Once the affection level is maxed out, the rivalry begins!

After resolving the [Reincarnation Infection Disease], Bai Ze lived a fulfilling and stable life for a period of time.

During the day, she goes to school with Lin Tingwan. After school, she occasionally makes excuses to train with Lu Xingyao in combat, and defeats her several times, causing her witch transformation progress to drop from 64% to 59%.

Unfortunately, the victory points did not increase, so it seems that it is impossible to increase the score by cheating.

However, his current combat system is more than sufficient. The potential of the Judgment Blade alone has not yet been fully developed. The Hundred Tales Seal makes up for the lack of control and group output methods, and the Silver Serpent Ring is also quite convenient as a protective and support item.

In short, the two members of the Eternal Serpent have been resting and preparing for any possible anomalies at the Summer Fireworks Festival.

The Bureau of Spirit Disasters has not contacted him again, and Bai Ze even suspects that Rhea may have forgotten their initial exchange.

The daily routine should have continued peacefully until today, when it was suddenly disrupted.

"Are we going to be in charge of the school's public address system?"

In mid-September, in the teachers' office of Dongming International School.

Bai Ze and Lin Tingwan were called here by their homeroom teacher during lunch break and given an inexplicable assigned task.

Since the education reform, Dongming Middle School has offered student club activities every Saturday. However, both of them are students who go home for holidays and have never experienced the so-called vibrant club activities.

Lin Tingwan, in particular, preferred staying at home and playing online games with Bai Ze rather than going to school during the holidays.

As for the school broadcasting, it's even more special. Strictly speaking, it's not a club, but a self-governing organization on campus similar to the student council. They are responsible for the music during breaks, the radio broadcasts after school, and even the announcements during sports meets. So why were they suddenly approached?

"I have no objection!"

Lin Tingwan was in high spirits.

She didn't participate in clubs because they took up precious weekends, but the radio broadcasts every day, which meant she could squeeze out more time to slack off at school—it was an incredibly worthwhile deal.

"Agreeing without even thinking? Are you a creature that survives on spinal cord reflexes?"

On the contrary, Bai Ze sensed the scent of a conspiracy, and his danger perception was activated at full power!

"What's the big deal? Don't you want to slack off with me—I mean, serve our classmates and have a meaningful youth!"

She clenched her fists solemnly, as if she were taking an oath.

The homeroom teacher coughed lightly and said in a gentle tone, "It just so happens that the previous members of the broadcasting department are facing the pressure of college entrance exams and need to find successors. We also conducted research among the students before selecting the most popular members."

"I never expected that someone as low-key as me would still be held in such high regard. There's just no way around it, teacher."

Lin Tingwan unconsciously straightened her thin chest and said, "I originally wanted to suggest that we find someone else, but the public's voice is so loud that it seems I can't refuse."

[Witch Transformation Progress: 31% → 33.5%]

"Haha, Lin is quite witty; he's got the makings of a great radio host."

The prematurely balding homeroom teacher picked up his thermos and took a sip of goji berry water.

"Teacher, your ability to recognize talent is quite impressive!"

"Not at all, you young people are truly the ones who surpass the old..."

"Haha..." "Hehe..."

[Witch Transformation Progress: 33.5% → 34%]

Bai Ze, in a blasphemous act, unleashed his killing intent upon his mentor.

Stop creating more self-affirming demons, you balding teacher tainted by bureaucracy!

The homeroom teacher shivered; even the water in her thermos didn't taste so good anymore.

"So, Bai Ze, what's your opinion?"

Now that things have come to this, he has no reasonable reason to convince Lin Tingwan to refuse, and saying that he sensed a conspiracy and therefore wanted to withdraw is also far-fetched.

"If it's just to try it out, I'm willing to participate."

"Okay! Please fill out the form first, and I'll go and notify the other member to come over."

The homeroom teacher pushed over two sheets of A4 paper and casually adjusted his glasses.

He got up from behind his desk and left, leaving the two of them staring at each other.

"Is there a third member?"

Lin Tingwan tilted her head, her long, shiny black hair casually cascading down. Today, a tuft of unruly hair stood out from the rest, adding to her slightly dazed look.

...Although I'm not exactly lucid most of the time.

"Who could it be? Probably someone in our grade, right?"

She quickly signed the form. "I thought it would be just the two of us, so I could bring my handheld game console and board games to school."

"So you actually agreed to this with that in mind?!"

Bai Ze angrily denounced a leader who showed signs of corruption even before taking office—she had chosen the form for the Minister of Broadcasting.

"It's because you haven't been playing with me lately."

Lin Tingwan started folding the filled-out forms into paper airplanes, "They're being all mysterious over the weekend, I don't know what they're going to do..."

She suddenly became alert: "You went on a date, didn't you? With a girl I don't know."

"really."

[Witch Transformation Progress: 34% → 31%]

Her expression tense for a moment, then she breathed a sigh of relief: "If it were true, you wouldn't admit it; you would definitely choose to lie."

"Why would I lie to my childhood sweetheart about something like this?" Bai Ze complained.

"Are you underestimating childhood sweethearts? Are you underestimating the bond between Yuan Shao and Cao Cao, or Liu Bang and Lu Wan?"

"Judging from these two examples, you actually really dislike me, don't you...?"

He filled out the form and neatly put it back on the table.

"In short, I think it's wrong to define your childhood friend with a narrow perspective!"

The girl held up the folded paper airplane, like a speaker waving a torch of freedom.

"No one has preconceived notions about what childhood friends should be like—in other words, there can be childhood friends who borrow money and don't pay it back but then go out and eat it all, there can be childhood friends who can boss their childhood friends around, and there can be childhood friends whose orders cannot be disobeyed!"

This was entirely due to her own overflowing desires.

Bai Ze watched her crazy actions with cold indifference.

Unable to get a response, Lin Tingwan awkwardly lowered her hand and threw the paper airplane away.

"Excuse me, is this the place? The meeting place for the broadcasting department—"

The tightly closed door was pushed open from the outside, and sunlight, along with shadows, slipped into the room first.

Snapped.

The paper airplane poked the top of the visitor's head and wobbled as it fell.

Lu Xingyao blinked, raised her hand to catch it, unfolded it, and stared at the name on it.

"Oh my, isn't this the senior and that senior whose name I can't remember? Long time no see, I mean the senior."

"You clearly remember what happened last time! And you just looked at the names on the form again!"

Lin Tingwan, showing no respect for her senior, jumped up and pointed at her.

"Sorry, the handwriting is a bit blurry because it was roughly bent... Let me see, Linkou Ri-senpai?"

She rolled up the paper, tapping it against her chest as she spoke with a laugh.

This is definitely retaliation for Lin Tingwan's failure to remember her name last time.

The third member of the broadcasting department—that's her.

Bai Ze had only one thought left in his mind.

Bureau of Spirit Disasters, you schemed against me!
