Tian Bufan raised his eyebrows at Lin Yi's speculation and couldn't help laughing. "You're overthinking it. How could becoming the 'Principal' be that simple?"
"The 'Principal' has existed ever since the Campus was established-no, since before it was established. If just getting the notebook made you the Principal, wouldn't inheriting that position be a little too easy?"

"For certain special reasons, our entire team is 'bound' together, and everyone has their own role."
"And to keep up appearances, one of us needs to carry all the 'Inspiration'... That's you, the one with the
