Really? I'm fighting the Dark Emperor.

"Because I was worried that Ukunana might do something impulsive in order to keep Ulala alive, I stayed near Forest Star all night."

"The Star of the Forest?"

"Yes, the source of the Moe Academy's barrier power."

"But the barrier was still broken," she asked, her question laced with simple curiosity, through a straw. "What was the point of you camping out there?"

Mysterious Star: ...

"I had already advised Ukunana not to take the Forest Star off the fluorescent tree..." He touched his nose, somewhat reluctant to continue.

"Then?"

"Then a classmate passed by and accidentally bumped into the fluorescent tree, and the Forest Star fell down."

None of them expected such an accident to happen.

Rui Bu Si: ...

It seems she won't have to worry about the system issuing assignments for a few days.

An unexpected voice, in a tone she disliked, uttered words she didn't want to hear:

"You're actually scared like this?"

He looked up, weak and listless: "Hey, uncle."

Miya Xing looked warily at the stranger sitting next to her, as if she had seen him somewhere before: "You are...?"

“Wu Huaifeng, the owner of the toy store, we’ve met once or twice.”

He had a vague recollection of it, but given the current situation, he remained vigilant: "At this time, the boss shouldn't still be at the Moe Academy."

“Yes, I shouldn’t be here,” he said, looking at Rui Busi with a deep gaze and an unfathomable tone. “Thanks to a kid who got caught playing video games in class, I was called to the school for a talk by her teacher.”

They asked him if he had ulterior motives and deliberately sold the game console to Meng Knight.

"Ha... Uncle must have had a long and tiring journey. Have something to eat."

Feeling guilty, she pushed the uneaten bread over, but the person opposite her only glanced at it and said, "You're so scared over such a small thing. You should keep it for yourself."

Rui Bu Si: ...

Can you please stop saying she was so frightened?

Isn't it enough to just keep this to yourself?

Seeing that they clearly knew each other very well, Miya Xing raised an eyebrow.

The mind-reading ability showed that this person was indeed fine. He withdrew his hand from Wu Huaifeng's clothes and resumed his casual and relaxed demeanor.

"But uncle, you don't look well either. At your age, how can you be scared by a few Dark Clan members?"

She tried to keep her voice as usual, preferably with a hint of sarcasm.

But in reality, this soft, gentle voice, if you weren't familiar with what kind of person she was, would sound like a comforting tone with a touch of arrogance.

Clearly, Rui Bu Si was somewhat aware of this, and silently swallowed the words she was about to say in response.

I'm not feeling well today.

I try my best to be a civilized and polite person.

The middle-aged man glanced at her, but perhaps her dejected appearance wasn't enough to spark a verbal exchange. He didn't retort, instead turning his gaze to Miya Xing:

"There are only a few Dark minions outside. What do you, the Cute Knights, plan to do? Sacrifice Nyarlathotep to resolve the current crisis?"

“Sacrifice Naya?” Mya Star was puzzled by this statement.

Before he could answer, a familiar voice, laced with anger, spoke first:

"The one who broke through the underground waterway barrier this time was only the Dark Emperor's younger brother. Even if the principal is not here now, our Moe Academy would not sacrifice Princess Naya for such a minor character!"

After saying that, she felt something was still missing, so she slipped down and added, "Even if the Dark Emperor himself came, Moe Academy would never sacrifice Princess Naya unless it was absolutely necessary!"

"Is that so?" His words were somewhat casual, but his smile carried a hint of sarcasm. Noticing Ulala's questioning gaze from not far away, Wu Huaifeng said nothing more.

Pa slipped and fell to the ground, but showed no sign of stopping. He took a deep breath:

“I know you’ve always been bothered by what happened back then. None of us wanted to see Wu Youqing’s sacrifice.”

The moment Pa slipped and walked over, the alert Rui Bu Si had already moved to a nearby spot with her drinks and snacks.

Feeling that there was nothing for him to do here, Mi Yaxing quietly got up and then quietly sat down next to Rui Busi.

Only then did they openly turn their attention to Director Pa and Wu Huaifeng.

It's a good perspective.

"Whether I like it or not, she's not even twenty yet, and she's paying the price for your passion and impulsiveness." Trembling hands revealed the turmoil in her heart.

He had initially thought he could let go of it after all these years.

Perhaps it's because these days have been so unusual.

"Pah~" Da Tiantian, who had just arrived, looked back and forth between them anxiously and whispered, "Let's not talk about these things now, shall we?"

You can say whatever you want in private, but the students and teachers are watching.

“Head Nurse Da Tiantian, since we’ve finally got this opportunity, let’s make things clear all at once.”

"But..." After hesitating for a long time, Da Tiantian didn't continue. She stood behind the handkerchief that had slipped to the ground, pursed her lips and stared intently at Wu Huaifeng.

"What happened back then was due to my poor decision-making that led to her..."

"Pa slipped and fell! Did your poor decision back then only lead to the death of my sister?"

The sudden slamming of the table startled many people, and everyone instinctively shut their mouths, afraid of making a sound.

He stood up and glared angrily. His handkerchief slipped to the ground, and he closed his eyes briefly. Under everyone's gaze, he bowed his head and said, "I'm sorry, it was my fault."

“Pa~”

Standing in front of Pa who had slipped and fallen to the ground, Da Tiantian, with a sudden surge of courage, met Wu Huaifeng's gaze, then looked away in fear, her legs feeling weak.

“That incident can’t be entirely blamed on him. Pa knew that Youqing was afraid of the Dark Clan and had applied to the Elders’ Council multiple times.”

With a bit more confidence now, she said, "Otherwise, do you think the elders would just casually grant your request?"
