The bartender pointed out, "But aren’t you here for the Red-haired Swordswoman?"
"Yeah, during the teor Disaster finals, I was moved by the indomitable spirit of the Sword Maiden." The young man in wolf attire turned to look at the big sports field. "I was thinking maybe I could run into her at the masquerade ball and then charm her into falling for ; at the very least, I could make friends with her... But seriously, how could anyone recognize her here? Even the singer on stage has red hair!"
"I thought you were just here to have fun," the bartender looked at the young man in wolf attire with an unusual expression. "Isn’t that wild outfit ant to cancel out your dating eligibility?"
"I heard Sword Maiden likes people who aren’t from Sword Flower, so I thought she might not fancy the lavish style of Sword Flower University, and that’s why I specially dressed as a Werewolf Swordsman." The young man in wolf attire rested his chin in a pretend deep thought, "Do you see a lion hidden in my eyes?" He hadn’t given up on flirting with the bartender yet.
"Honestly, I think you’re pretty adorable," the bartender said while wiping a glass, trying to hold back laughter. "Like a fluffy big dog; the Sword Maiden might just like that."
"Give it up."
Next to the bar, another young man with a golden mask spoke up, "Aren’t you aware that Lerush confessed to the Sword Maiden a few days ago?"
"Lerush? Lerush Waldo?" The young man in wolf attire exclaid, "The eldest son of Void Star Earl? The swordsmanship prodigy at Truth University, second only to Demi?"
In the noble circles, the five dukes known as the ’Five Stars’ are undoubtedly the pinnacle of nobility, yet they’re not invincible in terms of status. Recently, five earls have risen during the technological revolution, known as the ’Little Stars,’ signifying that their influence is gradually challenging the Five Stars.
Among them, the Void Star Earl Waldo is one; their family holds five major virtual gaming guilds, commanding 80% of the national gaming market share, while continually expanding to recruit talent. Almost every young person has played their gas. In terms of social impact, talent provision, and annual inco, the Void Star Earl is on par with the established dukes, and ’Void Star Gas’ has beco countless young people’s childhood.
Lerush, as the eldest son of the Void Star Earl, has an undeniable family background and stands out as a swordsmanship genius. In his third year at Truth University, he completed the Two-winged stage, once considered a rival to Demi—although nobody says that now.
Regardless, Lerush is the ultimate noble gentleman; if he openly pursues the Red-haired Swordswoman, others are compelled to retreat in silence.
"The news of Lerush confessing to the Sword Maiden has been the hottest topic these days; how could you not know?" The golden mask chuckled, "He didn’t confess quietly to the Sword Maiden; instead, he staged a grand performance at the swordsmanship club, with roses carpeting the ground and fireworks filling the sky... Oh, Lerush also t the Sword Maiden at the swordsmanship club."
During the sumr break, Combat Mages often don’t close themselves off; instead, they participate in various clubs for competition and exchange. Clubs of a lower level might just be a few students renting a classroom, while higher-level clubs are typically ford by professors.
Without a doubt, a club that both the Sword Maiden and Lerush join must be a top-tier swordsmanship club, needing no na. Only the weak would take pride in being ’a mber of XX club’ or ’being in the sa club as XX.’ For these genius mages, clubs are rely ordinary places for sparring and training.
"I had no idea; I was dragged by the old man to the far eastern village for half a month, saying it would be an eye-opener. Yet, I just ended up feeding mosquitoes for half a month; I only got back yesterday and am completely clueless about what’s been happening in Jiale City!" The young man in wolf attire lanted, "The Sword Maiden hasn’t accepted, has she? My Sword Maiden—"
"Fortunately, she hasn’t."
"Thank goodness."
"But Lerush added, ’I know you have feelings for soone, but even if we can’t be lovers, we can be friends. I hope to be your most important friend and the one who can help you the most. The path of swordsmanship is long and lonely; we can compete and learn from each other. Although my current strength isn’t up to Demi’s, I’ll soon catch up.’"
"That guy has no good intentions, plotting to slowly seduce the Sword Maiden under the guise of ordinary friendship!" The young man in wolf attire was indignant, "With those words and tactics, it’s clear he’s an old hand with charm; the Sword Maiden should’ve broken ties with him on the spot! How did the Sword Maiden respond?"
The bartender raised an eyebrow—wasn’t it just earlier that soone said if pursuing the Sword Maiden failed, they’d aim to be friends...
"You might find the Sword Maiden’s response sowhat familiar."
"Hmm?"
"She said, ’If I need competitors, Senior Reonie and Sister Trozan already give sufficient pressure, why should I engage with the opposite sex? Lerush, it’s not that I dislike you not being from Holy Domain; in fact, no matter who it is, even if Demi proposes a private relationship request, I wouldn’t agree. There’s no need for you to belittle yourself.’"
At this point, the golden mask sighed, "Why drag Demi into this when they were just confessing and rejecting each other?"
"Bravo!" The young man in wolf attire clapped the table in delight, "As expected of the Sword Maiden, skillfully identifying Lerush’s sche with a gracious and dignified response! Wait a minute, those words do sound a bit familiar..."
