"This... I don’t know." Tian Bufan shook his head, "You might ask Fortune Life Wei Liang the Celestial, but he seems unwilling to tell us imdiately."
"Even now, still being so secretive?" Lin Yi was angry.
Tian Bufan said helplessly, "Our existence itself might be a paradoxical loop. When sothing is completed, we might also disappear along with it."
"Or perhaps we have long since died, just ghosts in a ti loop, or maybe we never existed at all, rely spirits of unsolvable paradox..."
"No one knows of us, but we have surpassed ti itself, only the existence between monts. The Fusheng Wei Liang Heavenly Venerable Association will rember us."
Tian Bufan’s voice was faint, with a tinge of unspoken sorrow.
"’In the depths of mist and darkness, the lost souls seek after phantoms’... this caution has long encompassed everything."
Lin Yi pressed his lips together, suddenly feeling a discomfort swelling in his chest, yearning for an outlet. Yet when he opened his mouth, he found himself at a loss for words.
"Boss... Li Huiyuan, the horoom teacher, will they forget us?"
"Probably... Maybe the tiline will overwrite itself, and we never existed in their lives," Tian Bufan smiled wryly. "Don’t worry about it so much... You better hope the boss, once her mory returns, is still on our side."
"I kind of hope she’s not on our side now..." Lin Yi said dejectedly, "If she’s an enemy, there’d be less concern. But if she’s with us and we disappear, would she occasionally think of the fool who could never quite be kicked away?"
"Idiot, I guess the boss wouldn’t think that much." Mao Feiyang said teasingly.
"Alright then..." Lin Yi shrugged, "I won’t think about it anymore... So, what we need to do now is return to the Art Building and et Kuai Kuai, right?"
"Yes." Mao Feiyang answered, "At this ti, we still need to hurry and release ’her.’ But that’s fine; last ti I went to the dorm, I left myself a backdoor. Once Kuai Kuai joins us, we can get there quickly."
"It won’t take much ti."
Mao Feiyang said, approaching the desk. He reached out and placed his hand on the "Star Dream Crystal." A magical scene unfolded as the area around the "Star Dream Crystal" began to seep with mist. Within that mist, countless intricate secret marks erged, wrapping the "Star Dream Crystal." Slowly, they twisted and turned, forming a miniature vortex in Mao Feiyang’s hand.
The vortex swallowed the "Star Dream Crystal" and gradually disappeared into the air.
"This...?" Mao Feiyang’s maneuver left Lin Yi stunned, but he quickly responded, "Did you just send the ’Star Dream Crystal’ to Kuai Kuai?"
"It’s not that simple," Mao Feiyang rolled his eyes at him, "Originally, it was planned for you to handle this, but so unexpected events happened before you returned, and we don’t have the ti to deliver it to Kuai Kuai."
"So I stored it away." Mao Feiyang raised his arm, revealing complex patterns on his wrist like a wreath woven from the tendrils of the World Tree.
"The ’Star Dream Crystal’?" Lin Yi asked in surprise.
"Yes," Mao Feiyang replied, "It’s just a little trick of the Art Departnt, similar to how those art students draw Sneering Angels on the walls, but my micro-control has more finesse."
"It’s not too late to hand it to him when we et with Kuai Kuai."
Mao Feiyang said, heading towards the door of the Principal’s Office, but at that mont, Lin Yi suddenly spoke up, "Hey, wait a minute!"
"What is it?" Mao Feiyang asked.
Lin Yi said, "I just thought of sothing, now that we’re here, why haven’t we seen the Principal’s Code or sothing like that?"
"The Principal’s Code?" Tian Bufan responded with a question, "At this point, do you think the existence of the Principal’s Code has any significance?"
Lin Yi was taken aback. Indeed, the rules within the campus were ant to restrict the corresponding identity unit and provide them with security when necessary. Does the Principal need a code?
It seems... not necessary.
Tian Bufan said, "If you’re adamant about the Principal’s Code, then I can tell you clearly now... The Principal himself is a mobile ’Principal’s Code.’ With this explanation, are you more disappointed or more surprised?"
Lin Yi admitted, "If it were before we ca here, I would have been both shocked and disappointed, but now... I suddenly feel it’s quite normal."
The Principal... does not need the constraints of rules, or rather, any rules are powerless for soone of the Principal’s caliber.
"If you’re really that interested..." Mao Feiyang’s hand left the doorknob of the Principal’s Office, turning around toward the desk.
Approaching the desk, Mao Feiyang reached under it and pulled out a hidden drawer.
"Look, this is the ’Principal’s Code’ you wanted to know about."
Lin Yi’s eyes sharpened as he quickly glanced over, spotting a docunt bag sealed with a transparent plastic-like material inside the drawer, containing a thin sheet of paper.
Words were written on the paper with a steady handwriting:
[When you see these words, it ans you are already qualified to inherit the title of ’Principal.’]
[Before leaving, I have left the ’Principal’s’ identity badge on the back of this paper. Take it, and you will inherit the na of ’Principal’ and be required to strictly adhere to the ’Principal’s Code.’]
[’Principal’s Code’]:
As a Principal, you do not need to follow any rules within the code, but you must always rember the following three points:
1. Fear is a human instinct, courage is the song of humanity, but the truly comndable quality is an unbeatable self-will which, after perceiving the power of the ’Root,’ can still resolutely stand on the human side.
The ’Principal’ is human, and for life, no matter the circumstances, must always consider events from a human’s perspective;
2. Do not interfere in the developnt of any non-’Angel Envoy’ level unit within the campus. Human developnt requires the blessing of the transcendent side, and the campus is a catalyst in this process;
3. When you perceive any threat beyond reality invading the campus, you can deal a devastating blow directly.
Having reached this point, I think there’s nothing more to say.
The rest is entrusted to you, successor.]
[Ti will rember all we have done.]
"Is this the ’Principal’s Code’? It’s so short..." Lin Yi gently touched the plastic-like cover, watching countless brilliant colors flow across its surface, their beauty breeding disbelief.
"Rather than a ’Principal’s Code,’ it’s more of advice from the ’Principal’ to a successor," Tian Bufan said, "Stop touching it, you don’t intend to beco the ’Principal,’ do you?"
Lin Yi slowly let go of his fingers but squinted, pondering aloud, "On so tiline, am I inheriting the position of ’Principal’ right now?"
Tian Bufan was silent.
Mao Feiyang was silent too.
Soon, Tian Bufan said, "’The Principal’ will return from the Grey Mist Sea."
Lin Yi pressed his lips, "Hmm... so, no one needs to succeed it, right?"
"That’s right." Tian Bufan affird.
"Do you still want to look? If not, I’ll close the drawer," Mao Feiyang said.
"No need," Lin Yi said.
If he were to beco the ’Principal,’ it would an he would remain here permanently.
As long as ’The Principal’ has the chance to return, he doesn’t need to take that step.
