Chapter 86

The ground was destroyed, and with Ryūichi's shocking performance just now, at least the second-year training ground could no longer be used. However, the academy had a very considerate private training ground rental service. As long as you paid a certain amount, you could obtain the right to use a private training ground for a period of time.

However, these training grounds required academic credits to purchase.

Ryūichi glanced at his wristband and found that he actually had more than ten thousand credits. It turned out that the 'last signature of the three-star clown before his failure' he had sold was anonymously bought by someone.

Ryūichi didn't care who bought it. In his view, there were definitely many crazy fans or people who wanted to mock the three-star clown. If someone was willing to spend credits, and he earned them, it was a mutually beneficial arrangement.

There were two types of training grounds: one was a large training ground that allowed flying dragons to train, and the other was a small training ground for dragon knights only. The rent for the large training grounds started at five thousand credits, which was certainly not what Ryūichi needed.

For five hundred credits, Ryūichi rented a spacious and well-equipped private training ground, and he and Ailin went inside. This time, Ryūichi was very focused on training Ailin's combat skills. To be honest, whether in terms of learning progress or physical coordination, Ailin could be considered excellent. The only thing she lacked was combat experience. So from the beginning, Ryūichi planned to put pressure on Ailin.

However, before Ryūichi could put pressure on her, Ailin had already launched a strong attack. This time, Ailin was unusually serious. Every attack and defense was done with all her might, unlike her usual self.

In the past, when Ailin trained with Ryūichi, perhaps because Ryūichi was too lenient, or because Ailin was too talented, she always seemed to be not very focused. She could learn things easily, practice a little to become familiar, and consolidate a bit to master them.

But this time, Ryūichi saw the ambition in Ailin's eyes.

It was a desire for power.

Could it be that the words 'I won't protect Ailin' had stimulated her? If so, that would be great! It proved that his goal had been achieved!

The talented Ailin naturally had a fast training speed. Her combat skills improved almost under Ryūichi's watch. After a few times of exhaustion, Ryūichi wanted Ailin to rest, but she stubbornly shook her head and attacked Ryūichi again. After enduring the exhaustion, Ailin felt a mysterious and powerful force surge into her body, rejuvenating her! Ailin knew that this was the power of the dragon. Ailin and her dragon, Silverlight, were merging, but since they were two completely different life forms, the process was slow and ongoing.

With the help of combat, this merging process would continuously accelerate, and the rejuvenation after exhaustion was one of the benefits of this merging.

However, Ailin's original body was still that of a frail little girl. After the ninth time of exhaustion, her body had reached its limit, and the dragon's vitality no longer flowed into her. Ailin's punch was halfway through when she suddenly screamed, lost her balance, and fell forward. At this moment, Ailin had lost all her strength, and the ground was hard black stone. If she fell, the little girl would likely be disfigured. Ailin was still exerting force, and she fell very quickly. Despite noticing, Ryūichi had no good way to stop her. He rushed forward, slid, and got under Ailin's body, trying to catch her with his hands.

Then, he felt a dark shadow, a fragrant breeze, and their lips collided. Immediately, a bloody smell spread in the air.

No way, did they actually break their lips?

Ryūichi looked up and saw a trace of blood on Ailin's lips, but it wasn't obvious.

"Are you okay?"

Ryūichi asked.

"I'm fine..."

Ailin's expression was a bit strange.

"Don't worry, it's just a minor scratch, not very obvious. With our physical conditions, it should heal in one or two hours."

Ryūichi said.

"Okay, I know."

Ailin nodded, her face turning even redder, but that was probably from exhaustion, right?

"Actually, you were a bit too intense. When you're out of energy, you should stop. Look, if you fall and hurt your delicate face, your second brother will definitely come after me."

Ryūichi said.

"Okay, I know."

Ailin said.

"Don't just say you know, get up quickly."

Ryūichi moved, trying to get up.

"I, I don't have any strength left."

Ailin said softly, her face turning even redder.

"Alright, I'll help you up."

Ryūichi, feeling helpless, but in the next moment, his helpless expression froze!

Because he finally realized where the wonderful sensation in his hands came from!

It was sacred territory! A place that should not be violated! Whether you were an emperor ruling a vast empire or a demon king wreaking havoc, only there did you receive life!

This... isn't appropriate, right?

Ryūichi felt his hands cramp. He glanced at Ailin's face and saw that the girl's face was already red to the point of turning purple, and her breathing was getting heavier. He hurriedly tried to get up but heard Ailin let out a soft hum. It turned out that Ailin was sitting on one of Ryūichi's thighs... and with his movement, there was some friction.

Damn!

Was he, the great Ryūichi, actually molesting a girl? Elsa would be angry, and he couldn't even bear it himself!

With both hands, he supported Ailin, who was already weak and limp, and reluctantly... no, decisively opened his hands, held Ailin's shoulders, and lifted her body, moving her to the side.

Then, it was an awkward moment.

Ailin lay on the ground, her face flushed, her silver hair scattered messily. She didn't seem to care and stared straight at Ryūichi, while Ryūichi looked awkward, his eyes darting around.

"Brother Ryūichi."

Ailin's weak voice came, and Ryūichi immediately turned his head, locking his gaze on Ailin's face, not looking elsewhere.

"What, Ailin?"

The honest Ryūichi asked with a righteous tone.

"That was my first kiss..."

Ailin said weakly again.

Ryūichi felt like he was about to spit blood. What should he do? Should he deny it and say it was just a collision? Would she make him take responsibility? Should he educate her that a passive kiss definitely wouldn't result in a baby?

"This definitely isn't Brother Ryūichi's first kiss, right..."

Ailin's weak voice came again.

Ryūichi nodded stiffly.

"Brother Ryūichi's first kiss was with Sister Elsa, right..."

Ryūichi nodded.

"Oh, that's good..." Ailin laughed softly.

Ryūichi was directly stunned.

Good? Good what? What's good about it? Girl, don't speak in half-sentences, okay? What do you mean by that? It sounds like you and a violent girl have some secret deal!

After that, Ailin didn't say anything more and didn't continue staring at Ryūichi. The honest Ryūichi stared at the ground, looking at the natural patterns on the black stone, one forming an S shape, another forming a B shape.

Suddenly, Ryūichi laughed softly. Just go with the flow, why worry so much?

Seeing the awkwardness on Ryūichi's face disappear and a smile appear, Ailin's heart, which had been pounding, finally calmed down, and a sense of excitement from doing something naughty without getting caught gradually arose.

I did it on purpose!

Every time she thought of this, Ailin's face turned even hotter.

Actually, Ailin had completely exhausted her strength at that moment, but when she saw Ryūichi rushing over, she didn't know where the strength and reaction came from, and she inexplicably leaned in with her lips!

It must be Instructor Yavini's doing!

Ailin said fiercely in her heart, blaming her action on Yavini, who was somewhere unknown.

The outcome was exactly as Ailin had expected, but she had slightly lost control of her strength, breaking both of their lips. However, what made Ailin happiest was that the embarrassed Ryūichi had no idea she had done it on purpose!

Hmph, I am a genius after all!

Boom!

Just as she was thinking this, Ailin's body suddenly emitted a brilliant silver light, which rose into the sky and transformed into the image of the flying dragon Silverlight.

"Ah, I advanced."

Ailin said.

Ailin, ninth-level magic power.

At this point, Ryūichi was too lazy to be jealous. Ryūichi had a good foundation and trained hard. But Ailin was truly a genius! She could advance by reading books, and a serious night of training could also make her advance. Would she advance by eating and sleeping in the future? This girl must be from another world!

After resting for a while, although Ailin had advanced, her exhausted strength had not yet recovered. She had been a bit too eager, and her body wasn't ready.

There was no choice. With Ailin's eyes like a kitten in a cardboard box, Ryūichi could only reach out and carry her horizontally. Ailin giggled and buried her face in Ryūichi's chest.

Ryūichi also chuckled, no longer feeling awkward. After all, he had already seen and touched her, so why pretend to be a gentleman?

The private training room had a very nice resting area, complete with everything except a kitchen. Ryūichi carried Ailin into the resting area, laid her on the bed to rest, and went out to prepare some late-night snacks.

Yeah, it's better to leave quickly. If I stay any longer, who knows what this girl will do.

But, wait, no matter what she does, I don't lose anything, so why should I run?

No, no, no! Ryūichi, you are an honest person! You can't do that! If you do something, you'll be a beast!

No! If you don't do it, you're even worse than a beast! Look at the little girl, she's right in front of you! Can you resist? Are you still a man?

Damn! A man must take responsibility! Have a sense of duty! Eating what's in front of you is what pigs do; learning to refuse is what humans do!

It was about one o'clock in the morning, and the academy was almost empty.

The poor honest Ryūichi was severely criticizing himself, deeply engaging in self-criticism.

Because if he didn't do this, he would feel a growing evil fire in his body!

Damn, I'm only eighteen! I'm still in my youth! If this continues, I'll end up relying on my two lifelong friends, Little Left and Little Right!

This won't do, this absolutely won't do. I'm still young, and I have a lot of sky to conquer!

He shook his head hard, driving these strange thoughts out of his mind, and then Ryūichi started preparing what he needed to buy.
