No health bar? You call this stunningly beautiful NPC sickly?

The principal respectfully handed over the roster: "Your Majesty, the list of outstanding classes has been prepared. According to school regulations, the lagging classes will be deprived of dinner tonight, stripped of their prestige, and will be subject to the same disciplinary action for failing students..."

Mu Zhixi coldly glanced at the densely packed bloody disposal plans behind the list, then snapped the booklet shut.

"You call this education?"

The principal paused, and the faces on the wall behind him showed expressions of terror: "Your Majesty, this is a necessary way for Faceless No. 1 High School to maintain order. Without severe punishment, the students will not improve..."

"Won't it improve?"

Mu Zhixi laughed in exasperation; the blood pressure she had accumulated from watching the news by her bedside in her previous life suddenly spiked.

"Your words and actions give me reason to suspect that you are a bad guy who has infiltrated the ranks of the masses! A traitor! A spy! An ambitious schemer! A revisionist tyrant!"

This barrage of attacks completely stunned the A-level anomaly.

The faces on the wall immediately erupted in wailing.

The older generation's fighting style mainly relied on a lack of awareness of the dangers and a disregard for martial ethics.

The principal broke out in a cold sweat, his legs trembling: "Your Majesty, I... I was just following the rules."

"Follow the rules?" Mu Zhixi sneered. "Then you're just being conservative! Sticking to old ways! Lacking a broad perspective! Content with the status quo! And you're even offering material incentives!"

The principal was completely speechless.

"Your Majesty's reprimand is well-deserved." A moment later, the principal actually bent down, seemingly satisfied with the scolding.

Instead of being angry, he was delighted and bowed deeply, saying, "It has been many years since I have heard Your Majesty's holy words. Today, to receive Your Majesty's personal criticism and correction is a great honor for me!!"

Mu Zhixi: "?"

She was originally planning to output two more segments.

It's not very satisfying when the other party admits their mistake immediately.

This bizarre method of education is truly intriguing. How can someone enjoy this? They're incredibly naive!

That makes sense, though.

They're believers, after all. If they get scolded a couple of times, they might even feel like they're being blessed.

Just then, there was a knock on the principal's office door.

Several faceless grade-level directors, exuding menacing aura, escorted five students in. Two of them were Cheng Xiaocheng and the headless inspector.

"Principal, we've caught several new students who violated exam rules and damaged school property!"

Cheng Xiaocheng, who was pinned to the ground, was completely bewildered. But when she managed to lift her head, she was instantly stunned.

What did she see?!

The pretty young woman who used to trim leaves for health purposes downstairs is now sitting in the main seat in the principal's office.

The terrifying A-rank boss marked with a deep red-purple color on the panel seemed to be standing trembling beside her.

Only one sentence remained in Cheng Xiaocheng's mind: The light of righteousness shines upon the earth.

The inspector next to him was even more ashen-faced, his mind replaying Zhou Xiang's words: "Rules also depend on the person you're dealing with."

"Wait a minute," Mu Zhixi said calmly.

The principal immediately turned around, bowed, and awaited orders: "Your Majesty?"

Mu Zhixi stood up and walked to the trembling players; she still had to put on a show of politeness.

The beautiful woman, her face covered with white feathers, was divine and compassionate. "The way to learn lies in a balance of leniency and strictness."

"An exam paper is just a few sheets of white paper. If the pen nib breaks, you can just replace it with another one."

She turned to face the group of terrifying, faceless faculty members, her tone leaving no room for argument: "Release them."

The faceless chiefs all shuddered and nodded repeatedly: "Your Majesty is merciful! Your Majesty is right! Release them! Release them immediately!"

The players regained their freedom and escaped death. When they looked at Mu Zhixi again, their eyes were filled with admiration, but most of them were still grateful to have survived the ordeal.

In this four-star dungeon where even breathing can trigger death, there is actually an supreme being who can make an A-rank monster bow down with just one sentence, and is even willing to stand up for them and preach great principles!

Cheng Xiaocheng's eyes reddened; the big boss was still too kind!

Mu Zhixi didn't plan to let these players stay here for long, as it would easily expose their secret.

"I don't want to see this kind of overstepping punishment happen again. Take them away."

The grade head immediately obeyed and led the group of players out.

The door was closed.

Only Principal Zhou Decai and Mu Zhixi remained in the office.

Mu Zhixi raised her hand and rubbed her temples. After venting her anger, reason returned to her.

Ultimately, the faceless principal is just a high-level worker, and the educational rules were set by the main system of the instance.

Expecting a few words to change a four-star dungeon into a moral education base is clearly unrealistic. Why should a working-class person make things difficult for another working-class person?

"That's enough."

Mu Zhixi's tone softened as she brushed the roster on the table: "You do things your way, I won't interfere too much. But if I'm to move among them, I need a legitimate position."

The principal raised his face, which had no features, but bent his body even lower.

"If Your Majesty does not mind, the position of school chaplain has been vacant for a long time. You can be responsible for teaching students psychological counseling, with the highest priority and unimpeded access to all areas."

"As for that cushy job of caring for plants, you can keep it as a pastime."

She is very sensible.

Mu Zhixi nodded in agreement. With the identity issue resolved, at least she wouldn't have to suffer among the students anymore.

The perspective shifts to the corridor of the teaching building.

The few players who had narrowly escaped death leaned against the wall, panting heavily.

Cheng Xiaocheng wiped away a bead of cold sweat, her excitement barely concealed: "Brother Gu, her legs are too thick! She was just cutting leaves downstairs, and then she turned around and was sitting in the principal's office giving a lecture. What level do you think she is?"

Gu Wenzhou leaned against the window, his gaze falling on the sapling on the playground that had regained its vitality.

"It's hard to judge." He mentally probed the old man, "Any new insights?"

The old man withdrew his gaze, his rough voice unusually serious: "Kid, be prepared. This guy's status is probably ridiculously high."

"Back then, in order to save you, I broke free from my original form and merged with you, making it impossible to distinguish whether the other was a human or a ghost."

"But I'd bet my two hundred years of cultivation that if she were alive, she'd be at the very top of your ranks!"

The old ghost pondered for a moment: "Look at her golden hair and white feathers, and that aura. She must be at least an A-grade or higher set of magical artifacts."

Gu Wenzhou did not respond.

It's true that the old man is a bit of a daydreamer, but his intuition about danger has never been wrong.

The inspector next to him, who had almost had his tongue ripped out, was still recovering from his near-death experience, and now that he had escaped unscathed, he started talking nonsense again.

"Damn it, none of these NPCs are any good! They have no noses or faces, and they're ugly and deformed!"

Very light footsteps came from around the corner of the corridor.

Mu Zhixi, carrying her newly issued school chaplain appointment letter, happened to pass by this group of people.

Who are you calling ugly? Are all NPCs ugly?

Mu Zhixi: ⚆_⚆? I see you stepped in with your left foot first today, which is a death wish!
