was cheering for Lin Xiao.

Before the match, she said this to Lin Xiao.

“As long as you defeat Shen DaiYing, then she can't participate in the Academy Tournament, that way she would lose the opportunity to fight next to Caesar! So Lin Xiao, you can only win, you can't lose!”

For the plan to break up their engagement, and also to prove his strength to Shen DaiYing, Lin Xiao had to win this match!
