It was only until the next morning that Baiyi told Tisdale that he would be going back to watch her battle. Immediately, she lowered her head guiltily and stammered, "I-I'll try my best not to disappoint you."
She's totally lacking in confidence... Baiyi wanted to pout. He knew that Tisdale would not be able to get a good result in the battle. She was too busy and did not have much time to cultivate. No matter how talented she was, she would not be able to keep up with the others.
So, Baiyi replied calmly, "I understand. Just enjoy the competition. This is also the last time you'll be participating in this kind of battle, right? You won't have time to do this anymore after you enter the Year 4. "
The Year 4 and Year 5 students would spend most of their time outside to train and participate in real battles.
Unfortunately, Tisdale was destined to not be as high-spirited as she was last year. She did not even prepare her robe and equipment in advance. In the end, she had to borrow a staff and accessories from Mia at the last minute.
Mia wanted to lend her hammerhead shark plushie but Baiyi stopped her. It was not that he was reluctant to lend it to her but it was unnecessary. There was no point for Tisdale to get a good ranking in the battle.
That was why she went up the stage with a relaxed attitude. In the end, she was stopped in the top 16, defeated by a golden-collared boy. With her current condition, this result was still acceptable, especially when the champion happened to be the boy who defeated Tisdale. This also made Tisdale feel a little better.
"It's okay, it's okay. When you start to receive the orthodox Rohlserlian training, what you've learned before will no longer be that important," Baiyi comforted her.
"Yes, I know. Thank you, teacher," Tisdale replied.
"But, how are the things in your family going? You can't be distracted during the learning process, "Baiyi added. It was not good for Tisdale to be entangled with mundane things all the time.
When she mentioned this matter, Tisdale's face immediately showed a relaxed expression. "I've almost settled it a while ago. I've given them all the property, emblems, and seals that they wanted. All I want is the mansion and the alchemy workshop. It's all in exchange for my freedom now. Let's just let them bear the glorious name of Aegis and live as ordinary nobles who are obsessed with power and money. As for me, I'm just an ordinary commoner girl now. Hmm! Yes, and also your student, teacher. "
Tisdale said all of that in one breath. It was obvious that she had been holding it in for a long time.
Baiyi could not help but applaud her courage and decisiveness. For a girl like her, who had grown up in a noble environment, to be able to give up her noble status so decisively was something that required courage and determination. The nobles in this world were not like the nobles on Earth. They enjoyed a lot of real power and privileges, unlike back on Earth where nobles were always associated with bachelors, hipsters, and penguins.
"Being able to be my student is much more beneficial than being a noble or something." Baiyi said in a serious tone, "Don't worry, Tisdale. Whether it's power, knowledge, wealth or status, I can give them all to you. This is a reward for your family's 6000 years of loyalty."
"B-But... I've already left my family..." Tisdale said coquettishly and playfully stuck out her little pink tongue. That sudden act of cuteness caught everyone off guard, causing Baiyi to be stunned for a moment before he continued to say, "That's right, that's right, that's right.
"In my opinion, you, who have inherited the mission and glory, are the true Aegis Family. As for your clansmen? They just happen to have the same surname as you. " Having said that, he subconsciously stretched out his hand and gently patted Tisdale's head, causing the girl's face to blossom into an exceptionally happy smile.
To Tisdale, this result was naturally the biggest gain of the day.
Everything went smoothly and everyone was happy. Baiyi was about to bring the two girls to the lamb chop restaurant to have a good meal but just as he was about to leave the grandstand, a teacher came to him.
"Master Hope, it's like this. After the competition has ended, according to the tradition of previous years, we have a reserved program and we would like to ask for your opinion on it."
"Reserved program? Why do you want to ask for my opinion? " Puzzled, Baiyi asked the Apprentice but he too had no idea about it. It seemed like it was something that happened after he had left his post.
Tisdale also remembered the matter and quickly explained on behalf of the teacher. In the past few years, after the final exam every year, the academy would arrange an exhibition match where both parties would be Soul Armatures. Usually, it would be the No.1 Soul Armature of the second grade versus the No.1 Soul Armature of the third grade. If the No.1 was not a Soul Armature practitioner, then it would be postponed. In short, the Soul Armatures who were the most outstanding students of the two grades would go on the stage and have a teaching exhibition match.
After all, the Soul Armature was the second teacher of the practitioner. If the students were already so powerful, the Soul Armature who was the teacher would definitely not be weak either, right? For that reason, the exhibition match was extremely exciting and there were many things that the students could learn from. Naturally, it became the most popular program. Many students did not go home after the final exam just to enjoy the show.
"If that's the case, then of course, I can't be a spoilsport!" Baiyi agreed without any hesitation. After watching the two girls fight for a long time, he really wanted to exercise a little and let them see the tip of the iceberg of his strength.
"Thank you for your support, Master Hope. However, your opponent is a little special so I have to explain it to you so that you can consider it." Having said that, the teacher introduced his opponent to Baiyi and continued, "If you feel that it's not convenient for you, you can also reject it. Initially, we were thinking of sending another Master Hope but since Mia is the No.1 Soul Armature of the second grade, we decided to ask for your opinion."
"Hmm, this kind of opponent is quite interesting..." Baiyi tapped his finger on the back of his other hand. After thinking for a while, he nodded his head and said, "No problem, I accept."
"Eh? Teacher? That's not fair, right? "Tisdale immediately shouted," There's no way you can win! "
Not only her, even the No.1 Soul Armature of the third grade who was sitting in the distance also exclaimed after hearing the teacher's reply, "Huh? Master Hope actually accepted it? But it doesn't seem fair to him, does it? "
"Master Hope said that since it's an exhibition match, winning or losing is not too important. What's more important is to let the students learn some experience and skills. That's why he insisted on accepting it," The teacher said with a bitter smile.
"Is that so? If that's the case, we can't let Master Hope's kindness down. " The student's Soul Armature chimed in. The design of this Soul Armature was similar to a common full-body armor. Its entire body was a flamboyant fiery red, and there was a dog-tail flower stuck in the mouth of the visor, as if it was being held in its mouth.
"But, I think the others won't hold a grudge against me for defeating such a highly respected Master in public, right? I heard that he's very good at repairing things. In that case, I think I should go easy on him... "The red Soul Armature muttered to himself again.
Soon, Baiyi and his opponent were ready to go on stage. The spectator stands, which were temporarily expanded with earth magic, were filled with students. Not only the second and third graders, but many students from other grades had also rushed over to watch the show after hearing that it was going to be held in reserve.
President Rhansey personally appeared to host the match. He sat in the middle of the spectator stand and acted as a temporary commentator with the help of the Sound Amplification Spell. After a series of opening remarks, he began to introduce the two contestants to the students.
"Master Hope, I think most of the students are quite familiar with him, especially the students from the Soul Armature Department. He has repaired your Soul Armature many times, right? Currently, he's very popular in the academy. He's a mysterious and powerful sorcerer... "
"As for Master Hope's opponent... I believe that many of you have only heard of this profession but have never seen it with your own eyes. Yes, his opponent is a long-lost profession. Even I have never seen it with my own eyes before. This profession is called..."
"Magi-breaker!"
Upon hearing such an introduction, the audience burst into an uproar. Just like what the president had said, the special profession of Magi-breaker was a profession that had disappeared for a long time. Even the number of people who could become a Soul Armature was very few. Many people could only learn about this profession from the literature records.
Just like what the name said, the Magi-breaker was a profession that was specifically used to deal with sorcerers. Through various mysterious training, they could increase their own magic resistance to the point that they were almost immune to magic. They could ignore spells of the same level or even higher level. Coupled with their unique Magi-breaking Chi Prowess, bullying sorcerers was as easy as eating a meal for them.
The training and cultivation of a Magi-breaker was very difficult. Later on, due to unknown reasons, the training method was lost as well. Since then, there were no new Magi-breakers appearing. In the end, it became a record in history and legend. Fortunately, they had disappeared or else the sorcerer profession would have been pushed out of the stage of history.
Because of that, the best of the profession was also known as the Anti-Sorcerer. Of course, they would never use their Battle Axe to fight, let alone cover their eyes with black cloth...
That was the reason why when Baiyi decided to accept the challenge, Tisdale and Mia vehemently objected to it. Even his opponent thought that it was an unfair fight.
