"Samuel, top student, let's go too. There are only ten minutes left until 9:30." Richard immediately prepared to set out when he saw the situation.

  "You two go first. I have some questions I want to ask the homeroom teacher." William wasn't anxious at all, as he was no longer in the demi-god protection period.

  "Richard, let's go first." Samuel exchanged a glance with William and headed toward the classroom door.

  Seeing Samuel depart, Richard quickly said to William, "Then I'll go ahead too, ace student. Hurry up." He immediately followed Samuel.

  In just three minutes, only William remained in the classroom.

  "Student, why aren't you leaving? There's only seven minutes left!" Lex noticed William still sitting and promptly reminded him.

  "Hello Lex, I'm William. I've already exited the protection period, and my divine realm is stable and relatively safe, so there's no rush." William stood up to explain when Lex noticed him.

  He continued, "Lex, I want to understand—aside from safety guarantees, what specific benefits does immediately teleporting back to the safe zone offer for divine realm development?"

  Hearing this, Lex studied the pale, slender student who seemed rarely exposed to sunlight. He slowly approached William and explained, "Normally, returning to the safe zone grants immediate access to school resources—ten various resource cards."

  Did you know this text is from a different site? Read the official version to support the creator.

  "During the three months before assessments, I help identify shortcomings in your divine realm, plan development directions, and lay solid foundations..."

  William immediately dismissed the idea of returning after hearing this. Ten ordinary resource cards meant little compared to conquering a demi-god's territory. As for developmental guidance, he doubted any teacher could improve his swarm's evolution blueprint.

  "Lex, can those resource cards be transferred through the Divine Communication Network?" William requested remote transfer, unwilling to waste a precious long-distance teleportation card worth 5,000 divine power for mere 1,000-value resources.

  "You don't plan to return to civilization's safe zone?" Lex smiled, having anticipated this.

  "Correct. Staying here better serves my development," William confirmed.

  "Sit," Lex gestured, taking a seat himself. "Your信徒must be formidable then. How many invasions since exiting protection?"

  William paused. Considering his intensive two-year campaigns—though retreating once against elves—he modestly answered, "Over ten."

  "What?! Ten successful invasions?" Lex's eyebrows shot up in surprise. "You won every time? What supernatural species is your core?"

  "Not every victory. Losses occurred," William admitted. "They're mutated beasts—common-grade creatures." He described his strongest combat units,(raptors), as mutated beasts to avoid explaining(swarm) concepts.

  "Common-grade? Surviving ten invasions is impressive!" Lex's initial excitement faded. "Still, I advise returning. The gap between common and supernatural species is insurmountable in early stages."

  William recalled encountering supernatural species—formidable but not invincible. "I understand, but I'll stay."

  "Very well," Lex conceded. "I'll send resource card coordinates via the Divine Network. But you must return for the quarterly assessment—it determines senior-year resource allocations and selects candidates for inter-school tournaments."

  His tone turned grave. "Performing well could earn university recommendation letters. Regional competitions might secure top university admissions. This isn't optional."
