When the morning sun rose, Qin Ran was already walking along the path to the Cafeteria.
"Morning!"
The staff still cleaning the campus greeted him one after another. Qin Ran said nothing, merely nodding in response.
After spending some time around this chief student, who arrived at the Cafeteria first every day with unfailing punctuality, the staff of Theoret's E District had grown familiar with him.
He seemed aloof, but he was not arrogant.
Much less did he look down on others.
Although all sorts of rumors confirmed that this freshman chief student was not someone to cross, he still observed the proper courtesies.
Most importantly, he did not use his strength as a license to do whatever he pleased.
That was what Theoret's staff valued most.
As those at the very bottom of Theoret's hierarchy, they lived in a constant state of tension, without the slightest sense of security.
They dreaded encountering something that would put them in a difficult position.
But that never happened with Qin Ran.
As long as they did not provoke him, nothing would happen.
In fact, they could even gain a considerable measure of safety.
Someone had discovered that wherever this freshman chief student passed, no beasts from the Secret Realm would appear for a while, whether by day or night.
For the staff responsible for Theoret's various chores, that truly was wonderful news.
Their attitude toward Qin Ran therefore grew increasingly enthusiastic.
Even though Qin Ran remained as aloof as ever.

When Qin Ran entered the Chief Student Restaurant, the staff member behind the counter immediately placed his order without needing him to say a word.
Qin Ran nodded his thanks, then sat down to one side and waited quietly.
