After a comfortable afternoon nap, Feini left the dormitory and went to class alone once again.
She returned to her seat, and there weren’t many people in the classroom.
However, Ten-Step Hall and Xue Dai Yue were inside, chatting with a few other youthful and fashionable girls.
When they saw Feini, they definitely pretended not to see her, acting as if they didn’t know her.
Feini didn’t care either. She flipped through her textbook, studying hard and improving every day.
“Hey, fatty, what’s with that belly of yours?”
“How come there are low-level monsters like you here?”
“Who’s your husband? Whose child are you carrying?”
“Do you know? Everyone finds you really disgusting. How can someone as shady as you exist?”
“Why don’t you just scram already?”
Just then, a few delinquent male students with exaggerated hairstyles came over, insulting and provoking Feini as they passed by.
Feini glanced at them but showed no reaction, nor was she angry—only puzzled.
She recognized these street thugs; in the original storyline, they were the unlucky first wave to provoke Ten-Step Hall, only to be instantly wiped out.
But now, instead of bothering Ten-Step Hall, they were targeting her. The plot had changed.
Feini covertly observed Ten-Step Hall, who, of course, ignored the situation and wouldn’t help.
“Hey! I’m talking to you! Fatty!” The bulldog-headed delinquent shouted angrily and grabbed Feini’s hair.
But before he could exert force, an unsharpened iron sword ruthlessly struck his shoulder from behind.
“Crack!” A crisp sound rang out.
The bulldog-headed delinquent immediately fell to his knees, his face frozen in confusion before the pain hit.
The attacker then swung his hand sharply, the sword moving so fast it left no shadow, slicing horizontally across the delinquent’s forehead before flying sideways and crashing heavily against the wall.
The other delinquent male students were frightened and quickly backed off, staring in terror at the figure exuding murderous intent.
Feini was also extremely puzzled.
The one who helped her was actually that mysterious white-haired character—the Headless Rider Qingshamu.
“Scram.” Qingshamu spoke coldly and emotionlessly.
The delinquents immediately fled like scared rabbits, disappearing in the blink of an eye.
Though they were loyal enough to carry their wounded comrade away to the Medical Room for treatment.
“Thank you,” Feini said.
“You’re welcome.” Qingshamu responded coldly, then returned to her seat.
This new character radiated a calm and composed expert aura, her combat power was extremely strong, rivaling that of Ten-Step Hall.
Those delinquents were not weak—they had to be somewhat capable in the original story to create trouble for the protagonist, which showcased the protagonist’s strength.
But now, this scene was stolen by the mysterious Qingshamu.
“Teacher, someone’s fighting!” Ten-Step Hall was still pretending, calling out to the teacher with a worried expression, playing the part of a pure and obedient top student—so fake it was laughable.
It seemed the Northern Demon King in this timeline was taking the Peace Route.
But from a perspective Feini couldn’t see…
Ten-Step Hall was also secretly watching Feini and Qingshamu, her sunny smile tinged with a hint of awkwardness.
“Oh? Someone’s fighting only at noon? That’s quite surprising.” The Witch teacher entered the classroom and mocked the dented wall.
This revealed the difference between the God and Demon Academy and the Renzu Academy.
Although the rules forbade private fights, how could they stop the hot-tempered demonic beast apprentices from clashing?
So the academy generally turned a blind eye unless things went too far.
Bullying like what just happened was common—weak demonic beasts were easy targets.
The only way to avoid being bullied was to have powerful allies.
—————
The boring afternoon classes ended as well.
Feini quietly stood up as soon as class was over, planning to go eat dinner.
To survive, she had to avoid all the plot developments.
However, as she hurried to the back door, Qingshamu quickly rose and blocked her path.
“Ah~” Feini lowered her head and bumped right into Qingshamu, thinking she’d hit a steel wall.
“Are you okay?” Qingshamu reached out and caught her, her tone cold yet tinged with a hint of gentleness.
“Ailuma?” Feini asked in confusion. “Is there something you need?”
“Are you going to eat dinner? Let’s go together.” Qingshamu bluntly invited.
“Uh… why? I saw you all this morning…” Feini wanted to say more.
“I’m not used to the food in the fancy restaurants.” Qingshamu interrupted, her tone domineering and not allowing refusal.
“Okay, then.” Feini had no choice but to agree, unwilling to defy a classmate’s order.
The two left the classroom together.
Ten-Step Hall observed again from afar, her expression puzzled.
She didn’t understand why the Headless Rider was hanging out with that little weapon trap demonic beast.
“Looks like she doesn’t intend to hang out with us.”
Snow-haired beauty Xue Dai Yue approached Ten-Step Hall with narrowed eyes. “Such a shame. She looks strong.”
“Everyone has their own ambitions. I respect their wishes.”
Ten-Step Hall instantly wiped away her doubts, turning to smile brightly like sunshine.
—————
Meanwhile, Feini and Qingshamu arrived at the low-tier demonic monster cafeteria.
After ordering their meals, they found a corner to sit down.
Feini could only afford a Ruby Burger.
Qingshamu ordered a huge spread—seafood fried rice, pork chop ramen, steak, mapo tofu—everything imaginable.
It was unbelievable and impractical, but this was another world after all.
Apparently, her appetite was enormous. No wonder she couldn’t get full at the fancy restaurants.
Yet, Qingshamu was the slimmest and most slender among their dorm mates, except for Loli Lianjian. You wouldn’t expect her to eat so much.
She even took out a music box and placed it on the table before eating, quite particular.
Feini had to gnaw on a Mineral Hamburger. Eating with others was a torture for her.
She could only envy others eating feasts while she had to sustain herself with minimal food—no money to afford a meal as lavish as Qingshamu’s.
“Do you want to try some?” Qingshamu noticed her longing gaze.
“Eh? Really?” Feini exclaimed.
“Sure, but can you eat ordinary food?” Qingshamu asked.
“Of course.” Feini answered instantly.
Although in theory, eating ordinary food wouldn’t provide her energy; it was purely for taste.
Qingshamu passed over several small bowls, offering Feini a little bit of every dish.
Feini ate small bites happily, completely satisfied.
This was the first time since reincarnating into this world that she felt truly happy.
