Life in a different world begins with hidden strength

Chapter 1 Half-Elf Girl

"Master Mijan, I want to be your knight."

The silver-haired half-elf girl knelt on one knee in front of the black-haired boy. He looked nervous and expectant, and pursed his light-colored lips.

In the corridor of the college where people come and go, students and teachers passing by cast curious glances.

Supporting a knight is a huge expense, and it is difficult for ordinary families to afford it.

Most of the civilian students who obtained the knight's training qualifications could only seek funding from nobles and wealthy businessmen. Sign a series of prostitution contracts or accept harsh requirements.

After all, no one will give for free.

Yin Fei had already been mentally prepared for this and was looking for suitable targets everywhere.

As a top-ranked student in the combat department, there are many people offering him olive branches. However, most funders have ulterior motives.

Yin Fei knew very well that what these men valued was not their own strength and talent, but their beautiful appearance.

It is recognized that female students often have to pay more to receive financial aid than male students, and there is a high probability of encountering hidden rules.

Occupational sexism is everywhere.

Yin Fei didn't want to commit herself to some low-key people. She would rather give up the opportunity to become a knight than sell herself out like a bar girl.

"What's the big deal with knights? I won't give up my right to choose a mate." The half-elf girl was angry.

Thinking that I had finally fought my way through the qualifying competition at the end of the semester and had to give up on the spot that I struggled to get, I felt too unwilling to do so.

"Even if you have to choose, you have to choose someone you like."

Mijan Langton has attracted much attention since she entered school.

With his extremely outstanding image and temperament, in just one week, he replaced the former school idol Julius and became the most discussed member of the opposite sex among the senior students.

When most people mention the surname Langton, they will have the impression of an old aristocrat with a long heritage and rich martial virtues.

Although Mi Jia'an is only a junior of the new generation and is not ranked among the heirs, he has never lacked the treatment and dignity he deserves.

It can be said that he was born with no worries about food and clothing. Enjoy the life of the rich without having to work.

I am a regular visitor to the college cafe every day. Around three o'clock in the afternoon, you can probably see a black-haired boy leisurely drinking coffee and eating exquisite pastries.

He is clearly studying law, but he carries an expensive sword with inscriptions on him and travels with war horses and rare orc followers.

"Master Mi Jiaan must be very rich!"

The civilian girls who are secretly paying attention all think so. Compared with embarking on the difficult path of becoming a knight, marrying a noble is the best shortcut to crossing the class.

Unfortunately, he is too dazzling and is destined to attract a large number of competitors and give people a strong sense of uneasiness.

There are very few confident girls who take the initiative to strike up a conversation, silently waiting for the fateful encounter, and it is normal for their hearts to be eager to move.

Mi Jiaan often receives hints from some senior students. The flirtatious eyes, the meaningful smiles, the seemingly casual physical contact.

It's nothing more than no reaction, no pretense, and just a few tricks to deal with it.

He thought he didn't care about the prying eyes.

Until a super rare breed appeared around me. A silver-haired half-elf beauty, her pointed earlobes are very eye-catching.

Who! How rude!
Mi Jia'an couldn't choose to ignore it. Whenever he caught the other party peeking, he would give him a sharp look in return.

"What on earth do you want to do?" College cafe, double seat next to the window. The silver-haired girl lay quietly opposite the black-haired boy.

Fair and flawless skin, perfect proportions of facial features. Bright clear sky blue eyes. The delicate nose is decorated with light cherry-colored lips.

The delicate chin rests on the folded hands, and the silver-white arm guards are shiny.

The figure is slightly slender and thin.

Being mediocre is a common problem among female warriors. Because daily training consumes a lot of fat.

She has short, sleek hair and looks a bit messy and unkempt, but she can't hide her stunning beauty. She is a cool and handsome little beauty.

The two looked at each other, and the atmosphere was silent.

Mi Jia'an held up the white ceramic cup in front of him with a reserved movement and took a sip of the coffee without sugar. The bitter taste spread on the tip of his tongue. He quickly ate a piece of the sweet black forest chocolate cake and pressed it down. He looked comfortable and satisfied.

Since the other party won't answer your question, there's no need to force it.

It’s time to eat, it’s time to drink.

The girl's beautiful face was indeed pleasing to the eye, and he was in no hurry to leave.

Mi Jia'an pretended not to understand Yin Fei's hint of feeding, and enjoyed the leisurely afternoon by himself.

Don’t think I’ll share the cake just because you’re cute.

What a strange guy...

Pretending to be nonchalant, the young man opened the magic book he carried with him, trying to divert his attention. Faced with the girl's intense gaze, and his eyelids beating uncontrollably from time to time, he finally couldn't bear it anymore. He left half of the cake behind, got up and ran away.

Yin Fei ate the remaining piece of cake on the plate as quickly as possible, licked the corners of her mouth, and strode after her.

In the corridor of the college, the two of them walked one behind the other.

"Please wait for the next."

Mi Jia'an paused and looked back with questioning eyes.

The decision is yours. Yinfei took a deep breath of cold air and strode up to Mi Jiaan.

In the standard knightly oath of allegiance, the girl knelt down on one knee and put her left hand on her right shoulder.

So, the opening scene was staged.

Mi Jiaan's brain shut down and he was making crazy calculations and weighing the pros and cons.

It's definitely a good thing to have someone to lean on. However, the girl in front of me doesn't look very reliable. She can't be a prank.

What to do?
Super rare white hair, it’s a pity to miss it.

He decided to test the other party's determination and pretended to be frivolous: "Of course it's no problem, you understand the unspoken rules..."

Yin Fei frowned and stared at Mi Jia'an.

Boy, so direct!
It is much easier to get along with a man who is straightforward and doesn't hide his true feelings than a sanctimonious hypocrite.

Seeing Mi Jia'an turn around and leave, Yin Fei hurriedly stepped forward and took his arm, expressing her attitude with actions.

Like a pair of lovers, the two walked side by side down the white stone stairs at the gate of Violet Academy.
