It really was his problem

While Li Yu and the others were busy, Ais was adjusting her state, wiping her rapier in her hand.

Meanwhile, her three companions were lecturing Bete. Tione, looking at him with obvious displeasure, said, "Do you know you almost caused trouble? I told you not to come along!!"

"Exactly! What if they start fighting? You'll get covered in True Magic by them!" Tione glared at the guy, clearly annoyed.

She even thought that the handsome young man named Li Yu was right; sometimes his mouth should be sewn shut, because it was too easy for him to offend people.

Lefiya sighed, unsure what to say. The situation had indeed been dangerous; if this guy had said just one more word, she had no doubt those people would have attacked him.

Bete knew he had almost caused trouble, so although he was very unhappy about being lectured, he didn't say anything. He hadn't expected the other person to act this way.

Damn it, he used so much True Magic on them without warning! He was startled by what happened just now, but that guy's attitude towards Ais really annoyed him!

Bete, having thought this through, wanted to see if he was really as powerful as Ais had said!

"I noticed just now that the True Magic they were using seemed to be the same. Everyone's Magic Array were exactly the same. It's really strange," Lefiya finally spoke up.

She recalled the Magic Array released by that group of people during the confrontation; they were all exactly the same. This made her quite curious. Did that mean their True Magic could be mass-produced and learned?

True Magic from another world? Lefiya thought about what Lord Loki had said—that those people came from another world—which made her even more curious.

"This is outrageous, Ais, are you sure you want to fight that guy?" Tione asked, looking at Ais who was wiping her weapon.

"Hmm... He's very strong, I want to fight him!" Ais's eyes were filled with fighting spirit. Although she didn't know the details of the other party's background, she could sense that the other party was very strong, extremely strong.

She was an opponent worthy of her full strength, Ais didn't want to let such an opportunity slip by. No matter what, she had to fight Li Yu and see if she could break through to Iv6 with this opportunity.

Seeing Ais's determination, Tione, knowing her personality, sighed and said, "Then be careful, don't be reckless. This is really troublesome; I just came out for a walk to clear my head, and I've run into something like this!!"

After saying that, she glared fiercely at Bete, then continued, "I'll tell Finn about this, and you can explain it to him yourself!"

The Finn she mentioned is the leader of the Loki Familia, a figure known as the Hero. Bete almost caused trouble, and it seems he's even made an enemy of the Hestia Familia. Let him explain himself!

Bete shouted, but didn't offer any opinion. He knew he had gotten himself into trouble because of his words, and he felt somewhat uneasy.

Regardless of what's happening here, Li Yu and his group have already prepared dinner. They made a curry stew in one pot, adding all sorts of ingredients and meats after they were prepared.

After the rice was cooked, curry was added. The rice was also prepared. Each person had a bowl of rice and two spoonfuls of curry. Everyone quickly took their food, sat down on the floor, and started eating.

The food tasted quite good, especially since everyone was already very hungry. They had a great appetite after the meal, and everyone felt much of their fatigue had dissipated.

After everyone finished eating and digested their food, they started cleaning up. Once all the trash was taken care of, they gathered around Li Yu and handed over all the Magic Stone and materials they had obtained to Li Yu.

"Squad leader, you keep these Magic Stone safe. You can deal with them later. We'll depend on you to support us in this world!" Xia Yu took the lead and poured out all the Magic Stone from her squad.

Seeing this, Li Yu frowned and said, "You should handle these things yourselves. What are you giving them to me for?"

What's going on here? Li Yu never intended for everyone to hand over their Magic Stone, yet these guys are all planning to do just that? Asuna and the other two also turned their gazes over.

They were all somewhat surprised by Xia Yu's actions; none of them had expected Xia Yu to do such a thing. But would the others agree?

Just as the three of them were thinking this, the others also came forward with smiles and poured out all their spoils for the day. Clearly, they had already discussed it.

Xia Yu then explained the situation, saying, "We've already discussed it. Before returning to our side, all the Magic Stone and materials we've obtained in this world will be handed over to the class monitor for disposal."

After saying that, she chuckled and continued, "But class monitor, you'll have to help us forge weapons and cover all our living expenses!"

As for how much would be left? She didn't say and didn't care. Li Yu was everyone's right-hand man and the person in charge of their affairs in this world. As far as everyone was concerned, they had no objection to handing over everything they had obtained to Li Yu.

Moreover, after spending so much time together, everyone trusts Li Yu's character. They believe that Li Yu will definitely not treat them unfairly, not to mention that Li Yu will even forge weapons for them.

"That's right, Li Yu, you can accept it. We've already discussed it privately, and you can use all these materials from now on." Liu Hui spoke up at this moment, and the others followed suit.

Hearing what these guys were saying, Li Yu was speechless. Looking at the materials that were about to become public property, he thought for a moment and then said, "Fine, I'll keep them for you. We'll see what to do with them later."

At this point, Li Yu paused for a moment, then looked at everyone and continued, "That's all for today, but in the future, when you need to submit your materials, it's best if each team submits them in team-wide order. I will keep a record of how much material everyone has submitted."

After all, some people hand over more than they should, and some hand over less than they should. It's hard to say what might happen if someone tries to slack off. So it's best to be upfront about these things from the beginning.

If they need to submit materials in the future, it would be best to do so in groups, and then just keep a record of it. This way, it's fair to everyone.

Hearing Li Yu say this, everyone naturally had no objections. They had been hasty, simply dumping all the materials together. However, as everyone had just seen, the amount of materials that everyone dumped was actually about the same.

Seeing that no one objected, Li Yu began to collect all the materials that had been piled up, then looked at Asuna and said, "Let's bring out all our spoils for today."

Upon hearing this, Asuna paused for a moment before nodding. Then, she unfastened the Space Backpack she had been carrying and began emptying the materials inside.

This quantity was far greater than that of others; their small team's output was equivalent to that of several small teams. When they saw these materials, everyone's eyes widened in astonishment.

"Wow, so many?" "No way, class monitor, you should keep your materials separate, don't store them with ours. You guys are making us feel inferior!" "That's right, that's right, Yuuki Asuna, you'd better put them away quickly!"

Everyone was astonished to see that Li Yu and her group had so many materials. Wouldn't mixing them all together make it seem like they were getting the better deal?

"No, we can't do it like this!" Everyone spoke up to stop them, to prevent Li Yu from taking them all in. Some even felt that everyone was being a bit rash; they hadn't expected that Li Yu's small team could take on so many people.

Asuna was somewhat amused and exasperated by everyone's comments, but she didn't say anything. Instead, she looked at Li Yu and let Li Yu make the decision.

"Alright then, let's stick to the shares you all initially gave, about one-third each. And when you need to contribute in the future, please contribute a certain amount, okay? The rest can be pocket money." Li Yu finished speaking and looked at everyone.

So they simply overturned the previous decision and set new rules: from now on, they would collect a fixed amount based on the materials everyone farms each day, and any surplus would be left for everyone to handle themselves.

"Okay, no problem. Maybe we can even save money!" Everyone looked at each other and then agreed to Li Yu's decision. Otherwise, the output of Li Yu's team alone would be comparable to that of several other teams.

What they handed over was completely disproportionate to Li Yu and his group handed over, making it seem like they were taking advantage of Li Yu. Everyone disagreed on this point, as no one wanted to take advantage of others.

In these matters, Li Yu's class was actually quite good; they didn't let these things cause any unpleasantness, which is why Li Yu was willing to help them.

If there's any troublemaker in the class, you'll see if Li Yu will give you a wide berth. Li Yu even suspects that the people in this class have been screened before they can get in.

After all, there are probably more talented people in the school than just this many, right? Not to mention that Principal Hu also brought in a group of people from other schools. He suspects that talent is just one of the basic requirements.

The rest, I suppose, is based on academic performance over the past decade or so? After all, sometimes character is far more important than talent.

Everyone in this class is actually quite good. Thinking this to himself, Li Yu silently put away one-third of the materials, leaving the rest, including Asuna's, separately.

Regardless, Li Yu felt that everyone in this class was trustworthy and a group of reliable companions, although... he might not need them.

After dealing with these matters, everyone found a place to sit down and rest, exchanging information about what had happened that day. However, in Li Yu's perception, Ais had come knocking on his door again.

This time, Bete didn't come over; instead, he watched from a distance with two Amazon girls by his side, seemingly afraid that Bert might say something wrong again.

This time, Ais only came forward with the elven girl Lefiya. Upon seeing this, everyone stopped talking and looked at Ais and Lefiya.

Ais remained the same, staring blankly at Li Yu. After stopping about two meters away from Li Yu, she asked, "Are you free now, Mr. Li Yu?"

Asuna, Kato Megumi, and the others felt relieved seeing Ais's appearance. Li Yu was right; this girl was just a natural airhead, only thinking about fighting Li Yu.

Lefiya, who was standing next to Ais, was a little nervous, clutching a staff tightly in her hand. She was afraid that Li Yu would refuse again, and then the others would use True Magic on her again.

"No problem, let's go!" This time, Li Yu didn't refuse. After saying this, he headed towards the open space not far away. Upon hearing this, Ais's whole demeanor brightened up.

"Okay!" Ais said, and followed, but Lefiya, who was following her, didn't know what to do. Should they go back over there? Or should they stay here?

But she doesn't know anyone here. Should she not have come along? If Tione and Tiona were here, wouldn't she be less embarrassed?

The elven girl felt extremely embarrassed. "Ais, what am I going to do now that you're gone? Will these people make things difficult for me? Tiony, Tiona, could you come over?"

Just as she was feeling awkward, Asuna stepped forward and said, "Hello, I'm Yuuki Asuna. May I ask how this fairy should be addressed?"

Asuna's words immediately brought Lefiya back to her senses, and she hurriedly introduced herself, "I am Lefiya Viridis, nice to meet you."

She quickly gave her full name, and Asuna smiled and said, "Okay, I'll remember you, Miss Lefiya. Although something unpleasant happened just now, I hope you won't take it to heart."

Looking at the elven girl in front of her, Asuna felt relieved. She and Ais were indeed fine; the problem lay with that guy named Bete.

"An elf? This is the first time I've ever seen one! Hello, I'm Xia Yu!" Just then, Xia Yu stepped forward to join in the fun. Not only her, but everyone else also came forward to see this rare creature.

Many people were seeing elves for the first time, and since the misunderstanding had been cleared up, the crowd, who loved watching a good show, naturally wouldn't miss the opportunity to see the elves up close.

Seeing the Hestia Spring Clan members greet her warmly, Lefiya felt a sense of relief and complete peace of mind; she was quite perceptive of emotions.

This group of people meant her no harm; on the contrary, they were just a bunch of curious kids. Thinking about this, Lefiya was certain that it was all Bete's fault. If it weren't for Bete, they wouldn't have had that unpleasant argument.

Lefiya also started chatting with the others, while not forgetting to glance at Ais, since the person she admired was preparing to fight someone else, how could she miss it?

Seeing that Lefiya was already communicating with the people and seemed to be getting along well, the Amazon twins abandoned Bete and ran over.

Seeing those two guys abandon him and run to Lefiya's side, Bete was also confused, but he didn't want to go over, after all, what he had just done had made those people unhappy with him.

Thinking of this, Bete scoffed and sat down, intending to watch the battle between Ais and Li Yu. He wanted to see just how strong that kid really was!

Li Yu naturally noticed what was going on with his classmates, but he didn't take it to heart. They were just curious, and it wouldn't be bad to be friends with that guy.

After all, Lefiya's firepower is quite formidable. When the time comes, he'll naturally want to learn a thing or two about elven True Magic. Li Yu really wants that too!

But now was not the time to think about such things. He looked at Ais, and the two of them were already standing a few meters apart. Ais had her sword in her hand and was ready to fight at any moment.

She stared intently at Li Yu, as if asking when it would begin. Seeing her gaze, Li Yu chuckled, then raised his hand and released a Magic Array. The next moment, he drew his Tang Dao.

Li Yu's move stunned Ais. What kind of True Magic was this? Conjuring a weapon out of thin air? And was this weapon... a knife or a sword? Several questions immediately flooded Ais's mind, after all, she had never seen such a weapon before!
