My Best Bro Got Bullied by Another Bad Woman Again - Chapter 33
“A misunderstanding…”
Liu Nuanyu let out a long sigh.
“That really is possible… Otherwise, nothing between those two makes any sense.”
“Ugh…”
“It’s like a stone in a latrine.”
“Smelly and impossible to move.”
Sun Du chuckled helplessly.
“You really…”
“Forget it.”
“I’ve done everything I can from here.”
“I’ll take over once I arrive.”
“You should head back to your dormitory and put away your luggage.”
“…Alright.”
Just as the conversation ended—
Ding-dong.
The doorbell rang.
“Oh!”
Lu Xiaoxiao smiled.
“Brother Sun’s back.”
“Really?”
“I’ll get the door.”
She hurried over and opened it.
Standing outside was Sun Du.
“Where did you go?”
“Dean Chang dragged me away.”
“I even ended up signing a contract.”
He smiled helplessly before asking,
“How did your conversation go?”
“It was fine.”
“Oh!”
“I almost forgot.”
Lu Xiaoxiao brightened.
“Brother Sun, let me introduce someone.”
She led him into the living room.
“Brother Sun, this is Shino.”
“The friend I mentioned before.”
“She’s one of the few friends I have.”
Then she turned toward Shino.
“Shino, this is Sun Du.”
“My childhood friend.”
“The one we talked about earlier.”
Sun Du smiled politely.
“Hello.”
“…Hello.”
Shino Genai lowered her head and answered softly.
She seemed to gather the courage to look directly at him.
But after only a brief glance…
She immediately lowered her eyes again.
She’s genuinely timid…
Sun Du quietly observed her.
So where does this fear of strangers come from?
When she confronted Liu Nuanyu earlier…
Did she overcome that fear?
Or was she simply driven by an even greater fear?
He silently filed the question away.
Now that Sun Du had returned, Liu Nuanyu could finally leave.
“Sister Xiao…”
“I should go put my luggage back in my dorm.”
“We can chat later.”
“Okay!”
“See you later, Sister Liu!”
“Bye!”
Carrying several bags, Liu Nuanyu headed toward the door.
Before leaving, she instinctively glanced at Sun Du.
“What?”
“…Nothing.”
Forget it.
We’ll talk later.
The student dormitories weren’t far from the staff residences.
Walking at a normal pace, it only took about ten minutes.
Liu Nuanyu wasn’t in a hurry.
She had too much on her mind.
Buzz… Buzz…
Her phone vibrated again.
This time, it wasn’t Sun Du.
It was her roommate.
She had already sent several messages that morning.
Mizuki: Nuanyu, have you arrived at school yet?
Liu Nuanyu: Yep. Been here for a while.
I’m just taking my luggage back now.
Mizuki: Need help?
Liu Nuanyu: No.
Just open the door for me.
I’m almost there.
Liu Nuanyu walked along the familiar path.
Ahead stood rows of neat, identical buildings.
Unlike Sun Du’s detached villa, the student dormitories were two-story duplexes shared by two students.
Every building looked almost exactly the same.
They weren’t especially large, with only a few meters separating neighboring houses.
Still…
Considering they were built for magical girls, the accommodations were already excellent.
Each year’s intake only consisted of around a dozen students per region.
Calling them “small villas” wouldn’t be much of an exaggeration.
The only reason Lu Xiaoxiao had moved out was because she feared exposing her secret.
Otherwise, she had always been satisfied with the dorms.
There were exactly one hundred student residences arranged neatly in rows.
Since Wutong Academy occupied a vast area on the outskirts of the city, space wasn’t an issue.
Magical girls normally trained for eight years before graduating upon reaching the Fourth Rank.
The Fourth Rank represented a tremendous leap.
The gap between the Third and Fourth Ranks exceeded the gap between an ordinary human and a Third-Rank magical girl.
It was also the absolute limit ordinary gene-enhanced warriors could reach.
In the past…
Only nuclear weapons had posed any meaningful threat to someone at that level.
Naturally, reaching that stage required tremendous resources.
Most magical girls spent over a year advancing to the Second Rank.
Around three more years to reach the Third Rank.
Another four years to break into the Fourth Rank.
Even then, many still needed several years of real-world experience before succeeding.
Beyond the Fourth Rank…
Talent became indispensable.
Another enormous bottleneck appeared at the Seventh Rank.
Few magical girls reached it within a century.
Fortunately, that wasn’t something the academy’s instructors needed to worry about.
People like Chang Wutong and Jiang Wuqiu were considered true prodigies.
They had reached the Seventh Rank in only twenty years.
Given that each region only produced around a dozen magical girls annually, housing two hundred students was more than sufficient.
Even the academy’s highest enrollment on record—twenty-six students in a single year—had still left plenty of empty rooms.
Soon, Liu Nuanyu arrived at Dormitory No. 76.
She was just about to unlock the door.
Bang!
The door swung open first.
“Nuanyu!”
“I told you we have telepathy!”
“I opened the door the moment you got here!”
Liu Nuanyu rolled her eyes.
“Oh, please.”
“You probably just wanted to order snacks again.”
“Stop bothering the delivery spirits.”
“Hehe.”
“That’s what they’re for.”
“Besides, isn’t it the academy’s magical servants doing all the work?”
“They’re magical constructs.”
“Not AI.”
“And honestly…”
She looked her roommate up and down.
“…You look like a complete mess.”
Standing in the doorway was Liu Nuanyu’s roommate—
Yuya Mizuki.
Her long orange hair was thoroughly disheveled.
A loose trench coat hung carelessly from her shoulders.
Despite her sleepy appearance, her bright eyes sparkled with energy, and a cheerful smile never left her face.
She possessed a voluptuous figure, long fair legs, and a naturally alluring charm.
Combined with her lively personality, she was extremely popular around campus.
“I’ll help carry your luggage.”
“Oh!”
“Did you bring me anything delicious?”
Liu Nuanyu sighed.
“You look like you’ll collapse if the wind blows.”
“What kind of help could you possibly be?”
“And no.”
“I didn’t have time to prepare food for you.”
“You should eat less anyway.”
“Look at all that extra fat.”
Mizuki immediately puffed out her chest.
“I’m not fat!”
“I’m voluptuous!”
Her oversized coat stretched alarmingly as she proudly thrust out her chest, nearly causing an embarrassing wardrobe malfunction.
Liu Nuanyu quickly looked away.
“Enough.”
“I’m putting my luggage away first.”
“Then I’ll tell you everything that’s happened these past few days.”
“Great!”
“I’ve been bored to death staying at school.”
“We’re definitely having a long chat.”
“Oh!”
She suddenly leaned closer.
“So…”
“When you went out this time…”
“Did you meet any handsome guys?”
“…Not exactly.”
Liu Nuanyu hesitated.
Then, after a brief silence, she quietly asked,
“Mizuki…”
“Do you know how to apologize to a boy?”
“A boy?”
“Apologize?”
Mizuki’s sleepy expression vanished instantly.
She grabbed Liu Nuanyu’s shoulders.
“What kind of boy?”
“Is he handsome?”
“How old is he?”
“What’s his personality like?”
“What happened between you two?”
“Stop! Stop!”
Liu Nuanyu hurriedly pushed her away.
“I only wanted to ask how to apologize!”
“You have to explain everything first.”
“If I don’t know the situation…”
“How am I supposed to give you advice?”
“…Fine.”
Liu Nuanyu sighed in defeat.
“I’ll tell you after I finish unpacking.”
“I’ll help!”
“I already told you…”
“I don’t need your help!”
