I don't want to be a heroic spirit

Okita Souji had rarely looked at the scenery as carefully as he did now.

I didn’t understand it when I was young, but when I grew up a little, I became busy. All I could see was the destination in the distance and the backs of people nearby who were gradually leaving me behind. How could I have time to appreciate the scenery?

The idea she received since she was a child is that time is limited and you must seize this limited time to do things.

Seize the limited time to study, seize the limited time to make progress, and even seize the limited time to play.

This is normal, after all, everything in this world is limited.

But now thinking back, the happiest time in her life was when she was doing nothing and wasting time.

Look at the scenery outside the window, listen to the rustling of leaves in the wind, lie on the recliner and feel the warm sun on your body, use grandma's mahjong to build a house, climb up and down the slightly rusty fitness equipment downstairs, climb up the rockery to watch the red carp swimming in the pond...

How long has it been since I felt such a leisurely mood?

"It's nice to walk around alone sometimes."

With Okita Souji's A+ agility, it wouldn't take her much time to get home from the academy, but she insisted on walking back step by step. By the time she got home, it was already completely dark.

As soon as he entered the door, Souji Okita didn't even have the chance to shout "I'm back" before he was greeted with a bear hug.

"Oh! My lovely sister is back! Hug her and hug her~~"

"Sister...I'm a little embarrassed."

Edwards' soft little face kept rubbing against his face, making Okita Souji blush for a moment.

Especially this time, he rubbed it for three minutes without letting go.

"Sister! Sister Xiaoai! My skin is about to be rubbed off!"

This is why Souji Okita is so afraid of Edwards. After all, this love is really heavy.

But... although it was a bit troublesome, Okita Souji didn't find it annoying.

"Did Souji bring a gift for sister?"

After entering the room, Edelweiss suddenly smiled and stretched out her hand to Okita Souji, asking her for a gift, which made Okita Souji stunned.

"what?"

"Isn't this often the case in novels? The husband brings gifts to his wife after returning from a business trip for several days. To comfort me after not seeing my lovely sister all day, shouldn't you bring me a gift or something?"

In response to this, Okita Souji could only answer with a pair of dead fish eyes.

"There's no such thing. Sister, please read less random novels in the future."

"If Souji stayed by my side all the time, I wouldn't have read those novels."

Edwards crossed his arms over his chest and said this in a tone that said, "It's all your fault that I'm like this."

So, the problem is still with me?

Okita Souji sighed helplessly, then walked past Edwards and into the house.

After all, it’s not suitable to continue wearing school uniforms at home.

"Soji, you lack a sense of ceremony. You won't find a boyfriend if you're like this."

The sudden words coming from behind made Okita Souji almost hit his toes on the corner of the table.

"Why do I have to find a boyfriend?"

Having a boyfriend is impossible! It’s impossible in this life!

I have to find a female one!

"Hmm? Souji, you don't want to find a boyfriend?" Edwards tilted his head in confusion and thought for a moment, "Then... a girlfriend?"

"..."

Okita Souji's face flushed as bright red as a crabapple blossom, and his amber eyes glanced to the side.

“…That’s impossible.”

After all, I have never been popular with women since I was a child.

Which girl would be blind to fall in love with me?

At this moment, Souji Okita suddenly felt something sticking to his back.

A beautiful voice, as if singing, rang close to my ears, bringing with it a hint of joy.

"Soji doesn't want a boyfriend, nor does he want a girlfriend. Do you plan to be single forever?"

"... I'll be single forever."

As if in a fit of anger, Okita Souji pouted his lips and replied with a nonchalant expression.

"If Souji plans to stay single forever..."

Edwards's snow-white arms gently wrapped around Okita Souji's neck, and his fair little face rubbed against Okita Souji's face.

"Does that mean... Souji, you'll stay by your sister's side for the rest of your life?"

"How can it be that exaggerated?"

Chapter 76: The Reason Why Okita Souji Came to Pojun Academy

On this day, the first day of the much-anticipated "Seven Star Sword Dance Representative Selection Competition" finally began.

The venue is a competition arena shaped like a dome. In the enclosed space, many students and teaching staff who do not have any competition arrangements at the moment are sitting in the audience, looking forward to the upcoming grand competition.

"Go! The much-anticipated battle for the Seven Star Sword Dance representative has finally begun!"

The commentator's voice also actively drives the emotions of all the audience.

"The next contestants to take the stage are the second-year C-rank Knight, Ryuyue Yamai! and the first-year D-rank Knight, Souji Okita!"

Following the commentator's passionate introduction, a figure in heavy armor appeared on the ring.

Because of his appearance, the audience erupted in cheers like a tsunami.

"As a C-rank knight, Ryuyue Yamai has great potential to become one of the representatives of this Seven Star Sword Dance Festival. His heavy armor not only provides a perfect sense of security, but also possesses a tremendous force that can shake the earth!"

Yamai Ryuyue, who was wearing heavy armor, exhaled a breath of white air, and the eye area in the helmet flashed red light.

However, the people present waited for a long time, but Yamai Ryuyue's opponent did not come out from the opposite passage.

"Hey! Where did that guy go?"

"You're not going to run away like a coward, are you?"

"Can you please stop wasting our time?"

Gradually, the people in the audience became impatient.

"How dare you keep me waiting? You're so brave!"

In the audience, in an unnoticed corner, there were two figures.

One is tall, the other is petite.

The one who spoke just now was the petite one, wearing a loose kimono that made people worry that it would fall off at any moment. There was a huge red bow tied behind her head, and she held a folding fan to cover her slightly impatient face.

"If you want, you can go find her and teach her a lesson."

"How much do you wish for my death?"

The beautiful woman in kimono glared at the person next to her angrily.

The tall man is the person with the highest status in this academy, the chairman, Shinguji Kurono.

Anyone who dares to speak to the former world number three in this way is certainly not an ordinary person.

The girl in kimono is named Saikyo Ningyin, and she has replaced the retired Shinguji Kurono to become the third most powerful swordsman in the world.

After Shinguji Kurono became the chairman of the board of directors of Pojun Academy, she pulled her good friend Xijing Ningyin over to be a teacher.

Xijing Ningyin's ability is more than enough to be a teacher, but her personality gives Shinguji Kurono a headache.

Because Xijing Ningyin couldn't help but tease every handsome male student she met, Shinguji Kurono didn't know how many reports she had received about teachers teasing students because of her.

Xijing Ningyin glanced at Shinguji Kurono with disdain.

She knew that ever since the world's strongest swordsman came and scared Shinguji Kurono half to death, Shinguji Kurono had been thinking about how to let Xijing Ningyin experience the same feeling she had at that time.

How does the saying go? I can tolerate not having a good life myself, but I cannot accept that my brothers (sisters) have a better life than me.

Otherwise I will feel unbalanced!

Shinguji Kurono has this kind of mentality.

I can't be the only one who suffers! I have to drag you into this together no matter what!

Because Souji Okita was late in arriving, a countdown started on the big screen.

If Okita Souji has not arrived at the end of the countdown, it will be considered a forfeit and her opponent will win.

Shinguji Kurono folded her arms across her chest and looked at the big screen above her head.

"She's not really coming, is she?"

"It's possible. Rather, as that person's sister, I really don't understand why she would want to participate in this kind of competition."

Shinguji Kurono took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket, took out a cigarette skillfully and put it in his mouth, then took out a lighter to light it and took a puff with melancholy.

"Before I came here, I expected this to be a mess... but I didn't expect it to be this bad."

Xijing Ningyin nodded, as if agreeing with what Shinguji Kurono said.

"When I first saw her, I felt she was extraordinary. I never thought she was actually that person's sister... She's too extraordinary, isn't she?"

"Oh, yes, I think you said that you were following a freshman, but not only was you discovered, you even lost him." Shinguji Kurono said with sudden realization, "And then you asked me for that freshman's information."

Unlike Shinguji Kurono who is a pure mage, Saikyo Ningyin not only possesses the ability to destroy the world, but also learned from the "Fighting God" Nango Torajiro, and is also good at fighting.

In particular, the special footwork called "Pull the Foot" can slip into the opponent's subconsciousness and make the opponent subconsciously ignore her.

The principle is that the information humans can accept is limited. For example, when walking, although your eyes can see the stones on the side of the road, you will not care about them. You will regard this part of the information as junk information and ignore it. "Pulling enough" means making the other party regard you as this part of the junk information. Even if you stand in front of the other party, you will be subconsciously ignored.

Although she is not as good as her master, Nango Torajiro, Saikyo Ningyin is also extremely good at drawing enough, and almost no one in the entire academy can detect her whereabouts.

Whether students or teachers.

However, such a person appeared and not only found her, but also got rid of her. What's more important is that this person is not a formal magic knight, but just a freshman who just enrolled this year. It's no wonder that Xijing Ningyin was so surprised.

But now, when we learn that this new student is the sister of the world's strongest swordsman...it doesn't seem so surprising anymore.

"So, with a sister like that, why would she still attend Pojun Academy?"

Xijing Ningyin fanned her face gently with a folding fan. "Or rather, what can she learn in this academy?"

"Perhaps, they're not here to study, but to experience campus life?" Shinguji Kurono pondered amidst the cloud of smoke. "Or perhaps, they're looking for a rival of their own age?"

"I think it's difficult," Xijing Ningyin retorted without hesitation. "Although one of the new students this time is Princess Famillion, who has the highest magical power in the world, in my opinion, she's still too immature and is definitely no match for Okita Souji. If last year's Seven Star Sword King is any guide, there probably won't be anyone who can rival her in this Seven Star Sword Dance... Maybe she realized this and didn't come to the competition."

"No, I'm not talking about them."

At this moment, a seemingly ordinary but extremely resolute and upright figure suddenly appeared in Shinguji Kurono's mind.

"Perhaps... I already know the reason why she came to our academy."

Chapter 77: The Battle That Ended in an Instant (3/31)

When everyone thought that Souji Okita had given up, Souji Okita finally arrived in a school uniform.

She was not late on purpose, but because she was still giving special training to Kurogane Ikki.

That’s right, even though he knew he had a match today, Souji Okita was still giving Ikki Kurogane special training on his mind!

The competition times between students are staggered. Today is Okita Souji's match, tomorrow is Stella and Kurogane Shushizuku's, and the day after tomorrow is Kurogane Ikki's.

Therefore, Okita Souji must make Kurogane Ikki learn the mind's eye before the day after tomorrow.

So, everyone who had been waiting for a long time saw Souji Okita with dust on his clothes rushing to the competition venue in a hurry.

"What happened to that freshman? Did he fall on the way here?"

"Why are you still coming up here? Wouldn't it be easier to just admit defeat?"

Because they had waited too long, some irritable people began to slander Okita Souji.

There was no soundproofing device on the huge circular arena. Although the sounds from the audience were a bit far away, the two people on the arena could still hear them.
