Did she injure herself?

Thinking it was her fault for bumping into him, Kanna felt a bit guilty.

Bad Tom from ACE Squad walked over with a confused expression. "I don't know what happened. Just now, when the boss was taking us to the control room for handover, Doctor Kal'tsit suddenly said that the boss entering the door with his left foot meant he was resentful of her previous arrangements. Then, without any explanation, she had Sharp and Logos hang him on the bridge."

Upon hearing Bad Tom's words, everyone was stunned for a moment, then burst into laughter, complaining about when ACE had angered Kal'tsit again, only to be targeted as soon as he returned.

As for being hung on the bridge, no one was worried. After all, it was a normal occurrence on Rhodes Island to often see someone hanging below the bridge. Moreover, only official Operators received such an honor. To everyone, it was less of a punishment and more of an amusement.

It was just that ACE, as the most reassuring elder brother in the team, was usually the one sitting below, watching the Operators being hung above. They never expected that he would one day enjoy this treatment himself.

Leisurely individuals like Scout were even preparing to go to the bridge to admire the sight of an air-dried ACE.

After listening, Kanna recalled for a long time and roughly guessed that it was about her asking ACE to take the blame before. She had forgotten about such a long time ago, and she didn't expect Kal'tsit to still remember.

Thinking of how vengeful the old lynx was, she couldn't help but shiver. She had angered Kal'tsit quite a bit on the way here. How would she target her!!!

At this moment, Kanna felt that the outside world was incredibly cold, and only her small bedroom could offer a little comfort.

She decided to seal her room after returning. Anyway, with her current reserves, not eating for half a month would only make her crave food, with no other problems. She wouldn't come out until Kal'tsit's anger subsided.

Thinking of Kal'tsit plotting how to deal with her, Kanna suddenly felt that all the food in the cafeteria was unappetizing.

Under the astonished gazes of several people, she quickly ate all the food served, wiped her mouth, and said she was going back to sleep.

Amiya and the others didn't suspect anything. After all, Kal'tsit and Kanna had been on the road for nearly two months, so it was normal for them not to have rested well. On the contrary, they asked her with concern if she had any problems.

Kanna couldn't directly say she was afraid of Kal'tsit's revenge afterward, so she could only smile awkwardly and bid them farewell.

Back in her dorm, Kanna took out a piece of paper that read, "In Seclusion for Training, Do Not Disturb," and then stuck it on the outside of her door before hiding inside.

Chapter 136 - Chapter 129: Those Who Seek Amusement Will Eventually Become Amusement

Meanwhile, Scout and several others from his group, carrying roast meat and juice, arrived at the bridge.

Seeing ACE hanging in the air, they appeared very happy, especially Scout, who laughed so hard he lay on the ground, slapping the floor.

ACE above was even more depressed. He had always been careful in his actions and had never left any handles. How did Kal'tsit target him?

Logos and Sharp, two young men, were also unkind. They sneak-attacked an old man like him from behind. By the time he reacted, Logos had already hung him up here with a giggle.

ACE couldn't understand how Doctor Warfarin, who was also hanging not far away, still had the mood to swing back and forth like a swing.

When the door below opened, he instinctively felt a sense of foreboding. As expected, Scout, that heartless fellow, joined the others in egging him on.

He was even holding roast meat and sitting below. What was the point? Did eating roast meat while looking at air-dried cured meat make it taste better!

As an Ace, ACE wouldn't argue; he would only remember everyone, especially his own team members. When he got down, he would let them know what true cruelty was...

Here, Amiya said goodbye to the others and walked back to the control room.

Seeing Amiya enter, Kal'tsit was a little surprised. After all, considering Kanna's personality and Amiya's hard work during this period, she was ready to give Amiya the entire afternoon off to rest properly. Yet, Amiya returned here after eating.

"Why are you back so early? Aren't you going to play with Kanna a bit longer?" Kal'tsit said, watching Amiya walk over and start working, feeling very gratified.

Amiya shook her head. "Kanna said she wanted to rest after eating and went back first. Rosemary and Popukar are going for a physical examination at the Medical Department. My team members have also gone to the training room. Thinking that it's better to do something rather than just stare blankly outside, I decided to come back and do more work..."

Kal'tsit frowned. The Little Dragon Person was full of energy and radiant before returning. How could she be tired after such a short time?

She casually opened Precise, brought up Kanna's surveillance feed, and asked, "What did you say in the cafeteria?"

Hearing Kal'tsit's question, Amiya immediately replied, "Bad Tom mentioned that you, Doctor Kal'tsit, had someone hang ACE on the bridge. ACE has taught me a lot during this time and has always been the most trusted guardian of Rhodes Island. Can you please not punish him, Doctor Kal'tsit?"

Although being hung on the bridge wasn't considered a punishment among elite Operators, the kind-hearted Amiya still didn't want the good Uncle ACE to suffer.

Kal'tsit's mouth twitched. She had already guessed why Kanna had hidden back in her dorm. She turned the surveillance to Kanna's door, and sure enough, there were the words "In Seclusion for Training, Do Not Disturb" plastered on the door.

If this little dragon person hadn't hidden, she wouldn't have recalled the troubles she had caused along the way. But now that she was hiding, those memories that made her feel like she was bleeding from the brain resurfaced.

Kal'tsit looked at the tightly closed door and snorted in her heart.

You think you can get away with hiding in your room and not coming out? "In seclusion for training"... In that room of less than five square meters, I don't believe you can hold out for long.

As a cunning schemer, she thought it was incredibly easy to lure out an innocent cub like Kanna.

However, when she turned the camera to the deck, Kal'tsit couldn't hold back anymore.

She hadn't expected that the usually calm and composed Scout would do something like this, gathering people below ACE, who was hanging there, to have a party. And what's more, several members of ACE's team were among them.

Pinching her brow, Kal'tsit took several minutes to calm down. She picked up the intercom and said, "Logos, go handle this. Scout seems quite envious of ACE hanging there. Send him up too."

She saw one person in the crowd below nod. Without Scout being prepared at all, he was knocked down and then skillfully pulled out a rope and hung him next to ACE.

The people around were stunned for a moment when Scout was attacked, but when they saw who had made the move, the jeers became even louder. ACE, who was hanging above, watched Logos's actions, and his somewhat numb body became spirited.

Seeing Scout hung up next to him, ACE chuckled. Didn't expect this, did you! You little brat, you wanted to laugh at me!

When Scout regained consciousness, ACE's unshaven face was right in front of him.

Feeling the surrounding environment, Scout couldn't help but curse inwardly, "Damn it, why am I up here too? It must be some old geezer who saw the situation above."

Meanwhile, in the control room, Kal'tsit covered her face, not wanting to see anything outside. She hadn't expected Logos to be among the crowd and to skillfully sneak behind Scout and strike him under the watchful eyes of everyone in the control room. Judging by the swiftness of his movements, he must have knocked out at least eighty, if not a hundred, people like this.

Although the elites in her team appeared so unreliable, it was precisely because of this that Kal'tsit breathed a sigh of relief.

It seemed that the pressure on everyone during this period was not heavy, and the atmosphere within Rhodes Island was quite good, otherwise, they wouldn't have had the mood to play like this.

Ignoring the farce above, Kal'tsit began to check the travel status of the Operators during this period.

After seeing Rosemary's record, she frowned again. She summoned Amiya to inquire about the situation in Kelvin County.

Amiya lowered her head upon hearing Kal'tsit's question.

"Not long ago, someone from Kelvin County came saying a group of Infected hoped Rhodes Island would take them in. Most of the elite Operators at Rhodes Island were away at the time, so I had Touch lead the team, taking Rosemary and a squad of Operators to receive those Infected. But it turned out to be a trap, set by that Duke of Victoria for not capturing Kanna at Rhodes Island.

According to Touch, after an Operator sacrificed themselves to protect Rosemary, she briefly lost control and, in less than ten minutes, annihilated an entire border defense regiment outside Kelvin County before falling unconscious. Touch could only escort her and the remaining Operators to evacuate and rush back to Rhodes Island.

Later, Doctors Warfarin, Hermo, and Silver Ash spent a full two days saving Rosemary."

Saying this, the little rabbit shed sad tears.

Kal'tsit was silent for a moment before saying, "Starting today, we will temporarily suspend contact with Victoria. I will send people to Victoria to investigate and try to find a way to resolve our conflict."

Chapter 137: Empress Kal'tsit's Stratagem, Young Kanna Falls Into a Trap

After finishing her work, Kal'tsit inspected the ship. As she walked, she arrived outside Kanna's door.

Looking at the sign hanging by the door, she thought for a moment, then took out her communicator and said, "Weifeng, Kanna is back. I think she's been studying for about half a year now. Prepare a test for her and see how well she's learned during this time."

At this moment, Kanna was hiding behind the door, having heard Kal'tsit's words clearly.

After listening, she was completely stunned. She had only expected Kal'tsit to find an opportunity to get back at her, but she never imagined the other party would be so ruthless as to bring out the ultimate weapon: an exam.

But she didn't dare to come out, otherwise, her cultivation of evasion would be ruined.

She paced anxiously inside. Finally, desperation turned to malice. She decided to go to Weifeng's office at night. If she could steal the test paper, then without the paper, there would be no exam.

However, she didn't realize that all of this was within Kal'tsit's plan.

Late at night, Kanna crept out of her room, looking around. No one...

She covered her little face with a handkerchief, leaving only her eyes exposed, and then sneakily made her way towards the Medical Department.

Upon arriving at the Medical Department, she found that a rescue operation was underway. No one noticed her, which made her feel a little fortunate.

After evading three groups of passing Doctors, Kanna, having gone through eighty-one trials, finally reached Weifeng's office.

She cautiously scanned her surroundings. No one. Then she opened the office door. No one!

Kanna nodded and tiptoed inside.

Once inside, she first surveyed the area. Finding no cameras, she confidently walked towards Weifeng's desk.

She rummaged through the medical records, then searched again, but still couldn't find the exam paper she was looking for. A fine sheen of sweat broke out on Kanna's forehead. In her nervousness, she didn't notice that the door had already been quietly locked from the outside.

After searching for a while without finding what she wanted, Kanna touched her chin and pondered. Did I come too early? Kal'tsit only called Weifeng this afternoon. In such a short time, Weifeng probably hasn't prepared the exam questions yet.

I was too worried about the exam and got confused. I should have come tomorrow.

With that thought, she prepared to leave Weifeng's place.

Unexpectedly, when she reached for the doorknob, her face changed drastically.

The door had been locked at some point, and Weifeng's office only had a small ventilation shaft besides the main door for entry and exit.

At this point, Kanna knew she had fallen into a trap. But how could a small door stop her strength? She prepared to force the door open and escape.

Before she could act, Weifeng and Kal'tsit's voices came from outside.

"Doctor Kal'tsit, Kanna has been studying with you recently. You definitely know her learning progress better than I do. Regarding Iberia, Siracusa, and Laterano, you'll need to help me define the scope of the exam."

"No problem. Kanna's 'learning enthusiasm' has been very high lately, and her willingness to 'participate' is strong. Perhaps she's even studying in your office right now!"

"You jest, Doctor Kal'tsit. Who would be awake and running to an office to study at this hour... Kanna, why are you here?"

Weifeng opened the door while chatting and saw Kanna sitting awkwardly on her usual study stool, looking embarrassed. Of course, she would have been happier if the book in her hand, History of Victoria, wasn't upside down.

Seeing the two staring at the book in her hand, Kanna also reacted. She quickly turned the book right-side up and explained, "I'm reciting it backwards, reciting it backwards!"

Kal'tsit's lips curved slightly. "See, didn't I say it right? Kanna's spirit of learning is very strong. She's studying diligently even this late at night, and reciting backwards..."

Kanna didn't think Kal'tsit was praising her at all. She felt that it was better to be direct than to be sarcastic like the old lynx who used to speak in riddles.

"Hehehe... I'm tired. There's nowhere to go this late at night, so I just wandered around and ended up at the teacher's office. I thought since there's nothing else to do, I'd just come and read a book... Yes, I just genuinely wanted to read a book..."

At this moment, Kanna could only bite the bullet and play along with Kal'tsit's words. While she maintained a facade of innocent, smiling naivety, her mind was already concocting dozens of ways to cook lynx meat.

Weifeng wasn't stupid. Combining Kal'tsit's sudden message from the afternoon, her insistence on walking with her, and the sudden appearance of the cub in her office, she quickly understood the cause and effect of the situation.

It was nothing more than Empress Kal'tsit feigning one thing while doing another, young Kanna falling into a trap, and then putting on a show of catching a dragon in the room.

"Alright, alright, Kanna, you can go back now! You have many surgeries these next few days, so you don't need to come to class. Since you just got back, play with your friends more. But playtime is playtime; don't neglect your studies. In a week, I'll give all of you who are attending class a test. The scope will be the history of Victoria and Letalia. Make sure to review well when you get back!"

Hearing Weifeng's words, Kanna left the office with her tail between her legs, dejected like a defeated rooster.

After Kanna left, Weifeng nodded to Kal'tsit. "It's clear that Doctor Kal'tsit and Kanna have a good relationship. Speaking of which, this is the first time I've seen you tease a child like this, Doctor Kal'tsit. Before, you were so strict with Amiya that everyone thought you were someone who never joked."

Kal'tsit looked at the spot where Kanna had left. "Kanna is different from Amiya. She has actually reached the pinnacle of Terra. There's nothing that's particularly worth learning for her. Everything we teach is just to make her understand the suffering of this land more clearly and to naturally align her with us humans. In my eyes, although Kanna looks young, she is actually a companion worth trusting. Amiya, on the other hand, is still a junior who needs to learn and improve."

After hearing Kal'tsit's words, Weifeng nodded. Although she didn't know why Kal'tsit would have such a high evaluation of Kanna after just one outing, Kanna was her student after all. Being so highly regarded by Kal'tsit was also a great honor for a teacher.

Kanna, over here, was unaware of the conversation between Kal'tsit and Weifeng. She just sadly walked back to her room with the books Weifeng had given her. They said she could play for the next few days, but with an exam in a week, how could she play well!

It was time to unleash her professional skill of cramming at the last minute!

Kanna looked at the books in her hands, her eyes gradually firming!

Chapter 138: Where Did the Nutritional Meals Go?

The next morning, when Popukar came to find Kanna, she saw her sitting on a stool, frowning at the textbook in front of her.

On her head, she wore a red ribbon with the word "Effort" written on it...

Rosemary, sitting beside her, seemed unfazed by Kanna's strange behavior and quietly read her book.

Although Popukar also wanted to go out and play, Kanna had threatened her, saying that there would be an exam in a few days and that terrible things would happen if her grades were poor. Frightened by Kanna, Popukar was completely demoralized. She carefully huddled next to Kanna, picked up her book, and began to study diligently.

Meanwhile, everyone on Rhodes Island felt a sense of unease. The most troublesome child on Rhodes Island had returned, yet the island was unusually quiet. After several inquiries, they discovered that Kanna couldn't be found anywhere on the island. Even her lunch was delivered by Amiya.

It was as if Kanna had disappeared from Rhodes Island.

This lasted for a week.

Since it wasn't a formal exam, Weifeng was the only proctor.

After a few days of intensive studying, Kanna walked into the examination room full of confidence, embodying the spirit of "three years of college entrance exams, five years of practice." She picked up the test paper and wrote with great speed. Given that Rosemary, the oldest of the three, had memory issues and her mind wasn't as sharp, the exam questions weren't too difficult. Kanna solved all the problems in no time. While her two little friends were still struggling with their papers, she burst out of the examination room with a triumphant laugh.

That barbell-like laughter soon echoed throughout Rhodes Island. Hearing Kanna's happy laughter, many people on Rhodes Island felt a sense of relief, as if the clouds had parted and the sun was shining brightly.

The Operators who had been inexplicably nervous about Kanna's "disappearance" all breathed a sigh of relief.

Her ability to laugh so happily at least proved that she wasn't plotting something big during that time.

After she ran around Rhodes Island, she saw Rosemary and Popukar also emerge from the examination room.

She ran over and hugged them.

"Ahahaha! Since everyone's finished the exam, let's go celebrate! Wuwu~ How about the greenhouse? I feel like it's been ages since we went!"

Rosemary gently patted Kanna's horn and took out a notebook to check before saying,
