Chapter 39: Chapter 35: Girls’ Preferences

At this moment.

Dragon Knight Academy, sixth grade.

In a small private training ground, a young man was bare-chested, continuously dripping sweat, with the ground beneath his feet completely soaked wet. He was swinging his Dragon-slaying Sword. Each of his sword swings was meticulous, each sword stroke was incredibly precise, identical to the previous one.

Suddenly, a shadow flickered beside him, and a masked man in black emerged from the shadows.

"Second Young Master."

His voice was deep and husky, as if two pieces of wood were rubbing against each other.

"What is it?"

The young man continued to swing his Dragon-slaying Sword with his body motionless like a statue.

"My subordinate just returned from the Second Year, he didn’t have a chance to make a move."

The man in black spoke.

"What, is there an enemy in the Second Year that even you guys can’t deal with?"

The young man asked, a chill sweeping through his words.

"Not exactly, it’s just that the young lady showed up. Not only that, she also revealed her true identity and knocked down all 31 people."

The man in black spoke with his usual tone.

"What?"

The young man was taken aback, tossing his Dragon-slaying Sword to the side. The sword smashed into the ground, creating a large crater with its unimaginable heaviness.

"Did she regain her magic abilities?"

The young man slightly moved his body and the Fighting Aura quickly evaporated his sweat.

"No, the young lady used a very special combat technique. It appears to be martial arts, but it was accompanied by a burst of magic power. I’ve never seen such a fighting style before."

The man in black had a hint of confusion in his tone at this point.

"Of course you haven’t. That’s a Magic Fighter."

A small trace of warmth appeared at the corner of the young man’s usually cold mouth.

"So this is the legendary Magic Fighter! Truly impressive!"

The man in black spoke, he wasn’t complimenting; he never compliments, he was just stating the truth.

"Yes, the impressive Magic Fighter. I wonder what grandfather will look like when he gets the news."

Saying this, the young man’s face became cold again, apparently recollecting a certain memory.

When Ai Lin reappeared in the first-grade training ground, it immediately caused a sensation in the whole class. When people realized that Ai Lin had been living in a dorm room with Long Yi while dressed as a man for a month, the commotion grew even more. Some male students even began to actively question if their own roommates might be cute girls in disguise, especially a few soft-spoken boys in the class, who became the prime targets of suspicion.

Some even speculated that Long Yi must have known all along and simply kept it a secret.

However, after the initial surprise, people’s attention began to shift to Ai Lin.

Her glittering silver bodysuit was indeed very eye-catching, especially with Ai Lin’s excellent figure, every curve meticulously outlined, causing envy and jealousy among many female students in the class. However, even those among them with good figures didn’t dare to wear such bold clothing.

They might not dare to wear her clothes, but their shoes were a different matter.

Some girls noticed that Ai Lin’s walk was a bit odd. Unlike usual, it had an elegant presence. Those girls with a keen fashion sense quickly noticed Ai Lin’s feminine knight boots. Completely different from the usual style, one could say these boots held no battle value and existed solely for aesthetic reasons. And that was precisely Long Yi’s aim.

When Ai Lin joined the girls, and Long Yi noticed that the girls’ discussion gradually transitioned from Ai Lin’s good figure to the knight boots on her feet, he knew that his plan was correct.

Whether it was his previous world or this one, no one could resist the allure of high heels. It was an inevitable part of history.

Oh heavens, I, a sinner who casually pushes the wheel of history, ask the Dragon God to punish me severely with gold coins!

The instructor came up to Long Yi and asked quietly, "They fought?"

Long Yi nodded, "Yes, they did."

"Who fought?"

"Ai Lin."

"Result?"

"She won."

"Good, take three days off and rest well."

The instructor was in high spirits. He had known about Ai Lin’s secret early on and even thought that her chances were slim. But for some reason, Ai Lin was now brimming with surging magic power. No matter how Ai Lin did it, the instructor was extremely pleased. After all, that was Ai Lin Kai Long, the granddaughter of General Kai Long, the Iron Blood! Having regained her power under his guidance, he could finally leave the academy and even if he couldn’t go to the front line, joining a logistic team on the battlefield would also suffice.

"Alright, alright, everyone stop! I have news, Ai Lin has just exacted her revenge! Alone, against thirty-one people! And she won!"

The instructor announced.

Suddenly, everyone gasped in surprise. No one expected that Ai Lin had not only transformed her appearance but had also become stronger! Could she be even stronger than Long Yi?

"Look at Ai Lin, and then look at yourselves. You still have time to chat? In one week, it’s the academy’s opening ceremony! The strongest Dragon Knight of the White Dragon Empire, the most outstanding Legion General, and even the royal family will send people to attend. As first-year students, you will be the subjects of final review! If you can make a good showing and join the reserve of a certain legion, if you are not a fool, then the quota for the Dragon Knight Legion is basically settled! Let me tell you in advance, my Group Leader will also attend, if you guys embarrass me, don’t blame me for making your life hell in the future!"

The students responded loudly, in fact, everyone here knows the importance of the opening ceremony. You should know that at the opening ceremony, some regular performances will take place. If you do well, your future will definitely be smooth sailing!

Having been given the day off, Long Yi decided to go out and celebrate. However, Wesley chose not to leave. The reason was simple. The strength displayed by Long Yi and Ai Lin was just too pressure-inducing. Originally, it was just Long Yi, at least Ai Lin and Wesley were on the same level. But now, Ai Lin has also become so powerful, Wesley always felt like he was worthless when the three of them were together.

Long Yi didn’t intend to console him, as he was not a person who believed only in power. He believed that everyone could find their own place in battle, but he was not an educator. Just like Long Yi’s attitude towards Ai Lin, if one can do this, it’s best and he will naturally help. If they can’t, he won’t force it.

At this time, Long Yi’s injuries hadn’t fully healed. But after a series of struggles, it wasn’t as painful as before. Moreover, his nearly exhausted efforts to help Ai Lin had brought quite a few benefits. Simply put, his Fighting Aura seemed to be gradually reaching the seventh level.

Leaving the academy, Long Yi and Ai Lin headed straight to the shoe store. Ai Lin had wanted to go. A group of girls had been chatting away, clearly quite interested in Ai Lin’s Knight boots. But when asked about the origins of these boots, Ai Lin remained tight-lipped. She had made this her secret and had no intention of sharing it with anyone.

However, this only fueled her curiosity about these boots. She wanted to see for herself how Long Yi had made them.

With nothing better to do, Long Yi led her through the process he had followed that morning.

They first bought five pairs of ordinary leather boots from the shoe store. Then, following his recollections of women’s boots from his past life, he had the store owner cut them to various lengths. Afterwards, Long Yi took Ai Lin straight to the blacksmith shop run by the Golden Hammer.

Golden Hammer only took one glance to realize that Ai Lin’s bodysuit was made of pure Shadow Silver. What a pity, so much Shadow Silver, not used to make a piece of armor, but instead used to make a bodysuit for his girlfriend. Even a youthful man shouldn’t flaunt his desires so blatantly.

Especially considering that Shadow Silver is a metal that dwarves cannot produce! Even if he could spare a little, it’d be great!

Dwarves have a lot of pride. He has no plans to tear a piece off Ai Lin’s bodysuit, but he had already taken note in his heart to make Long Yi get some for him in the future.

Maybe this kid even has Light Silver!

Yes, he should also give me some Light Silver!

Golden Hammer busied himself with his own machine at the side, while Long Yi began the rhythmic pounding of metal. Making hides, making armor panels, making heel pieces. This time, Long Yi made some even higher heels. Once finished, he handed them over to Golden Hammer, who instantly began cutting and polishing with his machine. After rust-proofing, the shiny metal was assembled onto the previously made boots.

Long Yi handed these pairs of boots to Ai Lin, and said, "These are all for you. Keep the pairs that you like, and if you have any good friends, you can gift them."

Long Yi’s plan was great. He wanted Ai Lin to serve as a model, a spokesperson, he wanted to create his own luxury brand! He wanted to make money! He was from another world! He wanted to make money!

Ai Lin blushed as she received the boots. Each pair was unique, but all carried the basic style of the women’s knight boots.

Gift them to someone else?

She was reluctant to give them away!

Seeing Ai Lin’s expression, Golden Hammer leaned over.

"Kid, maybe you’re right. This thing could really make money."

"Why did you have a sudden change of heart, Uncle?" Long Yi laughed.

"Look at that girl, holding those boots just like us dwarves holding a bag of gold coins. If all you human girls were like this, we’d surely make a killing." Dwarves are business-savvy, they naturally know what makes money.

Long Yi smiled.

"Uncle, let me tell you, at least eight out of ten are like this."

"Good! Let’s do this business!"

On the way back, Long Yi was carrying the bag, and Ai Lin was walking by his side. Both of them were silent, unsure of what to say. After dinner, both of them returned to the dormitory, and the exhausted Long Yi hopped straight onto the bed.

"Goodnight."

Long Yi said.

"Yes, goodnight."

Ai Lin responded.

Long Yi was preparing to get a good night’s sleep. He needed to discuss the details with the Golden Hammer Uncle the next day.

However, just as Long Yi was about to drop off to sleep, he suddenly woke up.

Something’s not right!

Something’s not right! Did I forget something?

Suddenly, Long Yi became rigid. He swiftly turned his head, only to see Ai Lin lying on her side on the bed, her back to him. The silver curves of her body were incredibly alluring beneath the hazy light coming in from the window. Especially her slender legs and slender waist. He could see a picturesque landscape in her figure.

A verse from an old poem naturally came to mind.

This was bad.

The Ai Lin right now was a girl!
