Chapter 55 - Clearly a girl!

A small amount of shame crept into Fang, but he said, “I never knew that Kingsley’s daughter was the same age as us. She’d probably be quite talented.”

“Naturally!” Blue straightened up and proudly continued. “Scarlett was born with a rare grace—she has talent in seven elements, and not just that, her level of energy is at an extremely high state! At the age of only sixteen, she had mastery over her seven elements at the advanced level, and she initially completed the usage of multiple elements at once. It wasn’t just ordinary talent; it was insane, super talent! Plus, Scarlett’s famous for being attractive!”

As Blue spoke, she contemptuously looked at Fang, waiting for his response.

Do you feel frightened, scared, or inferior?

Although the countless praises made Blue feel sick, she wanted to satisfy her vanity right now.

“She must truly be a genius!” Fang’s words lit up Blue’s face with a smile, but Fang then asked, “But is it true that Scarlett hasn’t chosen to attend a college?”

Blue coughed. “You think a person like her needs to attend college?”

“Yes! Though she may be Kingsley’s daughter and have a high level of talent, that arrogant mentality is extremely silly and naïve!”

“What, silly and naïve?” Blue stared at Fang, slightly enraged, as no one had ever dared to say something like that about her before. “On what qualifications are you basing this? She’s much stronger than you!”

“I obviously can’t compare with her and don’t have the qualifications,” Fang smiled. “She might be born with innate talent and have excellent support from her family, but if she didn’t have this status, her mentality would have led to nothing! Is reaching the advanced stage the end of the road? To obtain the strongest power, there’s no doubt you’d have to dedicate your life to reaching that peak and become someone supreme, standing at the top of the world! But Scarlett? She’s been gifted with immense talent that countless people envy, but she doesn’t understand how to value it and instead does nothing with it. That’s silly and naïve, don’t you think?”

The old masters had repeatedly drilled this into Fang—after studying the endless methods they crafted, it would result in some abnormal strength that would be satisfactory to stop then. Their worries were unnecessary, though, as Fang had spent so long practicing without any progress that he treasured every moment of progress he could achieve.

Blue’s eyes widened; Fang’s words were eerily similar to what the old man had said, but more importantly, they were caustic and insensitive. Yet, Blue couldn’t refute Fang’s points and could only respond in anger. “You don’t understand; you just don’t understand her!”

With a quick burst of speed, Blue started to walk away.

Bewildered, Fang followed Blue and after a while asked, “What’s wrong, Blue?”

His roommate didn’t pay any attention to him.

“I just said a couple of things about Scarlett…” As if he had realized something, Fang paused. “You…”

Feeling slightly anxious about her outburst, Blue stopped and looked at Fang.

“Are you in love with Scarlett?”

Fang’s words made Blue burst out in a racking cough as she gaped, dumbfounded. “Me, love her? You must be kidding!”

Although she thought highly of herself, she definitely wasn’t in love with herself!

Seeing his roommate’s stunned state, Fang laughed. “It’s alright. With her talent and beauty, a girl like Scarlett would undoubtedly be the ideal woman for a lot of people.”

A small amount of comfort came to her heart as it pounded faster. “Would she be your ideal woman as well?”

“No!”

Without hesitation, Fang replied, leaving Blue somewhat depressed. She couldn’t help but ask, “Why?”

“Because I’d like a woman who is gentle, sympathetic, and full of kindness,” Fang said, thinking of a certain girl in his mind.

Aggressively, Blue pressed on. “How do you know that Scarlett isn’t gentle, sympathetic, or kind?”

“Simply put, someone as proud as Scarlett would absolutely appear strong and arrogant. How could she possibly be gentle at the same time?” A serious light came into Fang’s eyes as he grasped Blue’s shoulders. “Blue, don’t be blinded. If you have the opportunity to meet her, you might be greatly disappointed, so you should prepare yourself for that right now… don’t walk away so fast, Blue. I won’t talk about her again…”

In the afternoon, amidst the lazy sun, Blue was inside a bathroom, wiping her face. The mirror reflected a face that was slowly, yet surely, becoming more delicate.

Anyone would have recognized that this person was clearly a girl!

With bewitching eyes and a tender, small mouth, she would have dazed any man. It practically dared, no, invited someone to take a kiss off those cherry lips.

She looked slightly like Blue, but no one would be able to connect this face with his, as the change was so drastic.

No average person would study the special technique that allowed changing facial appearance—it took a lot of time and effort to master and had no impact on combat capabilities. The only people willing to learn it were usually spies or those with a specific goal that required frequent camouflage.

With a single crumple, clothes fell to the ground, and the bandages wrapped around were torn off as the girl contentedly stretched her arms.

Ivory flesh was exposed to the air as her curves delightedly expressed themselves freely.

This was Blue’s true appearance.

Kingsley’s favored and spoiled daughter of sixteen, Scarlett was well known within Minuet City as the beauty everyone wanted. However, she had mixed into Garden College as a guy, and hearing Fang’s appraisal of her, she couldn’t help but feel angry. After all, Fang was directly insulting her in front of her face.

Like most girls, she cared deeply about her looks, but if she spent her days as a girl at college, she would undoubtedly be troubled by countless people. It was a sort of suffering to be appearing as a male during this time in her life, so her only respite was the rare showers and baths she could take.

Looking in the mirror again, Scarlett was caught up in her beauty but reminded of a certain person’s words, her small mouth curled in dissatisfaction.

That fellow was really irritating and ignorant, but it can’t be helped as he hasn’t seen me in person. Otherwise, how would he dare to criticize me? He’d probably be confused and smitten with me… it’s a pity I can’t show him how I look. I couldn’t stay in the male student dormitory if I revealed that I was a girl, right?

With a sigh, she walked into the booth and turned on the water. As the hot water rushed down her body, she started to hum as she picked up a sponge.

Thump!

A rapid knocking suddenly resounded throughout the bathroom.
