Na'er's Sleepiness, Second Profession

Inner Court

Youth Genius Class

This was the most unique class in the Inner Court.

The students who studied in this class usually had not met the Inner Court's cultivation requirements, but were admitted early as exceptions because they possessed exceptionally outstanding talent in a particular area.

Without question, every student in this class was among the most gifted of their generation.

"Today, two new students have joined our class. Come, introduce yourselves."

On the podium, Chu Ning, the homeroom teacher of this year's Youth Genius Class, waved toward the door.

Two figures walked in from outside.

A boy and a girl, both around six years old. Their strikingly attractive appearances immediately drew the attention of everyone in the Youth Genius Class.

They were none other than Ling Luo and Na'er.

According to Shrek Academy's original rules for the Inner Court, students entering the Youth Genius Class had to undergo a series of examinations and evaluations before their qualifications could be confirmed.

But Yun Ming was the rule at Shrek Academy.

With a single word from the Sea God Pavilion Master, Ling Luo and Na'er were dropped directly into this special Inner Court class.

None of Shrek Academy's upper management would raise any objection to it.

The reason the two had come here was to learn some necessary theoretical knowledge.

As for the specifics of their cultivation, Yun Ming and Ya Li, these two top-tier powerhouses, would naturally guide them personally.

"Ling Luo."

"Na'er."

Both of their introductions were extremely brief.

Everyone was taken aback by such overly short introductions.

"Sister Xing Lan, their introductions were exactly the same as yours back then."

The chubby boy below spoke softly to the girl seated in the front-right.

Ye Xinglan did not answer.

Her childish face remained expressionless, carrying a coldness that did not belong to someone her age. It was as though she did not care about such matters at all.

Xu Lizhi seemed to have expected the girl's reaction and did not say anything further.

"Since the introductions are over, you two can find empty seats and sit down."

Chu Ning spoke up, breaking the slightly awkward atmosphere caused by their overly brief introductions.

Ling Luo nodded slightly and casually found an empty seat near the back.

Na'er sat beside him.

She now loved staying by Ling Luo's side.

It was not merely because of her and Gu Yue's plan. A large part of it was because Ling Luo's scent made Na'er feel extremely comfortable.

Perhaps it was the subtle influence of the Seed of the God King of Life, but Ling Luo's scent made all living beings instinctively feel close to him.

It was especially alluring to Na'er, whose condition was poor due to the division of her soul.

Ling Luo and Na'er's arrival did not disrupt the lesson.

Chu Ning quickly moved on to today's topic.

She gave a detailed explanation of all kinds of knowledge concerning modern Battle Armor.

The material was not interesting and could even be called rather dull.

Yet all the students displayed incomparable enthusiasm.

After all, for these genius Soul Masters, Battle Armor was what most of them pursued.

There was only one exception.

Na'er drooped her little head sleepily, occasionally tilting toward Ling Luo before pulling herself back up.

She had slept very well the day before.

After consuming food with immense nutritional value, she had undergone the most satisfying cultivation session since entering the human world.

Logically speaking, Na'er should not have been sleepy at this time.

But for some reason, Chu Ning's voice while teaching seemed to possess some kind of magic, forcibly drawing out the drowsiness buried within Na'er's heart.

She felt that she should not have been the one listening to this.

As the foremost piece of equipment among human Soul Masters, Battle Armor was indeed immensely useful for the Soul Beast Clan's understanding of humans.

But this was not within her scope of responsibility!

It had all been planned from the start.

She would be responsible for getting close to Ling Luo and trying to bring him into the fold, while Gu Yue would be responsible for understanding humanity and conquering the human world.

Since that was the case, she naturally had no reason to force herself to keep listening with her sleepy head.

With that thought, Na'er felt the burden in her heart vanish at once.

Her little head stopped its uncertain struggle of bobbing up and down and settled onto Ling Luo's shoulder, having already drifted blissfully into dreamland.

Feeling the sudden weight on his shoulder, Ling Luo glanced sideways slightly but made no move, allowing Na'er to lean against him and sleep.

With cultivation at the level of a Titled Douluo, Chu Ning naturally noticed that Na'er had already fallen soundly asleep.

After some internal conflict, she still chose to ignore it.

The Pavilion Master's disciple was beyond her control. Better not meddle.

She withdrew her gaze. Out of sight, out of mind.

Chu Ning continued explaining the relevant knowledge.

After introducing the basic knowledge regarding Soul Combat, Chu Ning moved on to the true topic of today's lesson:

"Battle armor is the goal of most of you, and a Second Profession is indispensable if you wish to become a top-tier Battle Armor Master."

"Generally speaking, the Soul Master World stipulates that only Soul Ancestors and above may use battle armor. But as the academy's geniuses, you must make plans in advance."

"Second Professions are divided into Forging Masters, Mecha Designers, Mecha Repair Masters, and Mecha Manufacturers."

"You may begin learning about the various Second Professions during this period. The Inner Court also has dedicated teachers to assist you. These teachers are all outstanding figures in their respective fields, so this is an excellent opportunity."

"Decide which Second Profession you wish to choose within this week."

"Class dismissed."

Class dismissed?!

As if some keyword had been triggered, Na'er, who had just been sleeping against Ling Luo's shoulder, jolted awake and opened her beautiful eyes.

Once she noticed her current state, Na'er's little face reddened.

She had been leaning against Ling Luo's shoulder and sleeping through the entire lesson?

Realizing this, Na'er felt so embarrassed that she covered her face with one hand.

It was all those boring theory classes' fault. If not for them, she would never have fallen asleep!

Na'er thought indignantly to herself.

"Don't worry. You didn't drool."

While Na'er was still feeling shy over what she had done, Ling Luo's words made her instantly flare up.

Drool?

Of course she had not drooled!

What did he take her for, a child?

Na'er glared at Ling Luo in indignation.

Ling Luo remained expressionless, making Na'er even more furious.

As though he had not noticed Na'er's gaze at all, Ling Luo stood up.

"Let's go. Brother-in-law said this morning that we should go to Sea God Pavilion after class."

"Still not awake? Want me to carry you there?"

"Ling Luo!"

Na'er angrily hurried after Ling Luo.

The playful scene between the two fell into the eyes of the other students who had yet to leave the classroom, and a trace of envy flashed through their eyes.

Childhood sweethearts really were nice...
