"So, you didn't do it of your own accord? You only want to save because you are scared of my brother? And are you even scared of him? I am pretty sure you scared him witless the first ti that you t him.", Alia spoke to Liu Feng, her voice growing more and more louder. Her eyes seed to be looking for an answer in Liu Feng's own.
"Well, I do need your brother's approval to get your hand right. He will be the future king of Elvan. How could I possibly afford to offend soone like that? If I want to marry you, I have to have his permission, right?", Liu Feng smiled, but inside, he knew that he didn't actually answer the question properly. He rely started a detour, and the real question was yet to be answered.
"Hmph! I don't need my brother's permission to marry so one. I just don't know who that so one is.", Alia said, pouting.
"Stop chit chatting, and pack up. We will be leaving in five.", Cordelia said, as she passes by the both of them. "Especially you two. Since we began, I saw both of you speaking to each other non stop. Jibber Jabber. Why don't you pay attention to your surroundings to make sure that so beast doesn't co out of nowhere and kill you all."
Liu Feng nodded, and Cordelia left them alone. She went to so other students to talk to them about so thing, but Liu Feng did not care. He looked around once to see what was going on, and then took a magic stone from his bag. He started engraving a magic circle on it with a scalpel that he had in his bad, handy for any ti in need.
"Are you crazy? Drawing a magic circle requires a lot of concentration, and any mistake will lead to an explosion. Do you want to kill us all?", Alia asked, surprised and shocked at Liu Feng's recklessness.
"Done. I was just trying out a magic circle that I saw soone use. It was that spatial one. I wanted a more convenient way to store my luggage.", Liu Feng took the magic stone, and put the scalpel back from where he took it. "Okay then, now that I have a spatial stone, I can get rid of this stupid burden. It was weighing down and it is getting really inconvenient." He poured mana into the magic stone, and the bag on his back suddenly disappeared. Then, Liu Feng released so more mana into the stone, and it reappeared back on Liu Feng's back. (Pun intended)
"You, you, you drew a spatial magic circle? Impossible! How did you do that? All the artifacts that have spatial abilities are at least a few thousand years old.", Alia looked at Liu Feng with widened eyes and an open mouth.
"Close your mouth. We are in the forest, literally the breeding grounds for all flies and pests. You don't want them going into your mouth.", Liu Feng warned her.
"Forget all that! How did you make that spatial stone? And just in a matter of minutes, right in the front of my eyes. And I did not see how you did it. Oh god, if grandmaster Luo hears that I did this, he will personally co here to murder .", Alia said with the sa shock, but with a louder voice.
"Well, it is what it is. Now don't make a ruckus. Here, give your luggage, I still have a little space left in my stone. I an, you do understand the convenience of such a stone, right?"
Alia said, "I don't need it. I have my own spatial artifact. Who do you think I am? I am the princess of the great kingdom of Elvan. Do you think that I would lack sothing like a spatial stone? I just chose not to show it off.", Alia said as she flashed a ring on her finger at Liu Feng's face.
"What? You're married?", Liu Feng laughed.
Not minding his taunt, she put her luggage in the ring that she brought by injecting mana into it. Just like in the spatial stone that Liu Feng had just made, the spatial stone that Alia had took in all her luggage in an instant, and it was as if it was never there.
"By the way, I can't see the boy who teased . That boy with that red stripes shirt. Oh god! He angers so much, I want to kill him myself. But, he is a duke's son! I can't so that even as a princess. So then, where is he? What, did you kill him or sothing?", Alia joked, but there was a hint of hesitation in her voice.
"Yup, he died. I put so mana in him and exploded it. Since the monsters ca, people thought that the monsters killed him. How did you know though?" Liu Feng said with the sa nonchalant attitude.
"You're joking right?", Alia trembled.
"Of course I am. Why would I kill a human? The monsters killed him.", Liu Feng said half-heartedly. He did not want anyone to know that he actually killed a duke's son. With him pinning the bla on that teacher, everything was going his way. But, if anyone even remotely tied Liu Feng to the death, then he would have all sorts of problems, fore most being the hostility of Glade. Although Liu Feng was sure that Glade would beco an enemy in the future, he did not want to fix that in stone without confirming the terrible hypothesis that he had.
"So he's really dead? That's unfortunate.", Alia said dejectedly.
"There is absolutely nothing unfortunate about his death. Why do you sound so sad? That boy was an first grade bastard. Only good ca out of that incident. Did you know that -", Liu Feng spoke when suddenly.
"Stop talking. I already warned you Liu Feng. There won't be another ti.", Cordelia snapped.
Liu Feng quickly apologized, as he certainly did not want to offend the top dog on the first few days. Cordelia was the teacher who was in charge of the food, and for that matter, almost anything at all. Liu Feng certainly did not want to go hungry on this trip. He would do his best not to offend Marcus, so although it was very difficult for Liu Feng, he shut his mouth.
The students were all quite exhausted, and hungry. Everyone could hear stomach's grumbling by now. Cordelia smiled and said, "Well, it is ti to eat after all. So, why doesn't everyone who submitted the wood or water line up so that they can get food?"
All the students were stunned. About eight people, including Liu Feng and Alia, lined up to eat. The other students protested, "How is this fair. There were people dying. We had to run. Why do they get food and we don't?"
"You are being unfair! First, you allow the students to die, and now you are denying us food? What do you think you are doing? We are very important people.", Again, another student pitched in.
"Quiet!", Cordelia shouted, silencing everyone there before the matter blew up once again. "The forest is equally dangerous everywhere. I said before that whoever brings the water or wood will get food, and the rest will not. You should have listened to then itself. Why quip now? You are all just idiots. You don't listen. When I first gathered all of you in the academy grounds. what did I tell you? Listen to my every command. And did you? Let this be a reminder for next ti. These students brought the firewood and water that is needed for cooking. Well, rudintary cooking, that is."
The students who got the food weren't very happy either.
"What is with the food? There isn't any at. How will I eat without at? I need at!", one of them shouted.
"So then why don't you go hunt a few rabbits for us all? at attracts monsters, and makes it too dangerous. We have to stick with plant diets during the trip.", Cordelia reprimanded everyone who was protesting.
Liu Feng and Alia ate, as everyone watched. Alia felt pity, and was about to offer the food when Liu Feng held her hand to stop her.
"If they can watch a boy wrong a girl without doing anything, then watching us eat while on an empty stomach should be fairly easy shouldn't it?"
"Huh? What are you talking about?", Alia asked Liu Feng.
"Right, you didn't know. That duke's son, he attacked a girl and tried to do certain unspeakable things with her. All these people, they were forming a circle around all of this, as if it were a show, and not one of them stopped it.", Liu Feng said, his voice cold as ice itself.
The arm that reached out to offer food imdiately shot back as Alia looked at all the students with disgust.
All the students looked down in sha.
