A little girl at a magic school, she's a goofy troublemaker who can do anything.

As the competition ended, the dismantled magic barrier shattered like countless falling meteors and diamonds, and colorful fireworks rained down from the broken ceiling above.

The nine students standing on the stage were the focus of the entire audience. Amidst the enthusiastic cheers, perhaps a spirited and passionate shout would have made the already heated atmosphere even more intense.

But they were all exhausted and couldn't shout anymore.

"We won, but I'm so tired," Mu Feng said wearily, looking at the packed audience. "Li Wenyin, next time, think of a plan that's easier for both of us."

"Ugh, my head hurts so much," Li Wenyin said, still feeling dizzy as Yu Zhiyuan helped her over. "I feel like I've exhausted my magic again."

Mu Feng: "You've not only overdrawn your magic power, you've also exhausted yourself. You're really pushing yourself to the limit."

He glanced with slight regret at the cheering crowd below the stage.

"What a pity. If I still had any strength left, I would have jumped up and waved to them. I can't imagine how handsome I would have been."

"You're talking so much nonsense now, it doesn't seem like you're completely boring."

Pei Yuan made a comment, then reached out and touched the forehead of the whimpering Li Wenyin. It was slightly warm, a fever caused by the depletion of magic power.

Qin Guanyu smiled and tried to persuade him, "It's okay, we can go back and rest before celebrating."

Seeing that Li Wenyin's condition was not good, Mu Feng also felt quite bad himself and nodded in agreement.

"Alright, let's go."

Li Wenyin leaned against Yu Zhiyuan, feeling dizzy and incoherent, muttering, "Hey, General... hey, I'm awake... hehehe, I won..."

"...Let's hurry back, she's started talking in her sleep."

The five boys, who had just won the game with all their might, gathered together, supporting each other. They were all exhausted, but still had the energy to bicker and argue. Amidst the enthusiastic cheers of the crowd, with their backs to the starlight scattered across the field, they swayed and staggered back in their own directions.

-

On the other side, Su Jinshi draped an outer garment over Zi Sangtang's shoulders and said apologetically, "I'm sorry, Miss, it was our carelessness."

Zi Sangtang glanced back at her, and without saying a word, pulled her over and tucked her into her clothes.

She also pulled Zhu Qing, who was silent beside her, over and linked arms with her on both sides.

Su Jinshi was startled by her actions and waved his hands, trying to back away: "Miss, it's not appropriate to do this in front of so many people."

"Why?" Zi Sangtang stared at her, "Do you despise me?"

"!!!" Su Jinshi's pupils dilated. "That's not what I meant. What I meant was..."

"Hmph, excuses," Zi Sangtang snorted lightly, starting to act unreasonably. "All those high-sounding reasons you give are just because you look down on me, right?"

Su Jinshi was speechless. She was wronged, truly wronged. How could she? How dare she? How could she bear to do it?

Zi Sangtang: "Where's A-Liu?"

"He's over there." Zhu Qing turned her gaze.

Zi Sangtang looked over and saw Xie Liu, that idiot, standing a million miles away from them, looking lost and dejected, holding his sword with both hands, head down, staring at his toes.

Without even asking, it was clear that Xie Liu felt it was all his fault for not being able to overcome all obstacles and win for Zi Sangtang, so he felt he had no face to see her.

Zi Sangtang took the initiative to walk towards him.

Sensing her approach, Xie Liu didn't even look up, and said hesitantly, "Miss, I...feel disgusted, please...don't come any closer."

"Hmm?" Zi Sangtang looked him up and down.

Xie Liu was just caught by a magical plant called the Big Mouth Flower by Li Wenyin. It chewed on his mouth for a long time. Although he quickly drew his sword and slashed it away, he was still covered in the Big Mouth Flower's saliva.

He probably meant it as disgusting.

But Zisangtang didn't care.

She said, "What? You think I'm disgusting and want me to stay away from you?"

"???" Xie Liu looked up in shock, hurriedly explaining, "No, it's... I... I felt disgusted, no, Miss!"

"What?" Zi Sangtang looked hurt. "You're saying I'm disgusting and don't deserve to be your mistress?"

Xie Liu: "???"

He hurriedly put away the magic weapon, gesturing wildly with his hands as he tried desperately to explain, his lips trembling with anxiety.

"No, you, esteemed lady, I, disgusting, very dirty, please don't think that way..."

I was so anxious, I almost made a rap out of my frustration for the stutterer.

"Since you don't dislike me," Zi Sangtang smiled, "then prove it."

Xie Liu stared at her blankly: "How, prove it?"

"Come with us," Zi Sangtang reached out her hand to him, "Stand with me."

As she spoke, she paused to think, "I envy Li Wenyin being surrounded by people as she left the stage. You're avoiding me like this? What, am I not worthy just because I lost?"

"No, miss, it's me."

Xie Liu couldn't explain clearly, and in her haste, she only got halfway through her sentence before meeting Zi Sangtang's smiling eyes.

"Miss, you're mocking me."

Zi Sangtang denied it: "I didn't." After she finished speaking, she took Xie Liu's hand and walked away with him. If Xie Liu dared to object, Zi Sangtang asked him if he disliked her.

He was speechless, his mind blank, and he was at a loss for words.

Li Wenyin is absolutely right, it is really fun to bully the little stutterer.

Back at the hotel, Su Jinshi and Zhu Qing were brought along. Zhu Qing asked helplessly, "Miss, how did you suddenly learn this trick?"

Zi Sangtang answered frankly, "It was taught by Li Wenyin."

Just now, during the final confrontation between Li Wenyin and Zi Sangtang, Li Wenyin revealed her unique skill to her.

--shameless.

Being shameless, ignoring everything, pretending to be blind and deaf, and only listening to what you want can often solve many seemingly complex social problems.

Be more spontaneous, less formal, more open, and carefree without worrying about the consequences.

"It's Li Wenyin again." Xie Liu gritted her teeth.

Zi Sangtang glared at him: "You're not allowed to make things difficult for her."

Xie Liu: "..."

He's just... he's just a stutterer, and he hasn't done or said anything yet.

-

At the entrance of the student union building.

"Little junior, please take good care of yourself this time."

He flicked his handkerchief.

"Don't worry, seniors, I won't let you down."

A determined look in his eyes.

"Remember to eat when you're hungry, and cover yourself when you're cold. Don't make yourself suffer, or we'll be sad."

A look of hardship in his eyes.

"Don't worry, senior, I'm a mature adult now."

Turn around resolutely.

"..." Pei Yuan's eyelids twitched. "Have you had enough of this acting? All she did was put her in solitary confinement."

Mu Feng and Li Wenyin, who were engrossed in their performance, returned to normal.

It was evening, and the kind-hearted student council allowed Li Wenyin to rest after the competition before fulfilling their promise to put her in the solitary confinement room that had been decided before the competition.

Mu Feng and Pei Yuan came to see her off, and they also brought along a little wooden dog that had nothing to do.

"Strange, logically speaking, I've been standing at the building entrance for so long, someone should have come out and taken me inside by now, why hasn't anyone come to help me yet?" Li Wenyin looked inward from the outside with a puzzled expression.

"Yes," Mu Feng said, also a little surprised, "You changed Li Wenyin's sentence?"

Li Wenyin shook her head: "No one notified me."

Besides, she didn't do anything that could atone for her mistakes.

Mu remained silent, gazing thoughtfully at the members hurrying to and fro inside the student council building.

Growing increasingly impatient, Li Wenyin stopped a student council member.

"Excuse me, may I ask...?"

The student council member, who seemed to be in a hurry, adjusted his glasses and gave her a scrutinizing look: "Li Wenyin, right? Your detention isn't urgent, go wait in the lobby first."

He pointed to the inside of the student union building and then made a move to leave.

"That's not right," Li Wenyin said, puzzled, and stopped him again. "I made the reservation a day in advance."

Mu Feng: "?"

What are you saying?

"Wait if you can, otherwise don't close it and leave quickly, there are a lot of people in line," the student council member with glasses waved and urged them on. "Or you can just leave without closing it, don't stop me, I have things to do."

After saying that, he left in a great hurry.

Not only him, but none of the other student council members hurrying around in the building stopped to give them a second glance.

It seems no one cares.

"Huh?" Mu Feng was genuinely surprised. "Is solitary confinement some kind of hot commodity now? Why are there still queues?"

Li Wenyin was also puzzled. She tilted her head, completely baffled.

Pei Yuan said, "Since he's said that, Li Wenyin, let's go."

"No, I'm so curious about what happened," Li Wenyin insisted. "I have to go in and see."

"?" Pei Yuan asked in confusion, "Li Wenyin?"

She went inside.

Mu stayed where she was for a while, thinking, before running inside as well.

The two people, one big and one small, squeezed into the crowd in the student council lobby on the first floor.

"Seriously?" Mu Feng, who was still at the door, pointed in the direction they left. "Pei Yuan, weren't you going to stop them?"

"Let them be," Pei Yuan said. "Nothing will happen in the student council building."

-

Li Wenyin could be considered a VIP in the solitary confinement cell. She was very familiar with the layout of the student building, especially the solitary confinement cell, as if she were at home.

In her memory, not many people were locked in the student council's detention room every day. Li Wenyin had been treated to a luxurious single room several times.

I have never heard of solitary confinement cells being overcrowded, requiring appointments and waiting lists to be detained.

What happened in just a day and a half?

Just as Li Wenyin was looking around, a small hand grabbed the hem of her clothes.

"Senior," Mu raised her head again, looking up, "look over there."

Li Wenyin followed his gaze.

At the railing of the third-floor corridor, Li Wenyin saw four or five student council members in pure white school uniforms surrounding two boys in light blue school uniforms.

One of them, Li Wenyin, sounded familiar; he was none other than Nangong, a senior in the third year.

Another one...

Li Wenyin looked closely.

Another boy from Canghai Academy had a calm expression, seemingly unmoved by the admonitions and questions from the student council members surrounding him. He casually glanced at the paintings on the wall.

His hands were handcuffed together, bound by the same silver restraint handcuffs that Nangong Zhi had used.

"Huh?" Li Wenyin recognized the student from Canghai Academy. "Ruiyuan?"

Li Wenyin had already gotten to know two of the four first-year flag bearers representing the four colleges through the college competition. She wondered if she would get to know the last flag bearer from Canghai College, and in what way.

I never expected to see him under such circumstances.

Ruiyuan's hands were handcuffed, and the student council members surrounding him all looked very serious, watching his movements, and even seemed to reprimand him.

Ruiyuan ignored it as if it were nothing, wearing a pair of very thin glasses on his face, and casually glanced at the students below the corridor.

Li Wenyin caught that glance.

Dark, damp, and decaying like withered wood left in a corner for a long time, turning into dust, yet it also exudes a sense of indifference.

It's a look that shows no sign of life.

Li Wenyin didn't like this kind of gaze; it made her feel uncomfortable.

Mu You: "She has quite a temper."

"Weirdo," Li Wenyin clicked her tongue, then reluctantly withdrew her gaze. "Youyou, do you think the current chaos in the student council is related to Ruiyuan?"

"Most likely," Mu then asked, "Senior, do you still remember those handcuffs?"

Li Wenyin: "Of course I remember. I was handcuffed not long ago. Senior Nangong's handcuffs are always used on extremely vicious students."

"Senior, please look in the direction they are facing," Mu pointed again.

Li Wenyin looked closely and saw that the direction that the student council members, led by Nangong Zhi, were taking Ruiyuan to was at the end of the third-floor corridor, to a hidden and inconspicuous room.

"What place is that?"

Muyou: "The torture chamber."

"A torture chamber?" Li Wenyin exclaimed in surprise. "The student council has a place like this? To torture students?"

This made Li Wenyin cower in fear. No way, if she had known the student council had such a place, she wouldn't have broken the school rules. What if she was taken to the interrogation room one day?

"No, it's not usually used to interrogate students," Mu continued to explain, "but rather wild beasts, animals with intelligence close to humans, capable of simple communication, and capable of committing serious acts that endanger the lives of students, such as monsters... Senior, please don't look at me like that, my family told me this."

Li Wenyin withdrew her suspicious gaze.

She wondered, "Then why did they take Ruiyuan to the torture chamber?"

"However, although it is generally used to torture wild animals, it is also used for certain special students in some special circumstances," Mu said, "but such cases are rare."

"What kind of special situation is that?" Li Wenyin asked.

Mu looked up at her again.

"Three categories."

Li Wenyin: "Three categories?"

Mu then held up three fingers and gave examples one by one:

"Category 1: Murderers."

"The second category is student criminals who have been tainted by dark magic."

"The third category is an unknown quantity, and it's unclear whether it's still considered 'human' at present."
