29: Alice who likes free

Chapter 29: Miss Alice, Who Likes Giving Herself Away for Free

Early the next morning, in the square at the main gate of the Royal Capital Magic Academy.

Although there was still some time before the gates opened, the square was already packed with people, mostly young individuals who were there to participate in the special recruitment assessment.

On the bluestone avenue next to the square, Dick sat inside the Bison Family's luxurious carriage, observing the crowd through the window.

There were nearly ten thousand people competing for nine special recruitment spots; the intensity was imaginable.

But after watching for a while, Dick closed the carriage curtains.

Since just now, Dick had been using Know Yourself and Your Enemy to check everyone's identity information, and he hadn't seen any decent competitors.

After all, this was just a small northern country on the Demon Spirit Continent, so it was normal for the average quality of talented individuals to be low.

Today's special recruitment assessment should be without suspense.

Mina was helping Dick massage his legs beside him, not saying any words of worry, because she noticed Dick's confident expression.

But Miss Alice was different; she knew many dark secrets, so she was always a little worried.

"Dick, Minister Boll is still on his way. We still have a chance to give a gift now..."

Hearing this, Dick gently shook his head, "No need to waste money."

"But, but other great nobles are giving gifts. Only my Bison Family isn't giving one. This is somewhat inappropriate..."

"Forget it," Dick stretched, saying casually, "Giving the same gift is meaningless. If you're going to give a gift, give the most, the most expensive gift. Only then can it achieve the desired effect."

Dick's words were not without reason. Miss Alice was not a naive young girl; on the contrary, she was well-versed in this.

"Then we..."

"Don't give."

Dick pulled up the carriage curtain and looked out the window, "Giving gifts is for convenience, to increase advantage, but it doesn't mean you can break the rules."

"In the face of absolute strength, the rules are tailor-made for me!"

At this moment, another luxurious carriage stopped by the roadside.

"The Stu Family..."

Miss Alice murmured, unable to help but remind him, "Duke Stu's male favorite has also signed up for the Swordsman Department's special recruitment assessment. I heard he's a very powerful genius!"

As she spoke, a green-haired man in light armor stepped out of the Stu Family's carriage. He had a handsome face and a cold demeanor.

「Name」: Jack Gan.

「Race」: Human, Male.

「Age」: 20 years old.

「Profession」: Swordsman, Level 26.

「Talent」: Clear Mind and Still Water (Intermediate), Enchanted Sword Spell (Elementary), Ancient God Sword Body (Elementary).

「Recent Encounters」: Hooked up with Duke Stu, plans to become a special recruitment Swordsman to prove the power of the Ancient God Mind Flow.

Looking at Jack's identity information, Dick nodded gently.

So he was a successor of the Ancient God Mind Flow. With such talent, his future achievements would certainly not be low.

As an ancient sword technique school that has been passed down for millions of years, Dick gave it a high evaluation, at least stronger than most current schools.

The fact that Jack could awaken the talent of Ancient God Sword Body was enough to show his extraordinary talent; he was a successor of this school.

Speaking of which, Dick himself also had several Sword Body talents, and they were all ranked ahead of the Ancient God Sword Body.

Having been reborn a hundred times, Dick had awakened the Ancient God Sword Body more than once, but he did not choose to keep it.

The reason was simple: he didn't think much of it.

Sensing Dick's gaze, Jack snorted coldly and made a provocative gesture, extremely arrogant.

Seeing this, Dick chuckled and shook his head, no longer looking, and slowly closed the carriage curtains.

Arrogance is always the catalyst for a genius's early demise.

And a genius who dies young is not a genius, but a stepping stone for others.

Seeing Dick avoid him, Jack smiled contemptuously. He heard that someone from the Bison Family had also signed up for the Swordsman special recruitment assessment.

Originally, Jack was a little worried, after all, Dick had a bit of fame in the Bison Territory.

But he chickened out just from a glance? Heh heh, not worth worrying about!

Soon, it was nine o'clock, and the Academy gates opened on time. The crowd in the square surged in.

Thanks to the Bison Family's strong connections, Dick didn't need to squeeze in with the sweating crowd but took the VIP channel in the carriage.

After entering the Academy, Dick and Mina separated as their assessment venues were different.

Only a few dozen people signed up for the Holy Knight special recruitment assessment; this had always been a very unpopular profession.

After all, Holy Knights had to take the front line during fights, act as tanks, attract damage, and had a very high injury and death rate.

Therefore, Mina's pressure was very low. As the future Dark Witch, her talent was already heaven-defying.

In just a few months, she had risen from an ordinary person with no profession to a Level 14 Holy Knight, and had even awakened over a dozen talents, big and small!

Although Dick's high-quality teaching contributed greatly, Mina's own talent was the most important factor.

Undoubtedly, Mina was the least likely to fail.

In contrast, the Swordsman special recruitment had the most applicants, and even many great nobles participated, making the suspense full.

After getting off the carriage, Miss Alice took Dick to a super-large indoor training ground.

At this time, wooden platforms had already been set up here, and many people were lining up to draw lots.

Applicants needed to participate in ten matches first. The top twelve with the best overall performance would become provisional special recruits and proceed to the final assessment!

As soon as they arrived at the training ground, the two immediately became the focus of attention.

To be precise, Miss Alice became the focus. Dick, beside her, was just a passerby who was subconsciously ignored.

Most of these applicants were from out of town. This was the first time they had seen Miss Alice, the most beautiful young girl ranked first in the empire.

"This, is this the second young lady of the Bison Family? She is the most beautiful young girl I have ever seen..."

"Uncle didn't lie to me. It's true that one look and you're captivated. I will never marry again in this life!"

"I must succeed this year. Miss Alice is still waiting for me..."

"What are you kidding? Would Miss Alice take a liking to you?"

"As long as I can become a special recruitment Swordsman, I will definitely gain Miss Alice's favor..."

All the boys were whispering, their topics basically revolving around Miss Alice. She made all the adolescent boys restless.

"Hmph, Dick, now you know this young lady's charm, right? You must have saved the world in your previous life to possess me..."

Dick's expression remained unchanged. He glanced at Miss Alice and said, "Just a skeleton in pink."

"A skele-skeleton? You actually said this young lady is a skeleton?" Miss Alice's face flushed red, a little angry.

"Don't misunderstand, I'm not targeting you," Dick corrected, "To me, all women are skeletons in pink."

"Stinky Dick, you're just being stubborn..."

Dick looked indifferent, gazing at the boys around who were mesmerized by Miss Alice, and shook his head:

"Seeing beauty as a skeleton makes me desireless; seeing a skeleton as beauty makes me fearless. It's that simple."

Turning his head, Dick looked at the beautiful and moving Miss Alice and said softly, "No matter how beautiful a woman is, when the skin is removed, she's just two hundred and six bones."

Dick had once possessed everything; desire could no longer control him. Now, he controlled desire.

"Although that's the logic..."

Miss Alice looked at Dick's calm eyes and said cunningly, "But you weren't like that in bed last night."

"Heh heh, that's another matter entirely."

"Wh-what matter?"

Dick smiled slightly, "You delivered yourself to me for free, how could I not take it?"

Hearing this, Miss Alice's face flushed red, and she looked away in shame and anger.

Because last night, it was indeed she who knocked on Dick's door...
