"call."

Sonia exhaled a foot of white air like a sword, and stopped her tired hands, waiting for the armor with a big hole in it to slowly recover. The other sword apprentices in the training hall looked at the red-haired swordsman curiously. This was the first time they saw the red-haired swordsman come to train in the afternoon - but when they thought of the social party in the evening, they admired her.

Because she needs to participate in an event in the evening, she has been training in advance. She is worthy of being our Swordswoman!

"Sonia!" Adele rushed in and shouted, "Loy and the others are waiting for you, why don't you leave?"

"We still have a few minutes." Sonia raised her wooden training sword and made a thrusting gesture: "Wait for me."

Adele was extremely anxious, but she could only stay there obediently, half squatting and rubbing her calves - she had run all the way from the dormitory, and this short distance alone made her feel exhausted.

She watched Sonia do thrust training again and again with boredom. Today, Sonia tied her bright red hair into a bun to facilitate movement, revealing her proud and smooth neck. Drops of sweat flowed down her forehead, across her face, over the tip of her nose, down her neck, and into her dark vest training suit.

The vest made a heavy shaking sound with each thrust of Sonia - her hands, legs, and torso were all loaded with weight.

"You look so tired." Adele supported her chin with both hands and sighed, "Sonia, do you feel happy with the training?"

"How is that possible?" Sonia exhaled a puff of white air between breaths and said with a smile, "Even Ingrid doesn't find training fun. It's against human nature to repeat monotonous exercises over and over again. If this could produce pleasure, the training hall would definitely be packed every day."

"So it's not true?" Adele was a little surprised: "Everyone says that you must like sword training very much, so you can persevere in coming to the training hall every day. Isn't it said in the story that geniuses of a certain faction can often find happiness in faction training, while people without talent can only gain depression in training..."

"Maybe there really are people like that." Sonia thrust forward, the wooden sword piercing through the armor, but there were no cracks anywhere except the sword marks: "But I'm not that kind of person."

"Sword training, to me, is just, so, boring!"

"If I hadn't been forced, I would definitely never practice swordsmanship in my life!"

Adele asked curiously, "Who forced you?"

She waited for a while, but Sonia didn't answer. She just stabbed the statue hard, as if the statue had a grudge against her.

Adele asked again: "Although you don't want to practice, I feel like you seem to like swordsmanship."

"I don't like swordplay," Sonia said, "I just like the things that come with it. Honor, fame, attention, and a future."

"I like to be dazzling, I want to be the center of attention, I want to be a noble, and I want to stay in Galaxia."

"Although I don't like swordsmanship, I will pretend to like it as long as it can fulfill my wishes. Adele, according to your standards, I am definitely not a genius."

"But if people expect me to be, then I'll pretend to be one."

"call."

Sonia put away the wooden sword and wiped her sweat with the towel beside her. Adele also opened the village girl's water bottle and drank a sip before passing it to Sonia: "Are you lying?"

The village girl was slightly startled, took a sip of water, and looked at the silly, naive, rich, and beautiful native.

"Although I don't like studying or sports, I'm not stupid." Adele folded her hands and said, "Even I can tell whether you really like it or not."

"When you carried your sword bag to train every night, fought with Felix, and challenged Leonie, I didn't see any reluctance, only anticipation. You really like this kind of life, constantly honing, constantly moving forward, and constantly getting stronger." She looked at the weight on Sonia's body and said, "If you really didn't like it, you wouldn't make it more difficult for yourself. It's just like when I'm still not satisfied after watching a play, and I'm looking for plot analysis and derivative texts in the curtain. It's because of deep love that there is a desire."

"Besides, I just noticed it when I watched you train so closely just now."

Adele said seriously: "When you hold the sword, when you sweat, when you swing it, you are super beautiful, just a little bit worse than me."

"Beautiful is definitely right, so Sonia you must be a genius in swordsmanship."

Sonia suddenly felt that she couldn't keep up with Adele's train of thought. "Because I look beautiful when I hold a sword, I should become a swordsman?"

"What else?" Adele asked back, "Beauty is the only reason for existence. Do you want to live up to the favor of the stars?"

"Indeed." Sonia couldn't help but nodded: "That makes sense. Is it a famous quote?"

"From episode 17 of "How pitiful I am when you took my heart away from me"."

"Movies and TV series? I won't watch any show without Deda Rose in it."

"Then you've really missed a lot of classics." Speaking of this, Adele is very knowledgeable: "It is precisely because I have seen so many joys and sorrows that I can see through the vanity of language and the disguise of eyes."

Do the joys and sorrows in movies and dramas count?

"Like you, Sonia. You obviously like swordsmanship very much, but you have to talk about this and that, and use so many excuses to prove that you only practice swordsmanship for profit, as if you will lose in some competition if you admit that you like swordsmanship."

Sonia was stunned.

"There are also music and performing arts classes." Adele seemed to be a little thirsty because she had talked too much. She smacked her lips and snatched the water bottle from Sonia's hand and drank: "You said you wanted to be a singer and a shadow girl in the future because you can make a lot of money. It does sound right, but there are so many professions that can make money, why must you be a singer or a shadow girl?"

"You always find many complicated reasons for yourself, but in fact, the motivations for many things should be very simple."

Adele said with emotion: "I have watched so many dramas, and my biggest feeling is that many plans are obviously perfect, but there are always people who will turn everything around because of a spur of the moment motive. This world is full of unreasonable whims."

Sonia: "...Have you ever thought that maybe the screenwriter was too lazy to write it so he just expanded it?"

"That makes sense." Adele pointed to her vibrating bracelet and said, "Are you done resting? Let's go. Look, Luo Yi is urging us again."

The two quickly returned to the dormitory, only to see a group of female students crowded inside and making a lot of noise, with all kinds of clothes and accessories placed on the table.

Lois couldn't help pinching her nose when she saw Sonia's sweaty body. "Hurry up and take a shower! Really? You suddenly asked us to prepare a battle suit for you, but then you ignored everything and went to train alone... Do you really think that you can make everyone revolve around you just because you become a sword flower? Not to mention that you are not a sword flower yet!"

Sonia apologized, "I'm sorry."

"Go take a shower." Lois waved her hand. "You stink. I allow you to use my shower gel and shampoo this time. Otherwise, I'm afraid you'll stink enough to make me faint."

After Sonia entered the bathroom, Lois tapped her bracelet: "Is Senior Boris not here yet? Is there anyone who can replace her?"

"There aren't many girls who specialize in wind magic, not to mention that you want a magician who specializes in aromatherapy." Another girl complained, "Most of us in the wind magic department specialize in meteorology, and Boris only studies aromatherapy because she occasionally obtains the 'fragrant wind' magic spirit from the virtual world... Real aromatherapy magicians are basically affiliated with those perfume merchants. Unless you become their trainee magician, you won't be able to get the aromatherapy formula they have been researching for hundreds of years."

"It won't be a problem without Boris." Adele said, "Besides, no one will pay attention to Sonia's smell during the battle--"

"Don't forget, there are magic spirits everywhere that can enhance the five senses." Lois interrupted: "A perfect performance cannot have any flaws... That's right!"

She opened her cupboard and pulled out a glass bottle inlaid with star diamonds from the innermost part.

Adele was shocked when she saw it: "Isn't this the "Tears of a Meteor"? Lois, you actually hid this good thing and didn't share it with your best friend!"

"I'll share it with you sooner or later, but you'll use it up." Lois looked at the perfume bottle in her hand with a conflicted expression. Other girls came over and asked Lois to let them try the perfume, or to reserve the right to use the perfume.

Ingrid was a little surprised: "Is that perfume expensive?"

"It's not a question of whether it's expensive or not. It's a limited edition that you can't buy even if you have money." Adele explained, "It's a perfume specially blended by a perfumer. It has the power of miracles. You see, the perfumes we usually wear have a lingering fragrance, but they are just common products produced by perfumers on an assembly line. There is only a little bit of miracle power in it, which can't be compared with "Tears of a Meteor"."

"So this perfume will be stronger?"

"No, no, no, the key point of the perfume is not the 'fragrance', but the 'fascination'. It is said that women who have sprayed this perfume can become the only focus of the crowd with their subtle body fragrance, and it can even make people secrete happy body hormones, making people feel good about the user." Adele's face was full of longing: "If I can wear this perfume at the school party, I will definitely be more dazzling than the stars."

"However, this miracle perfume consumes a lot of magic spirits, so it will not be sold to the public and will only be given as a gift. It seems that Luo Yi's family has strong connections..."

At this time, Sonia came out of the shower, and Lois immediately said, "Okay, there are still 95 minutes until six o'clock. In these 95 minutes, we must turn Sonia into a work of art!"

Before the village girl could react, she was pulled over and raised her hands. The girls quickly took off her clothes - even her underwear - and then put on new underwear, followed by a shirt, leggings, breeches, coats, gloves, boots, decorations, and skirts...

Even Sonia was surprised: "Lois, I just asked you to help me find a suitable battle suit. There is no need for so many people to be so grand, right?"

"What do you think a real battle suit is? A pajama dress that you can just put on casually?" Lois said unhappily, "And if you really wanted to wear a battle suit, you should have told me a few days in advance. You only told me this afternoon and gave me only a few hours, which is not outrageous for finishing my homework."

"All the dazzling battle suits you have seen on the light screen require several people to wear, and even need to be tailored by magic spirits - I invited these senior sisters here through my connections, you should thank them later."

"No need." A senior student smiled and said, "It is our honor to serve the new sword flower. If you really want to thank us, Lois, you can thank us - please, I have an important date next week, please lend me the "Tears of the Meteor" to wear."

"I'm meeting my fiancé in a few days!"

"I have a very important dinner to attend!"

Sonia smiled and said, "Thank you for your generous help, seniors. Lois, I didn't mean to bother you, but I just found out this morning that I would be in charge of the chief battle of the social party. If I didn't ask the professor, he wouldn't tell me, so..."

"Professor Trozan is really..."

Lois muttered to herself as she pressed Sonia down on the stool, "Are you confident that you won't hurt your face? It's ugly when blood and makeup mix together... Or maybe just trim your eyebrows?"

Sonia summoned a magic spirit: "I have the magic spirit of Dingri, please help me put on a makeup that is most suitable for the spotlight."

Lois's expression softened slightly: "You even bought the 'Fixing the Sun' magic spirit. I think you are somewhat prepared."

She took out a headband and tied up the girl's red hair, then looked closely at her eyes: "Your eyes seem a little dry... Adele, bring me my eye wash."
