Really? I'm fighting the Dark Emperor.

Chapter 12 I will always remember this kindness.

The anticipated conflict did not occur.

Standing on the podium, Director Pa gave the same opening remarks as a few days ago, ignoring the duck on Ya Ya's head.

If it weren't for that enthusiastic smile that was about to introduce the new students turning into a forced, fake smile, and the little eagle disappearing from his shoulder as soon as he entered the classroom, Rui Bu Si might have really had the illusion that he didn't actually care that much about Ya Ya's existence.

The new student... I wonder what kind of magic they'll have. Maybe it'll be nature-based, or maybe fire-based...

Ginny, sitting perfectly upright, walked into the classroom, and Rui Bu Si withdrew her unrealistic fantasies.

"Hello everyone, I'm Ulala. 'U' is the 'U' in 'Ulala,' and 'Lala' is the 'Lala' in 'Ulala'~"

While everyone's attention was focused on the new student, Pa slipped and glared fiercely at Ya Ya.

Unfortunately, the other person was blocking his view with their fufu (a type of handkerchief), so he didn't even notice it.

Kenny, who was sitting behind Ya Ya, froze, completely unaware of what she had done to offend the headmaster.

Ribes, who was behind Genny, also froze.

When she came to her senses after a while, Director Pa had already left, leaving the classroom to the new students and the others. Rui Bu Si turned her head and met the curious gaze of Mi Ya Xing.

"Do you think there's something wrong with the new classmate?"

From the moment Ulala walked in, Ruibusi, who was sitting next to him, suddenly seemed very strange.

“Oh, no, that’s not it.” Ruibusi’s hand trembled slightly on the book, her tone utterly dejected. “I just suddenly remembered that my class later is Magical Botany.”

—But I brought the wrong book.

She possesses magical physics.

"That teacher looks so serious. Will the consequences of not bringing a book be severe?"

Is it possible that someone might just appear serious but is actually a very nice person?

Maybe?

right?

"Oh~ a textbook on magical botany."

The sudden change in tone subtly heightened the tension in people's hearts.

"Actually, it's not that serious. It just means I'll be asked questions frequently, and if I can't answer one, I have to copy from the textbook."

It's not that serious... I get asked questions frequently... and have to copy from the textbook...

She no longer needed to make assumptions that she could answer; in the first lesson, she had no idea what the teacher was talking about.

But copying textbooks—the textbooks for magical botany—is like a swarm of ants carrying food, densely packed with illustrations.

Alas~ In a moment of realization, I foresaw my tragic fate.

Is there a lot of content to copy?

Maybe not many?

right?

"Well, it's alright, about ten pages."

Ten pages... Suddenly, I foresaw a fate several times more tragic than I had previously imagined.

Miya Xing held up her book and waved it in front of those gray, hopeless eyes:

"Want it?"

Their hopeless eyes lit up again: "Is it possible?"

"of course can."

That's what he said, but then he put the book away just as she was about to take it:

"You'll have to answer my question if you want it."

Rui Bu Si vaguely knew what he wanted to ask.

—I don’t really want to answer.

But ten pages, ten pages of densely packed text, ten pages that would take who knows how long to copy.

He slumped over the table, reluctantly saying, "Go ahead and ask."

"It's the same question again—is there something wrong with the new student?"

Turning their gazes to Ulala, Ulala, noticing their stares, greeted them warmly, only to be instantly drawn to the fluffy fur on Ya Ya's desk.

"Oh, hi, junior~"

"Oh my gosh~ She's so cute, can I touch her?"

At this moment, Ruibusi finally realized where her glasses, which had disappeared early that morning, had gone.

The adorable plush toy, complete with glasses and two large paper teeth, and its M-shaped hair reduced to just a tuft in the middle, somehow exudes an indescribable charm.

"Has she always been like this?" Rui Bu Si whispered to Mi Ya Xing.

“Yes, it always has been.” Miya Xing nodded vigorously.

Then, in a mysterious tone, he told Rui Bu Si, "You have to be careful. You might wake up in the middle of the night one day and find your plush toy standing at the head of your bed with a knife."

Rui Bu Si glanced at Fu Fu again.

He looks silly; even with a knife, he wouldn't be that scary.

The prank didn't scare the person who was supposed to be scared, and Mi Yaxing shrugged, not caring about it. Their casual conversation then returned to the main topic.

Only Ginny, who was sitting in front, heard their conversation, and his eyes instantly developed a terrifying filter.

He turned around, trying to find Rui Bu Si to switch places, but hesitated several times before speaking. However, the two people who were talking didn't even notice him.

He tried several times to share his fear with Lan Bao, but Lan Bao was so engrossed in the love letter that she didn't notice him.

The two people behind him started whispering again at a volume he couldn't hear at all. Not knowing what they were talking about, Genny felt increasingly terrified of the plush toy in front of him.

After instilling fear in others, the two obliviously began discussing something else.

"I have a very uncomfortable feeling about my new classmates."

Such a vague explanation is certainly not convincing.

Rui Bu Si stared intently at the book, which contained two hands, one hers and the other Mi Ya Xing's.

"Oh, it's probably like that uncomfortable feeling when you read my mind."

The gaze that had been fixed on the book drifted lightly to Mi Yaxing's hand.

With just a slight touch of their fingertips, the other person quickly let go.

"Wow, Rui Bu Si, your ability is amazing!"

Don't say a single word of praise to her, or she'll forgive him for suddenly using mind-reading again.

She's very principled!

"I'll lend you the book."

"okay."

She forgave him.

"However, now that you've lent me the book, have you already mastered everything the teacher is going to cover in this lesson?"

Before even asking the question, Rui Busi already had a pretty good answer in her mind.

After all, he's a genius, so textbooks are a piece of cake for him.

However, Miya Xing shook his head.

"you will not?"

"Hmm." This time he nodded.

I won't lend her the book again.

What a wonderful friendship between classmates.

"My friend, I will always remember this kindness."
