We heard a rhythmic set of footsteps, and everyone turned to look expectantly at the entrance. A beautiful lady with long, flowy hair walked onto the podium.

The Empire’s elite Commander and my current form teacher, Miss Pan Lingling entered the scene!

Once she saw that everyone was quiet, Pang Lingling nodded, satisfied. Then, she cleared her throat and said, “Everyone, a new classmate has transferred to our class. Perhaps you have already found out about this from Zhao Hang. Our new classmate this time is a beauty!”

“Wah!” Everyone applauded.

I was shocked. Pan Lingling, this fella, was becoming more and more immersed in this roleplay.

At that moment, I felt a familiar and soothing wave in my mind. Sandora was here.

The door of the classroom was pushed open from outside. Then, four Nordic men dressed in tuxedos walked in.

Eh?

The four men—who were huge as elephants—stepped in and immediately caused all the chattering classmates to fall silent. Every single classmate tensed up, looking nervously at the four men and then at each other… unsure of what to do.

“Ah Jun…” On my left, Qianqian muttered, frightened, “What’s going on?”

My head began to hurt as I replied, “Sandora, that lass…”

The four men were dressed in heavy-duty, Xyrin infantry armor and looked as if they were part of the European Mafia. The moment they entered the classroom, they positioned themselves by the podium and the entrance like statues. The next moment, the air in the classroom seemed to solidify.

Right after that, we heard light footsteps outside the door. A blue figure—complete with a glowing, golden halo—walked into the classroom.

Sandora walked briskly to the podium and scanned the classroom with her cold, contemptuous, queen-like gaze. Several soft sounds of benches colliding with one another could be heard from various corners of the classroom.

Once she confirmed that everybody had their eyes on her, Sandora smiled politely and bowed slightly, saying, “How do you do? I am Sandora, Sandora Kelvie Eulasis. In the coming six months, I will be studying here together with all of you. I hope we will get along well.”

The classroom remained silent. Everyone was clearly shocked by Sandora’s beauty, good manners, and elegant posture—so much they forgot how to react. Almost everyone had the same question in their heads: “Was this person supposed to go to Cang Lan Private High School but mistakenly walked into ours?”

In actual fact—given Sandora’s identity, even Cang Lan Private High School would look no different from a primitive shed to her. Since everything looked like grass sheds, it made no difference to her which school she went to.

“Alright.” Seeing as there was no response, Pan Lingling quickly stepped forward and clapped her hands, trying to get everyone’s attention again. “Our classmate, Sandora, has already finished introducing herself. Now, why don’t you all clap to welcome her?”

It was only then that all the classmates regained their composure. Immediately, they started clapping.

Pan Lingling stretched out both her hands as if trying to press something downward, gesturing for everyone to quiet down. Then, she said, “I believe that everyone is curious as to Sandora’s identity. Since Sandora has requested, we will keep her identity secret for now. However, very quickly, everyone will find out about this secret. Now, let’s assign Sandora to a seat.”

As Pan Lingling spoke, everyone turned slowly around to look at me.

I slipped off my chair and squatted beneath my table.

Unfortunately, this disguising technique was completely ineffective.

I heard Pan Lingling say, “There seems to be no one seated on the right side of Chen Jun. You can go and sit there for now.” Then, I heard gentle footsteps getting closer and closer to me.

I felt something tighten around my neck, and then I was dragged out from under the table by a strangely-powerful girl. Sandora smiled happily as she looked at me.

“Ya, how are you, Chen Jun!” Sandora happily said. Then, without paying any attention to the shocked looks from everyone around us, she buried herself in my arms. As she swayed from side to side, she said, “En, this place is much more comfortable indeed…”

Hey, hey, hey! Are you trying to kill me?!

“Chen Jun…” A miserable, male voice sounded by the side of my ear, frightening me. I turned around and saw a pile of concentrated fats right in front of me.

“Fatty! Are you trying to scare me to death?!” I spat.

Fatty looked at me miserably and said, “My first crush is gone. Brat, you are too unkind. You already have the class flower, Qianqian. Now…”

Sandora stuck her head between me and Fatty and asked, “What’s a class flower?”

I pushed Sandora’s head back and said, irritated, “Look at what you did!”

Sandora’s shocking actions caused the entire class to fall silent for just one second before they collectively said, “Whoa!” Immediately after, countless burning eyes turned to focus on the two of us from all directions. I could almost hear the crackling sounds these burning gazes were causing in the air around them. What’s more, the one that burned the most was coming from my left.

“Ah Jun…” Qianqian’s cold voice sounded from beside me. A terrifying pressure seemed to be emanating from her body out into the surroundings. Within a few seconds, the entire classroom was covered in dark clouds; there were raging winds, ghosts crying, wolves howling… keke, sorry, I seemed to have confused Qianqian with Arthas1.

It looked like Qianqian was really mad this time. Thinking about it more carefully, it was only natural. Under these circumstances, even the most hard-headed girl would be enraged. According to the laws of nature, the deeper the love, the more intense the hate. If that were true, the fact that Qianqian did not draw a machete out at this point showed that she was remaining relatively calm.

I pushed the confused Sandora away as hard as I could and then smiled as I turned to face Qianqian. “Er… Qianqian…”

“Hmph!” Qianqian tutted and turned away from me.

I looked around me and then carefully said to Qianqian, “Qianqian, are you angry?”

Qianqian stole a sideward glance at Sandora whose head was pressed down to the table but whose limbs were still dancing around. Coldly, she asked, “What do you think?”

That’s great! At the very least, Qianqian was still responding to me. If she stopped responding to me whatsoever at this point, it would really be a tragedy.

“Well… Qianqian, this is not what you think it is. Sandora just acts this way. My head is hurting as well…”

“What did I do wrong?!” Sandora asked curiously.

“Are you still not ashamed?!” I shot back, annoyed.

“Alright, alright!” Qianqian waved her hand. “Do you think I don’t know what kind of man you are? Even if all the other men in this world cheated, you would not!”

…Qianqian, I am very touched that you trust me this much, but why do I still feel like this is a little weird?

“Qianqian, then you—”

“Trust aside, how can I not be angry? What’s more, you’d better find a good time to explain to me why Sandora did not stick to anyone else but you!”

Now that I had settled Qianqian, I began to use my spiritual connection to explain to Sandora just how shocking what she just did was to everyone else.

This morning’s class had to be the most torturous class I had ever had to sit through. All around me, my classmate’s glares seemed to burn holes into my shirt. Qianqian continued to emit a cold, subtle pressure. Sandora, who was seated on the other side of me, displayed occasional warning signs that she was going to do something shocking, causing me to tremble every time.

Me aside, everyone else had a hard time sitting through the class. There was no other reason apart from the four burly men standing at each corner of the classroom. They resembled bears dressed in tuxedos; naturally, the people in class were scared.

Suddenly, a thought surfaced in my mind. This school was being controlled by aliens… any good Hollywood director who stepped in at this moment would be able to turn this into a movie about human nature, human authority, and human pride.

I got through school, feeling like I was seated on a chair of needles the entire time. The life-saving school bell finally rang. My classmates cheered out of habit. Then, on seeing the men in tuxedos, they fell silent and choked on their own saliva.

I grabbed Sandora with one hand and rushed out of the classroom. She screamed, “Ah, Chen Jun, what are you doing?!”

“We’re going to pick Lili… or Pandora. We’re also going to look for Qianqian to explain to her… look at you. The moment you arrived, you brought so much trouble for me!”

Now, I had a strong feeling that Sandora’s arrival was the biggest problem I would face in my entire life!
