The Hero Kicked Me Out of His Party, So I Turned Him into My Maid - Chapter 27

This Kane is undoubtedly the ultimate freeloader—the king of freeloaders.

Brian didn’t waste any more words, but stared at Kane’s white beard and continued:

“Then, I’ll add one more condition. Those older than 25 do not meet the requirements of our Hero Squad.”

Although the scholars did not show it, their dissatisfaction rose again after these words were spoken.

Scholars naturally become more knowledgeable as they age.

It’s understandable that a hero might dislike older scholars for not being able to participate in battles, but 25 years old seems a bit too young.

At academic conferences, scholars under the age of 25 are not even allowed to participate in roundtable discussions.

Kane remained expressionless, standing with his book in hand, his wise and profound eyes beneath his white eyebrows.

He now represents the academic community itself, and no matter what the brave man says, he cannot back down.

“Hero, you are looking for a scholar under the age of 25 who can use fourth-order magic and has extraordinary knowledge. Not only in the kingdom, but also in the entire human race, I’m afraid you can’t find many people who meet the requirements.”

“I have a slight personal relationship with His Majesty the King and know some secrets. If you already have someone in mind, why bother letting the children gather together to cheer, only to make a wasted trip and hurt their feelings?”

Brian remained expressionless, but in his mind he was wondering where this old pedant had come from.

The old pedant first made a baseless guess: the hero already had someone in mind.

This is pure fabrication; it lacks any of the rigor expected of a scholar.

In fact, Brian also had doubts about whether he could find a suitable scholar among the commoners, which is why he agreed to Karina’s request to select one from the nobles later.

Then, this old pedant said he knew some secrets, and later emphasized “gathering together to cheer,” was he threatening the hero with the secret of the “body of popular support”?

While Brian hesitated, Karina stood behind him, at a distance where the “Sound Amplification Gem” was ineffective, and whispered:

“Should I ask this old man to leave?”

Karina had long harbored resentment towards Kane. He was just an old commoner, someone who had lived a long time and had seniority; what right did he have to oppose a hero? Who did he think he was?

Fu Rongwang observed Brian’s expression from a distance. It was obvious at a glance that Brian, having suffered a setback, was thinking about how to retaliate.

Unable to contain her urge to slap Brian, Ariel said to King Furong:

“Let’s go.”

Furongwang nodded and stood up straight again.

“Senior Kane, Brave One, I think I can give it a try.”

The “Magnified Gem” located Fu Rongyuan just in time and projected his image into the sky above the square, forming a “品” shape with the projections of Brian and Kane.

Fu Rongyuan closed the book in her left hand, gently pressed it against her chest, and then lightly tapped the high platform with her right hand.

Brian and Karina saw that after Hibiscus Yuan tapped the edge of the platform, a beacon made of wind elements was placed there.

Beneath Furong Yuan’s feet, two small platforms sprouted from the same wind element beacon, lifting her feet vertically upwards.

The wind blew from the beacon at his feet, causing the hem of his robe and his ponytail to sway slightly.

Scholars initially thought that Fu Rongyuan was so beautiful and had such a delicate figure that she must be a female scholar who liked to wear trousers.

However, when they noticed Fu Rongyuan’s prominent Adam’s apple, they immediately began to look down on her.

“Turns out he was neither male nor female…disgusting.”

Once the two beacons were at the same altitude, a path formed by chaotic blue air currents appeared in the middle, momentarily blocking out the light and casting a shadow among the scholars.

Fu Rongyuan stepped onto the path, and the chaotic airflow around him became orderly, supporting his feet and slowly moving forward.

To avoid attracting attention, Fu Rongyuan was originally located on the outer perimeter of the Royal Capital Square. This passageway stretched across almost the entire square, and it would take an average person more than five minutes to walk across it.

And so, all the scholars present looked up and watched as Fu Rongyuan passed through this passage and reached the other side in one minute.

Fu Rongyuan jumped down easily, and with a wave of her hand, the wind elements immediately dispersed.

Without restraint, the wind blew wildly, tossing the scholars’ robes and book pages into disarray in the square.

Kane waved his hand, using magic to form a protective shield to block the effects of the wind element.

Fu Rongyuan stood before Brian and gracefully bowed:

“Hero, the spell I just demonstrated is the fourth-tier spell ‘Wind Beacon.’ I wonder if it meets your requirements?”

Brian nodded.

That was undoubtedly a fourth-tier spell. It’s just that this androgynous guy deliberately used the gentlest form of it.

In battle, he could easily deploy multiple beacons simultaneously and move back and forth across multiple paths.

Furthermore, he can move from one beacon to another in just a few seconds, whenever he wants.

Moreover, his existence was indeed a slap in the face to the old-fashioned and conservative. Although he disliked people who were neither male nor female, he should still be treated well.

Brian then asked:

What is your name?

Fu Rongyuan glanced at Karina casually before replying:

“My name is Yuan Kalechi. Because the hibiscus flowers were blooming around me when I was born, my family called me Hibiscus Yuan.”

Karina’s fox tail swayed a few times, and it was clear from her eyes that she was momentarily captivated by Furong Yuan.

Upon meeting Fu Rongyuan’s gaze, she realized she couldn’t lose her composure in front of a hero, so she stepped forward and asked:

“Are you a descendant of the Kalech family?”

“Yes, my father is Baron Thousand Kaleich.”

Karina nodded:

“No wonder you have an aristocratic air about you; it turns out you’re from the Kalechi family.”

Brian also had some impressions of the Kaleich family:

“Baron Thousand Kaleich was once a scholar who was granted the title of baron by His Majesty the King for translating an entire set of ancient texts.”

Fu Rongyuan responded with a smile:

“Yes, I inherited my father’s knowledge and want to work hard to decipher more ancient scripts.”

Of course, Ariel was not a descendant of the scholar Kalech family; she was just a country girl from a small mountain village family.

The Demon Queen Evelyn promised Ariel that if Ariel wanted to use a noble’s title as a disguise, she would then “talk” with that noble to confirm Ariel’s identity.

The reason for giving Furongyuan a noble title was naturally to get past Karina.

No one knows the Hero Squad better than Ariel.

Karina has the Tafflin family behind her, and her influence in the team is second only to the hero Brian.

Furthermore, Karina has always looked down on commoners, so…

Karina stepped back a few paces and gave Furong Yuan an approving look.

It seems I’ve already gotten past her.

Next…

In her room in the capital, Ariel looked at Brian’s face through Furong Yuan’s perspective, and at Shalina, who dared not show herself behind him. Her face was filled with gloom.

It was those two who caused him to fall from genius to worthless.

So today, I will conquer you as a genius scholar, and then make you pay the price!
