Ch 156: The Headmaster’s Position

“Xiao Luo Bu!” Wu La La exclaimed, her face full of surprise, “How did you get here?”

Rui Bu Si pointed to the door, “The door was open; I just walked in.”

Normally, at this time, she, always happy to help, should be diligently assisting classmates in need.

However, the path of doing good is always winding.

She hadn’t been helping for long when she ran into Xiao Fu Die, who had come looking for her. Xiao Fu Die first chattered on and on about how difficult it was to find her, and after expressing her feelings, said the Old Man called her to the Teacher’s Office.

Upon arriving at the Teacher’s Office, there wasn’t a single teacher in sight, let alone the Old Man.

They did hear a lively commotion coming from the Principal’s Office.

Her original intention was just to eavesdrop to see what was so lively.

Approaching, she found the door ajar and the voices familiar.

So she just went in.

“You really know Advanced Communication Magic?”

“Of course.”

Very unceremoniously, she sat directly in the Principal’s seat; nobody had time to bother her right now.

—Ou Pa and Head Nurse Da Tiantian were in the Arts and Sciences Classroom researching a potion to wake Director Pa up early;

Wu La La and Wu Ke Na Na were stationed near the Underground Waterway just in case.

The only ones left in the office were her, Mi Ya Xing, and a sound asleep Director Pa.

Mi Ya Xing pursed his lips, suppressing his worry: “Then what do you need me to do?”

“Oh, there’s a very important task for you,” Rui Bu Si said, lying on the office chair.

The position was very comfortable, making her not want to move at all.

She gestured for Mi Ya Xing to come closer, then whispered to him, “Help me find the incantation; I can’t remember it.”

In less than three seconds, the person leisurely lying on the chair was lifted and half-dragged to the Library.

Only Pa Hua Luo Di remained in the Principal’s Office, on the sofa.

After entering numerous keywords into the Facebook in the Library, the intelligent system filtered out a dozen suitable incantations. Rui Bu Si studied them, reminiscing and sighing, “I feel like I was born to sit in that chair.”

Mi Ya Xing glanced at her: “To become an Elder of the Quark Clan requires participation in an assessment, and after the assessment, there are many more years of…”

“Forget it then,” she interrupted, “Suddenly, the Principal’s position seems rather… underwhelming. It doesn’t suit me at all.”

“Okay! This is the incantation.”

She quickly found the relevant magic book using the incantation.

She was about to take the book from Mi Ya Xing, but he didn’t immediately give it to her.

“Are you sure you know how to do this? Using unfamiliar incantations, especially advanced ones, carelessly could cause irreversible damage to the Shi Juan Shi if something goes wrong. Considering how you slack off during magic practice, it’s hard to be reassured. Should I…”

“Oh, come on!” she exclaimed, jumping up to snatch the book and dodging Mi Ya Xing’s outstretched hand, “It’s not like you know how, either.”

And why does every hypothetical scenario have to lead to such dire consequences?

“Don’t say such unlucky things in broad daylight. Don’t worry, I’m a natural magic master~”

She didn’t seem to be bluffing.

Mi Ya Xing was still uneasy: “Then…”

“If something really goes wrong, you’re here too.”

How strange; when did he become so talkative?

Back in the Principal’s Office, using the incantation a second time—the first time was so long ago she couldn’t remember when—the process went smoothly.

“See? I told you… hey?”

“What?!”

“Eric says it’s a bit difficult; the Meng Warriors are somewhat scattered. If he organizes the evacuation, the difficulty will increase significantly, but he will try his best.”

Both of them looked at the unconscious Director Pa.

The reason for choosing this incantation was that it wasn’t a simple, one-way communication magic; Eric could use it to send his message back without excessive consumption of his Shi Juan Shi.

Of course, this magic also had its drawbacks.

Lying on the desk, looking half-dead, Mi Ya Xing was startled by her sudden movement.

“I’ll take you to the Infirmary!”

“I’m fine. Just a bit tired from using too much Shi Juan Shi. Ah, this desk is so cool and comfortable.”

Mi Ya Xing breathed a sigh of relief, saying helplessly, “You always slack off during magic practice.”

How could that be her fault?

Whether she practiced the magic given by the System or her own magic didn’t matter. Besides, magic isn’t something you need to practice; it’s something you just do!

“That’s not true! I’m very diligent… hey, we haven’t practiced magic together much, have we? How do you know I always slack off?”

Her questioning gaze lacked any intimidating power. She went from lying down to sprawling bonelessly in the chair: “Confession is good, resistance…”

Her mouth was covered by an apple that appeared from nowhere.

“I’ll go support Wu Ke Na Na and the others.”

The Meng Warriors were still charging deep into the Underground Waterway, right? If the Dark Clan had infiltrated Meng Academy, the alarm should have sounded. Meng Academy is currently calm. Where would Wu Ke Na Na need support?

The apple was quite crisp.

Wait.

Was it washed?

…

Underground Waterway.

“Strange. Did the Dark Clan discover our identities? Why are the Dark Soldiers attacking us?”

To avoid exposure, they had been using fairly common Common Attack Magic.

However, at some point, this group of Dark Soldiers seemed to have received some kind of notification. Numerous members of the Dark Clan surrounded them, forcing them to separate from the other Meng Warriors.

“Eric,” Jian Ni said, sensing something was wrong, “It feels like they’re targeting you specifically.”

Eric thought so too.

They didn’t have time to worry about exposure. After casting several spells, knocking down a circle of Dark Soldiers, the remaining soldiers retreated as quickly as they had surrounded them.

The surroundings were empty, with neither Meng Warriors nor Dark Clan members, only each other.

It was like a trap.

The two cautiously examined their surroundings; even the Poison Ivy on the walls remained still.

They were currently on the fourth level of the Underground Waterway.

According to the plan, they couldn’t go any deeper. Otherwise, when Principal Ous finally planned to leave, they might be trapped in the Dark Clan’s encirclement along with the other Meng Warriors.

But…

Hearing the cries of pain and screams from the lower level, they couldn’t stop Principal Ous’s decision. The purpose of this mission was to minimize student casualties, but how could they ignore this situation?

Exchanging a look, Eric and Jian Ni nodded in mutual understanding and walked towards the entrance to the next level.
