The villain really doesn't want to steal the heroine.

Chapter 21: The Last Stubbornness

"The principal clearly issued an announcement that because there are too many girls in this class, the original men's restroom on this floor has been requisitioned and converted into a women's restroom. If you don't believe me, go check it out yourself!"

Claire said stubbornly.

The facts are exactly as she said. Originally, there was a men's restroom on every floor of every teaching building, but this year, for some reason, the number of girls' restrooms outnumbered the number of boys'. (PS: The male protagonist is taking the blame.)

This has led to a situation where "there are very few people using the men's restroom, but there are long queues in the women's restroom."

The girls in line looked at the almost empty men's restroom and felt very anxious but had no idea what to do.

Moreover, there was only a 10-minute break between classes, and the girls had to wait in line for half a day to use the restroom, which resulted in them always being late for class. This made the girls very distressed, and they eventually reported the problem to the principal.

After an on-site investigation, the principal confirmed the authenticity of the above issues.

经过综合考虑新建和改造的时间金钱成本对比，校长最终决定牺牲一下男生——结果就是新生的教学楼只有1、3、5三层奇数层才有男厕所，其余2、4、6三层的男厕所被征用改为女厕，门口也赫然换成了“女厕所”的牌子。

In fact, even if half of the men's restrooms are requisitioned, there will still be a long queue for the women's restroom - because compared to boys, girls take longer to use the restroom. This is an advantage determined by innate conditions and cannot be changed.

So when the get out of class is over, there will still be queues in the women's restroom. The girls can no longer hold it in and can only stand there stamping their feet anxiously, worried that they will be buried and it will be too late to recover.

As a girl, Claires was naturally troubled by this problem.

Until one day, she found several anxiously waiting girls sneaking into a luxuriously decorated room, and came out with relaxed expressions on their faces.

She opened the door out of curiosity and took a look, only to find that there was a hidden toilet on this floor, and it was very clean and tidy.

In addition, Claire was a little impatient at the time, so she used the Russell family's private toilet.

After using it a few times, I found no problem, so I used it with confidence. Anyway, there was a restriction announced by the principal, and no boys would come to the toilet on this floor.

Who would have thought that Wan Xing never read the principal's announcement at all, or to be more precise, the principal always acted according to his mood.

"What does the principal's announcement have to do with me? He never reported this to me at all. And the one that was requisitioned was the men's restroom. What does that have to do with my private restroom?"

Wan Xing spoke with certainty and confidence because he was telling the truth.

These days, whenever he had free time, he would go to Russell's maze to kill monsters and level up. It was really not easy for the principal to find him. Besides, it was just a small matter. Anyway, only the men's bathroom was changed, and the Russell family's private bathroom was not requisitioned, so it would not affect Wanxing.

So the principal was too lazy to report it.

Claire was no fool. She heard Wanxing's arrogant demeanor, his disdain for the principal, and combined it with the gossip from the girls in the class, she roughly guessed his identity—Wanxing Russell, the Duke's son.

Could it be that the other party really doesn’t know about the principal’s announcement?

Could this really be the other person's private toilet?

Could it be that I am really the one who is wrong?

Impossible, absolutely impossible!

Claires couldn't accept the fact that she was wrong, and immediately changed the subject, complaining, "You're a grown man, how come you have no manners at all? We girls are just using the restroom, and you're fussing over it..."

Ah, in broad daylight, boys are accused of being unmannered for entering the men's restroom?

After hearing these words, Wan Xing felt like his brain was about to stop working!

Why are boys considered rude when they use the women's restroom, but girls expecting men to behave properly when they occupy it? Why are boys always the ones who get hurt? Can this society ever get better? How should we boys live to satisfy you? Tears flow uncontrollably. This world is filled with oppression against men. When will men truly stand up?

However, the more times like this happen, the more you need to stay calm and not be provoked by the other party's words.

You can't try to prove your own demeanor and let the other party lead you by the nose - just like if the other party questions how many bowls of noodles you have eaten, you can't cut open your stomach to prove it, right?

Wanxing forced himself to calm down.

Then think about the current situation you are facing and what you want to achieve.

The current situation is that Claire broke in and used his things without permission, and Wanxing accidentally stained her clothes.

As for the goal, Wanxing did not expect to hold Claires responsible for her trespassing. After all, such a small matter would not cost much money in compensation.

All he wanted was for Claire to promise not to hold him responsible for soiling her clothes.

Especially, she must not tell this matter to Longgu Kaiwu in her current wet state, otherwise there is a high possibility of becoming a mortal enemy.

Don’t think that Wanxing has secretly intercepted three opportunities from Longgu Kaiwu, but that was done without Longgu Kaiwu’s knowledge.

Therefore, Wanxing and Longgu Kaiwu are still strangers at present, and the hero has no reason to take revenge on him.

Simply put, this is part of the plan, and everything is under Wanxing's control.

But once Longgu Kaiwu finds out that Qingmei was bullied by him, the situation will be out of Wanxing's control.

Fortunately, the situation has not deteriorated to that point yet, and there is still hope.

It is actually quite simple for Wanxing to stop Claires from telling this matter.

But in order to test the waters first, Wan Xing shrugged, pretending to smile nonchalantly, and said, "You're right, I'm indeed unmannerly, but Claire, you don't want Ryutani Kaiwu to know about my current state of disgrace, do you?"

Upon hearing this, Claire's face suddenly became panicked: "You...you actually set up a light and shadow magic circle here?"

Very good. She was indeed very nervous about her good image in front of Long Gu Kaiwu. She was very worried that Long Gu Kaiwu would see her current miserable state and was afraid that Long Gu Kaiwu would hate her because of it.

This is easy. Now, her bargaining chip has become her weakness!

Wan Xing laughed and said, "How could that be? Who would be so perverted as to set up a light and shadow magic circle in the toilet?"

Just as Claire breathed a sigh of relief,

Wan Xing slowly raised his hand and pulled up his sleeve, revealing the magic item on his wrist. "This is the Controller, a gift my father gave me for my birthday last year. It can initiate short-distance communication magic with attached items, and can also use light and shadow magic and wind magic to record images and sounds."

After a pause, he added, "I just turned on the video recording function. Classmate Claire, take a look. Does my video look good?"

Looking at the magical image projected into the air by the magic item on Wanxing's wrist, Claire's face suddenly turned pale.

"Humph, it's just a toilet. If you don't want to use it, then don't use it. A stingy person drinking cold water... So can we discuss this again and not let Kaiwu see this video?"

Claire's attitude changed rapidly. Although her words still retained some final stubbornness, her eyes were clearly filled with pleading.

Chapter 22: There is definitely a problem

"You don't want Longgu Kaiwu to see this video, that's negotiable," Wan Xing said with a smile, "but is this your attitude of begging for help?"

In fact, Wanxing had already achieved his goal when he confirmed that Claires did not dare to tell Longgu Kaiwu about this.

You can just turn around and leave.

But now Claire looked as if she was being coerced by him.

If Wan Xing didn't make any requests, it would seem that he was guilty.

If Claire saw through his timidity, the situation might be reversed.

So now is not the time to be soft-hearted, we must seize the opportunity to win!

Hearing Wan Xing's words, Claire was slightly startled. The other party's posture did not seem like he wanted to have a good discussion with her. It seemed that he wanted to humiliate her mentally. This made her heart suddenly rise with an inexplicable chill.

Especially when she smelled the scent of Wanxing on her body, Claires instinctively felt a little disgusted and took a half step back to keep a distance from Wanxing.

"Please...please."

However, considering the consequences of being seen by Kaiwu Ryutani in her current miserable state, Claire could only hold her temper, raised her head and pleaded pitifully.

Not only that, Claire also knew that Russell Academy was run by the Duke of Russell's Mansion.

This means that Wanxing can influence her selection as an honor student and her scholarship application, and can even directly expel her!

Although she and Long Gu Kaiwu relied on their own efforts and talents to exempt the tuition fees of Russell Academy and obtain the training resources provided by the Duke's Mansion with a clear conscience.

But the reality is so cruel, she can only lower her proud head!

Hearing Claire's plea, Wanxing nodded in satisfaction and made a request, "Very good, you've shown your willingness to ask for help. Now let's get down to business. If you don't want Longgu Kaiwu to know, then listen to me. If I'm satisfied, Longgu Kaiwu will never see this footage again."

"What do you want?"

Claire looked at Wanxing with some suspicion. The other party's tone was full of threats, and it was obvious that the conditions were not simple.

Claire's heart suddenly became a little flustered as she seemed to feel the burning gaze of Wanxing all over her body.

"Apologize! You illegally invaded private property and even called me a pervert. Shouldn't you apologize? You don't need to pay for emotional damages. I know you can't afford it," Wan Xing said frankly. "But I will record this audio and video. Don't worry, this is just a record to prove your mistake, to prevent you from recanting later. I won't use it to threaten you again."

"I'm sorry, I shouldn't have trespassed here and shouldn't have called you a pervert. I was wrong!"

Perhaps because she had already given in once, Claire's apology was very smooth this time.

"I received your apology, so let's end this matter today." Wan Xing deactivated the magic item on his wrist and glanced at Claires with a smile in his eyes. "But I still like your rebellious look at the beginning. You should recover for a while."

He said this, of course, not because he really liked to see the other person's arrogant face, but to reduce the flaws.

You can think about it, a good heroine suddenly becomes depressed and silent, anyone can see that there is a problem.

Long Gu Kaiwu is not stupid, he can tell at a glance that something must have happened to her!

So Wan Xing deliberately used words to provoke Claires, making her angry and embarrassed, turning her grief and anger into strength, and returning to normal state ahead of time.

As expected, his taunting effect was outstanding.

Claire stood there in a daze, feeling somewhat at a loss as to what to do with Wanxing's bizarre XP system. This was also the first time she had heard such an outrageous request - someone actually didn't like to obey but preferred to resist?

After a full ten seconds of silence, she finally adjusted herself and turned away with a proud look on her face.

At the same time, Wanxing saw the cursor in the upper left corner of his vision flashing again, apparently receiving another system prompt:

[Heroine Claire's submission level +10%! ]

Does this also increase the degree of submission?

He looked at Claire's back speechlessly and used his analysis and identification power out of curiosity.

To be honest, just looking at her from behind, she has an enchanting figure, a slender waist and plump hips, a very seductive body. You can tell at a glance that she is pregnant and looks like she will be able to have children easily.

She is truly worthy of being the heroine, and she is indeed blessed with great luck.

After sighing, Wan Xing looked at the attribute panel of Claire's appraisal:

[Name: Claire]

[Warrior Level: LV15] (Level Cap LV59)

[Fighting Skills: Crescent Moon Slash (Basic), Full Moon Slash (Beginner)...] (Click to expand details.)

[Talents: Joyful Constitution, Sword Mastery] (Both talents are not awakened. Awakening any talent will remove the level cap.)

The identified information was quite different from what Wanxing knew, especially the addition of a strange talent.

When Wanxing played the game, he only knew that Claire had a talent called Sword Divine, which, upon awakening, could break through the level cap. For ordinary people in this world, the level cap was an insurmountable chasm! But for the protagonists, lifting the level cap was just standard.

The male and female protagonists all possess mysterious talents, but the way they awaken is different.

For example, Claire's [Sword Mastery] talent requires her to constantly practice various sword skills. The more sword skills she practices, the faster her talent awakens.

This is also the reason why the game's Rickleiais asked Wanxing to go to the auction to buy the Sword Saint's inheritance.

The effect of awakening the [Sword Mastery] talent is very simple and crude:

[Special Effect 1: Sword Qi - When attacking with a sword, you can kill unkillable objects. Regardless of whether the target is in a void state, invincible state, or other special state, you can still cause true damage.]

[Special Effect 2: Sword Interweaving—Maximizes the power of the sword, increasing attack power by 300% when performing swordplay!]

[Special Effect 3: Sword Intentions are Mind--There is no sword in the hand, but there is a sword in the heart. Everything in the world can be a sword.]

[Special Effect 4: Sword Dao Mastery...]

Although the information identified above is much more detailed than what Wan Xing knows, it is still within his expectations.

But the extra [Happy Constitution] talent makes the style of painting seem a little bit off.

First of all, the method of awakening is very unorthodox, and the specific requirements are indescribable!

Secondly, the effects after awakening are also very impure, and the specific effects cannot be seen directly!

In short, after Wanxing read the detailed information of the [Joyful Constitution] talent, it was as if he could see Claire's eyes full of love and her pink tongue sticking out, and he seemed to hear her making a "V" sign with both hands and saying: Kaiwu, I'm sorry, I can't go back.

Wan Xing shook his head to get rid of the image in his mind. Ten thousand gulps of anger gathered in his throat, but he couldn't spit them out.
