It's so hard being a hero!

Sophia listened absentmindedly to this magic theory lesson.

The main problem was that the clothes made her very uncomfortable.

The top, being a suit style, was very form-fitting and felt very restrictive, not to mention sitting on a cold chair without pants.

However, she was a man who had served under Lilith for three months, so she tolerated it for a mere dress.

Soon, the bell rang, signaling the end of get out of class.

The middle-aged male teacher said, "That's all for today's class," and then left.

They showed no intention of going overtime at all.

As soon as the teacher left, the classroom instantly became lively.

Sophia was just about to go back to her dorm when, before she could even stand up, a dozen figures surrounded her.

"Sophia, Sophia, you just said you're Bronze level? Really?"

"Where did you learn magic before?"

The questions came at her like a machine gun. Before Sofia could answer, someone reached out and touched her hair, someone leaned in to look into her eyes, and someone even pinched her arm.

Sofia froze in her seat, her polite smile almost bursting from her face.

She had never enjoyed this kind of treatment in her previous life at the academy.

Back then, although he was not bad-looking, he was a boy after all. At most, a few female classmates would occasionally pass him notes or something. But this was nothing like the scene before him, with seven or eight girls surrounding him, touching and looking at him without any hesitation.

"Um, everyone, it's me."

Sofia wanted to find an excuse to slip away.

But before she could finish speaking, a blue-haired girl with pigtails took her arm and looked at her with bright, sparkling eyes.

"Sophia, come with us to the dormitory area. You're new to the college and probably don't know your way around. We'll show you."

"Yeah, yeah, our dorm area is huge, it's easy to get lost the first time you go there."

"We're heading back anyway."

They didn't give Sophia a chance to refuse. Several girls supported her on either side, while others surrounded her from all sides, escorting her out of the classroom like they were protecting some important person.

Sophia was pulled out by a group of people. She glanced back at the classroom and saw the male students from her class standing there, their faces showing an expression of "wanting to talk but unable to get a word in edgewise".

The brown-haired boy, Luke, reached out as if to call her back, but seeing the group of girls surrounding her, he silently withdrew his hand and muttered something to his companion beside him.

"At least let us say a few words."

"Yes, I also want to talk to her, she's really beautiful."

The boys looked disappointed.

As for those who were older, such as fifteen or sixteen years old or above, they seemed quite calm.

After all, they are grown men and have little interest in young girls.

Sophia was led out of the teaching building by the girl in the dress, across a stone path, and past a circular fountain square before arriving at a group of buildings.

The building was a magnificent castle-like structure with gray stone walls, pointed towers, and stained glass windows.

"This is our dormitory."

The blue-haired girl with twin ponytails released Sophia's arm and opened her arms to introduce the castle-like building.

"It looks impressive from the outside, but it's even more impressive inside."

Sophia looked up at the building, her expression somewhat subtle.

In her previous life, she lived in the adjacent boys' dormitory area, on the other side, with a similar layout, but she never stepped into the girls' dormitory area.

After all, although she was a bit immature at times, she still knew the basic differences between men and women.

Unexpectedly, in this life, she would actually be walking through this door as a guest.

"Come on, come on, we'll show you around."

The girl with pigtails took her hand and walked towards the door.

The others followed suit, chattering away about the layout of the dormitory area's facilities.

Upon entering the gate, you are greeted by a warm breeze carrying the fragrance of flowers.

The dormitory is much more spacious inside than it appears from the outside. In the center is a high-ceilinged circular hall with a huge skylight overhead. Sunlight streams through the stained glass, giving it a lecture hall feel.

Several corridors are distributed around the hall, leading to different dormitory areas.

The walls are decorated with paintings and historical photos of the college, and there are rows of sofas and benches in the corners for students to rest and chat.

But what made Sophia's eyes twitch the most was the students coming and going in front of her.

The girls' dormitory was bustling with activity. Many students had just returned from class, some wearing the same school uniforms as the girls, while others had changed into casual clothes, moving about in the corridors and public areas.

Some had just finished showering, their hair still wet and draped over their shoulders, wearing only a thin nightgown as they carried basins from the other end of the corridor.

Some sat in twos and threes on the sofas in the lobby, chatting with their legs crossed, their white legs showing under their short skirts.

There was also a girl who had just finished exercising, wearing only shorts and a tank top, wiping the sweat off her neck with a towel. She waved to the girl with pigtails as she passed by them.

"Hey, Lilia, you're back? That's a new face. Did you get a new student in your class today?"

"Yes."

The twin-tailed girl named Lilia waved at her.

"Hehe, what an amazing new classmate! Our Class 3 will have a monster from now on."

Sophia looked away, trying to keep her expression normal.

She's lived two lives, after all; what storms haven't she weathered?

I saw much more exciting scenes back in the day at the border of the Demon Realm. What's a mere girls' dormitory compared to that?

Besides, she is a girl, so it's not a problem for people to dress more revealingly in front of her.

She understood the reasoning, but her face still flushed slightly.

"Come on, let me show you your room first."

Lilia took her arm and walked along the left-hand corridor, finally stopping at the corner on the third floor.

Neat rows of dark brown wooden doors lined both sides of the corridor, each with a number plate embedded in it.

"Alright, this should be your place."

Sophia took out her key and opened the door.

The space inside is only slightly larger than the dormitory at Earth University, and it's decorated with great care.

Anyway, it has everything it should have.

The whole room was bright and didn't feel cramped or oppressive like a closed space.

Upon seeing this scene, Sophia couldn't help but mentally complain, because in her previous life, the main place in her school was a four-person dormitory, which was even smaller.

That's normal, though, since there are more boys.

She went inside, placed her textbooks and school uniform on the desk by the window, and glanced back at the crowd still standing at the door.

"Alright, you don't need to stay with me all the time."

"That won't do,"

Lilia was the first to object, skipping and hopping in, plopping down on the empty bed and patting the mattress next to her.

"It's your first day at the college, so there must be a lot you don't understand. Of course we want to keep you company. Besides, your roommate hasn't arrived yet, so it must be so boring to be alone."

Several girls nearby echoed this sentiment.

"Yes, yes, let us show you around."

"There's a small grove of trees behind the dormitory area; it's so beautiful."

"The food in the cafeteria is pretty good. Shall we have dinner together tonight?"

Looking at their enthusiastic, glowing eyes, Sophia's initial awkwardness of being surrounded by a group of young girls had actually faded considerably along the way.

These girls' enthusiasm is genuine and selfless; it's simply a feeling of closeness that arises from liking you.

To be honest, it's pretty good.

"alright."

Sofia finally relented, a genuine smile appearing on her lips.

"Then I'll trouble you to lead the way."

"No trouble at all."

Lily sprang out of bed, took her arms on either side, and led her outside as if she were protecting some precious treasure.

Several girls gathered around her. Some helped her close the door, some cleared the way ahead, and some turned around and smiled at her, their round faces beaming with undisguised affection.

As Sophia walked among them, she suddenly realized that being reborn as a girl wasn't so bad after all.

At the same time, in the Duke's Mansion in the capital, a thousand miles away.

The magic mirror in front of Frey had turned into an ordinary mirror; no matter how much magic she poured into it, it could only reflect her own face.

Frey put down her teacup and tapped her fingers lightly twice on the armrest of the chair.

Tianxing Academy is covered by an ancient magical barrier, said to have been personally set up by a demigod, and no Saint-level expert can penetrate it with any spying magic.

Frey certainly knew this.

She was just a little annoyed.

Chapter 82 A Conversation Between Two Women

Sophia was dragged around the dormitory area by Lilia and the others, from the cafeteria to the library, from the training ground to the small woods behind the mountain, they explored almost every place in the entire academy.

The girls' enthusiasm was almost overwhelming for her.

She had intended to go back to her dorm to rest, but she was dragged to dinner and then chatted idly in the common room for over an hour before finally managing to escape back to her room.

After closing the door, Sophia let out a long breath, flopped onto the bed, and stared blankly at the ceiling.
