"Ack!" Alec was surprised, he didn\'t think that Lilith, although very beautiful, could be so scary when angry.
"I… what I mean is…"
"What\'s wrong? If you don\'t compete, then I\'ll take my disciple with me." Lilith said as she grabbed Lathel\'s hand and pulled him away.
In reality, Lathel wanted to withdraw his hand, but Lilith\'s power was much greater than his. Suddenly, he felt that this situation was somewhat familiar, like when he had just met Charlotte.
"Okay, we will compete." Alec finally shouted, he had no other choice but to compete with Radius.
After all, he and Radius had bet with each other. If they didn\'t compete, how could he show off his talent to everyone?
That\'s why this competition must take place and he must win.
For honor, for flexing, and to become Lilith\'s disciple.
"Radius, do you dare compete with me?" Alec glanced at Radius with provocation in his eyes.
"Do you think I\'m afraid of you?"
"Good!" Lilith spoke up: "You guys go to the competition area, I will be the referee."
…
The competition area was like the ancient Greek arena. Of course, the position where Lathel and Lilith sat was the highest and most luxurious place.
This place had a sofa that was covered in extremely soft velvet cushions. Moreover even if one person lay on this sofa, there would still be plenty of space left.
Lathel brought Charlotte and Lafien along to this place. But throughout the distance they traveled, Lafien showed discomfort.
He could only shake his head, he felt that Lafien was upset because Lilith had neutralized her attack.
Arriving at this place, Lafien still felt uncomfortable, her expression contorted.
He approached and whispered in Lafien\'s ear: "Are you still angry?"
"Huh! Get away from me, pervert!"
"Ack!" Lathel was startled, his face filled with confusion as he looked at Lafien.
But she didn\'t explain much, she went to the right end of the sofa and sat down. Lathel could only shake his head, while temporarily ignoring her.
Lilith sat in the middle, while Charlotte sat on the left.
Lathel saw that there were still many empty spots on the sofa but this chair was full of beauties, so how could he squeeze in? That\'s why he decided to stand next to Lilith.
"Lathel…" At this moment, Lilith suddenly spoke: "You should sit here."
She patted an empty spot on her left side, while smiling at him.
Lathel started sweating, while silently muttering: \'Second sister, you are my second sister, no, you are my mother. Are you afraid things aren\'t complicated enough?\'
He of course did not dare to voice his thoughts, he just forced a smile and said: "Ah! I can stand, I prefer to stand."
Lilith suddenly pouted: "If you don\'t sit, I will go back and I will not accept anyone as my disciple."
"Ack! This… this is not good, you also promised." Lathel was a little worried and spoke quickly.
"I don\'t care, they have nothing to do with me anyway." Lilith crossed her arms, while pouting.
Lathel glanced below, she saw Alec and Radius preparing the equipment to compete, and sighed.
In the end, he decided to sit in the place assigned by Lilith. At this moment, on his left was Charlotte, on his right was Lilith, and on the right end was Lafien.
Lafien glanced at Lathel who was sitting between Charlotte and Lilith, she then snorted in contempt, crossed her arms over her chest, and looked in the other direction.
Lathel then sighed and said: "Lilith, you... this sofa has a lot of empty space, do you need to lean close to me like this?"
"Ah!" Lilith smiled: "I feel a bit cold so I want to lean on you a little."
At this time, Lilith moved closer to Lathel, their shoulders touching, her arm even resting on his thigh.
Lathel: "…"
\'Oy! Oy! Oy! It\'s okay if you sit next to me, but don\'t touch my thigh?\'
\'Oh my god, I\'m being harassed by the female lead.\'
Lathel pushed her hand away from his thigh, however, before she could react further, Charlotte laid her head on his thigh and fell asleep.
\'Charlotte is so wonderful. You are truly my savior.\' Lathel silently thanked Charlotte.
Seeing this, Lilith pouted and looked at Charlotte with jealousy. Lathel was currently extremely happy, as he steadily stroked Charlotte\'s soft hair.
"You can also stroke my hair, my hair is very soft…" Lilith whispered in his ear.
Lathel could feel her warm breath tickling his ear.
"Lilith, you… you are my teacher, I can\'t do that."
"Huh! Why are you so old-fashioned? Do you know that nowadays, love between a master and disciple is a trend?
Lathel: "…"
"Lilith, do you think I\'m a child? How can there be such nonsense?"
"You don\'t believe me? I read that in a novel, now love between teachers and disciples is a trend. If you don\'t believe it, try loving me." Lilith smiled and said, her eyes full of anticipation as she looked at him.
Lathel:凸(  ̄ ヘ  ̄ )
In his heart, he silently raised his middle finger to Lilith.
"I am a very old-fashioned person."
"Huh!" Lilith pouted with dissatisfaction.
Below, Alec and Radius finally finished preparing, then entered the arena.
There were also many people around who entered the arena and began to watch this competition.
Lathel glanced around, he couldn\'t find anyone organizing bets. Usually in novels, in cases like this there will be a certain character organizing a bet.
Of course, the main character\'s odds are extremely low, but thanks to that, the main character bets himself to win, so he earns a lot of money.
At this time, Lilith suddenly stood up, and using magic to amplify her voice she said: "Simple competition, I have a recipe for a 1-star medicine. Of course, I will also provide the ingredients for you. Whoever prepares this medicine with higher quality will win."
After Lilith finished speaking, she clapped her hands, and two people wearing black robes brought two trays of medicinal herbs in front of Alec and Radius.
"In each person\'s tray are ingredients to prepare medicinal herbs and recipes. That amount of ingredients is enough to give you three chances."
"If you use all 3 opportunities and still do not succeed in preparing it, you will lose."
"The time is limited to two hours. If there are no other questions, then…"
"Wait!" Alec shouted: "Sorry Fifth Elder, I have a wish, I hope you can grant it."
"Hm?! You are really annoying. Speak!"
"Very simple, I want this competition to be public for everyone to see." Alec said while smiling.
"Hmm?!" Lilith glanced at Radius and asked: "What about you?"
"Hahahaha…" Radius laughed loudly: "If he is not afraid of humiliation, then I don\'t have any opinion. Anyway, this is good, so everyone can see how talented I am."
"And how painfully he would lose."
Alec snorted in contempt: "It\'s easy to speak about it but difficult to do. After all, I\'m just a country boy, losing is not surprising. But you are someone who enjoys the best training, the best resources, if you lose… hahahaha…"
"At that time, I hope you can continue to smile like this."
Radius was angry when he heard that, his eyes looked like they were about to spit fire: "Good! Hopefully when you lose, you can keep your promise."
"Enough!" Lilith lost patience and shouted: "You guys are really noisy. Can\'t you see my disciple sitting quietly all this time?"
Alec: "…"
Radius: "…"
"So… this competition… begins!" As soon as Lilith finished speaking, she recited some strange language.
Right after that, she threw a glass ball over, and it flew to the middle of the field.
At this moment, in the middle of the hall, a giant cube appeared, the faces of that cube were screens, and they were projecting images from the arena.
Once finished, Lilith sat back in her original position. This time, she leaned even closer to Lathel\'s body than before. Moreover her two soft mountains seemed to just touch his arms.
"Teacher…"
"Call me Lilith."
"Ack! This… this isn\'t very good. You\'d better pay attention below."
"Huh! It\'s just two chickens, I can tell at a glance what they are doing, and even know the outcome in advance, so there\'s no need to observe much."
Hearing that, Lathel had a somewhat daring thought in his heart. He smiled and said: "So... teacher."
"Lilith!"
"Ack! Lilith, who do you think will win?"
"Who do you think will win?"
Lathel: "…"
\'I\'m asking you, why are you asking me in return?\'
He frowned and said: "Teacher... Lilith, I think Alec will win."
"Uhm, I also think he will win." Lilith immediately nodded.
Lathel: ( ⊙ _ ⊙ )
He started to feel a bit strange. If following the normal plot, Lilith should not have believed that Alec would win.
But then, Alec would then show off his outstanding talent and courage, making Lilith immediately interested in him.
"You… Why do you think that Alec would win." Lathel asked with confusion.
"Because you also think Alec will win, so I think he will win."
Lathel wanted to cry, what the hell kind of logic was this?
"Lilith, stop joking, I really want to know why you think Alec can win."
"So why do you think Alec can win?" Lilith asked him back.
However, when he saw Lilith\'s eyes that were as dark and peaceful as an autumn lake, he seemed captivated.
"Ack! This… because… because Alec possesses the Anaconda Flame."
Hearing that, Lilith smiled. She lightly touched the tip of his nose with her index finger: "I already know that, in fact, I can see more things than you."
"Alec possesses the Anaconda Flame, which can help him increase his success rate when preparing medicinal herbs."
"But besides that, Alec also possesses an ability that Radius cannot compare to, which is mental energy."
"mental energy?" Lathel asked confusedly.
"Um… If you want to know more…" Lilith said as she used her finger to draw a circle on his chest: "Tonight you can come to my private room, and I will teach you."
"Don\'t worry, I will teach you many other things, I guarantee you will be very excited."
Lathel felt like crying, Lilith was really harassing him.
"If you don\'t say it now, I don\'t want to listen."
"Huh! Mental energy is similar to magical energy, however, it is more difficult to understand than magical energy."
"Magic energy can be measured by level, but mental energy is a natural talent, and it is difficult to increase it after you are born."
"Alec possesses very strong mental energy. He can control the Anaconda Flame well and accurately deduce the best time for the herbs to fuse together."
"Alec both possesses Anaconda Flame and possesses stronger mental energy than Radius, therefore, Alec will definitely win."
