Since it was the first day of school, Baiyi did not attend any classes. Instead, he briefed the students on the current curriculum and asked them to think about what they wanted to learn. He also asked Tisdale, his temporary class monitor, to gather and organize the students' opinions. Baiyi's time was limited, so he could only teach a limited number of subjects.
After making the arrangements, he left the time for the students to deal with it on their own. He was ready to ponder over the problems related to the students. But when he was about to leave, he suddenly heard a humming sound from the sunflower. It sounded like music.
"Senior Sunny … It said … It wants to bask in the sun …" Nota, the fairy, was still as soft and squishy as ever. She was in charge of translating Baiyi's words. As the fairies of nature, they were born with the ability to understand the languages of all animals and plants, and they could even communicate with them directly. This was an innate talent of their kind. If it was a human, only a very high level druid could do it.
'But this sunflower … Why does it want to bask in the sun?' Baiyi thought, 'There's nothing wrong with it.' He turned around, intending to move the sunflower into the yard.
However, the fox suddenly stood up and bit the sunflower's head. Then, it carried it into the yard.
"Hey! That's — "Before Baiyi could stop it, the fox had already returned from the yard. It looked like it had moved very quickly.
"Is this okay?" Baiyi asked worriedly. Since they were both flowers and plants, his first impression of this potted sunflower was quite good.
"It's … It's okay …" Nota the fairy explained. "Senior Sunny is not a fragile plant …"
"Ah … Is that so?" Baiyi pondered for a moment, then scanned the yard with his psychic energy. He froze for a moment, then scanned the great fox and the owl. When it was Nota's turn, the little girl let out a squeal. "Ahhhh!"
"I see …" Baiyi nodded. He seemed to have understood something. He turned to the crowd and said, "I don't have many rules here, and I'll explain them to you later. But the most important rule is that I must tell you right now — no one is allowed to touch the plants that I plant in the Little Animal Coin Bank! Do you understand? No one is allowed to touch it! "
His voice was so loud that Sunflower, who was bending down in the yard and curiously looking at the few buds on the top of the can of kitten money, immediately straightened his back and didn't dare to come any closer.
After reading the most important rule, Baiyi returned to his room and asked in the Void, "What do you guys think?"
"Very good, very good. A group of interesting students," Baiyi's teacher was the first to say. He was actually optimistic about the chaos?
"They are quite powerful. Their foundations are quite good. You don't have to work so hard to teach them." The Scholar, who was also from the Door of Conundrum, naturally put in some good words for the juniors from the Door of Conundrum. "Of course, except for the young lady from the Duke's family. I'm afraid you'll have to pay more attention to her."
"Their foundations are quite good …" Baiyi nodded. He had seen the symbol of the Door of Conundrum on the new students, but it was different from the symbol of an open eye on Baldy's body. The symbol on the new students was a closed eye, which meant that they were thinking and meditating, which meant that they were still in the learning phase.
Other than Vidomina, there were four eyelashes on the symbol. When the fifth eyelash was added, the closed eye would open, which meant that they had officially become sages.
In other words, Baldy did not lie to Baiyi. He might not have told him the whole truth, but at the very least, what he told him was the truth. These students were already worthy of being called Wise Ones, so Baiyi would not have to put in much effort to teach them. Instead, they might even be able to help Baiyi teach his four original students.
A sage with four eyelashes was more than qualified to be a professor in a normal academy. After all, they were from the Door of Conundrum, which claimed to have collected all the knowledge in the world.
"You're right, but if you really want to teach them, there's always a lot you can teach!" The Scholar continued in the Void. "You're a Great Sage, after all. The gap between a sage and a sage might be enough for them to catch up to you for the rest of their lives."
"I think the Door of Conundrum really thinks highly of you by sending these students to you," the Soul Armature Practitioner chimed in. "When I was young, I even thought about joining the Door of Conundrum, but I couldn't pass the exam. They're a very proud organization."
In fact, with the Soul Armature Practitioner's status and achievements, becoming a Great Sage would be a piece of cake. However, the Door of Conundrum still had the reserved and arrogant attitude of an academic. If one did not take the initiative to apply, they would not ask for help.
"They say that they think highly of me, but no matter what, me and these students are all anomalies in the eyes of the common people. They're just bringing anomalies together," Baiyi said with a wry smile. "That's not a big deal. At least I don't have to worry about the identities of these students."
Baiyi was now a thorn in the side of dark forces like Godsfall. Even if he was not the most hated person in the world, he was at least in the top ten. Considering that the group of crazy people could even infiltrate the Judicial Court, the Door of Conundrum must have many of them. If they really sent him some normal people, Baiyi would have to spend some time to verify their identities.
However, these students were not needed. They were the Duke's daughters. Animals, plants, fairies — these creatures naturally could not become followers of Godsfall, and no one would spend any effort on them.
"That flower, on the other hand, is an expert in illusions, right? It's pretty good. If Sir Hope did not pay attention to it just now, I'm afraid you would have been fooled. " The Charlatan, who usually did not have much of a presence, suddenly changed the topic and commented on Sunny the Sunflower's illusions. As a master of illusions, the Charlatan's evaluation was already very high.
"The Soulsucker Demon Flower is an expert in illusions. It often uses illusions to disguise itself as a harmless, ordinary plant to lure its prey. To be honest, it's really rare for such a rare monster to evolve to the point where it can learn human knowledge. Based on their most basic consciousness, it must have taken them at least a thousand years to accumulate such intelligence," the Explorer said.
As a plant-type monster, the Spiriteater Demon Flower had an innate camouflage ability, or rather, a natural illusionary ability. It was often placed in forbidden lands as a trap, and the explorer was naturally familiar with it. After all, he had often come into contact with these strange things when he was alive.
Yes, Sunny the Sunflower's original form was not as harmless as it was now, and it even had the style of an anime. Its original form was very much like the hair of Medusa in mythological works, or the tentacle monsters in various emotional works. Its nimble branches were like little snakes, and they had terrifying sharp teeth on them.
I have to emphasize that this thing doesn't have any special interest in young and beautiful women. In their eyes, they are all delicious food, and food to be eaten, not food to be played with. Please don't get the wrong idea.
Aside from Sunny the Sunflower, the fox and the owl also had traces of camouflage on their bodies. Baiyi noticed a Shrinking Spell on the fox's body. Its thick fur was hiding a Shrinking Rune, which meant that its original body was much larger than what it appeared to be. It was definitely not the size of a large dog like the one Baiyi was seeing now.
This wasn't strange at all. Foxes weren't strong, and as wild beasts, they were far inferior to jackals, wolves, tigers, and leopards. They also had to face greedy hunters and noble ladies who loved fur. The pressure to survive was very great, so the probability of them evolving into magical beasts was very low. Almost every magical beast fox was very rare, and for them to evolve to this stage, they naturally had many outstanding points.
As for the last owl, Bord, it was the first to be exposed. When it was not standing on top of the fox's head, it flew to a corner of the roof and hung upside down. It squinted its eyes and listened to the conversations of the people below. Although it still looked like a round owl, how could a normal owl hang upside down?
According to the books, the Umbra Nightingale did not have a specific shape. According to the limited number of eyewitnesses, they were just a thick fog in the dark, like their entire body was shrouded in a black fog. As for their true form, it was definitely not an owl.
However, the owl that it had turned into was very lifelike. There was not a single flaw in its appearance, and there were no illusions on its body either. If one thought about it carefully, they must have some kind of innate transformation ability. Because the transformation was so realistic, many people would not know that it was an Umbra Nightingale, even if they had seen it before. That black fog must be their true form.
Baiyi suspected that the Umbra Nightingale's true form was not a bird, but a bird's name.
On the other hand, Nota the fairy showed no signs of camouflage. This was her true form. In other words, she was so beautiful and adorable, and she did not use any magic, makeup, or software. She was a natural beauty, just like Mia and the others.
However, her personality was too weak. Baiyi could not help but worry that she would be bullied or something. Perhaps, after she joined the family, Attie would no longer be at the bottom of the food chain.
