Chapter 11: Battle on the Lawn (Part 1)

However, before Baili Yuan could continue searching for the location of those three silver eggs, he felt someone grab him by the collar and lift him up.

"Why is there a child here? From the primary class?" A cold, clear voice came from behind Baili Yuan.

Baili Yuan twisted his body twice before he could see the person behind him.

The person holding him was a cold, silver-haired girl wearing a white school uniform and a white beret—yes, the very owner of the black silk stockings Baili Yuan had just been holding onto.

Beside her was a girl who was taller than the black-silk girl, with black hair and a youthful, beautiful appearance. Her legs, in particular, were straight and slender. She was currently looking at Baili Yuan with curiosity; this girl was the owner of the white silk stockings that had been opposite the black silk ones earlier.

At this moment, the black-silk girl was holding Baili Yuan with one hand.

"Judging by his age, he shouldn't be old enough for school yet. Could he be a teacher's child?" the white-silk girl said, looking Baili Yuan over.

"Um... could you put me down first?" Baili Yuan said, feeling a bit awkward.

Because of the commotion here, some people had already turned their gazes toward him.

The black-silk girl nodded and placed Baili Yuan on the ground.

However, the moment his feet touched the ground, Baili Yuan took off, trying to run toward the Glory Egg again, only to be immediately lifted up by the black-silk girl once more.

"Little kid, it's dangerous over there. Don't go over," the black-silk girl warned.

"Uh..."

Baili Yuan then carefully examined his surroundings.

In the center of the lawn stood three people. On one side was a girl with a slender figure, long red hair draped over her shoulders, and a well-endowed chest. She held her chin slightly high, her face showing a look of slight anger.

Opposite her were two boys. As for their appearances... let's skip that.

Sorry, there are no men in my eyes.

The three were in a standoff.

One of the two boys had an awkward smile and looked a bit lacking in confidence, while the other was frowning.

Looking at these three, a flash of surprise crossed Baili Yuan's eyes. The other three silver eggs were actually on these three people!

"Uh... what's going on here?" Baili Yuan asked.

"The big sister and big brothers over there are going to fight," the white-silk girl explained.

Big brother? Big sister?

Heh.

Try dealing with a two-thousand-year-old Ultraman.

Perhaps thinking that Baili Yuan would run off again, the black-silk girl actually hugged him, holding him like a chubby doll.

The black-silk girl didn't say anything, but as she looked at Baili Yuan, she couldn't help but reach out and pinch his chubby little cheek.

The white-silk girl also smiled.

Baili Yuan swatted the black-silk girl's hand away. He already had baby fat; what if she pinched it until it was even more swollen?

"Who are those people?" Baili Yuan asked in a childish, milky voice.

Secret Technique: Playing Dumb!

To gather intelligence, Baili Yuan didn't mind using this forbidden move.

"So cute. Let big sister pinch your cheek, and I'll tell you~" the white-silk girl laughed, reaching out her hand as well.

*Slap!*

Baili Yuan swatted the white-silk girl's hand away.

The white-silk girl was stunned.

The atmosphere suddenly became a bit awkward.

Perhaps realizing Baili Yuan's reluctance, the white-silk girl didn't try again, but she didn't take his attitude to heart either—after all, he was just a child.

The white-silk girl didn't beat around the bush and spoke directly.

"That red-haired big sister is ranked sixth, Princess Emillica, known as the 'Glittering Maiden.' As for the two boys, the one with bandages on his hands is Kuroki, known as the 'Weakest Dragon,' and the other is a new transfer student, I think his name is Ikki. I don't know much else," the white-silk girl said.

Having obtained the information he wanted, Baili Yuan nodded in satisfaction.

However, although he knew the two sides of the battle, he still didn't quite understand unfamiliar terms like "sixth" or "titles." But that didn't matter; he would find out later. The most important thing now was how to get his hands on that Glory Egg and the three silver eggs!

Baili Yuan pinched his chin and began to calculate the probability of getting the three eggs by acting cute.

The black-silk girl was still holding Baili Yuan, very quietly. However, from the slightly satisfied expression on her face, it was clear she enjoyed holding Baili Yuan like this.

Specifically, she just liked chubby dolls.

The white-silk girl looked at Baili Yuan with curiosity. She always felt that Baili Yuan wasn't simple. After all, even a teacher's child couldn't just run around Cloud City Academy at will. When her gaze fell on Baili Yuan's left hand, her expression couldn't help but change.

"By the way, little one, what's your name?" the white-silk girl asked with a smile.

"Baili Yuan."

"How old are you this year?"

"Five... two thousand three hundred and thirty-three years old!" Baili Yuan pouted. He’d said too much; he almost started thinking of himself as five for real.

The white-silk girl narrowed her eyes, revealing a mysterious smile.

Five years old? An awakened crest, a future dual-crest wielder!

It seems her academy has had another gain recently.

"Little Baili Yuan, why are you here?" the white-silk girl asked with a smile.

Baili Yuan glanced at the white-silk girl.

"Got lost."

"Lost?" The white-silk girl continued to smile. She didn't believe a word of Baili Yuan's story, and at the same time, she became increasingly curious about why he was here.

At this moment, the three people in the center of the lawn stopped their standoff and finally made a move.

"Duel! If you lose, you move out of the dormitory and become my servant!" Emillica said loudly.

Baili Yuan looked up at Emillica.

Do students at Crest Academy always play things this intensely?

"I heard that for some reason, Ikki was assigned to the same dormitory as Emillica, and then Emillica came to find Ikki, wanting him to leave the room," the black-silk girl explained.

Baili Yuan blinked. Does Crest Academy have such perks?

"Everyone, let's just calm down. It must be a mistake by the academy. Let's go to the administration office and check..." Kuroki said hurriedly, blocking in front of his friend. He knew Emillica's strength. His friend had just transferred today, and although his friend was strong, he wasn't necessarily a match for Emillica. After all, she was a princess, and the resources and exposure she had enjoyed since childhood were incomparable to theirs.

"Kuroki, don't say any more." Ikki pressed his hand on Kuroki's shoulder, looked directly at Emillica, and said, "I originally intended to go to the administration office to clarify things, but since the other party has come knocking without rhyme or reason, I cannot abandon the honor of the Fushi clan. I accept this duel!"

"Ikki..." Kuroki looked at his friend with worry.

Emillica's expression wasn't good either. Being called a woman who acts without rhyme or reason and makes unreasonable demands didn't make her feel very comfortable. Coming to find Ikki was a last resort, but she disdained to explain herself.

"Hey, woman, in exchange for the condition you proposed, if I win, I ask that you move out of the dormitory!" Ikki shouted at Emillica.
