Really? I'm fighting the Dark Emperor.

Chapter 165 New Principal

Within three days, the new principal appointed by the Elders' Council arrived at Meng Academy. A drowsy morning, the familiar auditorium, the familiar Director Pa, the familiar speech, and the unfamiliar Principal Situ.

The Elders' Council's notice arrived even before Elder Situ's, so the students knew the news well in advance. The new principal appeared with his unexciting, even somewhat tiresome, speech, so it didn't generate much discussion.

The audience was almost entirely silent during the speech.

But not entirely.

"What are you going to do with the signal left by Elder Os?" She couldn't stand still in this boring situation, so she seized the opportunity to start talking to the people next to her.

Rui Bu Si doesn't mind that Meng Academy changes its principal.

Just make sure you don't replace her with people she used to know.

Oh, and it would be best not to replace him with Elder Fest either.

In comparison, she felt that Elder Oss was acceptable.

After all, Elder Oss hadn't even looked at her homework yet.

Miya Xing glanced at the principal and teachers above and whispered back to her, "Pretend you didn't see it."

"Huh?" They went to all the trouble to leave this message, and you're just going to pretend you didn't see it?

"Since Elder Fest says that the Elder Council will naturally have its own arrangements, we should choose to trust the Elder Council."

"Aren't you worried that Elder Fest might be saying this on purpose?"

“There are no other clues pointing to this, and we can’t even be sure if the word Elder Os left behind really refers to a person.” Miya Xing looked at her, leaned closer and explained patiently in a low voice, “Even if it is, who knows if Elder Os knew the correct information?”

"Could you be a little more direct? I feel like you're leading me astray."

This means that "司" does not necessarily refer to a person, but may also refer to a thing;

Referring to someone can be an indication of wanting to get close to them, or it can be an indication of wanting to be wary of them;

Whether it's about making someone approachable or wary, Elder Oss's knowledge may not be accurate.

Her thoughts were swirling around, and just as she was about to speak, she was interrupted by Genny, who was idly eavesdropping on their conversation.

“Miya Xing, why bother explaining all that to her? Look at how clueless she is, she won’t understand no matter how much you explain.”

Rui Bu Si shifted her gaze from Mi Ya Xing: "You understood?"

"Well... not really..." In short, the gist of it is that Principal Oss didn't leave a message, right?

Hmm, something doesn't seem right.

It was a very quiet morning. Pa slipped in and listened to the bureaucratic nonsense around him. He secretly yawned, and before the drowsy fog in his eyes had dissipated, an ominous premonition surged into his heart. His right eyelid twitched, and he heard Genny's howl.

“Jane,” Stollum paused his speech, his face amiable and devoid of any anger, “do you have any insights into what I just raised?”

opinion?

What insights could he possibly have? He wasn't listening to a word, and all he could offer as a starting point for this speech was a solution.

"No," he forced a smile, enduring the lingering pain in his right foot from being stepped on. "You spoke so well and so brilliantly that I couldn't help but cheer. I'm sorry."

Pa slipped to the ground, his gaze so intense it seemed to see right through him. Fortunately, Situ Lang quickly brushed it off, allowing him to squat down sooner.

Of course, this action cannot relieve physical pain.

But it made him feel a little better psychologically.

And it's very convenient to wipe the dust off your shoes.

The speech finally ended after his repeated prayers: "Ouch, why did you stomp on me so hard without warning? It really hurt!"

"You always say you're a tough guy who can endure pain and aren't afraid of anything, but who knew you'd make such a loud noise from a light step?"

"I—, of course I don't feel any pain! I just didn't sleep well last night and you startled me!" Avoiding Ou Pa's figure as he prepared to treat him, "Ou Pa, you don't need to bother, I don't feel any pain at all!"

It doesn't hurt as much now as it did back then.

But there really are... no! Not at all!

"Alright, stop teasing Genny," Genny had never said anything about super pain tolerance, and Mia had personally witnessed how much force Ruibusi used. "If you keep teasing him, Genny will have to bang his head against the wall behind him to prove his strength."

It was obviously a joke.

Clearly, someone here took it seriously.

"Please, Miya Star, how could I be so stupid!"

“Alright, alright,” Ou Pa quickly stepped between Kenny and Mia Xing, “Mia Xing was just joking.”

He glanced helplessly at Mia Star, signaling her not to say anything more to upset Kenny, and then coaxed her, "I haven't practiced magic today, Kenny, could you please let me heal you?"

Just as he couldn't stand being questioned, Genny also couldn't stand being asked for things.

"Of course I can do such a small thing."

……

As usual, the newly appointed principal convened a meeting of the Cute Knights. Knowing it would be the same bureaucratic and pointless chatter as in the auditorium, Kenny kept reminding himself not to yawn so as not to offend the new principal.

The principal's office door had just opened when he was about to greet him when an uncontrollable yawn escaped his lips.

Oh wow.

He glanced cautiously at the new principal, who seemed lost in his own thoughts and completely oblivious to his impolite behavior.

That's good.

"I called you here to tell you that Elder Kendrick is doing quite well in the prison and asked me to tell you not to worry too much about him."

"Grandpa?" Ukunana and Ulala exchanged a glance, and couldn't help but smile.

Grandpa told them not to worry about him before he passed away, but they haven't heard from him for so long. How could they not worry about their loved ones?

Situ Lang nodded kindly, indicating that they hadn't misheard, and added:

"And Elder Os, what he did was also for the sake of Meng Academy and the Quark Clan, but he was a bit impulsive in his methods. I think the Elder Council will eventually handle it according to the circumstances, and I will also actively fight for him."

"That's really great!"

Two pieces of good news in a row made everyone feel much lighter, as they had been feeling somewhat heavy-hearted after witnessing Elder Oss being hastily taken away by the veterans.

But then, Situ Lang's casual remark dispelled that sense of ease.
