The Hero in Exile

"What...what happened?"

Lingyu became more panicked when she saw the two people being excited. Because of the loud noise, people on the training ground all looked over here at the same time.

"You are indeed a hero. You can learn high-level magic like Pyroblast just by meditation." Bourne said with admiration.

"As one of the best wizards in the empire, I still had to study for nearly half a year and have someone to guide me before I could learn it. Why, why..."

Phil, who couldn't bear the blow, sat down in the corner and talked to himself, but it seemed that this was indeed a powerful magic.

"Why not take this opportunity to cast a Pyroblast and see how powerful it is, and target that tree." Bourne pointed to a tree on a distant mountain.

"Okay, I'll try it." Lingyu also wanted to confirm the power of this spell. He felt the magic power in his body and gathered it in his hand to form a small fireball. "Go." The fireball flew towards the tree at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Boom boom boom——

A huge crater was blown out on the top of the mountain, and only the thick smoke could prove what had just happened. Everyone on the training ground looked at Lingyu with surprise and more respect.

"Is it okay?" Lingyu looked at Bourne uncertainly.

Bourne opened his eyes wide and couldn't move away from that position. "There is hope for this war between humans and demons." It took him a long time to utter these words, and it seems that the effect is very good.

Lingyu was just now worried about what to do if the power was reduced, but it seemed that the worry was unnecessary, so she breathed a sigh of relief and smiled knowingly.

"Hey, Phil, get up. It's time to go back." Phil sat quietly on the lawn looking at the explosion site, his thoughts drifting away with the thick smoke.

Lingyu poked Phil worriedly, and Phil simply fell to the other side with his hands around his knees and lifeless eyes.

"I have studied for at least two years and used up most of my magic power before I can unleash this power. Why, why..." It seems that after refreshing my cognition twice, it will take some time to recover from this state.

"Lingyu, this is your room. After taking a shower, we will go to have a meal. I'll take my leave first." After saying that, Bourne went back to his room.

My room was the same one I had woken up in before. I could see from inside that there was nothing much except a big bed and some furniture.

Phil lives next door to me. After a day of exercise, he still has to change his clothes because he is covered in sweat and smells bad. I seem to remember Vida saying that clothes and other supplies are fully prepared here.

Lingyu couldn't believe her eyes. Why were all the clothes in the closet exactly the same as what she was wearing? The only difference was that there were white and black stockings stacked in the drawer below.

"Can it be more outrageous? It's fine if it's just one piece of clothing, but you really want me, a grown man, to wear stockings, damn Vida." Lingyu complained in despair, and secretly thought that he must treat him to the Inflammation Explosion Technique next time they meet.

"Phil why doesn't my room have a bathroom."

Lingyu searched for a long time but couldn't find that there was no bathroom in her room. There was only a toilet and a living room, so she had to go to Phil to ask about the situation.

"Oh, Bourne forgot to tell you that there is no bathroom here. You have to take a shower in the bathhouse. However, the bathhouse has hot springs so you can relax." Phil didn't notice that Lingyu had a few frowns on his face.

"Oh, is that... like this?"

"Well, then hurry up and prepare clothes and towels and we'll go in later." Phil couldn't wait to start packing things in the room.

Lingyu numbly returned to the room and lay on the big bed. Is this a crime? If someone finds out that I used to be a man, then it's impossible. How could I be discovered? Only Vida knows about this.

After convincing myself, I started looking for the things I needed in the room, towels, clothes, soap, and a wooden basin. There should be nothing I forgot to bring.

"It's so slow. I've already imagined how it feels like in the hot spring. Let's go quickly." Phil was jumping in front and leading the way.

Finally they arrived at the bathhouse. One side was the men's bathhouse and the other side was the women's bathhouse. Phil had already gone in, and Lingyu was wandering at the door in embarrassment.

"Oh, what a coincidence." The voice came from Bourne. Looking at his half-naked appearance with a towel wrapped around him, there was no doubt that he was going to the bathhouse.

"What a coincidence."

"Well? Is there any problem? Why don't you go in?" Bourne asked Lingyu who was in trouble.

"Oh, it's okay, I'll go in right away." After talking for a while, he seemed to be mentally prepared and walked in.
