Your notoriety is known to everyone

Chapter 99: Overthrow the tyranny of Logos! (4k2)

The cold winter days are gradually receding, and the pale and yellow landscape of St. Helthe is gradually dissipating with the arrival of the spring breeze.

The sky gradually changes color from dull gray to brighter and bluer.

The sun is no longer hiding behind the clouds, and its warm rays shine on the earth, giving people comfort and warmth.

The frost on the branches beside the road quietly melted under the sunlight, revealing some moss-covered bark. The buds on the branches swelled, and the tender green leaves grew again, powerfully crossing the branches, revealing a gratifying new green.

It can be said that it is full of vitality, and the realm of all things competing is still before our eyes.

But in this scene of endless spring, the mood of the first-year students of St. Helte was not affected at all, and their mood became more and more dull.

In the past month, with the infection of "Logos poison", the atmosphere of the entire first grade has been filled with tension and anxiety.

The students worked hard day and night, constantly challenging their limits, immersed in the competition for credits, and did not dare to relax for a moment for fear of falling behind others.

Many people couldn't help but start to think about how the Demon King's Academy survived for so long in the last semester.

The situation in Hilmi Academy is much worse, because many students were rewarded by the Braid leader for defeating cultists, so they naturally started earlier.

Unlike the tenth of other colleges' credits, all credits from Hilmi College must be turned over for redistribution.

This forces many students who have never set foot in Braidland during the holidays to have to work harder, and those who originally received awards are also afraid of losing their advantage, and are inevitably driven by pressure to compete together.

Under high pressure, resentment inevitably begins to spread.

Many students jointly submitted suggestions to the chiefs of their colleges to abolish the new distribution plan, but most of them rejected it because if it was abolished, they would be completely left behind by other colleges.

After wandering around, I finally returned to Hilmi Court, but the saint who was gentle and polite in the past was extremely determined about this.

Only then did everyone realize that they still had to find the source of all these evils, Rogers Braid.

The afterglow of the setting sun shines through the window lattice into the classroom of the Spiral Tower.

Rogers did not listen to the various knowledge that Yalanna described on the podium. Instead, he flicked the quill barrel with his fingers and kept moving on the manuscript paper in front of him, sketching the gear structures with helical teeth. Gradually, It forms a complete planetary gear transmission system.

Ever since he took Professor Cooley's enchantment class, he has always had the idea of ​​bringing this system into reality. After all, the power source has already taken shape, and the supporting machinery should also improve.

He gently adjusted the monocle he was wearing and searched his mind for knowledge about various mechanical equipment.

Unfortunately, he was not an engineering student in his previous life, and most of his theories came from various popular science videos he watched in his spare time.

For example, for things like clocks, he knew the mainspring and sky wheel system, the swing wheel and escape wheel system, and other gear structures. But unfortunately, he only knew it. Based on his own thinking, he didn't know when it would become a reality.

In addition to the enchantment class, he also took Alanna's ancient magic language class and Idrul's magic plant class.

The basic teaching of Yalanna's course is to analyze the knowledge of magic spells using linguistic methods. After the students who took her course struggled to endure a few boring lectures, most of them quickly changed courses.

Logos was pleasantly surprised by this, because he found that Alanna had made great progress in this subject during the holidays, and the linking of certain concepts could significantly improve his mastery of magic.

As for the magic plant class, because the materials need to be prepared, it is still just a theoretical understanding and cannot be considered a real class.

"What else is there in your head?" Alina leaned next to Luo Gesi, looking at the dazzling structural drawings in front of her, and couldn't help but let out a sigh.

"I told you, don't get so close every time." Rogers shrugged slightly and pushed Alina's chin away.

"Are you planning to write a book? If you publish a book, the Craftsmen's Association will not hesitate to put you on the altar after seeing this knowledge, right?" After hearing this, Alina leaned closer and looked at Luo Gesi asked curiously as he wrote many drafts.

"I have this idea." Luo Gesi felt his cheek being touched by warm and soft skin, and could clearly feel the other person's breath.

However, the slender hair then tickled the shell of his ear, making him feel itchy for a moment. He couldn't help but turn his head to distance himself, raised his quill, and used the top feather to flick his ear to get rid of the itch.

Just at this moment, a paper ball came from the front row and rushed towards Alina's forehead at a very fast speed.

She clamped the ball of paper between her fingers neatly and narrowed her eyes slightly to stare at Alice, who had just turned back.

Yalanna on the podium naturally saw this scene clearly in her eyes, but it only caused a slight pause in the rhythm of her lecture, and did not give any substantive warning or deduction of credits.

"Here, this is the news for you from the Holy Lady." Alina spread out the ball of paper, glanced at the words on it, and handed it to Luo Gesi.

"Is it starting now? I thought it would be earlier. The third prince is much smarter than before this time. It seems that everyone is growing up." Rogers put the pen aside and looked at Alice. The message passed on was praised.

The content on the paper is that many students have gathered together, including many of Hilmi's fellow students, and they all want to come to Luo Gesi and ask him to persuade Alice to abandon the current credit allocation policy and return everything to the original. look.

Ever since the third prince led the Augustus Academy to follow the distribution rules, Luo Gesi had expected such a day.

This was a naked conspiracy, a conspiracy that turned him into a public enemy of his grade.

If Hilmi Academy will not object under the pressure of him and the Saint, then they will bring the entire grade of students.

People are always like this. The more people gather, the greater their courage becomes. Only when you are in a huge group can you become fearless in things that you did not dare to do alone.

"It would have been a little later if the story between him and Caspar hadn't become more and more popular, making it necessary to divert everyone's attention as soon as possible.

"After all, the three elective courses you took do not seem to be able to improve your combat effectiveness in the eyes of your classmates. In addition, you often hide in the corner and do not listen to the lectures. The longer time goes by, the more confident they will be.

"So, what are you going to do?"

Elena licked her hair behind her ears with her fingers. As she spoke, she turned her head and poked Lufia, who was sleeping on the table, with her finger.

The little princess suffered "abuse" from Alina during the holidays. She had already learned most of the public courses for the next semester, and was often pulled for "tutoring" at night, causing her to often take naps whenever she found an opportunity during the day. "At least he knew that he would be disgusted after flying around like flies, so he didn't use any tricks on us anymore.

"Isn't the Curse Showdown competition coming soon? As long as I bring you a happy competition, I believe everyone will be convinced by me and fully realize the importance of hard work."

Rogers shrugged nonchalantly and replied. He put aside the crumpled paper Alice sent him and continued to write down various ideas and illustrations of the gear structure.

It was impossible to let go of a steady stream of large amounts of credits casually. In his opinion, this kind of thing was not worth thinking about. Instead, it was more important to be promoted quickly after becoming a researcher.

The sky gradually fell in the evening, and the sunlight that was about to completely dissipate passed through the gaps in the velvet-like floating clouds, dotting the sky with amber spots.

After Alanna announced that the class was over before she left, Rogers held the book and a stack of manuscript papers in one hand, stood up from his seat, and prepared to walk out of the classroom with Alina and Lufia.

But when the three of them just walked down the stairs and reached the empty space in the front row of the classroom, a group of students wearing various college uniforms surrounded him.

There were also many students gathered in the seats at the back and outside the classroom door. Their eyes all fell on Luo Gesi, full of resentment and dissatisfaction.

"Chief Hilmi Academy, we have something to say to you." Rivers gritted his teeth and stopped in front of Rogers. He kept cheering for himself in his heart. He looked at the people beside him who seemed to be able to bring him strength. Crowd, try to speak out.

He did not accurately call Luo Gesi the deputy chief, because in everyone's eyes, it was he who was really in charge of Hilmi Academy, not the saint.

"Please tell me." Rogers looked at the freckles on the face of the person in front of him, recalling in his mind that this guy seemed to be the guy he used to score points in the freshman competition.

“Please repeal the egregious credit distribution rules, we all no longer want to be fatigued by their oppression.

"If you insist on continuing like this, we will challenge you to a spell showdown one after another until you agree!"

Rivers' words became more firm and passionate as he spoke. Especially after receiving echoes from all directions, his tone became like giving orders, causing a flush on his face as if he was enjoying pleasure.

Scenes of Luo Gesi constantly brushing up points would often turn into nightmares that lingered in his dreams. He felt that even if he had collected credits from inferior students in the name of Luo Gesi, he would have paid them back. Why should I still suffer that kind of torture?

What's even more hateful to him is why such beautiful Elena and the little princess want to surround this guy in front of him, and why would the noble saint follow such bad advice.

While everyone was working frantically, Luo Gesi was hiding in the corner of the classroom every day, not knowing what he was doing, and the professors actually let it go.

This is all so unfair!
At this moment, he could gather the will of the entire grade and give Luo Gesi some due warning!

Rogers did not reply immediately. He raised his hand to stop Alice, who had just arrived to speak. He glanced at the Hilmi Academy students among the surrounding crowd and asked curiously:
"Students in the same college, many of you have been favored by the crusade against cultists, right? Do you remember who sought this opportunity for you?
"And the students of Demon King Academy, do you still remember how many credits you got last semester? Even if you are in the last place, among other colleges, you can rank in the middle and upper reaches, right?

"Obviously, as long as you work hard normally, you can enjoy considerable resource allocation due to the advantages of our hospital's team competition. But do you also want to blame me for the pressure you put on yourself?

"As for matters in other colleges, why do you want to ask me, the deputy chief of Hilmi College? Don't you have your own chief?

“If you want to cause trouble for me, you can just say so, and if you want to have a private magic duel, there’s no problem.

"So, who should we start with? Is it you, Riles-san?"

Many students from the Hilmi Academy couldn't help but show a little guilt in their eyes, and they all avoided the gaze cast by Luo Gesi.

Rivers wanted to correct his name loudly, but when he saw Rogers' eyes returning, he subconsciously swallowed his words.

"Is it you? Do you want to fight me first?" Rogers took a step forward. His eyes looked at the other party gently and sincerely, and his voice was filled with soft questions, like a gentle breeze blowing by his ears.

However, this expression made Rivers open his eyes unconsciously. He seemed to have seen the scene during the freshman competition, the same tone, the same smile, and then a tragic experience that he would never forget.

"Logos's elective courses will not improve his strength at all! But we are all different from last semester, Rivers promises him!"

"The only magic skill he mastered in the last semester was the use of magic! But there are no ghosts for him to use in the magic duel! Don't be afraid!"

"Yes! It's different now! Whoever has greater magic power is stronger!"

"..."

Continuous cheers came from the crowd. They were all students from Augustus College at first, and later many students from other colleges joined in to persuade Rivers.

"I still have a lot of things to do. Or now, I can ask Dean Idrul to arrange a venue for the duel as soon as possible. How about the arena where I first dueled with Caspar?" Rogus? His smile and tone remained unchanged, and he continued to ask.

"I...I..." Rivers looked at the other person's palm that he raised to put on his shoulder, and couldn't help but take a step back.

He was willing to use the momentum to appeal to Logos about the entire grade's wishes, but he didn't want to take the lead himself!
"Wait! Wait a minute! The curse duel event is about to begin! I heard that you and the third prince have a bet, right?! We can also have a bet!

"As long as I lose, I will pay you five hundred credits! But if I win, you will agree to abolish the distribution rules. How about this proposal?"

Rivers' voice became dry and tense, and the crowd that originally boosted his confidence seemed to turn into a curse that pushed him into the abyss, making him feel resentful and regretful for a moment.

"A thousand credits is fine." Luo Gesi replied simply, and then he glanced at the surrounding students: "Are there any other students coming?"

Silence fell in an instant, and everyone he spotted looked away subconsciously, and those who had cheered the loudest took a few steps back.

"Then just one thousand credits, let's take it as a bet for everyone to bet against me. Does anyone think this is unfair? You can say it now. I am very generous. There is no problem in discussing it slowly."

Seeing that everyone was still quiet, Rogers acquiesced. He walked around Rivers and headed straight for the door.

Elena and Lufia followed closely behind him. They watched the students in front of Logos quickly separate like running water hitting a rock, and they all made way for a relatively spacious road in tacit understanding.

Everyone watched Luo Gesi's leaving figure, and no one took the initiative to speak. The stars outside the window flickered, as if they were sizing up this silent space.
