Temporary base.

The atmosphere is heavy.

Cheng Haoyue’s face suddenly stiffened.

Then.

Ji You suddenly turned her face to He Yu and the other two, saying, "You three are the same, listen, and you’ll be teammates alive; don’t listen, and you’ll be dead teammates."

He Yu and the others: "..."

The three faces suddenly froze.

The atmosphere grew even heavier.

Ji You suddenly grinned, "Don’t be afraid, I don’t eat people."

He Yu and the others: "..."

Damn it.

You don’t eat people, but your smile is so sinister, it’s scarier than a devil who eats people, okay?

He Yu felt a sudden shiver, as the only girl and one mainly talented in spiritual power, her constitution was weak but her senses were exceptionally keen. The malice in Ji You’s tone made her hair stand on end.

Ji You suddenly lifted a foot, stepping closer to He Yu, whose pupils shrank as she couldn’t help but step back several paces.

Ji You: "Don’t be afraid."

He Yu: "You...don’t come over."

Ji You: "Don’t be afraid."

Stepping closer again, as Ji You’s hand was about to reach her, He Yu exclaimed uncontrollably, "No!"

Screaming, He Yu squatted down abruptly, raising a hand to shield her head, and then felt a soft touch on her cheek—a consequence of Ji You’s finger brushing unintentionally past her face. She paused, hearing the sweet voice of Ji You above her:

"There was a bit of dirt on your face, I wiped it off for you."

He Yu was left speechless.

Ji You seized the opportunity to caress He Yu’s cheek, "This little face is awfully pretty, it makes one want to give it a peck."

He Yu: "..."

He Yu’s face instantly turned crimson.

The next second.

Turning to Cheng Haoyue, Liu Jia, and Wang Xin, Ji You’s expression wasn’t as soft anymore. She lowered her eyes and said, "You three, start reporting your basic information to me now."

The three failed to act.

Ji You said, "Cheng Haoyue, you’re the class monitor, you go first."

Cheng Haoyue moved his mouth: "..."

Damn it!

Who exactly is the class monitor?

Who are the teammates?

Frustration flashed across his face as Cheng Haoyue covertly rolled his eyes, saying, "What situation?"

Ji You, however, was patient and said, "School, physique, spiritual power, specialty, you only have 3 minutes. Remember, it’s 3 minutes for all of you together."

Cheng Haoyue’s mouth twitched, wanting to resist, but glimpsing Ji You’s pure, innocent eyes, he opened his mouth and said, "The Alliance Third Star System Chunqiu Star Military Academy, Physique A, Spiritual Power A, specializing in shooting."

Upon hearing this, Ji You remained silent, gesturing for Liu Jia to continue.

Liu Jia, having been beaten once, was honest now, no need to urge him, and immediately said, "Fifth Star System Abeka Military Academy, Physique A, Spiritual Power B, specializing in... specializing in..." He surprisingly couldn’t recall what he specializes in, but seeing the dangerous look in Ji You’s eyes, he shut his eyes and said, "I specialize in heavy weapons."

Ji You suddenly asked, "You’re sure? You look quite weak." Moreover, the Abeka Military Academy is a bottom school among the 1,000 schools.

Liu Jia: "..."

Liu Jia said, "I’m serious."

Ji You turned to Wang Xin.

Wang Xin’s expression was slightly calmer, and he openly said, "First Star System Alliance Tenth Military Academy, Physique A, Spiritual Power B, specializing in painting."

Ji You showed a bit of interest, asking, "Maps? Navigation charts? Starry sky maps? Formation diagrams?"

A hint of discomfort appeared on Wang Xin’s face, stating, "Oil painting."

Ji You: "..."

Ji You turned to the only girl, He Yu, whose blush had finally faded some, yet when answering Ji You’s question, she was still a bit awkward, murmuring, "Fourth Star System Kolas Star Military Academy, Constitution B, Spiritual Power A, specializing..." She paused at specialty, intending to say specializing in spiritual power application, but thinking of Ji You’s profound spiritual power, answering this way seemed as if showing off inferior skills in front of an expert. So, closing her eyes, He Yu said, "Specializing in singing."

Ji You: "..."

All around: "..."

Ji You, shaking her hand, asked, "Are you serious?"

He Yu opened her eyes angrily, "I’ve answered, what more do you want?"

Looking at He Yu, then at Cheng Haoyue and others, Ji You suddenly raised her hand, rubbed her temples fiercely, and said irritably, "All of you are a bunch of weaklings, so weak I can’t even bear to look directly. How bold were you to show off in front of me earlier?" She wasn’t merely contemptuous verbally; her mind was also extremely disdainful of her teammates. With such conditions? They dare to flaunt it?

The schools all four teammates attended were bottom-tier, and their skills were not outstanding at all—A and B talents were common in the arena, as prevalent as cabbages. Really, way too weak!

He Yu and the other two shrank their necks, staying silent. Even Cheng Haoyue felt his face pain, recalling how he initially looked down on Ji You and criticized her weakness...

"Ahem..." Ji You cleared her throat, her face again showing a standard eight-tooth smile, "Let’s forget the past; I am a very approachable class monitor... ahem... mistyped, I’m the class monitor’s sidekick little brother, so I won’t fuss about how you treated me before, as long as you—"

Her face turned serious again, "As long as you’re obedient now, that’s good."

Silence.

Complete silence.

The atmosphere was tense, with four people facing Ji You, feeling pressure everywhere, unable to resist. Can this situation even improve?

Cheng Haoyue looked at the sky, wanting this day to end quickly; he felt it was surely a nightmare that had not woken.

He Yu, Liu Jia, and Wang Xin also wanted something to disperse this tension.

Ji You glanced at the time, exactly 3 minutes. Clearing her voice, she was about to issue her first order as acting class monitor when suddenly someone appeared from afar.

Their eyes lit up. Is a new teammate coming?

There’s hope!

If the new teammate was stronger than Ji You, they could completely choose a new acting class monitor.

This person moved swiftly, arriving beside the crooked tree at the temporary base in a blink. Not pausing for a moment, having seen the five figures of Ji You and the others, he lifted his foot and walked toward Ji You and the rest.

He Yu and others raised their eyes, looking toward this person, a glimmer of joy appeared in their eyes; He Yu quickly said, "Classmate... you..."

Before finishing, He Yu’s words came to an abrupt stop, staring with a look of constipation at the new classmate—

Because, as soon as the person arrived and saw Ji You, he surprisingly said nothing but stood directly behind Ji You, then said, "Ji You, what a coincidence, are you the class monitor? I’m reporting."

He Yu: "..."

He Yu thought maybe it’s better being blind.
