At this moment.
At the Dragon Knight Academy, in the sixth grade.
On a not-so-large private training ground, a young man stood bare-chested, sweat continuously dripping down, and the ground beneath his feet was already completely soaked. He swung the Dragon Slayer Sword in his hand. Each of his swings was meticulous and precise, identical to the previous one.
Suddenly, a shadow flickered beside him, and a masked man in black emerged from the shadows.
"Second Young Master."
The voice was low and hoarse, as if two pieces of wood were rubbing against each other.
"How did it go?"
The man continued to swing the Dragon Slayer Sword, his body as still as a statue.
"My subordinates just returned from the second grade. They didn't have a chance to act."
The man in black said.
"What, did the second grade also have enemies that were hard to deal with?"
The man asked, his tone becoming colder.
"Not exactly. Miss appeared, and not only that, she revealed her true identity and defeated all thirty-one of them."
The man in black's tone remained unchanged.
"What?"
The man was taken aback, throwing the Dragon Slayer Sword to the side. The sword hit the ground, creating a dent in the stone floor, showing just how heavy it was.
"Has her magical ability recovered?"
The man slightly moved his body, and the sweat was instantly evaporated by his aura.
"No, Miss used a very special combat technique. It was a martial art, but accompanied by a burst of magic. I have never seen such a fighting style."
The man in black's tone finally carried a hint of doubt.
"You wouldn't have seen it, it's a Magi-Fighter."
The man's cold lips finally showed a hint of warmth.
"This is the legendary Magi-Fighter! Indeed, she is powerful!"
The man in black said, not as flattery, but as a statement of fact.
"Yes, a powerful Magi-Fighter. Grandfather will likely receive the news soon. I wonder how he will react."
As he said this, the man's face turned cold again, lost in thought.
When Aileen reappeared in the first-year training ground, it immediately caused a sensation in the class. Especially when people realized that Aileen had been disguised as a boy and had lived in the same dormitory as Long Yi for a month, the sensation turned into a flurry of gossip. Some boys even began to suspect whether their roommates were actually cute girls, especially the more delicate boys in the class, who became the main targets of suspicion.
Some even speculated that Long Yi had known all along but just didn't say anything.
However, after the initial surprise, people gradually shifted their attention to Aileen.
Her shiny silver tight-fitting outfit was indeed very eye-catching, especially with her excellent figure, every curve was perfect, enough to make many of the female students in the class envious and jealous. Even those with good figures among them wouldn't dare to dress so boldly.
They might not dare to wear such clothes, but shoes were a different story.
Some girls noticed that Aileen's walking posture was somewhat unusual, more graceful than usual. Fashion-sensitive girls quickly noticed Aileen's pair of women's knight boots. Unlike the common styles, these boots had no combat value and were purely for aesthetics. This was exactly Long Yi's intention.
When Aileen joined the girls, and Long Yi saw the discussion among the girls shift from her good figure to her knight boots, he knew his idea was correct.
In both the old world and this one, no one could resist the allure of heels; it was a historical inevitability.
Oh, heavens, I, the sinner who casually pushes the wheels of history, please let the Dragon God punish me with gold coins!
The instructor came to Long Yi and asked softly, "Did you fight?"
Long Yi nodded, "Yes."
"Who fought?"
"Aileen."
"What was the result?"
"She won."
"Very good, I'll give you three days off. Rest well."
The instructor was in a very good mood. He had long known Aileen's secret and even thought she was done for. But now, Aileen was radiating a surging magical power. Regardless of how she did it, the instructor was in a great mood. After all, Aileen was the granddaughter of the Iron-Blooded General Kailon! If she could recover her strength under his guidance, it would at least allow him to leave the academy sooner, even if he couldn't go to the front lines, a logistics position on the battlefield would be fine.
"Alright, everyone, stop! I have some news. Aileen has just taken her revenge! One against thirty-one! And she won!"
The instructor announced.
Immediately, everyone was in shock. No one expected that Aileen, not only changed her appearance, but also became stronger! Could she be even stronger than Long Yi?
"Look at Aileen, and then look at yourselves. Do you still have time to chat? The opening ceremony of the academy is in a week! The strongest dragon knights, the best regiment commanders, and even the royal family will send representatives. As first-year students, you will be the focus of the inspection! If you can stand out, joining a regiment's reserve is almost a sure thing! Just remember, my regiment commander will also be there. If you embarrass me, don't blame me for making your life hell in the future!"
The students responded loudly. Everyone knew the importance of the opening ceremony. At the ceremony, there would be some routine performances. If you could do well, your future would be smooth sailing!
The three were given a break. Long Yi decided to go out to celebrate, but Wesley didn't leave. The reason was simple. Long Yi and Aileen's strength gave him too much pressure. Originally, it was just Long Yi, and at least Aileen and Wesley were together. But now that Aileen had become so strong, Wesley felt that among the three, he was the only one who was useless.
Long Yi didn't try to persuade him. Long Yi wasn't someone who believed in winning by force alone. He believed that any talent could find its place in battle, but he wasn't an educator. Just like his attitude towards Aileen, if he could do it, that was best, and he would help. If not, he wouldn't force it.
At this point, Long Yi's injuries weren't fully healed. However, after all the trouble, the pain wasn't as severe. Moreover, his near-exhaustion in helping Aileen had brought some benefits. Most notably, his aura seemed to be approaching the seventh level.
Leaving the academy, Long Yi and Aileen headed straight for the shoe store. This was Aileen's idea. A group of girls had been chattering about her knight boots, but Aileen had kept quiet about their origin. She considered it her secret and didn't plan to share it with anyone.
However, this piqued her interest in the boots. She wanted to see how Long Yi made them.
With nothing else to do, Long Yi took her and recreated the process from the morning.
They first bought five pairs of ordinary leather boots from the shoe store, and then Long Yi, based on his memory of women's leather boots from his previous life, had the store owner cut them into five pairs of different lengths. After that, Long Yi took Aileen to the blacksmith's shop, where Gold Hammer worked.
Gold Hammer only needed one look to see that Aileen's tight-fitting outfit was made of pure Shadow Silver. It was a pity that so much Shadow Silver wasn't used to make armor but was instead made into a tight-fitting outfit for a girlfriend. Even a young man in his prime shouldn't be so openly displaying his desires.
Especially since Shadow Silver was a metal that dwarves couldn't produce! Even a little bit would be fine!
Dwarves were very proud, and he had no intention of tearing a piece from Aileen's outfit, but he secretly resolved to get some from Long Yi in the future.
Maybe this kid had even brought Light Silver!
Yes, some Light Silver too!
While the dwarf Gold Hammer was busy with his machinery, Long Yi started hammering the metal, making the leather, the armor plates, and the heels. This time, he made some higher heels. After completing them, he handed them to Gold Hammer, who immediately used the machine to cut and polish them. After rust-proofing, these shiny metals were attached to the leather boots.
Long Yi handed the boots to Aileen and said, "These are all for you. Keep the ones you like, and if you have good friends, you can give them some."
Long Yi's plan was good. He wanted Aileen to be a model and a spokesperson. He wanted to create his own luxury brand! He wanted to make money! He was from another world! He wanted to make money!
Aileen's face turned red as she took the boots. Each one had a completely different design, but they all retained the basic style of women's knight boots.
Give them away?
She couldn't bear to!
Seeing Aileen's expression, Gold Hammer came over.
"Kid, maybe you're right. This little thing really can make money."
"Why did you suddenly change your mind, Uncle?" Long Yi smiled.
"Look at that girl, holding the boots like a dwarf holding a pile of gold coins. If all human girls are like that, you'll really make a fortune." Dwarves were very business-savvy and knew what could make money.
Long Yi laughed.
"Uncle, I can tell you, at least eight out of ten are like that."
"Good! We'll do this business!"
On the way back, Long Yi carried the bag, and Aileen followed by his side. Neither of them spoke, not knowing what to say. After dinner, they returned to the dormitory together. Long Yi, exhausted from the day, climbed into bed.
"Good night."
Long Yi said.
"Um, good night."
Aileen said.
Long Yi was ready to sleep well, planning to discuss the details with Uncle Gold Hammer the next day.
However, just as Long Yi was about to drift off to sleep, he suddenly woke up.
Something was wrong!
What was wrong? Did I forget something?
Suddenly, Long Yi's body stiffened. He turned his head and saw Aileen lying on her side, her back to him. The silver curves of her body were even more alluring in the dim light from the window. Especially her long legs and slender waist. It was truly a sight to behold from any angle.
An ancient poem surfaced in his mind.
Oh no.
Aileen is a girl now!
