Chapter 49 - Seraphine Threatens King

Chapter 49: 49 - Seraphine Threatens King

As for King ’talking to himself’, Seraphine did not care. The only thing on her mind right now was the image of Elias, skinny, covered in blood, and unconscious. Even worse, King was carrying Elias like a bag of stuff he had just bought from the supermarket.

With the mindset of someone in a hurry, Seraphine immediately assumed that King was the culprit who had hurt Elias like this because King had quite a lot of blood on him and his sword was covered in blood.

From her wand, streams of cold air were constantly being released. As long as King said anything that made her even angrier, he would immediately turn into an ice statue.

The veins on King’s forehead bulged, and his facial muscles twisted in extreme displeasure. Did she think that just because she was the female lead, she could do whatever she wanted?

"System, is she hiding her strength? This is way too weak."

King did not rush into a fight but asked the system doubtfully. Comparing the feeling of Seraphine’s mana to what Rudy gave him, he felt that Rudy was on a much higher level.

[Master, you are rank IV, while she is only rank II. Compared to you, her strength is very weak, so that’s why you feel this way. She is extremely angry right now, so she isn’t hiding her strength.]

"Huh? Why is she only rank II?"

King’s eyes widened slightly. This was a little different from what he had expected. He thought that a genius should at least be rank III.

[She has only been enrolled for a year. At this speed, she’s already a top genius in this world.]

"Oh, only a year? Then why does she like Elias?"

The more he listened, the more curious King became about the romantic relationship between these two ’abnormal’ people. He had thought they were from the same generation, but it turned out that wasn’t the case.

[Actually, she and Elias don’t really have any relationship at all. Seraphine happened to see Elias and was very impressed by his perseverance, so she developed admiration for him. And she’s shy too, so she has never said it directly and only secretly had people keep an eye on him.]

"You’re kidding? Why does she sound more and more like a pervert?"

King had already been annoyed with Seraphine, but after hearing the system tell him more about her, he suddenly felt like laughing.

While King wanted to laugh, Seraphine’s expression grew darker and darker. Seeing him keep talking nonsense, with the person he was communicating with not even being her, made her furious.

Being ignored like this was a huge humiliation to a genius like her who was always the center of attention.

"How dare you hurt Elias and still ignore me? You are adding crime to crime. You have already chosen the path to your death!"

Seraphine screamed, her eyes filled with murderous intent. As she spoke, she waved her wand and shot out a stream of deadly cold air that flew toward King.

Faced with the ’super fast’ cold air, King did not even bother to look closely. The thought of forcefully taking the attack head-on that had just appeared in his mind was immediately extinguished.

King would not be frozen or suffer cold burns just because of this little bit of cold air, but his body would definitely get wet. The feeling of being wet was not pleasant, so he gently sidestepped to avoid it.

His effortless evasive movement shocked Seraphine. How could a swordsman move this fast?

At this moment, her thoughts were no different from those of the people King had killed earlier. It was the feeling of having her beliefs collapse after learning that mages were not the beings at the top of this world, much less the ’chosen ones’.

"You... how can you?!"

Her pupils dilated, and her voice came out broken. She truly did not want to believe that a genius mage like her could not do anything to a mere ’weakling’ who used a sword.

With his expression darkening, King naturally could not be bothered to answer Seraphine. The look in his eyes as he stared at her grew more and more ’evil’.

Daring to attack King meant she had to pay the price. Even though he would not kill her because she was the female lead, he definitely had to retaliate.

"Hmph, so what if you’re the female lead? Today, if I don’t make you see the might of a reader, I’ll write my name backwards."

King’s low voice startled Seraphine. Although she did not know what he intended to do, she was certain it was something bad.

"You... what do you want to do?!"

As she spoke, one of her hands unconsciously covered her chest. Her breasts were truly very full, and compared to Iris, they were probably about the same.

King had not even come up with an idea of how to retaliate against her yet when she ’kindly’ gave him a hint. The more she wanted to cover herself, the less he would let her cover herself. He had to aim precisely at her ’weak point’ to retaliate in the most satisfying way.

"Hehehe... System, we just need to teach the female lead a lesson and set her straight. Then she will become a great mage in the future. A great mage shouldn’t have a ’big’ weak point like this."

In the eyes of both the system and Seraphine, King’s smile was extremely ’evil’ and ’perverted’. Looking at him like this, the system unconsciously superimposed an image of Iris onto him.

Was this what they called like attracts like? The strongest pervert of the present and the strongest pervert of the future were linked together by fate, forming a pair of perverts...

If King knew about the system’s ’improper’ thoughts, he would definitely be furious. How could it say that he and Iris were alike?

"Stop! If you dare come any closer to me, then I will kill you. Behind me is an entire mage academy. The principal is a rank V mage! If you know what’s good for you, stop all those wrong ideas right now, and you’ll still have a chance to live."

As a genius mage, Seraphine had her own pride. At this moment, she really wanted to cry, but because of her pride, she could only yell at King in the hope of scaring him off.

Since her strength was not enough to threaten him, Seraphine brought up her background to scare King. Her background was so powerful that even the Grey clan at its strongest would have been scared out of their wits.

Just a character in a novel dares to threaten a reader? You’ve got some nerve.

King felt very irritated. But mixed in with his anger, he also found it quite funny.

Although she was not a child, in King’s eyes, she now looked like a little brat who started trouble but could not beat the other person, so all she could do was run to her parents and snitch.
