What is a Top Performer?

Seeing the young woman before her again, Bai Yun herself couldn’t help but want to touch her snowy skin and jade-like complexion.

Her pink lips were full and glossy, complementing her pretty face, which was adorned with light makeup.

Even though she had prepared herself mentally, when Bai Yun saw Su Ran for the first time, she couldn’t hide the astonishment in her eyes.

In particular, the well-tailored clothes on Su Ran accentuated her figure to the extreme, a completely different quality from the cheap goods sold on the street.

However, what surprised Bai Yun was that this time, Su Ran did not walk out on her own.

Behind her, a young woman in a maid’s uniform was gently pushing a wheelchair.

“Xiao Ran, what happened to you? Are you injured?”

Bai Yun frowned.

When Su Ran had left her a message, she hadn’t mentioned anything about being injured, only that she needed to ask her about something.

Thinking that she had just joined the Blood Hunters a while ago, Bai Yun naturally assumed that she had been injured on a mission.

“There’s still some time before Beizhou Academy starts. I’ll put in a word for you. Enrolling is still a simple matter.”

Looking at Su Ran’s delicate and fragile body, Bai Yun regretted not continuing to persuade her at the time.

Eve was her best student.

If she couldn’t even protect Eve’s younger sister well, she would be immersed in regret until the day her life ended.

Hearing Bai Yun’s words, Su Ran hadn’t even reacted when the back of her head sank into something soft.

“No!”

After hearing what Bai Yun said, Yuan Shirui’s reaction was even greater than Su Ran’s.

She immediately held Su Ran tightly, her eyes full of vigilance as she looked at Bai Yun, as if she were afraid she would snatch Su Ran away.

“Xiao Ran is the top star of our Sakura Cafe. Sakura Cafe, which she just joined not long ago, can’t do without her. You can’t take her away!”

“She’s already set a record of a million in revenue, and after joining the Blood Hunters, she’s already a Sequence One. How could she possibly go to Beizhou Academy?”

Yuan Shirui looked at the strange woman in front of her, praying in her heart for Winnie to hurry back.

Otherwise, her own frail self wouldn’t be able to stop this woman.

“Top… top star?!!”

Bai Yun’s voice unconsciously rose a few decibels, and she shot up from her chair.

“I will absolutely not allow you to continue to stay in a place like this! You’re coming with me to Beizhou Academy. I’m not going anywhere else. I’ll use the rest of my time to properly correct your three views!”

Bai Yun was going all out.

She was going to reshape Su Ran’s three views, and would absolutely not allow such a talented seedling to sink into this mire.

“I will absolutely not let go!”

Facing Bai Yun, Yuan Shirui was not afraid, protecting Su Ran by her side and not giving an inch.

“Um… can you two calm down and listen to me?”

Sandwiched between the two of them, Su Ran, who felt like a sandwich, finally realized that they were arguing over her.

“Xiao Ran, don’t talk!”

“Sit tight and listen obediently!”

Different voices came from both ears.

Su Ran could only shrink her head and listen obediently, closing her mouth.

Her dark, round eyes looked at the ceiling, indicating that she was just a mascot.

“How is our Sakura Cafe the kind of place you’re talking about? What’s wrong with our Blood Hunters? Hasn’t Xiao Ran already advanced to Sequence Two since joining the Blood Hunters?”

“That’s because…”

Bai Yun stopped halfway through her sentence.

Although her blood was rushing to her head right now, she still hadn’t forgotten that she had to keep Su Ran’s secret.

‘Her identity cannot be exposed.’

‘Her innate magic essence talent is rare among humans. It absolutely cannot be exposed in front of so many people.’

“Because of what? Say it!”

Seeing Bai Yun remain silent, Yuan Shirui was like a victorious cat, holding her head high, and couldn’t help but press her advantage.

“That’s just because Su Ran is talented. She could have achieved the same at Beizhou Academy. Don’t you dare say it’s the credit of you Blood Hunters.”

Bai Yun’s voice lowered a little.

She didn’t want so many people present to know just how extraordinary Su Ran’s talent was.

But when Bai Yun said this, she herself didn’t have much confidence.

In less than a month, she had advanced from just entering the sequences to Sequence Two.

Even for a freshman at a superhuman academy, from starting to absorb magic essence to gathering one hundred points, and then truly advancing to Sequence One, the fastest would take a year.

It wasn’t uncommon for slower ones to take two to three years.

This period was not only for absorbing magic essence, but also for laying a solid foundation.

And this was without even counting the time it took to sense and then absorb magic essence.

Even if Su Ran had been passively absorbing magic essence before, which could explain her rapid advancement to Sequence One…

…then the speed at which she advanced from Sequence One to Sequence Two could only be described as truly exaggerated.

“In short, I will not continue to let you have your way. Su Ran, you must go to Beizhou Academy to study!”

As Bai Yun got excited, her Sequence Five aura uncontrollably leaked out, making Yuan Shirui shut her mouth.

Although Bai Yun didn’t deliberately target Yuan Shirui, the aura that inadvertently emanated, with a full rank difference, still made it a bit difficult for her to breathe.

“I’m afraid this matter depends on Su Ran’s own wishes.”

The pressure on Yuan Shirui suddenly lightened.

Hearing a familiar voice, she turned her head in pleasant surprise and called out, “Manager!”

Noticing the aura from Bai Yun’s body, Winnie had also appeared.

She blocked most of the pressure for Yuan Shirui.

Winnie’s appearance brought the attention of the three people present back to Su Ran.

Bai Yun also gathered back her out-of-control aura.

After losing most of her life force, her control over her power was also getting worse and worse.

“I agree, but before that, first explain to me what ‘top star’ means.”

Bai Yun knocked on the table forcefully, looking at Winnie and waiting for her explanation.

If the other party’s explanation was unreasonable, she would definitely notify the security officers to conduct a thorough investigation of this Sakura Cafe.

It wouldn’t matter even if the Blood Hunters were behind it.

“Look there.”

Yuan Shirui pointed to a wall near the inside of the shop.

A half-body photo of Su Ran in a maid’s uniform was hanging in the first row.

“Her official photo is in the top row. That’s what ‘top star’ means.”

Then Yuan Shirui pointed to herself.

“By the way, I’m also a top star. Ouch!”

Before Yuan Shirui could finish, she was hit on the back of the head by Winnie.

“Don’t use such ambiguous words next time.”

After listening to Bai Yun’s words, Winnie finally understood why the other party had such a big reaction.

It was a good thing that this had only reached Bai Yun’s ears.

If it had reached the ears of Her Highness the Princess, that her lover was a top star in a maid shop…

The only thing Winnie could do would be to pick a relatively good cemetery for Yuan Shirui, hoping she could sleep peacefully in it.

After all, being fired was not easy.

Sleeping more could help one forget the hunger of having no food.
