The shuttle in the second dimension

　"Is that so—" Stella's originally tense face relaxed a little, revealing a faint smile.

　"Honestly, I never thought I'd encounter such a pervert just this short time after arriving in this country. I almost hated this country. I was planning to make it an international issue, but thanks to you, I've changed my mind a little. As long as you commit seppuku, I'll forgive you."

　Seeing Stella, my princess, smiling and saying such incredible words, Lin Xuan raised his eyebrows and said helplessly, "Princess Stella, I think you have misunderstood something. I am not a citizen of this country, so you don't need to hate this country because of this matter. I am also an international student like you, but I am an international student from the Celestial Empire. As for what you said before about turning this matter into an international issue, I advise you to give up. After all, this is not a good thing for either Famiglia of the [Alliance] or the Celestial Empire of the [Alliance], right? As for seppuku, I'm sorry, I am not used to using this behavior to apologize, so can we solve this problem calmly?"

　Although Stella had devoted her life to becoming a powerful magic knight, that didn't mean she was completely ignorant of political matters. After Lin Xuan revealed his identity, Stella knew she couldn't make it an international issue. She hadn't intended to do so from the start, having only done it to scare Lin Xuan. Even so, Stella didn't want to let go of Lin Xuan, who was peeking at her half-naked self.

　"Calm down!?" At this time, Stella's words began to carry a little anger, "You tarnished the innocence of the unmarried princess, and you still want to resolve it calmly!?"

　As soon as she finished speaking, Stella got angry, really angry. The air around her body began to emit astonishing heat, and phosphorescence began to scatter.

　"Hey, hey, hey, classmate Stella, you don't want to start a fight in the office, do you?" Looking at Stella who started fighting after a disagreement, Lin Xuan felt deeply powerless. Is this girl just not going to listen to anyone?! ? ?

　"What a hassle—" Scratching his head helplessly, Lin Xuan said, "Student Stella, I think I told you before that I didn't break into your dormitory, but that dormitory is indeed the one the academy arranged for me. So, before you get angry, can you sort things out first?"

　"Eh!?" Lin Xuan's words made Stella stunned for a moment. At this time, she remembered that Lin Xuan had said something similar to her in the dormitory before, saying that the dormitory was his, but she was too excited at that time and didn't listen.

　At this moment, Shinguji Kurono, who had been sitting in silence watching the show, said, "Sorry, sorry, I forgot to tell you that since the dormitories at [Pojun Academy] are double rooms, Stella-san and Lin Xuan-san didn't break into your dormitory. He just entered his own dormitory. In other words, you two will be roommates from now on."

　"Ehhhhhhhhhhh!!!!! Why do I have to be roommates with this pervert!!" Stella shouted, staring at Shinguji Kurono with wide eyes.

　"Hey, hey, hey, I'm not a pervert~~~"

　Unfortunately, Lin Xuan’s protest was not accepted by a certain princess.

　"What's wrong, Stella? Is there something wrong?" Looking at Stella's stunned look, Shinguji Kurono asked with a smile.

　“This is a huge problem!!”

　"Then swallow the question, Stella." Unmoved by Stella, Shinguji Kurono said slightly seriously, "My educational policy is completely merit-based. Because in recent years, [Pojun Academy] has been completely incomparable to the other six actual schools, so in order to revitalize [Pojun Academy], the academy's dormitory allocation will ignore seat numbers and gender. As long as the strength is similar, they will be arranged in the same dormitory. This is to arouse students' sense of competition." As he said, Shinguji Kurono glanced at Lin Xuan and continued.

　"Student Stella, you won first place with excellent grades. The only person who could share a dormitory with you, a first-place finisher, is the second-place finisher, Lin Xuan, who isn't much behind you."

Chapter 1 Simulation Battle

　"Student Stella, do you understand now?"

　"How can I possibly understand?!" Stella protested in dissatisfaction, slamming her hands hard on the desk in front of the chairman.

　"To actually let a man and a woman of our age be in the same room together, this is so utterly lacking in common sense. What if, and I'm just saying if, what if something irreparable goes wrong?!?"

　"Oh? An irreparable mistake~~~~What kind of mistake is it? I really want to know~~~" Shinguji Kurono narrowed her eyes and asked back, as if she had found a new target for teasing.

　It wouldn't be a big deal if you didn't ask, but once you did, problems arose. Princess Stella was so embarrassed that her face was as red as a ripe apple. It looked like she would faint if she was stimulated any further.

　"Chairman, if you keep teasing her, the princess will faint~~~" Looking at Stella with a red face, Lin Xuan shook his head and came to her rescue.

　"Lin Xuan, I didn't tease Stella at all. I was just joking." After saying that, Shinguji Kurono became a little serious, getting rid of her previous playful look.

　"Anyway, this matter has been settled. Furthermore, you're not the only ones living in the same dormitory. If everyone protests like this, how can I continue with my educational policy? Famiglia, even if you're a princess, you won't receive any special treatment. If you're truly dissatisfied, then simply drop out."

　"!!" After hearing about the expulsion, Stella's heart trembled, then she lowered her head and remained silent for a while. Finally, as if she had made a decision, she raised her head and said.

　"I understand, but..." Stella turned around and looked at Lin Xuan, who had been standing and watching the show since just now, raised three fingers and said.

　"—I have three conditions."

　"Hey, hey, hey, you are not going to ask for any excessive conditions, are you~~~" Lin Xuan said with a twitch of his lips. He knew what conditions the princess had proposed in the original book.

　"My conditions are all easy for you to fulfill." Looking at Lin Xuan with a smile, Stella stated her conditions: "First, don't talk to me; second, don't open your eyes; third, don't breathe."

　Regarding Stella's conditions, Lin Xuan looked as if he knew it all. "Chairman, do you think this condition can be easily fulfilled?"

　"Hehe~~~ Classmate Lin Xuan, this is a matter between your dormitories, I can't interfere~~~" As she said this, Shinguji Kurono still looked like she was watching a show, and had no intention of helping Lin Xuan at all.

　"Forget it, it's pointless to ask you." Lin Xuan curled his lips and looked at Stella, "Student Stella, how about this, instead of arguing about the dormitory rules here, why don't we have a mock battle, and the winner will decide what the dormitory rules are. Of course, they are not excessive rules."

　"A fair duel, where the loser submits to the winner, is a good solution. What do you think, Famiglian?" Shinguji Kurono asked Stella. In fact, she had also wanted to propose such a solution. She wanted to see how strong these two international students were.

　"I agree." Stella looked at Lin Xuan and said, "If you lose, don't deny it."

　"Don't worry, I still have some responsibilities." As he said that, Lin Xuan looked at Shinguji Kurono and asked, "Chairman, can you help us prepare a venue?"

　"No problem, you can use the third training ground. I'll give you permission."

　"In that case, I'll go warm up a bit." With that, Lin Xuan turned and left. However, when he reached the door, he stopped, turned his head slightly, and said to Stella, "I hope you won't let me down, Stella Familion." Then, Lin Xuan left, leaving behind Shinguji Kurono with a playful look on her face and Stella with an angry expression.

　As soon as he walked out of the chairman's office, Lin Xuan saw Dao Hua waiting outside the door. "I'm sorry, Dao Hua, for keeping you waiting for so long."

　"It's okay." Dao Hua looked at Lin Xuan strangely. "I didn't expect that you would encounter such a thing on your first day at school."

　"I didn't expect that~~" Lin Xuan sighed, rolling his eyes.

　"How was the matter resolved in the end?" Dao Hua asked curiously after hearing Lin Xuan's sigh.

　Seeing Dao Hua's curious look, Lin Xuan told her what happened in the chairman's office.

　"Then if you lose, won't Stella be the one to set the dormitory rules?" Dao Hua asked worriedly, frowning slightly.

　"Don't worry, although her admission score is higher than mine, grades don't represent ability~~~"

　-

　There are several dome-shaped arenas scattered throughout the Pojun Academy, and the third training ground is one of them.

　At this time, Lin Xuan and Stella, who had changed into the [Pojun Academy] uniforms, appeared in the center of the training ground, and the referee Shinguji Kurono stood between them.

　There were thirty or forty people in the audience, mostly sophomores and juniors. Some were already training independently in the training grounds, while others had heard the news and came to watch the match. After all, the two opponents were both international students, and were also the top two freshmen in their admission scores.

　Dao Hua, who was sitting in the audience, looked at Lin Xuan with some worry. Although Lin Xuan vowed that he would not lose and asked her not to worry, his opponent was not an ordinary character after all. But out of trust in Lin Xuan, she suppressed her worries and calmed down to watch the upcoming duel.

　Although there weren't many people in the audience, there were still quite a few students discussing Lin Xuan and Stella. Lin Xuan simply ignored the noisy discussions. At this moment, his attention was entirely on his opponent, Stella Familion.

　At this moment, the referee, Kurono Shinguji, announced, "The mock battle will now begin. Both of you, please deploy your inherent spiritual equipment in [Fantasy Form]!"

　"Come out——[Destroy]"

　"Come and serve me, [Fei Long Guilty Sword]"

　[Fantasy Form] The inherent spiritual equipment of this form does not deal physical damage, but instead uses magic power to directly reduce the opponent's physical strength, leaving them unable to fight again.

　After the two of them each summoned their own inherent spiritual equipment, Shinguji Kurono looked at them expectantly and shouted.

　"Then, let's go ahead (start the battle)!"

Chapter 2 Simulation Battle

　"Then, let's go ahead (start the battle)!"

　"Haaaah!!"

　When the battle signal sounded, Stella rushed towards Lin Xuan and swung down the entanglement (hx).

　Although the slash emitted a terrifying high temperature, it was ultimately just a simple slash, and the trajectory of the slash could be easily seen.

　However, although he saw the trajectory of Stella's slash clearly, Lin Xuan did not take the slash head-on. Instead, he quickly took a step back the moment the slash fell, causing the fierce slash to hit the floor where Lin Xuan was originally standing.

　The next moment, the entire third training ground began to tremble as if an earthquake was coming.

　"The sword's power is great, but too dispersed." Looking at the several cracks on the ground where Stella's slash landed, Lin Xuan commented on Stella's slash in his heart.

　"What? You don't even dare to take my attack? I really doubt how you got the second place." 14 seemed to disdain Lin Xuan's behavior of not daring to take her own attack, and Stella sneered.

　"If you want to think so, there's nothing we can do, Stella." As soon as the words fell, Lin Xuan's figure instantly appeared in front of Stella, and the [Destruction] in his hand was instantly swung out, turning into a slash that was invisible to the naked eye, and slashed towards Stella.

　"So fast!" As Lin Xuan appeared before her, Stella hastily raised the [Feilong Zui Sword] in her hand. Then, she felt a strong force coming from the sword wound in her hand, causing her hand to numb as she hastily resisted. However, this wasn't the most frightening part for Stella. The most frightening thing for her was that she couldn't even see the slashing blow from Lin Xuan.

　However, this was just the beginning. As soon as the first slash ended, Lin Xuan's right hand holding the knife continued to move, and the [Destroy] in his hand also moved.

　The next moment, the whistling sound of the blade tearing through the air reached Stella's ears, which made Stella, who had just hastily blocked Lin Xuan's first slash, change her face. When she heard the whistling sound, Stella found that she still could not see Lin Xuan's slash clearly, and she could only rely on her own feelings to resist.

　In just a short while, Lin Xuan had already launched dozens of slashing blows, and these dozens of slashing blows made Stella's defense very awkward. If the [Destruction] in Lin Xuan's hand was not deployed in [Fantasy Form] at this time, Stella would probably have more than ten or twenty knife wounds on her body. But even so, Stella had lost a lot of physical strength as well as Lin Xuan, and she had already started to breathe a little.

　After exchanging dozens of blows with Lin Xuan, Stella realized she was completely outmatched in swordsmanship. Furthermore, his sword was incredibly sharp, and her protective [Feilong Yuyi] was like a thin layer of paper before his blade, shattering in a single stroke. Therefore, to escape her current disadvantage, she had no choice but to rely on other means.

　Then, just when Lin Xuan wanted to attack Stella further, a burst of scorching flames suddenly erupted from Stella's body, and the area around her instantly turned into a sea of ​​fire.

　"Are you trying to force me away?" Lin Xuan whispered, and quickly retreated behind him, away from Stella who was in the center of the sea of ​​fire.

　On the other side, in the audience

　Shinguji Kurono looked at Stella, who was in the center of the sea of ​​fire, and commented, "That's a wise choice~~~ She knew she was no match for her in close combat, so she tried to force her away first, giving herself a chance to breathe."

　At this time, a young man in the uniform of [Pojun Academy] walked behind Shinguji Kurono and leaned against the guardrail to carefully watch the duel between Lin Xuan and Stella. "Yes, that princess really made a wise choice."

　"Oh~~~ Kurogane, you are here to watch the competition too." Glancing at the young man behind him, Shinguji Kurono raised his eyebrows and said.

　"After all, they may very well be the enemies that stand in my way to graduation, and I don't want to know nothing about my enemies." As he said that, the young man, no, Ikki Kurogane looked at Lin Xuan on the training ground with a serious expression.

　"That classmate Lin Xuan from the Celestial Empire is really strong. In terms of martial arts, that classmate Stella is no match for him at all."

　"Yes, so if Her Royal Highness wants to win, she'll have to do it through other means."

　"Oh~~~ Xiao Hei, how could you not tell me such a thing~~" At some point, a petite woman appeared next to Kurogane Ikki. The woman spoke casually while casting a serious look towards the training ground.

　"You'll definitely find out on your own, right?" said Shinguji Kurono, not caring about the woman who suddenly appeared behind her.

　"That's right~~~ However, that student from China is really not simple~~~~ Whether it's the control of his body or his magic power, he has reached a very high level. He uses the least force to swing the strongest slash, and uses the least magic power to exert the greatest power." Waving the fan in her hand, the petite woman murmured, "This doesn't seem like a freshman at all~~~~"

　The scene switches to the training ground

　Looking at Stella in the sea of ​​fire, Lin Xuan raised his eyebrows slightly, because he felt that the huge magic power in Stella's body was boiling. In this regard, Lin Xuan not only did not think about how to stop it, but stood still and watched Stella in the sea of ​​fire.

　"The flames of purgatory pierce the sky..."

　Stella raised the [Feilong Zui Sword] in her hand, and then the sea of ​​fire that occupied most of the training ground began to boil. At the same time, the sea of ​​fire seemed to have received some order and began to shrink rapidly. In the blink of an eye, the sea of ​​fire emitting scorching heat condensed on the [Feilong Zui Sword], forming a pillar of flame that directly penetrated the roof of the training ground.

　“Hey, hey, hey——W-What is this?!?”

　"Should I be so exaggerated... Is she really a human like us...?"

　When the pillar of fire appeared, dozens of words of shock were heard from the audience.

　It’s no wonder that they were so shocked. A blade of light that was a hundred meters long was indeed shocking enough, but Lin Xuan was not among those shocked.

　Looking at the blade of light, Lin Xuan felt not only no shock but also a bit of disappointment. "As expected, she's still too immature right now. She hasn't even figured out her own strength yet, so how strong can we expect her to be~~~"

　Just as Lin Xuan finished his murmur, the huge blade of light fell towards Lin Xuan.
