"Oh!" a gasp suddenly rang out.
Gu Yue had abruptly stopped without warning, and the person following close behind her, unable to react in time, bumped right into her back.
Gu Yue reacted quickly, instantly turning around and taking two steps back, her gaze sharp as she looked at the uninvited guest behind her.
What met her eyes was a lively and adorable young girl, brimming with youthful energy.
She had a head of playful pink short hair, and her blue-pink eyes were bright and spirited, as if holding a sky full of stars, blinking with curiosity and liveliness.
Dressed in a clever combination of pink and white, she stood tall and graceful, her pair of jade-white legs straight and long, gleaming softly in the sunlight.
Even more striking was the pink and white leg ring on her right thigh; that unique adornment added a touch of fashion and playfulness to her overall sweet style.
The pink-haired girl before her exuded a mischievous aura in every movement, surrounded by a lively and adorable atmosphere.
At this moment, she was covering her nose with both hands, tears welling up in her eyes, looking as wronged as could be.
Her beautiful blue-pink eyes seemed to silently question, Why did you suddenly stop? It hurts so much!
Gu Yue looked at the clear foolishness in her eyes and couldn't help but inwardly grumble. She had just thought it was some important figure who could approach her without a sound. It seemed she had overthought it.
Perhaps her spirit hadn't fully recovered, coupled with the murmuring of students around her and the curious glances, which prevented her from noticing someone approaching.
Otherwise, how could this seemingly silly and cute person silently approach her without being discovered?
"Are you alright?" Gu Yue's expression was calm, her tone faint, betraying little emotion.
"Boohoo! I'm fine, I'm fine, it's my fault for following too closely!" The pink-haired girl rubbed her slightly reddened nose. Her wronged expression instantly vanished, replaced by a bright and unreserved smile.
Immediately after, she spoke familiarly, "Hi there, my name is March 7th, and like you, I'm also an S-rank student!"
"Gu Yue." Gu Yue was a woman of few words, her tone still very indifferent.
She muttered to herself, if all S-rank students were like this March 7th, then the prestige of S-rank students would definitely be questionable.
"Wow! Why are you so cold!" March 7th had eagerly anticipated a surprised or enthusiastic reaction from Gu Yue, but got nothing, leaving her feeling utterly deflated.
However, this feeling of dejection was fleeting. March 7th quickly resumed her enthusiastic demeanor: "Never mind, never mind, we'll all be companions from now on. This lady is magnanimous, so I won't bother with you! I'll take you to our class."
With that, she boldly took Gu Yue's hand and pulled her towards the teaching building, her warmth as if they were old friends who had known each other for years.
The two arrived at the top floor of the teaching building, where there was only one classroom, exclusively for S-rank students.
Normally, other students were forbidden from entering the top floor.
"Ta-da, look who I brought!" March 7th suddenly pushed open the classroom door and strode in, pulling Gu Yue along.
In an instant, several gazes converged, falling simultaneously on Gu Yue and March 7th.
Gu Yue looked up. Besides her and March 7th, there were five other people in the classroom.
"Hello, I'm Robin. Did little March cause you any trouble?" A girl with light purple long hair stood up. Her demeanor was elegant, and her words conveyed gentleness.
She wore an apologetic smile as she spoke to Gu Yue.
"Boohoo, how could I cause trouble for anyone! You agree, right, Gu Yue?" March 7th immediately pouted, her delicate pink lips practically capable of hanging an oil bottle.
Then, she looked at Gu Yue with anticipation, hoping Gu Yue would speak up for her.
"Indeed, quite troublesome." Gu Yue's expression was calm, her tone unchanging, but this single sentence was like a heavy hammer, directly "sinking" March 7th.
March 7th seemed to have all her strength drained away, her entire being instantly "grayed out," as if she had suffered a tremendous blow.
"Wuwuwu, I've been bullied, Jinhsi I need comfort!" March 7th cried, her face crumpled, and she sprinted towards a gentle and dignified silver-haired girl not far away.
Jinhsi smiled warmly as March 7th rushed towards her.
Her eyes were filled with indulgence as she reached out, gently patting March 7th's back, softly comforting her.
Gu Yue's gaze also fell upon the silver-haired girl. Her silver hair was styled into two fresh and natural ponytails, and even rarer were her clear, bright light-colored eyes and ethereal, transcendent beauty.
The silver-haired girl wore a black ultra-short skirt liner, with an outer garment adorned with moon-white accents. The cut was unique, primarily in white and black, decorated with golden trim and patterns. The front left of the outer garment, from the waist to the hem, was adorned with a golden dragon tail.
Gu Yue felt a strong, yet very unfamiliar, True Dragon aura from the silver-haired girl. This was incredibly surprising, considering she was formed from the Dragon God's creation divine spark. In this star system, which belonged to the Douluo Divine Realm, there were few dragons she didn't recognize.
"You're Gu Yue, right? Welcome to St. Freya Academy. Let me introduce you. With you, we now have seven people in our class." Robin, like an understanding older sister, began to introduce them to Gu Yue with a warm and gentle smile.
She raised her hand, pointing to March 7th and Jinhsi, and said, "You should already know little March. The one next to her is Jinhsi."
Jinhsi, hearing the introduction, politely gave Gu Yue a gentle and dignified smile and softly said, "Hello, I'm Jinhsi."
"Hello!" Gu Yue nodded slightly in response.
Robin then pointed to the other side, where a silver-haired girl was heartily devouring a small cake in front of her.
She ate with relish, her cheeks puffed out, looking like a greedy little hamster, utterly adorable.
Robin smiled and introduced, "That's Firefly. She's particularly fond of, well, food!"
"Hello, Gu Yue, do you want some?" Firefly mumbled, her mouth still full of cake.
As she spoke, she reluctantly picked up a small cake, extending her arm as far as it could reach, as if to offer it to Gu Yue.
But the distance between them was quite far; the small cake was at least five meters away from Gu Yue.
Gu Yue looked at the impossibly distant small cake, her lips twitching involuntarily, feeling a little speechless. She could only say, "Thank you, I'm not hungry."
Although Firefly seemed to want to share, her sincerity might not have been very strong!
