As the saying goes, never stay with geniuses, as it will only make you seem more foolish.

As Felyn sat doing his test paper, with the top student of Saint Andros Academy and the top student of Lancher Academy on either side of him, he deeply understood the meaning of this sentence.

Fortunately, neither of the two young ladies was the annoying type to point fingers. Both of them silently watched Felyn work, without making a sound.

Viloti was lying on the desk, her long pink hair scattered near Felyn's hand, occasionally brushing against the back of it.

Adeline, on the other hand, was propping her face up with one hand, turned sideways towards Felyn. Her black stockings were almost touching his thigh.

It wasn't until Felyn finished a test paper that he could feel Adeline beside him seemed to have something to say but was too shy to speak.

"Did I get it wrong?" Felyn asked, pointing to the last question.

"Everyone has their own understanding, there's no standard answer," Adeline explained.

So I did get it wrong.

Viloti was clearly not happy with Adeline's answer.

Under Viloti's gaze, Adeline quickly explained, "I'm not like this with other people. I would point out their mistakes without mercy..."

Then Adeline also lay down on the desk, only revealing her somewhat evasive grayish-blue eyes, her voice growing smaller and smaller.

"I'm only like this with Felyn. I don't want to see his disappointed expression..."

Only like this with Felyn.

Viloti stared straight at Adeline.

It's not you, Adeline, who asked you!

How could you say something like that in front of Felyn!

All that explanation before was just a setup, wasn't it? The thing you really wanted to say was "I'm only like this with Felyn"!

Viloti placed her hand on Adeline's forehead.

"What are you doing?" Adeline pushed Viloti's hand away.

"You're sick, Adeline."

"I'm not sick! I was being sincere just now."

"You're sick, Adeline."

"I'm not!"

"You're sick, Adeline."

Viloti repeated this sentence over and over, her eyes dimming considerably.

Felyn could feel the temperature of Viloti's hair rising sharply. If this continued, she might explode from overheating.

Viloti, still unaware that Adeline had made up her mind to pursue Felyn, thought that something had happened between the two of them to make Adeline so proactive.

Viloti's arms moved forward, and she lay down in front of Felyn. Her amber eyes were very close to his.

Her hands gripped her arms tightly, her lips a little pale. "Are you two together already?"

After speaking, Viloti stared intently at Felyn's lips, afraid he would give that answer.

"No," Felyn answered immediately.

Thank goodness.

Viloti slumped down like a kitten about to take a nap, letting out a long sigh of relief.

She had thought Felyn and Adeline had gone to the office to do that kind of thing.

"It's just that I like Felyn, and Felyn doesn't like me yet."

Adeline felt like she had heard herself say this sentence somewhere before.

"Like?!"

This was the first time Viloti had heard Adeline say she liked Felyn.

She wanted to reach out and touch Adeline's forehead again.

"What was our original topic again? Why did we end up talking about this?"

He was a little unaccustomed to this version of Adeline.

In his impression, Adeline was a calm, gentle, and intellectual young lady.

At least, she wasn't someone who would casually say "like."

Was it for his sake that she had taken such a bold step?

Felyn was also very clear that Adeline was not the type to give up after a few words.

Even if he coldly shooed her away, she would only stubbornly hold back her tears, then stand her ground, force a smile, and say, "It's okay, Felyn. If you don't want to see me today, I'll just come back tomorrow."

And then the next day, she would compose herself and come to his side once again.

In a sense, Adeline would be very difficult to handle.

But it wasn't completely unsolvable.

As long as he could endure until the contract ended, as long as he could wait until the school festival was over.

"Miss Daiyi, could it be that you're jealous?"

Bernice closed her umbrella, shaking off the water droplets.

An hour and a half had passed since she had sent the message to Felyn.

"Me, jealous? Why?"

"Hearing that Viloti and Adeline are with Felyn, the thought of something happening between the three of them makes you a little uncomfortable." Bernice followed behind Daiyi, walking towards the School Festival Planning Committee classroom.

"I would only be happier," Daiyi said, shaking her head.

Nothing can defeat Daiyi!

"Even if Felyn gets together with one of them, ends the contract with you, and leaves you completely, you still wouldn't care?"

"Eh?"

"You probably don't want that, do you? At least, you don't want to be separated from Felyn right now."

Bernice had long since noticed that Daiyi's attitude towards Felyn was a bit off.

Pretending to be a couple felt like it was heading in a real direction.

Just a moment ago, they were eating on the other side of Seiva. When she saw it was raining, she remembered Felyn didn't have an umbrella, and came to pick him up without even finishing her meal.

In the end, if you didn't care about someone, who would notice that the person you live with went out without an umbrella?

"Perhaps, but there's no point to such things. I have to leave Siveshus sooner or later, Bernice."

Daiyi's figure looked a little frail in the school corridor, the sound of her high heels echoing down the hall.

"You know Felyn can save you, right?" Bernice's words from behind made Daiyi stop in her tracks.

"That's just speculation."

"But isn't there always a possibility that speculation can come true?"

Bernice was talking about Dorothy's plan.

To win over the Demon King's daughter, Eitani, thereby making the other divine churches wary of the Demon King's power and afraid to launch a war against the Siveshus Empire.

Although it couldn't completely eliminate the divine churchs' intention to attack the Siveshus Empire, it would postpone the war for at least ten years.

And ten years was enough time for the Church of Truth to find a new Divine Child.

"You actually believe in your heart that Felyn will definitely succeed, right?"

Daiyi nodded, leaning against the wall and gazing at the night rain outside the window.

Perhaps it was a woman's sixth sense, but she believed Felyn would definitely succeed.

"Then why don't you let Felyn carry out that plan?"

"It's too dangerous. The other party is the Demon King's daughter, after all. And besides, Felyn has no obligation to risk his future and destiny for me."

"After you get together with him, I think he would definitely try to win over the Demon King's daughter to save you."

"After becoming lovers, you have to date and sleep with another girl to save your partner? I quite like that stimulating and immoral plot," Daiyi said, brushing off the topic.

The two arrived at the classroom door.

The lights in the classroom were off. Bernice lit up the room with an illumination sigil.

A large patch of shadows appeared on the wall, their shapes indistinguishable.

"Hmph, it seems we're a step too late. There's no room for you next to Felyn anymore."

Felyn was asleep, slumped over the desk.

He got drowsy whenever he did test papers, which was perfectly reasonable.

But there were many unreasonable things about this scene.

Miss Viloti was lying on Felyn's lap, her long pink hair covering her face.

Adeline was not lying on Felyn's lap, because there was no room.

She sat on the floor with her arms wrapped around her knees, her back leaning against Felyn's chair.

The two absolutely beautiful girls were asleep beside Felyn. The scene was unusually peaceful and harmonious, like a carefully crafted work of art.

After Felyn fell asleep, the two young ladies who were close to him were gradually influenced by him and fell asleep by his side.

Felyn now felt the illumination sigil released by Bernice. Still half-asleep, he thought he was already back home.

He felt a light breathing sensation on his thigh, something seemingly very soft.

It must be Hermi.

Felyn reached out and slowly stroked Viloti's head.

Viloti's brow gradually relaxed, and just like Hermi, she would occasionally rub her head against Felyn.

But as he continued to stroke, the young lady with her eyes closed, whether intentionally or not, moved her head to Felyn's side.

This way, Felyn's hand landed on her face.

Feeling the young man's hand gently caressing her face, a smile appeared on Viloti's lips.
