Chapter 531 -8 How Long Is This Leg_2

“So, when do we start the big project?” Sorey asked.

“No rush,” Xu Mo replied, the professional manager isn’t settled yet.

“I’ll wait for your good news.” Sorey also left.

“Why are you so naughty?” After they left, Zero said to Xu Mo.

“‘Femme fatale,’ you just don’t understand. I’m helping them; this is what you call taking delight in helping others,” Xu Mo said. He glanced at the Library and asked, “Why are there so few people today? Where did everyone go?”

The Library had quieted down, and was basically empty.

“Today, the Extraordinary Department is holding a competition for newcomers, and most of the students at the school have gone to watch the excitement,” Zero replied.

It had already been a few months since the start of the term, and the Extraordinary Department’s competition for new students was an annual event that offered the most direct view of the combat capabilities of the department’s newcomers.

Regarding the Extraordinary Department’s combat, people at the school were quite interested, even those from other departments, who would also go to join in the excitement.

“No wonder.” Xu Mo muttered to himself, no wonder Ize and Carter had been coming so often before.

It seemed they had been preparing for the Extraordinary Department’s competition for new students.

However, this had nothing to do with him as a Librarian.

Sitting down next to Zero, Xu Mo stretched lazily and then leaned over next to Zero to look at the table, asking, “What book are you reading?”

As he spoke, he reached out to flip through it but was stopped by Zero’s hand pressing down on his.

Xu Mo showed a strange expression, now even more curious about the book.

Their hands pushed against each other.

“Femme fatale, why are you touching my hand?” Xu Mo spoke up. Zero moved her hand away, and Xu Mo quickly flipped the book over to see the inscription on the cover.

“Empress.”

Xu Mo’s expression was especially vivid as he looked at Zero.

Zero’s face reddened a bit under his gaze.

“Bang!” She suddenly kicked the stool out from under Xu Mo’s buttocks, and he fell to the ground, landing squarely on his rear.

“I…”

Just as Xu Mo was about to get angry, he then saw a pair of slender, beautiful legs in front of him; looking up from those legs, he saw that stunning face again, with a trace of smug satisfaction, as she looked down at him.

“Femme fatale, how long are your legs? Can I measure them?” Xu Mo said feebly, reaching out as if ready to measure.

Zero hesitated for a moment.

Raising her leg.

“Bang!”

Xu Mo’s body slid across the ground, thankfully the Library was empty today.

In the distance, the Elder who had invited Xu Mo to the Library smiled at the two of them, thinking that young people sure are different these days—their ways of romance are so unique!

……

At Lucas University Extraordinary Department, the competition for new students was underway.

The huge square was surrounded by throngs of people, and the Battlefield within the square was a scene of intense collisions between Transcendents, clad in various equipment fighting behind Energy Walls.

Lucas University was a comprehensive university, but the Transcendents were still among the most valued disciplines, and many people dreamed of becoming Transcendents, hoping to fly and burrow through the earth.

At the moment, it was Carter fighting someone in the Battlefield.

His spear was even stronger than before, agile and graceful, with faster and more ferocious attacks. Although it was spear technique, the thrusts were unfathomable; his competition with Ize was pushing both to improve together.

Soon, he landed a blow with his spear, sending his opponent flying, and defeated them.

After his victory, Carter walked toward a certain area where many people were gathered, all dressed extravagantly, with a distinguished air.

The people here were rich and noble, members of the Lucas Star’s aristocracy; even ordinary little nobles could hardly enter the center of this circle.

And at this moment, in the center stood a woman, noble and beautiful, cold as ice, with a stunning temperament, like the moon surrounded by stars. Her dignified aura was so strong that others dared not profane it. Many students only dared to steal a glance before quickly averting their eyes, not daring to meet her gaze. At Carlos University, there was probably no one who didn’t recognize her.

On her first day entering the university, she had caused a huge stir.

Ize was also standing by her side at the moment.

Carter approached from this direction, his elegant golden hair complementing his handsome features. His gentle temperament attracted the attention of many female students, and quite a few had confessed their feelings to him.

Both Ize and Carter, without a doubt, were among the top noble young masters within the school, and naturally, there were many admirers.

However, Carter had no interest in other women.

He walked straight towards the noble lady, coming into the area where she was.

“You’ve made not a small amount of progress,” the lady said to Carter with a gentle smile on her face.

“I still have a long way to go compared to Princess Elizabeth, and I need to work harder,” Carter replied, well aware that their princess was not just a pretty face. Not only did she possess extraordinary beauty, but her combat power was also formidable. Neither he nor Ize could match her.

Although they ranked amongst the upper echelon of Lucas University’s freshmen in terms of combat power, they hadn’t reached the top levels yet.

As for Princess Elizabeth, she definitely possessed top-level combat power, even counted among the strongest few.

The rumors from the outside world were not unfounded, as he and Ize were indeed romantic rivals.

However, the object of their pursuit was the Princess of Lucas Star, and they both had a long way to go.

For Carter, pursuing his life’s ambitions required him to take this necessary path.

“What have you and Ize been busy with recently? Compared to the start of the school year, you seem to have both made progress these past few months,” Princess Elizabeth asked curiously, fully aware of Carter’s and Ize’s intentions.

It wasn’t just the two of them; she had too many admirers around her, and she knew what they were all thinking.

But it was a matter to be expected. It didn’t bother her; let them compete. She would observe their performance and ultimately choose the most suitable one. The choice was in her hands.

The families of Ize and Carter both held significant influence on Lucas Star.

“Studying,” Ize responded.

“Studying?” The lady asked, somewhat curious.

“Princess Elizabeth, Ize and Carter have recently been busy studying in the university’s library. It is said that there’s a young librarian who has arrived with profound theoretical knowledge and has been offering guidance to Ize and Carter,” someone mentioned.

Next to them, a youth dressed in black looked at the two and laughed, “I also heard that this librarian is a servant of the Anos Clan, and since his master is studying at the school, he also entered the school and found himself a job.”

Ize and Carter frowned upon hearing this. The youth, Mokov, was the son of the Finance Minister and was also a competitor of theirs.

Mokov deliberately emphasized that Xu Mo was a servant of the Anos, which was meant to belittle them, implying that they were learning from the servant of someone from Anos, an obvious disgrace for nobles.

They both knew, however, that Xu Mo was not any servant; his real identity was a member of the Anos Royal Family.

Of course, they had promised Xu Mo not to reveal this.

Sure enough, Princess Elizabeth’s brows raised slightly upon hearing Mokov’s words. A servant of the Anos Clan?

“Although Xu Mo is a librarian, he possesses genuine knowledge and erudition. When studying arts, one should not judge based on status,” Ize said.

Carter didn’t speak but also frowned slightly.

“Really? Ize is indeed studious,” Mokov mocked. “I wonder what the Duke would think upon knowing this.”

In his opinion, for top noble young masters of Lucas Star to learn from a servant was an utter disgrace.

Profound knowledge? How much could a servant possibly know?

“It’s none of your business,” Ize responded coldly.

“Of course,” continued Mokov. “Since you, Ize, believe you have learned much, I look forward to seeing your performance on the Battlefield tomorrow, and I hope you won’t disappoint me.”

Ize’s brows knitted tightly. He and Carter were evenly matched in strength, but Mokov’s combat power had always been a notch above both of them. Even if they had made decent progress these days, defeating Mokov would be difficult.

Mokov’s taunts were intentionally provoking a challenge for tomorrow, aiming to demean them.

If they were to lose tomorrow, it would be embarrassing, especially in front of Princess Elizabeth.

This was troublesome!
