Su Xin looked at Karen with interest; the girl's resilience seemed to exceed his expectations.
If it were someone else, given his actions last night, even if there were something very important, they would probably only want to stay in bed.
The game's portrayal of Kallen is far less detailed than that of the starter characters, leaving players without a deep understanding of her.
There were no precocious people in that era, so it was normal for them to appear ignorant and clueless even as adults.
Because Kallen lived under the protection of the Kaslana family from the beginning, it was only when she stepped out to see the dark world outside—
Knowing that many things not only cannot yield a good result, but are even unworthy of a poor one, it is only realistic to choose the lesser of two evils when both are ideal.
Unfortunately, due to limited access to information, she had to experience it firsthand to understand the disappointments and devastation of reality.
Time flies by, and as the final test of the semester, all students take the final exams very seriously.
From ancient times to the present, both at home and abroad.
Karen, who is usually ranked first, is rivaled by Truman, who is ranked second.
Normally, Truman would never have dared to speak loudly in front of Karen, but seeing Karen's weak state, he couldn't help but boast, "Hmph, Karen, I won't go easy on you on the exam."
Karen stood up shakily, pulled the wooden sword stuck in the grass, thought for a moment, then threw it aside and replaced it with a long spear.
Su Xin: Clever. Short weapons require faster movement to change moves and flexibly engage in combat, while long weapons can maximize damage output within limited movement. However, this makes it more difficult.
Who do you think gave it to?
Su Xin: No, I didn't know she had an exam today. I thought she was sitting in the classroom reading.
Su Xin: I will not stand idly by, even if it means nothing.
Do you completely seize control of your body?
Su Xin: It's still early, probably around ten years. It's not something that can be done easily in a moment. Karen would just think I was daydreaming. As for getting to know her, well, we'll see. Maybe sometime in the future.
Su Xin smiled; explaining to a child is too much trouble.
Ahem, of course I didn't deliberately hide it because I was afraid of retaliation.
The battle began, and Truman was the first to attack, rushing towards Karen with two short daggers.
Karen reacted and tried to dodge, but found that her legs couldn't be lifted up at all, so she could only quickly swing her spear to parry.
Truman pressed on relentlessly, brandishing two wooden swords wildly, waiting for Karen to make a mistake that would decide the outcome.
Rather than calling it talent, Su Xin prefers to call it a manifestation of wisdom.
Most people would panic and become overwhelmed in this situation, eventually revealing a weakness and being defeated.
Karen, however, was thinking about how to counterattack. Every inch of length is dangerous, and when the defense is destined to collapse and fail, offense is the best defense.
Karen loosened her grip, instantly moving her hand from the middle of the spear to the end, and then used the hilt to knock away a dagger.
If we had just taken two more steps back and pointed the gun at Truman, we could have declared victory.
Because the speed at which a dagger is swung left and right is much slower than the speed at which a spear is retracted.
Unfortunately, Karen's legs suddenly became extremely sore and unresponsive, making her completely unable to move.
Seeing that he couldn't retract his spear, Truman immediately stepped forward and swung his dagger at Karen.
But the next moment, Karen's panicked expression suddenly turned into a frivolous smile, and her originally clear blue eyes faintly emitted a golden afterglow.
That expression was like an adult watching children's clumsy scrambling, completely disregarding everyone else.
"Karen"
Then, with a sideways movement, he grabbed Truman's arms with both hands, tilted to adjust the angle, and threw him forcefully.
"Bang!" Bones collided with the sand, dust flew everywhere, and Truman was thrown hard to the ground.
When the dust settled and vision cleared, a long spear was less than 1 centimeter away from Truman's eyeball.
The Arthurians were dumbfounded. Could Karen really have used that sidestep and shoulder throw with such speed?
It's not that the technique is too difficult; anyone can learn it if they are willing to.
However, the difficulty lies in grasping the distance and time.
Third-rate martial artists dodge attacks by swaying their bodies in large arcs, while first-rate martial artists precisely avoid the attack range and begin their counterattack.
The difference in strength means that the stronger the person, the less the after-effect of their moves. Even the most basic moves can be used to win in one strike, without any fancy combos or feints.
Dodging and then striking decisively seems simple, but it's the hardest thing to do because humans are not as precise as machines and can't do it perfectly.
But Karen's performance just now was noticeably better than it had been a few days ago.
Karen was also stunned. She seemed to have been distracted for a moment, and then instinctively dodged Truman's attack.
My mind didn't register what was happening, but my body started moving, feeling like I was sleepwalking last night.
"Karen wins! Rating: S!"
Truman, defeated! Rating: B!
Arthur announced.
He subjectively graded all the final exam results, and Karen had always been rated S, but her weakened body made a difference.
"Too simple, right? So casual?" The other students were incredulous and began to murmur amongst themselves.
"No way, S-rank?"
"I don't think such a simple move deserves an S-rank at all. Is Arthur-sensei biased towards Kallen?"
Everyone, including Kallen's own thoughts, believed that Kallen was at a disadvantage in the fight at the very beginning, and that her victory was not well understood, making her completely unworthy of the S-rank.
Karen approached Arthur and, after some hesitation, decided to speak her mind. (S-rank)
Arthur knelt down with a kind expression, then gazed intently into Karen's pure eyes, which seemed to be filled with justice and light like starlight.
“No, your performance just now far exceeded my expectations, Karen. Perhaps you don’t realize how powerful combat instinct is. At least, you are the most talented Kaslana I’ve ever seen in my life. You deserve S-rank.” Arthur laughed, his voice loud enough for all the students around him to hear clearly.
The students were puzzled, but Arthur was known for his strictness, so if he was accepted by them, they might just be blind and unable to see it.
Su Xin: Look, no compensation? I only need to make a slight move, and I've already reached the limit of a juvenile level.
Damn, I'm a little angry. You're putting on an act, and watching you put on such a show is more painful than my death!
Karen was somewhat absent-minded all day and didn't even go to Otto's invitation for afternoon tea.
Little Otto is a bit... He's usually very enthusiastic about eating Karen, but today he seemed listless and preoccupied.
At the dinner party, Karen left the table early, directly causing Francis's head to go blank.
He hurriedly asked Arthur what had happened during the day, his heart filled with anxiety and worry.
Karen collapsed onto the bed, her body moving naturally as if it hadn't moved during the brief moment of distraction earlier in the day. It felt neither awkward nor abrupt. It was illogical; she shouldn't have reacted that way, at least not now.
Karen clutched the blanket to her head, rolling around but unable to figure it out, and instead sniffed the sour smell.
"Ugh, it smells awful. Why do the sheets smell so bad?" Karen raised her arm again and smelled it, only to find that it smelled exactly like the sheets—a stench of sweat.
Karen blushed; for a girl, smelly things are simply unacceptable.
"I love taking baths, it makes my skin feel great."
Chapter 3 Night Owl's Late-Night Snack
"Hmm? I'm saying strange things, but it doesn't seem to come out of my mouth, hehe. Grandpa Arthur was right, I must have triggered my battle instincts today. I don't think my S-rank father ever had them when I was a kid, hehe."
Karen gently unbuttoned her clothes, pulled off her nun's habit, sat down in a chair, and pinched her white stockings with both hands, pulling them down to reveal her fair and tender skin, as white as a freshly peeled egg white, which shimmered faintly in the light of the oil lamp.
Then, the upper body
Su Xin: Hiss, this child is terrifying. Let me examine him closely. It is truly rare for someone so young to have such a broad mind.
From the shared perspective of Su Xin and Karen, they appreciate the world's most precious treasure: the girl's flawless, soft, and smooth skin.
This kind of experience is something other time travelers can't enjoy.
¥%*!
Su Xin: Colorful boats float on the clouds, egrets fly amidst the starry river.
You're talking nonsense again. Is this NetEase Cloud Music time? Can you answer a question I'm asking you?
Su Xin: The magnificent flower boats seem to float in the misty clouds, their silhouettes obscured, while egrets take flight after resting on the islets in the river.
What does that have to do with us? It's not appropriate to use that term to describe Karen right now, is it?
Su Xin: It's really inappropriate. I'm not very educated and can't remember many phrases, so even if my words don't express the meaning, I'll still read them out. I simply wanted to express my amazement.
How elegant you are, you shameless host.
Su Xin: No, I think we're a good match, because I've never seen you without the system.
A thin mist swirled in the bathtub, its warm and enchanting aroma spreading and instantly filling the entire room.
The room was quiet and still, with only the sparse chirping of insects outside the window. The bright moonlight reflected off her fair back, and the reflection in the water was like a dream, indescribable.
Girls usually take a long time to shower, and Karen is no exception.
Su Xin calculated that the wash took exactly 41 minutes, about ten times the normal time.
After drying herself off, Karen changed into a new nun's habit and hummed a little tune as she walked back to her room.
"Hmm, I feel much better after taking a shower. Time to sleep." No longer bothered by the day's events, Karen carefree flopped onto the soft bed and fell into a deep sleep within two minutes, losing consciousness.
The room was pitch black, without any light, and faint, even breathing sounds came from her delicate, petite nose.
Suddenly, in the darkness, a pair of golden, starry eyes opened. Su Xin sat up, and the next second...
She instantly burrowed under the covers, curled up, and trembled.
"It's freezing! I'm so embarrassed I'm not wearing any clothes!"
Su Xin quickly changed her clothes, the only thing she wasn't used to was her skin being so delicate and her body so graceful.
He looks thin, but he can kill an adult with one punch. Tsk tsk, bloodline suppression.
Su Xin went outside and first did a set of standard radio calisthenics in the deserted garden.
The ninth set of broadcast gymnastics is now beginning.
One, two, three, four! Two, two, three, four! Three, two, three, four! Four, two, three, four!
After finishing her warm-up, Su Xin was about to repeat the same exercise routine from the previous night when she keenly noticed a sickly aura behind the wall, as if it were trying its best to climb over.
Su Xin's golden pupils focused on that insignificant aura as she took a closer look.
"Little Otto? What's he doing here so late? Hmm, I guess Karen stood him up."
Su Xin walked to the foot of the wall, waiting for Otto to turn over.
1 minutes, 10 minutes
Su Xin's lips twitched incessantly. With his X-ray vision, he watched Otto climb up and slide down, climb up and slide down again, repeatedly doing futile work.
Su Xin shook her head helplessly and sighed deeply, "There's nothing I can do, I'll go away."
She took a leap, but couldn't jump over the wall. Su Xin, a parkour expert, grabbed the safe part of the wall with one hand, then forcefully moved her body, spinning 360 degrees in the air, and finally landed perfectly, crouching and flipping over the wall.
"Huh? Otto, you're in here?" Su Xin covered her mouth with her hand, pretending to be surprised.
Seeing Kalen Otto blush instantly, pace back and forth, her little hands fidgeting uncontrollably.
After a while, Otto looked up and took out a package of desserts and milk tea from his back.
"You didn't come today, so I asked Senior Arthur. He said you were feeling unwell and went home to rest early. I figured you might not have eaten enough for dinner, so I took the liberty of sneaking into the Kaslana family home to bring you some snacks."
Otto's voice was barely audible, starting with excitement but becoming shy, then stammering and stuttering, sounding very nervous.
But Su Xin didn't care about any of that, except for the cake and milk tea!
In the normal Middle Ages, it would be impossible to eat such a thing, so only a little guy like Otto, who was interested in research, would put in the effort to make it.
Hehe, sweet cake and milk tea
No, no, I'm not influenced by Karen. I don't remember being that greedy.
Su Xin coughed lightly twice, suppressing the urge to reach out and take it directly.
You should greet someone politely before taking their things; Su Xin is a gentleman.
"Thank you, Otto! It's so good to have you." Su Xin deliberately adjusted her pronunciation to make her voice pleasant and melodious.
Otto's pupils contracted immediately, and he stood there blankly, like an unmoving statue.
