My transformation into a beautiful girl started with a hemorrhage.

External techniques are a set of swordsmanship techniques. Each sword movement has its own unique charm. It's not enough to just make the movements look like the movements; the key is to have that charm.

The more external techniques you use, the more muscle groups you train, and the more solid your foundation becomes.

The Royal Knights Academy's knight training method is called the Star-Scarred Knight Training Method. It has thirty-three movements and is recognized on the mainland as the best knight training method for building a foundation.

The thirty-three sword techniques of the Star-Scarred Knight Training Method must be taught by a real person; drawings and such cannot capture the essence of them.

The inner method is a specially made medicine that is applied to the surface of the body. When used in conjunction with the outer method, it can greatly accelerate the body's absorption of Mana factors, achieving twice the result with half the effort. This is also an important secret of the Knight Training Method.

Then Ms. Caroline went on to explain some relevant precautions.

For example, the growth in the Knight's Training Method is gradual; you shouldn't train when you're too tired, too hungry, too full, or when there are many distractions...

From the start of training to becoming a knight.

It takes ordinary people more than ten years, even geniuses need five to ten years, and those who can achieve it in less than five years are the cream of the crop...

This is why knights hold such a high status. Becoming a knight is a very time-consuming process, and there's also the issue of success rate. Having a knight training method doesn't guarantee you'll become a knight.

However, once you become a knight, your body will age much more slowly, essentially doubling your prime years until you are near the end of your life.

Kouta also asked, "What is the heart of a knight?"

According to Teacher Caroline, if you close your eyes, you can feel a ball of light in your lower abdomen. That ball of light is the Knight's Heart, the source of the knight's power, which is ten times that of an ordinary person.

"Tengmu, you are a Divine Blood Awakener, and you are born with the ability to absorb Mana factors in the air to strengthen the life fire within your body. Even if left unattended, you will automatically become a knight in a few years. However, the Star Refining Knight Training Method will help you accelerate this process."

"Alright, now watch my movements and carefully appreciate the nuances. The posture isn't the most important thing; everyone's posture will be different. The key is the nuances!" After saying this, Teacher Caroline raised a knight's sword and began to perform a set of sword techniques.

Her movements were slow, as if in accordance with some cosmic law, full of charm.

Kouta's eyes widened in surprise; he felt... such exquisite swordsmanship.

Besides that, I couldn't feel anything else...

He couldn't sense any of the nuances or charm that Ms. Caroline was talking about.

He was like a bystander watching a street performance, simply enjoying the spectacle.

Kouta was puzzled and asked the voice in his mind, "Hui, what's going on?"

"This, this exercise method is terrible..." Hui's voice trailed off.

"Okay, I understand." Kouta sighed.

Although he had always known that he wasn't a genius, he was still somewhat frustrated.

"Kouta, don't be sad. You don't need this garbage training method at all. You have a treasure, so you don't need to cultivate this system."

Hui Rou comforted her, "Moreover, this system also has its limits. The energy level of this world is not enough to give birth to a god. Even if you cultivate this system to its limit, you will still be an ant in the eyes of a god."

“Thank you, Hui,” Kōta replied, his frustration vanishing.

He realized he was asking for too much. Those powerful Noble Phantasms were in no way inferior to these knights, and with the continuous accumulation of Noble Phantasms, he would eventually become the absolute strongest in this world.

"By the way, Hui, how should I cover this up so that the other party doesn't notice anything amiss?"

"Leave it to me. I will help you activate the high-energy factors of this world to create the illusion that you are cultivating," Hui replied in her consciousness.

Over there, Caroline had finished practicing a complete set of external sword techniques, and then gestured for Kouta to practice it once.

Kouta picked up a knight's sword he was practicing with.

The sword is real and very heavy, but with the blessing of the Noble Phantasm [Child of the Sun], his physical parameters increase every day. On the seventh day, he will rise to become a Great Heroic Spirit of the same rank as the sun, with all his values ​​reaching A.

It was only the second day, but he already felt no burden when he picked up the knight's sword.

Then Kouta began practicing Caroline's swordsmanship, recalling her teachings, while Kei also stirred up the surrounding Mana factors, creating the illusion of "charm".

Caroline watched from the side, nodding repeatedly.

How are you feeling now?

"I felt a surge of warm blood slowly gathering in my chest and abdomen, then spreading to my limbs, making my whole body feel warm."

"That's right, keep up the good work. You have great talent, and I believe you'll become a knight soon."

"Thank you, teacher." Kouta began to practice the swordsmanship with great enthusiasm.

The rest of the class looked on with envy. Hume watched this scene silently, her eyes burning with jealousy, her teeth practically grinding to dust.

He had already learned from the words of others that Kouta was a genius who had awakened divine blood.

In recent days, his knowledge has also grown, and he now knows what a Divine Blood Awakener is.

'It's happening again!'

'Why is it that even after I've climbed all this way, Lim is still haunting me?'

'He's actually an Awakened One of Divine Blood! Why is his luck always so good? Why does the world always seem to favor him so much?'

……

It was noon.

Everyone finished training and went to the cafeteria for lunch.

Kouta followed the crowd and then he saw a large group of beautiful young women ahead of him.

He was surprised because he had hardly seen any female students since he entered the academy, and even if there were, they were very few.

A large group of girls appeared directly in front of them, numbering in the dozens. Their bright red uniforms contrasted sharply with the blue of the boys' uniforms.

It took Kouta a while to figure out the structure of the academy.

The Royal Knights Academy and the Royal Academy of Altona are both located in this area, just a few dozen meters apart, without any fences or other barriers between them, and they use the same public facilities.

Simply put, this is equivalent to two different departments in a modern university.

This was the prototype of a modern university!

The cafeteria was luxurious, like entering a palace.

Moreover, the food inside is free, or rather, it's included in the high tuition fees they pay.

Kouta chose a corner and ate his meal alone.

The food in the cafeteria is very plentiful.

He chose a stew, which is said to be made with rabbit bones from the magical beast Arte Rabbit and a broth made from dried wild mushrooms, simmered with white sauce, and the soup base is made with seasonal vegetables and tender rabbit meat...

It tastes delicious, and most importantly, it's very effective at replenishing the body's energy. After just two bites, he felt warm all over, as if he had taken too much tonic.

Just then, a commotion broke out at the entrance of the cafeteria.

"Look, it's Princess Christine!"

"Why is Your Highness here? Hmm~, it really is Your Highness!"

······

Chapter 506 Transition

Kouta followed the voices of the crowd and looked toward the door.

A crowd had gathered there, and after a brief commotion, the crowd parted to form a path, and a stunningly beautiful blonde girl walked in.

She was wearing a school uniform, with a graceful figure and long legs. In particular, her pure and noble temperament was captivating at first glance.

Kouta was stunned when he saw the girl.

It was her.

Kouta recognized the girl as the one he had rescued before.

However, he didn't look at it much, but instead lowered his head and continued to eat his meal silently.

Although Kristen is undoubtedly a rare beauty in the eyes of outsiders.

However, compared to Hui, she pales in comparison.

He was constantly captivated by Hui's beauty, and his resistance to women, especially beautiful women, had reached a level that only a saint could match.

Often, when he looked at so-called beautiful women, his heart remained as calm as a stagnant pool, without the slightest ripple.

If it weren't for the urge to "eat" Hui after seeing her, he would have thought he was impotent in that area.

After Christine entered the hall, she didn't go to eat. Instead, she was looking for something, glancing left and right. Finally, she seemed to have found the person she was looking for and walked in one direction.

Everyone watched quietly, wondering which despicable fellow could have prompted Princess Christine, the kingdom's most beautiful woman, to come looking for someone in person.

Kouta put down his spoon as he saw the princess walking toward him.

Just as he was wondering, Christine passed by him without stopping, leaving only a faint fragrance lingering in the air.

Kouta turned around and saw Princess Christine standing in front of Hume.

He then realized that Hume was sitting not far from him.

However, Hume was in a terrible state at this time. His body and cheeks were covered with bruises from a brutal beating, and his lips were swollen and bloody. His clothes were covered in mud.

Looking at him, Kouta felt as if he had been bullied.

Just as Kouta was pondering, Princess Christine sat down directly opposite Hume, began speaking to her, and took something out to wipe Hume's injured area...

Hume looked flattered, a genuine smile appearing on his bruised and battered face.

Kouta already knew from the snippets of conversation among the classmates that Hume had used that gold chain to impersonate him and become the princess's savior.

Seeing this, he felt no jealousy or anything like that, nor did he intend to clarify the matter.

First, he had no evidence, and second, there was no need for it.

Just as he was about to look away, Hume's gaze passed over Princess Christine and met his eyes from afar.

Kouta noticed a hint of smugness in the fleeting look in his eyes.

At this moment, Kouta suddenly realized that perhaps Hume had deliberately created an unpleasant persona to cause others to ostracize or even bully her.

In that case, Princess Christine would naturally come to comfort her savior when she found out.

As for the reason for being bullied, it's perfectly normal for a guy born in the slums to be ostracized by everyone after he miraculously saved a princess and got into the academy.

Princess Christine even blamed herself, feeling that it was all her fault that Hume suffered all this injustice.

If we make good use of Princess Christine's sense of guilt, we can gradually open the princess's heart and eventually win her heart...
