In another world, Lu Mingfei is learning card making.

Lu Mingfei still couldn't figure out this problem before going to bed.

At first, he was thinking about the things between his uncle and aunt, but the more he thought about it, the more his uncle's face kept flashing back in his mind.

Although he could still match the face of his uncle in his mind, the more he thought about it, the more he felt something was wrong—even if a sudden change could alter a person's features and temperament, shouldn't the change be for the worse?

Like my aunt, she had pent-up emotions in her chest, which rose to her face, causing her to change color and making her look several years older at first glance.

Who would be like this uncle, suddenly finding out that he had raised someone else's son for over ten years for nothing, yet his spirits improved and even his skin seemed to rejuvenate?

There's definitely something fishy going on here!

Lu Mingfei turned over, feeling both worried and excited to have found his way, and prepared to go to sleep.

Now that we've made a good start, we can continue along this line of thought. There's no use being anxious now; it's better to get a good night's sleep and rest.

These were the words of comfort spoken by the red-robed monk to Lu Mingfei, who couldn't seem to grasp the material the indoor dueling teacher was going to teach during his pre-class preparation. Lu Mingfei remembered it clearly; it was the first time he had ever hugged the red-robed monk through his red robes.

He had expected to feel the warmth of a living person, but when he hugged her tightly, he only felt a stiff mechanical watch face.

—If this is some kind of romance novel worldview, it should be when the male protagonist swears an oath to find a way to turn the female protagonist's mechanical body back into a human body.

Lu Mingfei had done the same thing, but the red-robed monk reacted quite strongly. Lu Mingfei could tell that if anyone else had spoken to her like that, she might have taken out the acetylene torch used for repairing forging tools and started grilling them the next second.

This prompted Lu Mingfei to quickly apologize, saying he had misspoke and would definitely send her something else to make amends in the future—which is why he sent the red-robed acolyte to the internet cafe, because at that time he learned that the red-robed acolyte preferred various machines and new mechanical knowledge to obtaining a physical body.

I just never expected that the red-robed acolyte would do something so significant for him...

Frustrated, Lu Mingfei turned over and began to think about the wand combat technique that Rong En had taught him, repeating it over and over in his mind—after realizing that he couldn't fully concentrate on imagining it, he even used up the spark he had generated that day, just wanting to fall asleep as soon as possible.

A night passed, and Lu Mingfei still got up at 6:30 in the morning. Turning his head, he saw Lu Mingze still sleeping in bed, his eyes red-rimmed, clearly having cried the night before.

Lu Mingfei sighed silently and quietly left the room.

At St. Mary's College, 6:30 in the morning is very early, with enough time for Lu Mingfei to run a few laps around the track with Rong En before returning to the dormitory to take a shower.

However, at Shilan Secondary School, well, sorry, it's not actually that early.

After all, there's morning reading at 7 a.m. If Lu Mingfei still wants to preview the material, he'll either have to stay up late or get up even earlier...

"So I choose not to preview the material." Lu Mingfei gently tapped his leg and started jogging.

Although he couldn't do professional strength training, Lu Mingfei didn't plan to not train at all during these seven days—his absence yesterday was a special case—if he really didn't train at all in the real world, he would definitely be out of breath when he returned to St. Mary's Academy and trained with Rong En.

Even if Rong En doesn't scold or hit him, Lu Mingfei still can't forgive himself for being lazy—after all, every improvement in his body will be reflected in his attributes, and then become real combat power.

...Does St. Mary's Academy really have summoners who can build up their strength?

Lu Mingfei adjusted his breathing, and even with his backpack on, his pace didn't drop an inch. He saw other people jogging along the way, some middle-aged and some young, but none of them could match his pace.

What we're saying is, St. Marian's meat wasn't eaten for nothing.

Lu Mingfei smiled faintly, and quickened his pace.

It only takes half an hour to run from his uncle's house to school. Lu Mingfei ran the whole way, paused to catch his breath at the school gate, and then slowly walked into the classroom.

From the moment he came into contact with supernatural powers, Lu Mingfei stopped paying attention to the many trivial matters of the real world—he was "instigated" by Rong En to beat up and punish that guy, partly due to the influence of his new friend, but it's also true that his arrogance stemmed from gaining supernatural powers...

Let alone others, even he himself doesn't believe it.

So now, when Lu Mingfei listens to a lesson given by an unqualified teacher in an ordinary school in this mundane world, he finds himself completely unable to settle down.

Rational numbers, addition and subtraction, number lines...

Honestly, it doesn't feel as good as summoning spells.

Lu Mingfei rested his head on one arm, letting everything he heard go in one ear and out the other.

He was speaking eloquently on the podium, but Lu Mingfei just lay on his side, staring at the horizontal branches outside the window.

Hmm—twigs, green, leaves, life. In modern magic, "green magic" is its symbol, which can also be explained by theories inherited from druids and green dragons…

If used to create magical spirits, it might give birth to tree spirits, druid apprentices, ranger apprentices, or younger spirits. However, directly creating magical spirits would be wasteful of materials; the best approach is to carve them and perform a ritual—this part falls under theology, which the teacher didn't explain in detail…

A hand quietly twisted his ear, forcing Lu Mingfei to sit up. His eyes were filled with anger as he looked at the person twisting his ear, but the anger quickly dissipated—

That was his magical spirit, the 'Red-Robed Attendant'.

"Principal, what brings you here?" the teacher asked with a forced smile. Lu Mingfei looked utterly surprised.

What did this magical elf do? Why is the teacher so respectful in addressing her as "Principal" after seeing her? When did she become a principal?

Oh, she was in the principal's office yesterday—so she had already become the new principal of Shilan Middle School at that time?

Even if Shih Lan Secondary School is a new-era school and a private one, and the election of a principal does not require any public referendum or education bureau approval, it is still too efficient to change a principal in less than a day.

Why wasn't this efficient when dealing with his original problem?

—No, actually, the efficiency is quite high. It's just that the efficiency is low in finding the root cause of the problem, but high in dealing with this "secret security threat"...

Lu Mingfei slightly pursed his lips and raised his hand to punch the 'red-robed monk' twice. His fists struck her groin, delivering the expected, steel-like hardness.

"What are you doing here?"
