Me and my fantasy world

The first move of Sunshine, punch!

Zero-One's right hand was flaming as it headed straight for Leo's head. Although Leo stood firmly without flinching, he still showed his most normal side in the face of harm and even death.

He closed his eyes tightly, clenched his teeth, and murmured, "Alice!" As Chilang got closer and closer to him, Leo remembered the name of the move that Lingyi had just called out when he felt the abnormally high temperature of the skill. He opened his eyes in confusion, "Huh? Sun? Why do you know Sun?"

"What's going on? Why is it so hot..." A woman with long black hair down to her waist pushed open the door of the dilapidated house. It seemed that Long Er used the Sun to set the surrounding weeds on fire, which made her feel a little hot. As soon as the woman pushed open the door, she saw Lingyi raising his flaming fist and attacking Leo. She screamed, "Leo! Run!"

The woman's exclamation did not stop Long Er's movements, and Ling Yi's arm continued to rush forward. However, Ling Yi's soul heard the cry and immediately controlled his body: "Hmm? Is there anyone else? Wait for Long Er!"

"Why wait? If he dares to hurt Xiaoyi, or his face! He must die!" Long Er's voice was full of complaints and hatred, and he stretched out his hand to Leo's cheek without hesitation.

"Stop!" Lingyi roared loudly, and finally regained control of half of his body. He grabbed Long Er's fist that was about to hit Leo with his right hand.

"Xiaoyi! What are you doing!" Long'er scolded Lingyi, but Leo's cheek was already close to him, and he tried hard to break free from Lingyi's arms.

But Lingyi stopped not only because he heard the woman's cry, but also because Leo's "Sunday" made Lingyi confused, and he tried hard to suppress his left hand controlled by Long Er. After a while, Long Er finally calmed down, and Lingyi gently patted the back of his left hand.

"It's okay, I'll take care of it, just go back first." Lingyi said softly, but Lingyi's left eye floated towards Lingyi, and then floated towards Leo, stuck out his tongue at Leo, and then gradually disappeared, of course using Lingyi's body.

The blue light on the left half of the body gradually faded, and then the flame on Zero One's left hand also dissipated, and the golden lines on his right hand also disappeared. Also disappearing were the surrounding burning flames and the circle of fire surrounding Zero One and Leo.

Seeing the woman in the house staggering out of the door of the broken house, she came to Leo's side and supported Leo's body: "Leo, how are you, Leo?"

"No, it's okay, Alice... cough cough!" Leo was still holding on. After the woman came to his side to support him, he couldn't help but cough up a mouthful of blood and fell to the ground. Fortunately, the woman supported him and he didn't fall down immediately.

But the woman's physical condition looked very bad, and she couldn't support Leo's body, and they both fell to their knees.

"Alice? Leo?" Lingyi tried to call out the two names that he was concerned about.

"Huh? Do you know me?" The woman seemed to hear her name being called and immediately raised her head, but facing this man who was about to force Leo into a dead end, the woman's expression did not look friendly, but rather a little fearful.

But when the woman raised her head tremblingly and saw Lingyi's face, her pupils contracted instantly, big drops of tears soaked her eye sockets, and her lips trembled as she looked at the black-haired man standing in front of her.

"You, are you... Xiaoyi?" The woman looked at Lingyi's cheek and tried to call out the name that had worried her for a long time.

"Yes, it's me, I'm Zero One." Zero One immediately knelt on the ground. After seeing Zero One, the woman could no longer bear the joy of reunion. She opened her arms and hugged Zero One's neck, crying bitterly while holding Zero One.

"Xiaoyi, I thought you were dead!" The woman groaned in pain, but Lingyi hurriedly patted the woman's back. It seemed that this woman was Alice, his childhood playmate, and the skinny boy with yellow hair in front of him was really the Leo in his memory.

"No, don't shout my name so loudly now, it's too conspicuous." Lingyi immediately dissuaded Alice when he heard his name.

"Zero-One? Is it really you?" Leo saw Alice so happy that he couldn't tell who the man in front of him was for a moment, "No, that's not right, you... why do you have black hair?"

"Of course it's a disguise." Lingyi said, gently tapping the earrings on his earlobes, and the black earrings instantly turned colorful. Then Lingyi's long hair, which was as dark as the night, immediately shed its black coat and instantly turned into a refreshing snow-white color.

When Leo saw the snow-white short hair, his eyes immediately changed from dull to bright, and he said excitedly: "Zero..."

Before Leo could finish his words, Lingyi immediately covered his mouth: "Shh! Don't shout, don't shout!"

Leo immediately understood and nodded, and Lingyi let go of his hand, but Leo still shouted out loudly: "It's really you!"

"Oh my God, can't you be a little gentler?" Lingyi covered his mouth, somewhat unable to adapt. Leo's voice was indeed too loud. One of Lingyi's ears was immersed in Alice's crying, while the other ear was also disturbed by Leo's noise.

"Oh, yes, yes, but it's great that you're back from the dead!" Leo said, and opened his arms to hug Zero One, with Alice in between, or it would be better to say that it was two grown men hugging each other with a girl in between.

"Zero-One, Zero-One! I'm so happy to see you again!"

"No, can't you keep your voice down? Alas, you haven't changed in all these years."

"You two... please consider me..."

"Oh, Alice, I'm sorry for pinning you down."

"Hey Alice, you're just in the way. Get out of the way. Let me and Lingyi hug for a while longer."

"Hey!"

……

The three of them hugged each other for a long time at the door of the shabby house, then reluctantly separated and entered Leo's shabby house together.

The door of the dilapidated house was so dilapidated that it was difficult to open. It took the combined efforts of Zero-One and Leo to open both doors.

Entering the shabby house, a sour and stinky smell hit Lingyi's face, which made his nose sore. He almost couldn't hold back tears. He quickly covered his mouth and nose and stepped into the house. The house was messy and there were cobwebs everywhere. There was not even a decent table and chair. There was only an old wooden bed and a mat on the ground by the window.

Alice pulled Lingyi to sit at the head of the bed, while Leo sat on the mat with one hand on the edge of the bed. Lingyi looked around the broken house. The sky outside could be vaguely seen through the roof. He couldn't help but ask curiously, "You two... live here?"

"There's nowhere else to go. This is the only place where we can stay." Leo said unhappily.

"Didn't you two enter the Royal Adventure Academy? Why have you ended up in such a situation now?" Lingyi asked puzzledly.

Alice and Leo lowered their heads together: "Don't mention it. I don't know how we managed to survive these five years." Leo said unhappily.

"Ah? What happened at the academy?" Lingyi asked puzzledly.

"Both of us will be expelled from the college this year." Alice lowered her head and said a little aggrievedly.

"Expelled? Why? Did you two do something wrong?" Lingyi asked in confusion again. He couldn't understand why two geniuses who started earlier than him in childhood, especially Alice, had fallen to the point where they had to steal other people's meat buns to fill their stomachs.

"The thing is, this is..."

……

"When Leo and I first entered the academy, we were able to enter the cabinet because we awakened our magic power on our own. So we didn't have to pay tuition. The first year was fine and our classmates were very tolerant of us. The problem occurred in our second year."

"In the second year, all freshmen have to take another assessment test. Those who fail to unlock their levels will be held back and learn the same content again with the next batch of freshmen. This is what happened to Alice and me. We didn't unlock our levels successfully in the first year and ended up being held back. Thinking back, it was really frustrating."

"But what's worse is that in the third year, Leo and I failed to unlock levels twice, so our cabinet qualifications were revoked. Leo and I can only become ordinary students, and we have to pay a high tuition fee of 1 gold coin every year. We can't earn that much money in a year just by relying on the Adventurer's Guild."

"We just kept learning the first-level knowledge. If we hadn't contacted our parents later, we wouldn't have stayed in the academy for so long. But even so, Alice and I had to do odd jobs every day. Besides, we had already learned enough knowledge, so there was no need to learn it again and again. So we did odd jobs to earn money in the third and fourth years."

"But in the third and fourth years, it was still okay. At least we still lived in the dormitory of the academy. But starting from the fifth year, we didn't want to add burden to our family, so we told them that we had unlocked our levels. Since then, we have been wandering around. Now we still owe the academy a year's tuition and we don't even have a place to live."

"Hey, maybe it would have been better if we had gone out with Zero One at the beginning."

……

After listening to their experiences over the years, Lingyi felt sad and had an indescribable feeling.

"So, you can only live here now?" Lingyi pointed to the roof of the dilapidated house.

"Where else can I live?" Leo smiled jokingly, "I really have no other choice. I can only do this. There are hooligans who come to harass us from time to time. Otherwise, I wouldn't fight with you. I thought you were a thug they hired."

"You really have forgotten your best friend's face, or have you..." Lingyi wanted to argue with Leo, but when Leo talked about the battle with him, he realized that Leo had just vomited blood after being injured by Long Er in the battle with him. Because the current situation of Leo and Alice was too unexpected, Lingyi had forgotten about it and hurriedly asked, "By the way, Leo, are you okay?"

"It's okay, it's okay, you... cough cough, your brother Lei is in good health!" Leo said confidently, patting his chest, but still coughed in pain.

Lingyi was also at a loss whether to laugh or cry when he saw Leo's look. This guy has always been strong since he was a child. He was obviously seriously injured but still pretending to be strong: "You really haven't changed at all. By the way, let me introduce you to each other." Lingyi said, and lifted the cloak that wrapped his clothes, revealing the maroon scarf underneath.

The moment Zero One was untied, the scarf was immediately untied and pulled to Zero One's thigh, revealing a little fox. After the little fox ran down Zero One's neck, it immediately turned into a human form. However, Zero One felt as if his right hand was grabbed by something, and was suddenly pulled up, standing straight in front of Alice and Leo.

Behind Lingyi, a pair of furry fox ears stood up. The furry tail was not excited to see Leo and Alice, but was tucked between its legs in fear, hiding behind Lingyi, grabbing Lingyi's clothes and peeking at Leo and Alice: "Hello, hello."

"Um, Xiaojiu, are you shy?" Lingyi asked curiously. After all, Lingyi was the only one accompanying him all the way, and it was the first time he saw Xiaojiu so flustered. Xiaojiu didn't dare to say anything, but just nodded slightly. Lingyi scratched his head and stretched out a hand to put it on Xiaojiu's head. Usually, Xiaojiu liked to touch her head, so Lingyi wanted to use this method to make Xiaojiu feel more at ease.

"Xiaoyi, she is..." Alice was puzzled when she saw a girl beside Lingyi.

"Oh, her name is Xiaojiu. Don't think she is a sub-human just because of her ears. She is a real fox with pure blood, who has cultivated into a human body." Lingyi continued to rub Xiaojiu's head and introduced Xiaojiu to Leo and Alice. Although Xiaojiu enjoyed it, she didn't dare to let go in front of Leo and Alice, and looked at Alice with special vigilance.
