Chapter 14 This item is destined for me!

Because he was entrusted with the task of protecting Mo Fan closely, Gojo Satoru spent the night lying on the sofa in Mo Fan's residence.

The next day, Mo Fan went straight to the Three-Step Tower to cultivate, which brought Gojo Satoru's close protection mission to an early end.

For a long time afterward, Gojo Satoru spent his time, utterly bored, in the healing-themed classroom with a group of girls.

This situation continued until Mo Fan emerged from the Three-Step Tower. Strangely, the people in the shadows never attacked Mo Fan, which meant that Gojo Satoru could only follow him.

……

As time passed, the day of the main campus assessment arrived before we knew it.

The geniuses who entered Pearl Academy all understood that only by stepping into the main campus could they become true students of Pearl Academy!

At today's school-wide assembly, Dean Xiao was uncharacteristically cold and ruthless, no longer showing the same kindness and compassion towards students as before.

These cruel remarks shattered the dreams of all the students, and then it was announced that any student from the Qing Campus who could not break through to the intermediate level within three years would be expelled from Mingzhu Academy.

This news left the students who were indulging in decadence and despair stunned. However, before they could even process it, Dean Xiao ruthlessly expelled all students below the intermediate level from this assessment.

Finally, the expelled students were labeled as mentally retarded, and their cold and indifferent tone fueled their resentment. They could only leave the place step by step with resentment and humiliation.

"Congratulations to those who stayed on and have entered the main campus of Pearl Academy."

Dean Xiao's tone changed, sounding just like the kind old professor who gave the freshman orientation that time.

Watching this maneuver of changing his expression without deducting points from the audience, Gojo Satoru couldn't help but sigh in admiration.

Life is truly like a play, and it all depends on changing one's expression!

The number of people who remained was about a thousand. In Gojo Satoru's perception, the quality of these people varied greatly. Some could not even be depicted on a star map, while others had already reached the second level.

"What about the assessment?"

"Yes, wasn't there supposed to be an assessment?"

"Dean Xiao, if there's no assessment, how will the rankings be determined? The teacher said that the first place winner will get the chance to enter the Three-Step Tower, the second and third place winners will receive magic weapon rewards, and the third to tenth place winners will also receive some rewards."

Immediately, some students raised objections.

Dean Xiao clearly anticipated such discussions. After everyone had finished their deliberations, he slowly pulled out a rolled-up instruction from his pocket.

"We received news a few days ago that the military was preparing to tame a shadow monster, but due to some unforeseen circumstances, one of the semi-tamed monsters escaped. It possesses some shadow-type abilities, but it will not attack humans. Your assessment is to capture the shadow monster."

After Dean Xiao announced the task, more than a thousand people started discussing it.

They had heard that the main campus assessment might be a chaotic battle, and they originally thought it would be a competition between students, but it turned out to be a military mission!

"Also, although the Shadow Beast will not attack unless provoked, its temperament will change drastically when attacked, making it quite dangerous. So all of you students should be extra careful."

"The student or team that captures and delivers the animal to the training cage will be rewarded!"

"If an individual completes the task, that individual will receive all the rewards. If a team completes the task, only five people will receive the same rewards."

The reward is an opportunity to enter the Three-Step Tower for training!

Dean Xiao announced all the contents and rewards of this assessment to everyone.

"The Three-Step Tower!!"

"Oh my god, it's a three-step tower!!!"

With the full details revealed, the more than 1,000 students were overjoyed, as if they had already secured their spots in the Three-Step Tower.

Gojo Satoru, leaning against Mo Fan, also felt a surge of excitement and asked with a puzzled look, "Why are you so excited?"

"Two hundred times the cultivation speed, wouldn't you be excited if that happened to you?" Mo Fan asked back.

"What? How much did you say!" Gojo Satoru picked at his ear, thinking he had misheard, and asked again.

"The third level is a full two hundred times!" Mo Fan said decisively.

Holy crap, this thing can directly compress the time spent in arduous training!

Thinking of this, Gojo Satoru's misty eyes lit up.

Good heavens, this is truly amazing!

This three-step tower can save me several months of arduous training, which is much more useful than using resources for arduous training.

It's obviously prepared especially for him!

Thinking of this, his gaze toward all the students present turned somewhat unfriendly.

Otherwise, we should deal with these competitors in advance to avoid any unforeseen circumstances.

However, this idea was quickly extinguished by Gojo Satoru.

Because Gojo Satoru could sense that Dean Xiao was looking at him with a smile, clearly attracted by the magical fluctuations from the Six Eyes that had just been activated.

"Wu, shall we capture it together?" Mo Fan couldn't hear Wu's inner thoughts, and only thought that Wu was shocked by the number two hundred times.

"Okay." Gojo Satoru came to his senses and nodded.

Eliminating all competitors in advance is obviously not an option, so let's take it one step at a time.

After the initial excitement of the more than one thousand people, some of the more intelligent students immediately asked Dean Xiao for clues, but unfortunately, Dean Xiao didn't reveal a single detail.

He left only the words, "Go and find it yourselves."

……

Gojo Satoru followed Mo Fan back to his apartment. Although he wanted the three-step tower spot, he didn't want to neglect protecting Mo Fan.

No one can find the Shadow Beast today, so there's no need to worry about anyone stealing your chicken.

"Wu, sit down for a while. I'll go find a friend to look up information on the Shadow Beast."

Mo Fan pulled out a chair for Gojo Satoru to sit on, then first checked the computer, and then made a phone call to ask for help.

"Mo Fan and Wu Tiao Wu, you two can team up for this assessment. Join our beautiful girl group!" The door was pushed open, and the other two owners of the apartment returned. A girl named Ai Tutu said with her hands on her hips.

Wu Tiao Wu only recently learned that Mo Fan was actually living with two girls.

"Ask Mo Fan."

Gojo Satoru believes that since he is currently in a state of being entrusted, he cannot agree to anything that might affect the entrustment during the period of his entrustment.

"You should find someone else," Mo Fan firmly refused, clearly having reservations.

Ai Tutu clearly wanted to say something more, but Mu Nujiao pulled her away.

"Mo Fan, are you worried that they might also be targeted by the Black Vatican?" Gojo Satoru asked with a curious look.

In his view, Mo Fan's relationship with these two people was definitely not that of ordinary friends.

"Yes." Mo Fan nodded heavily.

"Actually, there's no need to worry. As long as you stay by my side, whoever comes will die!"

"I believe in your abilities, but I can't let you take any more risks."

"Haha, Mo Fan, you sound a bit dejected."

"I don't want to experience the feeling of a friend dying next to me again, and I'm powerless to do anything about it."

"Understood!"
