Chapter 35: Awakening and Change

When Xiu woke up, it was already three poles of the sun.

The sun shines on Xiu's face through the windowsill, and the warm light shines on his face. The warm light was like a gentle hand, quietly caressing Xiu's face. A light breeze blew into the room, and the hair in front of the forehead swayed thinly and itched.

Let's get some more sleep, right?

He rolled over and tried to continue sleeping in the sun.

Wrong!

Xiu suddenly opened his eyes. In your own room, the sun can't shine in!

Maybe the eyes were opened too violently, and they couldn't adjust to the light for a while, so they closed again. For a while, his head hurt violently, and he couldn't help but make a sound.

He thought about what was going on.

Yesterday I was training, it seems that I overtrained, and I was taken away by Susanna... No, I haven't finished training yet, I'm still a little close!

But Instructor Suzanne didn't let me finish... No, it's that I can't hold on anymore, I don't have a weight in the last 50 meters, it doesn't count.

Then let's do it next time. I can always get it done! His eyes were already adjusting to the light, so he opened his eyes and sat up. Maybe it's because he just got used to the light, or maybe it's because he just got up, Xiu can't see it clearly, and he doesn't care.

Well? Xiu felt that something was not right.

I was so tired from training yesterday, why didn't I have any pain in my body today? He moved his arm, and it didn't feel much soreness, and when he stretched his arm, he didn't feel like his muscles were going to tear.

It's like never doing sports.

Forget it, don't care if you don't understand it, think yesterday's training wasn't enough... Where is this?

He blinked, and found himself on a bed full of pink and white.

Pink sheets, white quilts and pillows, and a large plush bear doll are looking innocently at the pillow with their eyes open.

His knight's uniform had been taken off and was being hung on the wall to the side, and he was now wearing a pair of trousers. He tightened the quilt.

He looked up at the strange, yet warm room.

The room is not big, but it is well decorated. The rough stone walls are carefully plastered with lime and plastered very smoothly. Pink bells and beads are strung with strings on the ceiling, and whenever someone blows or the wind blows, the crisp little bells echo in this small room. There are two rows of hangers on the walls on the left and right, one row is Valkyrie light armor, and the other row... It is a women's costume for noble women's dresses, casual clothes, equestrian clothes, gloves, boots, hats, etc.

This is supposed to be a Valkyrie's dormitory.

And it should still be an instructor. Look, how well the instructor slept on the table ...

Wait, someone's there?

Xiu's vision was a little blurry, but he saw a fiery red.

It seems a little familiar.

He rubbed his eyes and rubbed many small pieces in the corners of his eyes...

Looks like it's time for me to wash my face. Xiu thought a little embarrassed.

He looked at the instructor again, and this time he saw clearly.

Her long hair was as red as silk and fell over her back like a thin quilt. Except for Instructor Susanna, Xiu couldn't imagine that no one's hair could be so red and so beautiful.

Suzanne sat on a wooden chair and lay down on the table and fell asleep soundly.

The instructors have a good schedule, and they always wake up early.

And now it's not early and I'm still sleeping, it seems...

She should have been by Xiu's side all night.

Xiu imagined that Suzanne carried her unconscious self into the dormitory, took off her sweaty clothes, wiped herself, and stayed by her side all night without sleeping until the early hours of the morning or directly in the morning...

Xiu felt his nose sour. Why does Suzanne take such good care of herself? Is it just because you're from Caslana's family? If she wasn't, would Suzanne still take care of herself that much?

Xiu shook his head and didn't want to mess around.

He quietly removed the uniform that hung on the wall. When he touched his clothes, he found that they were still a little wet, and there was no smell of sweat.

Has Instructor Suzanne washed?

Xiu's heart felt a burst of warmth.

He stood on tiptoe and quietly put the quilt on the bed over Susanna's body—or it wouldn't be tall enough.

Then he left the dormitory with his lightest steps.

He fled from the instructor's dormitory, and the guards guarding the instructor's dormitory looked at Xiu with strange eyes, but they just looked at Xiu with their eyes and did not turn their heads. They are still guarding their posts.

Xiu ran all the way. It's as if such a large amount of training didn't happen yesterday, like a galloping pony, galloping all the way down the small road between the dormitories, full of energy, full of vitality, and full of physical strength, as if it had been cultivating well for a few days. Even Xiu himself felt incredible.

Was yesterday's training really so effective, so immediate? Xiu was a little confused, but then he left it behind.

Anyway, it's good for yourself, what do you want to do so much.

He continued to run towards the dormitory.

The first thing he did when he returned to the dormitory was to change his clothes, hang them on the wall carefully, and then take out another dry one and put it on.

He looked at the timetable he had drawn, and this morning's lesson was Aguila-sensei's history, and in the afternoon, Mr. Shalena's Honkai Foundation. He packed up his outfit and prepared to go to class, when Otto woke up.

"Ah, Xiu is skipping class too." Otto's voice was playful.

"Instructor Suzanne helped me take a leave of absence, and I'm planning to go now. What about you? Are you still planning to skip class today? ”

"I don't go except for lectures on Honkai." Otto said naturally, as if he were talking about something very commonplace.

"I don't know why the instructor doesn't care about you."

"You don't have to worry about this, you just need to know, it's okay if I don't go, if you don't go, you'll die... Oh, forgot, you took a leave of absence. That's a good way to do it. Otto said jokingly, "I've heard about you yesterday." It's amazing that you can make such a big movement in one step. ”

"Otto, are you laughing at me?" Xiu looked at Otto dissatisfied.

"No, no, no, I'm complimenting you." The corners of Otto's mouth rose to explain, "Do you know, after you made that trouble yesterday, everyone present ran thirty laps with the instructor... The result was unexpected, they all ran down. I'm tired like a dog, but the fire in my eyes... Tsk tsk. He praised him, but his tone was like a mockery, "You've given them a good start." Their current goal is not to be surpassed by you. ”

"Why does your tone look like mockery?" Xiu looked into Otto's eyes.

"Ridicule? No, that's something to encourage, isn't it?" Otto shrugged indifferently.

"Don't talk about them, did you eat breakfast? If not, how about coming with me? ”

Xiu wanted to refuse, but thought that Suzanne should not have eaten breakfast either, so he agreed.
