Really? I'm fighting the Dark Emperor.

Genny was still thinking about the image of Rika he had seen that day, but Teacher Qian Jin insisted that the fire started because he forgot to make coffee...

Now that the truth had come out, perhaps he had just misread it. Without thinking about it any further, he focused his energy on the experimental procedures in class.

To be honest, he couldn't understand why the two potions, which were almost identical in color, had such different applications. But he already had less than 40 points left in his potions course, and if he lost any more, he would fail the course.

The facts did not allow him to be ignorant.

Fortunately, the experiments at the beginning of the semester were relatively simple, and the four of them barely managed to complete them.

Yes, four people.

The four brains worked together to create four potions that were not quite the same color, yet were strangely barely acceptable.

Ginny and Lambo were conflicted—they were already struggling to make such simple potions, what would they do when things got even harder? Rapeseed was preoccupied with the tasks she hadn't finished that day. Suddenly, Sprouts mysteriously beckoned them to whisper something.

"Do you know why Professor Qian Jin makes coffee in the Potions classroom?"

What other reason could there be for brewing coffee in a potions classroom?

Half of her attention was focused on what Ya Ya was saying, while Rui Bu Si was also preoccupied with her own issues regarding merit.

Today is the third day, and her merits are only a drop in the ocean compared to what is expected.

What is the root cause?

Oh, it's because the reward for completing the "Do Ten Good Deeds a Day" task is very simple—the duration of magic usage.

Aside from this task, the system has never given us anything else!

They didn't give me anything else!

No! ! !

"You wouldn't want me to die before I've even done anything, would you?"

I can provide you with a loan.

Malicious intent! Utterly malicious intent!!

She would absolutely never go to that kind of place!

"My dear friend, could you lower the annual interest rate a bit?"

[Fifty-five percent.]

"You should at least obey the law!"

[The laws in some regions of the Dark Clan are written like this.]

"..."

Hisina would frown at the Dark Clan's regional divisions, and the legal systems in some areas were a complete mess... What a fine example of "obeying the law."

On the other side, Ya Ya, who had gathered everyone together, mysteriously took out paper and pen and finished writing in less than a minute. She then carefully folded the paper, looked around, and whispered to them:

"Actually, there's a huge secret behind this."

Undoubtedly, this series of small actions had successfully piqued the curiosity of all three friends, and now all eyes were focused on the paper in Ya Ya's hand.

The folded paper was reopened in less than half a minute, revealing a small formula written on the large sheet:

Co + 2Fe = Coffee

The formula is also accompanied by a note: "Guide to Laboratory Coffee Preparation".

It would be nice to relax a bit after a stressful period of studying, Rui Busi thought, but then she saw that Ginny and Lamb looked eager to try.

Suddenly, an incredible idea popped into my head, and it seemed to have been confirmed—that there really are people who believe in this kind of thing.

After the absurd joke is believed by a naive friend, the plot will likely unfold with loud laughter.

Rui Bu Si was ready with her teasing, but under the questioning of Ginny and Lan Bao, Ya Ya explained the rationale behind the formula and detailed the operating steps in a very mysterious and serious manner.

"Is coffee made this way really safe to drink?" Rui Bu Si questioned.

Putting aside the facts, this sounds like a culinary disaster, the kind that would knock you out immediately after drinking it.

At this moment, Genny displayed his wisdom: "Of course you can, otherwise why would Professor Qian Jin insist on making coffee in the Potions classroom?"

"Wow, Ginny, you're so smart!"

If someone else said this, it might sound sarcastic, but if it's Lan Bao, anyone can see his sincerity.

He genuinely believed that.

Swallowing the words that were about to come out, Rui Bu Si deeply believed that this was no longer a matter of intelligence; they really did believe whatever others said.

I can't believe the person in front of me could become the Star of Flame.

Is it possible that the Star of Flame is actually someone else, who has been hiding their true magical abilities and will only unleash them at crucial moments?

She hasn't even considered the possibility that Sapphire will become one of the Ten Stars yet.

—When the Dark Emperor was still her unscrupulous boss, she would usually target the captain of the Cute Knights first, followed by Flame Star and Moon Star.

When would you first think of the Tenth Star?

When you're just one 10-star away from completing your five-star team, but the other four stars aren't easy to obtain.

In addition, although there aren't many students specializing in healing, there are always a few in Moe Academy, and given Lanbao's current abilities... well...

If Genny's ability wasn't fire, and if there were other students with natural fire attributes in Moe Academy, she would never have considered him as a potential candidate for the Star of Flame.

He glanced at his three friends who were having a heated discussion, then looked down at the paper in his hand and the formula written on it, which had a completely different effect from what he had envisioned.

Oh no, four out of those five are idiots.

Suddenly, Ya Ya felt a strange sense of responsibility descend upon her shoulders.

From now on, I will not only take care of the clumsy duck, but also the clumsy little radish, the clumsy Ginny, and the clumsy Sapphire.

Wow, that duck has so much strength!

After class, as she was about to return to her dormitory, Ruibusi remembered the magical physics textbook she had forgotten in the Potions classroom—

She planned to flip through the book during her Potions class, but she completely forgot about it while chatting.

Walking to the classroom, she analyzed:

People with fire-attribute abilities are usually impulsive. If Kenny wanted to leave Moe Academy this time because he was wronged by his classmates, he will do the same next time.

If we can find a way to give the Dark Clan a push when they try to manipulate things again, then Genny, who has returned to the human world, will naturally have no chance of becoming a Cute Knight.

In such a crisis, if Moe Academy is in danger, fate may send a powerful Flame Star to them.

Wow, what a brilliant and flawless scheme!

"Hehehehehehehehehe—"

In the Potions classroom, Miya Xing was having doubts about the real arsonist and, through a series of analyses with Ru Guo, successfully concluded that the real arsonist was definitely not Teacher Qian Jin.

His confident laughter echoed throughout the Potions classroom. He reached up and brushed a strand of hair from his forehead as the semi-soundproof classroom door opened.

The cacophony of laughter and the raucous laughter overlapped briefly for two seconds. Their eyes met, and the confident smiles of both men froze on their lips.

—As the assistant to Mystery Star during his deductions, if he is completely in black, with the only bright spot being the light bulb beside his head, you can't see his smile.

The air seemed to stand still. After a long while, or perhaps the actual passage of time hadn't been long, it felt incredibly long to the person involved.

In short, after three dry "hahaha"s, Ruibusi thought the atmosphere had eased and turned around:

"Well, the weather's really nice today, I'm going to do some good deeds. Hopefully the weather will be even better tomorrow. Making everyone unhappy is a happy thing... um, no, making everyone happy is a unhappy thing..."

It's better not to say anything.

She didn't want that book anymore.

I can't stay at this school for another day.
