The hero's gender is yet to be determined after rebirth.

Lorenve kissed Sylph's hand, but didn't linger on me for even a second longer? Sally suddenly felt a pang of disappointment.

Wait, what am I thinking? Sally shook her head, banishing the thought, and looked intently at Lorenwei.

Someone else is standing up for me, and I'm still thinking about random things. That's ridiculous.

At this moment, Lorenwei didn't continue speaking. Instead, she reached out and picked up the book "A Love Across Time and Space - Lunlun and Zhezhe" and began to examine it.

"The cover art is great! The character design is really good, I'm satisfied. It's just that I can't quite accept it, isn't this pose a bit inappropriate? I can't do that kind of deep eye contact," Lorenwei commented with a smile.

The girl who designed the cover was one of the girls present. She was very encouraged after hearing the story and stared at Lorenwei with a bright look in her eyes.

As for the girl responsible for writing the text, she looked on with great trepidation.

She started writing this novel, and many parts were just random random thoughts. She even wrote a lot of things that she herself is embarrassed about, all in an effort to attract readers, so she's feeling very guilty now.

"[The wind blew through my blue hair, but brought no coolness of summer. The clouds I looked up at tangled and drifted aimlessly in the sky. The water in the distance had an indistinct horizon. Just like the restlessness that still lingered in my heart, refusing to leave. The nagging voices of those annoying old women still seemed to echo in my ears.]" Lorenwei actually read the contents of this storybook aloud in front of everyone.

No one protested; everyone listened quietly.

"Great! Better than I expected! Although the parallelism isn't perfect, it's a very well-written piece that captures the protagonist Loren's feelings beautifully!" Lorenwei exclaimed with delight, flipping through a few more pages and praising the piece repeatedly.

The author, a female student, listened with a flushed face and shining eyes, her body trembling slightly.

Several girls around her looked at her with envy.

However, I, a female student, soon felt a little embarrassed.

Because Lorenwei was about to read some of the more difficult parts.

“[His eyes were glazed over, as if he were waiting for my guidance. His lips were trembling, as if he were tempting me to commit a crime…]” Lorenwei took a deep breath, glanced at everyone, “I’m sorry, I can’t read this part anymore, I don’t like it.”

A few boys chuckled softly.

But many girls around them glared at them fiercely.

The boys quickly shut up.

Lorenwei flipped through a few pages and read a few more sentences, but quickly stopped: "[A cool sensation came from my hands]...uh...the rest seems to be prohibited, right?"

"Stop, stop reading! I'm taking the book back!" The female author, feeling ashamed, rushed over and tried to take the book away.

"Hey, what are you planning to do with these books?"

"Uh... burn... it... then..." The female author felt heartbroken.

"Isn't that a bit of a waste?" Lorenwei asked.

The female author said helplessly, "But what can we do if we don't burn them? I was wrong, these books shouldn't be circulated."

"If you burn it, we won't be able to recover the printing costs." The girl with glasses, who was the president, said this as she walked over, her words intended to stop him.

As a female writer, I'm in a dilemma. Although I'm the one who wrote this story, the president's financial resources are the key; otherwise, it wouldn't have been printed.

“Alright, your price is three silver coins, so here are... about a hundred books, I’ll buy them all.” Lorenwei flipped her hand and took out three gold coins from her spatial ring.

Amidst the astonished gazes of the female student, the female president, and everyone else, Lorenwei placed three gold coins on the table, then picked up a thick stack of books with both hands and walked towards the cafeteria's food serving area.

"Auntie, may I borrow this metal trash can for a moment?" Lorenwei said.

She stopped in front of a metal trash can, about a step's diameter away.

After the cafeteria lady responded, he suddenly threw the food upwards with both hands.

The thick stack of books wasn't thrown very high, but the moment the books rose, Lorenwei's hands were free, and she quickly formed a spell gesture.

call--

A small whirlwind formed above the trash can, causing the thick stack of books to rustle loudly, but due to the wind, they did not fall immediately.

"He cast wind magic without chanting a spell!" a knowledgeable girl exclaimed softly.

"This is at least at the level of a Grand Mage! And the control is amazing; the books weren't blown away, they were just left hanging in mid-air!"

"Yes, this surpasses the control of a peak Archmage, right? Is it at the Archmage level?"

In fact, Lorenwei's magical reserves are absolutely no less than any archmage, and her mana bar even reaches the level of a grand archmage. Her control is also quite strong, especially her ability to cast different elemental spells with both hands simultaneously, which is simply unparalleled.

It's just that people are lazy and don't like to memorize spells, especially complex advanced magic and forbidden spells, and their overall control of the flow of magical elements is far inferior to her micro-management skills.

Everyone stared in bewilderment as Lorenwei used wind to control the books in mid-air. What was she doing? They all waited curiously for her next move.

Immediately afterwards, another flame shot up.

"Use both systems simultaneously!"

"Wind magic hasn't disappeared!"

"Does this ability really exist? The book says that some people have studied it, but few have mastered it, right?"

Amidst gasps of surprise, the many books that Lorenwei had controlled with the wind were set ablaze in mid-air.

The black smoke from the burning paper was enveloped by Lorenwei's wind magic, forming a thick smog that hovered above the burning paper, resembling a dense dark cloud.

The students, who were well-versed in magic, were now completely awestruck.

"Such amazing control over magic! No wonder she's Lorenve!"

They knew how powerful this control was.

Soon, the books were mostly burned, and Lorenwei carefully controlled the remaining debris to fall into the trash can.

As for the thick black smoke, she used wind magic to blow it out of the window.

Although the smell of burning smoke still lingered in the air, the level of control he displayed was absolutely astonishing and truly remarkable.

Some students discussed, "Even the strongest magic teacher in our academy probably couldn't achieve this level, right?"

"Of course! Who could do that? I'm sure my magic teacher couldn't. He even got himself soaked while trying to control rain clouds in class last time. Asking him to control smoke with wind magic is absolutely impossible."

After finishing, Lorenwei clapped her hands and turned back to the students of the Care Association, saying, "I'm sorry, these books have been destroyed. Actually, there was a little reason behind it; I didn't really like them. Please forgive me."

"No, no, since you personally expressed your dislike, we should destroy it ourselves." The girl with glasses quickly changed the subject, acknowledging their mistake.

She then went on and on, following Lorenwei around and constantly asking her what kind of stories and novels she liked.

Lorenwei simply nodded slightly to her surroundings, smiled, and walked straight out of the cafeteria without answering.

When we passed by Kurala, I naturally took her hand.

Kurala didn't struggle and let her pull her out of the cafeteria in front of everyone.

"Ah—I'm so envious!" a girl screamed.

One of the boys complained, "Tch, what's with all the yelling? Ouch!"

The next second, he was kicked by a group of girls, and his back was covered with countless footprints.

"So handsome, so incredibly handsome!" The president of the care association, wearing glasses, watched Lorenwei's departing figure, her hands clasped to her heart, still excited, her eyes filled with pink hearts. "Even when he ignores me, he's still so handsome. I can't take it anymore, my heart is going to stop beating."

"My cover got praised too," the girl who drew the figures said happily.

"My story was praised! And even burned by Lorenwei herself! Oh my, that's wonderful! I'll remember this moment forever!" The female writer who wrote this challenging novel paced back and forth excitedly. "I've got an inspiration! My next novel will be 'The Cool and Handsome Side of Burning My Novel'!"

"Lorenwei was so close to us just now! That's amazing, today is truly a happy and wonderful day!" The other female members of the Lorenwei Care Association also happily held hands and jumped around.

These girls were already members, so they were naturally infatuated with Lorenwei. The idol effect they were having was relatively mild; at least none of them fainted from happiness.

Inside the cafeteria, only one girl looked on with a sense of emptiness as Lorenwei and Kurara disappeared towards the exit.

She didn't look at me again...

Sally's head drooped, and she walked away alone, feeling dejected.

At the entrance of the cafeteria, Silph chuckled and hopped over like a deer, then naturally took her hand and walked together, playfully scolding, "Lorenve, you're such a show-off! Burning books in mid-air in front of everyone, wow, killing several birds with one stone."

"Yes, I didn't offend anyone and I still got a lot of attention. Aren't I clever?" Lorenwei said smugly.

Sylph scolded, "You clearly just like to show off and play the hero. But you were smart enough not to look at people you shouldn't have looked at or talk to people you shouldn't have talked to."

Lorenwei looked genuinely puzzled: "What do you mean by 'inappropriate person'? Who are you talking about?"

Kurara tapped Lorenwei's arm: "Play dumb."

Lorenvi grimaced, "Hey, don't hit me. I was struggling to control my magic just now, and my muscles are sore."

"Was that your peak performance just now?" Kurara asked, puzzled.

"Yes, do you think controlling smoke and burning in mid-air doesn't consume mental energy? I'm in such a hurry to leave because my mental energy is too depleted. I have a headache and need to go back to sleep."

Sylph snapped, "You trying to act cool, you idiot!"

Lorenwei, however, remained unfazed: "At least the goal was achieved, all those books I hated were burned, hahaha!"

Kula chimed in, "Burning them won't make much of a difference. Those books must have been sold by now, right? They're definitely circulating in the market. And after your commotion, some people who haven't read them before will want to buy them. I'm afraid these books will be hyped up, and they'll definitely be very expensive and hard to find."

“…Oh no, I overlooked that.” Lorenwei said with a mournful face, full of regret.

Back in the villa, she lay on the bed, feeling miserable, unable to sleep for a long time, sighing and complaining.

Siluf, who was sitting by the bed taking care of her, tapped her: "Why are you always humming and hawing? It's so annoying."

"I'm so sad. It was fun to act cool, but it ended up giving me a headache. And I didn't even manage to pick up any girls..."

"See, you finally told the truth!" Kurara, who was tidying her clothes nearby, said angrily. "I knew this guy had no good intentions; he only stood up for Sally. Sylph, pinch her!"

"Hey, stop pinching me! You were the one who stood up for me, and I helped you clean up the mess. How can you pinch me now? You have to believe me, I never intended to have anything to do with that Sally."

Sylph continued to exert force: "She only intervened because she saw Sally being bullied."

"Really! We won't have anything to do with Sally anymore, so how could I possibly be thinking about flirting? I was just being cheeky earlier~"

Sylph: "I'd never believe you."

"Oh dear, I swear, I'll never have anything to do with Sally again! Or else I'll just have to shrink a few centimeters!"

What nonsense are you spouting now?

……

After Lorenwei took a nap, Bourb came to visit.

Old man Burbo was very careful and didn't go up to the second floor at all. Instead, he sat on the first floor and waited for Lorenwei to come down.

After Lorenwei came down, Burbo said directly, "The Misty Sea competition will start in four days. Lorenwei, shouldn't your team start practicing together?"

"That's true. Oh, right, you said you'd help me find a teammate..."

Burbo leisurely accepted the tea offered by Kurara and said slowly, "Ah, you mean Sally?"
