2. Admission to Broken Blade Academy

In this world, all armed forces and conflicts were built upon the power of Blade Dancers.

And immense power was always accompanied by danger and turmoil.

The "Magic Knight System" was one of the systems created to restrain these extraordinary individuals.

This world was likewise composed of many nations. Two organizations encompassing the vast majority of countries were known as the world's two great powers: The Alliance and the Union.

If The Alliance was an alliance organization formed by several major powers, then the Union was an alliance organization made up of countless small nations.

The Union, which had essentially been created to oppose The Alliance, was fully known as the International Magic Knight Union.

The "Magic Knight System" was a product of the Union.

This system stipulated that Blade Dancers had to graduate from a specialized school recognized by the Union, obtain a license and the social status known as a "Magic Knight," before they could legally use their abilities.

Using one's abilities recklessly would be defined as a "crime" and punished by law.

◆ If this sort of exposition feels unnecessary, let me know. The author will try to omit it in future chapters.

"Xiao Bai, do you really have to attend Broken Blade Academy?"

Before their departure, Yakushi Kiriko had lost all her usual composure and was practically clinging to White Night. "Isn't Lianzhen Academy good enough? It's all the same anyway."

Broken Blade and Lianzhen were both among the Seven Schools located in the Far East where one could obtain a Magic Knight license.

"No, Kiko~"

Perhaps it was the effect of Yin-Yang? Bronya had entered her Big Bronya stage earlier than usual. "They're different in the end. This is fate's guidance. (This is where the plot is headed.)"

With information exchanged between different dimensions, White Night naturally knew that many of the major events to come would take place at Broken Blade Academy. "Don't make a fuss, Kiko?"

"Then leave Bronya behind."

!!!

"That won't do, Kiko."

"That's right, Kiko. Bronya and White Night are two halves of one whole. We cannot be separated." Bronya also spoke up from the side, hoping Kiko would abandon the idea.

But how could Yakushi Kiriko agree? After that incident, White Night had become something different to her. "I don't care, I don't care! At least leave one of you behind!"

Girls always had privileges, especially pretty girls who could gather people around them. White Night was having a little trouble holding out and hurriedly called for support from his other half.

"Kiko, we're only going to school. It's not like we'll never come back. There's no need to be like this, right?"

Bronya stepped forward at the right moment. Her small, fair hand separated the two tangled together, then she pulled Kiko into her arms.

Emmm...

Hey! What are you doing, Bronya? Because of their shared senses, White Night could still clearly feel... that softness!

Can't you tell? Bronya is comforting Kiko. Bronya informed White Night telepathically. "There, there, Kiko. We'll miss you too."

"...Fine. But once the holidays come, you absolutely have to visit your big sister, okay~"

"Okay, Bronya will remember."

"And make sure to contact your big sister whenever you have time."

"Okay~ Got it, Kiko."

"And also, and also..."

"Okay, okay, okay~"

In the end, after signing a whole pile of agreements, Yakushi Kiriko finally let the two leave. Of course, as their big sister, she still stubbornly added, "Don't misunderstand. If you leave, no one will be left for me to study."

"Mm, of course I know. After all, Kiko, you're the Far East's number one doctor~" White Night laughed heartily and gave Yakushi Kiriko a thumbs-up.

Bronya also waved to Yakushi Kiriko from the side. "Then, Kiko, Bronya will be leaving first."

After saying goodbye to Yakushi Kiriko, the two boarded a Bullet Train and sat side by side by the window.

Due to strict regulations, White Night held a Wooden Sword in his arms to replace his Inherent Gear, resting with his eyes closed. "Bronya, how are we calculating the timing?"

"Bronya doesn't know either. Do you really care about details like when it begins?"

"Of course not."

"Yes, Bronya doesn't either."

Bronya's tone was calm. In her hands, the screen of a Handheld Console flickered rapidly. She was clearly playing at the highest difficulty. "Whether we run into him will depend on luck."

"Kurogane Ikki..."

White Night slowly closed his eyes, his tone somewhat wistful. So-called geniuses and mediocrities were decided from the moment they were born—Magic Power!

In this world, Magic Power represented the weight of fate. Unless one broke free from fate and became a Demon!

"But we aren't among them."

Bronya added from the side as she rapidly worked the Handheld Console. They were outsiders, and their fates did not exist in this world. That was why their Magic Power could continue growing.

But because of this, when it came to a Demon's control over fate, they could only touch upon the basics. Anything deeper was beyond them. "Though Stella..."

He had forgotten a little. If he remembered correctly... that girl was a born Demon in the setting! White Night recalled the basic setting. "It's a shame she developed in the wrong direction."

"Yeah. She actually became a fire mage. Didn't she ever think about what kind of fire mage would have such absurd Magic Power?"

The two talked like that without caring about anything. After all, they were the only ones in this carriage—they had booked every seat!

But there was a limit to asking and answering their own questions. After that, only the sound of Bronya pressing game buttons remained.

When the Bullet Train arrived, White Night carried bags of all sizes, standing in stark contrast to the unburdened Bronya. "Let's go, Bronya. To Broken Blade Academy."

"Bronya doesn't need you to remind her."

Ignoring the gazes cast their way, Bronya walked ahead in her Secondary Silver Wings outfit.

Seeing that, White Night shook his head helplessly. He turned around, his sharp gaze forcing the bystanders back before he followed after her. "It's like this every time. I'm practically getting used to it."

"Hmph~" Walking ahead, Bronya heard him as well, and a faint smile appeared on her exquisite, indifferent face.

"Yakushi White Night, Bronya."

In the Chairman's office, a mature beauty in a suit flipped through the two's files—Shinguji Kuroko, formerly ranked third in the world before she chose retirement after getting married.

"Your older sister is the publicly acknowledged number one doctor in the Far East, and she's also a third-year student at Lianzhen Academy. So why did the two of you come to Broken Blade Academy?"

"Forget it. It's good news for me. In recent years, Broken Blade Academy's student performance has declined year after year. With you joining us, it counts as adding powerful reinforcements."

◆ White Night and Bronya's ability ratings: Attack Power: A, A Defense: A, B Magic Power: B, A Magic Control: A, A Physical Ability: A, A Luck: E, E

Because Yin-Yang excelled in different areas, White Night and Bronya had slight differences in Defense and Magic Power.

Their control came from past training; as for luck, because their fates did not exist in this world, it could only be rated E.

Only Physical Ability was different—it originated from White Night's original world and his first Supernatural Ability, Life Chronicle!

◆ Life Chronicle

It could imprint the strengths of various living creatures and, to a certain extent, bestow them upon its user. Unfortunately...

After leaving the original world and losing the world's support, he had to analyze and record them himself.

This was also why White Night had studied under Yakushi Kiriko. Medical knowledge was quite useful for biological research.

Life Chronicle was also what allowed White Night to cross the Sea of Quanta. The imprints of countless creatures merged together like a miniature ecosystem, giving rise to the Miracle of Life:

—Life would always find a way out. It gave White Night extremely powerful adaptability, as well as... incredible luck when trapped in desperate situations.

Are You a Succubus?

"Alright, let's discuss the dorm arrangements. Since the number of new students is odd, one person is bound to live alone. Just so happens that Kurogane Ikki..."

Setting the files aside, Shinguji Kuroko took a drag from her lady's cigarette, preparing to assign dormitories to the two.

"Um... Chairman."

At that moment, White Night raised a hand to interrupt her. "Bronya and I have always been together, so there's no need to separate us. One room for the two of us will do."

???

You're already living together? If there's nothing going on between you two, I won't believe it.

"...Fine, I'll arrange one room for you."

After a moment of silence, Shinguji Kuroko agreed! She quickly signed the paperwork and finalized the matter. "Room number xxx. This will be your dormitory."

As for the rest, some insignificant procedures were quickly completed as well. The enrollment process came to an end.

"Bronya said the Chairman would agree. Even Stella can share a room with Kurogane..."

In the dormitory, Bronya sat on the bed, her flawless fair feet gently swinging and reflecting a soft sheen. "Bronya doesn't believe the academy has no spare rooms."

"Yes, yes, yes. So, Bronya, could you come down and help?"

"Bronya is tired from walking today and doesn't want to move." She rolled over onto the bed without the slightest guilt. After all, it was just herself~

"..."

White Night helplessly shook his head and continued tidying the dorm. There was nothing he could do about her. It was only because it was himself; otherwise, he would never indulge her like this! Once White Night had finished cleaning the room, he said, "Get up, Bronya. It's about time to go to the cafeteria."

"Mm... The sun is too bright, so Bronya isn't going out today."

Emmm...

Smile, keep smiling.jpg

Please provide the Chinese text you would like me to translate and revise.

Unable to endure it any longer, White Night lunged at Bronya, cut off their shared senses, and launched a tickling assault. "What do you mean, the sun is too bright? You're messing with me, aren't you?"

"...Hahaha~ I'll stop, I'll stop..."

After holding out for a while, Bronya could no longer suppress her laughter. Her limbs weakly resisted White Night.

On the bed, the girl with a lovely figure, emmm... she should count as a girl, right?

Bronya panted lightly, the full curves on her chest rising and falling with every breath. Her clothes were somewhat disheveled, faintly revealing a patch of fair skin.

But even so, White Night showed no reac... Fine, he still retreated in defeat. Even though she was himself, that destructive power was honestly a little too much.

"Splash, splash~"

White Night scooped up a handful of cold water and washed his face to clear his head. Only after calming down did he leave the bathroom, emmm... helplessly pressing one hand to his forehead. "Bronya, can you be a little more careful?"

"What's the problem?"

On the bed, Bronya wore only underwear, her fair and alluring figure fully exposed. But she did not care, calmly changing into her school uniform. "It's been almost ten years. Hasn't White Night gotten used to it yet?"

"...The main thing is, I don't want to stop being human this soon." White Night silently turned his back.

A rustling sound followed. Though he could not see it, it still left plenty to the imagination. "White Night can turn around now. Bronya has changed."

Her calm voice carried a soft, milky quality. Without thinking much about it, White Night turned back around. "...Bronya, this is what you call changed?"

"Isn't it?"

As she spoke, Bronya stretched out her long, beautiful legs and slowly pulled thin black stockings up her fair calves... At last, with a "snap~," the stockings lightly tightened around the flesh of her thighs.
