Picked up a Demon King to be a Maid Vol 1 Chapter 10

Loran Academy

Teacher’s office.

“You really challenged Lin Xiao to a duel?” The bearded white-haired teacher, Woos, was depressed and spoke with a criticizing tone.

After class, he called Caesar to the office. He had planned to discuss another important topic with him. He then heard the news that Caesar had challenged Lin Xiao to a duel, which really scared him.

Caesar and Lin Xiao were both good students, he did not deliberately favor either party. Although he was very curious about who was stronger between Caesar and Lin Xiao after the last magic test. However, he definitely does not want the two of them to determine it through a duel!

The duel is different from real combat drills organized by the school. There is no protection in the duel. Only two magicians, will stand on the duel field to fight for their own reputation and glory. In order to completely defeat the opponent!

The most terrifying thing in a duel is not being injured, it’s defeat!

Prior to this, similar events had occurred numerous times in Loran Academy. Because of the duel between students, a student who was seriously injured had to drop out of school. Once sustaining an incurable injury, their future would be ruined!

Even if they weren’t injured, the party that loses the duel will be devastated, lose their reputation, lose their dignity, be laughed at by their classmates, looked down by everyone, and become deteriorating trash which would destroy their lives!

Caesar and Lin Xiao were both supposed to be two promising youngsters, both of which could be valued equally. Woos did not want to see any one of them lose their future

prospects because they lost the duel.

“Teacher…” Caesar stood in front of Woos and bowed his head in earnest, but his eyes remained firm.

Teacher Woos is one of his highly respected teachers, but he obviously didn’t intend to make concessions here. The duel couldn’t be revoked again!

“What happened?” Woos was unwilling and couldn’t help but ask.

He heard from other students that at the beginning, Lin Xiao was calm and composed when he faced the invitation to fight against Caesar.

In order to avoid this meaningless duel, Lin Xiao compromised and acknowledged his own weakness, which made Caesar lose the sole goal of the duel. He then started preaching about principles, which clearly showed Caesar his dream. It clearly showed him his enemy and thus calmed Caesar’s anger.

This maturity and eloquence, even Woos couldn’t help but want to give Lin Xiao a thumbs up. In terms of magical talent, Lin Xiao couldn’t compare to Caesar, but in terms of principles and aspirations, I am afraid that even ten Caesars wouldn’t be able to match Lin Xiao.

Many times, Woos couldn’t believe that Lin Xiao is only a fifteen-year-old child. The way Lin Xiao handled this incident was enough to see his tolerance.

However, why did Caesar, who should have given up the duel, change his mind? Woos was still unclear about what happened afterwards.

“It was Lin Xiao’s maid, Elena.” Caesar did not hide anything and narrated what happened in full detail.

Elena’s ridicule and derision destroyed his path of retreat. Under those circumstances, no brave man with a backbone could withdraw.

He could only defend his honor by winning the duel!

“What? That maid said that you and Lin Xiao are not magicians of the

the same level? Are you sure you didn’t hear it wrong?” Woos was shocked.

“No, that’s right!” Caesar said. “If it wasn’t for her provocation, I would’ve already given up on the duel.”

“That’s strange…” Woos scratched his head in pain, his white hair became more and more unkempt.

Speaking of Lin Xiao’s maid, Woos’ head began to hurt.

First of all, that girl Elena’s background, was a complete mystery. Silver hair, red eyes, and peerless beauty. Woos has lived for quite a long time, but he has never seen a family with a bloodline of silver hair and red eyes. He only knows that the other person’s name is Elena, a slave to Lin Xiao, or a maid. Anyways, a servant.

What’s strange is that, how dare a mere servant ridicule Prince Caesar in front of a crowd and say that Caesar and Lin Xiao are not magicians of the same level?

She must have known that Lin Xiao was willing to concede in order to avoid this duel and even lose face. Yet, Lin Xiao’s maid actually dared to go against her master, deliberately provoking Caesar, wasting Lin Xiao’s efforts.

Why? Why would she do that?

“Not magicians of the same level?” Woos suddenly thought of a possibility.

As a maid, Elena probably wouldn’t lie, nor would she deliberately embarrass her master, so there is only one reasonable explanation —— that girl called Elena wasn’t lying! She was only defending her master’s honor and telling the truth!

In other words —— Lin Xiao and Caesar, the two of them are not magicians of the same level!

“How is that possible? Last month’s magic test, he was still at the beginning of the second-level. It’s already a miracle

a miracle to be able to break through the third-level in one month!” Hearing Woos’ conjecture, Caesar instantly became agitated. “I’m a third level, he is also a third-level, how are we not the same level?”

“Caesar, have you ever thought of another possibility?” Woos said faintly, “Lin Xiao was perhaps hiding his true strength.”

“What!?” Caesar’s eyes widened.

Although this was a simple conjecture, it was like Caesar was struck with lightning.

In his view, it was a no-brainer to use all of his strength in the magic test. The one-track minded him never even considered the possibility that there were still people who were willing to hide their strength.

“Although some people suspect that Lin Xiao cheated in the test, but as the chief examiner that day, I can confirm that Lin Xiao did not cheat.” Woos explained, “If Lin Xiao didn’t cheat, it’s almost impossible to break through the third-level from the second in one month unless he deliberately concealed his strength before, that’s how he was able to have such an astonishing breakthrough.”

“Impossible!” Caesar shook his head and denied it.

“It’s just a conjecture, if that little girl didn’t lie.” Woos smiled faintly and didn’t argue with him.

In fact, there was still a speculation that Woos didn’t speak of. Lin Xiao is a member of the Eastern tribe. Woos guessed that the Eastern tribe may have special training methods and that’s how Lin Xiao’s strength could advance by leaps and bounds.

Of course, no matter what kind of secret traaining methods Lin Xiao hid, how he improved his magic, Woos will not interfere too much as a teacher. He wouldn’t covet after the secret methods and do things that are not conducive are not conducive to Lin Xiao, he just wants to protect his cute students as much as possible.

What Woos didn’t know was that after listening to his speculation, Caesar’s fighting spirit was even stronger!

Is Lin Xiao really hiding his strength? Is he really stronger than himself? Caesar secretly clenched his fists and made up his mind to prove himself in the duel!

“Cough-, in short, I’ve said everything that I need to say. If you insist on a duel, I will not stop you.”

Woos understood that he shouldn’t try to stop the duel anymore. Although he is Caesar’s teacher, but Caesar was a prince. He has no right to interfere with Caesar’s decision. For this duel, he can only silently be a bystander.

“Thank you, Teacher Woos.” Seeing the teacher’s consent, Caesar retracted his arrogance and asked politely. “Teacher Woos, you still haven’t said why you called me?”

“Oh… I’m getting older, I almost forgot.” Woos awkwardly chuckled. “Next week the school organized an actual combat drill, we’ll take you outside and get some practical experience. I was originally going to let you lead the team and bring them out, but…”

“But?”

“Ah, forget it… I will use this old weary body and come personally, it’ll be troublesome if anything went wrong.” Woos sighed reluctantly and touched his fragile lower back, “That’s right, when’s your duel with Lin Xiao?”

“After the actual combat drill, the school’s duel field. Please rest assured teacher Woos, I will never delay the actual drill because of personal matters!” Caesar patted his chest to guarantee.

“Sigh, you youngsters…”

The duel is scheduled to be after the actual drill, so it was about half a month away. Maybe something will happen during this period?
