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

The sky was clear, the sun was shining brightly, and there wasn't a cloud in sight.

The venue for the martial arts competition was bustling and lively.

Before we knew it.

The competition for second-year students has entered the final stage.

The two teams that have advanced to the finals are Tojo University and Teito University.

Tianwu University unfortunately lost to the powerful Imperial Capital University in the semi-finals.

However, this also forced out Chu Kai's strongest form.

Chu Kai defeated his opponent with overwhelming force as soon as he made his move.

They displayed terrifying combat power that was almost invincible.

It shocked everyone.

In contrast, Dongcheng University has had a bumpy road ahead.

It was only thanks to Lin Du's explosive performance that they defeated Weiyang University and made it into the finals.

It simply doesn't have the same dominance as Imperial University.

The day of the final.

The stadium was packed to capacity, with a deafening roar of voices.

Luo Chuan also sat in the audience to watch the game.

What's interesting is...

Someone brought up the old story, mentioning how Luo Chuan rejected Imperial University back then.

However, he did not participate in this martial arts competition.

It is suspected that he was afraid and chose to desert his post.

Luo Chuan listened without any emotional reaction, and even felt like laughing.

Let's go back to the game.

Both sides have already sent their first competitor.

The student representing Teito University was Wen Zhinian, while the student representing Tojo University was Xu Xiaojin.

"The final battle is about to begin, will there be a reconciliation?"

Luo Chuan thought to himself.

His memories of the time he had spent with the two of them flashed through his mind.

To fulfill Wen Zhinian's wish, the three of them actually went to many places.

Including but not limited to hiking and fishing in the suburbs, renting out a basketball court for a game, visiting science and technology exhibitions...

During this time, Wen Zhinian let loose and completely unleashed her mischievous nature, issuing a challenge.

Even with Hsu Hsiao-chin around, she still let go of the burden of being an older sister.

Xu Xiaojin's ambition came from who knows where.

He frequently joins the battle, clashing with Wen Zhinian.

Luo Chuan was clearly the third party.

Strangely enough, I ended up becoming the middleman.

Often, it acts as a neutral party between the two, becoming a part of their rivalry.

The main issue is that after Wen Zhinian opened up, she seemed to lack a sense of boundaries between men and women, and often had some close contact with Luo Chuan.

Whenever Hsu Hsiao-chin sees a similar situation, she musters up the courage to step in and, blushing, replicates Wen Chi-nian's actions.

Luo Chuan initially couldn't understand the reason for doing this.

It wasn't until Wen Zhinian intensified her contact with him that he suddenly realized what was going on.

It turns out the two of them wanted to use him to provoke each other.

I am also part of the two-person game.

Luo Chuan was so angry he laughed.

You mistook him for a [illegible], didn't you?

Fortunately, the system popped up a reminder.

[50% of the target progress!]

[Under your manipulation, Louis XVI, the woman of destiny gradually becomes aware of her true feelings, thus altering her fate and potentially leading her downfall.]

Why do I feel like you're mocking me?

Ignoring the system and creating mischief.

The relationship between Hsu Hsiao-chin and Wen Chih-nien will obviously not remain as estranged as originally destined.

Once this incident is over, Xu Xiaojin will gain recognition and completely transform herself.

The two will probably reconcile.

Xu Xiaojin will also leave Dark Moon Sword to pursue her past dreams and promises.

Thinking of this, Luo Chuan couldn't help but feel a little lost.

His cheat program is about to expire...

That's what I was thinking.

The referee announced it on the field.

Game start.

……

Wen Zhinian looked at Xu Xiaojin.

Xu Xiaojin had her hair in braids, wore black-rimmed glasses, and a black short skirt uniform. She looked extremely serious.

"Oh dear, even though I said it before, I still have to say it: it was you, Sumire, who didn't keep your promise in the first place."

"I know, that's why I came here to settle our past agreement."

Xu Xiaojin said seriously.

"It's not about going back to the past, but about moving towards the future. Only in this way can I keep up with everyone else."

After spending these days with Wen Zhinian, her thoughts and obsessions have changed.

If she stepped into the ring before to prove herself to Sora.

Now, the reasons are completely different.

She didn't want to disappoint others, nor did she want to lose to Wen Zhinian.

"Oh my, Sumire, you've really grown up a lot. But as you choose to move towards the future, I will follow you into the future."

Wen Zhinian smiled gently, her eyes crinkling.

"By then, we might become competitors."

"...I will never lose to you."

Xu Xiaojin pursed her lips, firmly asserting her sovereignty.

As the starting signal for the match rang out.

Xu Xiaojin was the first to activate her talent.

"Skynet Connection".

Countless steel wires quickly spread across the entire arena.

"That trick won't work on me, Xue!"

Wen Zhinian responded calmly.

The blizzard quickly froze the steel wire.

The steel wire cannot be used to set traps, but the shared sensing still exists.

Xu Xiaojin dodged and weaved through the snow, while simultaneously pulling out several throwing knives from under her skirt and hurling them at Wen Zhinian.

"wind."

Wen Zhinian whispered.

A strong gust of wind erupted from its center.

In an instant, a wind barrier was formed, which not only deflected Xu Xiaojin's throwing knife, but also cut all the steel wires binding the knife.

All of Xu Xiaojin's attacks were easily blocked by Wen Zhinian.

Wen Zhinian's casual strike left Xu Xiaojin in a sorry state.

Anyone with eyes can see that.

Wen Zhinian firmly held the upper hand.

"The gap is too big. Why would Dongcheng University send their substitute player to the finals?"

"It's not that the substitutes are too weak, but that Wen Zhinian is too strong."

The crowd was buzzing with discussion.

Luo Chuan silently watched the game.

Although he helped Xu Xiaojin with special training, he did not devise any tactics for her.

Because this is Xu Xiaojin's own battle.

However, he watched as his own students suffered a setback.

Luo Chuan couldn't take it anymore.

He finally couldn't help but stand up and use his spiritual power to shout towards the arena.

"Hey! Hsu Hsiao-chin! Believe in yourself, not the you I believe in, nor the me you believe in, but the you who believes in yourself!"

Luo Chuan's voice stood out in the noisy audience.

It immediately attracted the attention of many people.

"This guy..."

Ms. Kobayashi shook her head helplessly.

"So he came too?"

The Imperial University also took notice.

Especially Professor Liu, who was one of the teachers leading the team.

He was the one who went to Dongcheng for special recruitment, but was ruthlessly rejected by Luo Chuan. When he heard Luo Chuan's name again, Luo Chuan had already made a name for himself at the Five Schools Exchange Conference.

Therefore, when he learned that Luo Chuan was unable to participate, he felt both relieved and regretful.

Back on the field.

Xu Xiaojin glanced at the audience and met Luo Chuan's eyes.

Luo Chuan's encouragement touched her heart.

It stirred up waves.

Xu Xiaojin was greatly encouraged, and her fighting spirit, which was about to be extinguished, was instantly rekindled.

"Oh my, I'm so envious that someone is cheering you on, Sumire."

Wen Zhinian smiled, feigning composure.

Xiao Ling and her sisters have actually been supporting her all along.

This shows the mutual trust between Hsu Hsiao-chin and Luo Chuan.

I feel like I've lost.

"How annoying..."

The blizzard summoned by Wen Zhinian became increasingly violent.

Xu Xiaojin, having rallied her spirits, did not shy away.

She activated her power again.

Click-clack...

The frozen ice on the ground cracked rapidly.

Bang!

With a loud bang, the ice blocks on the ground shattered into ice shards.

It blocked all view of the ring.

"Wind, blow away the fog!"

Wen Zhinian summons a storm that sweeps across all directions.

The fog was blown away in an instant.

However, Xu Xiaojin was not found.

wrong.

Wen Zhinian immediately looked up.

Xu Xiaojin flew over the tornado and struck the eye of the storm from above.

The distance between the two closed rapidly.

It didn't take long for it to escalate into close-quarters combat.

"Oh, so you're planning to play to your strengths and rely on physical skills to win, Sumire?"

Wen Zhinian saw through Xu Xiaojin's intentions.

Indeed, for the two of them, the difference in physical skills was relatively small.

"Unfortunately, talent itself also affects physical enhancement, and my physical abilities are still superior to yours."

"That's right, but Chinen, you're different from me. You have a major weakness."

Xu Xiaojin and Wen Zhinian were locked in a fierce battle, and she said in an unyielding manner.

"I can roll around on the ground, disregarding my image, and relentlessly pursue you. Can you do that?"

"certainly……"

Wen Zhinian's smile stiffened slightly.

Looking at Xu Xiaojin, whose hair was disheveled and covered in mud, but whose eyes were piercing.

If they were playing privately like they did recently, she could do the same, wrestling and grappling with Xu Xiaojin and even Luo Chuan on the grass.

They can even jump into the river together and splash each other with water.

But in this public setting.

She can't.

Because she has to maintain her image.

"Even if I can't do it, you have to make me beg first."

Wen Zhinian suppressed her smile and unleashed all her power.

"Romantic tales!"

A strong wind blew Xu Xiaojin away.

Flowers bloom in profusion at Wen Zhinian's feet.

The ice and snow danced in the wind, freezing the surrounding air into frost.

The radiant moonlight slowly descended from the sky, draping her in a hazy, dreamlike veil.

This is Wen Zhinian.

The true strength of the third-ranked student at Imperial Capital University.

"I haven't lost yet!"

Xu Xiaojin also exerted all her strength to manipulate the surrounding steel wires.

She threw all thirty-six throwing knives to the limit of what she could control.

Crackling sounds!

All the throwing knives were instantly knocked away by the wind barrier.

However, after being pulled to its limit, the flying knife bounced back towards the wind barrier.

And its power grew stronger with each iteration.

Wen Zhinian's eyes widened.

"This is... an elastic band?"

"Compared to rigid steel wire, elastic bands that combine toughness and elasticity are more suitable for me."

Xu Xiaojin said with high spirits.

This was the advice Luo Chuan gave her during his special training.

Her Skynet lacks speed, but is extremely manipulable.

Instead of using steel wire, use rubber bands. The netting compensates for the wire's fragility, and the elasticity of the rubber bands stores energy, which is then released in one burst.

Even the elastic bands she's using now were made for her by Luo Chuan using a special technique.

"This is the result of all my hard work!"

Xu Xiaojin combined the thirty-six throwing knives into a sharp cone.

It slammed into Wen Zhinian.

boo.

The swirling snow was finally pierced by the sharp awl.

Although the throwing knife also lost its potential energy at the same time.

However, Xu Xiaojin herself was ejected by the reaction force.

In the blink of an eye, he rushed to Wen Zhinian's side.

He grabbed the other person and hugged them tightly.

The two embraced and flew off the stage.

"..."

Wen Zhinian stared at the dirty Xu Xiaojin.

At this moment, Xu Xiaojin, who had given her all, seemed so dazzling.

"Sister, I'm completely defeated by you."

She smiled slightly.

A gentle breeze was blowing.

The two of them landed lightly on the ground.

……

"A draw? Not bad."

A relieved smile appeared on Luo Chuan's lips.

[80% of the target progress!]

[Under your smooth-talking persuasion, the woman of destiny puts an end to her past and reconciles with her childhood friend, but is only one step away from complete corruption.]

"Why are we still one step away?"

Luo Chuan raised an eyebrow.

He understood after a moment's thought.

Hsu Hsiao-chin's wish is to become the best hunter partner with Wen Chih-nien.

The final step is simply to let her leave the Darkmoon Sword.

I came to the capital to reunite with Wen Zhinian.

"Very good, Xu Xiaojin's personal storyline is now complete."

Luo Chuan nodded seriously.

He immediately curled the corners of his mouth into a smile.

"Now, it's my turn."
