chapter 12

“Why should I wear these?”

Tiny black drooping lines appeared on Alice’s forehead. She often feels that what her teacher says is baffling.

“Black pantyhose stand for seduction, they can make your charm points soar. Those smelly men like black pantyhose. Don’t look at them as just a pair of pantyhose. As long as you wear them, it will make men go crazy and throw themselves at your feet…” Teacher narrowed her eyes and said seriously, “These black pantyhose are your secret weapon on your way to success, keep that in mind.”

“Ok… okay. I can barely accept…” Alice nodded with a stern face, looking rather reluctant, “But why do I have to show my panties? Isn’t that shameful?”

“You don’t understand?” Teacher shook her head and said solemnly, “Revealing her panties is a girl’s finishing move! It’s a skill essential to all female leads, it doesn’t lose out to Saint tier spiritual attacks in terms of lethality! Female leads who don’t show their panties are worthless rubbish! This world doesn’t need prude virgins, it only needs girls dressed scantily!”

“Exposing… exposing panties is this powerful?” Alice is rather skeptical.

“It’s very powerful, it can deal 1,000,000% spiritual damage to male creatures. Additionally, coupled with the semi-transparent black pantyhose, it will make the panties faintly discernible and full of mystery. It’s simply a major trump card against men! Hidden under the black pantyhose, faintly visible panties is the best!” Teacher coughed and said regretfully, “In my time, when I was fighting over a man with my arch-enemy, I didn’t understand this and suffered a major loss. In the end, I couldn’t escape my loosing streak. That bitch, due to this trick, was particularly formidable…”

“Isn’t… isn’t this flaunting obscenity?!” Alice frowned and pouted, saying, “I don’t want to do this…”

“Silly girl, look at that washboard on your chest. If you don’t add some moe [1] points, you’ll have an 80% chance of falling flat on your face in life. You have no capital, so how can you wrestle away a man from those bitches?!”

Alice, with a gloomy face, sank into her thoughts. Feeling that her teacher’s lewd words are reasonable, she has nothing to say in response.

Why am I thinking about such things now?

After going down the mountain, I keep running into stone walls.

Is it because I didn’t wear the black pantyhose and didn’t expose my panties?”

I won’t agree to such a thing! But teacher was right about one thing.

My training was far from enough…

Alice shuttled through the black forest and leapt over fallen trees. The two demonic wolves behind her followed like her shadow, with bloodthirsty red light flashing in their eyes.

This world is big, there are many things that I cannot overcome.

The first time I came to the Dead Marshes, I saw a being that transcends dimensions.

That blond man, amid the wind and rain, talked arrogantly before the Church’s 100,000 knights.

With just a simple quick draw, he annihilated the enemy.

Maybe I’ll never be able to beat someone of that caliber.

But even so, I…

Alice stopped running and hid under a huge fallen tree, gripping the holy sword <Hymn of Light>.

Since she knows she can’t escape, she might as well make a final stance!

The two High tier demonic wolves howled and leaped over the fallen tree. They didn’t expect that Alice would stop running and hide behind the fallen tree. When they jumped into the air, they became living targets.

Alice seized this opportunity to stab with the holy sword repeatedly, and silver light shone. She used a snowstorm-like sword technique.

Black blood sputtered on her beautiful and resolute face.

But even so —

I also want to live well in this world!
