"Uh..." Karls was completely confused, but perhaps not wanting to leave a bad impression on this girl, he helplessly moved aside and took a seat at the back of the class.
"Now, let's proceed with the usual class meeting!" Mr. Zhou, the teacher, said as calmly as he could. Though he was dealing with a big shot, as the homeroom teacher, he still had to maintain his position.
"Why does it feel like... the troubles are just going to keep piling up?" Luo Qi sighed in resignation. He felt like he should consider transferring schools because when these two forces collided, nothing good could come of it. The reason he came to this ordinary public school was to avoid situations like this.
After all, the descendants of the hero family were supposed to be exceptional and should be attending the best schools in the world.
In fact, when Luo Qi had investigated before, the information he gathered showed that girls like Zhao Shishi typically attended the Federation's most prestigious school, the Saint Tsinya Imperial Academy. It was an ultra-luxurious and top-tier school with everything from elementary to university levels. This academy was the best in the Federation, attracting the finest teachers and the brightest students from all the countries under the Federation's jurisdiction.
The entire school was divided into elite and regular departments. The elite department was said to be so extravagant it resembled a palace, with each student having their own personal teacher.
Normally, even these second-generation heirs would need to go through strict testing to be admitted. But because of their bloodline advantages, the difficulty of admission was clearly lower.
And the most famous part of this school was its principal: the Elf Grand Mage Edred, a core member of the hero team that defeated the previous Demon King.
Although Edred, the Elf Grand Mage, was over 800 years old, she was still considered young by elf standards, given their average lifespan of nearly 2,000 years. She was stunningly beautiful, rivaling Zhao Shishi in appearance, and had the mature, domineering aura of an older woman.
It was said that this elf had a crush on Zhao Shishi's ancestor, but because the ancestor chose the prince instead, Edred held a grudge. She never married and even remained a virgin—probably the most famous elf "old virgin" in the world.
As for how Luo Qi knew so much about this Elf "old virgin," it was simple: this extravagant school had once invited Luo Lin for a special recruitment test, and Edred herself had come to personally extend the invitation. She seemed to have high hopes for Luo Lin's future and even wanted to take her as a personal disciple.
But, as expected, Luo Lin rejected the highest-level invitation without hesitation, choosing to stay with her brother. This rejection had caused quite a stir at the time, but now, apparently, the Elf principal regretted not pressing harder to recruit Luo Lin, given her immense potential.
Now, Zhao Shishi had transferred from such a prestigious school to this place, and Luo Qi couldn't shake the feeling that this school was about to become famous. After all, Luo Lin was also a graduate of this school.
How could two big shots be linked to such an ordinary public school? If he told anyone, they probably wouldn't believe it!
It just goes to show, the quality of a school doesn't always guarantee a student's future.
But now that Zhao Shishi had transferred, Luo Qi worried that it might attract even more attention. So, he decided to remain calm and not rush into anything.
After thinking it through, the best course of action was still to focus on his goal of leading an ordinary life and distance himself from the events unfolding at this school.
It was the same strategy he used when dealing with the Elf "old virgin" who had once suspected him. Back then, even though he was still in elementary school, she had sent someone to monitor him, seemingly suspecting that he had something extraordinary about him. That was why Luo Lin was unwilling to leave her brother.
At that time, Luo Lin's attempts to lie were awkward at best and surely didn't escape the "old virgin's" eyes.
Unlike him, who had been well-practiced in lying and remained completely calm.
With this decision, Luo Qi managed to regain his usual calm demeanor.
But the students around him weren't as calm. To be precise, the entire school was far from calm.
Sure enough, after morning exercises, when the first class ended, his seat was surrounded by a crowd. Even outside the classroom, students gathered, making it difficult for Luo Qi to even squeeze through and leave the area.
It wasn't clear who spread the word, but the news of the "hero's granddaughter" arriving at the school spread like wildfire. Even older students rushed to catch a glimpse of this girl.
The most exaggerated thing was that this crowd of spectators remained throughout lunch, with a group of boys seemingly unable to get enough. They rushed over right after class, as if they'd heard that a fan club had already started forming.
However, by lunchtime, it wasn't that they didn't want to keep watching; it was just that Zhao Shishi's bodyguards had intervened to maintain order, effectively "scaring" the students away.
The reason her bodyguards appeared around noon was simple: Zhao Shishi had made an unbelievable move—she was eating a luxurious feast right in the classroom. With her personal maid serving her and a top-tier chef preparing her gourmet lunch on-site, it was as extravagant as it got.
Of course, Zhao Shishi knew how to win people over. To show goodwill and smooth over the disparity, she had prepared exquisite desserts for everyone in the class. She even promised that from now on, she'd be supplying sweet treats to her classmates every day, a special benefit for the class.
This made the girls in the class ecstatic, as the desserts she provided were described as being made by a dream-level pastry chef. According to them, these sweets were a hundred times more delicious than the limited edition ones sold outside!
"Hey... Benjamin, does your family have anyone like that?" Luo Qi frowned and asked. To be honest, even as the Demon King, it was his first time encountering such an exaggerated situation. As expected, the lifestyle of the upper class was completely different from his "ordinary" life.
"Well... I have to admit, my family does have someone like that... My sister, for example, is just like that. Luckily, she's been attending a mage school, and it's common there for mages to have private chefs and maids," Benjamin said nonchalantly, chewing on a massive steak from his plate. He apparently ate 5 kilograms of premium beef a day to build his powerful physique... From a certain perspective, this guy was incredibly extravagant.
