Volume 1 Chapter 7: Defeating Magic with Magic!

Perhaps after collapsing for the first time and replenishing with glucose, eating some bread, and starting military training again, Ning Chu did not faint once more.

Thinking about it, it was absurd. A healthy young man like him shouldn’t be less resilient than delicate girls.

Finally, around noon, with the instructor’s command, Ning Chu’s body immediately relaxed. His legs went soft, and he sat on the ground.

“I’m exhausted.” He took off his hat, fanned himself with it, tugged at his collar, and breathed heavily. “They’ve worked me to a sweat.”

In the scorching summer, the training uniform consisted of long sleeves, long pants, and a hat. Sweat had soaked through his clothes and hair.

“Ning Chu!”

Not even having a minute to rest alone, Zhang Shaoqing had already trotted over. Just as he was about to speak, he sniffed a few times with a sensitive nose.

“What’s that smell? It’s quite nice.”

Alarm bells rang loudly in Ning Chu’s mind. His eyes narrowed, quickly changing the subject, “What do you want?”

“We agreed to go and be a third wheel for Wen Yang at noon. It’s time to go.”

“Didn’t you say you didn’t want to squeeze in the canteen and wouldn’t go?”

Zhang Shaoqing scratched his head. After some investigation, he found out that Wen Yang’s girlfriend is actually his childhood friend, Ling Ling.

After a slight hesitation, he approached and lowered his voice, saying, “Actually, Wen Yang’s girlfriend, Ling Ling, grew up with me since childhood. I…”

“And what of it?”

“I like Ling Ling.”

As expected! Zhang Shaoqing’s blackening was triggered by Ling Ling!

Ning Chu stared straight into Zhang Shaoqing’s eyes, clearly seeing possessiveness deep within them.

“Don’t worry, they’ve only been together for a few days, at most they have just been holding hands.”

His comforting words made Zhang Shaoqing visibly relieved.

“If you like her, why don’t you confess?”

He helplessly smiled, “She sees me as a brother, and besides, they say rabbits don’t eat at the same burrow, so I…”

“You’re silly. Why would you let some old people saying stop you from confessing!”

Ning Chu rested for a few minutes, catching his breath. Propping himself up on his sore legs, he stood up and looked into the distance to find Wen Yang.

Target locked! Completely ruin Wen Yang and Ling Ling’s relationship!

In reality, there wasn’t much of a relationship between them; these two had only known each other for a few days. To call it a relationship was more like being attracted to each other’s bodies.

After considering for a moment, he turned to Zhang Shaoqing and asked, “If you tell Wen Yang about this, would he break up with Ling Ling?”

“Let’s try.”

“Hey! Over there! Wen Yang and Ling Ling are about to leave the playground!” Ning Chu’s eyes lit up, finally spotting the target in the distance. He pushed Zhang Shaoqing’s shoulder, urging him, “Hurry! Go be a third wheel, so they won’t publicly display affection.”

Once he heard the words “public display of affection,” Zhang Shaoqing’s eyes turned red, and he rushed out, sprinting towards the playground exit.

Ning Chu breathed a sigh of relief.

Defeating the plot with plot characters! He didn’t have to personally intervene!

Now he could put his mind at ease about this plot. With Zhang Shaoqing’s personality, he would never let the plot of “Ling Ling pushing Wen Yang” come true.

After sweating through military training, feeling sticky all over, Ning Chu wrinkled his nose in disgust. He decided not to join the hustle and bustle of the canteen and headed back towards the dormitory.

He planned to take a shower and change his clothes, but the training uniform would have to wait until evening to be washed; otherwise, he wouldn’t have anything to wear in the afternoon.

On the way from the playground to the dormitory area, he had to pass through a large square garden. Entering the square, Ning Chu’s gaze was quickly drawn to the numerous booths.

“Club recruitment?”

Muttering to himself, he looked around and noticed that school clubs in this world were more open and bold. Look at the swimming club; several bikini-clad beauties attracted countless gazes.

In fact, the attire of women here was also more revealing.

In the scorching heat, most female students were wearing shorts and skirts, their long legs on full display.

Ning Chu’s mood was good at the moment. Although his lower abdomen still throbbed slightly, he stood in place, seemingly looking at the booths for club recruitment. However, his gaze was actually drifting towards the legs of the girls.

“The quality is exceptionally high.”

“If this were in my previous life, it would at least be the standard for a talent show.”

Enjoying the view of beautiful girls on the square for about ten minutes, Ning Chu happily hummed a song and returned to the dormitory, feeling content.

Coming to this world also had its benefits.

As long as he prevented the novel’s plot from happening in reality, he would have a wide range of choices for his future wife.

Pushing open the dormitory door, Wang Jie was already sitting in front of the computer with a takeout box, glancing at Ning Chu before continuing to focus on the computer screen, watching a game livestream while eating.

Ning Chu took a glance at his screen, then walked directly to the mirror on the wall.

Feeling the refreshing coolness from the air conditioner and fan, he surveyed himself in the mirror.

The training uniform was unusually large, and coupled with his small stature, the sleeves were a full section longer than his arms. The top covered his buttocks, and the pants were loose, sagging down. If he wasn’t careful, he might step on them.

He looked like a child playing dress-up in his father’s clothes, cute yet messy.

A bit dissatisfied, Ning Chu rolled up his sleeves and tucked the hem of his shirt into his pants.

This looked much neater. When he tightened the belt, his slender waist was completely highlighted, making him appear more like a young girl.

He returned to the desk, opened his shirt, and lazily lay back in the chair.

“It’s unbearably hot.”

“And it hurts…”

It wasn’t the pain in his lower abdomen but rather the result of the intense activities during military training and the rough texture of the short sleeves that caused discomfort in the front of his chest.

Ning Chu looked at the fabric lifted on his chest, his eyebrows furrowed, feeling increasingly uneasy.

Fortunately, there was still a training uniform to use as a cover during military training.

It seemed like he was developing from red beans towards small buns…

The uplifting effect of looking at beautiful girls had suppressed his spirits.

Ning Chu pursed his lips, contemplating all the possibilities of turning into a girl. He lowered his head, held his phone absentmindedly in his hands, and absentmindedly selected some takeout.

Since he was playing the role of a female in the plot, how exactly would he transform into a girl?

His hands involuntarily rested on his still throbbing lower abdomen.

Could it be a gender abnormality?

Combining today’s abdominal pain, excessively short stature, and the painful sensation of development in the chest… Ning Chu could only come up with this guess.

But if that were the case, wouldn’t he always become a girl no matter what he did in the future? It could even be said that he was already a woman now.

That would be too terrifying!

“Ning Chu! Good news!”

The dormitory door suddenly burst open with a kick. Ning Chu shivered, and the phone was scared out of his hands. He looked bewildered as the phone landed on his thigh, bounced up, and tumbled toward the ground.

“Hiss, Zhang Shaoqing!”

“Why are you staring at me like that?”
