Chiyu Academy, Class 3-1.
"MEI... are you really not walking home together after school tonight? I'm genuinely sorry about what happened last time."
In the classroom, the white-haired boy nudged the purple-haired girl in front of him and said, "Didn't you say you'd give me another chance... Just this once, I'll show you my sincerity!"
MEI, sitting in front of the white-haired boy, felt someone pushing her back. Her body trembled slightly, and then, without looking back, she made a shushing gesture behind her, indicating that they should talk after class since they were still in class.
Seeing MEI's reaction, Kevin sighed helplessly. But since things had come to this, he could only wait until after class to press MEI for her opinion.
The person teaching the class at this moment was a balding middle-aged man who taught math. He could be considered a very dedicated teacher, looking at his PPT and ignoring students' questions, clearly eager to finish work.
However, Kevin actually preferred teachers like this. Teachers who were in a hurry to leave usually wouldn't extend class time or pay much attention to students. As long as you didn't seriously disrupt class discipline, they wouldn't even care if you slept in class. High school teachers acting like university professors.
He turned to look at Su, his deskmate, and found that Su was also lost in thought, listening to the math teacher's "wub wub wub." Kevin felt relieved, knowing he wasn't the only one not understanding the lesson.
And with a companion, Kevin had a legitimate reason to sleep in class. It was just that his seat was a bit awkward, in the third row, right behind MEI. If there were any patrols outside the classroom, he could easily be discovered.
So, he needed someone to keep watch.
With that thought, Kevin tore off a piece of paper from his notebook, crumpled it into a ball, and threw it at Su, his deskmate, making a "keep watch" gesture that only the two brothers understood.
Su, hit by the paper ball, looked at Kevin and shook his head helplessly without saying a word.
Kevin knew that Su had agreed to keep watch for him.
Nice! I can slack off for another class!
Thinking this, Kevin propped his head up with one hand on his desk. From the outside, he looked like he was lost in thought, but internally, he had already fallen asleep.
Time had also flown by, reaching the evening.
"Kevin? Kevin! At your age... how can you sleep? In your age group... you can sleep? Huh? How can you sleep?"
"Huh... huh?"
Hearing the strange voice, Kevin groggily woke up from his sleep. The first thing he saw when he opened his eyes was his good buddy Su, followed by MEI, who was packing up her things at the front desk, ready to leave.
"Hey! MEI, wait for me!"
Kevin immediately stopped caring about anything else. He quickly tidied his appearance and then, pulling his good buddy Su along, he approached them and said, "MEI, where are you going? Didn't we agree you'd give me a chance to make it up to you this Friday?"
"Classmate Kevin."
MEI stopped in her tracks, then turned to look at Kevin. She adjusted her round-rimmed glasses and said, "I agreed to give you a chance to make it up to me, but I never said that day would be today. I have more important things to do today. Classmate Kevin, go back to the sports field and play basketball. We'll talk about your matter later."
"Huh, what's so urgent?"
Kevin, his mind not catching up, was a bit confused.
"Sigh."
Su, whom he had dragged along, sighed helplessly. He then tugged at Kevin's sleeve and said, "This... I'm afraid only you don't know about it, Kevin. A renowned biology professor is arriving at our school tonight to give a lecture, and MEI has already signed up. After signing up, MEI actually wanted to tell you about it, but you were at your club playing basketball then and missed the timing."
"Ah... ah?"
Kevin did a tactical backward lean, then looked at the expressionless MEI, and then at his helpless good brother. He quickly grabbed Su's arm and said, "Brother! My good brother! Tell me, is it still possible to sign up? I want to go listen to the lecture with MEI!"
"You... sigh... forget it."
Su sighed helplessly. He looked around and, confirming that the teacher had already left the classroom, took out a mobile phone from his pocket and handed it to Kevin.
"Here, you can fill out the form somewhere with no one around later. I've already set up the app for you; just enter your name below."
"Whoa!... You brought your phone too, Su!"
"...Please don't use 'too,' thank you."
"Oh, okay."
Seeing the two brothers, one daring and the other obliging, MEI tilted her head slightly and gave a helpless smile. The next moment, she realized her emotions and quickly turned around, walking away slowly.
That evening, in the circular lecture hall at Chiyu Academy, where Mobius was giving her lecture.
Kevin sat shamelessly next to MEI. The professor who was supposed to give the lecture hadn't arrived yet, so Kevin casually struck up a conversation with MEI.
"Hey! MEI, the professor isn't here yet, so stop studying so hard. How about we chat about something else?"
MEI, who was flipping through her notebook, glanced at Kevin and said casually, "What do you want to chat about? If it's your usual meaningless sweet talk, I'll have to reconsider the reasonableness of allowing you to be my deskmate, Classmate Kevin."
"Uh..."
His hidden intentions seen through, Kevin awkwardly scratched his head. But he was Kevin, the 'Prince of Chiyu Academy, Noble Hunk, King of Sweet Talk,' how could he be stumped by such a small difficulty?
Kevin clapped his hands together, his emotions quickly settling, and said with a smile, "MEI, have you seen the news posted on the campus wall? I heard about it too. There's a major headline on it... 'The most magnificent performance from beyond the twilight is about to begin!' It means a great magician from 'Twilight Street' is coming to Changkong City to perform magic. Will you have time then? Want to go with me?"
"I'll see."
MEI didn't refuse directly, but she didn't agree directly either. Her attitude towards Kevin remained indifferent... at least, that's how it appeared.
"If I don't have anything else to do at the time, I might consider it. But if I'm in class, please allow me to decline. After all, I'm not interested in 'magic' in the first place, classmate Kevin."
"Hey! So you mean you'll go if you have time?"
Kevin's comprehension skills were always absurd. He scratched his head, clapped his hands, and said excitedly, "Alright, MEI, I'll remember your words. Just you wait and see, when that great magician comes to Changkong City to perform, I'll definitely make sure you have no classes... no, I'll definitely make sure you have free time then!"
"You... haha."
Hearing Kevin's slip of the tongue, MEI felt both annoyed and amused. Just as she was about to say something, her expression suddenly changed, and she immediately corrected herself, "Alright, classmate Kevin, more students are coming. You should also quiet down and get ready. That professor should be here soon too."
Kevin was momentarily stunned. He misheard MEI's words as "That biology professor has already arrived," and immediately perked up. He quickly turned his gaze towards the lecture platform in the amphitheater, eager to see which biology professor could make MEI so attentive.
He had initially assumed that the professor who could persuade the Chiyu Academy officials to suddenly give a lecture to the students would be a highly respected elder, someone at least fifty years old, if not seventy or eighty.
Until... two stunning beauties, one with brilliant gold hair and the other with emerald green hair, walked into the classroom...
Xu Ziling and Mobius walked into the classroom.
After scanning the room, Mobius's gaze locked onto the girl sitting alone in the corner of the classroom, who had the same emerald green hair as herself.
She assumed this must be the person Blanca had recommended to her, "Klein."
Looking at Klein's current expression, she still seemed a bit bewildered. It was clear she had been tricked into attending the lecture hall that Mobius had set up for the evening. However, Mobius wanted exactly this effect; overly intelligent people weren't suitable as assistants.
As for this first meeting... well, Mobius was quite satisfied with this Klein.
She was quiet and seemed to have a rather timid personality, making her suitable for Mobius's assertive approach. Furthermore, although Klein's eyes were bewildered, her hands hadn't stopped moving. Before "that professor" arrived at the lecture hall, Klein had been continuously reviewing her biology notes, indicating that she wasn't foolish, at least.
Moreover, her gaze wasn't wandering, and she wasn't sitting with others. While her personality was reclusive, she knew what she should and shouldn't look at. She had a clear goal in mind for her actions.
It was truly a credit to Blanca that she could find someone like this. This little one named 'Klein' seemed to be an excellent choice for an assistant.
Xu Ziling, on the other hand, focused more of his attention on the trio of purple, white, and gray figures in the classroom, his eyes gradually widening in surprise.
He hadn't expected that in such a small amphitheater, there would be the future leader of the Fire Moth, the strongest warrior of the Fire Moth, the great immortal Su; and then, on his side, Mobius, the creator of the future Fire Moth's fused warriors, and her capable assistant, Klein...
This small classroom was truly full of hidden talents!
At this moment, Xu Ziling noticed Kevin in the classroom whisper a few words to MEI beside him, then quickly give a signal to Su behind him. Kevin then stood up and extended his right hand.
Xu Ziling's expression immediately changed.
Based on his many years of experience as a corporate slave, Kevin's posture and actions clearly indicated he was about to say...
"Hey! Two beautiful ladies, that professor should be here soon. Don't just stand there foolishly. Would you like to sit with us?"
Kevin said, smiling as he gestured to the empty seats in front of him and MEI.
"We have our school's top student here! If you have any questions during the lecture later, it'll be convenient for everyone to discuss afterwards, right? MEI and I never refuse questions from others! Especially... since you're two pretty young ladies."
Pretty young ladies?
Xu Ziling blinked, then looked behind him.
But behind him, apart from the front door of the amphitheater, there was no one else.
That's not right. Kevin wasn't looking at Serpent, and there was no one behind him either? Where did these young ladies come from?
Wait, could it be that he was looking at...
"Hi! Stop standing around foolishly."
After a moment of intense thought, our Chiyu Academy's warm-hearted Prince Kevin, after getting MEI's consent, walked over and patted Xu Ziling on the shoulder, saying with a smile, "Beautiful lady, come sit with us. If you have any questions during the professor's lecture later, feel free to ask me! Although... uh, I might not understand it very well myself, I have someone very knowledgeable beside me! Enough to satisfy your doubts!"
Xu Ziling: ...
Hearing Kevin call him "beautiful lady" repeatedly and patting his shoulder, Xu Ziling's forehead developed a large "well" character mark.
No way! Hey! MEI over there, aren't you going to do anything about your Kevin acting so flirty?
However, when Xu Ziling looked towards MEI, he found that MEI's attention was completely off Kevin. Instead, it was on him... or more accurately, on Mobius beside him.
MEI stared at Mobius, sometimes frowning deeply, sometimes relaxing her fingers, as if thinking about something, or perhaps denying her own thoughts.
Mobius also noticed the situation at Xu Ziling's side at this moment. Hearing Kevin's words, she smiled slightly and said:
"Don't suppress yourself, Little Mouse. Do what you want to do. As long as I'm here, no one can touch you."
Little Mouse?
Kevin blinked, then looked at Mobius.
What kind of strange nickname was this green-haired young lady using? And who was she calling Little Mouse?
Kevin didn't have time to ponder the question.
Because a slender hand had already broken through the air and grabbed his wrist with a "snap!" Immediately, a tremendous force pulled him, and in his shock, Kevin felt his vision rapidly rising... No! His entire body was being flung away!
"Holy crap!"
After letting out a genuine Shenzhou curse, Kevin suppressed his shock and quickly performed a 360-degree backflip in mid-air. Using the centrifugal force, he stabilized the turbulent airflow around him and landed steadily on the ground.
"Phew..."
Kevin wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and looked at the owner of the slender hand. He said, "Hey... Miss, are you a martial artist? Can we not just start fighting the moment we meet?"
However, Kevin's words only made things worse. Upon hearing how he addressed her, Xu Ziling's expression darkened instantly. He stomped his feet, and his body, cutting through the air, was about to charge forward again to throw a punch at Kevin.
"Wait! Little Mouse."
However, Mobius stopped Xu Ziling. Her gaze was fixed on Kevin as she said, "He was able to withstand your punch and still act like nothing happened... That's quite something, isn't it? It means he's got significant research value. Little Mouse, don't go. I'll deal with him."
"Okay."
Xu Ziling stopped in his tracks, running a hand through his brilliant gold hair. He had only intended to teach Kevin a lesson for his "outrageous remark" and didn't plan on doing anything drastic. Hearing Mobius say this, Xu Ziling nodded and replied, "As you command, Doctor."
"What... what is this?"
Kevin looked at Mobius, who was walking towards him, in bewilderment. He leaned back defensively and said, "Miss, are you also here to spar? No, please don't. I never hit girls, and it wouldn't look good if my teacher saw this later."
"Heh heh..."
Mobius chuckled, a laugh that sent shivers down one's spine.
Then, she extended her hand towards Kevin and said in an extremely dangerous tone, "Student... what's your name?"
"Huh? Is she asking for my contact information?"
Although our Great Prince Kevin was a bit confused, his body instinctively reacted. He immediately adjusted his posture, stood straight, and looked at Mobius with a smile, saying, "Hey! Classmate, are you new here? I'm the number one prince of our school. You can call me Kevin."
"Kevin... alright."
Mobius smiled, but the next second, her expression turned cold again. She pointed a finger towards the front door of the classroom and said, "Then, student Kevin, I am now citing you for disrupting class discipline and asking you to... get out of my classroom."
