Seems Like Master

Olivia had a strange dream.

In the dream, she saw that various parts of her body had turned into little people.

They called themselves “cells” and were protesting to her, saying that they couldn’t rest, that they were really tired, and so on.

Olivia explained that there was no such thing, but they produced a photo of her still wearing her armor when she was sleeping, saying that they were going to interrogate her.

She quickly ran away, but because she was too tired, she couldn’t run away no matter what, and was finally pushed into an abyss by the cells.

But for some reason, this abyss wasn’t scary at all, but warm and comfortable, and Olivia became sleepy all of a sudden.

She was drowsy, and then she woke up.

She found herself lying on the bed in the infirmary; everything just now wasn’t a dream, and she finally breathed a huge sigh of relief.

“What did I dream of?”

Even though she already knew it was fake, Olivia couldn’t help but defend her sleeping habits, it was unbearable to wear armor.

So, she always slept wearing a special soft armor, which was lighter than the normal armor and much more comfortable.

But as far as comfort was concerned, her current situation, only wearing the school uniform, was even better, but when she thought about not being able to exercise during sleep, she was extremely annoyed.

After all, she never thought of herself as being exceptionally talented… let alone being a woman.

All she could rely on was hard work.

If even hard work failed against a genius, what would she use to surpass the male knights who were strong and also exceptionally talented?

“By the way, what time is it now… Has it already passed noon?”

She looked at the clock in the infirmary, and Olivia jumped up,

After greeting the teacher, she hurriedly ran towards the cafeteria.

This wasn’t to say that she couldn’t eat, but that she knew that the instigators of all this were Flora and Ryan, and she wanted to interrogate them about why they did it.

Of course, she wasn’t there to question them either, after all, she didn’t have much time to study, and now she completely didn’t have the mind to listen to classes… but skipping class for no reason

was still a bit too disrespectful to the teacher.

So, her request was that she hoped the two of them would not do this kind of thing again in the future.

Soon, she met the two in the cafeteria, but they weren’t there.

The blue-haired girl was also there.

She was stunned, but considering that the affairs within the Blue Lion family were not a big deal, she still braced herself and walked over.

“Miss Aros, it’s nice to see you.”

She first greeted the blue-haired girl, who always valued etiquette the most and cared the most about other people’s attitudes, and then nodded to Ryan and Flora as a sign of respect.

A hint of embarrassment flashed in the blue-haired girl’s eyes, but she soon smiled and said:

“It’s Olivia, no need to call it so distant, aren’t we always good friends?”

Olivia considered that it was Stella’s request three years ago and that the fact that they were no longer friends two years ago, and nodded very blankly.

‘Olivia, eat first, we’ll talk later,’

Receiving Flora’s telepathic message, and noticing that Stella was still glaring at her, looking as if she wanted to chase her away, she had to go and get her meal,

and then found Sophia and Hana to eat together.

“Olivia, are you really going to fight that Lucasi later?”

After eating almost enough, Sophia asked with some concern.

“What do you mean?”

Olivia was stunned.

“Don’t you know? It’s spread outside, saying that you challenged Lucasi after the first class ended, and then you were in class to adjust your state…”

Hana chimed in.

Olivia was even more confused.

She naturally knew this Lucasi, and had sparred with him five times,

three wins and two losses.

But this was the record every half a year for three years, and the three wins were all from before.

In the past year, she had lost twice in a row, and the gap was getting bigger and bigger each time.

Well, that’s right, she was surpassed by the other party.

The reason was also simple; it was when they were fifteen or sixteen years old, that boys began to develop rapidly.

She already had a slight physical disadvantage, and after the other party’s rapid development, the gap was so large that her skills couldn’t quite make up for it.

The other party had now surpassed Lucasi in cultivation level,

the tenth-ranked genius student in the academy, so she was jokingly called the “genius gatekeeper.”

But pay attention, this is about the knight level…

The geniuses of the seventh grade wouldn’t generally compete with ordinary knights, because the gap in strength was too big.

Considering that there were at least fifty or so Heavenly Knights and great mages, and a bunch of high-level knights whose strength wasn’t less than her and who were still improving…

Her strength was at most around the top one hundred in the school, and around fifty in the knights,

so she was eager to improve her strength.

Because considering the opposition from the amulet and the beastmen, this medium-to-upper level of strength was intolerable.

So, she agreed to let her join.

Of course, the most important thing now was the sparring with Lucasi…

She wasn’t a fool; she quickly understood that it was Flora and Ryan who were up to something.

(Is this also part of helping me improve my strength?)

She had to say, Ryan’s words in the infirmary this morning, made Olivia feel admiration after surprise.

Because this was the attitude and vision a prince should have.

She wasn’t so resistant to the other party’s assistance and recruitment.

After all, no matter which knight order she joined, she was a citizen of the Empire,

an imperial knight.

But at this moment, she began to feel the pressure again—she was afraid that she wouldn’t do well.

She was very clear that Ryan would choose to help her, just because she didn’t believe the rumors like the others did, or because she was standing on Anos’s side.

Actually, she was nothing remarkable.

She had to win this match to prove herself.

Although she didn’t think she could win against a Lucasi who was improving more and more… but no matter what, she would do her best.

She quickly finished her meal and prepared to go back to the dormitory to get her armor.

“Olivia, you can’t use armor in this match,”

Flora stopped her on the way,

“Then how am I supposed to win?”

Olivia blurted out, and immediately realized that she was speaking too

fast… and overconfident, and hastily changed her words, “I understand, I’ll do my best.”

“That’s right, that’s how it should be… then… what are you going to do next?”

Olivia was stunned.

“You don’t think that the so-called hard work is just shouting slogans?”

And during the battle—

Flora flicked her finger, “This is wrong. Real hard work is researching and analyzing the opponent, recognizing your abilities, not easily despairing, constantly thinking, constantly looking for opportunities…

Never give up on doing these things mentioned before.”

Olivia was stunned again, and then lowered her head in shame.

Just as Flora said, she indeed only thought about never admitting defeat,

but she hadn’t thought about how to achieve her goal…

“It’s okay, since it was us who started this time, let me teach you once by hand, but you must remember to do it yourself next time.”

“Yes!”

Flora began to explain to Olivia how to analyze and deduce based on the information currently known, and how to utilize her own advantages…

Listening and listening, Olivia couldn’t help but look at the other person’s focused and engrossed expression, and those iconic clear and beautiful… azure eyes.

(Really similar.)

The master in her memory was also like this when teaching others.

The difference was, the master would always say some rather harsh words—

“You are truly foolish… Listen, I’ll only say it once.”

“If you can’t do it in the future, don’t come to me, I don’t have that much time.”

“Cry? Don’t think that if you cry, someone will come and help you. Give me

“And don’t think that you can get things done just by showing a pitiful expression.”

But the master also said.

Or rather, after Olivia stubbornly pestered her, the master had always been actively guiding her…

“Don’t space out!”

Flora immediately gave her a chop on the forehead.

Stabbing wasn’t enough, it was only a symbolic act.

But it made Olivia think of something from her childhood—

Every time she disobeyed the teachings and acted on her own.

The master would always do this to her.
