Luo Zhen and Stella welcomed guests for the first time in their dormitory.
Moreover, the guests were not only Ikki, but also Shushizuku who was accompanying him.
However, their expressions were completely different.
Ikki looked determined and serious, as if he had made a decision.
Zhu Shizuku's face was full of worry and helplessness, but she seemed unable to defeat Ikki and had no choice but to compromise.
The two of them appeared outside the door of Room 406 together. After Stella opened the door, they walked in together.
"I'm sorry to bother you at this hour."
Ikki first apologized to Luo Zhen and Stella.
but...
"I have something that I want to talk about now anyway, so I'm sorry, can you give me a moment?"
Yihui raised his head and stared at him. The person he looked at was Luo Zhen sitting on the sofa.
Obviously, Ikki mainly came to see Luo Zhen.
"What's going on? Zhu Shizuku?"
Stella lowered her voice and secretly asked Zhu Shizuku who came with her.
"You'll find out later."
Zhu Shizuku sighed and responded reluctantly.
Luo Zhen, on the other hand, seemed to see something from Ikki's eyes and expression, and was no longer surprised.
"Although I have probably guessed your purpose of coming, anyway, let me hear your thoughts first."
Luo Zhen shrugged and said so.
"Anyway, come in and sit down first."
Hearing this, Ikki nodded, and together with Zhu Shizuku, came to Luo Zhen and sat down side by side.
Stella sat down next to Luo Zhen, not even caring about the clothes in her hands, but threw them directly onto Luo Zhen's bed, seemingly caring about this matter.
Seeing a woman's clothes scattered on his bed, including some intimate clothes that had escaped, Luo Zhen was speechless for a while, and then he was the first to speak out, as if to divert others' attention and prevent others from seeing his bed. .
"Okay, if you have anything to do, tell me."
Luo Zhen's words made everyone focus on Ikki.
Under the gaze of everyone present, Ikki took a deep breath.
"I want to ask you something."
Ikki looked at Luo Zhen with an unprecedented serious look and made such a request.
"Please let Miss Attila and I continue to learn swordsmanship."
Ikki's voice reached everyone's ears very clearly.
"Wha...what?"
Stella was suddenly stunned.
"well... "
Zhu Shizuku sighed, seemingly already knowing that Ikki would make this decision.
"It's really as expected."
Luo Zhen was not surprised at all. As if he had already guessed Ikki's purpose, he met Ikki's gaze and looked at him as well.
The atmosphere at the scene suddenly became heavy.
no way.
"Since you have decided to do this, you should have been mentally prepared for it, right?"
Luo Zhen didn't say anything, just confirmed like this.
This is a must-confirmation.
after all...
"You have already seen Attila's guidance method. There will be no second way except fighting you directly."
Luo Zhen is outspoken.
"If you continue to accept Attila's guidance, it means that you need to continue to engage in actual combat with Attila like you did today. I don't need to explain how dangerous it is, right?"
There really is no need to explain.
Because everyone present had witnessed the battle between Attila and Ikki with their own eyes, and they knew very well how alarming the danger involved was.
At least, Attila will never be merciful, let alone a being who knows how to be merciful. If Ikki continues to fight Attila, then, like today, being almost hacked to death would be a better result. If you are not careful, it is not a strange thing to die on the spot.
No, it should be said that if he really continues to accept Attila's guidance, the probability of Ikki's death is the highest.
I believe that not only Ikki, but also everyone else is aware of this.
In this case...
"In that case, do you still decide to accept Atila's guidance?"
Luo Zhen confirmed Ikki's determination for this reason.
And Ikki...
"Yes, I have decided."
Ikki nodded without any hesitation, his expression full of persistence that he would never look back.
Looking at Ikki like this, everyone knew how difficult it was to make such a decision.
Even if Ikki has a dream, and even has the perseverance to put in all the effort for his dream and endure all the inequalities, that is two different things from risking his life for his dream.
No matter what, Ikki is different from Stella.
Stella is doing it for the people and country she loves, even if the cost is her own safety, she will not hesitate to become stronger.
However, Ikki wanted to become stronger in order to resist his own fate and become an excellent Magic Knight.
In other words, Ikki's dream can only be realized if his own survival is the prerequisite.
Once he dies, that Ikki will never be able to realize his dream and become the excellent magic knight in his mind.
In view of this, Ikki did not have the determination to risk his life for his dream in the past.
It's not that Ikki can't do it, it's just that he didn't think about it.
It was not until today that Ikki finally risked his own life for his dream.
"As I said, if I don't give it all and try my best, I won't be able to realize my dream."
Ikki spoke so decisively.
"So, I have decided that starting from today, I will accept Miss Atila's guidance until I have the power to realize my dream."
This is what Ikki decided after returning to the dormitory after much struggle and consideration.
"Otherwise, I might not even be able to defeat Kirihara-san. Even if I win by luck, the Kurogane family won't just give up. They will definitely try to hinder me and keep attacking me, making them even stronger and more powerful than Kirihara-san." , more distant opponents appeared in front of me one by one."
After what happened today, Ikki completely understood this.
In summary...
"I don't have time to be confused anymore, and I don't have time to hesitate anymore."
Ikki knelt down on the spot and lowered his head towards Luo Zhen, so that his forehead touched the floor.
"Please agree to my request, please."
After finishing speaking, Ikki said nothing and maintained his posture of lowering his head in supplication, motionless.
I'm afraid, as long as Luo Zhen doesn't agree, Ikki will always maintain this posture and never get up again, right
Everyone saw this determination from Ikki.
"... Is this okay? Shu Shizuku?"
Stella was silent for a while, then looked at Zhu Shizuku and asked hesitantly.
Presumably, when Ikki makes such a decision, the one who opposes and worries the most is Shu Shizuku, right
only...
"... Even if it's not good, so what?"
It was rare that Zhu Shizuku didn't have any thorns in her words, she just spoke out as if she was giving up.
"If I could have stopped it, I would have stopped it long ago. Precisely because I couldn't stop it, I had no choice but to do anything."
Zhu Shizuku's voice was full of sighs.
In this situation...
"Let's ask the person involved."
Luo Zhen said this as if he was staying out of the incident.
Soon...
"Have you decided yet?"
Along with the faint words, the white girl appeared here like mist.
