The Pope fell silent, his gaze resting on Josh, filled with a mix of caution and scrutiny.
Josh turned to look at him. "Your Holiness, don’t you believe I can take you away to see broader and more expansive vistas? Are you willing to be trapped in this place forever, only to entertain yourself endlessly? Even if I stay here with you, your happiness would only be temporary! Would you rather drag down with you instead of letting save you?"
"Enough!" The Pope, as if pricked at a sore spot, raised his hand and sent her out of the Otherworldly Space.
Josh returned to the office, and suddenly her head was hit.
"Ouch..." She touched the spot that hurt from the hit.
Inside the room ca the Pope’s unusually cold voice, "Take this thing and get out!"
Josh picked it up and saw it was an identity badge, saying "Class Instructor 1-444, Windsor."
A new Windsor appeared in the office, seemingly without as much malice towards her.
She couldn’t help but chuckle a bit; this person was pretty stiff-mouthed but soft-hearted.
Josh handed the identity badge to the new Teacher Windsor and walked out of the office in high spirits.
Miss Susanna, it seems you’ll be disappointed this ti~
That night, Susanna got the strategy for the second level from Lulu’s mouth, and everyone passed the second level, earning a peaceful night.
Campus broadcast: "Congratulations to all freshn for completing the second level test. Sharing is caring among friends, so always share good things with each other~ Tomorrow begins the third level, the exam. If the scores from you and your partner precisely match the required number, you can pass~ After completing the third level, your partner can graduate smoothly and leave the school!"
*
Dormitory.
Josh lay on the bed and yawned.
Erin sat beside her, looking worried: "Josh, if we pass the exam tomorrow, I’ll be graduating..."
Josh opened her eyes wide: "Congratulations~"
Erin bit her lip: "Do you want to leave?"
Josh: "Of course I do!"
Seeing her carefree attitude, Erin felt a bit stifled: "Josh!"
"Hmm..." Josh responded lazily.
Erin was a bit conflicted: "I don’t want to graduate."
Josh finally opened her eyes: "Why? Isn’t graduating a good thing? You get to leave here and go ho."
Erin lowered her head: "What’s so good about going ho? My parents are so busy with work, they only ever care about my grades, always asking about my scores, enrolling in tutoring classes, giving endless pocket money, I barely see them a few tis a year, it’s always the nanny keeping company at ho."
"Having money, huh~" Josh remarked, "The troubles of rich folks, I don’t quite get them."
Erin suddenly pulled back her quilt and lay down in her bed without a word: "Josh."
Josh: "... Let state first, I’m not into girls or anything."
Erin’s face darkened, the atmosphere she created was completely ruined: "I’m not either."
Josh relaxed: "Oh, that’s good then."
Erin leaned on her gently: "Josh, we’re good friends, right? I don’t want to be separated from you."
Josh said lazily, "All good things must co to an end."
Barrage: [My son is truly cultured, I often feel out of place because I can’t keep up with his culture.]
[Suddenly I understand those parents who enroll themselves in classes after sending their kids to school.]
[They say good family education nurtures excellent children, how did such a useless person like end up with such a cultured son!]
[Stop pretending, it’s been found out. This phrase in Ancient Blue Star Language ans ’all feasts must co to an end,’ implying that everyone must part ways eventually.]
[Oh! Got it.]
[Daily study of Ancient Blue Star culture in my son’s livestream (1/1) complete.]
Erin, sullen with her head down, said, "Josh, aren’t we good friends? Why do you seem so unbothered by our impending separation?"
Josh nodded carelessly: "I’m sad."
Erin suddenly sat up and pushed her: "You never truly wanted to be friends with , did you?"
Dark energy swirled in her eyes.
Josh wondered what was wrong with her: "How did I not genuinely befriend you?"
Erin said angrily: "We’re going to be separated! Can’t you understand? After tomorrow’s exam, we’ll be separated, and I’ll graduate and leave! Why don’t you seem the least bit sad, or are you happy that I’m leaving, losing a burden?"
Josh was a bit exhausted: "But sooner or later, you have to graduate, right? We can’t be together forever."
Erin seed triggered: "Why can’t we be together forever? We are good friends! Good friends should be together for life! You have been so kind to ; you’re the first at this school to stand up and protect ! I absolutely cannot allow you to leave ! Absolutely not!"
She once again showed signs of transformation.
Josh quickly reassured her: "Okay, okay, I’m not leaving, I’m not leaving, alright? Don’t get worked up; it’s late, how about we sleep?"
Only then was Erin pacified, settling down quietly beside her and gently brushing her shoulder: "Then promise you won’t deceive ."
Josh nodded: "I promise, I absolutely won’t deceive you."
Barrage: [Girl, don’t be fooled, she’s promised countless NPCs before.]
[Another naive girl falls for it.]
[Josh, how can you deceive such a lovely girl without feeling guilty?]
With reassurance obtained, Erin’s emotions finally steadied a bit.
She quietly nestled beside Josh, letting her eyelids lower to hide her expression.
The next day.
The final round, those who pass the exam can successfully win and escape the dungeon.
The new Teacher Windsor handed out the test papers and wrote the number 69 on the board.
Josh and Erin exchanged a glance, then bowed their heads to write their nas on the test paper.
The mont she wrote down her na, the surrounding environnt underwent a tumultuous change.
Josh found herself isolated at a desk within a void-like environnt.
From the front ca Windsor’s voice: "There’s no need to panic, this is the isolation used for the third level exam, to prevent any of you from cheating."
At his words, Josh didn’t say much, calmly assembling her test paper.
Even if she didn’t know the answers, it didn’t matter; she could calculate them with her fingers.
The answers she figured out ca from her own abilities.
After the exam, as the papers were collected, the classroom environnt returned to normal.
Erin glanced at Josh out of guilt, quietly retracting her gaze.
Windsor announced the scores upfront; she didn’t even need to grade the papers, rely a glance was enough to tell her the score.
Many NPCs watched Windsor nervously, anticipating the exam results this ti.
