Villain: After I died, all the heroines cried themselves to sleep.

Inside the barbecue restaurant, everyone happily ate and drank to their hearts' content.

"Old Luo, you're amazing! The news reported the horrific scene, and you still survived. You truly deserve to be called the most monstrous demon king of Dongda University!"

Zhou Yi said casually, reaching out to hook his arm around Luo Chuan's shoulder.

"What 'perverted demon king'? That sounds like you're insulting me!"

Luo Chuan sensed something was off.

"What insult? Brother, I even prepared your funeral portrait and lit some incense for you."

Zhou Yi took out his phone and played a video.

That bastard framed Zhang Luochuan's black-and-white photo and put it in the classroom, then pretended to burn some incense.

Many students in the class followed suit and offered incense.

"Seriously, aren't you all incredibly bored...?"

Luo Chuan laughed in exasperation.

"This shows that you were well-liked, Luo Chuan, which is why everyone mourned your death."

Chen Mubai explained with a sly smile.

"Hmph, only you guys are making a fuss over nothing."

Lu Zhiyao sat on the other side of Luo Chuan and curled her lip in disdain.

He then made his signature hair-flipping gesture.

He proudly raised his chin.

"Luo Chuan is the servant I have chosen. I knew from the beginning that he wouldn't die so easily."

"..."

Luo Chuan glanced at Lu Zhiyao.

He originally thought the other person hadn't changed at all.

I never expected that Miss Lu would become so shameless that she would even lie through her teeth.

If the video weren't still playing, showing Lu Zhiyao with a mournful face burning incense for herself...

Luo Chuan almost believed it.

"I used a lot of my family's resources for you."

Lu Zhiyao glanced at Luo Chuan and smiled confidently.

"How about it? Did you get a sense of my family background? Were you moved by me?"

"To be honest, I was really moved."

Luo Chuan nodded seriously.

He had already heard that the Lu family had used a lot of resources to search for him during his disappearance.

The hunter's bounty was only recently removed.

Luo Chuan has a clear sense of right and wrong.

He remembered this favor.

"..."

Lu Zhiyao was taken aback.

Caught off guard by Luo Chuan's direct attack.

A while later.

"Hmph~ Hehehehe..."

Lu Zhiyao hummed twice and then let out a neurotic laugh.

She suddenly stood up, placed her hand on her chest, looked down at Luo Chuan, and revealed an extremely excited smile.

"I knew this would happen! Luo Chuan, in the end you still fell for my charms, completely bewitched by me!"

She held her head high, her emotions rising, and she became more and more animated as she spoke.

"Hehehe... My charm is irresistible! Even the Great Demon King has been conquered by me. It's my victory!"

"Are you misunderstanding something...?"

Luo Chuan opened his mouth to explain.

Overwhelmed with excitement, Lu Zhiyao ignored him and turned her head to the other side.

He kept waving his hand to fan himself and started complaining.

"Why is the room so hot? Can't they turn the air conditioning down a bit? If I weren't in a good mood today, I would definitely complain about this place."

"Is it hot? I feel quite cool."

Song Haitang asked in confusion.

"Ignore her. It's not like it's the first time she's acted crazy. Young ladies are just hard to please."

Zhou Yi casually made sarcastic remarks.

Luo Chuan ignored Lu Zhiyao and looked past her at Xu Xiaojin.

It's been half a year since I last saw Xu Xiaojin, and she's actually regressed.

She not only combed her hair back into braids.

He put his thick, black-rimmed glasses back on.

No wonder the previous modification task has not been completed yet.

Xu Xiaojin felt Luo Chuan's gaze and looked up at him as well, her eyes flickering slightly.

"It's good that you're back."

She nodded meticulously in acknowledgment.

Despite her past "country girl" look, the aura she exudes is completely different from what she used to have.

Before, it was like a humble green caterpillar crawling in the shadows.

Now they are cocoons protected by an iron shell.

It's a pity there were other people around, otherwise Luo Chuan really wanted to ask Xu Xiaojin if something had happened.

Luo Chuan withdrew his gaze and looked around at everyone.

"Speaking of which, is there no one else in the school? How come it's just a few of you second-year students competing?"

"Because in our grade, the strongest ones have always been those of us with S-level talent."

Chen Mubai said matter-of-factly.

"What about Xu Xiaojin?"

"Xu Xiaojin earned her place as a substitute in the competition by surpassing other A-level students through her own strength and ranking sixth in the grade."

Chen Mubai narrowed his eyes, a meaningful smile playing on his lips.

"That strong?"

Luo Chuan couldn't help but look at Xu Xiaojin with newfound respect.

Before he left, Hsu Hsiao-chin had also made it into the top ten, but the competition was not easy.

In other words, during the six months he was away, Xu Xiaojin continued to level up on her own.

This can only be described as the characteristic of a woman of good fortune.

"Luo Chuan, are you going to participate in the competition?"

Lin Du, who had remained silent until now, suddenly asked a question.

Others also looked over.

"What are you thinking? Haven't the spots already been decided?"

Luo Chuan shrugged dismissively.

"Besides, don't let my appearance fool you, I'm still injured. Even if I wanted to play, Mr. Kobayashi wouldn't allow it, so I'll just be a spectator this time."

"Really? That's a real shame..."

Lin Du shook his head.

Chen Mubai shared this sentiment.

"Indeed, the National Martial Arts Colleges Competition is held every four years. The rewards are generous and it can also bring fame and attract the attention of official institutions or folk hunter guilds. Once this opportunity is gone, it will be gone forever."

"Wait a minute! Aren't we the ones who should be disappointed? If Lao Luo were here, we would have won without even lifting a finger!"

Zhou Yi said regretfully.

"..."

Luo Chuan looked at the three of them.

These guys are indeed just fair-weather friends; their thought processes are all quite different.

……

Back to the hotel.

Luo Chuan gestured to Xu Xiaojin with his eyes, and then went to the hotel rooftop.

Not long after, Xu Xiaojin also caught up.

"Why did you change back into this outfit?"

Luo Chuan got straight to the point.

Upon hearing this, Xu Xiaojin reached out and scratched the braid on her shoulder.

"I just think that being ordinary is fine, there's no need to dress up."

She looked away and lightly touched the ground with her toes.

Luo Chuan was starting to get a little uneasy.

If Xu Xiaojin doesn't transform, will the mission still be completed?

"Didn't you want to become the Ultimate Beautiful Girl? Now you're saying you don't want to anymore? What do you mean by that?"

Luo Chuan forced a kind smile.

It concerns fragments of cause and effect, and he would never give up on it.

Xu Xiaojin has no choice but to change, even if she doesn't want to.

"I've always wanted to become stronger and become someone worthy of Sora, I've never said I wanted to become a beautiful girl."

Xu Xiaojin pursed her lips, mustered her courage, and looked intently at Luo Chuan.

"Luo Chuan, I am truly grateful to you. Without you, I might have gone astray, degenerated into something unbearable, and would never have grown up like this."

"Since you're grateful to me, then keep going and don't let me down."

"I'm sorry, I'm not suited to be a beautiful girl who's the center of attention."

Xu Xiaojin walked to the edge of the rooftop and gazed at the bustling night view, which was reflected in her glasses.

A gentle voice softly sounded.

"During this period of time, I have thought about many things, realized my past naivety, and discovered that many of my insistences were actually meaningless."

"..."

Luo Chuan listened to Xu Xiaojin's confession.

It must be admitted that Xu Xiaojin's appearance remains the same, but she has grown inside.

He grew up to be a rebellious student.

He had already developed disloyal intentions and began to rebel against his teacher.

Very good, you are indeed my student.

The first step towards graduation.

He started by betraying his own teacher.

"You've persisted towards that goal all this time, and now you're telling me you're giving up?"

Luo Chuan is still trying to salvage the system.

He stepped closer to Xu Xiaojin.

He rarely smiles.

"Now that you're in the capital, you'll soon achieve your goal... wait, you've already visited your childhood friend?"

"……Um."

Xu Xiaojin hesitated for a moment before admitting it.

"I went to Imperial University to look for her today, but she didn't acknowledge me."

"Since that's the case..."

"For some reason, I wasn't sad. Instead, I felt relieved, as if I had finally put down a long-standing burden."

Xu Xiaojin gave a helpless, bitter smile.

"Perhaps from beginning to end, it was all just wishful thinking on my part."

"You're completely wrong to think that way!"

Luo Chuan put his hands on Xu Xiaojin's shoulders and turned her to face him.

His expression was extremely serious and cold.

What she thinks is not important; what matters is your own wish.

"This is the goal you have been striving for all this time. I know your perseverance and hard work better than anyone else. Your efforts deserve to be remembered by everyone."

"So promise me, don't give up. She rejected you, so defeat her with your actions, show her all your growth, and personally put an end to your past promise."

"..."

Xu Xiaojin stared blankly at Luo Chuan.

I couldn't help but ask the question that had been lingering in my mind.

"Luo Chuan, why are you helping me so wholeheartedly? I don't think I'm anything special."

Everyone is unique, and you are no exception.

Luo Chuan said earnestly.

"...Since even you say so, then I'll try my best again."

Xu Xiaojin turned her head away shyly.

"That's more like it."

Luo Chuan released his grip with satisfaction.

My heart was filled with joy.

Nice!

What do you mean by a villain destined for good? They managed to save him even though he's like that.

But doing this would be somewhat unfair to Hsu Hsiao-chin.

Even though the other person clearly doesn't want to continue, you still use sweet talk to force them.

They manipulated others completely.

The system is right.

I'm such a jerk.

……

Having finished persuading Xu Xiaojin, the two did not linger on the rooftop.

Luo Chuan made a promise to Xu Xiaojin that he would help her complete her transformation.

The two then returned to the hotel.

Turn into the corridor.

Luo Chuan saw it from afar.

Ms. Kobayashi stood at the door of her room.

Hands crossed.

High heels tapped lightly on the carpet.

She stared blankly at him and Xu Xiaojin.

Luo Chuan suddenly remembered.

It's past 10 o'clock.

"I'm leaving now."

Xu Xiaojin seemed to realize this as well.

He made a clean getaway without any sense of loyalty.

Only Luo Chuan remained.

He faced Ms. Kobayashi's anger alone.
