Chapter 239: All Winners, Except

Miss Hero felt that it was time for her to make the most important decision of her life.

Her past paths were all paved with the history and experience of heroes, completely limited and not allowed to deviate.

Now, it was a decision made not as a hero, but as a girl.

"This is all so messy! Too… too weird!"

Rin, securely bound, stared at the male and female leads fighting on the iPad screen, feeling his already irritable mood reaching a breaking point.

Especially when he discovered the magic device he was carrying was out of control due to his emotions, causing the magic to go haywire, he felt extremely embarrassed and couldn’t help but roar in anger.

However, while he thought he was roaring, to others, it sounded like a puppy’s high-pitched yelp.

Emilia had already heard the sound of a similar magic device that resembled an Image Crystal being made, her eyes shimmered with curiosity as she leaned in closer to Rin, wanting to see what was going on.

It was only then that Rin noticed there was someone else in the room, he glanced at Waste Hero and his face immediately twisted with a mix of surprise and confusion.

What was causing this strong sense of unease?

Looking at the tablet, writing desk, two rows of bookshelves in his hands, and a sleek notebook computer in the center, it all looked like his own room no matter how he looked at it.

But why was Waste Hero here?

Although the curse was still active, thanks to the succubus, he was able to maintain his consciousness while it was happening.

However, without the influence of dream control, his level of wakefulness was limited. Lost in a daze, he still didn’t realize he was dreaming.

The brain simply processed the current situation as the two of them being good school friends.

Many people already have characters and settings in their dreams, like in a movie or a video game scenario, similar to that.

The strong sense of dissonance suddenly became as ordinary as ever, except for his current state.

"Why is the silly cat here, and why the heck did you tie me up again?"

"It wasn’t me."

"If not you, then who else!?"

Rin boldly lifted his chin, "Untie me, or else if Lin… um?"

The name that suddenly popped into his head, just as he was about to say it, he suddenly couldn’t remember, leaving him a bit confused.

In the dream realm between reality and unreality, even in a mental state, one may vacillate between clarity and confusion.

"Anyway, not me, quiet, watch tutorial."

Rin, educated by Waste Hero, suddenly turned red in anger… oh wait, his face was already red because of a sudden outburst.

Rin opened his mouth, but in the end, he didn’t say anything. He glanced at his magic device, then nervously avoided eye contact, his gaze shifting back and forth on the screen, his fists clenched.

Waste Hero was fully focused on learning. When seeing the main characters, a boy and a girl, standing in the alley, wielding weapons and preparing to fight, suddenly had a moment of realization.

She finally understood the reason behind the occasional water element reaction – it was actually to condense the overload reaction of the magic device.

With this in mind, she kindly released Rin from his bindings, caught him off guard, directly took Rin’s magic scepter device, quickly subdued him, then pointed at the screen and meowed twice.

Rin shivered, "What are you up to again!"

"Study, tundere, water element, magic."

Rin followed her sparkling and cute finger and happened to see the elemental reaction, which was like a sudden enlightenment to him.

Yes…it is.

This reaction, he seems to have seen it several times before.

Like the time when his face was ridden by the silly elk, Holy Light mutated into a water element reaction, and even Suyu and Waste Hero, they both have it, he just didn’t pay much attention to it before.

So, this isn’t a privilege only for mages…

Emilia is fine too, without the hero Rank, she should be considered a Wind Swordsman, the wind skills carried by swordsmanship also belong to magic.

But the Sword Saint in his family, the poor one, has nothing to do with magic at all, the water element reaction is indeed the most obvious…

Wait, why am I thinking about those things!

And the Demon Kinghero Sword Saint, what are they…

Suddenly, his brain trembled, Rin remembered, the place he was in should be in a different world.

Why was he still holding a tablet and lounging in his own bedroom?

So, the only answer is… this is a… dream.

Why is it always just a dream, when will it stop!

But, it feels so bad, if it’s a dream, can he let himself go and be free?

Just sneakily let go once.

Anyway, Freya is not around, Waste Hero often bullies him, so why can’t he bully back!?

Now is the perfect time for revenge! Even if it’s just a fake, that silly cat needs to be taught a lesson!

Just take the opportunity to study water element sensing diffusion reaction, learn from the instructional videos.

Honestly… this experiment, actually… is quite intriguing.

At least Rin wasn’t resisting as much in his heart as he appeared on the surface.

Waste Hero looked at him strangely, his expression changing from confusion to surprise to eager, his attention still focused on the magic device.

However, this time, it was Rin who took the initiative.

He in turn took Emilia’s magic device, grinned happily, and curiously examined it.

"Didn’t expect this, huh Waste Hero? You have your day too. You always act superior to me, but this time I’ll settle the score! Even if it’s just in a dream…well, it’s still revenge."

"Meow~"

Another meow filled with twists and turns echoed around, the hero cat twisted uneasily, thought for a moment, and decided not to tell Rin the truth…

With the reference video, Rin was a bit unfamiliar, but not completely clueless.

Thinking that dreaming made it all forgettable, relaxed in mindset, perhaps due to his natural talent, Rin quickly became proficient…

But when it came to the crucial step of the chemical fusion experiment, he hesitated again, because he felt that this experiment seemed improper and a bit off.

At that moment, his body’s sudden reaction made him panic, he closed his eyes tightly, gritted his teeth, his mind went blank all of a sudden, and his thoughts almost drifted away.

It was strange, Waste Hero had just put down the test tube, but why did it seem like the test tube that was placed aside had been taken by an invisible person?

…

Lord Demon King firmly believed in the literal meaning of "reading is beneficial", and also understood the saying "sharpening a spear before battle is essential".

The time wasted made Suyu somewhat worried, worried that someone would get ahead of her in her dreams.

She could only multitask, observing Rin’s cursed reaction while reviewing the knowledge in her books.

Of course, she also regretted why she didn’t start studying earlier knowing that the exams would come someday, and even though she had started studying, she always stopped halfway due to shame.

Well, how should I put it, Suyu was just like you who couldn’t understand in the previous chapter.

Either skimming through or skipping chapters, those confusing metaphors that were used in previous chapters are now taken out separately and become unclear when read alone.

Remember to review and revise carefully.

Getting back to the main point, Suyu has lived for over a hundred years. While her understanding and connection with the water element may not be as extraordinary as Rin, the Sword Saint who is gifted beyond the ordinary, it is certainly far from being comparable to a fable.

At least, she progresses much faster than a fable. Just by reviewing and imagining, she unconsciously starts to sense the elements.

Besides, she learns quickly no matter what she tries.

A true all-powerful Demon King, no doubt about it.

Therefore, the missing test tube was actually taken by her in reality.

The people still trapped in the dream world are completely unaware of this.

Rin is also unaware that he is about to face a dual reaction… Oh wait, perhaps it’s a multiple reaction.

Rin couldn’t wait any longer and grabbed Waste Hero to tackle this chemistry test together, but then he noticed Emilia’s blue hair in front of him starting to shorten and turn pink.

The once lifeless face with a touch of vibrant beauty began to transform as well, with deep blue eyes turning into emerald green like a lake.

"Little Rin!"

"What…what’s going on? Silly elk!"

Rin exclaimed in surprise, realizing that if the curse was still in place, the magic device would need to be restarted.

Just as the words slipped out, he remembered that this was a dream, where anything could happen – even Waste Hero turning into a silly elk was not impossible.

Besides, Elise was another possibility.

So, he decided to try the experiment again.

But Elise was quicker to react and didn’t notice the current situation; she joyfully hugged Rin as soon as she saw him.

"It’s Little Rin, it’s Little Rin! My sister didn’t lie to me after all!"

Elise’s ahoge hair bounced up and down happily, her face blushing with joy. Rin couldn’t resist holding her face and giving her a peck.

"Hehe, the Little Rin in my dream, I really like him!"

Silly elk touched her cheeks, cheeks rosy, pouted and leaned towards Rin.

However, at that moment, her face and figure seemed to fluctuate. In Rin’s bewildered eyes, one person turned into two and they even playfully pushed each other.

"Why, silly elk, are you here?"

Duck sitting next to Waste Hero on the right looked puzzled, frustration and annoyance in her eyes, unable to hide her natural talent.

"I was just about to ask! Why is Stupid Emilia here? It would’ve been fine if it was just me! Oh, sister!"

Rin noticed that she had mentioned her sister twice by now, but was still a bit confused. He decided not to worry too much about the strange dream.

In fact, Elise coming here was simply due to the favor of Lady Luck and destiny.

Because she missed Rin a lot, Elise asked Eve to cast a sleeping spell on her, and even stubbornly requested to dream about Rin.

Eve, who loves her sister, naturally agreed wholeheartedly and expended a good amount of magical power to cast a form of self-suggestion magic, a type of mental control magic.

Strengthening self-suggestion to dream about Rin was purely a matter of mysticism, yet Elise actually dreamed about him.

What’s more, the mental magic and succubus abilities interacted in the dream, pulling silly elk into the mix.

Of course, like Rin, silly elk also considered it a dream that they might forget upon waking up.

"silly elk, always causing trouble, so annoying."

Emilia bluntly stated, her arm blocking just above the chubby part.

"Emilia, such a silly silly silly person, really annoying!"

The silly elk angrily scolded, then suddenly realized something was wrong. He pointed at Rin, then at the hero.

"Why, why aren’t you all… not wearing… What are you all doing?"

"As you can see, it’s a chemistry experiment."

"o(╥﹏╥)o0! That’s too much! Whether in reality or in a dream, Little Rin belongs to me, and there’s no room for the stupid cat! Get out of here!"

Speaking, Elise also felt a chill all over her body, glanced at herself blankly, suddenly felt extremely shy, and tried to cover up.

"Silly elk, it’s time to leave, Tundere, don’t mind her, let’s continue."

"Continue with what? You’re not allowed to continue! If you keep this up, I’ll really get angry. Little Rin can only study chemistry with me!"

The two of them were like gladiators. When one tried to attack, the other pulled them away, swapping positions to continue their battle.

Their figures sometimes separated, sometimes came together as if they were one person, mysteriously strange.

Rin looked at the two people who were not giving in to each other, his eyes a bit blank. Then feeling uncomfortable, he shrank his body, his eyes turning red.

"When will this end! It’s time for the final assessment, so annoying!"

Without hesitating, Rin took the opportunity of the two people merging into one and continued the test directly.

It was hard to say who he caught.

…

"Sword Saint, please rest early, we’ll take the night watch."

Hearing this, Yuki raised her head, a maple leaf on top sliding off at any moment.

The temporary camp was located in a maple forest, where the autumn arrived earlier compared to Gualarrap, and the maple leaves had already turned red.

The whole maple forest looked like a sunset with clouds during the day, very beautiful, but unfortunately it was deep into the night.

Two female knights in armor approached Yuki, showing care and respect.

They were chosen from the palace guards to accompany the Sword Saint.

Yuki looked energetic, she put down the sword she was holding and stood up leaning on the ground.

"It’s okay, you can go rest."

With a serious and cold voice, the knights stood up straight instantly, not daring to argue, they bowed and left.

After they left, Yuki sighed in relief and looked towards the nearby camp.

There were too many people, she was not used to it and did not like it, she wouldn’t choose to rest there.

Another main reason was…

Suddenly, Yuki paused, drew her sword, and with all her strength, swung it in one direction.

The sword shimmered, a powerful sword energy flew out and cut a dark brown spider with green spots in half that was hiding in the grass at a distance.

It was a vanguard scouting spider from the Abyssal Spider tribe.

It seems they are planning to attack here again, maybe under someone’s control.

Without hesitation, Yuki killed the spider, rang the alarm bell, and woke up the resting warriors to prepare for the second round of challenge.

Soon after, large numbers of spiders as tall as children swept in.

The young Sword Saint, powerful and brave Rin, wielded her sword like a goddess, showing calm and determined eyes.

Once I finish killing these spiders, I will rest well.

I can’t stay up all night like before until the task is done, or my brother will get angry.

I hope, in the dreams after the victory in battle, to hear my brother’s encouraging and caring voice.

And the battle continued until the next morning.
