Chapter 26

The elf teacher waved his hand, allowing Long Yi to enter. Long Yi swayed and slowly walked to his seat. Long Yi, Ailin, and Wesley always sat together. Ailin's dragon language scores were the best in the class, while Long Yi was the worst. Naturally, Ailin took on the responsibility of helping Long Yi study.

However, at this moment, those three seats were all empty.

Long Yi was puzzled. These two shouldn't have taken leave, right?

Just then, the classroom door was pushed open forcefully, and a man with a face full of blood rushed in. Long Yi looked closely and saw that it was Wesley!

"Brother! You're back!"

Wesley's clothes were covered in footprints, and his collar and sleeves were torn in many places.

The elf teacher frowned slightly, took a few steps forward, and raised his hand, speaking in dragon language: "Purify." A misty light flickered, and the blood on Wesley's face and the dirt all over his body disappeared.

At this moment, Long Yi saw that Wesley's face had two small scars, and the blood on his face was the result of his nose being broken.

Long Yi's expression gradually turned grim. He walked up to Wesley and asked coldly, "Who?"

"Second year, Army Department, more than thirty people. Ailin and I had just left the cafeteria when they blocked us on the way. Ailin put on the mithril dragon armor and blocked them, throwing me out and telling me to run and get help!"

Wesley said this as quickly as possible, then looked at Long Yi.

"Teacher?"

Long Yi turned to look at the elf.

The elf nodded and then turned away. "I saw nothing."

"Who dares to touch our first-year students!?"

The fat boy was furious. No matter how things were within the class, being bullied by outsiders was absolutely intolerable!

"I'll go to the Army Department and get people!"

The thin boy was the first to rush out.

Wesley led everyone from the Air Force Department, and they marched through the classroom to a secluded place. They saw blood all over the ground, but no sign of the second-year students. Sad cries came from the roadside drainage ditch.

It was the cry of a mithril dragon!

Everyone rushed over and saw a person, half lying in the water, covered in dirt, with the mithril dragon weakly lying on top of him, its cries gradually weakening!

"Ailin!"

Long Yi jumped down and picked up Ailin, whose face was covered in blood. The mithril dragon, seeing it was Long Yi, laid its small head on Ailin's chest and lost consciousness.

Ailin, his body shaken,勉强 opened his eyes, his lips trembling, and he managed a faint smile: "This time, I didn't lose face."

After saying that, he fainted.

At this moment, a large group from the Army Department arrived.

Everyone looked at Ailin, who had lost consciousness, and fell silent.

"I told you, don't provoke the second-year students. Look at this, beaten up like this, sigh, why bother?"

A voice came from the Army Department. The coldness in Long Yi's eyes deepened, and he was about to speak when the fat boy and the thin boy had already walked over and pulled someone out of the crowd.

"Hey, why are you grabbing me? I'm just stating the facts, did I say anything wrong?"

The person was still trying to defend himself but saw the fat boy raise his hand high.

"What are you going to do! My father is..."

Smack!

A slap landed, making the person spin around, covering his mouth, and not daring to speak again.

"Before we can deal with outsiders, we must first deal with the inside. Such a person would surely become a traitor in war. I think it's better to expel him."

The thin boy sneered.

Long Yi's anger was hard to suppress, but at this moment, he became even calmer.

"This time, I didn't lose face."

These were Ailin's words, containing so much meaning. Even though Long Yi wasn't a person who paid attention to details, he could guess that before this time, Ailin had "lost face" many times.

When, where? It didn't matter. Long Yi had once seen Ailin being bullied on the first day of school, almost shedding tears, that was losing face.

Ailin was definitely from a noble family, and not a small one. Wesley definitely knew, but Long Yi didn't inquire, as he wasn't very interested in this matter. If a noble's expectations for their offspring were not met, the result would only be one.

"Losing face."

That time in the cafeteria, Long Yi had already determined that Ailin could never be a qualified warrior. Despite his astonishing talent in dragon language, even if he could really cast up to seven layers of magic, such a personality would definitely become a burden on the battlefield, and he might even lose his life quickly because of this personality.

Long Yi considered Ailin a friend and didn't want to change his friend's personality, so he didn't think Ailin was suitable for the battlefield.

Moreover, Ailin himself knew this.

Ailin had always watched Long Yi's battles, the kind that were exhilarating, even with a body full of injuries, never giving up! Each battle made Ailin's heart race, and he often dreamed of being like Long Yi, and this impulse grew stronger with each of Long Yi's battles!

Ailin paid attention to Long Yi, and Long Yi, of course, also watched him. He could feel the change in Ailin's eyes.

Ailin's eyes, which had once avoided, gradually showed a desire for battle!

"Everyone, disperse."

Long Yi said.

"Why disperse? Not going to take revenge?"

The fat boy asked.

"Look behind you, do you want to be expelled?"

The fat boy turned around and saw some school mentors and leaders appearing.

"Are we just going to let them off?"

The fat boy was reluctant, this was a grudge he couldn't bear.

"Let them off?" Long Yi sneered, "Who said we're letting them off? Just making them die a bit slower."

After saying that, Long Yi carried Ailin and rushed to the infirmary.

The fat boy paused for a moment, then suddenly said, "You heard what Brother Long said! Go back immediately! We continue the class! Wait for Brother Long to return!"

"Okay!"

The Air Force Department responded loudly, startling the Army Department. They all wondered, how long had it been since the start of the school year, and the Air Force Department had already chosen a leader? The Army Department and the Air Force Department trained on the same field, and they had seen Long Yi's battle with the second-year students, and the news of Long Yi challenging the leader of the second-year Air Force Department had already spread throughout the grade. But it was still hard to believe how quickly it had happened.

Wesley followed Long Yi, silent for a long time, and finally spoke.

"Brother Long, I, I feel like a coward. Between the two of us, I'm clearly the strongest, but I could only leave Ailin there to be beaten..."

Wesley's eyes were bloodshot. He, Wesley, truly wasn't afraid of being beaten. Since childhood, because of his ability to sense dragons, he had been beaten many times, and he had also run away. But he had never run away when his friends were being beaten. Especially when he saw Ailin's current state, he felt as if a huge stone was blocking his heart, making him very uncomfortable.

Long Yi looked at Wesley but said nothing, making Wesley's eyes even redder. He wanted to tell Long Yi that he, Wesley, wasn't a coward, but at that time, if he didn't go for help, the two of them couldn't have fought those people! That was the best choice at that moment.

But Wesley still didn't have the courage to say it, now it was too late. He could only silently pray that Ailin would be fine, because he knew very well who stood behind Ailin, this seemingly weak little guy.

They quickly arrived at the infirmary. The doctors had just seen Long Yi off when they saw him return with a child covered in blood.

"Prepare the examination room."

Two doctors hurriedly led the way, allowing Long Yi to carry Ailin into the examination room and place him on the bed. Seeing Ailin's injuries, Long Yi couldn't help but think of what he had said.

"Losing face."

Long Yi hadn't lived in a noble family, so he didn't know how important face was to a noble family. But from the history he knew, sometimes, face could even destroy a country.

The doctors asked Long Yi and Wesley to wait outside. The two stood in silence. Wesley looked dejected, while Long Yi seemed lost in thought.

Soon, a doctor came out.

"He has multiple external injuries, but they are not severe. This child looks weak, but his constitution is actually very good. We have already provided initial treatment, and there are no hidden illnesses. You can rest assured, but he needs to stay here and rest for a while."

The doctor said.

Hearing this, Wesley finally felt relieved, and a smile slowly appeared on his face.

At this moment, a hand suddenly rested on Wesley's shoulder. Wesley, still smiling, turned around and saw a fist suddenly enlarge in front of him.

Bang!

Long Yi's single punch knocked Wesley to the ground.

"This punch is for running away. Next time, if something happens, have your dragon sense me."

Long Yi said with a smile.

Wesley, seeing stars from the punch, couldn't speak, but a silent cry echoed in his heart: "Today is Dragon Language class, my dragon is still sleeping in the classroom, I can only sense it, but I can't call it!"

But when these words reached his lips, they turned into two words.

"Thank you."

Yes, Wesley was grateful to Long Yi. This punch had greatly reduced his guilt. At least he knew that Long Yi didn't blame him, because Wesley knew very well that Long Yi's strength was enough to kill him with one punch.

Long Yi, seeing Wesley fall, and hearing his words, gradually smiled.

This Wesley was definitely a talent. His strength wasn't great, but he had excellent judgment and execution.

In that moment, an ordinary person would easily get hot-headed and fight to the death with their brother. Everyone knew that if one person went for help, the second person would suffer less. After all, only a limited number of people could stand by one person, and the total damage would be limited. The shorter the attack time, the less damage would be suffered.

But, how many people could truly do this?

This Wesley, had more than just a businessman's mind.

On the way, Long Yi was still thinking about Ailin's words.

Finally not losing face?

When Long Yi saw Ailin say this in his weakened state, he knew that Ailin was ready.

Long Yi originally planned to cause a big commotion in the second year, but at this moment, he suddenly abandoned this plan. He had a new idea.

Revenge was more satisfying when left to others.
