The sweat is mine, but the numbers are all theirs.

Currently, all six classroom areas are empty, with only a few students from Class 7 still hesitating.

Prodigies like Xiao He walked right behind their respective class teachers with the highest ratings from the very beginning, without needing to undergo any tests.

Just as many people were discussing it, suddenly, wisps of frost flowers fell from the sky, and the temperature of the entire square plummeted instantly.

When it falls to the ground, it forms a layer of frost, which is quite astonishing.

A student suddenly gasped, as the sky seemed to freeze, turning into layers of ice.

A cold woman, surrounded by an icy white aura and with bloodstains on her face, slowly descended.

Lu Dongyang looked surprised, especially after he saw what she was holding.

"Bone-Forging Fruit? Where did you get this?"

Song Fei was also surprised. This thing was extremely rare, and even the Divine Sparrow Logistics Department didn't have any in stock.

As for the price, it sold for 10,000 contribution points last time it appeared, which was outrageous.

Combined with the bloodstains on her face that still exuded a trace of beastly aura.

He had a vague suspicion in his mind.

After the academy exams ended, Luo Ning left the academy, presumably for this reason.

Is that why it was late?

The icy-white woman landed in front of the boy, ignoring the stunned gazes of those around her and the Tianhe Province representative beside him.

"Would you like to be with me?"

This must be what the logistics department mentor was talking about, the mentor who chose him.

The two seven-star equipment pieces and the 30% discount privileges were all created by her.

Thinking of this, Lu Yuan did not hesitate and directly bowed in response.

The woman's icy white eyes were filled with extreme coldness, as if they were devoid of any emotion.

However, at this moment he nodded.

"This is a gift for your apprenticeship. Here you go."

Lu Yuan didn't recognize it, but the blood on the fruit alone exuded an aura that made his heart tremble.

It must be a good product.

"Wait." Just as Lu Yuan was about to take it, Luo Ning seemed to remember something, and a terrifyingly cold frost power surged from her hand, freezing the precious fruit instantly.

"alright."

Without this layer of protection, the residual power in the giant beast's blood would probably burn Lu Yuan, who is just a summoner.

"Thank you, mentor."

Luo Ning gave a soft "hmm".

The room fell silent. Many students looked at their mentors, as if asking: Where's our apprenticeship ceremony? Why didn't we receive one?

The mentors who felt the gaze all looked up at the sky, pretending not to see anything.

They have never given a formal apprenticeship gift, nor is there any such custom, let alone a Bone Forging Fruit.

They themselves wanted such rare and precious materials.

Besides, contribution points aren't something that come out of thin air; they all complain about not having enough, so how can we give them away?

Thinking of this, they couldn't help but feel a little resentful. Why set a precedent?

Even if you want to, can't you do it privately?

At this moment, perhaps also tempted by the apprenticeship ceremony or by the icy white woman herself, one of the students suppressed his inner anticipation and stepped forward.

"Professor Luo, I would also like to be your student. What are your tests...?"

"No, we won't accept it."

Luo Ning's voice, like her power, was extremely cold, something she possessed naturally.

The direct refusal caused the expectant student's expression to freeze instantly.

Luo Ning ignored all of that and turned around, saying, "Come with me."

Chen Feiyang, also an instructor for Class Seven, couldn't help but remind her, "Luo Ning, are you only taking care of one student? Isn't that against the rules?"

"If there's anything wrong, have the Prefect come and tell me."

"..."

Chen Feiyang was speechless, but Song Fei was delighted.

Lu Yuan, who was originally ranked first in the assessment, was relegated to Class 7. He was genuinely worried that they would overthrow his Class 6 and advance to the next year.

But now it seems I worried for nothing.

Because the monthly rating is based on an average, rather than a rating that can be raised simply because one student is very strong.

Otherwise, each instructor wouldn't have so many students to choose from.

The purpose is to drive efficiency through quantity.

The points earned by ten students completing the task far exceed those earned by a single individual.

Even the most extraordinary genius is no exception.

Otherwise, there wouldn't have been a situation like Luo Ning, who only mentors one student, until now.

This clearly shows that they don't care.

Chen Feiyang thought so too, and sighed inwardly.

My year-end bonus and performance rating are likely to drop again this year.

After all, even the strongest one was put aside.

Lu Dongyang just smiled, because no matter what, his class could not be shaken.

After all, they can't even compete with a group of students led by a single mentor, let alone in a larger class.

Historically, it has always taken several years for someone to climb the ranks in a class.

It requires the combined efforts of many outstanding students.

However, apart from Lu Yuan, who was an unexpected dark horse, the students assigned to Class 7 were all those who had performed poorly in the assessment.

Even if they do their best, they can only threaten Class Six below.

Besides, we've already done the worst possible thing.

Lu Dongyang shook his head and said to the homeroom teacher of Class Two, "It seems that this year, it will be another showdown between us."

"Yeah, but Class 2 won't lose this year."

……

Lu Yuan didn't ask where they were going and obediently followed.

Seeing this, the black and red horse girl quickened her pace to her king's side, seemingly wanting him to come up.

Lu Yuan shook his head. Didn't he see his mentor was walking away? How could he sit down?

The black and red horse girl was immediately a little disappointed, while the dragon girl, before the horse girl could even react, immediately sat down.

"Get down here!" The horse girl's face was a little angry.

"It won't go down!"

The two women were about to start fighting.

Lu Yuan sighed, "Sevia."

The black and red horse girl, who was gripping her heavy gun and preparing to strike the dragon girl directly, suddenly stopped, while the dragon girl hummed and revealed a smile.

It was as if they had won a victory.

Soon, we arrived at the eastern side of the Divine Sparrow instance area.

A woman dressed in a black suit was waiting there early in the morning.

Seeing that Luo Ning only had one person and a few summoned beasts behind her, she paused.

"Why...did you only bring one student?"

Students grow stronger with the guidance of their mentors, thereby taking on tasks and earning points, which will determine the mentor's and class's rating.

How can one person compare to a dozen or even dozens of people?

"I'm tired," Luo Ning said calmly.

The assistant remained silent for a moment, then asked, "What about these two challenge dungeon traction stones...?"

"Give it to him." Luo Ning paused. "Level 60, are you sure you can handle it?"

If I fail, I'll apply to switch to level 59.

The difference of one level is like the difference between normal and hell in terms of difficulty.

Lu Yuan took it, and with a thought, he and his summoned beasts disappeared from the spot.

(I probably went to bed at 8 pm and got up at 12 am yesterday, so I was in really bad shape. But thankfully I didn't miss any updates. Otherwise, if I had updated three chapters yesterday and only one today, wouldn't that have been the same as not updating at all? That would have been too much of a torture for you guys, meow.)

Tomorrow, the Life Power will unlock a new effect, meow... Oh no, it's today, it's already past midnight, meow.
