You can clear the game with just one life by relying on a useless person!

Chapter 33 Royal Colleges and Circuit Courts

While You Che was still lost in thought, Xiao Yang finally realized what the sound was, and her face immediately turned red.

"Sir, should we... wait a moment?"

After all, the people inside didn't seem to be unwilling at all, and it seemed like... they didn't need any help?

Distracted by him, You Che regained his composure and snapped out of his reverie.

...Don't rush. We don't know what the original world is like yet. Maybe by the time he has driven out all the dark races and opened the gate to the world to go home, only a minute will have passed there?

In short, now is not the time to worry about those things.

He then looked at Xiao Yang and said, "You stay here and watch over things. I'll go check if there are any other bandits."

Xiao Yang: "?"

"I...I don't like watching..."

"Who told you to look at that?" You Che almost lost his composure, and whispered, "I told you to keep an eye on them and see if they come out! If they do, just fire a fireball at them!"

"Oh... okay, I understand." Xiao Yang scratched his head awkwardly.

Without saying much, You Che quickly searched the entire cave except for the deepest room and found a few survivors, which he then dealt with one by one.

When he returned to the entrance at the back, Xiao Yang told him that the people inside had quieted down and hadn't come out.

You Che immediately drew his knife: "I'm lucky today, I can clear out this hideout without a fight."

As mentioned before, he did not want to fight with the bandit leader, as that would be bad for his mental health.

Before Xiao Yang could react, You Che had already slipped inside. A muffled groan and sounds of struggle came from deep within the room. After the noise subsided, a woman's scream rang out.

"Help! Someone, come here!"

Xiao Yang was startled and rushed in. He then saw a burly man lying on the ground with his eyes wide open, his naked upper body covered in blood.

You Che stood to the side, holding two daggers, slightly out of breath.

On the bed next to her, a naked woman sat there, hugging herself and screaming.

"...This guy was a bit more alert than I expected; it took a little more effort."

Upon seeing Xiao Yang enter, You Che offered an explanation.

Just now, when he sneaked into the room intending to assassinate the bandit leader, he was surprised to find that the bandit leader was actually at the LV15 level, which made him stop his dagger that was about to be thrust down.

Previously, when finishing off bandits, he used the Green Rust Short Sword because the Blood Explosion effect of the Hound's Claws was neither too loud nor too quiet, and could potentially reveal his location. However, the Green Rust Short Sword was sufficient to deal with the level 6 minions.

However, since the bandit leader was already above LV10 and had a profession, Yu Che decided to switch to the Hound Claws to avoid dying in one hit.

Unexpectedly, the slight sound of drawing a sword was enough to wake the bandit leader who had just finished and fallen asleep.

He suddenly opened his eyes and was about to resist, but fortunately You Che reacted quickly and, before he could get up, the hound's claws stabbed him in the chest and successfully sent the bandit leader away through the blood explosion effect.

One advantage of dealing with human enemies is that, as long as the opponent does not possess special powers, a heavy blow to their vital organs such as the heart and brain can deliver a fatal blow.

However, the commotion also woke up the woman next to her. She opened her eyes and saw You Che holding a knife, and then she screamed instinctively—fortunately, the other bandits had already been dealt with by You Che.

"Stop yelling, no one will come to help you even if you yell until you're hoarse."

You Che looked at the woman and casually uttered a villain's line: "I've already taken care of all the other bandits. You're the last one."

The woman was terrified and quickly said, "Wait! I'm not with them, I'm innocent!"

You Che remained expressionless, but the woman reacted quickly, immediately looking at Xiao Yang: "Brother, please help me, persuade him! I'm really not a bandit!"

In her excitement, the blanket that had been barely covering her body slipped down, revealing her shapely and powerful figure.

Xiao Yang's face immediately turned red again, and he turned his head away embarrassedly. The woman, on the other hand, seemed to have seen a savior and moved a few more steps toward him.

"Please, I'll do anything!"

You Che watched quietly from the sidelines.

To him, everything was obvious; the woman was undoubtedly a bandit.

However, she was only at level 6, the same level as You Che, so You Che wasn't worried at all about what trouble she could cause.

He was somewhat curious whether this naive little guy, Xiao Yang, would be easily swayed by her charms and lose his bearings.

The woman slowly approached Xiao Yang, a glimmer of hope in her eyes. However, when she moved in front of him and reached out to take his hand, Xiao Yang suddenly took a step back.

The woman was stunned.

"Um... excuse me, although I'd be happy to help a lady, you're a bandit, aren't you?"

Xiao Yang still didn't look at her, but his thoughts were very clear: "This large tattoo on your arm is the symbol of this bandit group, and when you woke up just now, your first reaction was to call for help."

"If you were forcibly abducted, then I can't understand why you would do that... so it's obvious that you're a bandit."

Fear flashed across the woman's face. She had thought she could use this young man, but she hadn't expected that he had already seen through her clumsy acting.

"I……"

She tried to struggle in her death throes, but a jade-green dagger had already pierced her heart from behind.

"puff."

You Che drew his rusty green dagger, ignoring the fallen woman, and gave Xiao Yang an approving look: "Not bad."

Xiao Yang simply nodded slightly, then pulled a blanket from the bed next to him and covered the woman's naked body.

You Che watched him finish doing these things without commenting, only saying, "Alright, now let's search this hideout. Didn't you say you were looking for something?"

"Yes, sir."

Xiao Yang then began searching the room, and after finding nothing, he went to the adjacent warehouse.

You Che simply rummaged through the cabinets in the room, searched for supplies, and then picked up a few pieces of parchment that Xiao Yang hadn't paid attention to.

He quickly scanned the area, then his gaze sharpened and his expression changed drastically.

"...Oh? There's a maze nearby?"

While he was carefully reading the documents, Xiao Yang, who had also quickly searched the adjacent warehouse, turned back, this time with a very unpleasant expression:

"Sir, there's a problem! I can't find the potion they stole anywhere! Did they sell it? Or did they use it?"

You Che glanced at him and handed him a piece of paper: "It's normal that we didn't find it, because these guys didn't even steal the things you mentioned."

Xiao Yang froze, took the letter, quickly read it, and then his hands trembled with anger: "The town mayor...colluded with bandits and embezzled from his post?! How dare he do such a thing!"

You Che was not surprised at all; in fact, he had already guessed it just from Xiao Yang's description:

"What's there to be afraid of? This kind of small town is located in a remote area, has no strategic value, and has no famous local products. It has never been valued. It's perfectly normal for the town mayor to do this kind of thing in order to make money."

Xiao Yang was furious: "Aren't those townspeople also the lord's property? Does he just watch them die?"

"That would require the town mayor to have that awareness; not all minor lords are as well-mannered as the lords of border towns."

You Che looked at Xiao Yang: "Isn't the goal of the Ovina Royal Academy precisely to cultivate such true elites?"

Hearing You Che's words, Xiao Yang took a deep breath and calmed down: "You're right... Thanks to your reminder, I know what to do."

He carefully put the letter away: "I'll go back and contact my classmates at the academy and have them inform the senior students and mentors of the circuit court intern team."

"It's spring break right now, which coincides with the spring grand tour. That bastard will definitely pay the price!"

You Che nodded with a smile.

Xiao Yang attends the Royal Academy of Ovina, the kingdom's highest institution of learning, located atop a mountain in the kingdom's capital, overlooking the entire city.

The academy's goal is to cultivate truly capable future elites for the kingdom, and it holds a pivotal position within the kingdom.

In the game, the Royal Academy is a rather long side chapter, connected to several complex side quests. It not only involves content related to academy life, but is also inextricably linked to the power struggles among the noble forces behind the kingdom.

As for the Circuit Court Apprenticeship, it is a special organization within the academy, jointly established by the Royal Academy and the Royal Court.

Every spring and autumn, the college selects senior students to form a practicum group to accompany the Kingdom's Circuit Court to various places to hear cases.

They were the ones Xiao Yang wanted to contact.

This is clearly a wise decision.

You Che knew he no longer needed to give Xiao Yang any pointers in this regard, and at the same time, he had pretty much concluded his observations of the young man.

So he said, "You may be a bit reckless, but you have good manners. I think highly of you."

"I would like to ask you for a small favor. Could you please deliver a letter to someone for me when you return to the capital?"

"In addition, I have a little advice for you regarding your future personal development."

"Of course, I must make it clear first that these suggestions may differ from or even conflict with what you learned in college, and it is entirely up to you whether or not to adopt them."

Xiao Yang was taken aback, but You Che had already handed over two pieces of parchment that were clearly made from what was available.

One was a sealed letter, and the other was displayed openly in front of Xiao Yang.

Xiao Yang took the two parchments, first carefully putting away the folded letter, and then looking at the second one, on which were newly written rows of text—You Che's "suggestions."

Xiao Yang only glanced at it briefly before he was stunned: "This...this line of thinking, I..."

But You Che had nothing more to say, including the fact that he had already finished looting the supplies. So, he took the parchment he needed, turned around and walked away without pausing.

Xiao Yang snapped out of his daze and shouted at You Che's retreating figure:

"Sir! At least tell me your name!"

You Che glanced back at him, gave him a slightly strange smile, and did not refuse, showing his public information.

【游彻】

[Level: 6]

[HP: 120/120]

Upon seeing this completely unexpected panel, Xiao Yang froze on the spot.

You Che, on the other hand, walked out of the cave laughing.

"—Work hard, young man."
