Confessing to someone who thinks I'm a fat otaku, and then crying when monsters descend?

After this battle, no one had any objection to Chen Nian's selection.

In terms of ability, he is qualified.

In terms of potential, he was already this amazing when he first enrolled. Who would dare say that he has more potential than him?

The person with the greatest contrast is Ji Yang.

The first time he met Chen Nian was on the basketball court. He had tried to attract An Qingluo's attention by belittling Chen Nian, but now that Chen Nian had defeated Zhou Lang, the contrast was too great and he found it hard to accept.

After the match ended, he sat alone in his chair for a long time without moving.

At this moment, seeing several of his cronies trying to get closer, he couldn't help but call them back.

"Where are you all going?"

"Yang-ge, we want to get to know Chen Nian. He's going to be a big name in our class, maybe he can even mentor us."

"Tsk, is that all the backbone you have?"

"Yang-ge, we haven't been abused by him, so we're not really that angry..."

"Get lost!"

Ji Yang was furious and stormed off.

......

Chen Nian received a message asking him to go to the dean's office.

After dealing with everyone's enthusiasm, he headed towards the tallest tower in the academy.

The tower has eighteen floors, and the dean lives on the top floor, which offers a panoramic view of the entire campus.

Chen Nian took the elevator to the top floor and saw a young woman in her early twenties in the corridor. She was wearing a black and white uniform and was standing timidly at the door of the dean's office, looking down at her shoes.

He looked quite nervous, like a student about to be punished by the teacher.

She didn't even notice Chen Nian's arrival.

He muttered to himself, "Lord Chen Nian, it's...it's our first meeting. My name is...my name is..."

Oh, Chen Nian understands.

She's rehearsing on her own. Many people rehearse in private before important meetings. But why is she calling me by my name?

"Ahem!" Chen Nian coughed.

"ah?!"

The woman immediately turned around and was shocked to see Chen Nian. She quickly bowed and apologized.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry!"

"What are you apologizing for?"

Chen Nian's gaze inadvertently swept over her youthful face and rather ample chest, and he couldn't help but recall a joke.

I also wanted to celebrate Children's Day, but when I looked down, I couldn't find any kids with 36D breasts.

"Because...because I'm talking to myself here, I must seem like a very strange person to others. I'm sorry for the inconvenience..."

"It's nothing," Chen Nian smiled politely.

"Are you here to see the dean? Please come in, I'm waiting for someone outside." The woman stepped aside.

"You're waiting for Chen Nian?"

"Yes, that's right. How did you know?"

"I am Chen Nian."

"what!"

The woman covered her mouth in utter surprise, seemingly startled.

"You...you are Lord Chen Nian? I'm so sorry for my rudeness."

"Nice to meet you, my name is Nanako, I'm your recorder, please...please take good care of me!"

She bowed deeply at a 90-degree angle, and Chen Nian inevitably saw the violent shaking. He thought to himself, "Your self-introduction is acceptable, and your name suits you quite well."

"What is a recorder?"

crunch--

Just then, the office door opened automatically.

Chen Nian immediately understood: "It seems the dean wants us to go in and talk first. Let's go."

He calmly pushed open the door.

Nanako followed Chen Nian timidly, acting as cautiously as a thief.

The door closed automatically as soon as the two entered.

Across from the desk sat an elderly man in a suit and tie.

Although his hair was already gray, he had the air of a naturally handsome old man, with slightly sunken but bright and piercing pupils that were deep and mysterious.

It was as if every wrinkle on his face bore witness to a poignant and moving chapter of history.

"Hello, Dean."

"Hello, Dean!"

In contrast to Chen Nian's calm demeanor, Nanako bowed hastily.

"You're Chen Nian?"

"I heard that the spots were personally selected by the dean. If the dean didn't know me, why would he choose me for the mission?" Chen Nian asked with a smile.

"Well...."

The dean was speechless for a moment.

Nanako looked up at Chen Nian in alarm, thinking to herself, "How dare he be so bold as to speak to the dean like that!"

"Yes, I've been following you for a while now. She's the recorder I chose for you. You probably don't even know what a recorder is yet?"

"Please inform the dean."

"Like the evaluator, the recorder has no combat abilities, only a certain level of self-defense capability, so as not to waste the teleportation array's energy. Her purpose is to follow you to the mission world and record everything that happens to you."

While the dean was speaking, Nanako kept her head down and didn't dare to look the old man in the eye.

It takes immense courage just to look into his eyes.

She raised her head slightly and saw that Chen Nian was staring directly into the dean's eyes, and she couldn't help but admire him...

"To record everything that happens to me?"

"That's right. These records will be stored in the instrument's black box so that if you die over there, the newly sent trainees can know the situation immediately."

Upon hearing this, Nanako trembled.

Chen Nian showed no obvious emotional fluctuations.

"She's coming with me? What if she gets accidentally injured? With her meager self-defense abilities, can you guarantee she'll survive?"

"Does that matter?" the dean asked with a smile.

"Of course it's important."

The dean slowly picked up his teacup and took a sip: "It seems you quite like this recorder?"

Chen Nian looked embarrassed and didn't know how to answer for a moment.

"We've just met, so there's no real connection between us, but she's still one of the trainees, and I'm just concerned about her safety."

Nanako subconsciously raised her eyebrows and secretly glanced at Chen Nian's profile, feeling a touch of emotion in her heart.

"From now on, you'd better give up on this concern. The first rule of the recorder training guidelines is that they are only responsible for recording; they will not interfere in anything, nor are they capable of doing so."

"In other words, even if you die in front of her right now, she will only record the cause of your death and take the information back to the academy, but she will not try to save you."

"Similarly, if she is in any danger, you don't need to intervene. Your only task is to eliminate the source of the calamity and maintain the balance of the world."

Chen Nian glanced at Nanako but did not refute the dean's words.

He naturally understands the reasoning.

"Dean, if that's the case, why not give me a smarter-looking recorder? She seems a bit dull and isn't suitable."

"Huh?!" Nanako exclaimed in surprise, biting her lip and not daring to refute.

"Because the academy doesn't support idlers, and she's the only recorder who has never been on a mission, we rescued her and trained her just for a short-term use."

"If there are no problems, we'll leave tomorrow."

"If there's a problem, the academy will replace him. Zhou Lang is also a good candidate."

Chen Nian shrugged and extended his hand to Nanako: "From now on, we're colleagues. Please take care of me."

Nanako wanted to shake hands with Chen Nian, but she accidentally caught the dean's gaze and was so frightened that she withdrew her hand.

Please give me your guidance.

.......

After Chen Nian came out of the office, he saw Director Liu waiting outside.

"Director Liu, are you here to see the dean too?"

"There was once a student at the academy with extraordinary talent, who was deeply favored by the dean. But he died during a mission. With his abilities, he didn't actually need to die. Do you know why?"

"Because of the recorder?"

"That's right, the dean is doing this for your own good. He specifically called you here to give you these instructions, so remember them."
