I adopted a child demon from the Gap, and I'm a special agent for the Bureau of Supernatural Ab

tide was somewhat dissatisfied.

Extremely dissatisfied.

She looked ahead and saw a man and a woman standing facing each other on a quiet path on campus, their faces showing resentment and helplessness.

"How annoying!"

Enraged, she kicked the nearby flowerbed hard, striking the concrete outer wall. The kick seemed to ripple across water; the entire flowerbed wall immediately began to blur, the blur spreading outwards. Realizing something was wrong, Xi quickly stopped, releasing the power of her cultivation realm from her hands to repair the spreading blur, restoring the flowerbed to its original state.

Although she was very angry, she still had to maintain the current dream; if something went wrong, even she would be in a very difficult position.

After all, she wasn't some strange monster with extra eyes who was born with powerful abilities to manipulate soul consciousness. In order to completely expel the intruder from Li Cheng's consciousness, this dream world constructed from memories was still very necessary.

But, as expected...

I'm still so angry!

……

The boy was somewhat surprised, or rather, quite surprised.

Last week, instructors and teachers announced to all students that a group of people with superpowers and magicians would be entering the Martial Arts Academy, while a group of martial artists would be sent out for a month-long exchange program to experience the completely different learning and living environments of each other.

For a young man who was obsessed with martial arts and physical training, this kind of activity had no enthusiasm whatsoever. In his opinion, this kind of interaction was of no value to him, who had no talent other than martial arts, so he did not sign up and continued to train on his own.

But when the interaction actually began, he didn't expect to meet someone completely unexpected.

At this moment, looking at the graceful young girl standing before him, he felt his throat dry and hoarse, completely at a loss for words.

"So, you really are the one who always followed me around when I was little, that... Er Gou?"

"Although I have indeed carried this nickname given to me by my grandmother for a long time, it is still too much for a lady like me to say it so directly."

The girl sighed helplessly, then smiled, stepped back slightly, and curtsied.

"Well then, let's be a little more formal. Ye Jia, a mage of the Earth and Rock element, it's a pleasure to meet you. And you're from the Martial Arts element—senior, oh!"

I can't believe it, I absolutely can't believe it.

The memories of childhood return to one's own childhood, to that carefree rural childhood, to oneself running in the fields, and to the snotty little follower who always followed behind.

He—no, she—she's a woman?!

What kind of talk is that? Isn't the word "she" originally a term for women?

Ugh, no, this isn't the time to nitpick over grammatical errors. What am I even thinking?

Completely bewildered by this unexpected reunion, the confused boy had no idea how he should react.

The boy's former follower from the same village, now a student a year below him, had become a completely different person, which was a huge shock to the boy.

Not to mention, the girl's temperament and appearance were quite outstanding, even in the boy's eyes.

And needless to say, the girl seemed quite close to the boy, and would find opportunities to get close to him from time to time every day, whether in class, training or many other times in life.

The boy was quite troubled by this. If it were an ordinary girl, he could simply refuse and leave with a cold expression, without worrying about being harassed. However, due to their childhood interactions and the girl's inherent qualities, he found it difficult to refuse her request, and their time together gradually continued.

"But you're really something to have made it all the way here."

At lunchtime, sitting on the edge of the rooftop, the boy felt the breeze on his face and sighed as he watched the girl quietly eating her bread beside him.

"You are the most remarkable one. The cultivation of martial arts is an extremely painful process. You have reached A-level in such a short time. The pain and perseverance in this process are what truly deserve our admiration."

The girl shook her head at the boy's words and said softly.

"I was just very lucky to be able to learn earth magic with the help of relatives and friends, and I also studied very hard. Even so, I am only a mid-level B-rank magician now. You are the number one in the whole school. Even the senior students and some teachers can't beat you. That's really amazing."

"In short, I really admire you, Senior Cheng."

"Is...is that so..."

Even though he had heard the praise many times before, for some reason, when the girl said it so jokingly, the boy felt a slight warmth on his cheeks and a vague, fluttering sensation.

"Speaking of which, Cheng, you must have come to this place with some kind of goal in mind, right?"

After sitting quietly for a while, the girl suddenly turned her head and asked.

“Ah, yes, I want to join the Special Science Department,” the boy replied solemnly. “Although my mentor has already confirmed that I am absolutely capable of entering, I want to become as strong as possible before graduating and taking the entrance exam. I want to be at my strongest when that moment arrives.”

The boy answered with a smile, his eyes sparkling as if they were burning with light.

To prevent tragedies from happening again, to protect the weak, to stop tragedies, and to eradicate evil. Although it may seem naive, this dream has stayed with me since I was a boy, and continues into my teenage years.

"That's really the answer, Cheng. Does this mean you've held onto your old dream until now?"

The girl was slightly taken aback after hearing the boy's answer, then chuckled twice and said...

"That's right, my pursuit has never changed from beginning to end. Speaking of which, I think I mentioned this to you before, which is a bit embarrassing to admit. I looked really silly back then."

"No, I think Cheng is still very handsome."

The girl responded with a smile, which immediately made the boy next to her feel uncomfortable.

"Is that so? Hahaha, hahaha—"

"It's just that your interpersonal skills are terrible. You're like a giant baby who's stayed at home all his life. You need to work on it a lot."

"It's not that serious, is it?"

The boy was both amused and exasperated.

Moreover, compared to improving his strength, he had no interest in the various forms of entertainment that others engaged in. Rather than saying he lacked interpersonal skills, it would be more accurate to say that the boy had completely given up on interacting with other children his age from the very beginning.

For him, talking to and interacting with those people was simply a waste of time.

Apart from the girl in front of me.

"But in that case, we'll have the same goal."

At this moment, the girl suddenly spoke again.

Huh?

The boy was stunned, not understanding what the girl meant.

"Oh dear, don't you remember?"

The girl covered her mouth and chuckled softly.

"Back then, I made a wish with you to join the Special Sciences Department. So, you weren't the only one with this dream!"

His hand was gently grasped and pulled up. The soft, warm touch made the boy almost unable to look the girl in the eye.

"Then let's work hard together. Although there's not much chance of catching up with you, I won't give in easily, senior."

"oh oh……"

Chapter 9, Section 206: A Warm-Colored Dream

"Whoa, whoa, whoa..."

Frowning and trying his best not to show any pain, the boy slowly stood up from the ground, looking at the messy and broken ground in front of him, and several peers lying unconscious on the ground.

"The assessment is over, taking 1 minute and 52 seconds."

After the cold, mechanical prompts, a large door opened at the edge of the venue, and several medical staff rushed in.

"Not bad, you actually managed to defeat five students of the same level in two minutes. Cheng, you've improved again."

The boy's teacher, and also one of the actual leaders of the academy, the Transcendent Ji Wen, walked into the arena through the gate. He looked at the few people who were being carried away from the arena and praised the boy standing in the center of the arena.

"Don't say that, I won with great difficulty too."

The boy smiled and waved, then walked to the edge of the field and sat down.

"Moreover, asking me to deal with five opponents of the same level in one go is a bit too much to ask, isn't it? You know, these people were relentlessly attacking from the very beginning. If it weren't for the restriction on fatal attacks in the arena, I probably wouldn't have even had a chance to counterattack before I was already dead."

"But in reality, this is precisely the situation you need to consider."

Upon hearing the boy's words, Ji Wen suppressed his smile and adopted a serious expression, speaking very earnestly.

“Real enemies don’t reason with you; they will stop at nothing to kill you who opposes them. That’s why you’re being put through this test.”

"I understand, teacher."

The boy answered sincerely.

"However, under normal circumstances, it is unlikely that we would encounter an extreme situation where we have to deal with five or more A-level forces at once. Apart from national governments and some unconventional organizations, there are generally not many A-level combat forces. After all, A-level forces are not as common as cabbages and cannot be found everywhere."

As he spoke, Ji Wen noticed that the boy was still lying on the field, his body slightly hunched over, clearly enduring pain. He smiled and then beckoned the medical staff beside him to examine the boy's injuries.

"How about we get some barbecue together tonight? I know a new barbecue place recently opened on Guangchang Road, and I heard it's pretty good?"

Unlike most serious and rigorous teachers, Ji Wen, being a transcendent being, is more like a senior student outside of class. Perhaps because of his transcendent status, he doesn't value the teacher-student relationship and often goes out to eat and drink with the students he teaches, usually paying for everything.

Therefore, some African students who like to spend money on mobile games to the point of being broke really like this unusual teacher, and even those who are not in the same college will come to get close to him.

"Tonight might not be an option."

After thinking for a moment, the boy spoke somewhat shyly.

"Well, what happened?"

Ji Wen was taken aback, then suddenly realized what was happening.

"What, you've made plans with that little girl?"

"Uh, um..."

The boy's reply was almost silent.

"I won't be like some old-fashioned teachers who forbid students from dating," Ji Wen said calmly, completely disregarding the fact that he was older than everyone else in the school. "Good luck, kid. I won't bother you."

As he spoke, he patted the boy on the shoulder and gave him a thumbs up.

"No, it's not about dating!"

The boy, who still seemed quite naive, blushed at Ji Wen's words and began to stammer out a rebuttal.

"This is, this is, this is just training! That's right, just training! She just asked me to teach her some self-defense tactics, that's all! That's right, just that!"
