Su Wei gently tapped her forehead and said with a word of advice:

"Scores are secondary. When facing high-level monsters, your first priority should be preserving yourselves..."

"After all, each of you alive is a guaranteed 16 S-point entry for the team. If you die, you lose everything."

Listen to Su Wei's instructions.

Hiyori Shiina slowly closed the book in her hands.

Looking up at the half-moon that had already risen behind Su Wei, the soft moonlight shone into her pale purple eyes, making them sparkle.

"Su Wei-jun, you're so gentle..."

"Just like the moon."

Su Wei paused for a moment, then touched his chin with his other hand: "Really?"

Hiyori Shiina gave a soft "hmm":

"It radiates a bright light that is dazzling but not scorching."

Like the moon, though it hangs high in the night sky.

But no matter how dark the world is, it always silently accompanies everyone.

To be honest, it's a bit of a pity.

Why does it belong to everyone?

Volume 1: Chapter 155 The Forgotten Past

After briefly agreeing on the initial direction for subsequent upgrades with Su Wei.

Shiina Hiyori and Karuizawa Kei did not leave immediately, but instead discussed and pondered the methods of cultivating ki for a while longer.

As dusk approached and the early summer breeze carried a hint of cool dampness, the three of them returned to their dormitory together.

After parting ways with Karuizawa Megumi at the entrance of the building, Shiina Hiyori pushed open the door to her single dormitory room.

"Click".

Gently close the door.

The girl leaned against the door and let out a long sigh of relief.

I turned my head and looked at the stacks of new books that were still unopened in the corner.

Normally, she would have eagerly opened the book and enjoyed the unique scent of ink and paper.

But at this moment, Hiyori Shiina was not in the mood for that at all.

She simply leaned against the door, her body seemingly exhausted, slowly sliding down the door frame until she was half-squatting, half-sitting on the ground, hugging her knees with both hands.

'How amazing...'

The girl murmured softly to herself.

It seemed as if they couldn't believe it.

Everything that just happened... was something I was actually capable of doing.

After all, in the girl's mind, she had always been a person who was not good at speaking and was used to hiding behind books.

Knowing that Su Wei and his group had encountered a BOSS with a score of 200 points and had survived by the skin of their teeth, it was already her limit to take the initiative to observe from a distance.

That's right.

Her original plan was simply to use the information she obtained from the senior student at the Kiryuin Academy to take advantage of the school's mobile phone's feature that allowed users to view each other's locations for free after adding each other as friends...

Take a peek from afar at the road that the Soviet Union would inevitably take.

I glanced at him from afar, stealing a glance.

This will confirm his safety and bring me peace of mind, then I can simply leave...

But to everyone's surprise, Su Wei, who was trying to cultivate 'qi', was able to sense it so keenly.

In fact, the panic of being caught red-handed caused her to lose her mind and say some ambiguous things that she shouldn't have said at that moment!

In the end, not knowing how to smooth things over, I could only bite the bullet and give up...

"Waaah..."

The girl buried her face in her knees, reached out and grabbed her hair, silently blaming herself for her impulsiveness and lack of self-control.

After all, in reality, her relationship with Su Wei was far from progressing to the point where they could say such things!

Although it is indeed partly related to the "hero saves the damsel in distress" scenario that Karuizawa Kei speculated about.

But what truly made her admire and even feel a flutter in her heart wasn't that moment.

It all started with a connection formed through an old book called "The Magic Cube Building".

He was the only person in the school who could understand the world in her books.

Then, after being saved by him, I witnessed firsthand the kindness hidden beneath his seemingly cold exterior, and it was through these repeated observations that I was gradually drawn to him.
