Chapter 243: Chapter 209 Our Dormitory Is Really Amazing
“Cheers to victory!”
In the Secret Garden, the Sword Flower dormitory group of four sat in the hallway, raising their glasses in celebration.
Today, all the booths were full, so they chose a small table in the hall, with other students sneakily glancing at them from all around. However, they had come to accept the baptism of these gazes quite calmly. If anyone wished to approach and start a conversation, a mere glance from them would be sufficient for the would-be interlocutor to wisely turn toward the bathroom to check out their own intimidating look in the mirror.
Four days ago, under the watchful eyes of the public, Sonia challenged Reonie once again.
This time, Reonie did not make any concessions and regarded Sonia as a formidable opponent, gladly accepting the challenge. Both clad in their Star Radiance attire, wielding sharp longswords and employing their full arsenal of abilities, they gave it their all!
Four Medical Mages were on hand at the scene, out of fear that these two Sword Saint seeds might have an untimely end in their internal duel!
Sword Master against Sword Master, the sharpest against the sharpest!
Although in the end both their Star Radiance garments simultaneously shattered and the instructors declared a draw, everyone knew that from that moment on, the redhead Sword Maiden had used the orange dancer as a stepping stone to become the unrivalled Heavenly Pride of Sword Flower University.
After all, Reonie had already been a Silver Mage for more than two years, whereas Sonia had not even reached… a month!
The previous time Sonia sent Reonie’s sword flying, one could say it was ‘luck’, but this time it was an all-out one-on-one duel. Even the nitpickers, who are accustomed to lifting bars at construction sites, could only question Sonia’s beauty, without any ground to doubt her strength!
Moreover, Sonia hadn’t even finished her first year yet, and many people believed that she could become a Golden Mage before graduation.
Even at Truth University, known for its gathering of geniuses, students who stepped into the Time Continent before graduation were considered the most dazzling meteors. As for the freshmen at Sword Flower University, their college life was destined to dim under the starlight of the redhead Sword Maiden.
Many even felt that the greatest achievement of their lives might be “I was once a classmate of Sonia Sevi.”
If someone is slightly ahead of you, you might feel jealous; but if someone is so far ahead that you can’t even catch the dust they’ve kicked up, you can only admire them, and even fanatically worship them, hoping for their future accolades to boast about this rare connection.
It was rumored that within the school’s Veil, there had already appeared fan clubs for Sonia Sevi, though they were still debating whether to call themselves ‘Sonia Fans’ or ‘Sevi Peeps’.
On the other hand, given Sonia’s high level of attention, her roommates naturally became the focus as well—after all, Sonia was already a Heavenly Pride that people couldn’t dare to approach directly, but if one could befriend Sonia’s friends, wouldn’t that be an indirect way to join Sonia’s circle?
Upon a closer look, everyone was shocked to discover that Sonia actually had a group of treasure-like roommates.
No need to mention Ingrid, who, aside from Felix and Sonia, had the best grades in the Sword Skill Department, diligent and with an impressive bearing.
Lois was one of the most dazzling beauties in the Water Magic Department, with Sonia’s transfer to the Sword Skill department, the ‘one of’ could be removed.
Adelle was even more incredible, as she was the original founder of Sonia’s fan club, who later unquestionably became the president of the fan club by virtue of being ‘Sonia’s roommate’, truly the number one fan of the redhead Sword Maiden.
Driven quietly by Adelle, ‘Sword Flower Dormitory’ became a household name around campus, with everyone knowing that Sonia’s dorm produced not just one but four Sword Flowers. Sword Flower University had truly stumbled upon a treasure; these girls were destined to become the leading pop group of Jiale City…
Faced with the increasingly heated attention, Sonia and Lois naturally relished it, as their types of ‘performer personalities’ thrived on the superiority and energy gained from people’s glances, attending school every day as though they were charged with vitality.
Adelle, though not as ostentatious as the other two, also enjoyed being in the spotlight and bragged daily about the love letters expressing adoration that she received.
Only Ingrid initially had trouble adjusting to this attention and would feel irritated when people tried to strike up a conversation during her morning runs.
But after undergoing a makeover by Sonia and Lois, changing hairstyles, grooming her eyebrows, purchasing plain but better-tailored sportswear, and already having an excellent foundation in figure, her attractiveness instantly caught up to that of Sonia and the others and is currently just slightly behind Adelle. If Adelle continued to gain weight, surpassing her was not a dream.
After becoming more beautiful, Ingrid, though a bit shy, soon grew more and more confident, handling approaches without batting an eye and even starting to learn how to take care of her skin from Sonia.
Makeup is a woman’s armor, and admiration is a man’s surrender. Ingrid had previously not cared about appearances, feeling that a Sword Master need not waste time on such things, but that didn’t mean she really didn’t want to be beautiful—after all, her initial desire to become a Sword Master was sparked by seeing Dedarose portray a handsome female Sword Saint on the Light Screen.
Beautiful, elegant, powerful! This is the Sword Saint that Ingrid aspired to be!
With Sonia and Lois’ help in avoiding detours, Ingrid found that she only needed to invest a little time each day to have a look capable of defeating 90% of her peers, and it did not interfere with her daily cultivation. Naturally, she was happy to join the ranks of beautiful girls, fulfilling one-third of her dream of becoming a ‘Sword Saint.’
And tonight, Ingrid took another step closer to her dream.
“You’re amazing. Our dorm has produced two Mages before the end of our freshman year,” Adelle said with her face flushed and giggling. “Our dorm is really amazing!”
During tonight’s routine cultivation, when Ingrid’s sword strike hit the target like a ten-ring shot, a Resonance with knowledge occurred, spontaneously summoning her first Lifebound Technique Spirit, making her the second Official Mage in the dorm!
“Is it because Sonia and Ingrid are amazing, what does it have to do with you?”
Lois bluntly exposed Adelle’s shamelessness. However, she also looked curiously at the new female Sword Master: “Ingrid, could you show us your Technique Spirit?”
“Actually, there’s nothing much to see.” said Ingrid, even though she said so, she willingly stretched out her hand, and a Technique Spirit holding a blade materialized in her palm.
“So this is the ‘Slashing Sword’ Technique Spirit,” Adelle said after examining it for a moment, surprised. “Huh? It’s your own summoned Technique Spirit, so why does it look like a male? Could it be, Ingrid, that you are a woman disguised as a man? No wonder your chest is so—”
“The Technique Spirit spontaneously summoned is related to the inner projection of the Mage. If you didn’t listen in class, don’t talk nonsense,” Lois slapped Adelle’s head. “Maybe Ingrid thinks male Swordmasters are stronger?”
“That’s right,” said Ingrid frankly. “Although I believe I’m not inferior to males, I also know that men have an advantage over women in strength and agility, and I need to work harder to surpass my male peers in swordsmanship. Sometimes I wonder if I were a man, would my path in swordsmanship be smoother…”
“In fact, after becoming an Official Mage, the impact of individual talents like strength and agility is minimal,” Sonia said while eating popcorn chicken. “What determines a Mage’s strength is the Technique Spirit, Magic Power, and faction Realm; gender is trivial. Look at Felix, didn’t I hammer him into submission? You don’t need to feel inferior.”
“I know, I understand all that,” said Ingrid with an apologetic smile. “But some concepts are hard to change overnight; only when I become stronger and have enough confidence in myself can I eradicate these insecurities… Thank you for your concern.”
Sonia stared blankly at Ingrid for a few seconds, then turned to Lois and said, “You just wait, she will eventually stand at a peak we can’t even reach. This woman has a power that is stronger than talent.”
“You two will both eventually stand at a peak we can’t even reach,” Lois said in annoyance.
“It’s all three of you,” Adelle chimed in. “Lois is about to summon her ‘Water Therapy’ Technique Spirit too.”
“You still can, mean it, say!” Lois tapped Adelle’s head with each pause: “I ask you to practice with me, and you don’t; I ask you to study with me, and you don’t. If you keep this up, I doubt you can step into the Void Realm before graduation. What will you do if you can’t graduate then?”
“I’ll just get married,” Adelle said, covering her head.
“What then? Become a lady who only knows ‘Wind, Flower, Snow, Moon’?”
“Besides ‘Wind, Flower, Snow, Moon,’ I can continue lying in bed watching dramas at home.”

“You—”
As Lois was about to turn Adelle’s face into a pancake, Sonia thought for a moment and then said: “Adelle, I know you’re not interested in Water Magic; maybe you chose the wrong faction… But after more than a year of study, you shouldn’t be far from the Silver Realm. Try a little harder, and you can step into the Void Realm. Once there, you can slowly choose a new Magic Faction; there must be a faction out there that you’re passionate about.”
“You and Ingrid are the same; you know the big principles but can’t do it yourself… So I can only tell you, the Void Realm is really a fun and interesting place. What is described in books is far less than one ten-thousandth of the Void Realm. We Mages explore the Void Realm every night not just to grow stronger; even more so because it is an activity that is more enjoyable than lying in bed watching dramas.”
“Moreover,” Sonia delivered a final blow: “Once Lois also steps into the Void Realm, our daily topics may gradually change to the ins and outs of Void Realm Exploration. By that time, you who haven’t soaked in the Sea of Knowledge won’t be able to join our conversations.”
Adelle was silent for a moment, then chugged a drink and said with a ‘ha’: “Fine, fine, I won’t watch dramas anymore starting tomorrow!”
“Tomorrow?” Lois raised her eyebrows.
“I was going to binge-watch the series I’m following all night… Fine, fine, I won’t watch it starting now! For you guys, this little sacrifice is nothing!”
“It’s for yourself!”
