Eric arrived on a rare rainy day. Gu Li slurped up the last bottle of nutrient solution he had gotten from Alfoseni and patted his stomach.
This can't go on forever.
Without sufficient energy to replenish her body, the toxins within her body will continuously erode her vitality. Now, most of the starlight generated within her body each day is used to fill this enormous void.
It's not hard to imagine that an ordinary person's body would have given out long ago.
As Saide casually passed by her from behind, he noticed her deathly pale face and couldn't help but ask, "Are you sure you don't need to go to the hospital? The school hospital's technology is quite reliable."
If she is scheduled for treatment by the Children of Light, it is difficult to guarantee that they will not notice anything unusual about her body.
Gu Li shook her head weakly: "No need, it's a small problem."
Gu Yuanqing has already started contacting her.
Alfoseni stood behind the two of them, his gaze fixed on her, his voice cold: "It's not a good thing to avoid seeking medical help. If you went to the hospital, you could definitely wait for the Child of Light to treat you sooner."
"Once this month's classes are over, the top ten students in the grade can start taking on assignments. If your body can't keep up by then..."
Gu Li sighed and stood up, reaching out to pat his shoulder, but instead slid down and patted his arm instead.
"Don't worry, I can take care of you in three minutes even now."
Alfoseni paused, his expressionless face fixed on Gu Li. Saide unconsciously clenched his fists, gritting his teeth: "If you're so confident, how about we have another match?"
Gu Li threw away the empty bottle in her hand, stood up, and slowly stretched: "I don't want it."
Alfoseni put down the book in his hand, gripped the longsword at his waist, and slowly drew it: "Then it's settled. Same rules as before: no damaging the protective shield, everything else is up to you."
Gu Li, with an "I knew it" look on her face, said with dissatisfaction, "I already said I didn't want it, you two should at least have some consideration for the injured person!"
As Said charged forward with his sword, a light blue protective shield rose around the three of them. The students passing by ignored them and continued on their way.
Ever since those three got into a fight with Hall in the cafeteria and shattered the protective shield, it's like they've flipped a switch, and they can start a fight anywhere.
They went from excitedly watching and marveling at the three men's ever-improving swordsmanship to becoming numb.
This level of combat is not something they, as first-year students, can participate in. The three of them fought nearly a hundred battles in a month, averaging three battles a day.
The federal university maintenance staff were terrified of them.
Julie, a first-year student, glanced in the direction of the three of them again, a hint of envy flashing in her eyes. She had been so close to Miss Gu Li on the border battlefield of Exile Zone One.
Upon learning that Miss Guli had enrolled, he wanted to help her. However, after arriving at the Federal University, he realized that the gap between them was as vast as an insurmountable chasm.
Julie clenched her fist secretly, thinking that one day she would stand openly by Miss Gu Li's side and become an even more powerful right-hand woman than the other two!
Just like... just like the inseparable young lady and her butler in the old days!
Before the smile on her lips could fully bloom, the three entangled figures suddenly separated, and Miss Gu Li, slightly out of breath, looked in... in her direction?!
Julie mustered her courage and just lifted her foot when a blur flashed past her side, and Miss Gu Li was already gone from sight.
A cheerful voice, unlike anything she had ever heard before, came from behind her.
"Eric!!! You actually arrived early without telling me!"
Julie slowly turned around, and with just one glance, her pupils dilated slightly. She couldn't help but hug the book in her arms tighter and take a step back.
This person...
I have a constant feeling of danger.
He was a man whose appearance was absolutely flawless. He was wearing an exceptionally retro and gorgeous little suit, and in his white gloved hand he held a silver hand.
He was now skillfully protecting Miss Gu Li from behind, letting her climb higher and higher on his body until she was sitting on his shoulders.
Everyone present felt a strange sense of familiarity with this outfit, and their eyes all turned to Gu Li, who was swinging her leg on someone's shoulder. It was exactly the same style as before she changed into her school uniform!
Saide relaxed his guard, put his hands on his hips and looked over there, casually complaining to Alfoseny, "She's so excited. I thought she was the type who was interested in everything and didn't care about anything."
Alfoseni's gaze fell on the tall, upright man who was lightly supporting the girl on his back, his expression grave.
If he wasn't mistaken, Gu Li had rushed out at full speed the instant he defeated them; his terrifying speed was so great that only a faint afterimage could be seen in his sight.
The man called Eric caught it without batting an eye; in other words, he might be incredibly strong too.
Said listened to his mutterings and rubbed his nose in frustration. He couldn't even beat Gu Li now, so who cared how strong her brother or anything else was?!
Eric skillfully soothed Gu Li, then expertly tore her off his body, gently patting her light golden hair through his gloved hand.
"I understand. I'll listen attentively to what you have to say later. Now you should take me to see the headmaster."
Gu Li's excitement gradually subsided. Noticing the group of people looking at them, he pulled Eric to stand in front of them.
“This is Eric, my… family.”
Before she could finish speaking, Eric took a small step forward, bowed slightly, and said with an elegant and dignified air, "Good afternoon, everyone. I am Rosselli Eric, Miss Gu Li's butler."
