Chapter 1103 Want to win
“Because no one has any expectations for you.”
The face that always has a dazzling smile in my impression is still warm, using his usual The soft voice explained calmly, but the content was unexpectedly cruel.
What is even more unexpected is that these cruel words did not hurt Liadrin at all.
On the contrary, after being stunned for a moment, the female knight nodded vigorously, and then smiled: "I understand! Thank you, Mr. Mo, for coming here to relieve my tension..."
< br>
"Unfortunately, I didn't come here specifically to relieve your tension."
Mo Tan interrupted her awkwardly, scratched the scales on his cheek and smiled coquettishly, feeling a little embarrassed. "I'm ashamed to say it, but I'm actually here to put pressure on you."
Liadrin blinked curiously: "Pressure? What kind of pressure?"
"Of course it's about this competition, or this bet... Ah, thank you."
Mo Tan sat down in front of the seat Liadrin gave to him and said briskly. After thanking him, he smiled and said: "After all, Jadeka and I are friends, and we were taken care of by the Diesel family together with my friends before, so I still hope that our side can win."
"Well... um..."
Liadrin nodded slightly, and her body that had relaxed slightly subconsciously tightened again.
"So, in order for us to win, I would like to make a more rude request to you, Miss Leia."
Mo Tan looked steadily at the other party's pair of eyes that could not hide the worry. With eyes wide open, she said in a deep voice: "Please forgive me."
Liadrin said 'hmm' and quietly clenched her fists.
"Then..."
Mo Tan took a deep breath and said word by word to the white elf female knight in front of him: "Please don't get hurt for a while."
Liad Lin was immediately confused: "Huh?"
"I mean, I will compete with that Mu Xuejian later." I hope you won’t get hurt during the game.”
Mo Tan repeated it seriously, and then said with a smile: “Otherwise, what do you think I would say? I’ll let you fight hard and risk half your life. You have to cause some injuries to the opponent that will affect tomorrow’s game?”
Liadrin pursed her lips slightly and said nothing.
However, if you observe carefully, you will find that the female knight's face is slightly red. It is obvious that Mo Tan guessed it correctly just now.
In fact, it is not so much that Liadrin thought that Mo Tan would say that, but that she had always had this idea before, that is, even if she could not defeat Mu Xuejian, she should try her best to The other party creates some trouble.
From the first day of the official start of the fighting skills competition, the Paladin Knight Academy has been firmly using the 'ace tactic' in team battles. Simply put, it is to let Mu Xue, who is extremely strong individually, The sword strikes preemptively with overwhelming force. If it encounters a weaker opponent, it will directly kill the game two minutes before the start. If the opponent is stronger, it can also cause a lot of casualties, and then cooperate with the subsequent heavy cavalry group to easily destroy the enemy. .
The White Oath Knight Academy team was defeated like this yesterday.
Although Mu Xuejian did not achieve much results in the initial stage because of his strong foundation, and the per capita strength of Baishuo's side was even higher than that of the Academy of the Holy Lance Knights, he was still beaten 11 to 50 in the end. , the entire army was wiped out at the eighteenth minute of the fierce battle.
And here, there were nearly thirty knights defeated by Mu Xuejian himself!
A thorough ace tactic, completely centered on a member with extremely extraordinary strength, and creating a set for him that may be a bit deformed from an objective point of view, but is enough to bring out 120% of the ace's strength. Even more tactical configurations, although not complicated, are still enough to strike fear into the hearts of other contestants.
The 'other contestants' mentioned above also include the young Diesel family who came to Academy City with Gavin Rad this time, and Liadrin is no exception.
The knights of the Diesel family are very strong.
Regardless of the equipment, training, accomplishments, or mounts, Liadrin felt that the Diesel Cavalry Team that she was proud of was unparalleled in the world. Even if it was a temporary quasi-cavalry team formed by young people like herself, she felt that the title of the Diesel Cavalry Team was There is absolutely no way that the side named 'Diesel' could lose to the knights of the same size who are roughly at the same level of strength.
But...
Although Dean Marla, who is at the legendary level, made it clear that Mu Xuejian is indeed only at a high-level level, not even half an epic level, but in Watching the white-haired girl defeat Mo easily, watching her single-handedly sweep the entire opposing knights to pieces like a storm, Liadrin really couldn't accept the other party's reasoning with her. The fact that they are in the same strength class.
If a genius like Mo can still convince himself of losing, then Mu Xuejian is even more powerful than the Darien family at the same age, and is even used to compete with him. Monsters like Jadka are compared to people that the Diesel family has not met for thousands of years...
Looking down at the giant sword in her hand, Liadrin only felt a sense of powerlessness welling up in her heart, and her whole body was numb. Somewhat dazed.
"I am better than you."
Mo Tan looked at Liadrin calmly and said without any euphemism: "To be precise, I should be much stronger than you. I think Miss Leia You should know it well."
Liadrin nodded silently, of course she knew that this new friend in front of her who always made people feel happy was far better than herself.
“After that day’s discussion, Jadeka once told me that I had unintentionally started a teaching battle with you. Of course, he didn’t want me to tell you about it, Gavinla. Mr. De seemed to think so too."
Mo Tan casually sold Jadeka, who had not left a good impression on Liadrin, and said calmly: "Because they think you have low self-esteem. It’s very strong. You might feel awkward or confused if you find out.”
Liadrin was stunned for a moment, then shook her head with a wry smile and said nothing.
If it had been before, she felt that she might have been awkward, but now...
"But I think you can't be awkward now, after all, I lost so miserably before. "No trouble."
Mo Tan shrugged and said with a chuckle: "And in my opinion, Miss Leah, you are not the kind of person who will be defeated by such a level of setback and become unable to recover. "
Reluctantly cheering up, Liadrin smiled noncommittally: "Maybe you can just call me Leah."
"Okay, Leah, then you can just call me 'Mo'. All in all, I think you should be able to clearly understand the gap between you and me by now."
Mo Tan revealed a killing move He smiled forcefully, then raised his hand and pointed at himself: "Then, I think you can also see that in the first round of the individual competition, that Mu Xuejian also had a teaching battle with me, very meticulously Teaching battle."
"Mo, you have such a good attitude."
Liadrin sighed with a smile on her face.
“Haha, actually ‘I’ also get emotional easily.”
Mo Tan smiled, spread his hands and said: "In short, after realizing this gap, I think no one with a normal mind would have such unrealistic expectations that you can defeat Mu Xuejian in a personal battle." Fantasy.”
Liadrin sighed. He took a breath and said softly: "I know that I can't win, and I also know that you want to comfort me, Mo, but..." "First of all, if what you 'just' want to express is that you have something that costs a lot of money, trump card can be used, and try to use those means to Mu Xuejian is a surprise, then I will seriously advise you to give up this dangerous idea."
Mo Tan did not let the hesitant Liadrin finish her sentence. , but after some snatching of the opportunity, he said in a deep voice: "You The reason why I have been restless for two days is actually not because I am worried about whether I will lose to Mu Xuejian, but because I am worried about whether I will be unable to attend tomorrow's team competition due to some 'cost' after my 'hard work', right?" br>
Liadrin was stunned.
"Give up."
Mo Tan, who knew that he had guessed correctly, shook his head and said seriously: "Don't think that the teaching battle with me was the peak of Mu Xuejian's strength. If she is willing, she can completely You can defeat me early."
"But..."
"There is no but, even if you can use a sword move that you think is stronger than the one she used to defeat me that day, or even much stronger. Skills will only make her lose control of her skills and hurt you at the same time."
"I..."
"The wounds she left on me before, each one contained a little strange energy. It was not until yesterday that I completely dispelled it. And those were only minor injuries. What if it were a serious injury? Don't forget If you want to give her some surprises, it will put a heavy load on your body. Is that really okay?"
"..."
Liadrin was silent. .
“Of course it’s not good.”
Mo Tan shook his head and summed up briefly: “It’s meaningless except for self-satisfaction.”
Liadrin, whose thoughts were exposed and whose consequences were anticipated, pursed her thin lips and whispered gloomily: "I know what you want to say."
"I guess you don't know."
Mo Tan shook his head again and said solemnly: "Otherwise you wouldn't have said the words 'Mo you want to comfort me'."
Liadrin frowned slightly: "Isn't it..."
"Of course not."
Mo Tan answered without thinking, and said briskly: "I said it from the beginning, I'm here to put more pressure on you, I want to win."
Liadrin's eyes flashed After a moment of confusion, he lowered his eyes and said hesitantly: "But I..."
"I need your power, Leah."
Mo Tan raised his hand to interrupt the other party, seriously Looking at the gloomy female knight in front of her: "I hope you don't forget that in this bet, the condition for the other party's victory is to 'win the individual and team championships at the same time'. Do you understand what I mean?"
Liadrin is not a fool. In fact, if her current mood was not a little extreme, she would have even noticed the implication of Mo Tan's words earlier, so she immediately raised her head.
"I'm not comforting you, nor am I simply not wanting to see you get hurt."
Mo Tan laughed and said softly: "But I want to see a Li in good condition in tomorrow's team competition. Adeline, I hope she can become a part of the victory puzzle...a vital part."
Miraculously, the slightly gloomy face of the white elf female knight turned cloudy in an instant, and her eyes became clear. Full of unconcealable joy and relaxation.
【He did not give up! 】
【He is just looking forward to my activity! 】
[He is not comforting me who is powerless and weak! 】
【He didn’t want me to get hurt because he recognized my value as a knight before treating me as a girl! 】
There seemed to be a happy bubble rapidly expanding in her heart. Two blushes rose on the female knight's face due to excitement, and her mind became more flexible: "I remembered! Silence you. When I was practicing with everyone at the academy, I told you that I had a plan!”
“Yes, I do have a plan. Although I haven’t revealed all the details yet because I haven’t completely completed it, but if I am lucky enough, With everyone's approval, you, as the strongest member of the cavalry, will definitely become the backbone of the plan."
Mo Tan nodded, then stood up and said to Liadrin. Smiled: "That's all I want to say. If nothing happens, I'll leave first."
"Yeah."
Liadrin was not controlled by the impulse in her heart to say anything to stay, but nodded calmly: "You don't have to worry about me anymore."
"I Did you ever say that you were worried about you?"
Mo Tan said without looking back and walked away.
And Liadrin lowered her eyes and smiled...
"Whether you have said it or not, you are the kind of person who worries about every friend around you."

Game time AM12:41
Academy City Central District, Arena, Individual Competition Four-in-One Spliced Arena
Standing at the edge of the venue that was three times wider than the first round, the Mammoth Tribe referee raised his right hand excitedly and said loudly : "The second game of the semi-finals, Mu Xuejian of the Paladin Knight Academy, versus the Diesel family delegation, Liadrin Blood Maple L. Diesel—begin!"
Because the game had already reached a late stage, the referee did not read out any superfluous numbers. Instead, after reading the names of the two players, he immediately jumped off the ring and looked at the two people on the field with bated breath.
As the most dazzling dark horse in this comprehensive knight fighting competition, Mu Xuejian, who almost always ended the battle with a king's posture in the individual and team competitions, has attracted widespread attention, and has even It alarmed several large-scale forces, and even the Holy Lance Knight Academy it represented got a lot of light.
As one of the top knight families on the continent, the strongest young man in the Diesel family delegation, Liadrin, who also ends the battle cleanly every time, naturally attracts attention, although most people They all felt that Mu Xuejian had the advantage, but there were still many viewers who felt that Liadrin, who came from an established family, had a great chance.
In short, everyone can predict that no matter who loses or wins, this is destined to be an exciting game, and it can even be said to be an early finals!
Then——
Just as Mu Xuejian pulled out his [Wushuang] without any expression, and gave Liadrin a hasty knight's salute, the latter who returned the salute gracefully suddenly raised her own sword high. His right hand showed a refreshing and bright smile.
"I surrender."
