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

World Tree Academy is back.

Chen Nian feels a strong sense of belonging to this place.

Tang Rou has joined the medical department and is now a member of the white-clad angels who save lives, but it seems that quite a few lab rats die in her hands every day.

Senior An Qingluo and Lihua are both at the seventh level and went to the advanced department. However, they still often come to the lower-level department cafeteria for meals. Only Chen Nian has the face to have these two goddesses come and eat with him.

dorm room.

Chen Nian opened the door, expecting to see his roommate Hao Jin.

Unexpectedly, on what should have been Hao Jin's bed...

There's a girl lying there!

She was wearing a white off-shoulder T-shirt, lying face down on the bed, her legs were fair and shapely, and her calves were swinging up and down repeatedly.

What's even more shocking is that... she was only wearing pink panties on her lower body, and you could vaguely see the curve of her buttocks.

Chen Nian recognized her at a glance.

That signature pink hair, that sexy image—need I say more...

"Lin Xiaomeng?!"

"Senior Chen Nian, you're back! I missed you so much!"

Lin Xiaomeng rolled over and jumped out of bed, disregarding her revealing clothes, and rushed towards Chen Nian, wanting to hug him.

Chen Nian pinched her nose with one hand to stop her.

"Ah...it hurts...Chen Nian, be gentle...no...ah!"

"Speak like a normal person, what are you doing in my dorm?"

"Now I'm your roommate. Senior Hao Jin has already moved out. Aren't you happy, senior? You can live with a beautiful girl from now on~"

"How could he agree to move out? Old Jin isn't that kind of person without principles."

"Because I switched places with him, he went to live with my 36D roommate."

"That certainly aligns with his principles."

Chen Nian loosened his grip.

Lin Xiaomeng covered her nose, her eyes filled with resentment: "Senior, how could you be so rude to a cute junior? How annoying!"

"Because this suits your image better. You can look in the mirror if you don't believe me."

"Um?"

Lin Xiaomeng went to the mirror and looked at herself.

My nose was red and swollen... I looked exactly like a clown.

"Oh, right, put your pants on."

"Hmph, I'm in my own dorm, I can go without pants if I want, it's none of your business! Unless you sign a contract with me, then I'll listen to you, hehe."

Lin Xiaomeng sat down on the edge of Chen Nian's bed and stretched out her beautiful legs to her heart's content.

"Senior, don't my legs look good?"

"not bad."

"Then why aren't you tempted?"

"I recently saw even more beautiful legs, with beautiful curves, round and elastic, more attractive than your sausage, and the face is prettier than yours."

"Impossible! How could there possibly be such a woman in the world?"

Lin Xiaomeng broke down. Seeing Chen Nian about to leave, she hurriedly chased after him barefoot.

"Where are you going, senior? Wait a minute!"

Chen Nian stood at the door, pressing a finger against Lin Xiaomeng's forehead: "This is the boys' dormitory. Don't wander around without proper clothes on, understand?"

"I understand..."

Lin Xiaomeng nodded obediently.

After Chen Nian left, she chuckled and said, "He's probably jealous because he's afraid I'll be seen by other men when I go out. Hmph... I'll definitely win you over soon!"

.......

"Dean, it's me. I have some questions for you. Is this a convenient time?"

Chen Nian sent a message to the dean in advance and, after receiving confirmation, came to the dean's office in the highest tower of the academy.

He first recounted his experiences on the continent of Kyushu.

"You mean, someone who was originally very weak suddenly became so powerful that it was unreasonable, even exceeding the rules and limitations of this world's plane?"

"That's right, you have some leads on the dean?"

"Based on your description, perhaps the one you encountered was... a guardian of the fourth level of the World Tree."

"A guardian of social classes?"

The dean nodded and said, "The World Tree Academy has been fighting against calamities for many years, and it is not ignorant of them. The World Tree has nine levels, and each level has a guardian. They are the children of the World Tree and are true super-strong beings."

"The fact that 'Calamity' can invade the upper world on such a large scale and possesses power comparable to the World Tree suggests... perhaps the person behind it is also a Guardian of the Upper Realms."

Chen Nian frowned: "You mean, the children of the World Tree are rebelling against the World Tree?"

"During your mission to find Gao Yue, the recorder noted that Gao Yue said this: 'The World Tree is unequal, the gap between the upper and lower worlds is too great, and the Calamity wants to overturn this rule and bring all worlds back to equality.'"

"This shows that the former guardians of the hierarchy were dissatisfied with the rules of the World Tree and wanted to overthrow them and establish new rules."

Chen Nian suddenly realized: "I never expected it to be like this..."

"Don't worry, the power of the level guardians comes from the World Tree and is bound by the rules. They cannot attack ordinary people living normal lives, otherwise they will suffer a backlash."

Indeed, if they could attack ordinary people, that would truly be a case of overwhelming force.

Who can beat them?

"They are like nine chess players, only able to manipulate pieces to play the game. The Primal Demon God is merely a piece they created. You don't need to know too much about these things; your current strength doesn't allow you to know too much."

Chen Nian nodded in realization, "Do the other trainees know about these things?"

"Of course I don't know. I'm telling you because I believe in your future," the dean said with a mysterious smile.

"There's one more thing I'd like to ask the dean."

Chen Nian then revealed the story of Tamamo-no-Mae.

"What you described does indeed exist. The power in the lower world is not as abundant as in the upper world, and cultivation is also limited. Normally, there are only two ways to break through."

"The first option is to rely on the World Tree Academy to seek breakthroughs in higher worlds."

"Secondly, one can break through the barrier and reach a higher level by relying on one's own strength. Not long ago, a reviewer reported that he encountered a one-armed boy who used a knife. He vaguely touched the threshold by relying on his own strength."

"We call these people 'Boundary Breakers,' or 'Domain Rangers,' and they are all top-tier powerhouses."

"Ha ha......"

The image of his first brother-in-law flashed through Chen Nian's mind, and he asked curiously, "Then why wasn't he recruited to the academy?"

"Some people are used to freedom and don't want to be tied to one place; this is true of all the wandering knights of the realm."

"What a pity. If you had mentioned my name to him when you were recruiting him, he definitely would have come."

"No problem. Since you know that person, he might become an asset in the future." The dean laughed heartily.

"Dean Xie, I need to help my friend, so I need to take her to a higher world. I'll need to borrow one of the academy's vehicles."

"Your friend is a demon, so there is a world that would suit her. However, it is located in the third tier. Although there are no calamities, powerful demons roam everywhere, so the danger level is not low."

Chen Nian laughed and said, "I don't care how dangerous it is when I make a promise to someone."

A promise made while touching someone's leg is a promise that cannot be broken.
