C7 The Goddess Wants to Compensate Me

Bale's smile was radiant. "Senior, have we met the requirements to join the Dawn Society?"

Lin Luo dismissed the concern with a wave of his hand. "You scraped by. As of now, you're members of the Dawn Society. If anyone at the academy gives you trouble, just drop my name."

Su Xiaoyu covered her face in disbelief.

How had he never noticed before that their president was so unabashedly shameless?

Maybe after school, they should drag Lin Luo to the small woods behind the academy for a lesson in humility.

Bale nodded in agreement.

Only someone extraordinary could endure an hour in the gravity room.

He suspected Lin Luo's actions at the academy were merely an attempt to stay under the radar.

And as for that claim of a three-point increase in Spiritual Energy growth?

Pure baloney.

Bale was confident he could achieve it too if he wanted. All it would take was to push his Spiritual Energy to its limit during the test and carefully manage its release.

True genius isn't determined by a number—it's forged in the crucible of trials.

Lin Luo then turned to Gu Ritian with a helpless shrug. "Boss Ritian, you've seen my predicament. If the Dawn Society doesn't take them in, the dean will shut us down and kick us out. Let me know when you're planning to leap from the rooftop, will you?"

Gu Ritian's face flushed with embarrassment.

No one had anticipated they'd be strong-armed into joining the Dawn Society by the dean's decree.

This would make Gu Ritian the academy's standing joke.

Yet he stayed put, even as President Serena was swiftly approaching.

Lin Luo was puzzled by his reluctance to leave. Was he still hoping for a reversal of fortunes?

Just then, Selina made her entrance, flanked by her entourage.

Lin Luo did a double-take. He recognized her from somewhere.

She was the one who had obstructed his path the day before.

Yu had mentioned she was the president of the Thorns Society—the school's enigmatic powerhouse.

The Goddess's presence sent the school plaza into a frenzy, particularly among the queue of Thorns Society hopefuls.

Many had sought membership solely because of her allure.

Selina approached Bale with a charming smile. "I truly didn't expect you to opt for the Dawn Society."

Selina glanced at the dean's announcement and felt a surge of shock.

The spiritual energy of this girl had soared to 9.4, surpassing even the formidable Alex Bell.

Such talent was rare, even among the Psionic Academies of the Empire's seven fortress cities, where few reached a spiritual energy growth of 9.4.

Yet, she had received no prior information about this extraordinary newcomer at the Psionic Academy.

Nor could she fathom the stroke of luck that had befallen the Dawn Society.

Her gaze shifted to Lin Luo, who jumped at her attention.

He was cornered; after all, how could he contend with such formidable figures?

Out of the blue, Selina proposed, "President Lin Luo, dissolve the Dawn Society, and have all its members join the Thorns Society. Whatever compensation you desire, I'm willing to grant it."

Lin Luo froze for a solid three seconds, his cheeks flushing slightly, "President Serena, that seems inappropriate. I'm not one to make decisions lightly."

Selina's patience was wearing thin.

What on earth was he thinking?

Did he take her for someone frivolous?

The entire Academy Plaza was seething with anger. Lin Luo had the audacity to disrespect the Goddess.

They were ready to pounce at her command, ready to rip Lin Luo to shreds.

Biting back her fury, Selina clarified, "I mean to say, I can offer you money, combat skills, spiritual energy training methods, and even a position in my family's enterprise after you graduate."
