(From here on out, I will release 1 extra chapter if I receive 10 new reviews and 100 Power Stones.)
Early in the morning, the air still carried a hint of chill, even though the sunlight spilled from the horizon, illuminating the streets; the temperature remained a bit low. It was now considered late autumn, and soon winter would arrive. At this time, the students of Butei High had already donned their winter uniforms, giving the campus a new and slightly refreshing appearance.
However, the freshness was not limited to the environment but also extended to the new faces among the students. After one year, Butei High welcomed another new semester, with many new students joining, adding a touch of novelty to the school. Undoubtedly, like in the past, the new students who had struggled to enter due to the entrance exams would likely experience a challenging day.
Especially in the Assault Department, if the entrance exams were still as brutal as a year ago, with students from the same department fighting each other, it would undoubtedly be a nightmare for some.
However, all this didn't concern Fang Li, who had advanced to the second grade.
At least, the situation where several new students achieved S-Rank ratings in the entrance exams, just like a year ago, would not happen again, right?
Moreover, despite there being no entrance exams, today was the opening ceremony. So, Fang Li had nothing to do with the affairs of the new students this time.
Considering this, Fang Li was sleeping soundly in his dormitory.
Suddenly, a buzzing sound interrupted his dreams, causing his groggy mind to start waking up. He opened his eyes and immediately saw his cell phone vibrating on the bedside table.
"An SMS?"
Yawning, Fang Li pushed aside the covers, reached for his cell phone, and checked it.
As he had expected, it was an SMS that woke him up. And the sender's name was not unfamiliar to Fang Li. With a helpless smile on his face, he got up and went to the window, pulling back the curtains to look outside at the street below.
There, standing gracefully, was a girl in a school uniform, her lustrous long straight hair dancing in the wind, radiating beauty.
Other than Hotogi Shirayuki, who else could it be?
"Ah…"
Perhaps noticing Fang Li appearing at the window, Hotogi Shirayuki turned her head and met his gaze and a dazzling smile bloomed on her exquisitely charming face.
That smile was both beautiful and gentle, enough to intoxicate any man. Hence, even Fang Li couldn't help but smile slightly. He made a "Wait a minute" gesture and began to get ready.
…
Ten minutes later, Fang Li finished his morning routine and came out of the dormitory.
"Sorry, Shirayuki," Fang Li said, coming up to Hotogi Shirayuki. "I made you wait."
"No worries," Hotogi Shirayuki shook her head and said softly, "You've never been late before, always punctual, because I come here every morning to wait for you and send you an SMS to wake you up on time."
"That's because of your help," Fang Li scratched his cheek and replied, "Otherwise, I wouldn't have the confidence to wake up early."
"Is that so?" Hotogi Shirayuki blushed slightly, looking both shy and happy. "As long as I can be of help to you."
And so, Fang Li and Hotogi Shirayuki chatted in front of the dormitory.
Their natural and seamless conversation, along with the comfortable atmosphere, showed others that their relationship had made significant progress compared to before. However, it was not difficult to understand why.
A year had passed since the time they had met in the forest and both Fang Li and Hotogi Shirayuki had advanced to the Second Grade; they were no longer the new students.
In this year, their relationship had advanced by leaps and bounds. To help this Ojou-Sama, who had been confined more than a deep recluse and knew nothing about the outside world, adapt to campus life, Fang Li often took Hotogi Shirayuki around the school.
After all, back then, Fang Li was new to this world too, and had a fresh perspective on many things. Naturally, he roamed around to familiarize himself with the environment and occasionally thought of bringing along this lovely and pleasant girl.
Over time, Fang Li and Hotogi Shirayuki's relationship naturally improved, and they even started calling each other by their first names. Starting from the second semester of their first year, they would often go to school together like this.
As a result, Hotogi Shirayuki had shed her timid and cautious demeanor from before, while Fang Li was not one to be overly concerned about trivial matters. To others, their interactions seemed just like that of neighbors who had known each other since childhood.
"It's about time," Fang Li glanced at the time displayed on his cell phone's interface and said to Hotogi Shirayuki, "Let's go to school."
"Sure," Hotogi Shirayuki nodded and reminded him, sounding somewhat concerned, "Li-Kun, do you have your pistol with you? You didn't forget it in the dormitory, did you?"
Fang Li smiled faintly and, with a flick of his hand, a Glock series pistol appeared, beautifully spinning between his fingers, and then suddenly disappeared.
This scene made Hotogi Shirayuki clap her hands together in admiration. "Li-kun, your technique is still as impressive as before, like Magecraft, one can't tell when you draw your gun or when you put it away, or even where the gun is. It's amazing."
Hearing this, Fang Li shrugged and said, "It's just some little tricks, don't pay too much attention to it."
For Fang Li, these were indeed just little tricks because he could easily summon and return the Glock from the Black Ring's space. However, over the year, this skill had earned him quite a reputation. During Butei's activities, his opponents often couldn't tell when he drew or fired his gun, and they were left bewildered, leading to their defeat and making them a loser in Fang Li's hands.
Thus, over time, Fang Li had earned the title of "Gun Magician" in the world of Butei. Combined with being an S-Rank Butei, even as a mere student, he was quite well-known.
Unfortunately, nobody knew that Fang Li's gun techniques were just a little glimpse of his true strength, and the real power he possessed had not yet been revealed.
…
Regardless of the country, opening ceremonies were always boring events.
However, this year, Shirayuki had become the Student Council President of Butei High and needed to give a speech on stage. As her only friend at Butei High, Fang Li naturally had to show his support.
So, as they arrived at Butei High, they continued chatting while making their way towards the gymnasium.
Just then, a voice called out to Fang Li, "Hey, if it isn't Fang Li-San?"
