At the same time, on the other side, in the guard dormitory of the palace, Hu Che, Ike and Cerelia, who were selected by Luo Ji to join the guard team, could not take up their posts directly.

To put it simply, it means that you still need to go through a period of training.

Just like what Ike's uncle said back then, His Majesty's bodyguards have to do more than just protect His Majesty's safety.

When Wang Kai asked them if they were literate, Ike's admiration for his uncle could not be greater. He was so wise!

Afterwards, Ike discovered that not only Cerelia, but also Kotetsu, who looked very uneducated at first glance, was unexpectedly a literate and educated person, which made him even more grateful.

Three months of training as guards have passed in the blink of an eye, and the three of them have become familiar with each other.

Kotetsu, who had just finished a day of training, was not tired. As soon as he came in, he shouted at the top of his voice...

"Cerelia, fight with me again!"

However, in the face of Kotetsu's shouting, Cerelia, who was reading a book at the time, didn't even raise her head.

"Didn't you lose enough last time?"

Note that the last time Cerelia mentioned here does not refer to the time of the competition, but half a month ago.

In the quarter-finals of the selection competition, Kotetsu was really upset about losing, so he turned around and ran to Cerilia for another round.

However, among the three of them, compared to Kotetsu who was more aggressive, Cerelia and Ike were not aggressive in character. Therefore, Cerelia directly refused at the time.

It wasn't until half a month ago that Cerelia, who was really annoyed by Kotetsu, agreed to the other party's request for another fight.

In the final result, Kotetsu lost again without any surprise.

To a certain extent, the loss was even more humiliating than before. Kotetsu still refused to accept it, and the result was the current scene.

"It's different, that was already half a month ago, and I have become stronger!"

While speaking, Kotetsu clenched his fists, showing a mysterious confidence on his face.

Faced with such words, Cerelia turned over a page in the book in her hand, and then spoke without saltiness...

"You said the same thing last time. How can anything change in half a month?"

In the face of the natural lifespan of the elves, which is as long as 1,500 years, half a month? That is almost like the blink of an eye.

Of course, even without such a long natural lifespan as a backdrop, if you want to improve your strength, it definitely cannot be done in half a month.

Ike is undoubtedly aware of this.

His strength was acquired through years of hard study and practice.

It's not that it's impossible to make progress in half a month, but with that level of progress, it's almost impossible to defeat Cerelia, who has an overwhelming advantage in both duel and combat methods.

However, that guy Kotetsu obviously didn't understand this. If he could, this reckless man wouldn't have been pestering Cerelia for another fight.

In the end, perhaps because she was a little impatient due to the noise, Cerelia's two willow-leaf-like thin eyebrows frowned slightly, and her eyes finally moved away from the page in front of her.

Then, after glancing at Hu Che's brash look, she turned her head slightly and suddenly smiled at Ike next to her.

"Meow?"

It was probably the instinct of the orcs that was at work. Cerelia's smile made Ike feel inexplicably panicked.

Then, before he could think about it, Cerelia said to Kotetsu...

"Kotetsu, if you want to challenge me, you must first defeat Ike. I am the champion of the competition. If you can't even beat Ike, then you can't beat me."

After saying that, before the two of them could react, Cerelia stood up. The Elf Ranger's vigorous skills were fully displayed at this moment, and in a few leaps, he completely disappeared.

At that moment, Ike, who was still staying in place, could clearly feel a pair of tiger eyes locked directly on him.

"Ike, fight with me!"

"Why?!!!"

----Dividing line----

After noon, the sun began to slowly tilt towards the west. Cerelia, who was leaning on a large tree branch in the palace courtyard, stretched hard.

At this moment, Ike's little head emerged from the bushes nearby.

"Cerelia, you've done me a terrible job!"

Cerilia blinked quickly after hearing this.

"According to Kotetsu's reckless fighting style, it's impossible to beat you, right?"

"That's true, but it's troublesome to be entangled by Kotetsu."

Having said this, Ike couldn't help but sigh.

Cerelia smiled slightly.

"Ike, why don't you think about this from another angle?"

"Change the angle?"

"Treat the battle with Kotetsu as an opportunity to perform."

After hearing these words, Ike pondered for a moment, then showed a look of sudden realization, and then asked quite neatly...

"So what does this mean?"

Regarding this, Cerelia was a little speechless. Apart from fighting, this little guy Ike really didn't like to use his brain at all.

"Although we are all guards, the one who is more outstanding will be valued by His Majesty, right?"

Regarding this question, Ike thought for a while and felt that there was nothing wrong with it, so he nodded.

"If you don't even have a chance to perform, how will your Majesty know whether you are good or not? You see, isn't defeating Kotetsu a good opportunity?"

"this……"

After hearing these words, Ike rubbed his chin.

"But Cerelia, if that's the case, why don't you go?"

Facing this problem, Cerelia still smiled that way.

"I have already defeated him in the competition. What's the point of doing the same thing several times?"

In this regard, Ike always felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't explain it at once, and in the end he just didn't bother to think about it.

After sweeping his eyes left and right, he fell directly on the book that Cerelia had been holding in her hand. After three months of getting along, Ike was not particularly clear about other things, but Cerelia was free.

When he was walking, he would definitely be holding a book in his hand. Ike knew this, and at the same time, he was a little curious in his heart.

"Cerelia, what book have you been reading?"

"This?"

After hearing this, Cerelia raised the book in her hand slightly.

"This is a version of the play Hamlet."

"Oh! I know this, His Majesty wrote it!"

In response, a hint of surprise flashed in Cerelia's eyes.

"I thought you were the type of person who is not interested in books."

"Uh hehehe..."

After hearing this, Ike let out an awkward laugh. In fact, Cerelia was right. Out of his admiration for Luo Ji, he did buy this book, but it is still basically brand new.

But that’s what he said...

"As long as it is related to His Majesty, I basically know everything."

Then, as if he remembered something, he raised his chin slightly proudly.

"Let me tell you, when I was very young, I met His Majesty and His Majesty even touched my head. At that time, I made up my mind that I must join the Guards."

When Cerelia heard this, a trace of trance flashed across her face.

After discovering this, Ike couldn't help blinking and asked...

"What's wrong?"

"nothing."

After coming back to her senses, Cerilia shook her head, and then focused her gaze on the object in front of her again.

"I also met His Majesty when I was a child. I was only two hundred and sixty-nine years old at that time..."

"..."
