Chapter 207: Gu Yue Na: “the Imperial Beast Voluntarily Goes To School.”
“Let me arrange for a child to study at Enthusiasm Research Academy?”
It was now approaching eleven at night, Roman’s desk was full of coffee cans, he drooped his eyes looking at the information sent by Gu Yue Na on the Magic Net.
Although Huo Yuhao had said that he didn’t need to be so rushed, he could reduce his workload a bit and rest well for a while.
But Roman was no longer used to going to bed early, whether it was King Solomon or Roman, they both seemed to always be working madly, and the word rest was a very unfamiliar term for him.
Now suddenly someone told him to rest for a while, which instead made him feel very unaccustomed.
“Let me see what she looks like?”
“Someone whom the Soul Beast Co-lord Silver Dragon King personally messages to arrange enrollment should be very easy to recognize.”
“Which one from the Core Area could it be?”
Roman opened the picture sent by Gu Yue Na, examined it carefully, and his brain quickly compared the various existences in the Star Dou Great Forest Core Area.
Then he straightened his back, feeling very surprised.
“Golden hair, red eyes, Core Area, high status…………”
“This is the Imperial Beast Three-Eyed Golden Lion?!”
“The Star Dou Great Forest Core Area actually dares to let the Imperial Beast out?! Not afraid of encountering some danger?”
“No way! The other party’s identity is special, better to ask the boss first.”
Roman quickly pulled up Huo Yuhao’s contact, his fingers trembling on the Magic Net screen emitting faint fluorescence, skillfully typing out a string of text.
『Most Love Meili Dear』: “Boss! Big news!”
“Miss Gu Yue Na wants to arrange for the Imperial Beast to enter Enthusiasm Research Academy, agree?”
Huo Yuhao was now on the streets of Xilu City preparing to go home to Su Tong when he suddenly saw Roman’s message.
『Level 8 Big Mad Wind』: “Oh?”
“Arranged by Na’er?”
“Looks like the Star Dou Great Forest Core Area has agreed.”
“Then there’s no issue, you handle the arrangement yourself.”
“I have urgent business.”
“One more thing, it’s so late, why haven’t you rested yet? Young man, pay attention to sleep, staying up all night is bad for your skin, be careful of endocrine disorders and hair loss.”
“If you absolutely can’t sleep, open a video, Huo’s Sleep Method, guaranteed to give you baby-like sleep.”
“You’re my top general! Don’t suddenly die.”
“Otherwise, I’d have to think of a way to fish you out of the Underworld.”
『Most Love Meili Dear』: “Boss, is your Huo’s Sleep Method legal?”
“Not Tsukuyomi, right?”
『Level 8 Big Mad Wind』: “…………”
“Just say if it works or not?”
Roman smiled and closed the chat window with Huo Yuhao, he’d rather stay up a bit longer than use Tsukuyomi to induce sleep.
“Sigh, this is throwing a tough problem at me.”
“The Imperial Beast can’t be arranged casually, if something happens to her, it would be a diplomatic incident.”
“Xilu City isn’t prepared to face a beast tide directly.”
“I want to see how to arrange her……..”
Roman stared at the golden-haired girl in the picture, somewhat lost in thought, spinning a pen between his fingers.
“Since she’s come, mathematics definitely can’t be omitted.”
“This is Xilu City’s signature subject, the foundational discipline of soul tools.”
“Forget it, just arrange her directly into the top class at Enthusiasm Research Academy.”
“The learning atmosphere there is good, studying ten hours a day, plus three hours of cultivation training, and the teachers are all very responsible.”
“Moreover, there are a large number of defensive and detection soul tools around, so safety is assured.”
Roman nodded, feeling his arrangement was very good, and immediately contacted Gu Yue Na saying:
“Miss Gu Yue Na, I plan to arrange that child into the top class at Enthusiasm Research Academy.”
“The top class schedule is as follows: Morning: Mathematics, Mathematics, Soul Tool Analysis, Soul Tool Analysis, Afternoon…………”
“What do you think? If there’s no problem, provide me with her name and some age information, and I’ll arrange it for her.”
Gu Yue Na was now propping her cheek, gazing softly at the Three-Eyed Golden Lion devouring food voraciously ahead, Di Tian sitting beside the Imperial Beast drinking tea.
Ever since Chi Wang and Xiong Jun connected with the human world, quite a few novel drinks from the human world had entered the Core Area.
Compared to the cola that most Beast Kings loved to drink, Di Tian still preferred the tea from the human world, not sure if it was because he was getting old, but he had come to like this kind of bitter-yet-sweet thing.
Gu Yue Na received the information sent by Roman, clicked in to take a look, understood the situation, nodded satisfactorily, and thought to herself:
“Roman is someone you can hang out with; he’ll really step up when it matters.”
“I remember the elite class at Enthusiasm Research Academy isn’t easy to get into; countless people break their heads trying but can’t enter.”
“I heard Shrek Academy over there still hopes to send exchange students into the elite class at Enthusiasm Research Academy.”
“By the way, the Imperial Beast doesn’t seem to have her own name yet, right?”
Gu Yue Na released her hand propping up her cheek, her voice lacking its usual aloofness; she really liked this junior Imperial Beast too.
“Little Imperial Beast, which character do you like the most?”
The blonde girl was stunned upon hearing Gu Yue Na’s words; her cheeks puffed up like balloons, stuffed full of food, looking like a starving ghost reincarnated.
She swallowed all the food in her mouth in one gulp, thought for a moment, and said:
“Qiu, I guess.”
“Because I like autumn the most; every autumn the scenery in the Core Area is very beautiful, and those Spirit-type Soul Beasts in the mixed zone all hole up at home—one grab and you’ve got one for sure.”
Understanding dawned in Gu Yue Na’s eyes, and she said to the Imperial Beast:
“Qiu, huh.”
“Don’t you not have your own name yet?”
“How about I give you one?”
“From now on, you’ll take my surname—how about Gu Qiu’er?”
The Three-Eyed Golden Lion’s bright red eyes widened slightly, and a joyful expression appeared on her face as she said:
“Really?”
“Great!”
“From now on, this miss will be called Gu Qiu’er!”
Di Tian sipped his tea on the side, the corners of his mouth curving up slightly; actually, if Gu Yue Na hadn’t named the Imperial Beast today, Di Tian had planned to give her one too.
But since Gu Yue Na had already done it, he didn’t need to bother, and besides, the Imperial Beast seemed to like the name a lot.
Gu Yue Na nodded slightly, then opened the Magic Net and sent a message to Roman in front of Gu Qiu’er.
『Gu Yue』: “Name is Gu Qiu’er, age 15, lives in Star Dou Great Forest, one of my family members.”
“Need any more specific information?”
Roman, far away in the Enthusiasm Building, looked at the message and smiled helplessly; actually, just a name was enough— he’d make up the detailed info later anyway.
『Biggest Meili Fan』: “All good. Is she next to you?”
“Sending the document your way; have her sign it herself, and she can start school in Xilu City the day after tomorrow.”
“《Education and Training Voluntary Principles Document》”
Gu Yue Na opened the document; it was very long, and she was too lazy to read it, so she scrolled straight to the last page. Just as she was about to sign for Gu Qiu’er, her finger paused—she felt it wasn’t right; this kind of thing was better signed by the person herself.
“Qiu’er, take a look at this document, then sign your name at the end yourself.”
Gu Qiu’er was currently eating a kebab; her bright red eyes glanced at the document on the Light Screen, then her finger casually swiped around indifferently.
Soon, the speed of her finger swiping slowed down more and more, like it was encountering great resistance.
The roasted meat in her mouth dropped into the plate in front of her, and her eyes began to widen.
Di Tian on the side saw Gu Qiu’er’s reaction and immediately got interested; he turned his head to look at the document too.
Di Tian: “Pfft”
Seeing the content of the document, the smile on Di Tian’s face was harder to suppress than an AK.
“Hold it in, don’t laugh!”
“But how can you hold back something this hilarious?!”
According to the conservation of smiles law, Gu Qiu’er’s face lost its smile, and her bright red eyes became dull and lifeless.
“Th-this, this, is this right?”
“L-Lord Mistress Sister, this must be a joke, right?”
“Hehe, you’re so humorous.”
Looking at Gu Yue Na’s serious expression, Gu Qiu’er swallowed and said:
“This is a joke, right?”
“Ribbit!!”
“Nooo!”
“What kind of joke is this?!”
“Ten hours of class a day?! Plus three hours of cultivation?”
“How are humans so twisted? Treating students like Soul Beasts, huh?”
“Di Tian, save me!”
“I’m not going to the Human World anymore! I want to go home!”
Di Tian had a soft heart and couldn’t bear to see the Imperial Beast with such a sad expression, so he directly turned his head to look at the main street of Shrek City.
Gu Yue Na looked at Gu Qiu’er acting like she wanted to live or die, frowned, and said:
“Qiu’er, this is all for your own good.”
“If you don’t study hard, in the future you’ll just be abandoned by the times.”
“Di Tian and I almost led the Soul Beast Clan into the Abyss because we fell behind the times.”
“As a young one of the Soul Beast Clan, you need to put in some effort! Learn more of humanity’s advanced knowledge.”
“Contribute bricks and tiles to the future development of the Soul Beast Clan.”
“Which child about your age isn’t studying in school?”
“The elite class at Enthusiasm Research Academy has the top education in the Human World, and the most advanced knowledge.”
“Many people break their heads trying to get in but can’t.”
Di Tian nodded in agreement from the side and said:
“That’s right, Lord is correct.”
“That’s exactly how I feel too.”
Gu Qiu’er was dumbfounded. She looked up at Di Tian and Gu Yue Na, really wanting to ask if the two of them were sober.
She, the Emperor Imperial Beast, a Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Beast, although she hadn’t lived for ten thousand years, was at least several thousand years old.
Which human was about her age?
But the main point now wasn’t that. Gu Qiu’er’s brain raced, and looking at the document in front of her, she suddenly had an idea.
“This, this is a voluntary form!”
“I don’t volunteer!”
“I’m not going!”
Gu Yue Na gave Gu Qiu’er a kind smile and said:
“Oh, this one.”
“I’ve already volunteered for you.”
“You just need to sign your name and go through the process. It doesn’t matter if it’s the person themselves or not.”
“Di Tian can sign for you too, after all, he’s also the guardian.”
Di Tian perked up upon hearing this, smiled, swung his arm, and elegantly prepared to sign for Gu Qiu’er.
Gu Qiu’er hurriedly grabbed Di Tian’s arm as he tried to lean over and said:
“What?”
“Isn’t this a voluntary form?”
“How can it still be volunteered for?”
“You all don’t play fair!”
“Is there no justice left?”
Di Tian lowered his arm, his voice steady and deep.
“Imperial Beast, no, now we should call you Qiu’er.”
“The world is like this.”
“Congratulations, you’ve witnessed the darkness of the world right upon arriving in the Human World.”
“Sign it.”
“This is your last shred of dignity.”
“No one here can save you now.”
Gu Qiu’er realized she had no way out. This time she was truly done for.
She trembled as she extended her arm, her white and tender fingers gently signing the humiliating document on the last line.
Gu Qiu’er gave Di Tian a deep look. She swore that in the future, if Di Tian fell seriously ill, she would be the first to agree to donate his Soul Ring and Soul Bone!
