Two weeks later, the exchange group from the British Magic High School arrived as scheduled.
Because it was an official exchange, Dean Xiao personally came to the school gate to greet them as a sign of respect.
The leader of the British Empire was a fully-trained mage with four super-level skills, and also the vice principal of the university where the exchange competition was being held.
The leaders of both sides started talking as soon as they met, introducing each other to the students behind them.
Especially when the blonde, blue-eyed female student leading the British exchange group was introduced, everyone present turned their attention to her.
Despite the stares of everyone present, the woman remained poised and elegant, a smile playing on her lips, the air of nobility that came with living in a prominent family naturally emanating from her.
Especially when people learned that this girl, who was exceptionally beautiful and had a remarkable temperament, was actually the first heir of the Victorian royal family, the royal family on which the sun never sets, some people even gasped in shock.
The Victoria family is famous all over the world, after all, they are true dragon tamers!
Its family includes a forbidden spell mage capable of casting forbidden spells on their own, as well as a monarch-level dragon as a contracted beast.
In reality, their strength far surpasses that of the Mu family, the most prominent clan in the Great Xia Dynasty.
After all, the Mu clan was only a second-rate aristocratic family at best in the world.
The Victorian family was a truly reclusive and aristocratic family.
Su Lan stood in the line and, after confirming that the girl was Eileen, only glanced at her twice before her mind wandered and she didn't pay much attention to her.
However, he didn't care, but he noticed that some people in the exchange group opposite him kept glancing at him.
Su Lan turned her head and saw that Eileen quickly turned her head back.
This scene left Su Lan somewhat bewildered.
He was quite certain that he had never met the other person before, so why would the other person be paying attention to him?
Even when Dean Xiao introduced himself, the other party only glanced at him politely.
Su Lan, who was unaware of the situation, didn't care; Serafina was currently in his contract space.
If danger were to occur, Serafina would be able to stand in front of Su Lan immediately.
The exchange match is scheduled for tomorrow morning.
After all, it took the British delegation nearly eleven hours to fly here.
After a long and tiring journey, starting a competition immediately can easily lead to a decline in performance.
Therefore, resting tonight and playing the game tomorrow is the best option.
Before parting ways, Su Lan, with her back to the exchange group, still sensed that faint gaze.
This time, Su Lan didn't need to turn around; Serafina, inside the contract space, could see the situation around Su Lan.
Is it her?
"Yes, Master!"
After confirming with Serafina that it was Eileen looking at him, he became curious about Eileen's frequent glances at him.
He didn't think it was his good looks that attracted her.
It wasn't that the domineering aura hidden within him leaked out, causing the other party to be attracted to him before they even had a formal encounter with him.
So, what exactly is it?
He became curious.
He tried asking Serafina, but received an unexpected answer.
...
Meanwhile, guided by the staff at Mingzhu Academy responsible for welcoming guests, the group walked to a large hotel a few hundred meters away to check in.
As the darling of the entire exchange group, Eileen's every word and action, even the simplest little gestures, are noticed by those around her.
Not to mention, Eileen had been glancing frequently at someone in the Pearl Academy across the street.
"Eileen, I noticed you looking across the street several times just now. Did something happen?"
A boy standing next to Eileen, suppressing his admiration for her, tried to remain calm and started a conversation.
However, the boy, who had hoped to use this to start a conversation and have a relaxed and pleasant exchange, was disappointed.
"No, thank you for your concern, Alexander."
Eileen wore a standard smile, her manners impeccable.
She seemed approachable, but the boy knew that this meant she didn't want to continue the conversation.
He opened his mouth, then left with the words, "You can ask me for help anytime if you need anything, I always have time," before automatically slowing his pace and moving a distance away from Eileen.
The boy's initiative to strike up a conversation, and his somewhat dejected departure, were naturally noticed by the other boys in the group.
However, no one came up to comfort the classmate who had struck up a conversation with Eileen; on the contrary, they were quite disdainful of it.
Even a toad wants to eat swan meat; doesn't it know it's not worthy?
The teachers leading the team noticed this, but didn't pay much attention to it.
Teenage boys often like to attract the attention of pretty girls, but it's best not to have unrealistic expectations when there's a significant disparity in their social status.
Eileen didn't care about what others thought, or rather, she didn't care what others were thinking.
Now that she was back in her luxury suite, her gaze fell on the female mage who had emerged from her shadow.
As the first in line to the Victorian family, and with the current head of the family missing, Eileen would naturally receive strong protection from the family.
For example, the female mage who lurked in Eileen's shadow to protect her was a super-class mage with full mastery of all four elements.
If it weren't for the fact that we came from Bactria, one of the safest countries in the world...
Perhaps this time the Victorian aristocracy will send even more people to protect Eileen.
"Your Highness."
"Hmm, you just said you felt a deadly threat from that boy?"
"Yes, Your Highness, I have a gut feeling that if someone wants to harm him, something terrible is about to happen."
Upon hearing the female mage who was protecting her say this, Eileen's red lips parted slightly, and a look of surprise appeared on her face.
Eileen knew the strength of her bodyguard, who was able to stay by her side and protect her.
With her mastery of all four elements, she possessed a super-level cultivation that allowed her to escape with ease even when facing an invincible monarch-level demon, and her wind magic, which was close to being a semi-forbidden spell.
Moreover, her innate talent, "danger perception," helps her escape from dangerous situations time and again.
Even when facing ordinary forbidden spells, there was no indication that anything terrifying would happen.
The fact that she was facing a handsome and talented young man had made her female bodyguard nervous.
Fortunately, although his bodyguards were nervous, the other side did not harbor any ill intentions towards him.
To be honest, she's already looking forward to tomorrow's exchange match.
Because that boy named Su Lan was also one of the opponents in this exchange competition.
"Su Lan…"
...
"You mean, the person in the shadows on the other side noticed your presence?"
When Su Lan heard that there was someone lurking in Eileen's shadow, she subconsciously felt it was unbelievable.
However, the thought that there was also a commander-level alien girl in his shadow made him feel relieved.
Su Lan speculated that the person was probably a mage acting as a bodyguard, specifically to protect Eileen.
Thinking about it this way, it's not surprising.
"No, Master, the other party doesn't have the ability to detect my existence, especially since I'm still in the contract space."
"The other party must have realized that facing you directly, Master, would be very dangerous if they harbored ill intentions!"
