Chapter 67: Escape
Tyr is now fleeing to the left side area of the concave building. Because the interior corridors are too narrow and prone to ambush, he did not choose to enter them. Instead, he ran frantically around the perimeter. However, those students chasing him were not fools; some had already circled around from behind the school, preparing to sandwich him from both sides. In this way, Tyr would find it impossible to escape.
Others had thought of this, and Tyr certainly couldn’t have failed to realize it. But the current situation forced him to keep running non-stop. He didn’t even have the luxury of pausing to find a place to hide. Any distraction would result in a bombardment of countless spells. Although these bastards were all holding back and didn’t really intend to injure Tyr, being hit by these basic spells would still peel away at him, as someone with lower-level aura.
Just as he reached the front courtyard of the concave building, the sight of Diaz instantly brightened Tyr’s eyes.
“Your Majesty! Hey!”
Being addressed as “Your Majesty,” Diaz immediately turned his head upon hearing the voice, only to find that Tyr was leading a large group of people coming over, causing him to raise an eyebrow in surprise.
“Lord Tyr, what is this all about…?”
“These students heard of your exceptional strength, but none of them believed it. They even spoke arrogantly, disrespecting you. Feeling displeased, I warned them verbally, but their narrow-mindedness led them to become angry and chase after me, resulting in this situation.”
Upon hearing this, Diaz’s expression darkened.
“Is that so?”
“Absolutely.”
“Very well.” Diaz drew his knight longsword from his right hand and spoke coldly to the students behind Tyr. “Since you all disrespect us so much and dare to bully the weak with your numbers, then today, I will make you all bow down in acknowledgment of our strength.”
At the same time, Tyr swiftly passed by Diaz, even patting his shoulder as he did so, nodding solemnly. “Your Majesty Diaz, don’t push yourself too hard. These people are just jealous of your talent. If you can’t win, it’s fine to retreat.”
“Retreat? Hah, today I’ll make sure they don’t even have the strength to retreat.” Diaz, stimulated by Tyr’s words, gradually flushed red, clearly gearing up for battle. Tyr nodded slightly, understanding the situation. “Diaz, my friend, I’m not trying to use you. It’s just that as comrades, we should share hardships together. You help me bear half of this, and in the future, you’ll surely receive half of the benefits.”
“Diaz, I wonder if knowing Tyr’s thoughts at this moment would cause him to aim his knight’s sword at this righteous masked man.”
“So, it’s time for lunch. Let’s begin,” Diaz, with a sword in each hand, strides towards the many students. Tyr couldn’t help but feel a twinge of guilt as he watched the figure depart. Diaz’s pure love for battle is something that anyone would find hard to attain, even Claude only maintains a positive attitude in this regard, but he hasn’t fallen into fanaticism; after all, he has more beliefs.
Tyr stops dwelling on it, resolves to turn and run, and simultaneously makes up his mind not to exploit Diaz’s purity again. For some reason, it always leaves Tyr feeling choked up.
However, evading the pursuit from behind, he once again faced the team that flanked from the other side. Tyr smirked, opening the window of the Yusheng Tower, and leaped directly from the outside into the corridor. The male classmates chasing Tyr weren’t foolish; they quickly organized into teams. Some entered through the main door, while others, both regular and mage students, flew directly to the second floor to block the stairs. The rest rushed in through the windows, closing in on Tyr, who seemed to be gradually trapped.
Tyr was clearly surrounded now. If they continued to narrow down the area, he would inevitably face a brutal capture. There was a possibility that the fanatical followers of those clubs might inflict some monstrous physical punishment on him.
The thought of it sent shivers down Tyr’s spine. He had to avoid them at all costs. The minds of those people had turned rotten. If he were caught now, not to mention the potential abuse, just their words alone would be enough to make Tyr vomit until he passed out.
“Hey, over here!” Tyr shouted as he ran. Suddenly, he noticed a metal door in the corridor slowly opening a crack. His eyebrows raised, and he swiftly changed direction. The next moment, he flung the door open and darted inside, the door slamming shut behind him with a bang. Outside, there was a flurry of hurried footsteps, but evidently, no one stopped at the door; they all continued forward.
Tyr breathed a sigh of relief and turned his gaze to the room. The interior was somewhat dim, but there was a faint glow emanating from fluorescent stones, casting a greenish light. It wasn’t so dark that he couldn’t see his hand in front of his face. Tyr scanned the room again, focusing on the owner of the voice that had come from the crack in the door moments ago.
Tyr immediately recognized the person with fiery red short hair, and behind her stood a girl with long hair resembling the sky’s blue expanse – both familiar faces to Tyr.
“Classmates Neruko and Damiyala, I really appreciate your help this time,” Tyr said.
Well, since it was Yuehai himself who asked them for this favor, it wouldn’t be strange to see them here now. However, the way these two people were looking at him seemed a bit off.
Neruko didn’t beat around the bush, placing her hands on her hips and said with mock seriousness.
“Tyr, your actions have caused us a lot of trouble.”
“Actions? Trouble?” Tyr tilted his head, unsure of their meaning. Neruko’s demeanor softened a lot upon being questioned, but she still stood with her hands on her hips, trying to appear serious.
“Because of your actions, Yuehai, who has always been indifferent to worldly affairs, has inexplicably come to plead with us. Your existence not only troubles us but also troubles Yuehai.”
No, I don’t think it would be troublesome. I can fully endorse Yuehai as a representative.
Of course, Tyr wouldn’t be foolish enough to say these words aloud. He was just very curious about what actions they would take next.
“Leia also feels that your presence is very annoying. You should have realized by now that you are not welcome among our female comrades!”
“Ah!” Tyr finally let out a surprised sound. On his first day of school, being told by female classmates that he wasn’t welcome among them – was there anything more painful than this?
Neruko was very satisfied with the other party’s reaction. Her initially stern expression softened gradually, and she looked somewhat pleased.
“Well, then, here’s the deal. Damiyala and I don’t like excluding people or forming cliques to isolate anyone, so we’ve decided to give you a break.”
“Thank you very much,” Tyr breathed a sigh of relief inwardly. These people just loved to string their words out, making him jumpy all the time.
However, as Tyr mentioned, Neruko still had more to say.
But! We have conditions!”
“What conditions?” Tyr couldn’t help but wonder. When he asked this, the other party’s face stiffened, and they looked to Damiyala for help with pleading eyes. The girl with the blue long hair sighed, took a step forward, and walked up to Neruko. She smiled at Tyr and said.
“It’s simple, just don’t intentionally or unintentionally interact with Yuehai anymore. I know you’re interested in Yuehai, but you two are not suitable for each other.”
