Chapter 103: Chapter 48: Dressing Room Horror

She endured the erosion of the white powder particles expressionlessly, not withdrawing her feet from the water until the last bit had left the pool.

Then, someone’s back truly emerged from the water...

She placed her feet back on the shore and then looked towards Lin Yi.

Below Lin Yi, the white tiles at the bottom were faintly distorting, but—just distorting.

She bent down to reach out, ready to pull Lin Yi out of the water.

But Lin Yi didn’t wait for her to fully bend down; he had already emerged from the water, wearing a smile that radiated "I came prepared."

It gave off a sense of déjà vu as if saying, "The same move could not affect a Saint Fighter twice."

The athletic girl was taken aback, as Lin Yi’s adaptability had exceeded her expectations, so...

She pressed down on Lin Yi’s shoulders, shoving half of his body back into the water.

"Keep training."

Seeing that Lin Yi was unharmed, she stood up again and walked to the other side.

"So, uh..."

Lin Yi’s voice suddenly came from behind her.

She paused in her step and turned, revealing a flawless profile.

"Something wrong?"

"Are you alright?" Lin Yi asked with some concern.

She realized something, her gaze dropping to the white powder particles that had almost climbed halfway up her thigh.

"That is not your concern," she said coldly and headed straight for the edge of the Swimming Hall.

Lin Yi pursed his lips but still followed her with his eyes.

She was naturally aware of it, so she deliberately stopped and said:

"What are you looking at? Focus on your training!"

After speaking, she continued to walk towards the edge of the Swimming Hall.

Lin Yi shrank his neck and quietly paddled in the water.

For some reason, after kicking his feet out twice, he felt as though he had broken through some kind of barrier, feeling invigorated as though a shackle had been shattered.

Knowing that this was certainly thanks to the athletic girl, he sneaked a glimpse at her retreating figure before immediately withdrawing his gaze.

The athletic girl, heading towards the edge without pause, muttered softly:

"Idiot."

"Did she think I couldn’t feel it?"

The edge of the Swimming Hall led to a deep, secluded corridor.

Along the corridor, old oil lamps were hung at intervals.

She arrived in front of the corridor, stopping before a white line.

This white line was the boundary designated by the Gymnasium’s regulations for Sports Students to experience.

She glanced at the white line, then lifted her leg, which was covered in white powder particles, and stepped over it.

Her leg, coated with the white powder, looked as if she wore a thick pair of thigh-high white silk stockings. And when she extended her foot into that area, the old oil lamp’s light suddenly enveloped her leg.

"Whirr..."

The flame of the old oil lamp flickered slightly, as if swaying in a gust of wind.

She looked at her leg to see the white powder particles hardening at a visible rate under the light of the old oil lamp.

From white powder particles, they turned into a plaster-like substance.

Her leg quickly became as rigid as plaster.

She furrowed her brows, a golden flame rising in her eyes.

She lifted her foot and stomped heavily on the ground.

"Crack... Crunch..."

Fine cracks spread across the plaster-like substance in response.

She shook her foot, and the plaster-like substance covering almost her entire leg crumbled away like dried tree bark.

She glanced indifferently at the white plaster-like substance, retracted her leg, and then walked back to Lin Yi without looking back.

Lin Yi quickly averted his eyes and focused on practicing his swimming technique.

"Get out, it’s over," the athletic girl said matter-of-factly as she reached the edge of the pool.

"Actually, I was just looking at the time," Lin Yi argued, "I’ve only swum for 50 minutes, not even a full hour..."

"Then you continue, I’m leaving," the athletic girl dropped the words and walked straight in the opposite direction to the women’s changing room.

Behind her, a splash sounded, and without looking, she knew Lin Yi had surfaced and reached the shore.

"So... it seems like you’re okay now?" He looked at the athletic girl’s leg, which had previously appeared as if it were painted with white paint, and now, after a round trip, somehow returned to its pristine and seemingly oiled glow under the LED lights...

"There’s a lot of information in your eyes, look again and I’ll throw you back into the pool," the athletic girl’s icy voice made Lin Yi shiver, and he quickly withdrew his gaze, standing erect.

"Today’s swimming lessons are over, remember to be on time for the next session," she said calmly, looking at Lin Yi.

Lin Yi’s heart leapt, "Will you be the one to continue swimming lessons with me next time?"

The athletic girl rarely pondered, then inclined her head slightly and said, "If nothing unexpected happens, yes."

"Then... how should I address you?" Lin Yi said nervously, "Oh right, my name is Lin Yi."

"I know you’re Lin Yi," the athletic girl glanced at his waterproof card case, then said, "You can call me like they do..."

"’Boss,’ then."

"Boss?" Lin Yi repeated softly, unsure why, but calling someone, especially a girl, ’boss’ felt odd.

It was like relying on someone else who seemed even more formidable...

"Oh right, before you leave, remember to wash off, and if there’s another Sports Student nearby, you can ask him to watch out for you, then make sure to wash your hair properly."
