Chapter 6 Roommate
In just three seconds, the above events happened within three seconds, and the "First Knight" was defeated. It was such a powerful force.
Hanya is a high-ranking intermediate swordsman. In The Human Realm, after reaching the high-ranking level, the difference between each level cannot be described by the rule of one plus one equals two. The gap between the half-saint and the saint rank, the demigod and the god rank is even more vast, let alone the difference between the saint and the god rank. Legend has it that those who reach the god rank are equivalent to the upper gods and demon kings of the divine and demonic realms. And now, I defeated a high-ranking intermediate swordsman in three seconds, which means I now possess power beyond the high-ranking intermediate level.
"Alright, don't get too close, Yang, you've won. Let go of Hanya. How long do you want to keep hugging her?" The president looked at us with a resentful look, complaining.
"Oh~ I smell jealousy!" I slowly let go of Hanya and said confidently.
"Don't make things up. There's no jealousy!"
"Then why is your face turning red?"
"It's... it's because it's hot in here. Let's stop talking and come with me for the final exam."
"Here I come!" I put my hands in my pockets and secretly glanced at Hanya. Our eyes met and she quickly turned her head, leaving behind a beautiful figure with long, captivating emerald hair.
I followed the president to the lounge of the gymnasium. As soon as I entered the lounge, the president quickly locked the windows and set up soundproof magic. Then, she turned around, her golden hair flowing, leaving behind a beautiful curve and a faint fragrance, throwing herself into my arms, her face blushing.
"It's been ten years, finally~~ we can be together again. I missed you so much." Tears were already streaming down the president's eyes, wetting my uniform.
"Yes, Elena, we meet again. You have grown up and changed a lot compared to ten years ago. You have become stronger." I gently stroked the president's head, and if her fan club saw her acting so charming and coquettish, I wondered how many people would be harmed.
"Of course, I always remember our promise. I exercise every day. I won't be the little girl who needs protection anymore."
"You're amazing, Elena. But what if you don't need my protection?"
"Hehe, even if I become stronger, you will still protect me, because I am your fiancee!" Elena said, unbuttoning her shirt. Above her firm chest, around the position of her heart, there was a glowing golden magic formation with a dragon head in the center and ancient runes surrounding it. "As long as this contract formation exists, I will be your fiancee." Elena said happily.
"Even without it, you are still my wife."
"Welcome back, my fiance."
"I'm back." I kissed her deeply.
Suddenly, Elena's magic formation burst with brilliance, illuminating the entire house. The runes around the dragon head kept rotating and slowly disappeared, then another set of runes appeared. These new runes were more profound and their brilliance was more dazzling. The runes seemed to be alive, pulsating.
"This is your reward, Elena." I released Elena's mouth and whispered in her ear.
"I can feel that the power of the contract has become stronger."
"It's getting late. Let's go out. I'll leave the rest to you."
"Are you still going to hide?"
"There are still things that are not the right time for me to tell you."
"You promised to tell me when we met again ten years ago. So you were lying." Elena wasn't really angry, she was just pouting.
"I didn't lie, it's just not the right time yet."
"Well, I will always believe in you."
"Thank you!" I took out a pair of blue-framed glasses from my pocket, put them on again, and with a flash of white light, I returned to my original appearance. The president also straightened her clothes, and the magic formation hid back into her skin.
"Um, what happened?"
"Congratulations, Qin Yang, you have become a member of the student council." Elena returned to her original self, and her earlier coquettishness was gone.
"Huh!?"
Although I still didn't understand how I became a member of the student council, it wasn't the focus at the moment. The focus was that when I returned to the classroom, I found out that Lilith was the transfer student in our class.When I walked into the classroom, she kept staring at me and said, "What's the point of mentioning that she is younger than me?"
Until she noticed that I sat in the seat next to her, I clearly saw Lilith's hand trembling, and finally a faint blue flame flickered in her hands, waving towards me.
Just as I hesitated, I made a move, a move I regretted.
I raised my right hand, holding the student council certificate, and said, "The president said that without permission, no infighting is allowed. Don't you forget about it."
She indeed stopped and gritted her teeth, saying, "Two years, your death sentence will come in two years."
Two years? Where should I escape in two years?
"Hey, little lamb, did you say something you shouldn't have said? I received intelligence that three people who insulted her were chased and killed today. You're not one of them, are you? And how did you join the student council? It's really unreasonable. I applied several times in a row but couldn't even pass the preliminary selection. I'm really resentful!" Wang Ming, sitting behind me, turned out to be another victim! Come to think of it, I was his savior.
Finally, school was over. I quickly finished dinner and felt exhausted all over. Today's troubles were not ordinary, so I went back to the dormitory after eating and prepared to take a shower and go to bed.
But when I came back, I smelled a faint floral fragrance, jasmine. That was my first reaction.
Following the scent of the flowers, I found the source - Qin Yin's room.
Ah! Although he's handsome, does he have to create such a romantic atmosphere in his own room? Could it be...he wants to bring someone back? Unbelievable! He doesn't even care about us nerds. I can't tolerate my roommate having all the fun while I'm left in the cold.
"Whoosh," the sound of water came from the bathroom.
"Hey, Qin Yin, why don't we shower together? It can deepen our bond and save time. Besides, I have something to say to you. You---" I was mercilessly rejected before I could finish.
"Ah! No, you...you can't come in."
"Click," the door was locked from the inside.
"Hey, seriously? We are both men. What you have, I also have. What's there to mind?"
"When I say no, it means no." He sounded a bit scared.
"Fine, I won't come in. But I have something to tell you. Don't think just because you are tall and handsome, you can bring girls over and do impure things. It really bothers me." I said helplessly.
"Not...impure things?"
"You know what I mean~"
"......"
"And also, why do you like wearing pink lace underwear? It's really perverse!"
"Ah~ how did you know?"
"I saw it in your room."
"What? You entered my room?" Suddenly, he opened the bathroom door, and the fragrance rushed towards me. His black hair was slightly damp, his face turned pink from the steam in the bathroom. With his cute face and tall figure, a few centimeters taller than me, combined with this after-shower scene, it made my heart beat faster. This isn't normal, he's a man! What's wrong with me?
"You...you can't come into my room anymore!" He seemed angry.
Did I say something wrong?
"Fine, I won't come in anymore. But I showed you my room, alright? Don't be too concerned. We are roommates now, we are together day and night, it's not good to have conflicts." I said friendly.
"Alright then. But you can't enter my room in the future, understand?"
"Got it, got it. Let's not talk about this. How about we introduce ourselves? Roommates are friends, right?"
"Sounds good. I'll go first!" Qin Yin thought for a moment and then said, "My name is Qin Yin, I'm a boy, a boy!"
"You don't need to emphasize that. It's like you're cross-dressing as a girl."
"Uh... "He awkwardly lowered his head, his face slightly blushing.
My heart was beating fast. What's going on? This shouldn't happen! How can I have this kind of inclination? No, absolutely not. I haven't even had a girlfriend, how could I be swayed like this? I keep reassuring myself that he just looks like a girl, but he's a man, and I don't like men.
While I was struggling desperately, Qin Yin continued, "I am a Paladin from the Light faction, from the Qin family, a side branch of the imperial family."
The Light faction and the Holy faction are both part of the Light faction. The difference between the two is that the Holy faction focuses on healing, while the Light faction focuses on attacking. They correspond to the Dark Magic, which is classified into the Abyss faction and the Night faction. But for me, what I'm most concerned about is that Qin Yin is actually from the largest family in the empire, the Qin family, second only to the royal family. The current family head is one of the ten Demigod-ranked magic masters in the empire, and also the youngest one - Qin Fengyu. It is said that he is extremely popular with women, but he is also very pure. He only had one wife, but she died ten years ago due to certain circumstances, and that night was a night filled with endless grief. Every time I think about it, it's just heartbreak.My eyes turned red without me realizing it.
"What's wrong?"
"Nothing."
"But..."
"Let's not talk about it," I changed the topic: "So you're from the Qin family, that's why you passed the test."
"Yeah~~ I'm originally from a remote branch of the family, I didn't have the ability to come to this school. However, ten years ago, the wife of the head of the main family passed away, and even their only heir disappeared without a trace. Now, in order to find someone who can inherit the position of the family head, I was chosen to come here for training."
"I see."
"I've already told you a lot, now it's your turn! It seems like you're also surnamed Qin!" He looked at me with a cautious gaze.
"Don't misunderstand, I just happen to have the surname Qin. My parents died when I was six, and I was adopted by the Lin couple. I have no relation to your Qin family, and there is no way that your Qin family would accept someone like me."
"What do you mean by someone like you who can't appear or be accepted by our Qin family?"
"Oh? You don't know me, I thought I was quite famous!"
"In fact, I just transferred to this school today too, because I heard that the student council represents the strongest fighting power, so I joined. I believe Lilith did the same. Besides, were you really famous before?" He touched his head in embarrassment, with a very innocent and lovely gesture. I couldn't help but blurt out, "You're really cute!"
"Cute?!" Why did he blush? It was so strange. And he became even cuter. If only he were a girl... these thoughts resurfaced and I shivered, feeling that if I stayed with him for a long time, I would eventually become abnormal.
I finally managed to push away those thoughts and continue the conversation: "Actually, I was quite famous, but famous for being a waste."
"A waste?"
"Uh, I'm a low-ranking Magic user, with no exceptional Magic talent, so I'm a Magic arts researcher."
"What?!" Qin Yin stood up excitedly.
"What's wrong?"
"T-then how did you defeat Hanya and enter the student council?"
"Defeat Hanya?"
