At first, Reynolds thought it was a great honor, but the more he heard these words, the more he felt it was mushy. Now he had no choice but to wear the Hermit Cloak when he went out, or he would be annoyed to death.
Eirinn and Hamm also advanced smoothly without any major threats.
On the other hand, Lin Ling would often appear in Reynolds's dormitory. While encouraging him, she would also remind him not to be careless from time to time. After the baptism of the competition, Lin Ling's confidence in Reynolds grew day by day. This was because every battle he fought was always surprising. He seemed to be improving every day, invisible but fast. Lin Ling was very happy. Her judgment was right.
After winning another match, Reynolds suggested that they go to a high-class restaurant for a good meal. Eirinn had no objections, and they hit it off. She was exhausted from all the competition these days. No matter what, she had to replenish her energy. Lin Ling was also there. The two academies were on vacation during the competition, so they could go back and forth freely. At first, Lin Ling ran to Reynolds's dorm all day. Since the dorm was big and there were many rooms, she decided to stay in his dorm. The three of them also called Hamm to see if he was interested in having dinner with them.
Eirinn felt very awkward being forced to wear the Hermit Cloak with Reynolds every time they went out. She joked, "Reynolds, you're a big celebrity in the academy now. Just a casual shout and I'm afraid there will be many young ladies crying and shouting as they throw themselves at you, thirsting for your comfort! "
With Lin Ling around, Reynolds naturally couldn't discuss women with his roommates. He coughed and said, "It's fine as long as I have Lin Ling. Those women are just a pile of shit in my eyes!"
Eirinn almost vomited when she heard that. She used to see him standing by the window of the dormitory, staring at the female students passing by below with interest. Now he was acting all serious, but it was enough to see that he had special feelings for Lin Ling.
Lin Ling was very happy to hear this. She held Reynolds's arm tighter. "Little Lin is still the best." She then pinched Reynolds's soft flesh with all her strength. Reynolds grimaced in pain.
Eirinn didn't want to expose Reynolds's pretense and leave a bad impression on Lin Ling. Besides, it was useless no matter what she said. From their daily behavior, it was obvious that their relationship was quite good.
As they chatted and laughed, they quickly arrived at Hamm's dormitory. However, they heard Hamm's painful moans and the curses of others when they arrived at the dormitory villa.
"Stinking brat, you think you can act all high and mighty just because you can last a little longer in the knockout round? How dare you talk back to me!"
This voice wasn't completely unfamiliar to them. They had even had a conflict before. It was the fat assassin Leopold, whom Reynolds and the others had met in the academy's high-class restaurant for the first time, and a few of his friends who were similar to him.
Hamm was indeed a very strange person. His qualities were considered very high in the low-level warrior class, and he was more hardworking than anyone else. He was full of courage and ferocity on the battlefield, but once he was off the stage, he became dull and honest, even as timid as a mouse. He was often bullied by others, but he didn't dare to put up any resistance.
Eirinn hated the fatty to begin with. Seeing the situation, she immediately rushed forward to help. With the strength of these people, any one of them could easily take care of all of them.
However, Reynolds pulled her back and said, "Wait, don't go over!"
Eirinn was puzzled. "Why? Reynolds, are we just going to stand by and watch? That's too immoral, isn't it? "
Reynolds sighed and said, "When a person falls, what we need to do is not to help him up, but to let him get up on his own. Otherwise, he won't be able to get up the next time he falls." Reynolds was deeply moved. He had fallen down before, and it was even worse than Hamm's. However, he had already crawled up and was standing steadily.
Eirinn didn't fully understand the profound philosophies of Earth, but she vaguely felt that her roommate's words did make some sense. So, she didn't act rashly and waited to see what would happen.
"Stinking brat, you've eaten a leopard's guts!" Leopold was especially angry today because he had been dumped by the "campus bus" Doris not long ago. That woman was a promiscuous slut to begin with. This was something the whole school knew. Most of the men who had an affair with her would just go their separate ways after playing with each other. However, Leopold just so happened to be a little innocent. Or perhaps he was infatuated with Doris's sexy body. After being a bus passenger for a while, he really thought he was the driver and wanted to use the bus as a private car. The consequences were obvious. A woman as fickle as Doris wouldn't give up the whole forest for a tree. Soon, she hooked up with another pretty boy. That guy's family was quite influential. Leopold knew he couldn't afford to offend them, so he could only vent his anger on others.
Today, he suddenly felt depressed again. When he asked his friends out to look for unlucky people to bully, he just happened to run into Hamm on the way. Leopold still had some impression of this pushover who had almost pissed his pants a month or two ago. So, he immediately went up to provoke him. Hamm also said a few words, like "Seniors, please let me go." He was a person who was afraid of trouble, but as long as he didn't cause any trouble, he didn't dare talk back. However, Leopold was in a fit of anger and was deliberately looking for trouble. No matter how much Hamm bowed, it was useless. He was immediately beaten up by a group of people. He could only cover his head with his hands and beg for mercy.
Seeing this, Leopold felt a wave of pleasure. The depression of being dumped also disappeared a lot. He said even more excitedly, "Beat him up! Beat him up!"
Seeing Hamm lying on the ground, beaten up by a few people and bleeding from his head, Eirinn couldn't stand it anymore, "Reynolds, are we really going to do this?"
Reynolds seemed to have a heart of stone, "Yes, there are some things we can't help with." When he was on Earth, he lost a lot and gained a lot. He knew that when he came to Kings' Land, the only favor he owed others was to eat and drink for free at Luo Yue Bar. But later, Reynolds also gave Skac a large sum of money, so Reynolds didn't feel that he had lost anything. And if Hamm continued like this, then he would forever be ashamed of his commoner parents who spent their life savings to send him to school, hoping that he would make a name for himself.
Until the few people got tired of beating him up and left while cursing, the situation that Reynolds hoped for still didn't happen. Hamm was too honest, so honest that he didn't even have the slightest consciousness of resistance.
Only then did Reynolds and the other two walk out from the darkness. Eirinn asked with concern, "Hamm, are you okay?"
Hamm felt very embarrassed to be seen by his friends like this. He wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and got up from the ground, "I, I'm fine, just a flesh wound."
