Chapter 7: Today I Start Being a Lolita (1)

  Eriol finally regained some consciousness.

  "This is... Ah, I remember now. Earlier, I wasn't able to knock down that senior student named Angie, but instead got knocked down by her. Uh, doesn't that mean both Michelle and I are in a defenseless state right now? If I just open my eyes, the only thing I'll see is an evil adult scene like those found in H-Games? Hey, isn't this joke going too far?! I don't want to get XXOO'd and then have a bad ending! Let me load my save data and try again~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Come on, P! This isn't a game!"

  A metallic crashing sound reached Eliya's ears, but she always felt that the distance was far away, as if it were on the horizon.

  Metal? Iron chains? Shackles!? Binding Py!? In Eriol's mind, a picture suddenly appeared of her and Michelle being tied together with large iron chains in a very embarrassing yet seductive pose, with bright roses covering their private parts.

  Wait a minute! This isn't the time for daydreaming, is it?! Hurry up and snap out of it, that's the priority right now!

  The metallic sound was getting closer and clearer. Eli suddenly realized that it wasn't the sound of metal chains, but the clash of swords.

  She involuntarily opened her eyes.

  Li Hua's bright white first-class Dou Qi urged her to move quickly and change positions, wanting to launch an attack on An Qi, who was also moving rapidly. Although An Qi was now at the end of his strength, with even the blue light of his Dou Qi flickering dimly, he was still not someone Li Hua could handle easily.

  Li Hua's sword flashed again, and the blade's edge emitted a dazzling white lightning bolt that struck An Qi, who was still out of position. The latter raised her sword to block it. A blue glow accompanied by a deafening roar flashed past, and the icy air flow swept in all directions, stirring up countless flowers, grass, sand, and stones.

  Li Hua was knocked back more than ten meters, his two feet plowing deep furrows in the ground. An Qi, on the other hand, didn't move from her original position, as if the previous exchange had been just a gentle breeze passing by.

  But Alicia noticed that Angie's forehead had already sweated fine, and her breathing was already chaotic. However, these were all based on Li Hua's full-force attack. Once Li Hua's fighting spirit was exhausted, defeat would come immediately. Moreover, this was obviously just a matter of time. The total amount of fighting spirit and recovery speed of a first-level warrior and a third-level warrior couldn't be compared.

  Must defeat Angie before Li Hua runs out of energy!

  Alicia struggled to sit up, using her left hand to prop herself up on the ground and stabilize her body. Her right hand grasped the staff and laboriously raised it, aiming at the two people in the field: "Accelerate! Wind Binding Technique!"

  Li Hua, who was originally on par with An Qi in terms of speed, finally completely overpowered the latter after receiving a boost, and launched a fierce attack while loudly saying "Thanks!" Suddenly, it seemed like a white whirlwind swept through the field, engulfing the faint blue figure within.

  Li Hua made repeated attempts to attack An Qi from different directions, but the latter calmly parried each blow with her sword. The shiny single-handed swords emitted dazzling sparks and intense fighting spirit, accompanied by the sound of metal clashing and the girl's soft cries, set against the backdrop of the sunset on the grassland, forming a beautiful momentary silhouette.

  Anqi's movements had already become disordered, she didn't dare to frequently use her Qi to boost her speed and instead circled around in a small range for defense, only using her Qi to counterattack when fighting against Li Hua Yin.

  The battle was just like before, and the end was only a matter of time - except this time the winner and loser were reversed.

  "Airi's sister, you're awake?" Miharu asked from a short distance away, still bound. "Don't force yourself to use magic, it's bad for your body."

  Can't you care about yourself for once? Like saying something like "Help me untie the knot".

  "It's okay, I have the 'Bottom Power Lv9' and 'HP, EN Recovery (Large)' two innate abilities."

  "......Huh? I didn't quite catch that?" Michele said, tilting her head.

  "It doesn't matter if you don't understand, as long as the readers get it."

  The conversation between the two also startled Donarson, who was stunned on one side, and he roared with anger, wanting to pounce over and grab them as hostages. However, Eriol pointed at the blue electric current emanating from the tip of his staff, which involuntarily stopped him in his tracks.

  "Impossible! How do you still have magic?" Donnerson, at this moment, didn't have the slightest noble image. He glared with his bloodshot crimson eyes, his gaze full of resentment, like a gambler who had lost everything.

  He also gathered almost all the followers arranged by his family to enter the academy for this revenge action, and even spent a lot of money to invite senior sisters. However, it seems that none of these have worked. Although Donason himself left a hand that can be slipped away immediately, his followers are doomed. The college's handling of such malicious incidents is generally "expulsion".

  This means that Donnerson will be alone in the college for the entire academic year. He won't have a single follower by his side until he recruits again. This is unbearable for a vain and proud nobleman who likes to show off.

  "I'm a person with no special features, just super strong comeback power." Elisha shrugged indifferently, "Also known as Little Strong."

  "It's not over between us!" Donnerson said, pulling something out of his pocket. "One day I'll make you kneel before me and lick my toes like a bitch!"

  "Your wailing like a defeated dog is really ruining the natural beauty of this place." Elihisya, who was already past the age where she would get worked up and punch someone at the drop of a hat, didn't bat an eyelid. "If you want to run away with your tail between your legs, now's the time; otherwise, I'd be delighted to invite you to a farewell dinner in the staff room."

  Tangnason pulled out a scroll, which turned into a white light and disappeared after he tore it open.

  "Summoning a scroll? I thought he was trying to provoke me on purpose and then use some secret magical tool to attack me when I'm not on guard." Eriol scratched her cute little head, saying "What a waste of an expression."

  "Mission accomplished. Tangnason and his minions have been defeated. The reward 'Double Dragon Flash' is now available, and the level 2 ki restriction during battle has been lifted."

  With a "clang", after Tang Nanshan escaped, Angie casually threw her sword to one side and sat down on the ground.

  "Who's that? An Qi Xue Jie?" Eri asked cautiously as she approached after untying Michelle.

  "Ah? Oh, sorry. I'm really sorry to have put you through this." An Qi folded her legs and rested her chin on her knees, "I won't run away, when the teacher comes, just tell the truth."

  "Even if it means you'll be expelled?" Li Hua put away his sword.

  "I'm responsible for what I've done myself!" Angie said.

  "So, can you testify that Donarson is the mastermind, senior sister?" Eriol asked.

  "This... I'm sorry! I won't be able to." Angie hesitated for a moment before shaking her head and answering.

  "As expected." Eriol pulled out a comb from her bracelet and began to tidy up the hair that had been messed up earlier, "Sister, do you have any relatives or friends who are seriously ill and need money for treatment?"

  "How did you know?"

  "Considering your previous statement, 'one should take responsibility for their own actions', I don't think you would have any bad debts or high-interest loans. However, Donarson mentioned earlier that he paid for you to come here, so you must be short on cash now. As a martial arts student, it's unlikely you'd need to spend a large amount of money on anything, unless something happened to your family or friends." After fixing her own hair, Erihija pulled Michelle back in front of her and had her sit down on the grass, then began to braid her hair.

  "Is he ill? Has he been blackmailed? Or has something happened?" Li Hua's voice also began to analyze.

  "If it's an accident, the perpetrator will be liable for compensation." Eriol tied the ribbon that came with the letter back onto Misha's hair. "And I think no one in their right mind would try to extort a commoner family with a daughter studying at Hope's Garden. Because students from Hope's Garden are synonymous with excellent talent, who would want to offend a future high-ranking warrior? So only illness is left as a possibility. And also, when you were asked if you could testify against Donatien earlier, you clearly hesitated. He must know that your family or friends are ill and in urgent need of money, which is why he hired you for this job that would get you fired immediately if discovered. Are you afraid of his revenge on your family?"

  "En." Angie nodded silently.

  "What an impressive analytical ability. Little Aili doesn't seem like she's only 12 years old at all." Li Hua pounced over and hugged Aili Xia and Muxue together, "Actually, you're just underdeveloped physically, so you lied about your age, right?"

  "Go die."

  Lying about her age really did make her say something right for once!

  "But now it seems like you won't be able to get a commission from that guy, sis?"

  "It's nothing, it's all my own doing. At least I got some deposit back, and with the remaining 1,000 gold coins, I can quit school and become a mercenary to earn money."

  By the time you've earned enough, people will have died of illness, sister.

  Just like how police always arrive late, it was at this moment that librarian Larwen-sensei appeared in front of the girls with the teachers.

  "What can I say?" the teacher who had just dealt with the incident of Eri and Michelle being attacked at noon said, laughing and crying, "Attacked again?"

  "Ah!" Eriol returned a cute smile to her counterpart.

  "Alright, I won't ask who the mastermind is either. You probably wouldn't say anyway. Just be more careful in the future." The teacher turned to An Qi and said, "So, you're a third-grader? What are you doing here?"

  "I am..."

  Alysha hastily said: "Thanks to An Qi's senior passing by and discovering that we were attacked, and then she drew her sword to help us."

  The teacher looked at Angie's disheveled appearance, shook his head and said nothing more: "Alright then, Larwen take them to the infirmary for treatment."

  The truth is out. Looking at these injuries, it's clear... Never mind, as long as nothing serious happened.

  "Th-that..." Angie hesitated and stopped speaking.

  Alicia winked at her and shook her head slightly.

  The teachers dragged the wounded away, and Larwen also comforted the frightened Misha while leading the way in front. It turned out that she had found Li Hua's voice after notifying the teacher, but didn't know where the incident occurred, so she had to ask students about Li Hua's whereabouts, so it took a lot of time on the road.

  "Ah~ it's finally over!" Li Hua stretched and said, "Let's go eat quickly! Let's go eat quickly!"

  "Before that, Huayin, I have something to ask you." Eri walked up to Li Huayin and said, "You must have received the letter sent by Larwen and then came straight to find me?"

  "Of course! How about thanking me?"

  "Although I wrote on the note in the library to Larwen that she might be followed and shouldn't go tell the teacher, but instead go to the girls' dormitory and give you the letter I hid in my book, so she didn't immediately look for a teacher. So——” Erihlya suddenly hit Li Hua's head with her staff, "Why didn't you report it to the teacher? Why did you come alone?! Are you an idiot?"

  "It hurts so much~~~~~~! Ah, I see! So it turns out that I can report to the teacher and come together!"

  Suddenly, countless black lines appeared above everyone's heads.

  Although it didn't go as I had hoped and we almost lost because you didn't call the teacher, and also missed catching Donason. But your personality of rushing over without caring about anything else when a friend is in trouble is really great. Thanks, Hua Yin.

  I am a divider line

  It was already past seven in the evening when everyone had finished their treatment and eaten dinner.

  After everyone said their goodbyes in the girls' dormitory, Eri and Rihwa finally arrived at the door of room 2A09.

  "Ah, I'm exhausted! This pre-meal exercise is really troublesome." Li Hua said as he opened the door.

  Today is really terrible.

  The lights in the room were on and there was someone inside. In fact, there were two people.

  "Wow, looks like this dorm is fully occupied. Congratulations." Li Hua said loudly as he entered the room.

  A silver-haired girl who was reading at her desk stood up first: "Ah, you two are the other two roommates? Nice to meet you, I'm Kracie Lincks."

  The other brown-haired girl, who was sitting on the bed holding a compact powder box and doing something with it, only noticed the two people entering after hearing their voices and lifting her head. She hastily put away the compact powder box and made a noble greeting: "Hello. I'm Cecilia Robin, nice to meet you."

  Alicia couldn't help but size up the two of them.

  Kasumi is a bit taller than the average girl, and her figure should be considered normal. Her pale skin paired with her delicate features makes her look like an angel who has descended upon the mortal world, especially with her striking silver hair that falls to her waist. Eliysha was so taken aback that she almost drooled. It wasn't until then that she remembered seeing Kasumi in the beauty rankings of "Secret Garden", and if she recalled correctly, Kasumi was ranked second.

  Compared to Krystal's stunning beauty, Cecilia is a kind of elegant and refined beauty. Cecilia's figure is similar to Miyeon's, both are petite but have great curves. Plus her beautiful face, although not as stunning as Miyeon's, with proper skincare and makeup, she doesn't lose out in comparison. Unfortunately, she didn't make it into the ranking list.

  After making a simple self-introduction with Li Hua, Eriya learned from the casual conversations of others that they were also students in the magic department - in other words, classmates.

  Learning of this, Li Hua's eyes welled up with tears as she hugged Eris tightly and sobbed: "Waa~~~ I'm the only one in the martial arts department. Little Eris, I'm so lonely!"

  "Yes, yes, yes, what you're holding isn't your sister, it's loneliness." Eriol pushed her away, "So can I ask the lonely you not to wipe your tears and snot on my uniform?"

  "Just say it if you don't want me to hug you, how would I know otherwise?"

  I think you know very well.

  Li Hua put his hands in front of his eyes, clicking his tongue in admiration and saying: "But Little Ai Li's touch is indeed unparalleled! If it were a man holding you just now, I reckon he'd be thrilled to death!"

  "No, I think he was knocked out by me."

  "So, you two." Li Hua suddenly turned to Khasi and Cecilia, who were watching the scene in front of them with expressions that seemed like they were watching a comedy show, "Let me also give it a try, and see whose touch feels the best?"

  The faces of both people changed instantly.

  "No, never mind." Cecilia had already made a standard defensive gesture of hugging her chest and backing away.

  "Smack!" Eliyah's staff struck Li Hua Yin's head heavily: "Stop it for me!"

  "Haha! Just kidding!" Li Hua said with a mischievous smile, carrying a large package emitting smoke on his head.

  Alicia pointed at Kashi and Cecilia without reserve, saying: "Really? Didn't you see that they both have 'you're not even joking' written all over their faces?"

  "Uh..."

  Eriol's final additional attack: "Actually, Huayin, you're a boy, right? You're a pervert who disguised himself as a girl and snuck into the girls' dormitory, aren't you?"

  The corner of Xia Xi's mouth opposite him twitched involuntarily, clearly desperately holding back a laugh.

  Li Hua's voice has already turned completely grey and white, leaning against the wall in an OTL pose, still muttering something to himself.

  Alicia walked over and listened carefully, only to find that it was something like "Being born as a woman is a mistake" - dangerous words.

  "This person is indeed very frightening!"

  Ariya thought with a gloomy face.
