"I've been out for over a month now. I wonder how the elves are doing, and whether my mother is worried about me." Sally walked along the street, preparing to go back to the Geya Hotel to tidy up the rooms. Although the hotel's wages were pitifully low, but it provided accommodation, and the landlady was very kind, so she still insisted on working two jobs everyday.
"Who was that elf from before? Did she really grow up outside the Wind Forest? From a young age, they said that elves outside the Wind Forest are all abandoned by the God of Life. They haven't received the God of Life's baptism or recognition, so they are ugly and weak. But today, that elf... I could sense that her strength was no weaker than mine, and she was also very beautiful. So who is lying?" Sally was filled with doubt. She hadn't encountered any other elves in the past month, and after discovering this question, she suddenly became interested in finding out more.
"Perhaps I can talk to her next time." Princess Irina had once said that the outside world was completely different from what they described, and these words were deeply etched in her heart. She made a silent resolution.

"I'm going to find Luna to have a meal at Restaurant Mai Mi later. Should I wear men's clothes today? Or women's clothes?" In the City Lord's Mansion, Vivian looked at the clothes in the wardrobe, lost in thought.
"I've got it! I'll wear men's clothes. That way, Boss Mai will give up on her and stop him from trying to win Luna's heart." After a while, Vivian snapped her fingers and chose a loose-fitting men's outfit from her wardrobe.

"Teacher Luna, Amy is so amazing! Can I learn magic too? I really want to learn."
"You can all learn magic, but you're still too young. You need to learn the basics first. Next year, you'll take a magic test. Those who pass the test can officially begin learning magic." Luna said with a smile, reaching out to pat the disappointed little boy's head, feeling a bit helpless herself.
Today, Amy single-handedly defeated the powerful people from the Mage Tower, instantly becoming a little hero of Chaos Academy. This also sparked a great interest in learning magic among many students, including younger children.
She'd had this kind of conversation at least ten times today, their enthusiasm was far higher than in previous years. The Magic Academy teachers should be very happy this year.
"Little Amy is truly amazing! She's only been learning magic for a month, yet she's already defeated such a formidable opponent. Mr. Mai Ge's judgment was absolutely correct. And she truly is a genius." Luna looked out the window, a smile on her face.
A letter arrived from Luo Du today. Her grandfather said that after research, the decimal system is indeed simpler and more convenient than the existing algorithms of the Los Empire. He is pushing for reforms in the number system and algorithms, and asked her to invite Mai Ge to Luo Du again. If Mai Ge still does not agree, he may come to Chaos City to see him in person after some time.

"Norvan, I heard you've been planning to expand Chaos Academy lately?" The Magic Academy meeting hadn't ended yet, but Crassus and Norvan had left early. As soon as they stepped out of the meeting room, Crassus looked at Norvan and asked with a smile.
"Yes, while Chaos Academy isn't small, but compared to the entire Chaos City, many children still don't have the opportunity to attend. Especially those children from poor families, for them, education is a chance to escape poverty, but they don't get that opportunity." Norvan nodded.
"How much expansion are you planning?" Crassus asked.
"We're still communicating with the City Lord's Mansion to see how much funding they can allocate. But Michael hasn't had it easy these past two years either. The construction of various facilities in Chaos City has basically drained the City Lord's Mansion's finances. I estimate they won't be able to come up with much money for Chaos Academy this time." Norvan's brows furrowed with worry, and the wrinkles on his face seemed to deepen at this moment.
"Come on, I'll show you something." Crassus looked at Norvan and walked ahead first.
"What is it?" Norvan asked.
"You'll see when we get there." Crassus said without turning his head.
"What's this?" Norvan followed Crassus into a room on the first floor of a magic teaching building in the Magic Academy. Looking at the wooden crates piled up in the room, almost filling the entire space, he asked curiously.
"Open them and see." Crassus said with a smile, keeping him in suspense.
Norvan gestured towards a wooden crate beside him, and the lid opened instantly. A glittering golden light shone from inside, revealing crates filled with gold coins, silver coins, and dragon coins.
"This?" Norvan's eyes showed a hint of surprise. With a wave of his hand, the lids of a row of boxes next to him opened. The boxes were full of coins, mostly gold coins, with silver coins and dragon coins mixed in. They glittered and seemed to brighten the whole room.
"You can take half of this money to expand the academy. Consider it a loan from me, interest free, no rush to pay it back." Crassus said with a smile.
"After all these years, I still owe you." Norvan said, looking at Crassus in silence for a moment, then with a touch of emotion.
"It's alright. I trust you. You'll definitely pay back what you owe." Crassus waved his hand dismissively, pointing to the gold coins. "The other half is for Little Amy. Building a magic room will cost a lot."
"Your name will be recorded in the history of Chaos Academy, Teacher Crassus." Norvan said with a smile, turning to walk towards the door. He added, "I'll have them come and tally the money as soon as possible. If construction starts now, it should be finished before the start of next semester, allowing us to expand enrollment next year."
"Sure enough, anything related to the students is more important than anything else. I was even thinking of having him treat me to a meal." Crassus shook his head helplessly, then also went out.
…
"Dracula, the final agreement of this meeting has been signed. Talus and I must return to our tribe to report. Would you like to come back with us?" Gustav asked Dracula loudly at the entrance of the City Lord's Mansion.
"No need. Our relationship isn't close enough to go home together, is it? Demons don't have many friends, especially among demons." Dracula said lazily, smiling at Gustav.
"That's true, farewell!" Talus nodded, stepped on the pig's head and climbed onto the back of the black boar. He lashed the boar's back with his whip and started running down the street, each step shaking the ground and attracting a lot of attention.
"Farewell." Gustav said, transforming into spiderman. A ripple appeared in the void, and he vanished in the blink of an eye.
"These guys have no sense of enjoyment at all. What's so fun about going back to the Demon Island? Of course, we should eat a few good meals before going back." Dracula scoffed, strolling slowly down the street, muttering, "Tofu pudding, here I come..."
