Even in such a situation, Sonia did not lose her composure and shout. Instead, she calmly complained to the Observer, “You forced me to practice my swordplay and asked me to fight Felix. What exactly do you want me to do? To infiltrate the society of the Astra nobles and become your spy?”

“It’s not as complicated as you think,” said the Observer. “It’s just to arrange a battle for you, and the strongest person here is him. It just happens to be so, that’s all. It has nothing to do with whether he’s a noble or not. Of course, it’s even better if he’s a noble. I especially like to see a noble get beaten up. If possible, can you step on his face after you win… Forget it, I heard that some Astra nobles are very perverted. You should just spank him… Forget it, pretend I never said that.”

[Can you change it to someone else? I don’t want to have anything to do with Felix!]

“Why?”

[I’ve researched him a little,] said Sonia. [He’s very strange, and very dangerous.]

As the most approachable young noble in Sword Flower University, Sonia had naturally counted Felix in her list of potential targets. However, after some intelligence gathering, Sonia gave up on this seemingly tempting option.

It had nothing to do with his playboy attributes. Sonia did not think that being a playboy was her obstacle. What really stopped Sonia was Felix’s family situation and his band of ex-girlfriends.

Although rumors abounded out there that Felix was a walking reproduction machine that could sleep with ten women a day, after simple observation, Sonia discovered a secret—Felix had never actually taken a girlfriend out for the night.

Felix lived in a villa outside the school. Every night, after training, he would drive away from the school. His car, the “Sprinting Silver Tiger”, was one of its kind in the school, and Sonia would occasionally find it at night. He never took his girlfriend out of school at night, and he always went home alone.

Of course, it was also possible that he preferred daytime. However, Felix changed girlfriends every three days, and there were many noble ladies among them. Sonia did not quite believe he could wipe someone out in three days.

He acted more like he was collecting stamps than being lascivious.

Secondly, as the son of the Duke of Vosloda, it was hard not to think that he was involved in some political dispute to lower himself to attending Sword Flower University.

Sonia was not interested in growing up and fighting by his side. She was more interested in catching the young master of a newly risen upstart noble in recent years, so that she could enjoy the fruits of his labor and have a lot of room to maneuver. If her methods were good, it was not impossible for her to split the family assets.

With all these factors combined, Sonia could be said to be uninterested in Felix.

She had an entire forest, so naturally, she did not need to hang on this tree, and even had to stay far away from him—part of the reason was that Sonia had never come into contact with nobles, and her knowledge of them came from novels.

As for the traditional nobility in the novel, other than the male protagonist, all of them were villains who bullied the good and abused their power. Those who were not evil enough would even be kicked out of the nobility and become commoners.

Sonia, who had always been cautious or pessimistic, naturally did not think that she would meet a good noble. Naturally, she kept her distance from Felix, who obviously appeared more like a villainous classic noble.

“Does that mean that if you were to fight him, you would very likely get into trouble?”

[Exactly!] Sonia quickly said, [I don’t know what you want me to do, but I’m really weak now, so I have to develop properly first. I should keep a low profile as much as possible, and I shouldn’t—]

“This couldn’t be better.” The Observer said, “Causing trouble is exactly what I hope you’d do. I hope that you can keep a high profile and destroy all the enemies in front of you… Besides, isn’t this also your wish?”

“How could I have such a childish and arrogant wish!” Sonia roared.

“In that case,” The Observer bowed and said, “I wish you the best of luck in your first battle. I wish you luck in beating up that swordplay genius and trampling over the Astra nobility.”

[No, I will never—]

“Felix Vosloda. A genius in the School of Swordmastery.”

Sonia raised her wooden sword, pointed it at Felix, and said in an arrogant tone that she would never use, “You are the only one qualified to be the stepping stone for summoning my spell spirit.”

“Do you dare to fight me?”

The training ground was in an uproar, and the swordplay apprentices all had expectant looks. Celia almost bit her lip until it bled—as expected, her target was also Felix, and she even used such a cliché but effective method to directly establish a relationship with Felix!

Ingrit was stunned. “Sonia, you’ve just trained for two hours. Even if you want to compete in swordplay, you should wait until tomorrow…”

“No, it should be now.” Felix stepped out of the crowd and stared hard at Sonia. “Two hours, three thousand and six hundred swords, straight from beginner swordplay to the mastery of swordplay. You’re the most talented person I’ve ever met, and the second person who terrifies me. If I don’t take your challenge now, when I wake up tomorrow, I won’t even have the courage to draw my sword in front of you.”
