A second before the earthquake ended, Ryu woke up from her dream.

It wasn't that she felt the slight tremor, but that she was back to her best.

Unprecedented, indescribable state.

A source of power greater than ever, surging through this slender and feminine body.

Maybe it was the battle the night before that that made her surpass her limits again and again, maybe it was the special compatibility between the elf's secret elixir and her physique, or maybe the shadow essence that Chu Ge injected with all her strength had an unexpected effect......

In short, after waking up, Ryu didn't feel any pain, but felt slightly uncomfortable because of the powerful power in his body.

In the early days of transcendence, she was promoted.

Hard work, talent, deathmatch, assistance, luck, and a new faith...... After these many coincidences and inevitability collided together, the step that stumped countless talents was crossed by her.

Not only the body, but also the soul has undergone a fundamental change.

Wash away the lead and be reborn.

Ryu stared silently at the gloomy ceiling, and although she had confirmed it repeatedly, she still had some emotion about the situation at the moment, and suspected that she was still in a dream.

After all, the experience of the past two days has been too twists and turns, even she can't tell the difference.

She turned her head slightly, and when she saw the back of Chu Ge's head, her calm face couldn't help but be a little rosy.

Lying in the same bed as a human boy who had just met him, this kind of thing would not have been dreamed of in the past.

"Are you awake......?"

After noticing Liu's slightly changing breathing, Chu Ge came back to his senses from his thoughts, but just as he was about to say something, Liu's movements suddenly interrupted his words.

The elf's body leaned in, the scent wafting behind his neck, and the white hands pressed against his back through his clothes

"Thank you."

This was the first time that Ryu had expressed his gratitude to Chu Ge.

As she spoke, she rested her forehead on the back of her hand, as if she wanted to hold on to this dream-like reality through this position.

Chu Ge showed a faint smile, but he didn't respond to anything, just enjoying the atmosphere in silence.

After a while, when it was almost dawn outside, Chu Ge stretched his waist and sat up from the bed, handed the dried clothes to Liu, and then turned around and asked:

"Your injuries have completely recovered, and your strength has broken through, what are your plans next? Do you want to go back to the mission? ”

When Ryu was asleep, he found that the other party's aura was undergoing a qualitative change, and he was aware of all the changes when he broke through.

Ryu took over his suit, quickly put it on, and replied:

"As soon as I had committed my previous mistakes, I returned to the legation with my injuries and asked them to adjudicate my crimes."

"Although the leader of the team advocated handing me over directly to the guards of the royal capital, most of my companions were desperately pleading for me......"

"In order not to implicate Bellan, the team leader finally decided to remove me from the woodland kingdom and kicked me out of the legation."

"I left the camp in despair, and the curse of the dead and the uneasiness in my heart made me wander around like mad and fell in the torrential rain...... And then I met you. ”

Ryu gently put on the cloak, and said with a little expectation in the loneliness:

"Now, I should have nowhere to go."

"That's ......"

Chu Ge touched his chin, he didn't have anything to do in the past few days that he had to help him, since that was the case......

I remember that in the past, Ryu and Chloe were very happy, otherwise it would be easier to find her there this time. ’

Speaking of which, the proprietress of Mia is also a magical fellow, as long as she is used to seeing it, even if she is a murderer, she dares to take it in casually. ’

Thinking of that tavern in the city, Chu Ge couldn't help but show a smile on his face, and he said to Liu:

"I have a nice spot right now, but I need you to put on some makeup......"

******

The dazzling sunlight accompanied by the fresh air rushed on Chu Ge's body.

"What about Sister Xia Lei? Doesn't she have a job today? Chu Ge Chaoyou asked.

Yu shook his head and replied:

"Yes, but it only started in the afternoon, she stayed up late last night, and it seems that she fell asleep very late, and she is still making up for sleep."

"It's such a bad habit, it seems that there are only two of us going today, and I don't know what life in the academy is like."

"Today should only be a speech by the freshman representative and an explanation of various matters, and it is estimated that the specific lecture will not officially start until at least the day after tomorrow."

Youwei Chu Ge explained in detail,

"And the freshmen with outstanding entrance test scores seem to have some extra rewards or something, which seems to be related to the big labyrinth called Olalie."

Chu Ge raised his eyebrows and said:

"It's just the beginning of the school year, are you going to do a big job? But if you just go to that kind of place, you shouldn't be able to talk about any reward, could it be that the academy has found some special secret realm in the labyrinth? ”

"Regarding the reward, Sister Xia Lei just casually mentioned a word or two to me, so I don't know the specific situation, but that reward will only be issued to second-order freshmen, after all, it is still a little reluctant to enter the big maze with the strength of the first order."

You paused, and then looked at Chu Gedao,

"Fortunately, you broke through to the second order last night, otherwise I might be the only one this time."

You was not the slightest surprise at Chu Ge's advancement, but there was a sense of reasonableness.

Chu Ge scratched his head and said with some distress:

"My entrance grades should be calculated according to the level of the first order, I don't know if you can take me with me in this situation."

"There is no reason for your concern, now that your name must have been known by the entire academy, there must be many people who want to see your talent with their own eyes, even if you don't want to go, I guess they won't agree."

You showed a shallow smile, pulled his pointed hat, and looked at Chu Ge with a relieved gaze.

After worrying about the pain, she was sincerely happy for Chu Ge's achievements.

While the two of them were chatting and talking, the carriage stopped near the gate of the National College.

The bustling young boys and girls converged into a torrent full of youthful breath, although their expressions were different, but in everyone's eyes, there was something called arrogance more or less

- That's how it should be.

Being able to become a member of the National Academy means that they deserve to be in the first echelon of the younger generation of the empire, and pride is inevitable.

However, the man who had just arrived in Greenland and became famous overnight was like a barrier that could never be crossed, and it became a lingering haze for all the new students.

"Hey, you know, it's actually the person from the Church who came to the stage to speak as a freshman representative this time!"

"No, could it be Aurora...... What does this mean? Let that pervert humiliate us? ”

"Isn't she supposed to be a freshman? I guess her eight achievements are just a freshman in the academy, and the teaching should still be done by the Templar, and it is estimated that she will only show up for a share when the academy releases any benefits. ”

Around Chu Ge and them, the most discussed was Aurora's name.

Envy? Eat one's heart out? Unwilling? Chase?

These emotions may only be present in new students.

Sighing, numbness, helplessness, depression.

Most of the old students, and even most of the teachers, should have the same ideas as Xia Lei. For that kind of darling of the heavens, except for looking up, other emotions are just a waste of spirit.

There was only one person, and his expression was very different from the freshmen around him.

As Chu Ge expected, You's face was covered with coldness, as if just hearing the name Aurora would cause her disgust.

Chu Ge patted You's shoulder and shook his head gently at the girl.

After realizing his gaffe, Yu took a deep breath, tried to calm down his emotions, and walked to the gathering point with Chu Ge.

Chu Ge looked up at the sun that was gradually becoming brighter, if everything went well, Ryu should already be working as a clerk.

Except for a few necessary matters, he did not interfere too much with Ryu, except for his trust in [Mistress of Abundance], but also in Ryu.

After all, even the seriously injured person in her previous life was not discovered, and now it would be ridiculous if she was caught after breaking through the transcendental.

*******

……

"Here, I wish you all good luck!"

As the first rising star of the royal capital, Aya was invited by Heinrich, the president of the National Academy, to deliver a speech as a representative of the freshmen.

As one of the thousands of freshmen, Chu Ge listened to the other party's speech in the square under the blazing sun, and after the last encouragement just now, the speech finally ended, and You finally opened his eyes.

Seeing the dazzling figure on the stage, Chu Ge subconsciously touched his chest.

In the battle in the previous life, even if the liberation of the shadows was used, even with the unparalleled growth power of the players, Chu Ge had never won against Aya.

Even if all kinds of means are used, Aya can defeat him with dignity, if it weren't for the other party's mercy again and again, he might have died a long time ago.

However, after being disappointed again and again, Aya's little wish was finally shattered, and after that, she strengthened her beliefs.

She didn't have to be an apostle, if there was someone better and more suitable in the empire than her, she would definitely give the apostle with both hands, but for Hererys, she never recognized it.

Even if the other party's decision is absolutely correct, even if the result of that decision is absolutely valid, even if the other party's decision is indeed considered by the majority...... She couldn't approve of it either.

Similarly, she couldn't recognize Chu Ge.

Maybe your decision is wrong, maybe you can't come up with a better plan, or maybe you don't know what to do when you connect with it......

But she just can't recognize, can't approve of those means.

That's it, she's pretty shrewd and smart on weekdays, but at critical moments, she will look stupid and stubborn,

And kind.

What makes Chu Ge powerless and helpless is that every time Aya pulls them back, she can get all kinds of unreasonable help, and she can play the most satisfying ending in the most unscrupulous way.

If I could, I wouldn't want to bear my sins...... Although it has long been numb. ’

Chu Ge sighed softly, compared to the sweetly smiling girl in Ino's memory, the person in his impression in his previous life was undoubtedly closer to Aya on the stage.

Although her eloquence is average, I have to say that Aya's speech was indeed sincere and infectious, touching many new students who were originally hostile to her.

"I'll go over there first, and I'll wait for you in the big library when I'm done."

Because the news of Chu Ge's promotion to the second order had not yet been known by the academy, he could only say goodbye to You for the time being and go to the gathering place of the first-order freshmen, and You nodded silently and left.

Just as Chu Ge had just said goodbye to You, he slowly followed the crowd to move......

"Found you!"

A voice that was trying to suppress his joy suddenly sounded in his ears, and he felt that something was pulling at the corner of his clothes.

A thin figure covered by a cloak and hood, a few centimeters shorter than Chu Ge.

“…… Friendship? ”

Although most of her face was covered by a hood, Chu Ge could still distinguish her identity.

Hearing Chu Ge calling her name, Aya's hands trembled, as if she didn't expect Chu Ge to recognize herself at once.

"I'm so happy...... Ino hasn't forgotten me. ”

Aya's voice was a little hoarse, and there seemed to be an effort in her voice to stop something from pouring out, but the droplets of water that kept dripping on the ground said it all.

"I'm surprised, I didn't expect to see you here. I'm so thankful that you can see me from so many new students. ”

Chu Ge thought that Aya hadn't been able to see him.

Aya wiped the corners of her eyes, but the tears still didn't stop, she only continued to ask in a hoarse voice:

"You, wasn't she next to you just now? Why didn't I see her? ”

"She's ......"

When Chu Ge was just about to say something, the wrist chakra that Aya was wearing suddenly flickered, interrupting Chu Ge's words.

Aya didn't pay attention to it at all, and pressed her wrist chakra with her right hand and said:

"It's okay, just keep talking."

"She and I ......"

As if sensing Aya's thoughts, the wrist chakra immediately continued to flash, and there was no intention of stopping at all.

In desperation, Aya could only say to Chu Ge:

"Sorry, I'm in a hurry, do you have any destinations next? I'll be looking for you in a moment. ”

Chu Ge thought for a moment and replied, "Destination...... I'll be waiting for you there in the big library. ”

"It's a deal!"

After getting Chu Ge's answer, Aya turned around and left quickly, burrowing into the crowd without looking back.

'Really, why now. ’

Aya carefully dodged the flow of people, even with her heart, she couldn't help but regret complaining in her heart at the moment.

What is it? How can you be in such a hurry......'
