Lydia had intended to mention hunting, but remembering Bai Ye's earlier reminder to be gentle, she quickly changed her words.
"Lydia? What a lovely name!"
"It sounds like I've heard it somewhere before, it feels so familiar."
"I remember, I remember! My parents love watching a big brother named 'Ye' stream. It's Big Brother Bai Ye, his magic is amazing."
"Oh? It's him, my parents love watching too, and I like it. So you're his sister!"
"Classmate Lydia, can I be friends with you?"
"I want to be your good friend too!"
...
Knowing Lydia's identity, the students in Class 1, Third Grade, didn't have the same reservations as the adults, their eyes filled with admiration.
Students with empty seats beside them enthusiastically invited Lydia to be their deskmate. In an instant, Lydia became the most prominent presence in Class 1, Third Grade.
"Cough, cough!!"
Seeing the female teacher in a dazed, infatuated state, Principal Dong coughed heavily. The female teacher only then snapped back to reality, her face flushing instantly.
"Hmm~ So, Classmate Lydia, look at the empty seats in the classroom, where would you like to sit?"
Lydia glanced around the classroom and pointed to an empty seat next to a short-haired girl in the middle.
"Then, can I sit there?"
"Wow! Yay!" The short-haired little girl's face turned bright red when Lydia pointed at her. She finally had a deskmate, and a very cute one at that!
Seeing Lydia point to the short-haired girl, the female teacher suggested, "Classmate Lydia, have you settled in? Would you prefer a seat closer to the front?"
That short-haired girl was named Si Jiujiu, a chatterbox who often got distracted. Many students who were focused on their studies didn't want to be her deskmate.
She feared that Si Jiujiu might corrupt Lydia, making Bai Ye unhappy. She also hoped to learn more about her idol through Lydia.
If this got out, she was the teacher, the homeroom teacher, of Big Brother Ye's sister! How glorious would that be! Thinking of this, the female teacher felt a swell of pride.
"No, I'll choose that seat," Lydia refused. The other empty seats were occupied by boys, and she wasn't very fond of them.
The female teacher looked at the smiling Principal Dong, then glanced at Bai Ye. Seeing Bai Ye smiling and looking her way, she momentarily ignored Principal Dong's hint.
"Alright, alright~ Then you can go!"
"Classmate Si Jiujiu, you must not bully the new classmate!"
The female teacher gave Si Jiujiu a slight glare.
"Okay! Teacher, don't worry, I would never bully Classmate Lydia. We'll be best friends!" Si Jiujiu completely disregarded the teacher's warning, waving enthusiastically at Lydia.
"Lydia, hurry up! I've already cleaned your desk and chair for you." In just this short while, Si Jiujiu had already efficiently tidied up the desk and chair.
Students around them cast curious and envious glances!
"Mhm!"
Lydia walked to the empty seat. Si Jiujiu's eyes were full of joy and excitement.
"My name is Si Jiujiu, and I'm your deskmate from now on. If anyone bullies you, tell me, and I'll beat them to a pulp!" Si Jiujiu patted her chest confidently.
Lydia looked at her deskmate with curiosity and seriousness. She couldn't feel any trace of magic from her, yet she spoke more dominantly than her own brother.
So, she asked doubtfully, "Are you very powerful?"
Si Jiujiu replied without thinking, "Of course! Hmph! In school, those mischievous classmates also call me the Little Tyrant!"
"Wow!" Lydia exclaimed in surprise. This Little Tyrant must be quite formidable, right?
The female teacher brought over a stack of books for Lydia. Seeing that the two were chattering incessantly from the moment they met, completely disregarding classroom discipline, the female teacher felt a bit of a headache but couldn't scold them.
She could only say in a gentle tone, "Classmate Lydia, these are your books. If you don't understand anything, feel free to ask the teacher, or ask your classmates!"
"Mhm. Thank you!" Lydia looked at her textbooks with a look of wonder.
Si Jiujiu then assured the teacher, "Teacher, don't worry, I'll teach Lydia well!"
It's you I'm worried about! The female teacher felt a bit dejected and warned with a glare, "Be quiet during class."
"Okay, Teacher!" Si Jiujiu readily agreed, but the next second she was already asking Lydia beside her.
"Lydia, is Great Magician Bai Ye really your brother?"
Lydia nodded and pointed outside. "Yes! Brother is outside."
"Wow! Really? Big Brother is really here too?" Si Jiujiu exclaimed, standing up to look out the window.
You darn girl!!! The female teacher was about to lose it.
"Big Brother Bai Ye is right outside?"
"The Super Magician is outside?" The classmates next to them had been eavesdropping and were now also looking out the windows.
"Wow! He's really here, and Principal Uncle is here too!"
"Big Brother, Big Brother, can you perform some magic?"
"Big Brother, we want to see your magic show!"
"Mom and Dad say that Big Brother's magic shows are rarely seen."
In an instant, the classroom descended into chaos. Many lively and bold children were already peeking out from the doorways and windows.
"Bai Ye? Brother Ye!!"
"Wow wow! It's Brother Ye!!"
Teachers from the neighboring classrooms also couldn't help but exclaim when they recognized the figure.
"Mr. Bai, Miss Lydia has been arranged. Shall we go?" Seeing that the situation was about to get out of control, Principal Dong hurriedly and smilingly invited Bai Ye to leave.
"What are you worried about?" Bai Ye asked. Before Principal Dong could answer, he added, "No matter how miraculous magic is, as long as it brings joy and safety to people, isn't that reasonable and scientific?"
Principal Dong's pupils widened. Bai Ye's words seemed to be an admission of something to him.
Bai Ye looked at the vibrant children and then said to himself, "Perhaps, this primary school can become a magic base in the future."
Principal Dong was even more shocked. A magic base? Can our students learn it too?
"You!" Principal Dong trembled with excitement. "If you are willing, our school would like to specially appoint you as a magic teacher!"
Bai Ye shook his head.
He couldn't yet teach people 'magic' similar to his own, but cyborgs and superhumans were likely to become widespread. Coupled with the use of various demon-breaking weapons and continued in-depth research, they might even stand a chance against the magic of the Tethys world in the future.
However, this would require the efforts of generations to eliminate the condescending attitude of the Tethys world towards Blue Star! This was destined to be a prolonged confrontation.
He planned to make this primary school a priority user of the mineral water from the ranch. He still had some leverage for that.
Bai Ye strode to the classroom door and appeared before over thirty children.
He took off his mask, revealing his handsome and familiar face.
"Wow!!"
The children were amazed. Although they were young, they naturally knew what handsome was! The biggest reaction, however, came from his fanatical fan, the female teacher, who let out an uncontrolled scream.
"What magic do the children want to see?"
Bai Ye asked softly.
"I want to see lightning magic!"
"It's been a while since I've seen fireworks, I want to see fireworks!"
"I want to see a fire person and an ice person dancing together!"
...
The children chimed in with their ideas in a babble of voices, while smiling anxiously and apologetically. Mr. Bai, take it easy! Our school and the children are very fragile!
