Chapter 373: Sword Princess's Day



The starry kingdom.

"What about you? Are you thinking about me? Do you miss me so much that you can't sleep and cry secretly under the quilt? Do you like me as much as I like you?"

"You could have used my infatuation as a trophy to show off to other girls, saying how cheap and shameless I am, and then hugged that girl and said, I'm glad I met you."

"Don't worry, I won't cry or make a fuss with you, because I know——"

"I am no longer your exception."

Miracle: Blood, Water and Moon!

Countless threads passed through the air, and blood flowers bloomed like a curtain. The red-haired sword girl stood in the blood curtain, and drops of blood fell on the red-haired girl's face, sliding down like tears.

"Okay! Passed!"

The tense atmosphere on the set relaxed immediately. Sonia let out a long breath and sat on a folding chair to rest. The assistant came over to wipe the blood off her face and handed her lemonade. The magicians and civil engineers on the set immediately rebuilt the terrain according to the blueprint. The rumbling sound of the soil rolling and stretching was the accompaniment for the actors' rest.

"Miss Servi, it's a great performance." The director came over, his vision blocked by the six-eyepiece, but he couldn't hide his admiration in his words: "I originally thought that since you have no acting training and little life experience, you would be a little stiff in acting in this kind of love-hate relationship. I didn't expect you to get into the state so quickly."

"Although you are still not as good as the top Kagehime, as a newcomer, your acting skills will definitely impress the audience. You are the right person to play this role... By the way, are you in a state of unrequited love? I feel that you are particularly real in this part of the performance."

"Haha." Sonia showed a businesslike smile: "Of course not, I don't plan to talk about it before graduation-"

Director: "Because I really like to design this kind of female character who is caught in a twisted love in the script, but there are not many Yingji who are suitable for this type, so I was wondering if I can find you for this kind of role in the future-"

"I actually have a crush on someone for three years." Sonia immediately became sad and self-pitying: "The reason why I applied to Jianhua University and came to Jialeshi was that I hoped to stand in front of him one day, but when we met again, he was already my best friend's fiancé..."

The director adjusted his six-eyepiece and said, "I see. From now on, if there are roles like this, I will ask you to audition, Miss Servi."

“Thank you, Director~”

The assistant was stunned - Eh? Was what Jianhua said just now true or false?

"But I really trouble you this time. Just because of my last-minute thought, I wasted so much of your magic power."

In the original script, the character played by Sonia simply chopped off her former lover's head with a sword, and then left with her lover's head in her arms.

But the image of Sonia defeating the alchemist Tida with one sword in the friendly competition had spread like wildfire, and her swordsmanship miracle Blood Flower Water Moon had entered the eyes of countless people. The director simply temporarily modified the script and let her use Blood Flower Water Moon to complete the execution scene.

Naturally, Sonia was very happy to increase her pretentiousness, but in order to achieve the best filming effect, she had already shot this scene nine times, and her magic power was exhausted to the point that her head was a little dizzy.

"Ah, why would it be a hassle? As long as it's for the sake of creating a better work, everything is worth it. In comparison, I'm more worried about whether this scene can be presented truthfully on the screen." Sonia said immediately: "Because it's a bit bloody, and I remember that this drama is for all ages..."

"Don't worry, I'm the best at shooting bloody scenes in romance films." The director said casually, "It's probably not possible to show all of it, but just showing the corners of the scene will allow the audience to imagine a more gorgeous image than the scene itself - and I won't let them delete such a gorgeous and distorted scene even if I bet my connections on it."

"Even if we really need to make major edits, we won't cut out the scenes showing your face, don't worry."

Sonia blinked. "Ah, am I so obvious?"

“It’s not obvious, but an actor who doesn’t care about his camera is as rare as a cat who doesn’t spill a glass of water.”

As if he heard someone talking about him, a small golden tabby cat popped out of the fisherman's hat. It was about the size of a palm, looked fluffy and chubby, and gently jumped into the director's jacket pocket, took out a gold coin from it and put it back into the fisherman's hat.

"Ah!" Sonia's eyes lit up: "This is..."

"Yes, this is the gold-eating beast. It won't let you touch it or tease it. It will only eat gold coins and make trouble." The director said unhappily, "It looks cute, right? It's exchanged for nervous weakness. I think the virtual world is definitely targeting me, so it gave me, who needs quiet time to create, a gold-eating beast that is least likely to be quiet."

Gold Devouring Beasts are native to the Time Continent, but they are not considered intellectual creatures and are classified as "rare species" in the Starry Kingdom. When a magician encounters a rare species in the virtual realm, there is a certain probability that the rare species will stick to the magician, and then be taken out of the virtual realm by the magician and turned from virtual to real.

There is no evidence that rare species have any bonus for magicians, but generally speaking, magicians favored by rare species have three characteristics: ① At least a two-wing magician; ② Kind-hearted and easy to empathize with others; ③ Innocent and simple thinking. In other words, people favored by rare species are...

"Don't envy me." The director said, "Miss Servi, you might also encounter a gold-eating beast that depends on you in the virtual world."

"Haha, that's impossible," Sonia waved her hand, "I'm not from an aristocratic family."

Strong strength, a kind heart, and simple thoughts, these conditions can only be met by the children of nobility. No matter how powerful ordinary people are, they must sacrifice one of them to life. Under normal circumstances, ordinary people cannot meet all three conditions. Not to mention strong strength, the last two are beautiful qualities that need to be carefully nurtured.

"Since there is no role for me, I will leave first."

"Thank you for your hard work today." The director said, "Are you going back to school?"

"No, let's go to Aletheia University and borrow their "Time Training Room". I finally managed to reserve a three-hour training time."

"You're so hardworking!" The assistant next to him said admiringly, "You're worthy of being called Jianhua. You're talented and hardworking. I can't even muster the energy to study normally... But for geniuses like you, training should be a very happy thing, right?"

"Hmm~" Sonia pretended to think: "Actually I'm not that happy, but I can clearly feel that I'm making progress bit by bit, just like playing a game, every once in a while I see "Experience +5" pop up above my head..."

"Alas, geniuses and ordinary people are in a different world." The assistant sighed, "Miss Servi, there is a reason why you are so amazing."

“Then I won’t bother you.” The director adjusted the six-eyepiece: “Don’t push yourself too hard—I’m not just talking about acting.”

Sonia blinked, but the director had already gone back to planning the second scene.

Being kind-hearted and caring about others...what an enviable quality.

The village girl chuckled in her heart, and was pulled aside by the assistant to change clothes, and then asked the makeup artist to quickly remove her makeup. Because this scene was to highlight the evil charm of the character, her makeup was not thick but very delicate, in other words, it was troublesome, and her eyebrows had to be washed and removed one by one.

When Sonia left, the set had turned into a real forest scene, and the male and female protagonists were filming their scenes together.

As the film and television base that produces the most movies and TV series in Galashi, the biggest feature of these shooting studios is their plasticity. Civil engineers and illusionists can transform the studios into various real scenes by adding a little bit of details. Not to mention on the light screen, even on the scene you can't tell whether it's real or fake - this is the power of miracles.

As for the distant view, it is easier to handle. With the help of camera eyes and other magic props, the illusionist can directly project the real distant view of the outside world into the studio, with no flaws. Not to mention the forest and snow, even the underwater lava, there are several camera eyes stationed at the film and television base.

Only after coming here did Sonia realize that the movies and dramas she saw on the screen were actually daily life woven by miracles. Even if practitioners are not magicians, they must master magician props, such as the six-eyepiece worn by the director, which is a prop that allows people to watch six camera views at the same time.

After taking a look at the male and female protagonists illuminated by the spotlight, Sonia got in the car and left the film and television base.

Because it is half an hour's drive from the city of Galashi, Sonia was not idle either. She opened the "Friendly Tournament Player Information" in the Miracle Bracelet.

The friendly matches between the colleges and universities have ended, and the next step is the official opening of the college league. The college has helped Sonia organize the seeded players sent by each college in the friendly matches and recorded their performance in the friendly matches.

Under the information of some strong players, Professor Trozan also specifically annotated the swordsman's response strategies.

Senior Leonie once told her a joke: "The college league ended before it started." Although it was not so exaggerated, this analysis data did allow Sonia to understand her strengths and weaknesses when facing magicians of different factions, and even calculate her ranking in the league - if she had not made significant progress during this period or had a hidden card.

This is just the analysis data from Jianhua University. It is said that there is a professor of the prophecy faction at the University of Aletheia who can infer the real combat power of the players based on the existing data and formulate targeted strategies to defeat the enemy. The students of the University of Aletheia can defeat their opponents in most of the league games, and a large part of the reason is due to the analysis ability of the prophecy faction.

The college league may not end before it starts, but it does start before it starts. The school will help students as much as possible, and students must digest this gift as soon as possible before the league starts, make up for their shortcomings and strengthen their advantages.

By the time Sonia's eyes were tired from reading the information, the car had already stopped outside Aletheia University.

Sonia got off the car and turned around to see the Dengtian White Tower not far away.

Since the "Stars Fall" incident, this white tower has been standing in the center of Galaxia, and the stars have never fallen again. Although she can't see it, Sonia knows that there is a star-worshiper at the top of the white tower to maintain the balance of the stars.

Although Aletheia University is not open to the public, this "outside" does not include other universities - non-students of this university can visit Aletheia University directly with their ID.

"Sword flower?"

"Red-haired Sword Princess..."

Sonia has been a hot topic recently, and her experience is so legendary that even at Aletheia University, many people have heard of her, the famous "Sword Saint Seed". Many students recognized Sonia along the way, but they did not chat with her or anything else, just nodded to her. Sonia forced herself to cheer up and responded to every friendly or malicious look with a generous smile.

Arriving in front of a gray-white building, two gunsword masters were on duty at the door. Although the gunsword faction is still in its infancy, it has become the standard for silver armed masters due to its outstanding combat effectiveness and low learning threshold (for sword masters and gunsword masters).

When she walked up the stairs, the gun swordsman reached out to stop her: "Sorry, the area ahead is not for visitors. People from other schools are not allowed to enter."

"I have already made a reservation for the training room." Sonia was a little surprised: "You should be able to see my reservation, right?"

The gunsword masters in charge of security wore miracle goggles and shared the database with the Curtain in the academy, allowing them to directly obtain the basic information of the students in front of them - which was very useful for catching students who violated the rules - so they could tell at a glance that Sonia was not a student of this school, but they could also see Sonia's appointment application.

Moreover, this is Sonia’s third time in the “Time Training Room”. There were no problems the first two times, so why was she stopped this time?

The gunsword master replied politely, "I'm sorry, the academy has recently strengthened security measures. Non-school personnel entering important facilities need to report to the management office. Please wait a moment."

"good."

Sonia stood there waiting for dozens of seconds, until a student passed by her and entered the time training room, and she suddenly realized something.

"Can I come in, please?"

"Sorry, the management office hasn't responded yet." The gun swordsman said, "Maybe the person on duty is out. Please wait a moment."

This flawless official wording is simply nonsense that could only be uttered by a noble senator who was hungover for five days and drank three kilograms of wine.

Sonia instantly understood what she was facing - suppression from Alyssa University.

No, it can't be said that it was suppression by Aletheia University. Such a giant would not pay any attention to Sonia. The one targeting Sonia now might just be an administrative staff in the admissions office. Because Sonia rejected the olive branch extended by Aletheia University two days ago, they took a "small" revenge on her.

Many of the training facilities at Aletheia University are the best and most powerful, or even unique. As long as other allied schools apply through professors, they can come and borrow the miraculous facilities of Aletheia University, such as the "Time Training Room" in front of Sonia.

The avenger did not bully Sonia blatantly. He only asked the guards to intercept non-school students and report the information of outsiders to the management office for review. The procedure was reasonable, especially after the "Falling Stars" incident. Such security enhancement was simply necessary.

Sonia could even imagine the consequences of her various reactions:

① She lost her temper and yelled at the two gun swordsmen, attracting the attention of the students of Truth. There is no doubt that the students of Truth must have long been dissatisfied with the students from other schools occupying their training resources, so they would never empathize with Sonia, but instead felt that "it should have been regulated long ago";

② She insisted on waiting, but the "Time Training Room" was fully booked. If she really waited for three hours, even if she was allowed in, there would be no training room for her. However, it was likely that after she waited for more than two hours, the staff on duty would come back and say "very sorry" to allow her in, making it difficult for her to lose her temper.

③ She went to the school forum to criticize the discrimination of Aletheia University, but except for the members of the Claw Club, no one else would support her. Because it was like a noble girl complaining that her parents married her to the son of a duke who was well-matched. Sonia complained that she was so powerful that she was discriminated against by Aletheia University. For ordinary students, it was no different from showing off.

④ She complained to Professor Trozan, but today's training was ruined anyway. As for whether he would target Sonia next time, it all depended on how much face Trozan had.

But the greater probability is that even if Sonia complains to others, others will only think that she is "suspicious", "framing without evidence" and "too self-conscious".

After all, Alythmia University is a big and powerful university, why would they target you, a student?

A fly won't bite an egg without cracks, and a single hand can't clap...

But Sonia was very sure of her guess.

She is too familiar with this feeling: others follow the rules and regulations in everything, but they can still disgust you, trouble you, and cause you losses for no reason.

They know that you have no power to resist, so they are so unscrupulous.

Even if you persist and refuse to surrender, the most you can do is to take back the rights and interests you deserve. You will not receive any compensation, and they will not punish you.

She and her mother have endured this kind of stifling pain, which is like a fishbone stuck in the throat, which can neither be spit out or swallowed, since she was a child.

The only difference is that the mother becomes more numb over time, while she becomes more angry over time.

Under the sight of the two gunsword masters, Sonia cleared her throat, clicked the miracle bracelet, and dialed a number.

"Hmm?" A lazy voice came from the other side.

"Professor Trozan!" Sonia choked and cried out like a miserable girl, "Come to Aletheia University and save me!"
