Standing in the middle of the road, they were very conspicuous, especially the petite girl surrounded by them. Seeing the frightened expression on her face, everyone understood that she must have been bullied.

"What...I want to know...the way..."

"What did you say? Speak louder, please?"

"I-I'm sorry!"

"What are you doing!"

They were attracted by the sudden shout from behind, and several older students turned their heads together, their eyes all focused.

Huh?

They didn't see the owner of the voice, just a bit of red at the bottom of their vision.

Lowering their gaze, they saw a little girl with a serious expression staring at them. She had a small upturned nose, two eyebrows standing straight, a V-shaped bangs in the middle of her forehead, bright red eyes with flickering flames deep inside, very beautiful.

Seeing Allen's serious little face, several older students blinked their eyes, some with doubt, some with confusion, some with surprise.

A pair of eyes confronted several pairs of eyes, and the atmosphere became inexplicably tense. Nina and Mia, who were following behind, felt the tension and became nervous, thinking something was about to happen.

After five seconds of confrontation, one of the older girls walked out and directly placed her hand on Allen's head.

"What a petite girl. Little sister, what's your name? Why did you come here? Are you a junior student? So cute."

She rubbed Allen's head unscrupulously, completely ignoring Allen's raised little nose. This older girl only cared about herself, rubbing and messing up Allen's hair.

"Don't touch Allen!"

Allen swiftly slapped the girl's hand away, but she did not give up and reached out again to touch. Her skill was so proficient, she must be a repeat offender!

"Your hair is so soft."

The second older girl also approached and joined in the head-touching attack.

"What are you going to do to Allen, meow?"

"Oh, there's a Sphinx orc here. Your fluffy cat ears are so cute, and your fur too."

"Your cat eyes are so beautiful, like gemstones."

"The triangular nose is also very cute."

Mia intended to help Allen out, but as soon as she stepped forward, these older students immediately looked at her with greedy eyes, making her feel a chilling sensation.

Her instinct told her something was wrong!

The two older girls who were originally touching Allen seemed to teleport and suddenly appeared beside Mia, raising their twitching hands on both sides.

"What do you want to do...don't touch Mia casually..."

"Cat ears are the best! Do you want to come to my house and be my child? You can eat whatever food you want and wear whatever clothes you want."

"No!...Can I really eat anything, meow?"

"Of course, I guarantee that every day you'll be so full you won't be able to move."

"That sounds pretty good, meow."

As Mia hesitated, this older girl continued to increase the temptation to lure Mia to her house. Mia soon revealed a drooling cat face, completely moved by her.

"Mia, you glutton, don't be easily deceived. Aren't you the proud Sphinx? Do you want to be kept like a house cat?"

Reminded by Nina, Mia finally came to her senses and wiped off the drool from the corner of her mouth with the back of her hand, saying seriously:

"That's right, meow, Mia is the proud Sphinx. The idea of trying to tempt Mia with food is too despicable. Mia won't be easily fooled, meow!"

"How about being able to eat Crimsonean grilled meat freely every day?"

"Crimsonean grilled meat?!!!"

Both of Mia's cat ears instantly stood up, her eyes sparkling with hope, and saliva flowed uncontrollably from the corners of her mouth. Nina, who was behind her, couldn't help but cover her forehead with her hand, thinking that this gluttonous cat was beyond help.

After having won over Mia, this older girl was still not satisfied and looked at Allen again.

"Do you want to become my child too? You can wear whatever clothes you want. The white stockings you're wearing are from Lakeside, right? I have a lot of Lakeside clothes at home."

"Laejin's fashion clothing!"

Allen had a very uncertain expression, with his eyes wide open.

"No, this won't do. Allen is my daughter, I won't give her to anyone," said Allen's father with determination.

The chaotic scene only stopped when Kloke spoke up to mediate.

Everyone's gaze turned towards Kloke and Antavia as they approached.

"Teacher Kloke, so this lovely girl is your daughter. No wonder, Teacher Kloke," Mariana greeted Kloke with excitement, pretending to have just met him, while holding her skirt with both hands, slightly bowing her body and lowering her head in a very standard noble etiquette.

Mariana Petti Sodoft, from the advanced class, was a famous figure in Hildaran College, known as the Golden Beauty.

Not only was she the eldest daughter of the famous noble Sodoft family in the south, but she also possessed a stunning appearance that made most women jealous and boys admire. With an elegant figure, extensive knowledge, outstanding abilities, and impeccable character, she became a well-known figure in the college.

"So you're the rumored Flame Goddess, the talented girl currently in the limelight at Hildaran College."

Only then did several senior students notice Allen's identity, changing their expressions from looking at a cute little animal to seriously scrutinizing Allen.

And under their scrutiny, Allen put on a serious face again.

"Although I've heard that the Flame Goddess is a very cute girl, it still exceeded my expectations. Such delicate features and skin as rosy as cherry blossoms," one senior sister commented.

"Yeah, little Allen is super, super, super adorable. I've become a fan of little Allen," another senior sister added.

After a moment of solemnity, the senior sisters continued to compliment Allen's cuteness just like before, patting her head and pinching her cheeks, treating her as if she were a doll.

This made Allen very unhappy!

...

"We'll leave this new student to you, little Allen, little Mia, little Nina, and Teacher Kloke, Teacher Antavia," Mariana said.

Mariana should be the central figure among this group of people. After she turned and left, the others followed suit.

"..."

Allen and Mia, who remained behind, had disheveled hair and clothes. Mia, still immersed in fear, murmured to herself, "Don't touch Mia's ears and tail," while trembling and hugging the cat ears on her head. Her tail was wrapped around her waist and hidden, her cute cat face filled with fear.

In reality, only Mariana and the other girls would touch them without permission. Their father didn't allow anyone other than himself to casually touch his precious daughters.

Allen and Mia had already recovered. The group continued to make their way to the cafeteria, with Katie following along as she had been invited.

Katie was somewhat cautious, with stiff movements, constantly stealing glances at Allen and the others from behind.
