The instant her fingertips touched Lin Yan's shoulder.
MISS's fingers reflexively recoiled.
The surroundings instantly went pitch-black. Though it lasted only a moment, the sensation left MISS utterly shocked, her pretty face turning slightly pale.
What exactly was going on?
How could something like this happen?
MISS was experienced, and she reached a conclusion almost instantly.
The source of that unknown life fluctuation was the boy standing before her.
Lin Yan!

Negotiation (Please Send Flowers)
"Let's go."
MISS's smile was somewhat forced. She could not handle the situation before her alone; it was something she had never encountered before.
Perhaps Principal Ryze would have a solution.
"Xiao Yan."
Her uniform complemented her valiant bearing perfectly as Qi Lin walked over from afar. Whether in the poise between her brows or her manner of speech and movement, she seemed effortlessly free-spirited.
That temperament did not lose out to MISS's in the slightest.
Or rather, one was a gardenia, while the other was a red rose.
"Qi Lin, right?"
"Teacher MISS."
From the other woman's clothing and appearance, Qi Lin recognized her as Teacher MISS, the Goddess instructor of Super Seminary. Seeing her in person truly surpassed all she had heard.
"You're going to the principal's office, right, Qi Lin? Let's go together."
MISS was also quite polite to Qi Lin. It was practically a direct bodily response—was it really because she was wary of the boy before her?
She smiled bitterly inwardly.
"Alright."
Qi Lin had no reason to refuse.
The three of them arrived at the principal's office.
Ryze calmly asked a few insignificant questions. He and MISS had already exchanged glances, and he directly shifted the topic to Lin Yan.
"All cadets who join Super Seminary will become Super Soldiers who protect their homes, defend their nation, and safeguard the people."
"They are the pillars of the nation."
"As the family member of a Super Soldier, Lin Yan should naturally receive preferential treatment."
He gently rubbed the teacup, took a small sip, and fixed his gaze on Lin Yan.
From the exchange of looks with MISS, he learned that compared to Qi Lin, she was more interested in the little brat before them. Yet no matter how he looked at him, he was just a toddler.
If there was anything special about him.
At most, he possessed the Shenhe Generation 1 Gene like Qi Lin.
Lin Yan had long noticed Ryze's attention on him.
Yet it also seemed somewhat unfocused.
All of this was within his expectations.
Ryze was very powerful. Lena was utterly no match for him. Moreover, as a guardian, he had protected Earth for several thousand years.
"Since that's the case, Principal Ryze, Teacher MISS, I hope the academy will honor the conditions I previously proposed."
Qi Lin was not a forceful person.
But for Lin Yan's sake, she would not hesitate or back down in the slightest. Besides, those conditions had already been raised before she joined Super Seminary.
MISS was greatly surprised.
Ryze was also rather shocked.
In their eyes, Qi Lin merely possessed the Shenhe Generation 1 Gene and had no standing whatsoever to negotiate terms.
However—
When Ryze met Lin Yan's eyes, he felt an unprecedented sense of oppression. He had not expected his power to be so formidable.
"Conditions? What conditions?"
Ryze set down the teacup in his hand.
He straightened his posture.
MISS was astonished by Principal Ryze's sudden change in attitude. Whether Qi Lin or Lin Yan, they were truly no more than children in their eyes.
Especially in Ryze's eyes, they could even be called infants still wet behind the ears.
As an Arcane Mage, Ryze understood what sort of attitude he should adopt. Infinite power lay dormant within this boy's body, at the very least surpassing Galaxy Power.
This young man had a boundless future ahead of him.
"Qi Lin, feel free to state whatever conditions you have."
Principal Ryze looked like a kindly elder, yet no one knew what a terrifying ordeal he had just experienced. It had been a clash of deep-level Psychic Power.
"First, the accommodation must have two bedrooms, a living room, a kitchen, and a bathroom. One of the two bedrooms must be spacious enough. The kitchen must be fully equipped. I want to prepare Xiao Yan's three daily meals myself."
"Second, the training schedule must be flexible. If I need to take care of Xiao Yan, I hope I can return in time. Night training should be avoided as much as possible."
"Those are all the conditions."
