A cross-dressing anime, starting with Kaguya-sama: Love Is War.

The moment the word "beginning" was uttered, Shinguji Kurono's figure vanished from the spot!

No, it didn't disappear.

In the eyes of a few masters like Yuri Oreki, the world seemed to be slowed down.

Kuroko Shinguji activated her ability, subtly altering the flow of time under her control.

She appeared instantly on Lynn's side with a speed that surpassed the limits of human dynamic vision.

From the outside perspective, this series of actions occurred almost simultaneously with the announcement of the "start of the battle"!

However, just as she was about to pull the trigger...

Lynn moved; he closed his eyes.

The opponent's spirit armor can interfere with his judgment.

He didn't even turn around; he simply swung his right hand, which was holding the flaming sword, backward.

There was no earth-shattering roar, no dazzling light effects.

There are only three strikes.

A slash came from the front, as if it had anticipated Shinguji Kuro's appearance.

The second strike came from below, blocking all her escape routes.

The third strike was the most bizarre; it seemed to transcend the distance of time and space, ignoring everything that had happened in between, and appeared directly next to Shinguji Kurono's neck!

Three scorching sword lights, in three different dimensions, bloomed at the same point in time!

【Swallow Returns】!

In that instant, Shinomiya Kurono's pupils shrank to the size of pinpoints.

This swordsmanship transcends time; no, this swordsmanship completely ignores time.

Time seemed to resume its normal flow at this moment.

Shinguji Kurono quickly retreated to avoid the attack.

The students outside the venue only saw the chairman's figure flash by, and the next second, the chairman retreated.

The battle ended the moment it began.

What's going on?

Is it possible that the chairman of the board has retired?

The entire room fell silent.

Lynn slowly sheathed his flaming sword. The magnificent longsword transformed back into a ball of flame in his palm before quietly extinguishing.

Shinguji Kurono also withdrew her dual-wielding spirit armor, and gave Lynn a deep look.

His eyes held the ecstatic joy of discovering a priceless treasure.

She got it.

The speed testing equipment exceeding its limit and the strength testing machine overloading were not accidental.

The man before her was a peerless gem, far surpassing Stella Vermillion, capable of completely altering the course of the "Seven Star Sword Dance Festival"!

His power has nothing to do with magic!

Such talent must be kept at Hagun Academy! This is an investment in the future of the academy, no, in the future of the entire nation!

Shinguji Kurono turned around, facing all the stunned teachers and students, and shouted in an incredibly clear voice;

"I hereby announce that this special entrance examination is now concluded!"

"Candidate Lynn, disregarding the F-rank magic test result, is exceptionally rated as..."

She paused, then said, word by word, 0....

"'A' Class Knight!"

These words caused an uproar in the audience.

A knight with F-rank magic power received an A-rank rating.

This is unprecedented in the 100-year history of Hagun Academy!

"A...A grade? Did I hear that right?"

"What a joke! How can a bottom-ranked magic user (F-level) get the same rating as the 'Crimson Lotus Princess'?"

"Even if he just beat the chairman, it must have been because the chairman threw the game! That's not fair!"

Shinomiya Kurono's decision was like a bombshell, causing an uproar among the students of Hagun Academy.

The commotion outside the testing grounds was deafening, a mix of doubt and jealousy.

However, Shinomiya Kuro simply stood there calmly, her deep eyes sweeping across the entire room, her invisible pressure causing even the most excited students to unconsciously shut their mouths.

"My decision is in accordance with the rules of Hagun Academy," she said calmly.

These words left everyone speechless.

Inside the observation room on the upper floor of the testing ground, a petite figure stood quietly.

She had neat short white hair, wore the girls' uniform of Hagun Academy, and had a face as delicate as a doll. Her 4.0-colored emerald green eyes were staring intently at the replay on the monitor.

Her name is Kurogane Tsushin, a level B Bladebreaker, and the younger sister of Kurogane Ikki.

On the screen, the scene of Lynn performing the "Swallow Return" was slowed down countless times.

The three simultaneous strikes, spanning time and space, exhibited a trajectory that defied common sense.

“It’s not magic…and it’s not just swordsmanship…” Shizuku murmured to herself in a voice only she could hear, “This kind of swordsmanship has transcended the realm of ‘reason.’ Can my brother…take this attack?”

The answer is no.

Her brother, though highly skilled in swordsmanship, remained within the realm of "human." But the man on the screen displayed the skill of a "god."

An intense, almost morbid interest rose within Shizuku Kurotetsu.

This man named Lynn is much stronger than her brother.

165. "The Fame Plan," Step One

……

The commotion gradually subsided at the testing site.

Shinguji Kurono instructed Oreki Yuri, who was standing nearby, "Oreki-sensei, I'll leave the rest of the enrollment procedures to you. As for the dormitory arrangements..."

Before she could finish speaking, a voice interrupted.

"Chairman."

It is Toudou Touka.

She had been standing silently on the edge of the crowd, but now she took the initiative to step forward.

At Lynn's almost imperceptible glance, she bowed slightly and spoke in a respectful yet unquestionable tone:

"I have a suggestion regarding Lynn's dormitory arrangement. In order to better help the new students integrate into the school and to facilitate our progress together, I hope that Lynn can be assigned to my dormitory."

These words reignited the previously quiet discussions, but this time, the reactions were more of astonishment and gossip.

"President Toudou? She's going to live with a boy?"

"I remember that President Toudou just changed dorms not long ago, right? I think he was sharing a room with Stella Familiar, the most popular freshman."

04 "That's right! And the only special dormitory in our school that can accommodate three people! Could it be that..."

Everyone's eyes became ambiguous, their gazes sweeping back and forth between Lynn and Toudou Touka.

A freshman who was just admitted through special admission and a student council president—who would believe there's no story behind this?

Shinomiya Kurono's gaze sharpened as she looked at the student council president she had personally promoted.

Toudou Touka kept her head down, and that submissive posture made her feel increasingly uncomfortable.

Why did she do that? Was it to recruit this promising newcomer? Or... was there another reason?

Yeah.

An idea instantly formed in her mind.

Stella, that girl, is exceptionally talented, but too arrogant, like an untamed wild horse.

Letting her stay with this Lynn might produce an unexpected chemical reaction.

Whether they're dragons or worms, you'll know once they're put together and fight.

“I agree.” A playful smile returned to the corners of Shinguji Kurono’s lips.

She cleared her throat and, once again over the loudspeaker, announced a decision that left everyone speechless.

"At the suggestion of Student Council President Toudou Touka, and taking into account the special circumstances of Class A Knights, the following dormitory arrangements are hereby made:"

"New student Lynn will move into Room 3, Building A, Special Dormitory".

"His roommate is—the student council president, Toudou Touka!"

"And—the second princess of the Famillion royal family, 'Red Lotus Princess' Stella Famillion!"

The entire testing ground fell into a deathly silence that lasted for ten seconds.

Immediately following were gasps and screams like a volcanic eruption.

"what--?"

"Living with President Toudou and Princess Kurenai? The three of them?"

"This...this is divine treatment! No, this is hell! It's absolutely hell!"

Amidst the envious, jealous, and hateful gazes of countless boys, Lynn calmly accepted the student ID and dormitory key card handed to her by Yuri Oreki.

His "make-a-name plan" has already achieved its first step perfectly.

From an unregistered "illegal immigrant" to a highly sought-after Class A rider, and soon to be the center of attention.

Next, it's time to conquer the stage called "Hagane Academy".

"Lynn, please follow me." Toudou Touka's voice rang in her ears. She led Lynn towards the new dormitory under the scrutiny of countless complex gazes.

The special dormitory building is the most prestigious place in the entire school, and only A-rank knights or students who have made special contributions to the school are eligible to live there.

Each dormitory room is a spacious, private suite, luxuriously decorated and fully equipped.

Lynn followed behind Todo Toka as they walked through the quiet corridor.

His pace was neither hurried nor slow.

He has officially obtained the status of "Class A Knight," which will provide him with countless conveniences for his future actions.

The two finally stopped in front of a door at the end of the corridor. Room 303, Building A.

Toudou Touka took out a key card and swiped it lightly on the door lock.

With a soft "beep," the door lock unlocked.

however,

The door was just pulled open a crack when a clear, questioning female voice came from inside.

"Senior Dao Hua! How could you bring a man back to our dorm like that!"

The owner of the voice was clearly furious.

Toudou Touka's body stiffened subconsciously for a moment, but he still pushed open the door.

As Lynn followed her into the room, her gaze was immediately drawn to the scene in the center of the living room.

She was a girl with a figure so hot it was almost unfair.

She had a head of dazzling red hair that looked like burning flames, and her long hair was wet and draped over her shoulders, clearly from just taking a bath.

She was only loosely wrapped in a white bath towel, barely covering her vital parts, leaving large expanses of her snow-white skin exposed to the air.

Long, shapely legs, a flat, firm abdomen, and the astonishing curve of the towel's edge—all these elements combined to create a scene that would make any normal man's blood boil.

Water droplets slid down her fair neck, disappearing into her deep cleavage, sparking the imagination.

At this moment, the stunningly beautiful young woman stood with her hands on her hips, her beautiful, fiery-colored eyes glaring angrily at the two people at the door.
