The so-called "last night" did not go as anyone had expected.

After experiencing the so-called "painful massage," the squad leader fell into deep self-doubt.

Even though she had used all her patience, she still couldn't endure the pain for long, let alone derive pleasure from such extreme pain.

Why was my Grandmother able to do it so easily?

Why can he and Luo Di exhibit such a high degree of "compatibility with suffering"?

Why can't I do it myself?

After trying three times in a row,

The class monitor gave up completely.

He simply curled up in a corner, remaining motionless to recover from his injuries.

Her confidence, which had been boosted by her resurrection from hell and the inheritance of the nursing home, seemed to be brought back to square one at this moment.

After squatting for a full half hour, she didn't even want to go back to her own bed, as if she felt unworthy to sleep in the same bed as Luo Di.

He lay down on the floor, stared at the ceiling, and even started talking to himself.

"That's fine... I really overestimated myself. This is my level."

Grandmother would definitely love for me to die during my promotion, so she could have you completely. Whatever—I've already died once anyway.

No sooner had he finished speaking than a strong hand suddenly grabbed the class monitor's waist and abdomen, flipping his lying body 180 degrees so he was face down on the ground.

Following closely behind,

A body weighing approximately 85 kilograms sat on her lap.

The ten fingers fell on his back once again.

This time, it's no longer about inflicting pain, but rather a normal massage limited to the skin's surface.

The squad leader's body was initially somewhat stressed, but as Luo Di's nimble fingers slid across his back, applying just the right amount of pressure to the acupoints, he gradually relaxed.

Before she could speak,

Luo Di, who was sitting on her lap, spoke first:

"If your 'disguise' is only this good, the sorority wouldn't have even approached you, right? There's no need to deliberately amplify your emotions and pretend like this; frankly, it's a bit disgusting."

The class monitor's expression immediately returned to normal, and all negativity vanished.

"Hey! That word 'disgusting' is a bit too harsh! I was just worried you wouldn't notice. Mmm... so comfortable. To be honest, you shouldn't have any massage training, how come you're so skilled?"

"Didn't you take me to try it out quite a few times in the underground? Observing or feeling the actions that others perform on my body, you can roughly learn it by simply switching between different mental states, right?"

Just like when we have Physical Education Class,

Running, swimming, weightlifting, boxing, and basic combat sports—aren't they all like that?

"Okay, okay~ That's a classic line. People would target you if you said that at school... Ouch! Be gentle, be gentle. You just hurt me here. It hurts."

Yes, yes, right here! Press this spot, it feels so good!

During the assembly, the squad leader remained on edge.

In addition, I barely slept in the bathroom last night.

Under such a comfortable massage that required no vigilance, she unknowingly fell asleep.

She entered a "deep sleep" that she rarely achieved, instead of the shallow sleep she used to be in, where she was always on alert and would wake up at the slightest sound.

There's no need to consider the danger for now.

No dreams

There are no Corner's Whisper.

There was nothing.

When the squad leader woke up again, it was just past six o'clock the next morning.

She was lying on the bed in her pajamas; the bedding on the floor had already been put away.

Beside her lay Luo Di, fast asleep, his soft snores audible. He seemed exhausted, just as exhausted as the night before.

Breakfast.

All food ingredients used during the gathering were sourced from the wild.

Hot goat milk, pigeon eggs, stewed beef, and various fruits are all mild foods.

Grandmother and her six sisters have all arrived at the scene.

Hua Yuan ran his fingers up and down between his lips. "Isabella probably too exhausted to get out of bed after a whole night? Today's breakfast is very important. I'll go and wake her up."

Just as she was preparing to go find the person with some selfish motives,

A hurried running sound came from the Back Gate. The two finally arrived, but they were still three minutes late.

According to the usual rules, being late would result in punishment from the Grandmother, but today the Grandmother seemed to be in a good mood and did not punish the two of them at all, not even a word of criticism.

"Everyone, let's begin. During the morning meal, I will discuss the most important matter of this gathering: the promotion."

Given the exceptionally high quality of your class this year, and considering that I am currently expanding the organization of the corners, we will no longer be using the Crevice screening this year.

It is a completely different promotion model.

This is a way to select high-caliber talent for Special Organization like our sorority. It can give you a better "Corner Identity."

Similarly, it is more dangerous than traditional Crevice screening.

This method was tried once among the sorority sorority, but it failed. I learned my lesson and waited until the most outstanding sorority sorority to try it again.

Upon hearing this, the women present were all stunned for a moment, and the atmosphere became subtle.

The class monitor also realized that her guess last night might have been wrong; she had oversimplified the situation.

When everyone had almost finished eating,

Grandmother's hand seemed to pull something out from deep within her body, and she handed it out from behind her hat flap, placing it on the table.

This is an envelope made of pure white leather, sealed with a three-pronged wax seal representing a "corner," and the envelope as a whole exudes an unsettling aura.

The moment it was placed on the table, everyone's attention and thoughts were automatically drawn to it, and their pupils felt as if they were covered with a layer of envelope-like material.

"This is..."

When Hua Yuan, the most senior member of this cohort, saw this envelope, it seemed to bring back some very unpleasant memories.

I remembered when she first joined the sorority, she was taken care of by an older sister, and it was the first time she had ever been truly cared for.

At the morning banquet that year, her Grandmother also took out a similar envelope. By the time Hua Yuan went to inquire about that older sister, she had already died.

Perhaps it was the emotional fluctuations they sensed.

Grandmother's gaze also fell upon them.

"Hua Yuan, you saw this thing when you first came to the sorority, before your pituitary gland was fully developed, right?"

"I've met you."

"That's perfect, you can tell everyone what this is."

"The Corner Wanted Order: Wanted" is a list of wanted monsters who violate the rules of Sumikko Gurashi, return to the Human World in a special way, commit heinous acts, and disrupt the balance of the world.

When the specific term "monster" was uttered, all the sisters' pupils noticeably dilated.

"That's right! Given that you are the best generation, I have submitted an application to the Corner on behalf of the organization."

You've been given two Wanted Poster to choose from. If you can get promoted in this way, you'll be able to go to the corner with a higher status, and your future path will be easier.

and,

Completing Wanted Poster will also earn you very good rewards and bring greater recognition to the organization.

Hua Yuan, you are already stronger than those sisters back then. I believe that under your leadership, everyone can achieve it.

This can be considered making up for the regret of back then. I was too hasty and wasted two of my favorite granddaughters.

"Good..."

Hua Yuan's eyes were completely bloodshot, and her body twisted involuntarily, making constant cracking sounds from her joints. It even felt as if her physique was growing larger, and a strong aura of aggression emanated from her.
