Picked up a Demon King to be a Maid Vol 1 Chapter 16

As for Mr. Woos’ shout, it went into one of Lin Xiao’s ears and come out the other. He was still immersed in his experiments with Elena.

The power of the Demon King is too useful!

“Elena, what’s my true strength?” Lin Xiao asked as he pointed towards himself.

“You?” Elena glanced at him disdainfully. “Intermediate fourth-level, according to the categorization by humans, you should be an intermediate magician.”

First-level magic power, are known as apprentice magicians; second and third level, the junior magicians; fourth and fifth level, the intermediate magicians; sixth and seventh level, the senior magicians; the eighth and ninth level, grand magicians. Above 9th level, who the hell knows.

“Huh… How did I raise a level again? I was obviously only beginner fourth-level a while back.” After listening to the words of Elena, Lin Xiao held his head in pain. “Did I sleep in too much lately? Haa~ This talent of gaining magic power while sleeping is really troublesome, I gotta be more careful in the future.”

“Hmph, is an intermediate magician powerful?” Elena smiled coldly, with a deep contempt for Lin Xiao in her speech. “If I regained my strength, I can easily swat an intermediate magician to death with a flick of my paws.”

Fortunately, when Elena spoke, there was no one around, otherwise if any students heard, they will probably get so mad and burst a blood vessel and die on the spot.

Question, is an intermediate magician very powerful? The answer, of course, is no, they are not that powerful.

If we look at the entire continent of Eileen, intermediate magicians are not that strong. Even if one was an ordinary person, as long as he persists in meditation for ten or so years, he can become an intermediate magician.

The problem is that Lin Xiao is only a freshman at Loran Academy. Yet at just 15 years old, his magic power is already intermediate fourth-level, which is very powerful! Even if it is the genius Caesar, the first ranked of the magic department, is only at beginner third-level. Lin Xiao is

stronger than him by more than a whole level!

This kind of gift couldn’t be described as just “awesome” anymore, it could only be described as nature-defying.

The talent of gaining magic power while sleeping is simply too strong!

It’s a pity that my strength is still nowhere near the strength of the red-eyed black cat…

“Hey Elena, you’re the strongest, that’s why you’re a demon king and I’m just a lowly human, you can easily swat me to death with a flick of your claws.” Lin Xiao said helplessly.

“Hmph, it’s good that you understand.”

“It seems to be my turn. If I don’t go now, teacher Woos is gonna scold me. You just stay here obediently!”

“Whatever.”

“Answer properly. Also, Elena, what should you call me?”

“……master.”

“Yeah, very good!”

“Damn pervert.” Elena cursed quietly.

On the other side of the field, teacher Woos has been waiting impatiently.

“Lin Xiao? Lin Xiao! Where did that damn kid go?” he shouted angrily.

After shouting for a long time, there was still no sign of Lin Xiao, and the students on the scene couldn’t help but start gossiping.

“Hey, do you think that Lin Xiao is too scared to come?”

“Nonsense I tell you, he’ll definitely blow everyone away in this test!”

“How do you know that? Lin Xiao’s performance has always been mediocre.”

“Have you forgotten? He’s the only Eastern tribe in our academy…”

Originally, not many people were concerned about Lin Xiao’s test, but today it is different. The entire magic department heard the news —— the genius Caesar challenged Lin Xiao to a duel!

Who will win the duel? Everyone was very curious.

Although today was just an ordinary qualification exam, the strength that these two displays would undoubtedly be great reference material. Most students believe that Caesar will definitely defeat Lin Xiao. However, a few students believe that Lin Xiao has always performed well, he perseveres and slowly accumulated experience. Perhaps he found some tricks to improve his magic power recently. It is not impossible for him to surpass Caesar!

In order to personally see how strong Lin Xiao is, and thus more accurately predict the outcome of the duel, the students surrounded the test

test site and the number of people watching the battle surpassed the number that watched Caesar’s test.

“I’m coming!”

Lin Xiao ran hurriedly and squeezed into the crowd.

“Too slow!” said Mr. Woos, dissatisfied. “Hurry up Lin Xiao, stand here and attack the wooden puppet with magic.”

“Understood, teacher!”

“Lin Xiao…” Woos suddenly bent down and spoke to Lin Xiao at a volume that the surrounding students could not hear. “You saw Caesar’s performance earlier, right?”

“Yea, what’s up?”

“Wooden puppets are very cheap, I don’t mind even if another gets destroyed.” Woos smiled suggestively. “The other students are also looking forward to your performance.”

“Oh… okay!” Lin Xiao agreed.

He naturally understood Woos’s suggestion. If it was his previous self, he would have definitely ignored the teacher’s prompt, and just randomly thrown a small fireball and hit the puppet to pass the test.

That is his usual motto, live on the low-key and conceal your strength. But the problem is that no matter how weak he pretends to be, there is a fact that will not change —— after the actual combat drill, he has to duel with Caesar!

As for Caesar, Lin Xiao did not resent him, he actually admired him.

Caesar was born superior to others and he could have chosen to enjoy a quiet life of wealth and glory, but he chose to join Loran Academy and chose a road full of thorns. He is young, talented, and ambitious. In Lin Xiao’s opinion, he is the best candidate for the next hero!

Of course, it is not because Caesar is easy to deceive, nor because he is gullible, or innocent.

What is giving Lin Xiao a headache is that Caesar wants to duel him no matter what. What should he do? Regardless if he wins or loses, this duel is disadvantageous for Lin Xiao.

“All because of that idiot of Elena. Ahhhh. What should I do to get out of this duel…” Lin Xiao gloomily said to himself.

“Lin Xiao! Focus and stop talking, hurry up and attack the puppets!” Woos urged.

“Okay, okay…” Lin Xiao regained his focus and thought he should just take out his anger on the puppet.

the puppet. “Damn it, then I’ll also blow up the puppet.”

He sighed and imitated the posture of Caesar, he slowly raised his right hand.

He is now at intermediate fourth-level, and Caesar is only beginner third-level. In order to not cause a commotion, he only has to use a portion of his magic power, reducing his magic level to approximately the same as Caesar’s.

Let’s think about the duel later… I should first think about passing the selection test.

Lin Xiao chants.

“Fireball!”

Magic circuit completed.

The fiery red six-pointed star suddenly appeared.

“Explode!”

……

……

Field behind the big tree

None of the students heard the whispers of Lin Xiao and Elena, but one person heard it!

“Oh god, I…, what have I heard!!” Afu looked dazed, standing like a statue behind the big tree.

He could not hear a lot of the conversation due to the interference of noise, but there was one sentence that he was sure he did not mishear!

「Is an intermediate magician really that powerful? I could kill an intermediate magician with a flick of my paws.」

He will never forget the look of the maid when she spoke —— disdain, contempt, and a little bit of pride. Her emotions were so natural and reasonable, as natural as if someone told you that he could easily pinch an ant to death.

Of course, you would not think he is lying, and he would not think he is bragging because “it’s easy to pinch ants to death” is true.

Yes, the maid was definitely stating a “fact.”

“But…who’s the intermediate magician, is it Lin Xiao? I can’t believe that the magic level of that boy has already broken through the fourth level! My God, hasn’t he only joined Loran Academy for half a year? He’s only 15 years old!”

Even if Lin Xiao was from the Eastern tribe and there was a secret technique, is it even possible to progress so fast? If that was true, wouldn’t everyone of the Eastern tribe be top magicians?

Afu felt dizzy.

“Wait, that’s not right, the focus is on the maid, called Elena… She just said that she can easily swat an intermediate magician to death, what kind death, what kind of strength does she have!? Is she a senior magician? Or a senior soldier? In addition, why not beat, hack, kill, stab, but… swat to death?”

How do you swat one to death?

Will she use her tender white little hands to swat people to death? Such a beautiful and charming girl, how can she swat anyone to death?

“No matter how I look, it doesn’t seem like she can swat anyone to death?”

That smooth and supple skin of her palm, it is possible to die of happiness if someone was slapped by her.

Staring at the pretty maid from afar, an indescribable feeling arose in Afu’s chest.

“Huh?” Elena, who was being stared at, seemed to feel something and suddenly turned around.

“Shit!” Afu quickly retracted his sights and hid behind the tree, but Elena only glanced at him suspiciously, then turned back around and ignored him.

Afu breathed a sigh of relief and thought that the other party did not notice him. However, Elena’s superior perception has long discovered his existence, but since he was not hostile, the prideful maid was too lazy to bother with him.

“Next…” Afu sorted out the current information he had.

Lin Xiao has already gone to the test. If he was really a fourth-level magician, then this kind of test should be a cinch for him.

The eavesdropping task is going smoothly, but he would not gain anymore information even if he stayed, and Miss Rosie’s test is about to begin next. Afu thought about it and decided to go back to Miss and report the current information.

But how should he report it? Should he just say that Elena can swat someone to death? —— If he does not handle it properly, he will be treated like an idiot and harshly scolded by Miss Rosie.

Stealthily peeping out from behind the tree, Afu gazed at the beautiful girl with silver hair and red eyes and did not want to leave.

“This girl’s appearance is quite good and so is her body. But…. is she a fool?”

He believes that Elena must be crazy and that is why she spoke those words.
