“What’s an Inquisitor?” Wang Ning asked, subconsciously wanting to turn and ask Xiali, but another voice answered her quickly.

Chloe: “Inquisitors belong to the Judgment Hall and are responsible for inspection and adjudication.”

After speaking, she realized that… this wasn’t their study time together, and the question might not have been directed at her, but… she had subconsciously answered her question.

Chloe pursed her lips, secretly annoyed with herself, and saw Xiali cast a glance at her.

Xiali: (Annoyed)

‘Ningning was asking me. Why does this person always steal my lines?’

Xiali irritably poked at the food on her plate. She knew Wang Ning had asked this person to study with her after class—if she hadn’t been so busy after joining the student council, there wouldn’t have been a chance for anyone else.

Moreover, she didn’t think this gloomy person would have a good influence on Ningning.

She could only say, “Mhm, it’s just as Student Chloe said.”

Wang Ning’s eyes remained fixed on the news on the screen. The figure that had flashed by earlier was very familiar, but she wasn’t sure if it was the person she was thinking of.

‘It’s probably just someone else with red hair.’

Putting this thought aside, what she cared about most was the final scene of the news broadcast, the bodies of those rebels…

“Why do those rebels look so strange? It’s like they’ve…” ‘mutated.’ Wang Ning swallowed the rest of her words. Even with the censorship, the parts that were shown were quite disgusting and not very appetizing.

This time, Xiali answered her. “That’s Multiple Bloodline Aberration. In some people, the bloodlines are too mixed, leading to severe conflict and rejection. At the same time, they have to endure the pain and violence catalyzed by their bloodlines, which causes this condition.”

‘Another setting that wasn’t in the game.’

Wang Ning asked curiously, “Is there a medical treatment for it?”

Xiali: “Yes.”

‘Where there’s a disease, there’s a cure, especially for a disease with such a market.’

She continued, “But the medicine is very expensive for most people, and it’s almost completely monopolized by the Life Sequence.”

After hearing this, Wang Ning immediately checked on her phone. After seeing the price, she sucked in a sharp breath.

Blood Fusion Agent, one hundred thousand per injection.

The effect only lasts for the current month.

This meant that those who suffered from the disease had to keep getting these injections just to stay alive, and a year’s worth of injections alone would cost over a million.

She turned off her phone and said silently, “No wonder these people want to rebel.”

At this price, a year’s worth of treatment could eat through an entire house. Who had that many houses to burn through?

“Is there no other way?” Wang Ning asked.

Xiali frowned, seeing that she was so busy talking she wasn’t eating. She picked up a spoon and skillfully fed Wang Ning a mouthful.

“Mmph, mmph, I-I can eat by myself!” Wang Ning saw the spoon before her eyes and was unexpectedly stuffed with a mouthful.

“You don’t have to…” Wang Ning chewed, then suddenly fell silent for a moment.

‘Wait, stir-fried North Sea ice shrimp. This crisp, sweet, and springy texture bursting with an extremely fragrant sauce was a dish Wang Ning had passed by the window countless times, only to be daunted by the price.’

Wang Ning: “…”

‘So good.’

‘Mommy, hungry, want food.’

Wang Ning listened to Xiali speak while she ate. “The other way is to join the Church or become a believer.”

“Of course, this ‘Church’ generally refers to Kaos or God’s Blade. It’s said that after entering, you can have the chance to be granted ‘Purification’ by a Purifier.”

“Ah, anyway, it’s quite troublesome. Because ‘Purification,’ to put it bluntly, is a special ability that only ‘pure humans’ can possess. No, Purifiers are an even rarer existence among pure humans,” Xiali shrugged.

Wang Ning: “…I only knew that pure humans could become Magisters.”

Xiali glanced at her helplessly. “Sometimes I feel like you’ve just secretly run away from a place far from the mainland, Ningning.”

“You’re not really an angel who fell from the sky, are you?” Xiali suddenly moved closer to Wang Ning, carefully examining her face, and naturally reached out to wipe the sauce from the corner of Wang Ning’s lips.

‘Purifiers are one of the highest-status groups in society. It is indeed a bit strange that she doesn’t know.’

Wang Ning, who had truly transmigrated from another world, gave a dry laugh. “…Ha, haha, maybe.”

‘Darn it, I only remembered to review the textbooks. My brain completely filtered out this kind of common knowledge!’

The cafeteria was crowded and noisy. Various patterns were carved into the huge floor-to-ceiling glass walls, and the sunlight shone through them onto the wooden dining tables. The interaction between the two was so harmonious that it was impossible to insert a word.

Chloe looked at the meal in front of her. It was just the most common complimentary meal provided by the cafeteria.

She lowered her eyes and said softly, “Student Wang Ning, I have something to do tonight, so I won’t be going to the library. I’m sorry.”

Wang Ning’s gaze returned to her. She said frankly, “That’s fine. What is it? Do you need my help?”

Chloe looked into her eyes. As always, that sea of blue was at ease. She thought for a moment and shook her head.

“It’s okay if you don’t want to say. Remember to contact me if you run into trouble,” Wang Ning said after swallowing her food, her cheeks puffed out.

‘Although she’s a weakling, it doesn’t matter. She’ll choose to call a teacher or a classmate.’

‘Borrowing the tiger’s might… ah, no, throwing one’s weight around… that’s not right either. Anyway, who would fight one-on-one when you can have a group fight? It’s not shameful.’

Wang Ning thought to herself without a change in expression.

“Announcement: we will be adding another Magic Perception class this afternoon. I hope all students will take it seriously,” Teacher Louie announced from the podium.

A wave of wails came from below.

“No way, again? Adding a class is one thing, but can’t they not take up our P.E. class?!”

“The school should really give up. If our school can produce a single Magister, I’ll go wash my hair standing on my head!”

“Hehe, the same old program every year—as usual, Academic Committee Member, I definitely won’t let you guess the number on the Rubik’s cube this time!”

The class’s Academic Committee Member smiled and gave the speaker a light punch, successfully putting them into an infant-like sleep.

Wang Ning… Wang Ning didn’t hear a thing. She was currently propping her head up with one hand and holding a pen in the other as if writing, but if you got closer, you would find—her eyes were tightly shut, and she was sleeping soundly.

Having stayed up late to catch up on all her courses, Wang Ning was now all about catching up on sleep whenever and wherever she could.

‘Magister? What’s that? Does it have anything to do with her? Right now, she’s just an ordinary pure human student s*ave.’

Boli An had returned the day after their phone call. She was still lying on her desk, just as Wang Ning was used to seeing her.

Wang Ning’s seat was near the window. A tree branch quietly peeked in, and the green leaves cast a shadow on her sleeping face. You could see her long, slender eyelashes and fair skin. The light dyed her with a dreamlike halo, like the projection of a beautiful dream, making the people around her subconsciously lower their voices.

Several students quietly took pictures with their phones.

…

The chat below was flooded with “Good job.” Xiali looked at the grand spectacle and closed the group chat with satisfaction.

‘These people really have nothing better to do.’

Wang Ning felt herself being poked. She opened her eyes in a daze, her brain slowly booting up. She looked around.

‘No one’s here. Who poked me?’

Boli An: “How can you sleep even more than me?”

Wang Ning turned her head at the sound of the voice. Boli An was propping her face up with one hand, her light green eyes staring at her. She suddenly reached out a hand and poked her cheek.

Wang Ning: “…What are you doing?”

Boli An: “V me 100 million and I’ll tell you.”

Wang Ning: ‘?’

‘Psycho.’
