In the starry capital of Gales, Sonia is sitting outside the Jingting Silent Coffee Shop with a cup of the signature coffee Jingting Silent in front of her. It tastes very bitter at first, but then a rich sweet milky flavor blooms on the taste buds, neutralizing the greasy sweet with bitterness and covering the bitterness with sweetness. It is even a bit addictive. No wonder this shop has become the most popular tourist attraction in Gales in July and August.
The red-haired girl nibbled on the straw and watched videos out of boredom.
It was already 9 o'clock in the evening, but the commercial street was still crowded with young people of all kinds hanging out with their friends. Opposite the cafe was a street performance band, and if you listened carefully you could tell it was Theda Rose's "banned song". But the more banned it was, the more popular it became. Soon, thirty or forty people gathered outside the band, and everyone was laughing and singing the theme song of "The Cuo Ren of Zhou" in unison, which made Sonia feel a little itchy.
Suddenly, a very cute blonde girl came bouncing over to say hello and handed Sonia a note: "Excuse me, this is something my timid brother wanted to give you."
Sonia followed her direction and saw a handsome young man standing by the street lamp outside, blushing and waving at her. She looked at the note, which introduced him as a sophomore at Aletheia University, and that he thought she was pretty, and asked if they could add each other as friends.
"Sophomore at Alyssa University?" Sonia smiled.
"He doesn't look that smart!" The blonde girl nodded seriously, "But he became a magician last year, and he even ranked in the top 32 in last month's Meteor Tribulation, which is only slightly worse than me."
"You are also from the University of Aletheia?"
"Fourth-year student, graduating this year!" The blonde girl giggled, "So, do you look down on my brother? I'm going to humiliate him severely and teach him a profound lesson!"
Sonia didn't know whether to laugh or cry. She considered her words and said, "No, it's just... I'm a sophomore at Jianhua University, not a senior, and Jianhua University is not as good as Zhenli University. I don't think it's suitable..."
"Ever since your school produced Sword Princess, now the truth is no match for the sword flower." The blonde girl spread her hands: "Besides, dating does not need to look at the school... But I understand what you mean. If it were me, I would not be interested in such a timid boy."
Sonia chuckled. At this time, the blonde girl suddenly sat opposite her and looked at her with shining eyes. "Are you interested in that brave girl? I am Alyana, a graduate of the University of Truth. I am currently a gold magician of the water magic faction. Which faction do you study? Maybe I can communicate with you!"
When the handsome young man apologized and forcibly pulled his sister away, the blonde girl was still reluctant to leave and waved at Sonia. Sonia, who was smiling with her hands covering her mouth, wondered if she was trying to strike up a conversation with him in the name of her brother.
Sonia did not use miracles to conceal her appearance. She still had red hair and bloodshot eyes, but she wore a mask. People who were familiar with her would still be able to recognize her.
But in the big city of Galashi, there are too many young girls with red hair and bloodshot eyes like her.
The reason is very simple. After the news of Sonia becoming a demigod spread, her clothing and appearance immediately became a fashion trend for girls in Galaxie. Because she often wore school uniforms before, the sales of Jianhua University's school uniforms increased greatly. Now, if Sonia looks up, she can find four or five young girls with red hair and bloodshot eyes wearing school uniforms on the street. The forum calls this trend "Jian Ji style" and "Sonia style". Maybe in a few years it will really settle into a new aesthetic style.
But even with so many followers, Sonia was still the most eye-catching star in the crowd, and just sitting there attracted a lot of admirers.
She looked down at the note in her hand and casually put it under her coffee cup.
This was already the seventh time she had been approached by someone tonight, and she felt an inexplicable sense of...newness?
It's not that no one had approached Sonia before. On the contrary, in the first month after entering college, she had completed the perfect transformation from a village girl to a female college student, outshining her roommate Lois and becoming the most beautiful freshman in the Water Magic Department. She had many suitors. After becoming a magician, the quality of her suitors increased. Every day, she received dinner invitations from young talents. The most high-quality suitor was a young marquis who spent a fortune just to have dinner with Sonia.
Obviously, she has always been loved by everyone, and everyone sees her in a car or in a coffin, but it was not until tonight that Sonia suddenly realized how popular she was.
Why did I never care about these people's pursuit before? Why did I think from the bottom of my heart that these people's admiration was not worth mentioning?
Is it because she is focused on magic and career?
This is also what many people think of Sonia - geniuses are always devoted to their careers and have no interest in socializing. Instead of spending time interacting with suitors, it is better to practice swordplay. Miss Swordsman does not need love.
Of course this couldn't be the case.
How could a little girl who grew up watching Deda Rose's love movies and TV series not have a vision for love? It's just that Sonia used to think that her first task was to make money and build a career. Although sweet love is good, it is not worthy of a village girl who needs to complete a class transition.
After Sonia completed her class transition, she should have started to enjoy her life, but the self in her memory did not just lie down, but worked harder and harder. She did not start when she became a gold magician, did not start when she reached the sanctuary, and did not start after she was promoted to a legend... You have to know that her biggest goal at the beginning was to become a gold magician and become a noble of Galaxie.
Sonia knew herself very well. She was indeed tenacious and worked hard, but she was also vain and greedy. She was cruel to herself in order to enjoy it tenfold or a hundredfold in the future. Now when she recalled the past, she was surprised that after she was promoted to the Holy Realm, she did not indulge in drunkenness and dreaming, nor did she pursue happiness. She was as diligent as a seeker who never gave up until death.
But she is not a seeker of truth. She is just a vulgar, vain beautiful girl who feels secretly happy when someone likes her. She needs recognition, wants a sweet love, and wants every day to be colorful.
However, her memory has now faded to a grayish white.
From the moment she became a magician until now, why did all those exciting and wonderful feelings, those precious fragments, and those colorful moments disappear?
Could it be that...
Sonia shook her head violently, refusing to delve further.
It doesn’t matter even if the youth in her memory is grayish, because her youth hasn’t ended anyway. She is still a sophomore at Jianhua University, and she will be a junior in another month!
The reason why she sat here drinking coffee was not because she came to the Internet celebrity shop to check in, but because she didn't know where to go. Although she really wanted to go home to accompany her mother, at least that's what she thought before returning to Fanxing, but after returning to Fanxing, she hesitated - accompanying her mother was a good thing, but returning to her hometown was not, and she had no good feelings for her remote, old-fashioned and backward hometown.
She had suggested many times before that her mother come to settle in Galaxia, but her mother was nostalgic and felt that her friends and neighbors were all in her hometown, and she would not be used to living in a big city. Sonia could not force her.
Sonia really loves her mother. She is willing to hold high the heaven and grant her mother eternal life, but she is unwilling to return to her hometown to live for a long time. At most, she can go home to have a meal with her mother, and she can't even stay overnight.
Since she was not going home, Sonia naturally turned her attention to the campus. It was always a good time to study, not to mention that she was a demigod who upgraded too quickly and too hastily, and her knowledge system was not solid. The campus was the best choice for her to improve her foundation and consolidate her strength.
And she also wanted to try returning to school as a demigod, feeling the joy of returning to the novice village with a max-level character to bully the newbies.
After drinking the coffee in one gulp, Sonia spread her virtual wings and flew across the night sky of Galashi, arriving at Jianhua University in less than a minute.
I’ll talk to the principal tomorrow and go back to reunite with my roommates tonight.
Colorful campus life, enthusiastic admirers, and vigorous academic atmosphere. My youth has just begun.
"I'm really dating Ash at school! My youth is complete!"
Sonia almost fell headfirst from mid-air. The terrified juniors and seniors near the school road looked at the embarrassed red-haired senior and shouted with suppressed anger, "Isn't your youth too easy to be perfect?!"
