The night before (Saturday)
In the public terminal room of the student dormitory, Shuijing, Kaiya and Yuzhu gathered in front of the same light screen to browse the forum.
It was about to be time to announce the list of players participating in the ladder competition. Shuijing pressed the refresh button anxiously, but accidentally clicked on a post.
[Yin Qing Yue Que] Candid shot at the cafeteria's back door! Given their eyes and the atmosphere, it's not too much to say they're a real couple, right?
[Image 1: Rinyin is looking down at a book, while Song Baiyue leans against a pillar behind her with her arms folded. The two are at least three meters apart.]
[Image 2: Matsu Shirozuki looks up, and from the angle of the shot, he seems to be gazing at Rin's profile]
Seeing this, Crystal stopped deleting the post and read it carefully.
OP:
Hey ladies! After breakfast, we left the cafeteria and stumbled upon the real boss releasing grain! Who knows the distance between me and Song, the teacher who secretly guards my sister while she's reading? They seem to be doing their own thing, but they're actually breathing in unison! P2's eyes are so piercing they could circle the big silver egg three times!
[No one is here, please do not occupy public resources]
[Upstairs, public means that everyone can use it when needed]
[Laughing to death, every orphan CP has CP fans]
[Don’t tell me, don’t tell me, these two people are indeed orphans [covers mouth]]
[It’s hard to eat, let’s eat something good]
[OP: Am I the only one who thinks these photos are well-taken? Master-level!]
[OP: Yes, yes, I think so too.]
[Did the OP forget that the school forum requires real names, so I can’t remove the vests…]
Everyone calls me teacher now. Why do we call each other teacher when we are classmates?
Someone with some connections said that Professor Song's graduation and stay at the school are almost certain, and they're already negotiating a contract. It's worth giving him a heads-up.
[Fuck, Teacher Jerry appeared upstairs, this is the real teacher]
[OP: Teacher, are you into it too? Do you want to join our cpf [dress]?]
Crystal's fingers traced across the screen, her tone extremely dissatisfied. "Who posted this? When did Song Baiyue and Boss become a couple?" She clicked on the poster's profile. "Zhang Baike, a third-year student in the Mythical Beast Department? Who is this person? Is he familiar with Boss?"
Kaiya carefully studied the details of the photo and clicked his tongue twice. "I feel like there might really be something going on between the boss and him."
Yuzhu silently opened another terminal and found the original poster's history. "...Last week she was talking about the principal and Sesiris Lan."
"Last name Lan?"
"It should be the previous head of the Lan family."
Crystal spread her hands. "Look, isn't this just a habitual Luan Ke offender? She should change her name to 'Zhang Luan Ke'."
"Actually, P2 just looked like a borrowed shot... He was probably really staring at the boss at the time," Yuzhu analyzed calmly. "And the boss treated him differently, too. Have you ever seen her proactively ask for help from anyone before?"
Crystal was stunned.
Yes, that time when she and Yuzhu were scared off by the price of the Frost Wolf eggs, Linyin was there and immediately decided to send a communication request to Song Baiyue...
You know, after Linyin saved Yuzhu, they immediately recognized Linyin as their leader. However, even if they pestered Linyin and tried their best to show their affection, it took two or three months for Linyin to let down her guard.
How long has Song Baiyue known the boss?
"Song Baiyue even helped the boss block a centipede's piercing blow." Yuzhu reminded Shuijing, "I think he's okay. Of course, the most important thing is that the boss thinks he's okay."
"...You two shouldn't talk like it's set in stone." Crystal had the stubbornness of a fanboy. "Anyway, the boss hasn't admitted it himself, so it's not true."
At this moment, a notification popped up on both screens simultaneously—

Principal and School Committee
November 15, 3588
After reading the notice, Kaiya clung to the back of Shuijing's chair and howled, "You three have been selected! Do you all have to go to intensive training from now on? Will I be left alone in school?"
Crystal's chair wobbled as he pulled her off, nearly dropping the screen. She pushed Kaia away in anger, "Two weeks of training, two months of competition—it's only a little over two months. Do you think it's that serious?"
"Of course not! We haven't been apart for so long since we met!"
"Because we've only known each other for less than a year! Idiot!"
Yu Zhu was silently clicking through everyone's battle records. "Dark Night Orchid... has no fixed level, but it gets extra points based on being a Heavenly-level Fantasy Beast."
"Given the relationship between our school and the Lan family, if Miss Lan wants to participate, she'll definitely be recommended all the way in. Besides, a low ranking in the trials wouldn't look good—without a tiered mythical beast, the school can just give her as many points as they want." Kaiya's face was grave. "It's all about social etiquette, it's all about social etiquette."
"Why do you sound like a parrot when you talk now?" Crystal gave him a look of disgust. "It shouldn't be all about social etiquette. We left early that day and didn't see it. I heard from people in the next dormitory that she released the Night Orchid. The oppressive feeling was so strong that the students downstairs could hardly breathe." Crystal said as she moved her chair repeatedly, trying to find her original position.
"Look, there's a supplementary recording notice at the end of the notice," Yuzhu pointed at the screen. "Her 10-game winning streak means she beat 10 teachers in a row."
"Oh my god! She's defeated so many teachers wearing Earth-level fantasy beast armor, and her winning streak was finally broken by the principal." Crystal also clicked on Belle's detailed battle record, took a deep breath, and decided to let her go. She checked Song Baiyue's points and asked, "What's going on with Song Baiyue's record? Did he let anyone off the hook?"
Yu Zhu nodded: "He let him go. In the eighth game, he immediately admitted defeat."
Kaiya shook his head, "This time it has to be a matter of social etiquette, right?"
Yuzhu silently turned the light screen to face Kaiya, and saw the last entry in Song Baiyue's battle record:
[Match 8, vs. Fighting Department First-Year Lin Yuzhu, lost]
"That's probably because..." Yuzhu paused. "He knows our phantom beasts can't perform at their full potential, so he wants to make sure we're selected." She turned to look at Shuijing. "If you were the one drawn, you'd probably just throw in the towel."
Crystal was silent for a while, then finally let out a sigh, "Okay, I admit he's okay."
