"The Three Kings Alliance and the Rose Spider Queen, I need to find a way to take care of them."

Chloe made up her mind silently.

...

The next day.

"Oh, senior."

That day, after handling some affairs, Chloe ran into Miseria on the road.

Miseria instinctively dodged for a moment, but seeing Chloe had already recognized her, she could only freeze in place.

"Don't you have classes today? Why are you wearing a mask out?"

Miseria felt utterly embarrassed.

She was particularly free today, no classes and no need to go to the Fantasy Association.

Staying in the dorm was too boring, so she went downstairs to buy some stuff.

The mask was to hide her identity.

No choice, even she's usually finely dressed, sometimes she has moments of laziness.

Unkempt hair, mismatched clothes, looking somewhat sloppy, and even wearing slippers.

Damn, such a messy look, even Lilith hadn't seen before.

Now caught by her junior directly, she felt somewhat embarrassed.

"Seems like I've been running into you quite a lot these days."

"Really? Looks like senior's view of me has changed."

"Uh..."

"Our first meeting wasn't pleasant at all."

"Haha, I remember, even though it was just a few months ago, it feels like a long time has passed."

"Do you find your junior reliable now?"

"He'd be much more reliable if he talked less."

Unexpectedly, Miseria didn't feel awkward while chatting with Chloe.

Chloe directly ignored the issues with her appearance.

Originally, she was indecisive about whether to go back and change clothes before going out again, but now she felt more at ease.

"Senior, the advice you gave earlier was really good, two of the associations you advised against have recently been exposed for issues, which helped a lot."

"Oh, then you got lucky this time."

"Anyway, with all the trouble I've put you through recently, give me a chance to repay senior's kindness."

"Hahaha, how do you plan to repay me?"

Chloe pretended to think seriously and said:

"How about a big meal?"

Miseria said with a grin:

"Just one meal? I might have to trick you into giving more."

"Can we talk about the association's matters sometime? I really don't have the patience to investigate their situation."

Miseria snorted softly and said:

"My family has a research institute for associations, I'll refer it to you, of course, considering you're my junior, I'll tell them to give you a discount."

"That's great." Chloe smiled and asked again, "Senior, there shouldn't be any problem with the midterm assessment, right?"

"I don't think so. Are you thinking about me treating you to a meal after I get the scholarship?"

"No, no, it's good enough that I haven't saved you money for that, and now you have to spend more!"

"You know, the Healing Series in the second year should be you getting the scholarship spot, but it's been two years, and it seems you don't have that intention."

"Not necessary, today's scholarship doesn't affect my earning, better leave the scholarship to those who need it most."

"Exactly, if you have the time, why not use the Extreme Association to get more from the principal's secret fund."

"Indeed, and since I often skip classes, even with the school's approval, I don't have the cheek to compete for the scholarship, right?"

"Previously exploring the Maze, did you all collect the resources from the principal?"

"Yes, many have been distributed and used up, now it's time for us to prepare for the Fantasy Show, right?"

"Yes, we'll be really busy almost every day, if there's something urgent to deal with, let me know in advance."

Chloe squinted with a smile and asked:

"If there's a problem with the Extreme Association, can I come to you for help?"

"Ah? That's troublesome."

"Please, senior."

"You rascal..."

Miseria found it hard to refuse him, especially since her junior was good-looking, and when he tried this on her, she always tended to agree easily.

"Senior, just like Lilith, you should join my association as a nominal member."

Miseria pulled down her mask and looked at Chloe with a peculiar expression:

"You, are you trying to annex the Fantasy Association?"

"How can you call it annexation, isn't this resource sharing?"

Miseria was speechless.

The Extreme Association was growing very fast.

It had just been established not long ago, and everyone in school had heard that there was a terrifying association growing rapidly.

It had funds and technologies that a student-established association shouldn't have; it completed what many associations took a decade to do in just one month.

Many top teachers in the academy were also invited to the association to lead in technology.

This even included the vice dean of the Support Academy, known as the madman, Master Heisha.

"Aren't you afraid I'll go over and seize your speaking rights, given your association's strong growth potential?"

[I don't fear Lilith, why would I fear senior?]

Chloe had this thought but didn't express it directly, just blinked and said:

"It would be a great honor to invite senior to share this glory with me."

"I don't mind, but if I join, I won't ease off on association activities, even if it's you."

"Then I'll have to stick with senior until you agree."

"Haha, junior, you're really interesting."

Miseria, who said she wouldn't hold back, smiled because of Chloe's enthusiasm.

This is why she likes bringing in newcomers.

But the next moment, Chloe said:

"I'm not like you, Sister. I didn't receive this kind of education since childhood, so if there's something I don't understand, I'll have to ask you. Don't cry then!"

"Damn."

Miseria expressed her speechlessness simply and clearly.

It felt like she got trapped by this junior.

But... it wasn't a bad feeling.

Only Chloe was secretly pleased in his heart.

Logically, he is already a Legend now, and shouldn't have too many demands on the association and the funds behind it.

But in reality, it's not like that.

If money isn't making enough impact, then it must be that there's still not enough money.

In fact, the mission that Extreme Association has to shoulder now is not just to gather funds for him, but more so to enhance the foundation of The Stars, and to prepare for the upcoming big battle.

The development of Extreme Association is destined to be a triple jump.

Since they're still a school-based association, he can fully enjoy the protection from the university.

He has already received approval from the principal and vice-principal on this point.

Just this one point alone eliminates countless hassles for the association.

Even though Ethereal Emblem University is the last link closest to the social pyramid's peak.

But the nature of the school ensures that many societal operations can't be explained within the school.

This is the premise for Extreme Association's ability to do a triple jump.

To mobilize resources and gather funds at the fastest speed, then to popularize the Simulated Earth Divine Rune, the Star Element Plan, and the Advanced Demon Eye Modification Surgery; this is very important for Chloe.

Because he has already realized that the confrontation between the World Groups won't be far off.

This time, The Stars have no chance to hide, only to face the enemy head-on.

But...

"Avoid their edge, me?"

He plans to improve the high-level combat power of The Stars from the bottom up.

Raising the baseline, so that if the World Group conflict breaks out, they will have more chances to resist.

So... he needs to tie many valuable people to the battle chariot of Extreme Association.

Lilith is relatively easy to handle on this front.

Having already realized the problems they will face, she's planning to quietly shift Fantasy Association resources in a moderately cautious way.

Now that she has joined Extreme Association, she can completely disguise as an angel investor and transfer the core assets of Fantasy Association into Extreme Association.

In this way, without anyone noticing, Fantasy Association will become, in the eyes of outsiders, the protective umbrella of Extreme Association.

But actually.

The association, protected by this so-called "umbrella," has already blossomed from the fertile soil of Fantasy Association.

By that time, even if other World Groups notice Extreme Association going public under the guise, it will be too late to stop the expanded association.

As for what will happen to Fantasy Association?

Don't be ridiculous; to both her and the father who founded Fantasy Association, it was never something so precious it had to be held onto.

Resolving the major crisis from beyond the domain is the focus.

On this point, Chloe and Lilith have already reached a tacit understanding.

Moreover... the talent reserve of Extreme Association is actually very high now.

Besides Lilith, Rephya and Fratiss have great growth potential, and it won't be long before they advance to Legend.

Besides them, Teresa as a top-notch support has strong functionality.

But Chloe needs to put in some effort to nurture this Young Lady.

Now with Miseria helping to assist with the association's operations, at this point, Extreme Association is like a small full-fledged organization.

...

Another day passed by in the blink of an eye.

This day, inside Fantasy Association.

Rephya put down a stack of posters.

"Quite a lot," she said to Laura nearby, "Is it necessary to print so many copies?"

"Just regular numbers."

"Who's going to be responsible for handling so many posters?"

Laura smiled and said:

"Of course it's you, Xiaolu. I've got more work to do myself."

"Huh, me?"

"Yes, next up, all your senior classmates and I will be so busy we won't touch the ground. Just call a few friends over and have some fun while you paste them up."

"Ugh, so many."

"Don't worry, those tasks have already been passed down to others to handle. What you have is the easiest."

"How long will it take?"

"Just finish them within a week, take your time, no rush."

Laura came and went in a hurry, leaving shortly after:

"But I still hope you finish soon and come help your senior sister."

"Ugh."

Rephya looked at the thick stack of posters and began to ponder where to paste them all.

...

At this time inside Fantasy Association.

Chloe was passing by with a box of drinks.

Seeing Laura and several senior classmates who had just finished moving supplies, he went over to hand them some water.

Laura, with a cigarette in her mouth, smiled and said:

"Junior, you're awesome."
