I, the spiritual mentor of beautiful girls from all over the world

"Then tell me... what should we do?!"

She asked in a trembling voice, with a hint of pleading that she herself didn't even realize.

Lynn did not answer.

He pointed to the training ground in the distance and changed the subject.

"What about over there?"

Eurythmia followed his finger, her small chest heaving violently.

"Hmph... That's the first training ground. Only the top-ranking experts are allowed to use it."

Her tone still held the last trace of a princess's pride.

"Do you use it often?"

"I spend most of my free time there."

"one person?"

"……Um."

Yulis's voice lowered.

She suddenly realized that the man hadn't been asking about these facilities at all.

All his questions were about "her".

“You’ve worked very hard,” Lynn suddenly said.

Yulis paused, then instinctively said, "It's nothing, for my country, for those who need me..."

"But can you stand up to those conglomerates that control capital all by yourself?"

Lynn interrupted her, her voice still flat.

"Everything you've done..."

"At best, it's just a glamorous, self-indulgent performance."

Yulis fell completely silent.

She has been deliberately avoiding these questions.

Because the answer was too despairing.

In this world, no one can defy the six major conglomerates, not even nations.

Lynn stopped and looked at the pair of icy blue eyes beside her, which were unfocused due to confusion, and suddenly chuckled.

"Can't figure it out?"

Yulis snapped back to reality, her lips moved, but she couldn't utter a single word.

"Then let's not think about it for now."

Lynn's tone immediately relaxed.

"Saving the world won't fill your stomach."

"Let's go eat, consider it... payment for your 'enthusiasm' last night."

"I...I don't have any enthusiasm!"

Yulis's face flushed instantly, and she retorted instinctively. Her previous confusion and heaviness were instantly washed away by shame and anger.

She dared not walk ahead anymore, but blushed and followed closely beside Lynn.

……

The two sat facing each other in a quiet restaurant.

Lynn leisurely flipped through the menu on the light screen.

Eurythm sat upright, her back ramrod straight.

She held the water glass in both hands, but her gaze couldn't help but drift towards the glaring number in the lower right corner of the menu.

Her fingertip hovered over the cheapest "Today's Special Lunch" on the light screen for a long time.

It was just a pitiful vegetable salad with a glass of water.

In the end, pride triumphed over poverty.

She looked up and asked, as if casually:

"What exactly did you do to me yesterday...?"

Lynn didn't look up. He ran his finger across the light screen and ordered the restaurant's most expensive "Lava Dragon Heart Steak" and "Deep Sea Ice Crystal Shrimp Sashimi".

"Which one?" he asked, knowing the answer already.

"It's...that!" Yulis cried out, her cheeks instantly burning. "My power...why did it suddenly surge?!"

Seeing Lynn order another serving of black truffle baked rice and premium tiramisu, her heart was bleeding.

This meal is going to eat up her entire budget for next month!

"Hey! You ordered too much! I... I can't afford it!"

"Oh, this."

Lynn finally raised his head, turned off the light screen, and wore that gentle, matter-of-fact smile.

"Don't worry, put it on Claudia's tab."

He casually added, "It's a 'hero-exclusive fund' specially approved by the student council president, so why not spend it?"

Eurythmia choked instantly.

Claudia...it's that wicked woman again!

Using money to corrupt people's hearts! It's outrageous!

But... I've heard that the Lava Dragon Heart Steak is really delicious...

The inner turmoil that Princess Princess experienced lasted only a second.

When the steak, emitting a rich, meaty aroma, was served, all her reserve vanished, replaced by her most primal appetite.

She ate in small bites while continuing the previous conversation in a mumbled manner.

"So... what exactly is that?"

"Hmm?" Lynn slowly cut his steak, then asked, "Which part are you talking about? Is it me holding you in my arms, or my hands...?"

"Not that!"

Yulis nearly choked on a bite of beef, her cheeks turning as red as if they were about to bleed.

"It's power! It's that energy!"

"Oh, you said that."

Lynn looked like he suddenly understood. "I call that 'emergency power supply'."

"Power supply?"

“Yes.” Lynn nodded matter-of-factly. “I saw your battery was almost dead, so I recharged it for you.”

Yulis looked completely bewildered; what kind of explanation was that?

Lynn sighed, seemingly finding it troublesome to explain to her, and simply put down her knife and fork.

"I guess it's due to my unique physical condition."

His tone was flat, as if he were talking about something insignificant.

“I can transform my… well, let’s call it ‘life force’ into the most suitable star power for others.”

"It's a bit like an energy 'transfusion'."

"However, the raw material is myself."

——! ! !

Yulis's chewing motion suddenly froze.

She stared blankly at Lynn, her icy blue eyes filled with disbelief.

vitality……

Blood transfusion...

He... used his own life to replenish my strength?

So that warm, powerful, and even shamefully dependent energy from last night...

Is it a part of his life?

And he, this bastard who teased her and took advantage of her in such a frivolous way...

How could they not even mention it when they did this?

She suddenly found it difficult to swallow the tender and juicy top-quality steak in her mouth.

"then you……"

Her voice trembled, carrying a panic she herself was unaware of.

"Then... will you be alright?"

(Qian Nuohao) "It's just a little tiring."

Lynn yawned, picked up her knife and fork again, and looked languid as if she hadn't woken up yet.

"So, Your Highness."

A wicked smile curled at the corner of his mouth, and he leaned forward slightly.

“Last night’s ‘emergency energy service’ was very expensive.”

"The 'interface' felt nice, but it took me a whole night's sleep to barely make up for it."

"Next time, there will be a charge."

——!

Yulis's brain instantly shut down.

Guilt, gratitude, shame, anger...

Countless emotions overwhelmed her like a tsunami.

This bastard!

BT!

Big pervert!

How could he...how could he...use such a despicable and shameless way to say something so heavy!

How could he, after giving his life for her, still use such words to tease her!

Unbeknownst to her, Yulis's eyes reddened.

……

The two finished their meal in silence.

We just turned a corner.

An arrogant voice suddenly rang out from the front.

"Oh, who do we have here?"

"Isn't this our noble 'Debt Princess' of Lezetania?"

Ralph Markoff, ranked ninth in the sequence, stood in the middle of the road with a few followers, his face full of mockery.

His gaze swept over Lynn's ordinary uniform without any school badge, and then a knowing smile appeared on his face.

"What, in preparation for the 'Phoenix Star Martial Festival,' you've become so poor that you can't even afford a decent set of guards?"

"So, they can only find these 'nobodies' who don't even have a ranking to serve as the face of the business?"

He deliberately emphasized the pronunciation of "debt" and "nameless," which drew a burst of harsh laughter from his followers behind him.
