Ch 245: One chapter is better than four, the world is a giant cockroach.

In the Principal’s Office, Fei Si Te gave Naiya and the Meng Knights his years of research on the Gloomy Duchess and the Space-Time Rift.

There wasn’t much to discuss, Fei Si Te summarized it in a few words. Before they were about to leave, he casually said:

“Mi Ya Xing, I heard you’re the most powerful Star of Wisdom in Quark Clan history?”

As Elder Fei Si Te’s words fell, Principal Ous and his companions’ gazes fell on him. Mi Ya Xing was stunned, waving his hands repeatedly:

“I’ve never said that!”

His denial was met with Elder Fei Si Te’s noncommittal expression. He quickly turned to his companions, trying to get their confirmation, but only met the teasing glances of Eric and Wu Ke Na Na.

And a little exclamation from Wu La La.

How could this be? They had all grown up together, or at least spent so much time together, and at this crucial moment, no one was willing to speak up for him!

The world is declining! Mi Ya Xing, you poor thing~

He sadly clutched his chest. Before he could turn to another direction for a glimmer of hope, he heard Principal Fei Si Te speak again:

“I also heard about several ‘most powerful’ Meng Knights in history, right? Wu Ke Na Na, Eric?”

Eric, who had just finished laughing and was about to say something for Mi Ya Xing, was momentarily dazed.

Why, what about him and Wu Ke Na Na?

Did Principal Fei Si Te hear this from a classmate, or had they done something recently that made the Council of Elders think they were getting too arrogant?

Mi Ya Xing, on the other hand, felt relieved.

When facing bad things, having friends around is always reassuring.

From some point onwards, Ousgaida silently drank tea, occasionally glancing at the children. The teacup hid his upturned lips; he said nothing.

Fei Si Te glanced at Ousgaida, then looked away.

“Alright, it was just a joke to liven up the atmosphere.” He looked puzzled. “Was my tone not light enough, or the content not interesting enough? Why does everyone look so nervous?”

Several people immediately shook their heads and waved their hands in unison: “No, no.”

A “heart-stopping” meeting ended.

After roughly reviewing the materials provided by Elder Fei Si Te in the attic, Jian Ni lamented during a casual chat:

“Why didn’t Elder Fei Si Te praise me as the most powerful Flame Star?”

Heaven knows how long this question had been swirling in his mind.

“It’s okay, Jian Ni, everyone knows you’re great,” Wu La La tiptoed and patted Jian Ni’s sad head. “Xiao Luo Bu said I would be the most powerful Naiya Princess in Quark Clan history, I can give that title to you!”

“Hey,” Mi Ya Xing put down the documents he was organizing. “I can also give you the title of ‘most powerful Star of Wisdom in Quark Clan history.'”

He patted Jian Ni on the shoulder and then left the attic.

“‘Most powerful Star of Illusion’ can also be given to you.”

“‘Moon Star,’ also.”

Having been patted on the shoulder by several people in a row, Jian Ni was a little bewildered: “They…”

“Although I’d like to,” another person, Ou Pa, patted his shoulder now. “But I don’t have the title of ‘most powerful’ yet, but if you need it, I have Ten Stars.”

Ou Pa also left.

Only he and Wu La La remained in the attic.

“So strange, what are they talking about?” Wu La La was a little confused. “I clearly said ‘most powerful,’ why are they…”

Jian Ni proudly said: “It seems everyone thinks I’m amazing~”

Wu La La didn’t think that was what they meant.

She hesitated.

She didn’t say anything.

Small Garden.

A Lu Ai Ta certainly didn’t need any reason to go find Teacher Gabriella Li.

She just needed an excuse to escape from the high-intensity social environment to catch her breath.

—Even though that social environment essentially only consisted of Da Tiantian and Pa Hua Luo Di.

But the intensity was still high enough.

“Teacher A Lu Ai Ta is sad?”

A Lu Ai Ta suddenly felt that coming to the small garden wasn’t a good choice.

“Still…”

“It’s okay, Teacher,” Xiao Fu Die, who, like Da Tiantian, gave off an overly enthusiastic vibe, handed her a beverage. “It’s new, Teacher, you must try it!”

Okay about what?

With this question in her heart, she accepted the beverage forcefully shoved upon her by her classmate and, under those shining eyes, reluctantly took a sip.

“How is it, Teacher? Isn’t it delicious?”

Clenching the book she always carried, A Lu Ai Ta nodded—though she hadn’t tasted anything.

“Right~, so Teacher, don’t be sad, although no one wants to attend your class, and it seems like you don’t have many students who like you, but you still have to be happy oh~”

A Lu Ai Ta: ???

“The students all hate me?”

“Not really, it’s just that no students said they liked you. Oops? Teacher, aren’t you sad because no one wanted to listen in your last class and everyone wanted to leave?”

She wasn’t.

Xiao Fu Die patted her:

“Oh well, don’t worry, Teacher! Students who like you are like cockroaches, on the surface it seems like there are only a few, but secretly, there’s actually a huge swarm of them~”

As she spoke, she used her hands to gesture a large number.

“Um… thank you for your comfort, Xiao Fu Die.” She felt like joking. “Are you one of the few on the surface, or one of the huge swarm in secret?”

“Um…” Xiao Fu Die thought seriously, envisioning the terrifying image of cockroaches. “Teacher, I still want to be a human.”
