"About the Teachers Saying I'm a Genius When I'm Actually an Idiot-How Do I Keep My Degree?"
Morphedria.
He murmured.
The universe did not answer him.
Lioz nodded.
So that's how it is; He died.
Lioz showed no disappointment, only coldly commenting.
"It's over, I should start now."
Lioz opened his eyes, showing neither sadness nor anger, nor even a trace of disappointment. These emotions, possessed by mortals, meant nothing to him.
He never had those emotions, nor did he need them.
Lioz looked at his reflection in the glass—the brilliant blue of the starry sky in his eyes was gradually fading.
"... Not enough."
Li Aoz is gradually waking up, and his will will gradually descend, allowing him to regain control of his body.
However, this statement is not very accurate.
They are one entity, so why talk about fighting for control?
Lioz simply stood up; he didn't want to waste any more time on this pointless argument.
He gazed down at the ground from high above, walked around for a while, and then laid out his plan.
"He is me, and I am him. There's no need to be shy about memories—but Li Aoz too emotional, and I can't trust him."
"Too few memories, even if they leave behind a personality, won't be enough to assist—so let's activate more instincts."
He opened his hand, and the authority of the Paradox faintly appeared. If he wished, it could be transformed into a gene seed and implanted into his body immediately.
He doesn't have much power left; even Li Aoz has only managed to collect two so far.
Should we leave it to him? Lioz pondered for a moment.
"The authority of the top three in the sequence must not be left behind, otherwise it will attract rebels. He cannot survive in the hands of rebels."
"I can't sense the Pantheon, but it's not destroyed. I need to get it."
"Memory retrieval—we've already made contact with Gaia's lackeys. Very well, the lackeys of the Hidden Society are doomed to destruction."
"The magic of Star Abyss is very peculiar. I need to study it and combine it with authority. Only in this way will the 'society' bow down to them."
One more thing.
Lioz arranged many things, but there was one thing he could never participate in.
"... The disobedient are still roaming and hunting me."
Those forces that were once considered trump cards suddenly chose to betray at the most crucial moment, and they must have had their reasons.
They do not submit to 'society'. As noble beings, they have their own dignity and disdain to conform to the corrupt practices of society.
They simply hated themselves and were dissatisfied with the position given to them.
Lioz could not interfere with them, but he did not hate them. Hatred was meaningless to him; it was a cheap and inefficient thing.
However, if it were Li Aoz, perhaps he could reactivate this power and change their perceptions.
He could influence the Descendants and make them work for him, and he could also win the hearts of Gaia's councilors— Li Aoz had his own special talents, and he didn't need to interfere.
"Deployment complete, here you go."
Lioz closed his eyes and lay back in the chair.
"Refine your soul; you must continue to awaken."
"Ugh—damn, how long have I been unconscious? I hope I didn't miss my exam?"
When Li Aoz opened his eyes, he found himself on a warm and soft bed. He rubbed his head and slowly sat up. Once his mind was fully clear and he was freed from the pain, Li Aoz began to look around at his surroundings.
"Where am I?"
Li Aoz looked around blankly. He was certain that this was not his room, but a student dormitory somewhere.
Dormitory? School? Li Aoz vaguely sensed something.
He stepped forward, drew back the curtains, and outside the balcony, a magical light shimmered and sparkled, converging into a magnificent energy tide that undulated in the air, exceptionally beautiful and spectacular.
Li Aoz glanced at the campus layout and immediately recalled the place from his long gaming career.
Crystal Tower · White Candle Interstellar University.
One of the top magic academies, as Interstellar Academy, it brings together all the allies of the Crystal Tower, the elite talents of contacted civilizations and colonized planets.
It ranks third or fourth among the sixteen top Magic University.

"Return my ass!"
Li Aoz covered his head:
"I just wanted to get a bachelor's degree, what's the meaning of making me a Double First-Class university?"
"Besides, I was just unconscious for a while, how did I get directly admitted to university?"
"Now all the teachers treat me like a genius, but I'm an idiot. If I fail a course... will I be expelled?"
