The tree-lined paths of Seidoukan Academy were bathed in a golden glow from the setting sun.

Claudia Enfield still held Lynn's arm affectionately.

She did not go to the ordinary student dormitory area.

Instead, she led him through a meticulously manicured garden and finally stopped in front of a luxurious villa situated by the lake.

This villa combines classic and modern design and occupies a prime location with the best views.

Quiet and absolutely private.

"We're here~"

Claudia took out the electronic key, and the door lock emitted a light electronic sound.

“Darling, from today onwards, this is your ‘home’.”

She turned to the side, a smug smile on her face.

Lynn's gaze was not drawn to the luxurious decor of the living room.

He simply glanced calmly at the enormous shoe cabinet that occupied an entire wall next to the entryway.

On the shoe cabinet, rows of exquisite women's shoes are neatly displayed, each with a different style, a dazzling array, like a private museum's collection.

Elegant stilettos, sexy thigh-high boots, and indoor soft-soled shoes with cute bows...

Claudia followed his gaze, her smile growing even more sly.

She spoke softly, in a seductive tone:

"What's wrong, honey?"

"Which pair have you taken a liking to?"

Before Lynn could answer, she pressed her soft body even closer to him, her warm breath brushing against his ear.

"If you like, I'll wear them all for you to see."

"or……"

"...Do you have other uses for it?"

"I don't mind~"

Lynn sighed, interrupting her dangerous statement.

"Claudia".

"Hmm? I'm here, '893', darling."

"This is what you call a 'dormitory'?"

When her lie was exposed, Claudia was not embarrassed at all. Instead, she hugged him even tighter with a self-righteous air, her voice sweet as honey.

"Yes~"

"Because...only in this way can I easily 'take care' of you at any time."

She emphasized the word "take care" heavily, making it suggestive.

What could Lynn say? She could only let her pull her into the villa, which was called a dormitory but was actually a love nest.

He changed into the brand-new slippers that had been prepared in the entryway and stepped into the living room.

at this time.

Two streaks of light, one red and one green, flew out of the scabbard at Claudia's waist.

It was that infamous Pure Star Radiance weapon—[Pandora].

Far from being ferocious, it nuzzled Lynn's trouser leg affectionately.

The sword even emitted a series of pleasant, low-pitched hums.

Claudia gently wrapped her arms around Lynn's waist from behind, pressing her cheek against his back, as if it were nothing out of the ordinary.

Since Lynn appeared three days ago, the demonic sword that had tormented her for three whole years has completely changed its nature.

That ferocious nature, capable of devouring anyone it encountered, vanished without a trace.

As a result, her nightly nightmares of death, which played out on schedule every night, also came to an end.

These past few days, she has slept more soundly than in the previous three years combined.

She knew that all these changes stemmed from the man in front of her.

She did not delve into the reason.

Because sometimes, the answer doesn't matter; being able to grasp this warmth is all that matters.

Lynn bent down and extended her hand.

He gently stroked the humming blade with his fingertips.

"Om-"

The demonic sword emitted an even more joyful hum, its blade trembling slightly, as if responding to the caress of the supreme being.

A golden pattern flashed and disappeared on the back of his left hand.

"God's Left Hand - Gandalf" is essentially about the absolute dominance of the concept of "weapon".

"Okay, stop fooling around."

Lynn's voice was very soft.

Pandora obediently stopped rubbing and transformed into two streaks of light.

With a "whoosh," it obediently flew back into Claudia's scabbard.

Claudia watched this scene with eyes full of tenderness.

"How was your first day at the Star Guide Hall? Are you getting used to it?"

She asked softly, her tone tinged with worry.

"Will you... hate it here?"

“Not bad,” Lynn replied succinctly.

"The students were all...very enthusiastic."

Especially that princess, whose enthusiasm almost set the entire school building ablaze.

Hearing this answer, Claudia visibly breathed a sigh of relief.

As long as he doesn't hate it here, as long as he's willing to stay, that's enough.

"I'm sorry to have troubled you."

Her voice carried a hint of heartache, but even more so, an undisguised love.

"To make up for the unnecessary trouble my hero encountered today..."

She stepped forward, took Lynn's hand, their fingers intertwined, and winked playfully.

"So, as a reward..."

Her fingertips gently scratched his palm, like a feather brushing against his heart.

"Let's take a shower, let me help you... relax a bit, okay?"

“Claudia, I seriously suspect that you want to relax.”

"Hey, don't be so obvious, let's go, let's go~"

……

The bathroom was filled with steam.

I do not know how long it has been.

In the spacious bathtub, Claudia nestled quietly in Lynn's arms.

Her cheeks were still flushed with a beautiful blush.

She fell asleep.

He slept in a very deep sleep, even his breathing became steady and long.

Lynn looked down at her contented sleeping face, her heart filled with tenderness.

He carefully lifted her out of the water.

Gently dry every drop of water off her body with a soft bath towel.

Then, gently place her on the big bed and cover her with a blanket.

After doing all this, Lynn walked to the huge floor-to-ceiling window.

He didn't leave, but simply gazed quietly out the window at the vast campus shrouded in night.

An energy called "stellar power" flows through this land.

For him, it was like entering a new world with a different oxygen concentration, and he needed some time to adapt.

His way of adapting was to gradually unfold his senses.

[Emotional perception] Combined with his own insight, it is like an invisible net, spreading outwards silently from the villa as the center.

Countless emotional sparks lit up in his perception.

at this time.

Lynn's eyebrows twitched almost imperceptibly.

At the edge of his perception, several sharp, red dots filled with clear murderous intent suddenly erupted in an abandoned teaching area that should have been deathly silent.

These red dots are surrounding a familiar flame that is rapidly dimming.

The aura of that flame was proud and stubborn, yet it also revealed weakness.

Euryth Alexia von Risfeldt.

Lynn's expression remained unchanged, but a hint of expected amusement rose in his heart.

Really.

Ultimately, it's because my mindset was affected by my daytime self.

Impulsive training led to excessive depletion of stellar energy, giving others an opportunity to exploit it.

trouble.

but……

Perfect timing, let's use this newly acquired ability to hone our skills.

……

An abandoned teaching area, a dimly lit tree-lined path.

"Huh...huh..."

Eurythmia was breathing heavily, her sweat and blood mingling, making her proud face look disheveled.

The power of the stars is nearing depletion.

Her pride was shattered by that man in class during the day, causing her to squander too much of her strength uncontrollably on the training field.

Now, this impulse has become her fatal death warrant.

This is a perfect trap.

This was a deadly trap set to exploit her overexertion and her habit of taking shortcuts back to the dormitory.

On the eve of the "Phoenix Star Martial Arts Festival", various academies resorted to all sorts of dirty tricks in order to compete for rankings.

And the simplest and most efficient way.

That is, before the competition even begins, the strongest competitor is physically eliminated.

A blade pierced through the shadows, heading straight for her heart.

"Bloom, Blade of the Garland!"

Yulis gritted her teeth and squeezed out the last bit of star power from her body.
