Before Setting Out, Make Sure You're Prepared

Zhang Li's explanation made it clear to everyone that there was no issue of life and death in the other world, but things like missing limbs were another matter.

Safety is still a priority. After explaining these matters, Zhang Li gave the students some time to consider, saying, "You can think about it carefully, or you can contact your parents. Those who are willing to participate can come next door and ask Miss Hestia for Falna."

After she finished speaking, she took Hestia and left the classroom to wait in the empty classroom next door. After they left, Yukino Yukinoshita got up and followed them.

Seeing this, Kato Megumi didn't hesitate much and left the classroom with Yukino Yukinoshita. The others were a little confused when they saw someone follow so quickly.

Then everyone's attention fell on Li Yu and Asuna. Seeing that the two hadn't made a move yet, a nearby classmate couldn't help but ask, "Li Yu, aren't you going?"

If Li Yu doesn't go, then the rest of the class will have to think twice, especially since the homeroom teacher just said that Li Yu will lead the class from now on.

Seeing that many people were looking at him, Li Yu shrugged and said, "I've already received Falna. That guy came to my place last night, and Asuna and I have received Falna."

"That's right, so everyone don't need to worry about us. You should think about your own things. We're both going." Asuna said with a smile.

The two had already shown Falna, so there was no need for them to go. Their explanation immediately put the students at ease. Perhaps they already knew from the beginning. Since Li Yu was going, they would all go with her.

Once the decision was made, everyone got up and headed to the next room. Some people, still unable to make a decision, immediately contacted their parents.

Their parents were even more excited than they were about going to another world. They agreed without hesitation and let them all participate.

With the parents speaking up, these people all went to the classroom next door to line up, and the classroom was suddenly empty, leaving only Li Yu and Asuna there.

"What are your plans for the future? She made you her leader." Asuna chatted with Li Yu, explaining that Hestia had already appointed Li Yu as the leader of Hestia's Familia.

"What arrangements could there be? The ones making the arrangements aren't us, but those people who are being sent over there. All I have to do is lead everyone to improve their strength in that world." Li Yu was quite clear about his role.

He didn't need to do anything else, nor was it his place to do it. All Li Yu had to do was lead everyone through the Dungeon, which was a simple matter.

Asuna nodded thoughtfully upon hearing this, as if it were indeed true. There were many things that Li Yu didn't need to worry about too much; someone would naturally take care of them in due time.

While the two were talking, Kato Megumi and Yukino Yukinoshita returned. They walked into the classroom from outside and went back to their seats.

"All done?" Asuna couldn't help but ask when she saw Kato Megumi sit down. Hearing Asuna's question, Kato Megumi nodded.

She said somewhat subtly, "It seems like they just drip Divine Blood on our backs. I thought it would be some kind of grand ceremony..."

It was completely different from what she had imagined. It was just a drop of Divine Blood that made her talents and skills materialize, and her body didn't even change at all.

"That's right, she just infused us with Divine Blood, so it's like we got a drop of Divine Blood for free!" Li Yu couldn't help but mutter to himself when he talked about this.

He really did want to capture Hestia and bleed her alive, then buy her some blood-replenishing medicine. That way, he figured he could become a supplier of Divine Blood, right?

"That makes perfect sense. We got a drop of Divine Blood for free." Yukino Yukinoshita agreed with Li Yu's statement; it was a huge gift from heaven.

The Divine Blood has already merged with them, but it's unknown exactly when it will take effect. In short, it's all good and no bad.

While everyone was chatting, the students who had received the Falna returned one after another. Although no one had changed, everyone was still very excited. Some of them even finally learned the name of their talent.

Hestia didn't spend much time bestowing Falna upon more than 40 people. She simply had them expose their backs, and Hestia activated them with her Divine Blood, and that was it.

Later on, she even stopped bothering to read the attribute panel, because most people were the same, just with different talents. However, the fact that everyone was at the third tier excited Hestia.

After finishing everything, Hestia followed Zhang Li back to the classroom and said directly, "Everyone, you can study on your own now. Li Yu, come with me, I need to discuss something with you."

After saying that, Zhang Li walked out. Li Yu got up and followed her out of the classroom. Hestia followed as well, because the matter to be discussed next was also related to her.

Once outside the classroom, Zhang Li said, "Come on, let's go to the Principal's Office. The principal is waiting for you."

After saying that, she led Li Yu and Hestia directly towards the principal's office. On the way, Zhang Li said to Li Yu, "The principal wants to talk to you about something; it's about going to another world."

Hearing Zhang Li's words, Li Yu nodded, but he also had a question, "Has a decision been made on when we'll depart?"

Zhang Li didn't mention a departure time; she only told everyone to accept the Falna. What exactly were the arrangements?

"We'll have to wait for those two teachers to arrive before we can make a decision about this," Zhang Li said with a smile, adding Li Yu the departure time was still undecided.

"Are these teachers transferred from other places? Speaking of which, our arrival time isn't even confirmed yet, is it? Will we have to come back for our evaluations and such?" Li Yu actually had quite a few questions, especially regarding the two new teachers.

"Yes, one teacher teaches how to use various weapons, and another teaches True Magic. As for your assessment, we'll explain that later." Zhang Li didn't explain much; assessments were practically nonexistent in this class.

After all, the assessment is nothing more than a test of strength, and Li Yu and the others are definitely strong enough. These kids are already at the third rank, and by the time they return from the other world, they will be strong enough.

In fact, unless the children are snatched and sent back, these people will be directly admitted to university. If the students in the Special Class are good enough, they will automatically be promoted without any assessment.

After all, everyone in this class is exceptionally talented. The assessment is to test your abilities and then look at your talents, and everyone in this class possesses both.

Besides, those two teachers were transferred from the university, so someone will naturally explain these things to them, and they don't need to say anything.

Zhang Li led Li Yu to the Principal's Office and knocked on the door. After hearing a sound from inside, she led Li Yu and Hestia inside.

"You've arrived! Have a seat!" Principal Hu greeted Li Yu warmly, gesturing for him to sit down.

At that moment, Principal Hu was sitting at the coffee table in his office. When he saw the three of them arrive, he picked up three teacups and poured them a cup of tea. After the three sat down, he served each of them a cup of tea.

Li Yu thanked him and picked up his teacup to drink. At this moment, Principal Hu spoke up, "I'm here mainly to tell you some things."

Principal Hu looked at Li Yu, his gaze becoming serious. Hearing his words, Li Yu put down his teacup, sat up straight, and said, "Principal, please speak."

He understood perfectly well that something important was about to happen, which was probably what Li Yu was going to do in the other world. Presumably, everything had already been discussed and agreed upon.

"Next, when you go to that other world, try to build up your Familia as soon as possible, make a name for yourself, and secure a place in that city where the Gods gather," Principal Hu said slowly.

They explained what Li Yu and his group were going to do. The core task was actually just one thing: to build up the reputation of the Hestia Familia and establish a certain position for them.

"Actually, this is quite simple. You just need to go over there and focus on your training." Principal Hu seemed worried about putting too much pressure on Li Yu, so he added at the end.

Once their strength develops, their reputation will naturally spread. As for other matters, someone will handle them then.

"I understand, but in that case, it's not a big problem." Li Yu nodded. This was the same as what he thought; it wasn't a big deal. It was just about increasing their strength, which was what they were supposed to be doing anyway.

"Besides that, I hope you can use your talents to learn more in that world!"

"Principal Hu looked at Li Yu with a solemn expression at the end."

This is the most important point. Li Yu's talent came in very handy at this time. He went to another world to learn more knowledge and skills. The resources of an entire world are extremely important.

Hearing Principal Hu say that, Li Yu nodded. There was no problem with that, since Li Yu already had this idea. In other words, if he went to the other world, these things would just be incidental.

Seeing Li Yu nod, Principal Hu smiled and said, "In return, I've applied for a batch of resources for you, which will be sent over along with your Space Ring."

Asking Li Yu to do these things isn't for nothing; there are benefits to it. Otherwise, who would be willing to do something for free? Even if Li Yu doesn't say anything, he'll probably still have some resentment in his heart.

They naturally wouldn't try to take advantage of Li Yu in these matters. Principal Hu told Li Yu all about these things, and there was quite a lot of information.

Upon hearing this, Li Yu's eyes lit up. He asked in surprise, "The Space Ring application has been approved? That's wonderful!"

This is such a pleasant surprise! And there are other supplies too? That's fantastic! If all goes well, they'll probably provide all the supplies needed to build Familia in the other world as well.

Li Yu chatted with him in the Principal's Office for a while before leaving. Knowing his task, he didn't need to worry about the rest. Walking out of the principal's office, Li Yu walked towards the classroom with a happy feeling.

"Wait for me!" Just then, Hestia caught up. Li Yu turned to look at Hestia, somewhat speechless, and said, "What are you doing following me? I'm going back to class, are you going to come with me?"

"Hmph, everyone in your class is now a member of my Familia, so what's wrong with me following them!" Hestia said matter-of-factly. Besides, she had nowhere else to go; where else could she go but with Li Yu?

Li Yu ignored her and headed straight for his classroom, with Hestia following behind like a little tail.

The two returned to the classroom. After Li Yu sat down in his seat, Hestia followed Li Yu and sat down next to him, then began to look around.

Looking at her classmates in the classroom, Hestia's face was full of smiles. These were all her people. Just thinking about bringing them back to Orario made her smile impossible to hide.

The students in the class were all looking at Hestia with curious eyes. Her silly appearance completely ruined everyone's impression of those God.

Hestia currently gives the impression of being rather dim-witted and easily fooled, provided you're not afraid of being killed by her. Although she seems foolish, the power she possesses is indeed at the level of God.

Over the next few days, everyone attended classes as usual. Hestia also went to and from class with Li Yu and the others every day, and gradually became familiar with her classmates.

Moreover, the girls in the class all liked to feed Hestia, which made Hestia in the class incredibly comfortable during this period.

She even had second thoughts about going back to Orario. After all, there wouldn't be as many delicious snacks back then. Here, she had free food to eat every day—how wonderful!

Unfortunately, this idea of hers remained just that—an idea. That day, when it was time for school, Zhang Li sent Li Yu to the Principal's Office again, but this time no one accompanied her.

Hestia wasn't as clingy as she had been in the first few days; instead, she stayed obediently in the classroom, so Li Yu came alone this time.

Upon returning, Principal Hu handed Li Yu a Space Ring, saying, "This Space Ring is your reward. Inside are some medicines and various undisclosed True Magic and Martial Arts."

Hearing this, Li Yu was stunned. So many things were given to him directly? Under Principal Hu's guidance, Li Yu quickly recognized the Space Ring as his own, and then Li Yu saw the many things inside.

Various kinds of medicines, as well as gold measured in kilograms and some books, were all given to Li Yu as rewards; their value goes without saying.

Especially those medicines, most of them are of intermediate or advanced level, but Li Yu still needs to see their specific effects himself. It can be said that this time he was really given a super gift package.

"Thank you, Principal Hu!" Looking at these items, Li Yu nodded in satisfaction, especially the gold, Li Yu immediately realized was the starting capital for everyone in this other world.

"Go and get ready. You're probably leaving on Monday, so you'll have the weekend to prepare some things." Principal Hu looked at Li Yu with a gentle expression, confident that Li Yu would bring them a pleasant surprise this time.

Even if there are no surprises, it doesn't matter. In fact, given Li Yu's talent, he will definitely shine in that world, and the name of the Hestia Familia will surely be established.

If Hestia can rise up, they will have a foothold there, and they can get some help from others who go there in the future.

Li Yu nodded, said goodbye to Principal Hu Li Yu, and returned to the classroom. When Teacher Zhang Li saw Li Yu return, she mentioned the departure time to the students and told them that they would be leaving next Monday.

The weekend is a good time for everyone to make some preparations, such as buying some protective gear. None of you students have these items, so it's best to prepare a set before you go.

Zhang Li spent the entire class period giving everyone various instructions and reminders, aiming to help them better prepare for their experience in that world. The students diligently wrote down everything she said.
