Of course.
After all is said and done, Samael definitely knew what the true reason was most clearly.
But so things were better left unsaid, especially under the circumstances of him still being the other party's ntor.
"Bastard! Tower Witch, I want to initiate a duel with you."
Samael had just refused on his end, when Elisa directly took out a square handkerchief and threw it at Lan Qingyou, and issued an application for a duel.
It instantly stunned Lan Qingyou, who had just finished discussing matters.
She slowly lowered her head, looking at that lace-edged white square handkerchief hanging on her clothes with an expression on her face that couldn't be added to.
What's the situation?
A duel?
Lan Qingyou, who still hadn't quite grasped the situation, raised her head with a face full of question marks and looked at the other party.
This wasn't over yet.
Just as Lan Qingyou raised her head to look at Elisa, another sentence popped out of Elisa's mouth that made people even more baffled.
"With Teacher's freedom and the Erald Tablet in your hands as the stakes."
"Ah?"
Hearing there were actually stakes, Lan Qingyou was directly dumbfounded.
"No, let's leave Professor Samael's matter aside for now. After all, that's soone else's freedom. If he wants to leave a year later, I definitely won't stop him. But what's the deal with the Erald Tablet?"
Yes.
Lan Qingyou never expected the other party to actually be eyeing the World Artifact in her hands?
True, the Erald Tablet could indeed be considered the holy scripture of Alchemists.
But to Lan Qingyou, this holder who would take it out to look at a couple of tis when she had nothing better to do, wanting to comprehend so heavenly secrets from it, she fundantally didn't think it was anything amazing.
It could be said that in this world, nobody understood the Erald Tablet better than her.
"Sigh..."
Right at this mont, Samael on the side sighed.
It wasn't to say that Lan Qingyou's words just now offended him, but rather he was sighing for his student.
"Elisa, why I rejected you, are you really not clear about it at all?"
Samael, having finished sighing, looked at his beloved disciple and asked.
To be honest, Elisa was a smart child. During the few years in university, she had basically learned almost all of his chemistry knowledge.
So for this student, he was proud.
But at the sa ti, he also felt pity for this student.
Because...
"Teacher, I..."
"Do you still rember the matter of you inviting back when you graduated with your doctorate?"
Elisa seed to want to say sothing, but was directly interrupted by Samael.
"I rember."
"Then do you still rember what I said at that ti?"
"Do not pursue the shadows of predecessors, but live out your own brilliance."
"Then did you achieve it?"
"I achieved it, Teacher. Now Alchemy is my everything, including the experints I wanted to conduct before are now being conquered by one by one."
"See, this is why I rejected you back then and now. Because in terms of concepts, we are fundantally unsuited to discuss anything together."
Samael sighed once again.
"Teacher, why must you say such words? I don't think I've done anything wrong."
"Do you rember my other sentence? That sentence you didn't say out loud just now?"
"..."
"Your research, regardless of which aspect it's considered from, should belong to the category of taboo, yet you are still researching it up until now, aren't you? And this is not sothing I can accept."
Seeing her research so intuitively denied by her Teacher, Elisa couldn't take it either.
She was seen trembling all over, then angrily shouting at Samael.
"But I obtained the recognition of this world's will! I even obtained the World Title given by the World Will! That proves my research is not wrong! My..."
"Clap!"
Just as Elisa was getting more and more agitated, a loud clapping sound echoed through the not-so-large third-floor spectator stand.
Everyone looked over and found it was that tall, thin, red cockscomb-headed guy called Tony Doni.
"Everyone, the one hour is almost up. Everyone better make preparations for battle."
"Don't bla for not reminding everyone. If you're just here to watch the fun, please surrender imdiately after entering the battlefield. After all, there are no Teleportation Arrays here to teleport back."
"If you want to go back, besides surrendering, presumably the only other way is to die in the arena."
Teacher Tony uncharacteristically did not perform those delicate movents, but instead very manfully explained the pros and cons of this battle clearly to all the Clan Leaders.
This instantly shifted everyone's attention.
Oh right!
Reminded by this cockscomb head, the crowd only then rembered that there seed to be no Teleportation Arrays here.
If they wanted to go back, perhaps it really was only those two thods he ntioned.
"Tower Witch, regarding the matter of the duel, since Elisa has already thrown the square handkerchief, then according to the etiquette of nobles, you are required to accept it. But whether you actually accept it or not is your personal freedom, and we have no right to interfere with this."
After Teacher Tony stood out and reminded everyone, he looked towards the already clear-headed Lan Qingyou.
"Not accepting, not accepting. I'm not so bullshit noble."
Lan Qingyou waved her hand with a face full of disgust and rolled her eyes at Teacher Tony.
Oh, the other party threw a square handkerchief at her, and she had to act according to the other party's bullshit 'etiquette'.
Then what did that make her?
What 'personal freedom', 'no right to interfere'. Then you fucking shouldn't have spoken that crap about noble etiquette earlier.
Saying that before saying the latter part, anyone who heard it would consider it a disguised soft threat, right.
What a joke.
Am I the type of woman who can be manipulated by others?
Thus, Lan Qingyou once again looked at Tony and Elisa with a very obviously disgusted face.
"Hurry up and scram."
"Hmph..."
Elisa, who was frightened by Lan Qingyou's order to leave, looked at her ntor, then looked at her companions around her, and ultimately did not continue arguing with Lan Qingyou.
"Then let's wait and see. We will et in the arena."
"Even if we et, I won't bet anything with you. Besides, you haven't even stated your conditions. One can imagine it's just a passionate impulse. I stress Equivalent Exchange; your conditions fundantally have no equality whatsoever."
Hearing Lan Qingyou say this, Elisa, who had already turned around, imdiately stopped in her tracks, then slightly turned her head and looked at Lan Qingyou out of the corner of her eye.
Compared to the agitated Elisa from before, the current Elisa was so calm she seed like a different person.
"Equivalent Exchange, huh? Then what if I am willing to hand over all my research results to date?"
Not good! My words were seized!
Why do you have such a foul mouth, you just had to add that. Now look, she's pestering again.
Lan Qingyou now had the urge to slap herself hard across the face.
"Hmph, then it depends on what kind of research results they are. If it's just how to make Slis into jelly, then that's definitely not enough."
So people, even if they die, their mouths will still be hard.
What Lan Qingyou displayed right now was the perfect embodint of this sentence.
Perhaps towards others she wouldn't even deign to speak an extra couple of sentences, but for so unknown reason, facing an Elisa who was so similar to herself, she sowhat couldn't maintain her ordinary state of mind.
