Chapter 199: Chapter 174 Sword Maiden’s Interlude – Part 2
“Hey, congratulations,” Sonia said with a bit of gloom. “I haven’t recovered yet…”
Sonia didn’t hide the fact that she had died in the Void Realm. Instead, she spread the news widely through Professor Trozan, letting the whole school know that the genius ‘Red-haired Sword Maiden’ had finally succumbed in the Void Realm.
After so strategic managent, her classmates started seeing Sonia in a more positive light, and even the ‘jealous of talent’ Professor Trozan took extra care of her. Even when Sonia went to the cafeteria, the auntie would give her an extra couple of scoops.
Failing hadn’t tarnished Sonia’s talent; rather, it made her more approachable and likable.
Just like the ‘poor beautiful college student,’ the ‘genius who sotis fails’ was also a useful label. Sonia decided to take this rare opportunity to deepen her persona, so she wouldn’t have to bear everyone’s expectations but could still access the resources ant for a genius. She was winning big ti.
“It looks like I’ll have to go back to the dorm to sleep tomorrow night…”
Most people choose to sleep, right? Who else, like you, gets so excited in the middle of the night and insists on picking fights? It’s just a maniac Village Girl… Felix thought to himself, scoffing, “Make sure you tell Celia not to wait downstairs to run into for so long.”
“Huh?”
Sonia opened her big innocent eyes, looking puzzled: “Celia? Are you talking about Senior Celia? What about her?”
“Acting as if you don’t know,” Felix said disdainfully. “I won’t be going to the ditation Building tomorrow night, but I’ll be entering the Void Realm at ho instead. Just tell her to stop bothering .”
“I really don’t know what you’re talking about—”
“Sonia, think of others for once,” Felix sighed. “You know it’s dangerous to get close to . Why don’t you advise Celia to stay away from ?”
The Village Girl retorted, “Do you hate her?”
“Is the opposite of hate, like? Sonia, I hate this tricky way you speak—”
“So answer directly, do you like Celia?”
“…I like her, but not in the way you’re thinking.”
“Feelings can be fostered over ti, don’t you believe in love at first sight?”
“Why do you care so much?” Felix was getting impatient. “What has she offered you? Whatever she can give, I can give too.”
Sonia replied instantly, “She promised to get the lead role in the Shadow Actress of Moon Nine!”
Felix exploded, “Bullshit! Celia doesn’t have that kind of power!”
Moon Nine specifically refers to 9:00 PM on Saturdays, which is pri ti for dramas. Only the season’s highest quality and best-funded dramas get that slot. It almost guarantees the success of the show even before it airs.
Becoming the female lead in a Moon Nine drama ant stepping halfway into the realm of top-tier female Shadow Actresses!
You, a re Village Girl, have no right to be the lead in a hit drama!
The two of them stared at each other for a mont before Sonia turned her head away, covering her mouth to hide her amusent, while Felix helplessly laughed and sighed at the sa ti.
Why did such a shaless Village Girl possess swordsmanship talent like she was favored by the stars, and why did he have to be friends with such a shaless Village Girl…
“It’s not just for the paynt, actually,” Sonia said as she tucked her hair behind her ear and held her wooden sword in front of her, looking at the patterns on the Sword Body. “I heard from Senior Celia, isn’t it true that many noble marriages are emotionless arranged marriages?”
“Indeed,” Felix nodded, “noble marriages are essentially exchanges of interests.”
“Since those who don’t like each other can be together, then why can’t those who do like each other?” Sonia said softly.
Felix blinked, sowhat surprised, as he looked at the red-haired girl.
She suddenly had a flash of inspiration and asked, “Do you have soone you like?”
“You—”
Sonia instinctively wanted to deny it, but suddenly rembering sothing, she looked around and whispered, “What nonsense are you talking about?”
“You weren’t this sentintal before,” Felix raised his eyebrows. “Don’t forget, though it’s nothing to brag about, I’ve had quite a few romances. If there were a faction for love, I’d at least be at the Golden Level. Looking at you, could it be your first love? Who’s the unlucky—or should I say, lucky, person to catch the eye of the red-haired Sword Maiden?”
“You were about to insult just now, weren’t you!” Sonia gritted her teeth and said, “And I haven’t… think whatever you want!”
“If you really did not have soone, your response should have been ‘then guess who I like,’ not this weak ‘think whatever you want,'” Felix laughed. “Always hanging out with you common Female Mages, I can keep up with your thought processes, but you, Sonia, seem a bit flustered yourself.”
Watching Sonia, who was both embarrassed and angry, Felix was also filled with questions—He knew every person in this village girl’s social circle, and there were almost no males, so who could she possibly like?
Arsen who she co-hosted with? But it’s said that Arsen would run away whenever he saw Sonia on campus…
Lauren, the senior? Unlikely…
? Not to bring up how she beat up, but she also helped Celia ambush . And as a bona fide Golden Level lover, highly sensitive, it’s impossible for not to sense if soone likes …
Felix thought again and again, suddenly recalling a piece of information: On the night of the hosting, Sonia seed to have made up with her roommate Lois, and since then, the two beca increasingly close. The day before yesterday, Sonia had drinks with senior Reonie, and after getting drunk, it was Lois who helped her change clothes and bathe…
Could it be…
Just as Sonia had managed to calm her emotions, she turned her head and saw Felix a few ters away, puzzled, she asked, “Why are you standing so far away?”
“Nothing,” Felix stood up and said, “My left hand is almost healed, I’m thinking of heading ho for a bath and so treatnt. I had a pleasant evening with you, but let’s never et again, goodbye—”
“Since it’s the last night,” Sonia also stood up, “then drive back to the dorm… you don’t want to?”
“Does the opposite of not wanting an wanting? Sonia, I hate this kind of trap-laden way you speak—”
“Since we’re training Water Therapy Technique Spirits, maybe add a few more injuries—”
“I still have to drive, I can’t afford injuries to my hands and feet,” Felix surrendered.
The two left the empty training hall and stepped onto the campus avenue, under the watchful eyes of the Star Cluster.
Sonia suddenly rembered sothing, exclaid, “Ah, I almost forgot, I’ve wanted to ask you sothing for a long ti. After all, Felix, you are a noble young master and might know so secrets unknown to the poor.”
“What is it?”
“Do you know… the Four Pillars God Sect?”
Felix blinked, subconsciously raised his left hand, but then lowered it again.
