Chloe glanced at the goods that had just been unloaded:

"All this stuff for the Fantasy Show."

He was quite surprised.

No wonder they say being a Fantasist isn't something an average person can choose.

Just the amount of resources gathered already far exceeds that of ordinary professions.

"It's really hard work."

"If you know how tough it is for the seniors, make sure to do your best during the Fantasy Show."

"Okay, we'll definitely do our best."

Chloe finished handing out water to everyone, still holding two bottles.

Just as he was about to leave, he saw Xiaolu tiptoeing to post a poster as he passed by the school building.

The bulletin board underneath was filled with forms from other associations.

After all, Xiaolu wasn't the Titan she used to be, so she had to tiptoe to post anything.

She finally stuck it on, but it came out wrinkled.

Then Chloe saw her talking to herself, "Should I take it down?"

Seeing her so cute, Chloe immediately walked over and said:

"Rephya."

Rephya was startled, and the poster in her hand scattered all over the ground.

"Here, have a drink first."

Chloe handed her a bottle of water.

He saw the senior's smiling face, causing her face to blush.

"Don't poke my face with the bottle."

"Okay, okay, have some water to cool down."

Chloe helped her open the bottle cap and then picked up the posters from the ground.

"Are you posting the posters all by yourself? With so many left, when will you finish?"

Rephya glanced at Chloe cautiously, recalling the simulation from some time ago.

Maybe because he was too crazy in the Historical Echoes, senior became unusually proactive in the simulation.

So...

So when she made the choice, she went along with it and compromised.

Now seeing him in person again, she felt a bit embarrassed for a moment.

So she whispered:

"I still have four stacks; don't know how long it'll take."

"Haha, I just came from Laura. I saw them moving supplies, and they were already out of breath."

"Ugh, so mine is quite leisurely, right?"

"But judging by your progress, you might end up handing out posters on the streets."

"Darn, you're laughing at me!"

"Okay, okay, I'm not laughing at you."

Rephya was a bit unhappy.

It wasn't her fault.

Who would have thought the poster walls around school had so much junk information?

She even saw ads for sobriety and massages!

"Doesn't the student council spare some time to tidy up the poster walls?"

She muttered softly.

Chloe ruffled her hair and said:

"I've given you water. I'll head back to the association; there's still work to be done."

"Go ahead, then."

Rephya pouted.

Chloe turned toward the school building, but suddenly turned back and said:

"I just have some miscellaneous things left. Rephya, I'll come to help you once I finish, so don't run away."

"Huh?"

Rephya crouched down with the posters in her arms, watching Chloe's back as he walked away. For some reason, her heart suddenly started beating faster.

Confused by this feeling, she patted her chest in frustration.

"Darn, why are you beating so fast for no reason?"

She subconsciously hugged her legs, drawing circles on the ground with her finger.

Why did her emotions become so complicated?

She lifted her head, took a deep breath, held the water Chloe gave her, and grinned foolishly.

...

"Hmph, it's none of senior's business; I could have finished this on my own."

"Oh? Really?"

"Did you bring the tape and the utility knife? We need to hurry."

"After coming out of Historical Echoes, Xiaolu, you seem a bit assertive."

"Hmph, I know what senior is like now."

She muttered under her breath, "jerk," making Chloe's brow twitch.

Xiaolu, Xiaolu, you're really getting bold.

"Bring your head here, and I'll smack it!"

"Bleh, no way!"

"So where should we post it?"

"Try to post it somewhere noticeable."

"Then let's make a little star in the first-year's big lecture hall!"

"Senior..."

"Hmm?"

"Has anyone ever told you you're childish?"

... A few minutes later ...

Rephya stood in front of the poster wall, smiling:

"Look, senior, I made a little star."

"Haha, it's so cute!"

"Didn't you say it was childish?"

"That's a separate matter!"

"Today's portion is done for now, but you still have four stacks left. That's tough."

"Yeah, thank you, senior."

"Alright, great work, our Xiaolu; I'll head to Amber Hall for a bit."

"Okay, be careful on your way."

"You too, see you tomorrow."

"Alright..."

Xiaolu watched Chloe prepare to leave, her fingers fidgeting together.

She hesitantly said:

"Are you, are you coming to help me again tomorrow?"

After saying this, Rephya's face started to turn red.

Chloe let out a light grunt and said:

"But I've been really busy lately, and didn't Xiaolu say they don't need my help? Coming over to do hard labor and you don't even smile at me more often."

"Hmph!"

For some reason, Rephya felt a bit angry.

This wasn't what the historical echoes told her.

Is senior planning to go back on his word?

"I'll do it myself, I don't want you helping me, senior."

Chloe chuckled, stepped forward, and pinched her cheek, saying:

"Alright, alright, how could I bear to leave you to put up posters alone, but I do have something going on tomorrow. I'll handle it quickly and come find you. Meanwhile, don't slack off before I get there, okay?"

"Oh."

Rephya responded in a daze, then puffed with frustration and said:

"I'm not a puppy, stop telling me to behave."

"Hehe, so cute."

"Stop pinching my face!"

...

In the days that followed, Rephya felt that time passed quickly.

She went around putting up posters.

And afterward, she'd find her senior to grab a meal together.

Ever since coming to the Ethereal Emblem, Rephya had never really walked around the school, instead only rushing back and forth on predetermined routes.

Now looking back, every campus of the Ethereal Emblem had their footprints, hers and Chloe's.

Unknowingly, she started to focus her gaze on him.

One day, while dreaming, she didn't even use Aisha's talent, yet she saw him in her dream.

And then...

And then there were several thousand words of indescribable content.

That night, she happened to be staying at Amber Hall.

When she woke up, she found the bed as if a water glass had been knocked over, damp everywhere.

Rephya, rather troubled, decided to clean up the scene.

While taking the sheets up to the rooftop to dry, she suddenly noticed Chloe walking nearby in the corridor.

As if sensing Rephya's overly burning gaze, Chloe looked up in her direction and waved his hand.

Embarrassed, Rephya hid behind the sheets, unknowingly feeling the heat spread from her face to her chest.

[Senior probably didn't realize anything was wrong with my sheets, right?]

...

On the other side.

Chloe realized it.

The darn system, for the bonded individual, is really...

Indescribable.

In short, Rephya had a dream, a dream involving him, and the system initiated [No Substitute Allowed], pulling him into Xiaolu's dream.

And then... ahem, now Xiaolu was obedient enough to let him do the work from behind.

"About the Maze over there, you'll need to handle the specific plan, hey, are you listening to me?"

Teresa looked at Chloe with a helpless expression.

The womanizer had suddenly become enveloped in the scent of another woman.

How much of a philanderer did this guy have to be to achieve this level?

Reminded by Teresa, Chloe turned back and said:

"Oh, sorry, have those resource points undergone preliminary investigation?"

"Yeah, so why are you in such a hurry? Never seen someone as quick to finish as you."

"Can't help it, the situation with those Mazes is a bit special."

Chloe chuckled lightly, without explaining why.

He simply turned to the Young Lady with a serious tone and said:

"So how's your side going?"

"It's hard to upgrade Sequence Seven."

"I know."

"Apparently, there are circumstances; I need to advance to Sequence Seven to resolve them."

"Alright."

...

On the other side.

Rephya encountered a little problem.

In the past few days, Chloe would have her wait for him in the Fantasy Association every afternoon, and then they would go out together.

But today, the time had arrived, yet she hadn't seen him.

At this moment, in the Association, the seniors responsible for handling the Fantasy Show's various materials had already finished their work and were preparing to leave.

As a first-year student, she seemed a bit redundant standing there.

A senior approached to ask:

"Rephya, are you finished over there? Do you need help?"

Rephya shook her head decisively and said:

"I just have a little left, I'll handle it myself later."

Seeing the senior still wanted to inquire further, she quickly sped up her pace and left the Association.

Leaving, a myriad of random thoughts floated through Rephya's mind.

It made sense; he's the president of the Extreme Association and the male lead in this Fantasy Show, he's likely very busy these days.

Continually hoping he'd come to help was asking too much from him.

But...

But what's happening to me?

Why does not seeing him today make me feel a bit sad and upset?

"Dammit, you jerk."

Knowing this shouldn't be my train of thought, Rephya still held onto the posters, muttering:

"If you won't accompany me, I'll go by myself; after all... I was alone in the first place."

Thinking this, she quickened her pace toward the last few spots needing posters.

"Dammit, the wind is so strong today, bullying me just because he didn't come."

Rephya angrily used her blood energy to keep the posters down, not knowing why her mood had turned particularly agitated.

What made her even more unhappy was that although the senior didn't show up, she felt sad like someone out of their mind.

It's really strange.

Why have I become like this?

Nothing's changed from the past, why is it now that I'm...

"Rephya, didn't I tell you to wait for me in the Association?" Suddenly, a hand reached out from behind, holding down the fluttering poster, "Why did you run off by yourself?"
