The shuttle in the second dimension

　Although there were some flaws, Lin Xuan was tactful enough not to say anything. While Lin Xuan was enjoying Stella's back rub, Stella carefully observed the crisscrossing scars on Lin Xuan's body while rubbing his back.

　It wasn't the first time Stella had seen those scars, but it was the first time she had observed them so closely. However, at this moment, Lin Xuan, who had noticed Stella's actions, spoke.

　"What's so good about those ugly scars?"

　"Since you think they are ugly, why do you keep them? With current medical technology, it is entirely possible to remove them all." Stella's tone of voice was a little low, perhaps because of Lin Xuan's scars.

　"Why leave them behind~~~~" Lin Xuan lowered his head and looked at the ugly scars crisscrossing his body. He said as if in self-mockery, "That's to remind myself all the time that I'm not strong enough, to remind myself that there are still people in this world who can kill me, to remind myself to become stronger, so strong that no one can hurt me."

　Stella "..."

　Listening to Lin Xuan's words, Stella fell into silence. Stella found that she understood the man sitting in front of her less and less, and she also found that she wanted to know more about this man.

　——The dividing line of the second day——

　On the training ground, two swords wrapped in magic power collided with each other. Each collision caused the two different magic powers to react violently, forming a magical glow as brilliant as sparks.

　However, one of the two swords was made of wood and the other was made of iron. It was hard to imagine that with such a huge difference in material, the two swords could collide so violently. Even the one holding the wooden sword suppressed the one holding the iron sword. This was enough to show how big the gap in strength between the two sides was.

　The people on the training ground were none other than Lin Xuan and Stella, while on the other side, Zhu Shizuku and the others, as spectators outside the training ground, were carefully observing the fierce confrontation on the training ground.

　Different people saw different things from this duel. For example, Ikki Kurogane saw Lin Xuan's vigorous and powerful swordsmanship that gave people a great sense of pressure, while Zhu Shizuku saw Lin Xuan's delicate control of magic.

　As for Stella, who had personally experienced Lin Xuan's swordsmanship and delicate magic control, she did not have the time to observe Lin Xuan like Zhu Shizuku and Kurogane Ikki. Lin Xuan's sword forced her to have no chance to even think. When her eyes could no longer clearly capture the sword in Lin Xuan's hand, Stella could only swing the sword based on her own feelings. As a result, she had many small wounds on her body.

　Although Stella had been trying her best to resist Lin Xuan's attacks, she was defeated after a while.

　"Hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo!" Stella panted as she wiped the sweat from her forehead with a towel. It seemed the training had consumed a lot of her energy. Lin Xuan, on the other hand, was in much better shape, as if he had just been doing a pre-match warm-up.

　After Stella went off the court to rest, Lin Xuan still felt a little unsatisfied. Then, he turned his attention to Ikki Kurogane who was watching the game.

　And when Lin Xuan's gaze fell on Kurogane Ikki, Kurogane Ikki also felt Lin Xuan's undisguised gaze.

　Seeing Lin Xuan's eyes that seemed to invite him to fight, Kurogane Ikki also had the urge to fight him. Being able to fight with an opponent with superb skills was something Kurogane Ikki really wanted.

　"Heitie, let's practice together." As he spoke, a black flame ignited in Lin Xuan's hand, and then [Destruction] appeared from the flame.

　"I couldn't ask for more." Jumping onto the training ground, Ikki Kurogane also summoned his inherent spiritual outfit [Yin Iron].

　The next moment, the knives and swords in the hands of the two men collided with each other.

　Although the competition between Lin Xuan and Kurogane Ikki in swordsmanship and swordsmanship did not burst out with the brilliant magical light like the previous battle, the sparks produced by the collision between the sword and the knife were even more eye-catching.

　Because neither of them used magic to enhance their physical strength, the speed at which Lin Xuan and Kurogane Ikki swung their swords and returned was still within an acceptable range.

　As time went on, the battle between the two grew more intense, their physical exhaustion increasing, until, at the end, they separated, both panting heavily. Afterward, the two did not fight to determine the winner, but rather to a point. Even so, this battle left Ikki Kurogane feeling an indescribable sense of exhilaration.

　After the fight just now, Kurogane Ikki felt that his swordsmanship had subtly improved, and this achievement made him extremely satisfied. However, the only drawback was that he always had a feeling that Lin Xuan was not using his full strength. However, seeing Lin Xuan's breathless appearance, he could only suppress that feeling in his heart.

　Just as Kurogane Ikki had said, Lin Xuan hadn't used his full strength. He wanted to accelerate Kurogane Ikki's growth by competing with him. He wanted to see for himself what it was like to enter the realm of the demon. However, even though he hadn't used his full strength, Lin Xuan's breathless appearance wasn't entirely fake. Even Lin Xuan would tire after a while if he relied solely on his physical strength to swing his sword.

　"It's been a long time since I swung my sword so freely. It seems I'll have to practice with you more in the future, Black Iron." Lin Xuan wiped the sweat from his forehead, with a hint of excitement on his face.

　"My pleasure." Although he had doubts about whether Lin Xuan would use his full strength, he was very happy to practice with Lin Xuan. After all, a battle of this intensity would greatly help his strength. How could he refuse such an opportunity?

　On the other side, when she saw the smiles on Lin Xuan and Kurogane Ikki's faces, a hint of joy appeared on Zhu Shizuku's face. She was really happy that the two people she cared about could get along so harmoniously.

Chapter 120

　Lin Xuan took the sports drink thrown by Stella and drank it immediately.

　"Well, today's training ends here. How about we go back and wash up and go out for a walk? I've been in school for a few days, and I haven't been around for a walk yet~~~" After replacing the lid of the water cup, Lin Xuan suddenly suggested.

　"Let's go out for a walk!" Lin Xuan's suggestion surprised Stella and the others.

　"Yes, although improving strength is very important, proper relaxation is also essential." Lin Xuan looked at Zhu Shi and said with a smile, "It's a good opportunity for you to call your roommate over so we can get to know each other."

　"Okay, I think Alice will be happy to meet you too."

　"So what do you think? Stella, Black Iron." Although he thought they would not refuse, Lin Xuan still asked.

　"sure."

　"I have no opinion."

　As expected, both of them said there was no problem at all.

　"Then see you at the school gate in an hour."

　"Ok."

　"no problem."

　-

　Half lying on the bed, Lin Xuan looked at Stella who was constantly choosing clothes in front of the wardrobe and couldn't help but remind her, "You have already spent quite a while choosing, plus the time for taking a shower, there is not much time left now. Hurry up, we can't let them wait for us, right?"

　"Wait, it will be ready soon." After being reminded by Lin Xuan, Stella suddenly became a little impatient.

　"I say, is it really necessary? Don't you look good in anything you wear? Do you have to choose so carefully?" Seeing Stella becoming a little impatient, Lin Xuan sighed helplessly and said.

　"Eh!?" Stella was no longer impatient after being suddenly praised by Lin Xuan, but became shy instead.

　"Although I wanted to give you more time to choose, almost fifty minutes have passed. If you can't find what you want, just pick one you like." Lin Xuan said, glancing at the clock on the wall.

　Glancing at the clock on the wall, Stella knew that she had little time left, so she muttered, "I know~~

　In the end, Stella picked out a set of clothes she liked with only a few minutes left in the one-hour deadline.

　·ǚ

　"Because of Stella's previous delay, when Lin Xuan and the others arrived, they saw three figures waiting for them at the school gate. They were Zhuzhi and the other two.

　When Lin Xuan saw Zhu Shizu, he was truly stunned by her appearance. Her Gothic Lolita outfit perfectly accentuated her smooth silver hair and petite frame, seemingly showcasing her most beautiful side. She had on makeup, with subtle eyeshadow and a translucent pink lipstick that accentuated her already delicate features, further shading any childishness from her, revealing a feminine charm.

　"That's too despicable! That makeup was obviously done by a professional. Did you hire a fashion designer to help you?!" Stella shouted before Lin Xuan could make any comment on Zhu Shizuku.

　"I'm not the princess, how could I do such a thing? I just asked my roommate to help me put on makeup." As if she was very satisfied with Stella's surprised look, Zhu Shizuku made a victory gesture to the roommate she mentioned standing next to her, and said to her with a little pride.

　After Shizuku's comment, Stella noticed the person standing next to her. She'd heard about her roommate from both Shizuku and Lin Xuan. Before she'd even met her mysterious roommate, Arisuin, she'd imagined her as a caring older sister, but reality and ideals are always different. When Stella saw her roommate, the mysterious Arisuin, she was stunned.

　"Eh!? Why is it a man? ? ? Did I see the wrong person?!" Looking at Arisuin, who was clearly a man, Stella's mind was in a state of confusion. If she were to be described using an anime character, she would probably have several huge question marks on her head.

　Looking at Stella's surprised and confused expression, Kurogane Ikki gave a look that said, "I knew it." In fact, he had also been frightened by this Arisuin. After all, this person's appearance was quite different from the one described by Shizuku...

　Lin Xuan was not as surprised as Stella and the others. After all, he knew the details of this mysterious Youqiyuan. However, he still widened his eyes slightly and acted surprised.

　"Nice to meet you. Thank you for inviting me here today. I'm Shizuku's roommate, Nagi Arisuin. However, I really hate being called by my name, so I hope you can call me Alice."

　Arisuin Nagi, or let's call her Alice, was dressed like Shushizuku, mainly in plain colors. Apart from his slightly feminine tone, his behavior was still very gentlemanly. He had a hearty smile on his face and extended his hand to Lin Xuan and Stella in a friendly manner.

　“Please, please give me some advice.” Although she was forcing herself to adapt, Stella still looked a little shaken.

　As for Lin Xuan, he seemed relatively calm. He stretched out his hand to shake hands with Alice and spoke calmly.

　"Please advise me, Alice."

　However, after the handshake, Lin Xuan seemed to sense something. When he turned around, he saw Stella 0.1's eyes filled with astonishment and confusion. From her eyes, Lin Xuan could read the general meaning - "What is going on? His behavior is very girly~~~ Is he teasing me? I should be laughing now."

　In response to Stella's look, Lin Xuan could only respond with a helpless look. At this time, Alice's words rang out, interrupting their thoughts.

　"Shizuku, look, they're confused by my beauty~~~~"

　Even Lin Xuan couldn't help but complain when he heard Alice's words full of positivity and optimism.

　"How do you know we're confused by your beauty?!"

Chapter 121

　"How do you know we're confused by your beauty?!"

　Logically speaking, Lin Xuan, who already knew Alice's personality, should have gotten used to it, but after all, they hadn't seen each other for a while, so Lin Xuan became a little uncomfortable with Alice's personality.

　"Um, classmate Alice?" Stella asked, seeming to be unable to hold back the doubts in her heart.

　"Don't add classmates~~~ I really hate that kind of restrained feeling~~~~~"

　Hearing the feminine tone, Stella pulled the corners of her mouth somewhat forcefully, "——Alice——is she a shemale?"

　"No, I'm not. I'm a girl. I just happen to have a man's body."

　However, in response to Alice's answer, Stella looked at Lin Xuan in confusion, as if asking him, "What's the difference?"

　"Don't ask me, how would I know?" Lin Xuan curled his lips and gave Stella a look.

　"Are you really confused?" As if she had known it for a long time, Zhu Shizuku was not surprised at all by the strange looks on Stella and the others' faces.

　"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhh~~ I know there are people like this, but this is the first time I've actually met one, so I'm a little unsure how to get along with them~~ Sorry."

　"It's okay~~~ I'm used to it~~~~ But Shizuku doesn't feel weird at all~~~~"

　"I don't care much about other people's gender. After all, I hate all humans equally. See 1 Mao 2 Lines 3 Chinese website." After saying this, Zhu Shizuku glanced at Alice and continued, "Although Alice is not a common type, I hope to treat him as a woman. I do the same. If possible, I hope that brother, Lin Xuan, and Stella can also treat him as a woman..."

　"understood."

　"I understand."

　"I will work hard."

　Of course, Lin Xuan and the other two would not refuse Zhuzhi's request.

　"Thank you~~~ But don't force it~~~~ I don't want it to be too awkward for everyone to get along with each other~~~~" Although everyone agreed, Alice still prepared the steps for them. If it weren't for the man's body, he could really be a caring big sister.

　·g

　"Okay, it's getting late, we should leave." Although he didn't mind Stacey dragging them to continue chatting with Alice, Lin Xuan couldn't let them continue chatting and delay their original plan, so he reminded them.

　"Well, let's go." The first one to respond to Lin Xuan was Zhu Shizu. She trotted to Lin Xuan and hugged his arm. They looked like a close couple.

　"You! What are you doing!!" After seeing Zhu Shizu holding Lin Xuan's arm, Stella immediately got furious and shouted angrily. It looked like she wanted to pull Zhu Shizu away from Lin Xuan.

　But in response to Stella's angry look, Zhu Shizuku just smiled coldly. "What for? Isn't it obvious? As we've known each other since childhood, there's nothing wrong with being a little closer~~~~Stella-san."

　"In that case, then I will also--" Before Stella could finish her words, Zhu Shizuku interrupted her.

　"Student Stella, are you still trying to use the excuse of being roommates? We've only known each other for a few days, and yet you're acting so intimately? How shameless! Are all members of the Famiglian royal family like this?"

　"No way!! The Famiglian royal family is not shameless!" After refuting Shizuku's words, Shizuku continued before Stella could start to fight back.

　"In that case, Stella, don't get close to Lin Xuan." After saying that, Zhu Shizuku hugged Lin Xuan's arms even tighter.

　"After all, Stella isn't a shameless person, right~~~~"

　"You!!" Stella stared at Shushizuku with her eyes wide open, not knowing what to say.
