Translator: 549690339
Margaret Yule had a fair measure of her own strength, and never expected herself to be able to join the Pharmacy Club.
But if David Jones wanted to join the Pharmacy Club, she planned to join the Mesona Club, a closely related club that specialized in cultivating elixirs.
“We’ll see about that, I can’t be sure right now,” said David Jones.
Although joining a club could provide a wealth of resources, with Audrey and the backing of her teacher, he did not want to waste time joining a student club at the moment.
“I wonder if the admission quota can be cleared by offering myself?”
At this point, as she looked at the voracious eater David Jones in front of her continuing to devour food, Margaret Yule couldn’t help but daydream.
“Unfortunately, my potential is still too poor, and offering myself in return seems more like a retaliation.” With this thought, the smile on her cheeks began to fade.
In the Flowery Kingdom, where Arcane Force could be used for beauty enhancement, every girl could be beautiful as long as they were willing to spend money.
So, in Margaret Yule’s eyes, her natural beauty and well-proportioned figure were not worthy of praise.
The only talent she had that she could show off seemed even more negligible compared to David Jones.
“What’s wrong with you? Why are you looking at me like that?”
David Jones noticed a burning gaze cast upon himself from across the table, and promptly waved his right palm in front of Margaret Yule.
“Nothing!”
With a blush, the now conscious Margaret Yule subconsciously took out a black card from her Star Ring and handed it to David Jones.
“This is one billion star coins.”
“What is this?”
Looking at the luxurious black card handed to him by Margaret Yule, David Jones could not help but be slightly stunned.
After thinking about it, he joked, “Giving me so much money all of a sudden, Rich Sister, are you trying to keep me?”
Unexpectedly, Margaret Yule exclaimed with excitement, “Really? One billion star coins is enough to keep you!”
Upon realizing what she had said, she quickly covered her red lips, looking bashful with her cheeks flushed and even her fair arms slightly trembling.
“Cough, cough.”
Seeing Margaret Yule’s true intention, David Jones, who had initially wanted to use humor to shift the topic, could only try to hide his embarrassment with a cough.
“That’s not it, I just wanted to say thank you. Without your help, I wouldn’t have made it to Rosewood College with my strength.” Margaret Yule hurriedly explained.
Looking at the panicked girl in front of him, with no trace of her usual ladylike demeanor, David Jones spoke sincerely.
“Aren’t we friends? Besides, your admission to Rosewood College was all thanks to Professor Harvey and your own strength. It really had little to do with me. You should take this back.”
Truth be told, Margaret Yule’s initial help was significant, big enough to allow him to obtain a Seventh-tier Overlord Beast, which was his pet water officer Lolo, but he had never asked Audrey for help.
“I’m sorry.” Margaret Yule lowered her head and took back the black card, putting it back into her Star Ring, and said shyly.
Her courage had been exhausted from the conversation earlier.
Gratitude and grievances come with every grain of rice. Perhaps it was because of the enormous pressure she had accumulated, but she felt as if she had just lost her mind!
It was crazy! Her simple use of money to repay their kindness seemed like nothing short of an insult to their friendship!
Just when Margaret Yule was about to feel so awkward that she would bury her toes into the ground, David Jones took out his cell phone to change the subject.
“Kevin Mansfield wants to have a battle with me. Do you want to come and watch?”
“Sure.”
Taking the opportunity, Margaret Yule nodded heavily.
Battle Ground.
Looking at the information displayed on the cell phone screen, Kevin Mansfield’s face was full of excitement.
He had originally thought that he would have to wait until tomorrow to battle with David Jones, not expecting that today he would have a chance at such an exciting battle. Compared to this, the opponents standing before him now seemed somewhat annoying.
“Finish it, Illusion Centipede.”
“Hiss!”
Upon hearing the command, the Illusion Centipede’s eyes flashed red. The Thunder Pegasus, which had previously been able to contend with it for a moment, fell heavily from the sky like lightning and flint under the majestic psychic force, causing a distant rumble.
Seeing the Thunder Pegasus had lost consciousness, the referee blew the whistle.
“Winner: Kevin Mansfield!”
Looking down at his pet, Kevin Mansfield’s mouth raised a confident smile, full of fighting spirit.
“Little Centipede, we’ll have to go all out in the upcoming battles, or else if we make a slight mistake, we’ll be completely defeated.”
“Hiss!”
The Illusion Centipede raised its head high, full of fighting spirit.
“Outdoor Battle Ground, Duel Platform No. 3, that’s right, it’s here.”
After confirming the location, David Jones and Margaret Yule arrived at a spacious and atmospheric duel platform following the surrounding signs.
“Ever since I saw your outstanding performance in the ranking matches, I’ve wanted to have a duel with you. Thank you very much.”
Upon seeing David Jones arrived, Kevin Mansfield didn’t hesitate to bow to his junior without regard for his own senior status.
“Senior, you’re being too kind. Please give me your guidance in the upcoming match.”
Seeing the strong fighting spirit in Kevin Mansfield’s eyes, David Jones smiled.
Just right, such an opponent was worthy of Daphne’s effort!
“Let’s start the battle now!” Kevin Mansfield couldn’t wait any longer.
David Jones nodded.
“Let me act as the referee.” Margaret Yule said, looking at the vacant referee position at the edge of the duel platform.
“Alright, thank you in advance.”
Fearing that the battle results would have a bad influence, Kevin Mansfield hadn’t even looked for a referee for this match, focusing on keeping it strictly confidential.
After all, it was only natural for him as a senior to win against a freshman.
But only Kevin himself knew that he had no confidence in defeating David Jones at all, which was also the reason he was so excited about this match.
“The match begins.”
With Margaret Yule’s command, Kevin’s Star Ring shone slightly, and a ferocious thousand-foot figure suddenly appeared from the dazzling white Rune Circle.
Its head and back were black, its abdomen light gold, and it was about two meters long. On each side of its head were a pair of terrifying compound eyes, which made it difficult to look at without feeling dizzy.
The slender body was made up of many segments, black armor covering each one with toxic needles. Even ordinary people could perceive the extremely toxic substances covering its body.
At the same time, David Jones summoned Daphne’s figure in an instant.
When he used his Identify Talent to see the detailed information of the Illusion Centipede, David Jones’s expression became quite strange.
“Pet Name”: Illusion Centipede
“Pet Type”: Psychic, Poison
“Species Level”: King
“Grade”: Class IV lower-level
“Species Skill”: Illusion Fantasy, Illusory Poison Stinger, Psychic Interference, Psychic Toxin, King Domination
“Senior Kevin’s pet is actually a dual-type Psychic and Poison Illusion Centipede, what a coincidence.”
David Jones’s eyes brightened, feeling more and more that accepting the senior’s match was a wise choice..
