Under those eyes, Gu Li suppressed her guilt, gave him a bright smile, and took the initiative to hug him.

"Long time no see, Dean Victor, no, I should call you Principal now, right?"

She glanced at the bruise near Victor's eye, her tone tinged with complaint: "Who was supposed to be in class today?"

Viktor ignored He Shiyi's gaze as she looked him over, gave a soft snort, and patted her shoulder.

"Just call me Viktor. You're the commander of the 11th Army Corps now."

Gu Li replied decisively: "Victor."

He nodded and turned to leave: "Since it's just the two of you, there's nothing to worry about. I'm leaving now. I've already sent the repair bill to Mr. Cen."

Gu Li watched his retreating figure and muttered, "So fast?"

The school bell rang, and Gu Li pushed open the classroom door and walked in. She smiled at the students who were more than twice as many as expected, almost filling the classroom.

He walked straight to the cage covered with a black cloth in the center of the classroom, reached out and patted the iron cage, and the alien species that was still struggling inside instantly fell silent.

"Speaking of which, what is the process for practical courses again?"

She rested her chin on her hand: "Let me think, it seems like we're going to introduce you to the characteristics of the alien species, and then have you stay in a space with them for adaptive training?"

Everyone looked at her excitedly. Just by standing next to the cage, the figure that silenced the aliens all shouted in unison, "Yes!"

Gu Li pouted: "How boring—"

She looked out the window at the rare good weather, her eyes suddenly lit up, and she clapped her hands together: "I know, how about I lead you through the adaptation training? My mental pollution is relatively mild, want to come?"

When the streamlined, silver behemoth appeared before everyone, a loud alarm suddenly blared from the Federal University.

Everyone excitedly replied, "Yes!!"

Students in other classrooms listened enviously to the lively atmosphere of the practical class, and pursed their lips: "They're so happy now, but they'll all be throwing up later!"

But when that silver behemoth swept past the teaching building, its huge wings flapped, and it carried a large group of screaming students into the sky, even the students who were still in class wanted to scream.

What's this?!

School, tell me what this is?!

Where's the promised adaptive practical lesson?!

Why do they get to eat so well?!

They had agreed that if anyone couldn't hold on any longer, they should signal so that Gu Li would let them down. However, she ended up carrying them in the air for the entire duration of a class period, and no one asked to get off early.

Gu Li is, after all, a powerful alien species above the level of a familiar. If things like Nicholas don't reappear, she can be said to be the strongest here.

No matter how gentle one's aura is, it's impossible for it to be completely unaffected.

Gu Li listened silently to the excited voices of the crowd around her, and put them down before they started playing cards and taking a nap on her back.

She put one hand on her hip and looked at everyone in surprise: "I didn't expect you all to adapt to the practical class so well, that no one actually wants to leave..."

Before she could finish speaking, a good half of the students who had been screaming excitedly suddenly rolled their eyes and collapsed.

Gu Li: !!!

The Child of Light, who had been waiting in ambush, rushed forward. Just then, He Wei, who was being pulled over to do chores, looked disapprovingly at the guilty-looking Gu Li.

"They're fine; they just fainted from the combined effects of pollution and excitement. They'll wake up soon."

Gu Li: "Ahaha, it's good that you're alright."

He Wei looked at her speechlessly: "But you should at least have some self-awareness."

Gu Li, who had just been praising their patience, scratched his face and turned away nonchalantly.

Then, facing the dense crowd of heads sticking out from the teaching building, she immediately became self-righteous and pointed at them, saying, "Look, everyone likes it!"

Viktor, who was supposed to be in a meeting, suddenly appeared behind her, his golden-brown eyes narrowed, and he suddenly opened his mouth.

·

evening.

Gu Li finished his day's work and returned safely to the Eleventh Army Building.

She had already taken off her suit jacket, which He Shiyi had hung on her arm. She patted her ears and then moved her arm vigorously.

"I always feel like someone is screaming in my ears."

He Shiyi's eyes were filled with laughter: "Just bear with it, aren't you happy too?"

"...Damn it, they said the bill would be wiped clean, but I've flown so many times, Victor is just treating me like free labor!!"

Gu Li stormed into the office, puffing out her cheeks: "Even the amusement park rides cost money to ride, right?"

"I'm exhausted...?"

She turned around and met more than a dozen pairs of eyes gleaming in the darkness. She couldn't help but take a step back and said blankly, "I did my job well today."

The first to rush over was Vivian, her face beaming with excitement. She grabbed Gu Li's arm and snuggled into her embrace without hesitation, her eyes sparkling: "Li Li~"

Cecil looked on expectantly: "Since you've taken them flying..."

Levi coughed lightly and, under Vivian's gaze, reluctantly leaned closer: "Given our relationship..."

Lancer grinned: "It should be able to fly around once, right?"

Gu Li sighed: "Why are you all interested in this?!"

According to residents of District 1, a giant silver beast seemed to be hovering over District 1 that night, accompanied by various terrifying howls, and hovered in the air for a very long time.
