The hero's gender is yet to be determined after rebirth.

However, although the classmates around her were gathered around her, they were clearly further away from Sally. This indicates that she was being isolated.

Huh? Sally got into an argument? That's not like her at all. Lorenve and Sylph, who knew her well, both found it strange.

Especially Sylph, who stood up for Sally before, knows best that Sally wouldn't fight back when bullied, so why would she be arguing with someone here?

"Why can't it be sold? The academy doesn't have any such prohibitions! Besides, our book avoids all sensitive words and isn't classified as prohibited!"

These girls were all wearing the same badge. The badge featured a blue long hair logo as a background, with the character "伦" (lun) printed on it.

This is clearly the emblem of the Loren Care Society.

Lorenwei was astonished by the creativity and pioneering spirit of these girls. Her rumor had only been circulating for less than a week, and they'd already made badges?

Sally blushed: "But your book only avoided the prohibited words; anyone can see that there's some inappropriate content..."

A group of girls chattering away:

"Not good? What's wrong with it? If it's not good, why are you watching it?"

"Exactly, you watched it yourself and still say it's bad? Have you no shame?"

"Hmph, if you ask me, the fact that Sally can understand it means you yourself are not good enough. If you were good enough, you wouldn't understand it at all!"

That makes a lot of sense, Lorenwei thought to herself, wanting to laugh, but she couldn't help but think of the online novel censorship standards of another world.

For Lorenwei, the idea that "a Buddhist sees Buddha" is the most irresistible, but GHS (Gross Sex and Hate) is the greatest driving force of human development, so it can't be completely banned, right? Therefore…

Uh, no! This book is definitely not GHS! Lorenwei quickly changed her mind, shifting from support to opposition.

Lorenwei almost let her passion for the doujinshi override her reason. She secretly wiped away her sweat, reminding herself that she was now the protagonist of the doujinshi and couldn't just show her support as usual!

Sally said earnestly, "As I just said, I have no right to stop you; I am merely offering advice. The hero Mu Zhe is a great man, and Lorenwei has not made a definitive statement—no, it should be said that she herself has never acknowledged this rumor."

The girl with glasses hadn't spoken before, but as the leader, her words hit the nail on the head: "Just say it directly, do you always think you're the daughter of the hero Mu Zhe, so you're righteously stopping us, right? You think this book insults your father?"

“…” Sally bit her lip and lowered her head in silence.

Lorenwei understood what she saw and heard.

Sally discovered the book, which allegedly involved her father, and wanted to talk to the author, or at least try to persuade them. But she didn't expect the author to make such a big fuss.

It's possible someone instigated this. Lorenwei carefully examined the girls in the crowd; some of them did look familiar—they were probably the girls who had previously clashed with Sally and bullied her.

The other girls in the care group urged, "Speak up! If you don't dare to say anything, what are you trying to advise us about?"

"...Yes, I admit I had those thoughts. But I didn't completely identify as a daughter; I just felt that this was inappropriate for a hero..."

The girl with glasses saw through Sally's honesty, a knowing smile playing on her lips. She went straight to the point again, saying, "Not entirely? But you still have the mentality of considering yourself a hero's daughter!"

“I…” Sally was an honest girl and unwilling to lie, so she nodded with a forced smile: “Yes, but it was just a little bit of a thought, mainly because I felt…”

She couldn't deny that she had come to talk to Loren because she didn't want her father to appear in such a notebook. Although she was just giving advice and didn't mention her identity as the headmaster's secretary, she didn't expect to be met with such a strong backlash.

The girl with glasses snorted and said loudly, "Alright! Sally, you think you're so righteous, acting like the daughter of a hero, that you can force us to stop selling your products? First, you should ask everyone if you think you're qualified!"

Other girls chimed in, "Exactly! Who said you're a hero's daughter?"

"Yes, we don't know if you are the daughter of a hero, but we all know that you are the daughter of a fortune teller!"

"Oh dear, yes, if she is said to be the daughter of a fortune teller, we will acknowledge it!"

Lorenwei sighed inwardly.

This is the herd effect.

Everyone may be a good person, but when they come together and choose a different, wrong path, everyone thinks they are right.

It's like the herd mentality; everyone silently watches the individual being devoured, not even caring to kick them hard.

Sally looked at the students around her with embarrassment, her hands clenched tightly, but she didn't retaliate.

She's not the type to retaliate in this situation.

"That's enough!" a woman's voice rang out.

Everyone looked in the direction of the sound and saw a green-haired female elf walk in through the crowd.

Her beautiful eyebrows furrowed as she looked around at the people with disgust: "You all laugh at your own classmates like this?"

Some girls wanted to retort with questions, but they immediately noticed the blue-haired girl not far behind the female elf.

That's Lorenwei!

Many girls stared wide-eyed.

This Loren Care Club was founded specifically for Lorenwei, and every girl who gathers here is a fan of hers. Many of them have been thinking about her constantly lately, even fantasizing that Lorenwei could be named Loren and become their Prince Charming.

Just then, Prince Charming appeared!

The scene suddenly fell silent.

Sylph walked over to Sally, took her hand, and stood beside her.

"You're just mocking a classmate, an ordinary classmate who's right next to you and hasn't done anything wrong? Just because she's a mother, she's being ridiculed?"

Sylph was furious, her sharp eyes scanning everyone around Sally.

Many students lowered their heads because of her gaze.

Sylph continued speaking, her words flying like arrows.

"Who is born with the right to decide their own destiny?"

"What a person can decide is the path they take. A person's greatness lies in the journey they take in life, yet you want to mock the starting point of their life?"

"If your parents were fortune tellers, would you want to be laughed at?"

"If fortune tellers can be ridiculed, then can those whose parents are nobles ridicule those whose parents are commoners?"

"Does being an ordinary citizen give you the right to mock farmers?"

"Does this give farmers the right to mock hunters?"

"Can a hunter mock a craftsman?"

"A long-term worker mocking a short-term worker?"

"A short-term worker mocking a temporary worker?"

"absurd!"

Sylph loudly condemned her classmate Meng, but no one retorted.

On one hand, Sylph spoke with great passion, leaving the students speechless. On the other hand, Lorenwei was right there; standing up now would only leave her with the worst possible impression.

Some clever girls have already quietly slipped away.

"Don't let them remember my face! Please, Lorenwei, don't remember I was there!" The girl prayed silently as she fled.

In the past, he would have loved to make a lasting impression on Lorenwei, but now he was afraid of being remembered by her.

Although many people were unconvinced by Sally's actions, wondering how a fortune teller's daughter could win the support of a female elf, conventional wisdom was hard to change and couldn't be altered by a few words from Sylph.

Sally looked at Sylph gratefully, feeling the elf's warm and strong hand holding hers.

This is the second time this female elf has stood up for me; I never expected her to be such a kind person.

Sally even felt like she was her older sister.

"I am an elf. I love humans and their culture and customs, but I am ashamed of your views! Even as an elf!"

Sylph glared fiercely at all the students.

She didn't know what to say next; she was speechless.

After her impassioned speech, she stopped talking.

After all, I'm not a public speaker, nor have I had any training; I just spoke from the heart.

She stopped, but no one else reacted.

The situation was somewhat awkward at one point; no one supported it, and no one opposed it.

Kurala was anxious; the situation was about to spiral out of control!

Royal education naturally includes some knowledge of emergency situations. These students were certainly going to resent being openly scorned and nearly humiliated by Sylph's rapid-fire reprimands!

If someone suddenly explodes at this moment, making a scene and even physically assaulting Siruf, it could very well escalate into a serious incident!

At this moment, Kurara realized that she had opened her mouth, knowing that she should support Sylph, but she couldn't say it.

I'm so stupid! My mother always said my weakness is that I'm a bit slow on the uptake; in crucial moments, I might not know what to do or grasp the key points. Now I clearly know the key points, so why don't I know what to do?

Just as Kurara was getting anxious and Sylph didn't know how to respond, a pleasant female voice rang out.

“Sylph, you’re absolutely right. I’m ashamed of my human race’s emphasis on lineage.” Lorenvi stepped forward at this moment.

All eyes were on her.

There's no way around it, she's just too beautiful. Once she's in the spotlight, it's impossible to look away.

Whether male or female, everyone who looks at her feels that this young woman is particularly charming, a kind of heart-fluttering feeling.

Actually, when Sylph was speaking so generously just now, many people's eyes were on her.

Many people take it for granted that with such looks and charisma, one would be the center of attention wherever they go.

Now that she has stepped out of hiding and into the public eye, she appears even more poised and charming.

Some girls who were about to slip away stopped in their tracks when they heard Lorenwei appear.

"Oh my god!" one boy thought to himself. "Lorenwei is so beautiful! My heart is fluttering! I must buy the rubbing I've been holding back!"

Some girls thought to themselves: If she had even an A-cup, she would be a near-perfect young woman! Thank goodness she didn't. Anything is possible before being classified as a boy. With this level of attractiveness, if she were classified as a boy, she would definitely be even more captivating!

Some intelligent and perceptive girls noticed that Lorenwei's way of speaking was subtle; she didn't elevate herself excessively, but rather placed herself among the others who would be criticized, which made her easier to accept.

As expected of Lorenwei, the girls who noticed this gave her a silent thumbs up. This is a social skill; otherwise, directly defending the female elf would instinctively create resentment among everyone.

This way, everyone is brought together. It avoids offending anyone and essentially affirms the female elf's words.

“Sylph, you said it so well. As expected of the person I like, I am proud of what you said.” Under everyone’s gaze, Lorenvi stepped forward, gently took one of Sylph’s hands, and lightly kissed it.

Amidst countless envious, jealous, and resentful gazes, Sylph's face flushed crimson: "What...what nonsense are you spouting! So many people..."

She stomped her foot, parted the crowd, and ran out.

Lorenwei wasn't in a hurry to chase after them. She just looked around, not even lingering on Sally. After quickly scanning the area, she focused her attention on the thick stack of books on the table.
