Volume 3 + Chapter 190: Righteous And Confident

Beep! Beep! Beep! Beep! Beep!

The piercing alarm sounded in Xia Yi’s ears, repeatedly giving its warning.

This sound seemed to be something only those wearing the Human King Armor could hear.

Because at this moment, Hill was staring in confusion at the Human Race Sword Saint before her, simply thinking that the other party, while speaking, suddenly stopped and froze, which was very strange.

“Teacher, did you… discover some kind of danger?” Hill was very concerned.

Indeed, a very dangerous situation was about to happen!

After all, Hill had no idea that inside this huge golden armor was a silver-haired dragon girl loli.

Xia Yi listened to the alarm’s warning sound, extremely anxious.

This was obviously because the energy of the Human King Armor had been exhausted, and the possession state was about to be forcibly lifted.

She couldn’t figure out whether it was because she had just distributed the golden particles to humans for their enhancement, causing rapid energy consumption, or if the Human King Armor itself had a time limit when worn.

But regardless of the reason, if the possession state of the Human King Armor was lifted, then Wright Schubert’s career as the Human Race Sword Saint would end here.

The hero who repelled Calamity and saved everyone was actually a silver-haired dragon loli.

That would be completely ruined!

She must leave everyone’s sight as soon as possible.

However, there was now a huge problem.

That was, Xia Yi originally intended to use the Human Sword Saint’s identity to have a talk with Hill.

But now that things were so urgent, she could only keep it short.

“Hill!!”

“Teacher, what is going on?!”

Hill was startled by the Human Race Sword Saint’s sudden and abrupt tone.

“I have something I must tell you. This secret… is best not known to anyone else!” The Human Sword Saint lowered his voice.

“Teacher, please speak, I will never tell anyone.”

“It’s about Xia Yi.”

“Xia Yi?”

Hill frowned.

“Yes. Actually, Xia Yi is my… student.” The Human Race Sword Saint nodded.

“……”

“All these years, I haven’t returned to the human world and have been wandering outside because I… was defeated by the Silver Dragon Queen!” The Human Race Sword Saint gritted his teeth and admitted, “Her strength is very great, I was no match for her before! So I decided to take revenge, defeat her, and return with honor. I’ve been tempering myself outside all this time. Xia Yi is a student I encountered then. Her talent is very strong, even to the point where she has the qualifications to become a Sword Saint, already touching the realm of a Sword Saint!”

“Is… that so?”

“Yes, that’s right.”

Xia Yi hurriedly borrowed the identity of the Human Sword Saint to frantically patch things up.

“Her current strength is already stronger than many people. She’s an extraordinarily powerful super genius—”

Beep-beep-beep-beep-beep-beep!

The alarm changed again, becoming even more urgent, as if reaching the limit, scaring Xia Yi so much that her heart nearly jumped out.

Time was almost up, she couldn’t continue explaining.

Hill was her good student, she would definitely believe what she said, so there was no need to worry about her identity being exposed.

Now she had to run immediately.

Just as Xia Yi was about to leave, Hill suddenly blocked her teacher’s path.

Seeing the Human Sword Saint who, without a word, was preparing to leave, her expression was full of confusion.

“Teacher, where are you planning to go?”

“I, I…!”

Xia Yi was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot; there was no way to explain this.

Hill, my good student, please don’t block your teacher like this.

She was about to break free on the spot!!

Suddenly, in her desperation, Xia Yi had a flash of inspiration, immediately turned her face to the other side, and then, in the tone of the Human Race Sword Saint, said solemnly. 

“Xia Yi, you’re here? This is your senior sister. Quick, come greet her as Senior Sister Hill!”

“Eh? Xia Yi? But—”

Hill heard the Human Sword Saint call Xia Yi’s name, so she turned her head to look to the side.

And saw… no one.

Perfect timing!!

Seizing this chance, Xia Yi immediately used her movement technique, darted away in an instant, and completely vanished from Hill’s sight, impossible to catch.

…

…

“Phew… that was close, just a little more and my Sword Saint career would have been over…”

Xia Yi wiped the sweat off her forehead, leaned against a wall, and sat down among the ruins.

Her luck was good, after escaping Hill’s sight, she found a secluded spot, and even before she could hide, the Human King Armor’s possession state began to lift. Fortunately, no one saw her—what a narrow escape.

Finally, the golden Human King Armor transformed into a pendant resembling a key.

“This Human King Armor should… still be usable, right?”

Xia Yi picked up the golden key of the Human King Armor.

Now, no matter how much magic she injected, the key showed no response. It seemed it couldn’t be used again in the short term.

“I must keep this golden key safe.”

After some inspection, she put the key away.

Then, she took out a transformation potion and gulped it down.

Gulp gulp.

Although it tasted terrible, she had to endure it…

After enduring the effects of the potion, the silver-haired dragon loli turned into a black-haired human loli. After confirming it was safe, Xia Yi finally returned to the place where everyone had gathered.

“Where did the Sword Saint go?”

“No idea. Just now, the Sword Saint seemed to tell Teacher Hill that he would leave for a bit. Why hasn’t he come back yet?”

“So strange—no one saw the Sword Saint’s whereabouts at all. He was wearing golden armor, he should have been very eye-catching…”

Everyone was discussing.

Xia Yi didn’t join in but adjusted her expression and ran up to Hill.

“Ahaha, Teacher Hill, I’m back!”

“Xia Yi?” Hill looked at Xia Yi.

“Mm, Teacher Hill, you… already know, right?”

“Know what?”

“That the real Human Sword Saint is actually my teacher,” Xia Yi braced herself and kept fabricating, “I originally wanted to come help with him, but he wouldn’t allow it and placed me somewhere safe. He told me to come out only after everything was over.”

“……”

Hill was silent.

“All the previous misunderstandings happened because I studied with the teacher for a long time and learned his sword techniques. That’s why Teacher Hill misunderstood, right? Ahaha!”

Xia Yi felt her explanation was flawless!

“Call me Senior Sister,” Hill suddenly said coldly.

“What?”

“Call me Senior Sister. The teacher said so.”

“This…”

Xia Yi felt very embarrassed. Before she had called her Teacher, and now she had to call her Senior Sister?!

But what could she do? To fool Hill, she had to endure it for now.

After all, for the sake of her dignity as a teacher, she had to pretend to be a junior sister for the time being.

“Senior Sister Hill.” Xia Yi’s cheeks were slightly red—so embarrassing.

“If Teacher isn’t here, you have to listen obediently to your Senior Sister,” Hill replied.

“…Okay.”

Xia Yi could only agree.

Still, as long as she wasn’t exposed, everything was fine. Hill had successfully been fooled.

She had preserved her dignity as a teacher.

Victory!!

However, the little princess didn’t know her student’s true thoughts.

Hill looked at this so-called “junior sister,” and the corners of her mouth curled into a mysterious smile…

Then, she made a bold move and actually pulled Xia Yi into her embrace.

“Eh?!”

Xia Yi froze, falling into her student’s soft embrace, completely flustered.

“Th-this is—?!”

“What’s wrong?” Hill said righteously and confidently. “Is there anything strange about a senior sister and junior sister being all affectionate?”
