Chapter Sixteen: Defeat

  "Negi!"

  Don't get me wrong, it was Mokona who let out a cry, not me.

  She and Setsuna suddenly appeared from somewhere at some point and walked up to Negi's side.

  "Negi-kun, Nekane-kun, what are you doing here?" This was a bewildered Negi.

  Makie and Setsuna exchanged a glance, saying: "Negi, we've already heard about it, don't worry, Negi will definitely pass the assessment smoothly."

  Setsuna nodded hastily and said: "The teacher is a very good person, if it's Negi, he'll definitely let you pass, so don't worry, Negi-sensei."

  I stood by and listened, embarrassed, rubbing my nose slightly.

  Even if you say so for a moment, but if Wen Jie Lin doesn't allow me to let water go, I might also let water go.

  With the encouragement of Negi and Setsuna, Negi gradually regained some confidence, and his eyebrows also slowly relaxed.

  By this point, I knew I no longer had a part to play.

  Forget it, I'll just go back and discuss with Yijun and Jielin about what to do during the test.

  I couldn't really kill Negi, or I'd be hunted down by Lord Dao all over the world.

  After saying goodbye to Xiao Ye, they agreed to meet again tomorrow and returned to the wooden house.

  Yin Jielin seemed still asleep, while Chachamaru was busily attending to her on the side.

  It's great, I also want a thoughtful maid like this.

  "Hey, Yiwén." I thought for half a day before tentatively calling out.

  "Is anything wrong?" Wen Juan still hadn't fallen asleep, and she sat up in bed, giving me a faint glance.

  Is it an illusion? I always feel like her gaze is saying that if you dare to ask for mercy, I will kill you.

  It's probably just an illusion.

  I thought so and said with a stiff upper lip: "It's about the assessment, can't we really change to Cha Cha Maru?"

  Yin Jie Lin tilted her head and looked at me with a cold smile, saying: "Do you think that if it were Chachamaru, Negi would have passed the assessment?"

  He glanced at Tea-chan's expressionless face with a cautious gaze and said, "At least there is some hope."

  "You mean you think he's no longer a threat to you." Yvonne Jie Lin seemed to want to laugh, but it was all cold smiles.

  "You're getting a bit too arrogant, aren't you? Don't forget, he's the son of Qian Zu Fa Shi."

  I naturally know whose son he is, but what does that have to do with anything? Negi's current strength is far from being a match for me.

  I rubbed my temples, feeling a bit of a headache, and said: "Nagi indeed has great potential, but that's all it is - potential. Potential doesn't equal actual strength, you should understand this point, Yoriko."

  Yi Wenjielin seemed to be moved by what I said and fell silent, lost in thought.

  Seeing this, I hastily added fuel to the fire and said: "Undeniably, Negi will indeed be able to reach his father's realm in the future, and may even surpass him, but for now he is just a ten-year-old kid."

  His father Najee was already known as invincible at the age of thirteen and was active on the battlefield.

  Nonsense, of course I know that ridiculously powerful guy, but...

  "Negi is not Nagi, you shouldn't think of Negi as Nagi's child and demand that Negi live up to Nagi's standards. That would be very unfair to Nagi."

  Yiwen fell silent, and the room seemed to regain an unprecedented calmness all at once.

  ……

  So, as the days went by, I also found time to go and watch Negi's training.

  Very hardworking and diligent, it seems that because of the test, his training became much more bitter than the plot.

  It's really admirable and touching.

  Besides, many classmates in his class are helping him, so I guess there shouldn't be any problem.

  I vaguely thought of it.

  Anyway, the test has finally arrived.

  So, early in the morning, before dawn, I followed Yvaine to the testing site.

  Cha Cha Mero is still hugging her sister Cha Cha Zero and says.

  Waiting for Negi in the cold wind.

  "Is this really okay, Master?" Chachamaru said: "The probability of Negi hitting the target is less than 0.01%, if it continues like this, Master, you won't be able to take Negi as a disciple."

  "I know, but I really don't plan on taking any disciples." Yi Wen still insisted on saving face, "Moreover, the condition of defeating me is already very lenient, if you can't even do that..."

  I gave her a white eye and didn't say anything else.

  It's Tea who kept shouting non-stop wanting to change to a better seat so that she could see clearly.

  Then, the time for the test arrived, and Negi came.

  "Negi Springfield has arrived for his master's certification exam." He shouted out in a very cool tone.

  Hehe, Yijian Jielin smiled and said: "Welcome, let's get started."

  Just like in a movie, Negi didn't just come alone, but also brought along a pair of cheerleaders, and slowly walked towards me amidst the cheers of everyone.

  I glanced at Yvonne Jolin and she didn't seem to have any intention of going easy on me. When she saw the cheerleaders, she looked very unhappy too.

  "Ugh!" I couldn't help but sigh and said to Negi, who was attacking me: "Don't hold back, use everything you can."

  "Yes, Wang Fei teacher." Negi responded with a low shout: "Execute contract 90 seconds, Negi Springfield."

  Then he flew over and pounced on me, using authentic boxing techniques, fierce tiger going down the mountain.

  As fast as lightning, as urgent as a thunderclap, even if it's only been a few days of contact, the beat is already well-formed.

  But it's too late.

  For me, Nega's current speed is like slow motion, too slow!

  She took a light step back and barely avoided Negi's attack.

  He himself seemed unimpressed, his momentum already having been unleashed, a string of attacks that in the eyes of ordinary people had already reached an extreme speed, dazzling and bewildering.

  Facing these attacks, I yawned and retreated.

  Since you won't hold back, I won't either. However, I don't plan on attacking, just dodging like this will do.

  Each time, I narrowly dodged Negi's attacks, leaving him unable to land a single hit on me.

  If it were someone else, they would have given up already.

  Ninety seconds later, Negi's speed suddenly slowed down, but he didn't seem to mind, concentrating on his own fist technique and constantly improving.

  What a terrible insight!

  I couldn't help but feel a sense of melancholy wash over me.

  Suddenly, Negi's originally slow speed suddenly increased by a large margin, and it was even stronger than when he executed the contract.

  Something, Negi's fist had already appeared in front of his eyes, only a few millimeters away.

  My eyes locked onto hers and I quickly retreated a step back at a speed surpassing what the naked eye could see, dodging Negi's surprise attack once again.

  "Hit it!" In the cheerleading squad, Asa Minami almost jumped up with excitement.

  "No, it can't be!" he said with a solemn face at that moment. Gufi nodded on the side, "What a pity!"

  "Hey, get on with it! What are you doing? Hurry up and defeat him already!" Yvonne couldn't help but shout out.

  I let out a sigh again and asked Nekomata, "Are we going to continue?"

  "Yes!" A very beautiful answer, with a firm gaze and no confusion in her eyes.

  "Why don't we try this instead? Let's use magic," I said. "If you can hit me with magic, that counts too."

  "Huh, really?" Negi couldn't help but look at Evangeline.

  The latter snorted and turned his head to one side, neither agreeing nor disagreeing.

  It's settled then.

  Negi stopped his attack, took a deep breath, readjusted his stance, and then attacked again.

  This time with magic, the power is undoubtedly much greater, and there are many more choices.

  But unfortunately, still didn't meet me.

  When Nergi exhausted his magical power and fainted, he still launched a final attack on me.

  "Ninety-nine rays of light..."

  My body felt light and airy, and I consecutively created over a dozen afterimages, allowing me to easily dodge Negi's final attack.

  "What a pity." Yin's face looked quite unsightly as he gazed down at Negi's cheerleading squad from his elevated position, saying: "Tell the little devil that the disciple recruitment test has failed. Let him give up on the idea of becoming my disciple."

  I looked at Yvain, whose face had turned somewhat pale, and said in a low voice: "This is what you wanted."

  "Nonsense!" He glared at me fiercely and quickly left.

  Looking at the cheerleading squad huddled together crying, I quietly walked to Setsuna's side. Setsuna looked up at me with a pained expression and said: "Teacher..."

  I shook my head and said, "When Negi wakes up, have him come find me at the cabin."

  "For a moment, he was startled and exclaimed: 'Does the teacher plan to teach him personally?'"

  "No, it's actually Wen Jielin who is his best teacher."

  "But isn't Wen already..."

  I gently pressed my index finger on her lips, stopping her from continuing.

  "Some things aren't as simple as they seem on the surface."

  After saying this sentence, I turned around and left.

  Well, recommend another book of mine, listen to readers' opinions, and add an introduction.

  This is a story about an innocent boy who unexpectedly becomes a dragon knight, and on his journey in life, he keeps pushing away older sisters, holding down lolis, and occasionally, married women.
