The issues stemming from Du Qiangwei's assault on the male students were finally addressed by the school administration the following day. The school's higher-ups decided to hold a unified meeting for all teachers and students. This meeting would take place in the largest building at the center of Super Seminary, and students and teachers from the regular classes were also required to attend.

It was a massive auditorium, capable of holding nearly ten thousand people. However, when Wei Zitong and the others walked in, they were a bit stunned.

Adding the regular class students and teachers, the total school population was barely a thousand. The Super Seminary class was even more pathetic; including the teachers, there were fewer than thirty people in total...

With so few people, the vast auditorium felt incredibly empty.

Wei Zitong and the others casually found seats towards the back. Ge Xiaolun, however, kept looking around. Wei Zitong knew who he was looking for and said with a smile, "Stop looking. She's the 'main character' today. Assaulting classmates, tsk tsk tsk. It caused over thirty people to be hospitalized and more than twenty to drop out!"

Hearing this, Ge Xiaolun looked worried and quickly asked, "What should we do? Will she be expelled?"

"You're overthinking it!" Wei Zitong said. "Even if all those people were beaten to death, the academy wouldn't expel her!"

"Really?" Ge Xiaolun clearly didn't quite believe it.

"Do I get money for lying to you?" Wei Zitong rolled his eyes impatiently.

"Hehehe!" Ge Xiaolun scratched his head sheepishly. Just as he was about to say something, his attention was captured by Zhao Xin's exclamation, "Wow, a top beauty."

Wei Zitong also looked in that direction and saw Qilin. He knew Qilin must have arrived, but she was very low-key; he had barely seen her before.

"Hey, hey, hey, isn't that the pretty little police officer? She's here too?" Liu Chuang's eyes lit up. At the same time, he patted Wei Zitong and Ge Xiaolun on the shoulder.

It wasn't just him; the other guys, including Cheng Yaowen, also had wolfish glints in their eyes!

"You guys know her?" Cheng Yaowen asked in surprise.

"She arrested me and took me to the station, what do you think?" Wei Zitong said with a wry smile.

Hearing this, Liu Chuang looked dejected, while Ge Xiaolun appeared extremely embarrassed.

"Tsk, tsk, the uniform temptation!" Cheng Yaowen didn't care about any of that; he only cared if it was a beauty.

"Damn, won't she arrest people again after coming in here?" Zhao Xin suddenly got a bit scared. After all, he had been involved in the underworld back in the harbor district.

However, he wasn't as aimless as Liu Chuang. To be precise, he was influenced by the popular movie "Young and Dangerous" and wanted to be a righteous boss, someone who stood up for injustice. But fighting and brawling were common, and he often had dealings with the cops.

"Probably not. Compared to the police station, this place belongs to a higher-level security department. You should be more afraid of this place!" Wei Zitong said with a smile.

"Damn it, this is a rip-off!" Zhao Xin and Liu Chuang shouted in unison, almost standing up to run out. Seeing Wei Zitong's mischievous grin, they immediately calmed down. "Are you bluffing us?"

"It's not me bluffing you," Wei Zitong said, his smile fading. "It's just that now that you're here, you can't view things with your old perspective. You're no longer thugs on the streets; you must be aware of this!"

"That sounds so reasonable!" Zhao Xin said with a look of disdain. He didn't like being lectured, especially by someone his own age.

"Zitong is right," Cheng Yaowen said, strongly agreeing with Wei Zitong's statement. "Regardless of our past identities, once we enter Super Seminary, once we enter Xiong Bing Lian, we are only soldiers, warriors!"

Zhao Xin was about to say something else, but the meeting had already begun. Ryze the Wanderer walked onto the stage. Wei Zitong didn't see any principals or deans.

"Good morning, teachers and students. I am Ryze the Wanderer." Ryze the Wanderer stood on the podium and gave an impassioned speech, paying no mind to the shock his appearance caused to the worldview of the students from the regular classes. A few timid girls were even scared to tears.

Ryze the Wanderer was talking about something on stage, but Wei Zitong and the others weren't interested in listening. After briefly enjoying the psychological damage this ancient monster was inflicting on the regular class students, they started chatting amongst themselves again.

"Speaking of which, I heard Teacher Liu mention that a goddess is coming in a few days. What do you think?" Wei Zitong initiated the topic. Actually, Ryze the Wanderer hadn't said anything, but he knew she was coming. He just didn't know when, so Wei Zitong used a rather vague term – "in a few days."

"When did he say that?" Ge Xiaolun asked.

"Who cares? Let's go chase her!" Zhao Xin said indifferently.

"Oh, wait, I misspoke. She's a female god, not just a goddess. It's said she's coming specifically to punish us!" Wei Zitong said.

"Damn, are we going to be punished every day?" Zhao Xin's expression immediately soured. "Aren't we punished enough by Du Qiangwei? My back still hurts!"

"Didn't they say there's another round of assessment coming?" Cheng Yaowen said. "It's probably this goddess."

"When is she coming? Should we all go together when she arrives?" Liu Chuang asked.

"Let's go. Let's invite people from other classes too. If anything really happens, we can all get into trouble together!" Cheng Yaowen glanced at the others in the Super Seminary class and said.

"You got it!" Liu Chuang nodded vigorously. "That's the spirit!"

"By the way, aren't you guys going to talk about her appearance?" Zhao Xin asked, confused.

"No more talking!" Wei Zitong said. "I think Qiangwei is the prettiest. No one else can compare!" As he spoke, he glanced at Ge Xiaolun and saw the hostile look he received.

"No, Qiangwei is too violent. The female police officer from just now is much better!" Cheng Yaowen waved his hand and said. "She has a gentle personality, and her looks and figure are just as good as Qiangwei's!"

"Damn, why do I think they're all goddesses?" Zhao Xin said, feeling a bit depressed.

"You're a loser!"

Wei Zitong and Cheng Yaowen said in unison.

"What are you guys talking about?"

A cold voice came from beside Wei Zitong. Immediately after, Du Qiangwei's figure appeared in the seat next to Wei Zitong. Seeing her with her legs crossed and arms folded across her chest, Wei Zitong felt no amazement; his scalp tingled!

Everyone immediately fell silent, especially Cheng Yaowen, who had just called Du Qiangwei violent. His face immediately turned into a bitter gourd, as a flying knife was constantly flashing near his neck!

Ge Xiaolun's eyes were fixed, and he almost couldn't resist rushing over to fight Wei Zitong!

"I heard you think I'm the prettiest? That no one else can compare?" Du Qiangwei said this sentence without any emotion, but to Wei Zitong, it was like a thunderbolt from the blue. She was forcing Ge Xiaolun to fight him!

"I was just saying it casually..." Wei Zitong said in a low voice. "Can you stop playing like this? You know why I said that, right?"

"What reason could there be?" Du Qiangwei said dismissively. "Isn't it just using me, a prop, as an excuse?"

"..." Wei Zitong leaned back in his chair, taking a deep breath. He had nothing to say. Du Qiangwei was still bringing that up, and he really had nothing to say.

"How did you know Lena was coming?" Du Qiangwei changed the subject abruptly. "I can count the times Teacher Liu met with you. He couldn't have told you!"

"Are you sure you can really keep an eye on me?" Wei Zitong retorted. He said the words "You can't see me" in front of Du Qiangwei, and then his figure disappeared...

Du Qiangwei froze for a moment. She reached out to touch the seemingly empty seat, but a large hand pushed hers away. At the same time, Wei Zitong's voice came from her ear, "Don't touch anything. I'm just invisible, not gone!"

With that, Wei Zitong deactivated his invisibility and reappeared before everyone. Zhao Xin and the others, seeing this for the first time, couldn't help but exclaim, "Holy crap!" Liu Chuang and Ge Xiaolun, however, were used to it.

"It's truly amazing!" Du Qiangwei nodded. "How about this: when Lena arrives, you'll be the first to challenge her. I'll let bygones be bygones!"

"You might as well let him go!" Wei Zitong said, pointing at Ge Xiaolun. He knew Du Qiangwei was also wary of Lena, as she was one of Lena's assessment targets. She needed a pawn to test Lena's strength. "He can take a beating!"

Du Qiangwei turned her gaze to Ge Xiaolun. Ge Xiaolun's hostile stare at Wei Zitong immediately deflated. After stammering for a while, as if making a firm decision, he looked up with a resolute expression and said, "Okay! I can do it!"

This was the first promise he made to the one he admired, and it was exceptionally solemn!

However, after getting her answer, Du Qiangwei didn't give Ge Xiaolun another glance. She simply said, "Alright, it's settled," and disappeared from her seat.
