Really? I'm fighting the Dark Emperor.

Chapter 423 The "Young Girl's" Blush Surpasses All Emotional Chapters

As she had expected, the start of the school year was very busy.

The blackboard clicked and tapped, revealing the teacher's ambitious plans for the new semester.

He didn't hear a single word about the desolation.

At once,

Very bored.

She was so bored that even though she didn't need to sleep, she still felt sleepy.

It's worth noting that even if the Dark Emperor were rubbing his hands together, preparing for a major undertaking, and holding frequent meetings, he wouldn't hold a meeting for this long.

You should know that even if the meeting wasn't this long, her patience would have been exhausted halfway through.

No one told her that being a student was such a boring and tedious thing.

She should negotiate more terms with the Dark Emperor.

On the table sat a notebook identical to the one beside him. The notebook was open, with a sheet of paper covering the blank page, the contents of which were a list without any markings.

Although it was the first day of class, there wasn't a single unfamiliar name on the list, nor was there a single classmate she didn't know.

"classmate."

The soft call from the person in front brought her back to her senses.

The classroom was filled with the sound of papers fluttering, and the blackboard had stopped making that clicking white noise sometime earlier.

There was an extra test paper on the table, passed down from the student in front of me.

The test paper was labeled "Start-of-School Assessment Test".

She quickly flipped through the exam paper; it contained mostly irrelevant knowledge.

Since the teacher was standing on the podium, she pretended to write a couple of lines, and then pulled out the list after the teacher sat down, leaving the test paper lying casually underneath.

Grades, something so trivial, were not within her concerns.

"Very few students in this classroom are likely to become Cute Knights."

This was the conclusion she reached after comparing all her academic achievements and magical abilities.

Her voice was so low that no one could hear it unless there was an invisible ear right next to her mouth.

This behavior doesn't seem out of place; many students do this in the Monster Studies exam.

The teacher above was engrossed in writing the exam paper, showing no sign of invigilating.

The noise grew even louder.

"Students with mediocre grades and average magical abilities are all here..."

She thought about it and realized that luck seemed to be on the school's side as well.

Well, the students here aren't even a backup option.

It was a perfect place for her to take advantage of the chaos.

Looking back at my grades, well, they're average.

As for how he got in here with only average grades—

The magical ability she filled in was healing.

"The school already has a preferred candidate for the 'Star of the Year'."

who can that be?

As she twirled the quill pen between her fingers, she thought of her three roommates.

Yin Su is the student council president and doesn't like using magic;

Alois has been helping out in the infirmary; she must be very talented.

Cecilia, Alois's sister, is not a consideration.

This young lady, who had a conflict with her before the entrance exam and whose anger was harder to dispel than the smell of rotten durian, always targeted her in the dormitory, possessed magical abilities that had nothing to do with healing.

She shouldn't have shared a dorm room with these three classmates.

A fleeting glint of light appeared beneath the list of names, but the teacher on the podium remained oblivious, already possessing a completed exam paper.

One of my classmates has the magic of exchanging items.

His magical talent was quite ordinary, and his magic was also unremarkable.

Lacking stamina and physical strength, his withering technique has remained ineffective since elementary school, producing not even a wisp of black smoke.

Huangwu should have shared a dormitory with this "talent".

"Hey, Yin Su is a good person."

Her start of the school year shouldn't be too busy.

With fewer exams and assignments, her life should theoretically be much easier than that of other freshmen.

but--

"Shi Sishi," a test paper was slammed onto the table as Shao Lü, the teacher of the Magic Characters course, unleashed an unusually fierce temper, "Don't think that just because you got into this school you can stop studying! Let me tell you, with this attitude towards learning, you'll be expelled from school sooner or later!!"

After a moment of wandering and contemplation, he wondered whether he should be thankful that Soul Caller and Mysterious Star weren't there, since there were no familiar faces watching the spectacle.

"What kind of attitude is that?!"

Her considerations may have angered the teacher.

Slowly regaining her senses, she saw the hand on the table rise and fall, causing the entire office to shake. The teacher also used the movement to stand up.

Only she and the teacher were present in the office.

She tried to force an apologetic expression to face the teacher's blushing face.

The attempt failed.

She thought her expression probably didn't lean towards frustration.

Otherwise, the teacher would have become even more furious.

The heavy sound of the office stone door made a sound that caused the teacher to barely soften his expression.

The sound was a bit loud, and she thought that maybe the gate of Meng Academy should be repaired.

“Ou Rui,” Shao Lu’s tone was gentle. After observing her for a moment, Huang Wu concluded that her rapid change of expression did not come from any special magic. “Your grades have improved this time, but you still need to work harder, you know?”

Encouraged, the students' legs trembled so much they could barely stand. They nodded timidly in response to the teacher, their eyes darting around nervously, not daring to look at the desolation for even a moment.

"As for you," his angry tone returned, his temper even flaring up, "you'll stand outside the office until get out of class ends!"

“Teacher,” Huangwu left, and Ou Rui quickly spoke up, “I think I also need to be punished by standing in the corner.”

Without waiting for the teacher's reply, he hurriedly chased after her.

Two people were standing outside the office.

The desolate location was deliberately chosen to ensure that the teachers in the office could not see her sitting on the floor through the cutouts in the wall.

She sat down, and Ou Rui couldn't stand, much less sit down, so she knelt upright to the side.

"Sir, I'm sorry."

She made a careful sound, but sobs were still inevitable, and her whole body was trembling.

Huangwu looked up at her, but nothing came of it, and he couldn't help but ponder—

From which remote corner did they find this talent to summon the soul?

Her grades in spelling were the worst.

Yes, the person who wrote her exam paper was second to last.

The results are still a long way from being third from the bottom.

If even the study of magic words is this bad, she thought, how many more times she would have to go through this would depend on how many courses the school offered.

"If you're scared, just tell the person who sent you."

Perhaps she should start planting some of her own people in the school.

Will the Dark Lord agree?

There is no possibility of it happening.

"No, no, no, I..."

What are you two doing here?

A very familiar voice.

Huangwu tilted his head back and felt his heartbeat gradually becoming abnormal.

It's that succubus.

"The teacher who teaches magic just threw a huge tantrum, and she was so scared that her legs went weak and she couldn't stand up." The lie came out of her mouth with ease.

It didn't seem dangerous, but my heartbeat wouldn't calm down.

"A teacher specializing in magic characters? The teachers at Moe Academy are all very kind." Wen Li, whether she believed it or not, smiled and pulled Ou Rui up, almost falling to the ground because of her weak legs.

Huangwu saw the source of his abnormal heartbeat.

The girl smiled shyly at her gaze. A small magical device pinned to her collar shimmered with a light blue light. She made a couple of gestures, and then the word "hello" appeared in mid-air.

Oh, Moon Star.
