Hearing Vincent's words, the smile on the beautiful face of the short-haired girl with golden hair vanished. She couldn't help but punch Vincent on the shoulder, though the force was naturally lightened many times, even lighter than that of an average girl her age… "Hmph!"
Gwen, indicating she was very angry, continued forward, tapping her black boots, and gracefully passed by Vincent, her whole being exuding the aura of youthful vitality.
Looking at the skirt that swayed incessantly as she ran and jumped, and the pair of vibrant, fair, and slender beautiful legs beneath it.
Vincent suddenly recalled the excellent sensation he felt on the school bus earlier—it was even more vibrant, lustrous, and smooth than it looked… "Do you want compensation?" Vincent subconsciously blurted out, only to regret it immediately.
Gwen, walking in front, instantly flushed, and a little heat immediately rose from her golden hair. She clearly remembered what happened in the car last time, which made it difficult for even her, usually so composed, to maintain her composure.
"Are you trying to make me bite you again?!" Gwen gritted her silver teeth, turning back to glare at Vincent, displeased.
"Being bitten by a beautiful female Spider is fine, too." Vincent spread his hands, saying, uncharacteristically, something sensible.
"I won't bite. Don't make me sound so violent." Gwen spat, but despite her words, her beautiful, delicate face had already cleared from a frown.
So easy to coax… Vincent naturally dared not voice his thoughts. He looked around; at this moment, many pedestrians on the road cast strange glances at the two of them.
Vincent gestured, "Um, can we not talk about 'biting' anymore?"
Gwen, with a flushed face, hesitated for a moment, then suddenly walked over to Vincent, cupped her hands like a megaphone, and leaned close to his ear, barely managing to say, "If you want to touch, come to my house this weekend…"
Now this is a true brother!
Vincent had to admit that, at that moment, his heart was completely moved.
However, he quickly pulled a long face again.
Vincent feared that if he really did that, a certain police officer might not be able to resist going wild!
...On the way, Vincent and Gwen continued towards school together.
However, Vincent had something new on him that caught the attention of his childhood friend, Gwen, beside him: "Vincent, what is that?"
Gwen's curious gaze fell on the backpack behind Vincent.
It was a small glass bottle hanging on the backpack's zipper, containing a pink, jellyfish-like object the size of a single golf ball. The pink object looked adorable and remained motionless inside the slightly swaying glass bottle.
"Oh, that's… little Guan Luo, it's an ornament," Vincent said casually.
"Who is an ornament?"
An invisible thought continued to ring in Vincent's mind.
At this moment, in the empty house, a slightly larger glass jar sat in the corner of the balcony. A palm-sized starfish lay inside the jar, basking warmly in the Sun, and suddenly opened its deep blue central eye.
Yes.
The small jellyfish-like object on Vincent, which resembled an ornament, was a split-off part of a Starro clone, and also one of its eyes and mental reception platforms.
Having been trapped in Jotunheim for so long, Starro insisted that Vincent take its small clone to see what the outside World looked like.
The World is so big, it wants to see it… Vincent and Gwen entered the school side by side.
Vincent scanned the vast campus. The teaching and office buildings had been renovated, and everything exuded a fresh, new aura. After the previous Lizard monster incident on campus, the atmosphere in the school was still a bit unsettled.
Moreover, many counselors and Dr.s had gone missing or resigned, leading to a significant shortage of school faculty.
Thus, for the first class in the morning, as Vincent expected, the muscular, somewhat burly Counselor Roth Harrington, holding his usual water cup with a picture of the Silver-Haired Goddess, walked onto the podium and once again introduced the newly hired assistant counselor.
"Now, let's give a warm welcome to—Ms. Felicia, who will be your class's assistant counselor!"
Amidst Counselor Roth's impassioned words and the enthusiastic applause of the students, a girl with rare silver-white hair hurried onto the podium. She was around twenty-two years old, dressed in a neat white long-sleeved shirt and black suit trousers, with a pair of women's low-heeled boots on her feet, revealing only a small section of overly fair ankles. An intern assistant teacher's ID badge hung on her chest.
Her features were delicate and gentle, her figure tall and slender, and her appearance was no less stunning than that of Counselor Natasha, who had only worked for a few days last time.
However, compared to Natasha's mature charm, the new female counselor, consistent with her youthful appearance, seemed very awkward and unnatural.
Simply put, rather than a counselor, she looked more like a fair-skinned, beautiful, long-legged older sister from next door.
Under the gaze of many classmates, Felicia took a deep breath and said nervously, "Hello, everyone. I… am Felicia Hardy. I will be Counselor Roth's assistant and your assistant counselor from now on… Ah, please take care of me!"
"Hello, Counselor Felicia!" Many students enthusiastically called out in unison, and some naughtier students whistled, which made Felicia even more flustered.
"Hahaha," Counselor Roth laughed heartily, as if to smooth things over. "Counselor Felicia is still a university student at the State University and is just interning here at the school. She's like your senior, so don't bully her."
While Counselor Roth was helping with the introduction, Vincent, below the stage, looked at the new counselor and suddenly lowered his voice, saying, "Guan Luo, does she have supernatural abilities?"
A mental thought quickly emanated from the jellyfish glass ornament hanging on his backpack under the desk: "No, she is just an ordinary person."
"Are you sure?" Vincent confirmed again, also in light of the previous incident.
"There's no mistake, she is indeed just an ordinary human," Guan Luo, Starro's clone, affirmed.
Compared to Gwen, who could only judge through her Spider-Sense, Starro could directly determine whether someone possessed supernatural abilities by gauging the strength of their mind.
When Starro was at its strongest, it could even directly peek into others' thoughts and desires!
"That's good." Vincent secretly breathed a sigh of relief. His requirements for the assistant counselor were not high now; as long as she wasn't supernatural, it was fine.
After finishing her self-introduction, Felicia stood quietly at the side of the classroom, diligently taking notes, truly appearing to be an ordinary intern teacher.
Counselor Roth continued, "Oh, by the way. The school has now contacted a new Professor, whose name seems to be 'Adrian Toomes.' He is a renowned electronic engineer in New York, and in the future, he will temporarily take over your chemistry lab classes…"
Vincent listened for a moment and then stopped paying attention. For him, who wanted to study well, as long as the Professor didn't suddenly transform into a Lizard monster, or grow mechanical octopus tentacles from his back, or turn into a man-eating panther, it was all good.
That's not asking for too much, is it?
