Chapter 174: The Swordswomans Interlude (2)

Hey, congratulations. Sonya sounded somewhat downhearted. I still havent fully recovered

Sonya did not hide the fact that she had died in the Virtual Realm; instead, she spread the news widely. With the help of Professor Trozan, the entire school learned that the Genius known as the Red-haired Swordswoman had finally met her match in the Virtual Realm.

After some strategic public relations, the students perception of Sonya softened. Even Professor Trozan, who had been envious of her talents, took greater care of her. Whenever Sonya went to the cafeteria, the auntie would even give her an extra couple of scoops.

Her failure did not tarnish Sonyas talents; instead, it made her more approachable and personable.

Like the impoverished but beautiful college student, the Genius who occasionally fails was also a rather effective label. Sonya decided to seize this rare opportunity to deepen this persona. This way, she wouldnt have to carry the weight of everyones expectations, yet she could still access the resources reserved for a Genius, effectively Winning.

Looks like Ill just have to go back to the dorm and sleep like everyone else tomorrow night

Most people choose to sleep, right? Who else would be as excited as you in the middle of the night, itching for a fight? Felix thought to himself, grumbling inwardly, while coldly huffing, Just remember to tell Sylvia not to wait down there and accidentally run into me again.

Huh?

Sonya opened her innocent wide eyes, looking at him with a puzzled face: Sylvia? Do you mean Senior Sister Sylvia? What about her?

Youre acting as if you really dont know. Felix looked at her with disdain. I wont be going to the Meditation Tower tomorrow night. Ill be entering the Virtual Realm from home instead. Just make sure she stops bothering me.

I really dont know what youre talking about

Sonya, try thinking of others for once, Felix sighed. You know how dangerous it is to be close to me. Why dont you advise Sylvia to stay away?

The rustic girl countered, Do you dislike her?

Is the opposite of dislike liking? Sonya, I hate the way you deliberately set traps with your words

So answer me directly, do you like Sylvia?

I like her, but not in the way youre expecting.

Feelings can be developed over time, dont you believe in love at first sight?

Watching Sonya, who was both embarrassed and angry, Felix was also filled with questions he knew her social circle, which barely included any males; who could she possibly have feelings for?

Arsenault, who co-anchored with her? But it was rumored that Arsenault would actively run away whenever he saw Sonya on campus

Senior Lorein? Unlikely

Me? Not to mention how badly she beat me up, but she also helped Sylvia ambush me, and Im a bona fide Gold Tier in the love Faction, highly attuned; its impossible not to feel when someone has feelings for me

After much thought, Felix suddenly remembered something: during the night of hosting, Sonya seemed to reconcile with her roommate Lois, and since then, theyve grown increasingly close. Just the day before yesterday, Sonya got drunk with Senior Sister Leoni, and it was Lois who helped her change and bathe

Could it be

As Sonya, who had finally calmed down, turned around, she realized Felix was several meters away from her and asked in confusion, Why are you so far away?

Nothing. Felix stood up and said, My left hand is almost healed. I think Ill go home for a bath and then get some treatment. It was great spending a pleasant evening with you. Lets never see each other again, goodbye

Since its the last night, Sonya also stood up, then you should give me a ride back to the dormitory You dont want to?

Does the opposite of not wanting to mean wanting to? Sonya, I hate the way you deliberately set traps with your words

If youre going to practice Hydrotherapy spirit, might as well add a few more wounds

I still have to drive, cant afford to injure both hands and feet. Felix surrendered.

The two left the deserted Training Hall and stepped onto the campus boulevard under the watchful gaze of the Stars.

Sonya suddenly remembered something and exclaimed, Ah, I almost forgot, theres something Ive been wanting to ask you for a long time. After all, Felix, youre a Noble young master, so you might know some secrets that the poor dont.

What is it?

Do you know about the Four Pillars Cult?

Felix blinked and subconsciously raised his left hand but then lowered it again.
