In front of her, Ye Shiyu's heartbeat gradually quickened, and her phone glowed with a faint purple light.

"Oh, they're here!"

However, in the next second, a familiar voice came from the "monster."

Upon hearing that voice, Ye Shiyu and Bai Yi were both taken aback.

It wasn't until the "monster" came closer that they realized it was Spencer carrying Sakuragi Hitomi on his back, running toward them!

"Spencer! Sakuragi Hitomi?!"

"It's you guys!?"

Although Spencer had been carrying her all the way, Sakuragi Hitomi was breathless from holding onto Spencer to avoid falling.

"Ha... Ye Shiyu! Bai Yi! You bastards who targeted the President! An Le was right; you two gained superpowers just to harm the President!"

Ye Shiyu frowned and quickly turned to look at Bai Yi behind her.

She found that this guy, intending to sneak away, had already put a few meters between them.

Hearing this, Bai Yi immediately spoke up,

"Wait, Vice President Sakuragi, hold on! Listen to me!"

Gritting her teeth, Sakuragi Hitomi got down from Spencer, her breathing becoming ominous,

"No need to explain! I've decided to help An Le deal with you two first..."

"Can you do it?"

However, Bai Yi pursed her lips but quickly interrupted.

She then pointed to the surrounding forest and confidently stated,

"Though you didn't specifically mention it before, your barrier should only be usable indoors, right? Look around, we're clearly outside!"

"..."

Hearing this, the furious Sakuragi Hitomi was stunned, her steps halted.

Indeed, her barrier was said to be usable only indoors when it was granted to her.

As a result, she indeed calmed down a little.

Yet, amid calmness, she glanced at Bai Yi with surprise, filled with suspicion:

When did this guy become so clever?

Not only Sakuragi Hitomi, but even Ye Shiyu glanced at Bai Yi in surprise.

"Now, can you listen to what I have to say?"

"...Speak, what do you want to say?"

"Thank you."

Hearing this, Bai Yi straightened her clothes and stepped forward.

First, she cast an annoyed glance at Ye Shiyu and explained,

"First off, I didn't do anything to Yan Huan earlier! It was all Ye Shiyu's scheme! I was trying to stop her!"

Sakuragi Hitomi frowned, and Ye Shiyu closed her eyes, speaking coldly,

"If you're going to talk about An Le, just say it... stop with the pointless digression..."

"It's not a digression! This concerns my reputation!"

"..."

Seeing the speechless expressions on everyone's faces, Bai Yi lightly coughed and said,

"Moreover, under my strong obstruction, she didn't succeed at all! Meaning, Ye Shiyu didn't have time to do anything to Yan Huan before you arrived!"

"!!"

Yes, that was the key point.

Earlier, Ye Shiyu was stubborn, expressing possession over Yan Huan, leading Sakuragi Hitomi and An Le to mistakenly believe Ye Shiyu had indeed done something.

In reality, she hadn't even had the chance to undo her belt.

Upon hearing this, Sakuragi Hitomi's heart felt like a heavy stone had been lifted.

That's great...

The President... The President hasn't been with anyone else... That's great...

However, Sakuragi Hitomi hadn't celebrated for more than a second before Bai Yi's sharp eyes turned to her, pointing a finger, and sternly said,

"Ye Shiyu didn't succeed, but, Vice President Sakuragi, don't forget, An Le plans to do something important on the last day of the retreat!"

With that, Sakuragi Hitomi instantly understood.

Bai Yi must have stealthily overheard what An Le plans to do!

"So, what exactly..."

"An Le plans to take Yan Huan's first on the last day!!"

"!!"

Hearing this, Sakuragi Hitomi was instantly stunned.

She squinted her eyes, but secretly doubted and asked back,

"So, you're still saying that An Le is dealing with us to fulfill her own desires?"

"Of course, she didn't even plan to buy protection or medicine! I heard it with my eavesdropping power, believe it or not! Isn't this a plan to... thoroughly... um..."

As Bai Yi spoke, she shyly coughed.

Quite different from her audacious outburst earlier.

"Haha, not even planning to buy protection and medicine..."

Sakuragi Hitomi listened but couldn't help but find it amusing; no girl would express something so boldly?

Unless she wanted to have a child early, not caring at all about her future...

Thinking this, the sarcasm on Sakuragi Hitomi's face gradually faded and dissolved.

At this moment, in her mind, An Le's reminder flashed like a spark.

She said: Using superpowers comes with a cost.

Previously, Sakuragi Hitomi always thought An Le misunderstood because their personal experiences couldn't be wrong.

But what if...

An Le wasn't wrong, and their experiences weren't wrong either.

It was just that they hadn't used their powers as much, so the cost wasn't evident.

An Le, using her superpower frequently and continuously, must have felt it more.

And if the cost was so significant, significant enough for An Le to believe that after expelling other superpowers, she wouldn't have a future with the President.

That's why she didn't even buy protection or medicine.

She's serious...

"..."

Suddenly, realizing everything under An Le's reminder, Sakuragi Hitomi's face changed dramatically, leaving her momentarily speechless.

Yet Bai Yi, thinking Sakuragi Hitomi still didn't believe her, hurriedly continued to persuade,

"Vice President Sakuragi, you just saw it, An Le's superpower performance is a bit... out of control now.

"I feel like her power and ours aren't on the same level, if she wants to take Yan Huan's first, without the two of us, can you stop her?

"Only with the four of us joining forces can we possibly stop her!"

Hearing these words, Sakuragi Hitomi looked up at Bai Yi and Ye Shiyu, just about to speak...

Spencer, listening from behind, furrowed his brow and interrupted,

"Wait, I don't know if I got this right..."

Spencer's sudden remark caught everyone off guard, so they all turned to look at him.

"So, what you're saying is, during this time, you are, on paper, part of my study group to help me with studying...

"But behind my back, each of you is using your superpowers to mess with Yan Huan?"

Upon hearing this, both Bai Yi and Sakuragi Hitomi were stunned.

They had always considered Spencer a fool, but didn't expect him to be exceptionally perceptive today.

Hiss...

Could it be they're standing under the Tree of Wisdom?

Does the Tree of Wisdom give intelligence bonuses?!
