Chapter 23: Viewer? Sword Princess?

Views:

"I'm so tired, Ingrid, do you want to take a shower first or should I?"

The voice came before the person arrived. Lois, who was reading in the dormitory, suddenly turned pale.

The dormitory door was pushed open, and two girls carrying sword bags came in, with traces of sweat on the hair on their faces. They rushed in giggling, like a spring breeze that filled the dormitory with vitality and exuded the fresh scent of sprouts in the soil.

"I'll take a shower first." Ingulit sat down and said, "I still have to wash clothes later, and your legs are weak, sit for a while to recover your strength."

"That's right," Sonia stretched out and laid on the table like a slime. "Oh, I'm regretting switching to the swordsmanship department now. It's so tiring. Not only do I have to attend classes, but Professor Trozan also forced me to take two hours of advanced classes, and even have a swordsmanship sparring session with Trozan... In the evening, I have to continue swordsmanship training to master the wave swordsmanship spirit. I feel like my entire day is packed full."

"Isn't that great?" Ingrid said enviously, "Professor Trozan is a three-wing swordsman. Last year, he was selected as one of the 'Top Ten Outstanding Sword Masters of the Stars' and is known as the 'Hidden Hand Sword Master'. It is said that he may be able to become a four-wing legend... Then, Sonia, you will be the apprentice of a legendary swordsman!"

Lois unconsciously crumpled the book in her hands.

Sonia waved her hand: "Professor Trozan hasn't said he wants to take me in as an apprentice yet, he just thinks I have talent..."

Ingrid sighed and said, "I actually wanted to be Professor Trozan's apprentice from the beginning, but the professor never publicly accepted apprentices. Sonia, you are the only special case he has made in all these years!"

"Then I will recommend you to Professor Trozan tomorrow. Although there is no guarantee, I should be able to get the professor to give you an interview opportunity—"

"No need. The professor is obviously aiming to train geniuses. I'm just an ordinary person. Not only will he not accept me, but he will only hate me." Ingrid said as she looked for clothes, "Besides, I'm about to enter the second ring. In a few months, I'll be able to summon magic spirits, and the resources of the sword department will be open to me... Maybe by then I'll catch up with you!"

"I won't wait for you." Sonia said with a grin, "Luckily you're here, Ingrid, otherwise I wouldn't know how to refuse Felix's invitation."

Ingulit asked curiously, "I heard that he wants to compete with you again. Don't you want to compete with him again?"

"No!" Sonia said firmly, "He doesn't want to spar with me at all, he just wants to get closer to me."

"Isn't it good to get closer to Felix?"

"Not to mention that he's a playboy, and it's obvious to the naked eye. I'm sure I'll be better than him in swordsmanship in the future. I don't like a man who can't beat me in his strongest area."

"Kenhua University is still too small. I will definitely go to Aletheia University in the future. As for love, I will talk about it after I have achieved some success in swordsmanship."

Lois's nails were nearly poking through the pages of the book.

Adele, who had been watching the light screen program, asked half-pretentiously and half-doubtfully, "Sonia, are you going to transfer to Aletheia University?"

"No, but Professor Trozan can help me sign up for the fencing competition at Aletheia University, and he can also let me use the equipment at Aletheia University. I may have to run between Aletheia University and the sword school in the future." Sonia sighed, "The more I think about it, the more tired I feel."

Adele exclaimed, "Sonia, won't you be able to meet top students from Aletheia University in the future? If you meet a handsome guy, remember to introduce him to her!"

"No~problem~" Sonia said in a long voice, "How could I forget my roommate when something good happened? We have been good roommates who have spent a happy year together, Lois, right?"

Lois was so angry that her mouth twisted. It took a lot of effort for her to force a smile: "Of course, I'm just worried that Sword Saint Sonia will not recognize us as roommates."

"How is that possible? I'm just a little country girl. Miss Lois will have to take care of me in the future." Sonia said sarcastically, "Ah, Miss is reading a water technique textbook? I'm so envious. I also want to continue learning water techniques. It's easy and decent, unlike the sword technique department, which is too tiring~"

Ingridt also reacted at this time. Although Sonia was chatting with her, her words were directed at Lois.

She didn't bother to care about their grievances and went straight into the bathroom to take a shower.

Sonia was prepared for Lois to get mad, but Lois said nothing, as if she was just lying there ready to be laughed at.

The essence of the yin-yang trick is a PVP interaction. Now the other party is just crouching to defend, and Sonia feels bored. She puts on her backpack and shouts, "Forget it, I'll come back tomorrow morning and take a shower. Now I have to go to the meditation room to prepare for my first virtual journey. Everyone, I wish you a pleasant night."

Ingrid was taking a shower. Lois didn't say anything. Only Adele responded with, "Goodbye, Sonia."

... .

...

As the footsteps faded away, the only sound left in the dormitory was the sound of water in the bathroom.

Adele looked at Lois who was silent, thought for a moment and walked over to start a conversation: "Humph, that country girl Sonia is really a mean person who has achieved success. She is just talented in swordsmanship, what's so great about it. Lois, you don't have to take it to heart. She is so arrogant that she will hit a wall sooner or later... Hmm?"

Adele looked over and found that Lois was really reading a book and even took out a workbook to do exercises.

"I lost this time." Lois said, "Sonia, that country girl, has now climbed to a height that I need to look up to. If things continue like this, when we meet again a few years after graduation, I will definitely have to bow down to her."

As if she had imagined how humble she would be in the future, Lois's mouth twitched slightly: "I can't accept it... I don't believe that I can't even compare to that country girl!"

Adele didn't disturb her and returned to her seat to continue watching the show.

Although the show was still interesting, Adele couldn't calm down.

She turned her head and looked at Lois again, and found that Lois was not a flash in the pan, and was still studying attentively. She thought about it, turned off the light curtain, and took out the book to study.

When Ingulit came out of the shower, she was a little surprised to see two people studying hard in the dormitory.

But she didn't say anything and quietly went to the sink on the balcony to wash clothes.

... ...

...

After the guard checked the student information in the bracelet, Sonia entered a fully enclosed special building.

As soon as she stepped over the threshold, Sonia felt as if she had crossed an invisible boundary line. Her thinking speed suddenly increased a lot, and the wave sword spirit even jumped out from her shoulder, looking very excited.

"So, after I enter the virtual realm, will you still be by my side?" Sonia asked.

"This is actually overtime work." The spectator walking side by side with her said leisurely, "It's beyond the scope of my service."

"So you mean you don't want to..."

"So, there has to be overtime pay!" The viewer rubbed his fingers and said, "You have to buy a drink when you go to a bar and find someone to chat with? You have to express your gratitude when you find someone to chat and travel with you in the virtual world, right? "

“I’m super poor!”

"Besides money, you have a lot of surplus value that you can sell."

Sonia raised her eyebrows slightly and used her fingers to hook up her tight shirt, revealing her deep cleavage: "The most valuable thing about me is myself..."

"That's what I've been waiting for! You will be my employee in the future." The spectator snapped his fingers. "But after all, you haven't graduated yet, so you are still in the probation period. But it is a probation period after all, so there is no labor contract. As for the salary during the probation period, the energy potion you drank and the wooden sword you used before have already paid for it, so..."

"So you want me to work for you for free?"

"Tsk, what you're saying is, I provide you with various opportunities to grow, and you do some work to give back to me during your growth. Isn't this a good production relationship where employers and employees make progress together?"

Sonia did not reject this unfair and overbearing contract, but asked, "You spent so much time and effort, testing me in dreams, arranging training for me, and inspiring my swordsmanship talent, just to make me work for you? Then what is my job content?"

“Alive.”

"Alive?"

“Being alive is the rarest thing in the world.” The viewer seems to be laughing: “Most people just exist.”

"I still can't understand it." Sonia said, "I believe that every gift has its price. You have spent so much to train me, and you must want to gain more from me. Unless you are my spiritual phantom, I can't think of a reason for you to be so selfless."

"I'm not being selfless. On the contrary, there's no one more selfish than me in this world." The viewer laughed and said, "I'm asking you to live according to my wishes. Is there anything more selfish than this?"

"but… "

"Haha, I was just joking. How could I be such a good person who cares so much about you?" The viewer laughed and said, "I have something serious to ask of you. For some reason, I have become very weak now. I can't even explore the virtual world alone, so I need you to protect me."

As she spoke, Sonia had already walked to room number 311. She opened the door with her bracelet, and inside was a narrow, empty meditation room with only an orange carpet filling the floor, and the lights from the ceiling illuminated every corner.

This is the meditation room of Jianhua University, and it is also the best quiet place for Sonia to find to enter the virtual world.

She closed the door and sat cross-legged on the carpet, letting the wave sword spirit float on her palm. She poured all her mind into the spirit, searching for the door to truth hidden in knowledge, attempting to embark on the first virtual journey in her life.

Although Sonia successfully summoned her first magic spirit, she could not yet be considered a one-winged magician because she had not condensed her own 'Silver Wings'.

Without magical power and the ability to condense a phantom, one naturally cannot fully activate the magical spirit and cannot be considered a magician at all.

If you want to condense the silver wings, you must enter the virtual realm, swim in the sea of knowledge, use your soul to attract knowledge, extract magical power from knowledge, condense the magical power into virtual wings, use the virtual wings to pry the power of the laws, and thus become a magician!

The only way for ordinary people to enter the virtual world is to find the door of truth in their own spiritual body. By letting their soul pass through the door of truth, they can directly reach the virtual world constructed by laws and knowledge - the virtual world!

It is said that the virtual world is dozens, hundreds, or even tens of thousands times larger than the real world.

Countless magicians have never met other people in the virtual world in their entire lives, so all magicians can only rely on themselves to explore the virtual world.

The Meditation Building is a quiet room specially designed for magicians to explore the virtual world. In addition to being quiet and undisturbed, Jianhua University also performs the miracle of Starlight Chasing Shadows, which not only speeds up the thinking speed of students in the Meditation Building and makes it easier to find the door to truth, but also draws in countless beams of starlight sent down by the Star Lord, making the students' souls emit the fragrance that knowledge likes, allowing them to condense silver wings faster!

Soon, Sonia found the door of truth within the wave sword spirit.

After all, it was her first time in her life, and Sonia couldn't help but feel nervous as if she was going to check into a hotel, and asked in her mind, "Viewer?"

"I am here. Don't worry, there is a bond between you and me. A sacred destiny connects you and me."

Sonia's mind suddenly calmed down, her consciousness touched the door of truth, and her vision was suddenly submerged in darkness.

When she woke up, she found herself lying in a boat, floating on the lead-gray sea.

In front of me is a sky as thick as ink, and all around is hazy fog.

She was lying at the stern and saw a familiar person lying at the bow.

Sonia: "Viewer?"

Ash: "Sword Princess?"

The two looked at each other and breathed a sigh of relief.
