After Li Yu returned to the classroom and sat down, Asuna asked impatiently, "How did it go? What did you say?"

She's very curious now. Can she get what Li Yu wants in return? Will Li Yu's Flight Magic be enough to exchange for sufficient benefits?

"No problem, all that's left is to wait." Li Yu replied cheerfully. He was already relieved after learning Principal Hu's identity about whether he could obtain the Space Ring.

Upon hearing Li Yu's words, the three smiled, feeling a pang of envy, since Li Yu had managed to obtain the Space Ring without spending a single penny.

Yukino Yukinoshita turned to look at Li Yu, and after a moment's thought, she said, "I have a question I'd like to ask you. I wonder if you can answer it for me?"

Upon hearing this, Li Yu also looked up at Yukinoshita. The two exchanged a glance, and then Li Yu asked with some confusion, "What's wrong?"

Yukino Yukinoshita tossed her hair aside and slowly spoke, voicing a question that had been on her mind, "Did your talent come from learning something during your battles with us that we didn't usually notice?"

After saying that, as if afraid that Li Yu might not understand, she then explained, "For example, when we unleash our talents, there are some details that we overlook, and you have learned these details, so that when you use our moves, you can incorporate some techniques that we didn't notice."

This was the doubt they had while watching Li Yu fight today. Taking this opportunity, Yukino asked directly. If that were true, then Li Yu's talent would be of great benefit to everyone, as it could help them develop their own talents!

Faced with Yukino Yukinoshita's sudden question, Li Yu's heart skipped a beat. Perhaps he could offer some explanation for why he would later unleash the same talent as them?

With this thought in mind, Li Yu quickly made a decision. He nodded slowly, rapidly organizing in his mind the sounds and movements of Yukino Yukinoshita releasing her talent, and how to achieve the same effect as her talent.

Seeing Li Yu nod, Yukino Yukinoshita's gaze also turned serious. Is that really so? Just as she was thinking this, Li Yu's voice rang out, "Actually, every time you release your talent, you directly and instantly mobilize the True Qi within your body to strike a specific point, right?"

Yukino Yukinoshita's eyes widened as she listened to Li Yu's explanation. This guy is really capable! As Li Yu explained, she also realized that there were many things Li Yu said that she hadn't noticed before.

Now that Li Yu has said this, she suddenly understands many things, which is very surprising. It turns out that she was right to ask Li Yu this question.

"Actually, the best way to Body Domination is to put yourself in a state of absolute calm and absolute rationality," Li Yu concluded with this suggestion.

If one Body Domination and maintain absolute calm and rationality, the combat power they can unleash is quite terrifying.

"I understand, thank you for your help!" Hearing Li Yu's words, Yukino Yukinoshita also understood the reasoning. To control everything within oneself, if one could be absolutely calm and rational, coupled with the ability to control others...

This is absolutely amazing! If I could really do that, I wouldn't be afraid when fighting Li Yu, and even if I got beaten up, I could still calmly deal with it!

"And that's not all. Actually, I've discovered that Hiratsuka Shizuka's talent lies in concentrated bursts of energy. You can perfectly control your body, so you can do that too, right? Perhaps you could ask her for some advice!" Li Yu added as a final suggestion.

These last words made Yukino nod thoughtfully. Should she ask Shizuka Hiratsuka? That was a good idea, since Hiratsuka Shizuka had mentioned this to her before.

She wasn't in a hurry to do research at the time, since she had just awakened and was always thinking about figuring things out on her own. Now it seems she should have studied and learned from Li Yu instead!

After reading what Li Yu told her, it was simply incredible. Now she had a clear understanding of how to use her talent.

"To be honest, based on your understanding of my talent, if I didn't know that talent cannot be learned, I would suspect that you have learned my talent." Yukino Yukinoshita looked at this freak, a complicated look flashing in her eyes.

After all... others understand your talent better than you do, and anyone would feel frustrated if they heard that out loud, right? Yukino Yukinoshita is currently feeling very frustrated.

Li Yu silently gave Yukino a thumbs up in his heart. Yes, you're right, I did learn your talent, but I couldn't say it out loud.

As the two were chatting, Asuna suddenly sat down next to Li Yu, looking at Li Yu with a smile and saying, "It's my turn, Li Yu, tell me what you think!"

Teacher Li Yu is online again. Asking Li Yu about talent is indeed a good idea. Yukinoshita and Asuna's actions have also been seen by the class.

So, during the lunch break, everyone stopped resting and came up to Li Yu to ask him questions. Since Li Yu had nothing else to do, he decided to chat with them about these issues.

The afternoon class ended when the bell rang. Shizuka Hiratsuka was still teaching the afternoon class, but this time she didn't let everyone continue fighting with Li Yu. Instead, she took the students to the training room on the first floor to review what she had taught them before.

After a day of classes, Li Yu and the others went home. Asuna and Li Yu returned to the apartment together. After saying goodbye to Asuna in the elevator, Li Yu went back to his room.

Just as Li Yu was about to use his key to open the door, he suddenly froze, frowned, and pulled the doorknob to open the door.

As soon as Li Yu entered the door, he saw Hestia lying on his sofa. Li Yu was immediately puzzled when he saw this guy, while Hestia heard the door open.

"You're finally back! I've been waiting for you for so long!" Hestia jumped up as soon as she saw Li Yu and greeted Li Yu excitedly.

Li Yu was dumbfounded by this guy who had barged into his house. He asked, somewhat puzzled, "Miss Shen, what brings you to my house? How did you get in?"

This isn't over yet, is it? She's still being pestered? But this guy's appearance here means he's already resolved her identity issue? So everything's alright now?

"Hmph, of course I just walked in." Hestia said smugly. She didn't sneak in; she walked in openly and honestly. As for how she got in, that's none of your business!

"So now you can move around freely? What are you doing here? There's no way I can become one of your family members." Li Yu frowned, sensing that things weren't so simple, especially since she had come all this way specifically to see him. And, incidentally, Li Yu rejected her again.

"We can move around now, damn it! Who lets a God Slayer negotiate with people? It's outrageous!!" Hestia, ignoring Li Yu's refusal, complained indignantly about the matter.

She went with Director Wu to negotiate, but a God Slayer suddenly appeared and stared at her. This was blatant provocation, but she was helpless because she was not good at fighting.

Upon hearing Hestia's words, Li Yu gleaned a crucial piece of information: God Slayer? This was truly astonishing information; they actually had God Slayer on their side?

Moreover... it was the God Slayer negotiated with this God. Thinking of this, Li Yu immediately chuckled. Wasn't this equivalent to finding a natural enemy to negotiate with her?

LOL, no wonder Hestia is so furious right now. But that's not why she came here. Thinking of this, Li Yu continued, "So, why did you come here?"

"Of course there's something to it. Become a member of my Familia!" Hestia brought it up again, her gaze fixed intently on Li Yu.

"I already refused! I told you there's no way I could become a member of your Familia!" Li Yu shrugged, unmoved, because it was just too much trouble.

"Don't rush to refuse! I've already talked to the people over there, and everyone in your class can join my family and explore the Dungeon together!" Hestia said happily.

Upon hearing this, Li Yu was stunned. Was that really the case? Had their entire class been betrayed? Or what was going on? Li Yu was filled with doubt.

"Tell me, what did you talk to them about?" Li Yu also sat down on the sofa, wanting to see what had happened.

"I've made a deal with them. I'll bestow Falna upon your entire class, and in return, you'll become my followers. The Divine Blessing will allow you to grow quickly; it's a win-win situation," Hestia explained the details.

To put it simply, she made an agreement with the higher-ups: they wouldn't stop her activities and would support Hestia in forming her own Familia, but she couldn't cause trouble and would have to help with certain tasks when necessary.

Li Yu didn't know the specifics, and Hestia didn't say either. Anyway, an agreement was reached, so Hestia came to Li Yu.

"Emm... is it because this place supports you in creating Familia that you found me? And the whole class wants to join your Familia?" Li Yu had finally figured out the current situation.

Hestia nodded hastily, "Yes, that's exactly it." Then she added, "I'll be going to your school tomorrow; I assume your principal already knows about this."

There's a lot of information in these words. The higher-ups supported Hestia in creating Familia, and then Hestia chose Li Yu's side? And the higher-ups even agreed to it.

"Did you choose us? Or did you get told to choose us from above?" Li Yu wanted to clarify this question. If this guy chose us himself, then there would be no problem.

If she had been given the choice, Li Yu would probably have already caught the eye of those big shots, and a bunch of people would probably be watching her closely.

"Of course it was my choice, and they considered it and agreed. The only requirement was... everyone in your class had to come." Hestia didn't hide anything; she wanted Li Yu and Asuna.

Then, after discussing it, they decided to pack up the whole class together. After thinking about it, she simply agreed, since Li Yu's classmates were all quite good.

Since it was free, why not take it? She chose to pack it up. After the other party explained, Li Yu finally understood why.

"So, you'll be the leader of my Familia. When we go to Orario, you'll be in charge!" Hestia looked at Li Yu expectantly. She'd explained it like that; surely Li Yu would agree?

"Wait... you said to go to Orario?" Li Yu seemed to have heard something incredible. What the hell was this? They wanted Li Yu others to go to Orario?

"Yes, yes, let's go to Orario! If you agree, your whole class will come with us to Orario!" Hestia nodded eagerly; she wasn't wrong!

"When are we going?" Li Yu seemed to have heard something incredible, and he hurriedly asked. Going to Orario? That means there's already a passage leading there?

"I don't know, they said we have to wait for their arrangements." Hestia shook her head. She didn't know when she would go either. Anyway, that's what they said. If Familia was established, Hestia would lead these people to Orario.

Upon hearing this, Li Yu understood. Perhaps Li Yu and the others would become the first group of Familia to go to that world? Because those above already knew about the affairs of that world.

Now a God suddenly appears and wants to create a new Familia? That's fantastic! No problem, definitely no problem. I'll give you a group of people and make you an instant powerful Familia in that world.

Li Yu roughly guessed the idea above. Since the other side was organized by various Familia, he might as well train one himself, and this group of people could also gain experience.

"If that's the case, I agree!" Now that he understood the situation, what reason did Li Yu have to refuse? He wouldn't agree unless this guy was a nuisance.

However, the higher-ups have now decided to send Hestia back, and incidentally, help her establish a Familia.

That would be fantastic! Li Yu wanted all sorts of skills from that other world.

Especially since Hestia is friends with that Hephaestus, she could ask him for help if she wanted to forge any weapons, right? She could even learn a thing or two from him.

"You agreed? That's great! Come on, take off your clothes!" Hestia's voice suddenly turned shrill. Li Yu had finally agreed! This was incredibly exciting!!

"Knock knock knock!" Just as she was telling Li Yu to take off her clothes, there was a rapid knocking on Li Yu's door. Hearing the sound, Li Yu tilted her head to sense it and, upon finding it was Asuna, said, "The door isn't locked, come in."

As Li Yu's voice faded, Asuna pushed open the door and walked in. When she saw Hestia and remembered what she had just said, a strange look flashed in Asuna's eyes.

"Did I disturb you?" Asuna asked as she walked in, though her face showed no sign that she had bothered anyone.

"No, you've come at the right time. There are some things I need to tell you, things that concern our upcoming training." Li Yu gestured for Asuna to sit down, and then repeated what Hestia had just told him.

Hearing this, Asuna looked at Hestia in surprise. The higher-ups had actually made such a decision? And they even planned to send their entire class to another world.

"That's right, you've come at the perfect time. Take off your clothes too, and I'll grant you your Falna!" Hestia's eyes lit up when she saw Asuna. Perhaps she was too excited, because she didn't care that Li Yu was present and directly asked Asuna to do so.

When Li Yu heard this, he immediately gave her a thumbs up. This was the time when he supported Hestia the most. Well done, Hestia! However, Asuna rolled her Byakugan at him.
