It's so painful! So hard! So difficult!

Although Simon's smile was still quite bright and harmonious after leaving the competition, Bai Lin could still clearly sense his aura, which was close to that of a martial arts fanatic. To be honest, although she won this time, Simon's injuries didn't seem to be any worse than hers... If it happened again, she really didn't have much confidence in winning.

"Let's talk about it after you recover from your injuries. I don't always have time to practice martial arts. I still have to work to support my family... But thank you very much for helping me advance the medical expenses. Please tell me the amount and I will pay you back now-"

Simon waved his hand cheerfully and turned his head away. "No need. That little money is not worth such a good fight. Since you are also busy, let's fight again when we meet again."

After saying this, Simon, draped in a large black trench coat, walked away. He was a towering figure, and at this moment, he looked aloof. Even his expression had become calm and normal. If he were dressed in a more normal way, he would probably be the kind of muscular man who would appear to be just a burly figure walking down the street.

Who would have thought that this guy almost knocked Bai Lin down? Bai Lin couldn't help but sigh as he watched his figure gradually disappear into the distance.

The other world was truly marvelous. Although it was very tiring, she would still be happy to do it again if she had the time.

Bai Lin cast her gaze out the window. It was already getting dark. Logically, she should have been fighting late at night. Why was it so dark now?

A bad feeling suddenly surged into Bai Lin's heart. She swallowed her saliva and asked Kong, "How long have I been unconscious..."

"Well, it's been about a day, and now it's the afternoon of the second day. What happened?"

Kong answered Bai Lin's question casually, and Bai Lin sat up in bed. She seemed to have said "see you tomorrow" to Fei'er after they linked their fingers that day. If she broke her promise in this situation...

Seeing Bai Lin's panicked look, Kong also put on an expression that he had expected it, and pointed to the other side.

"I called the person you're looking for in advance. He's here."

Bai Lin looked to his right and was immediately met with a pair of cold and strange eyes. Her eyes were filled with dissatisfaction. Because they were too close, Bai Lin couldn't help but shrink back a little into the bed.

No wonder...I felt a little cold on the side of my face just now.

"I'm sorry, Fei'er. I didn't expect to get injured so badly from a boxing match. I kept you waiting for a while..."

Even though Bai Lin's words were not yet fully organized, he immediately began to speak incoherently. Fei'er seemed to have expected this scene to happen. She just sighed slightly and said,

"You are really a guy who won't stop."

It was very rare for Bai Lin to hear Fei'er's words of tolerance. Now Fei'er seemed to have become accustomed to sitting by Bai Lin's bedside waiting for her to wake up. But the words on Bai Lin's lips were immediately blocked. Faced with Fei'er's sudden change, she suddenly didn't know what to say. Thousands of words slowly merged into a simple sentence,

"sorry that I had you worried."

"Nothing." Fei'er replied calmly, then glanced at Kong and stared at her with cold eyes. As soon as Kong noticed this look, he immediately understood what he meant.

"The things I chose are all suitable for Bai Lin to do, so don't look at me like that."

What Kong said was not wrong, Bai Lin herself also thought so. However, it was true that it seemed that she had been getting hurt since she met Kong... But no matter how she thought about it, it was impossible for Kong to harm her. Being hurt all the time seemed much better than being dead all the time.

After resting for a while, and waiting for Bai Lin to walk normally, he took a walk with Fei'er. Then, it was time to find his girlfriend.

“…How could you do this in the city?!”

The first thing Bai Lin encountered was Katie's accusation, as he had expected.

Chapter 318 Haha, little liar

"Hahahaha... I went to a competition to earn some extra money, so I wasn't taking care of my health..."

Bai Lin explained with his hand on his forehead, feeling a little embarrassed, but he also looked like he wanted to just brush it off. Katie, who was sitting across the table, pouted and said,

"Bai Lin, ever since I promised you, you've become more and more arrogant. Have you forgotten that I clearly told you not to do anything reckless?"

Bai Lin changed his expression to a serious one and shook his head slightly.

"How could I possibly forget? Although I didn't expect it to get this far, to be honest, getting hurt is inevitable in this job. You understand the responsibility on my shoulders. You work hard in school, and I'm naturally working hard outside too."

The words that came out of Bai Lin's mouth were quite significant. Katie followed Bai Lin in the name of the village's shrine maiden, so she was naturally well aware of the responsibilities that the so-called Holy Son needed to bear. Hearing Bai Lin's words, Katie was stunned for a moment, and the reason for her stunnedness was naturally -

Is she going to talk about this kind of career stuff in front of me too?

In the past, Bai Lin had always prioritized daily life when facing Katie. He would generally go along with Katie's jokes and rarely mentioned his responsibilities. But now, things seemed to be changing.

"Why are we suddenly talking about something so serious?"

After thinking for a while, Katie couldn't help but say what she had said. Her eyes were not on Bai Lin. This was just a casual question. But Bai Lin, still in a casual tone, replied seriously.

"It's different now, isn't it? It's because after coming to this city, I realized that this responsibility really exists in me. Although I don't want to be a hero, I still have to think about my future--"

"Suppose, just suppose. One day, when this Camelan is under an all-out attack by the demons, I really can't guarantee that I can protect you and me. If I passively step forward at that time, it will definitely be too late. Only by starting now and accumulating every day can I shoulder my responsibility as the Son of God and regain the initiative for humanity. Therefore, taking risks is necessary. Even if it is against my will, I must do it."

The first half of her words were quite true. Bai Lin had no ambitions of becoming a hero. Even the spotlight was too exhausting, and she'd heard plenty of stories about heroes being criticized. The burden was too heavy to shoulder. She was just a otaku, just one that was just starting to grow up. She had no intention of carrying too much expectation. She simply hoped to live a stable life.

But the second half was something she came up with on the spur of the moment. Camelan was still quite safe, as evidenced by the fact that no monsters had ever appeared in the city. It was at least much safer than Dragon Blood Village. Living simply like this wouldn't be a problem. At least that's what Bai Lin thought.

But she absolutely cannot live in peace like this, because there is another person in her heart. She also wants to return to her original world, so she must work hard.

Katie looked at Bai Lin's eyes, and a glimmer of light flashed in her own eyes. Seeing this, Bai Lin continued to add,

"Katie, the reason I'm telling you all this is because you're already my girlfriend. We're both equally mature; this is the adult world. Even if it's hard work, you have to make sure the other person understands clearly. Do you prefer me to lie to you and say I'm fine? I always heal myself after every mission and always come back with no new injuries?"

Katie shifted her gaze to Bai Lin again, not meeting her gaze. Her eyes were unfocused, as if she was thinking about something. She shook her head slightly and softly denied,

"Of course not. If I find out you've lied to me, I'll punish you."

Uh... this little girl is the type who looks calm, but in fact, she is very turbulent inside. She can calmly say the word "punishment", so she must have thought of a punishment that will torture me. Bai Lin thought so and replied calmly.

"I definitely won't lie to you, so please bear with my injuries for a while—what are you doing?!"

"Yeah, I'm glad there's no damage here... otherwise it would be a shame..."

Bai Lin pushed Katie's hand away and asked in a somewhat embarrassed manner,

"Why are you doing this all of a sudden?"

Katie tilted her head innocently.

"No, can, thick, right?"

To outsiders, the words spoken with an innocent tone and cute expression were actually extremely dangerous in Bai Lin's eyes. She suddenly felt a greater pressure than when she was fighting Simon, and she couldn't help but realize that she had just said something that Katie could use to make a fuss.

"But, you should also be careful in public—"

Just as Katie was leaning towards Bai Lin again with an expression that made Bai Lin feel extremely threatened, a sound that was neither too loud nor too soft reached their ears.

"How disgusting! It's okay to be a black-eyed bastard, but he's so shameless that he doesn't even take a piss to look at himself—"

Before he finished speaking, a chair flew out of the air, clearly thrown by Bai Lin, who had a sullen expression on his face. The girl who had caused the sound was still stunned, staring at the chair, clearly terrified.

However, the chair was stuck in the air. Katie waved her hand and put the chair down steadily. She walked to Bai Lin's side, touched Bai Lin's hand, shook her head, and said softly beside her,

"We were in the wrong for taking the initiative, Bai Lin. It's okay, I'm used to this kind of situation."

Bai Lin didn't say anything, but her expression remained frozen. At Katie's persuasion, she once again sat back down in her seat and began to eat. But this time, Bai Lin's originally relaxed mood completely darkened.

“…It’s really okay.”

After a while, seeing that Bai Lin's expression was still not right, Katie added this. Bai Lin just nodded roughly, and in addition to being angry, he was still sighing:

Really? There are external enemies now. Will such guys appear among humans?

At this time, Bai Lin had already figured out how to take care of Katie besides taking care of her own affairs. After dinner, she adjusted her mindset and, with a relatively normal mood, pulled Katie towards the almost unused music classroom.

Chapter 319 Little Noble

I don't know why the Magic Academy has music classrooms, and several of them. Perhaps it's like schools in my original world, where people cultivate musicality and start music-related clubs. But there seem to be quite a few empty classrooms. At least for the past few days, this one has only been used by Bai Lin and Katie, and it feels quite nice.

"Speaking of which, besides rehearsals, have you thought about your costumes?"

After rehearsing for a while, Katie seemed to have remembered something and asked Bai Lin this question. Bai Lin, who was thinking about something, smiled reassuringly when she heard Katie's question.

"Don't worry, I've already thought of everything. I've already measured your size last time, so the costume will definitely be ready in time. I haven't confirmed the stage yet, so I'll go downstage in advance. Leave all these things to me, don't worry."

Because Bai Lin's tone and expression were too confident, much more confident and sunny than when she stood in front of others as a knight, Katie couldn't help but tease.

"Hey, if you're so good at this, why don't you consider making a living from it and not taking any risks."

Hearing this, Bai Lin couldn't help but be slightly stunned, but Bai Lin had just told Katie about the adventure. With her brain, it was impossible for her to forget it so quickly, so it was obvious that he was just teasing her. Bai Lin shrugged casually and said lightly,

"Don't be ridiculous. My level is only at the level of a campus performance, which is just a passing grade. And you have to train harder so that we can put on a better show. Come on, let's continue—"

Just then, the music classroom door opened. Bai Lin turned and looked toward the doorway. A red-haired, dark-blue-eyed female student pushed it open. She was pretty, with a decent figure. A group of other girls followed behind her, and from the sound of their voices, they seemed to be discussing something.

Bai Lin immediately frowned, not trying to hide the danger hidden in his eyes. As soon as the red-haired woman's eyes met Bai Lin's, she froze in place again.

Her body trembled with fear, but it only lasted for a short moment. She consciously took a step back and did not move forward, but just stood there. Bai Lin did not stop the pressure. Seeing that the woman did not speak, he asked in a cold tone,

"Is there a problem?"

This red-haired girl was the one who had been so mean in the cafeteria earlier, so Bai Lin naturally had no intention of giving her a good look. It was more like his mood, which had recovered slightly, was now much worse, like he was walking down the street and saw a bunch of bastards.

The red-haired girl seemed to suppress her inner fear, swallowed her saliva and asked,

"You're probably not from this school. I've never seen you even in senior year."

"I'm asking you, what's the matter?"

Bai Lin simply took a step forward and emphasized the second half of his sentence. The red-haired girl also took another step back, then stood back and continued,

"Why are you being so aggressive? This is the music classroom of our Great Magic Academy. Outsiders are not allowed to use it... and there's no reason to talk back to us students in such a disrespectful tone."

It was obvious that the red-haired girl just wanted to talk dirty to Bai Lin and save some face for herself. Bai Lin had seen many people who liked to stir up trouble. She smiled slightly and said,

"A student of the Grand Magic Academy? I can't believe a fellow like you, who spews so much shit, is a student at this prestigious institution. Honestly, if people outside knew what you were like, it would be a real disgrace to the school."

Bai Lin knew that when talking to this kind of person, she must not fall into her rhythm. She did not follow the red-haired girl's words and explain her identity. Instead, she attacked with reason and evidence. However, it seemed that the effect was not very good. The red-haired girl chuckled twice and said to Bai Lin,

"Are you mistaken? No one cares about that kind of nonsense—"

"You better stop it. Your powerful parents didn't give birth to someone like you so you can laugh at others. You were born noble but you can't even do the most basic things. Stop making me laugh."

Bai Lin interrupted her directly. She remembered Katie's words very clearly and did not attack her directly. Instead, she accused the girl more fiercely. At this moment, her figure seemed to be taller in the girl's eyes. Bai Lin's fingers were like swords, making the girl feel as if she was suffocating.

"Why are you silent? You wanted to save face in front of your sisters, but you realized that your actions are actually embarrassing your parents? Power isn't innate; it's wielded by some with the support of people's trust. Someone like you... in our place, you'd be thrown into a pig cage."

Bai Lin's pursuit was very simple, but every word was well-reasoned, pointing out the basic morality of human society. Before the girl could reply, some of the sisters behind her became anxious first, and one of them said directly,

"Who are you to speak to our Leah like that?"

Is this what the emperor is anxious about? Bai Lin shook his head helplessly.

"It's useless to insist on my identity. Even if I were just an ordinary citizen, I would have enough confidence to question you. But since you are so curious, I will tell you-"

Bai Lin casually took out the knight's medal from his waist, held it in front of him and said,

"I'm just a knight, Katie's knight. If I hear you speak disrespectfully to her again, I'm afraid I'll have to take some action."

Simple words, but very weighty. Since none of them saw Bai Lin throw the chair, the little follower also kept silent for the time being. However, the red-haired man still had cold sweat on his face, but he smiled contemptuously and said,

"Huh, so you're a knight, huh? Believe it or not, I can make sure you can't stay in the Knights Order with just one word."

Bai Lin still showed a slight smile with great composure.

"Try if you can. It doesn't really matter to me anyway. Even without this medal, I'm still Katie's knight and her lover. It's perfectly reasonable for me to teach you a lesson with my own hands, on behalf of your parents."

The red-haired girl called Leah gritted her teeth, probably because she was a little anxious.

Chapter 320 Fighting is worse than being a hooligan

She looked as if Bai Lin was right between her teeth, and she wanted to grind him into pieces with her teeth. Seeing Bai Lin's calm demeanor, she became more and more angry. But at least, Leah still had some brains. She knew that if she took action directly, she would be in the wrong, so she continued to try to provoke him.

"This classroom is not for a bastard and her dog, get me—"

"Although I don't know who this classroom is for, I can't believe it's for someone like you who has no family education."

Leah was halfway through her sentence when her eyes slipped away from Bai Lin for a moment. He appeared before her like a mysterious shadow, like a gust of wind. The sudden appearance startled Leah again, and the pressure Bai Lin brought to her increased dramatically in front of the group of girls.

Bai Lin, on the other hand, just had a very cold expression on her face, not even looking at Leah. She casually let her eyes wander, and said softly,

"I wonder if you think so, Leah?"

In school, the first person to strike is in the wrong; that's common sense. In her original world, Bai Lin had attended an art school for a while, so she was well aware of this. She understood this, and so did the other person. So, how could she force the other person to strike?

The answer was to exert pressure. When humans are terrified and panicked, they either retreat and flee, become paralyzed, or, due to mental instability, instinctively resort to physical force to protect themselves. Bai Lin knew that simply using the environment or something similar wouldn't frighten her to the point of paralyzing her. The remaining two answers would both help Bai Lin achieve her goal.

"Drive away the girl with the basket, or let her take action" This was Bai Lin's idea.

As expected, Leah, with her stubbornness and the aristocratic bearing, wasn't the type to run away. Powerful fire-attributed magic burst forth from her hand, placed beside her. Even in her panic, Bai Lin felt the heat rise. In her desperation, her hand shot directly towards Bai Lin's face.

Great! I chose the result I wanted to see more.

Bai Lin showed an evil smile without restraint. She was already wantonly exerting her oppressive power in front of this group of students, and she also brought malice into the hearts of all of them.

In her original world, there were some school rules. Whenever a fight broke out, regardless of who started it, the punishment was almost identical. In other words, it was not practical to fight back; as long as there was a certain degree of physical friction, both parties were in the wrong.

If this situation were to apply here, it would be extremely disadvantageous for Bai Lin. After all, the other party had a certain background and so many people were there. She might be fine, but Katie might be treated as a problem student. Therefore, Bai Lin naturally prepared a way to deal with it.

She stepped sideways, activated her circle, and reached out, all with unwavering ease. She perfectly dodged the attack, which seemed to her to be in slow motion, and in an instant, the result was achieved.

"Bah-"

The sound of cloth tearing rang out. Bai Lin easily tore off a lot of Leah's clothes, revealing the inner clothes that seemed to be printed with some animal patterns. Following Bai Lin's force, Leah fell backwards, and fell unevenly among her little sisters. The next moment, screams rang out.

"what----!"
