Chapter 56: Nita applies to College
...
After the university inauguration ceremony, Nita headed to the university rector's office to discuss something.
In the eighth-floor corridor of the campus, Nita walked calmly, observing the room views along the way.
After a few moments, Nita finally reached a door guarded by two attendants.
Each attendant was level 8, and their uniforms were those of professional guards.
"Welcome, Princess Nita. Mr. Usman is inside."
The two guards greeted Nita respectfully and opened the door wide.
Nita entered the room and observed the surroundings.
The rector's office was quite large, with several deans already present. Beautiful paintings adorned the room, and large bookshelves lined the walls.
"Princess Nita..."
"Welcome..."
Seeing Nita enter the room, the rector and the deans stood up to greet her. They shook hands and exchanged pleasantries. Then they each took their seats.
"Alright, Princess Nita, let's draft an agreement regarding your status as a student at the New Life University."
"First of all, Princess Nita, you don't need to pay any tuition fees. Your enrollment as a student greatly enhances the prestige of the New Life University."
"Additionally, Princess Nita, you are not required to attend campus activities daily. Once a week is sufficient."
The rector explained several points regarding Nita's enrollment as a student at their university. Initially, he did not expect Nita to be serious, because for him... as long as Nita asked them to issue a bachelor's degree for her, who could refuse?
"Thank you, Rector, but I don't need such special treatment. Treat me like an ordinary student," Nita explained after the rector finished speaking.
She wasn't particularly driven by the pursuit of power. With her brother Lein's talent, even by just staying idle all day, he could become stronger than the average person.
"And I will still pay the tuition fees. As the city leader, I certainly want the best for the success of the City of Life's education." Nita then took out a small bag filled with 100,000 energy crystals.
"No need, Princess, no need."
"Please accept it... this is a contribution from the city leader, not as a student." Nita insisted the rector accept the bag.
"Alright then, on behalf of the campus community, I thank you." The rector stood up and bowed, followed by the deans from the right and left sides of the table.
"Ehhh... no need, no need." Nita became even more nervous; she had always been intimidated by teachers on Earth. That trait still carried over to this day.
"If there's nothing else, I ask permission to leave, Mr. Rector." Nita didn't want to be worshipped by the deans and rector in front of her, so she wanted to leave quickly.
"Take care, Princess..."
"Goodbye, Princess Nita..."

On her way home, Nita used public transportation. Although many people asked for a photo with her, Nita did not refuse and agreed.
Initially, she had a hard time avoiding people who tried to approach and ask for photos and stopped her suddenly on the road. But since her strength increased, she would heighten her aura, making those who wanted to get closer unable to take another step.
Of course, she only did this when the crowd became uncontrollable and chaotic. If it was just a small number, she would happily oblige them.
On her way home, she received a message from Lein.
- (Lein): "Nita, where are you? It's lunchtime already."
- (Lein): "Meet me at the hall at 2 PM, you need to do the promotion."
...
"Hahaha... I will give him a surprise later."
A sly smile appeared on Nita's face; she hadn't told her brother she was enrolling in school.
"Well, I'm not a child anymore, I can fight him if he doesn't allow me." Nita clenched her fist with the usual arrogance she displayed.
It was still 12:30 PM, so she would eat at a nearby restaurant and then meet her brother for the promotion.
***
At 2 PM, in the City Hall.
As usual, Lein was cultivating a new habit when he had free time: reading a book in one of the small pavilions in the garden next to the city hall.
The city hall design was a result of Nita's creativity. Initially, Lein thought it was useless and not often used. But now, he found himself visiting this place more frequently.
"Days change, but..."
While Lein was reading, footsteps broke the sound of the fountain in the middle of the garden.
"Big brother..."
Yes, the person who came was Nita. She arrived wearing a neat white dress with lace on the shoulders and waist.
"Where have you been?" Lein asked while placing the book he was reading on a small table.
"Umm... guess!?" Nita stood with her hands behind her back, twirling lightly, hoping Lein would guess where she had been.
"The mall?" Lein guessed, considering Nita's new dress.
"Correct... but that's not the main place I visited." Nita smiled mysteriously, waiting for Lein's next guess.
"The beach?"
"Um, um." Nita shook her head.
"The library? Cinema?"
"Um, um."
Lein felt Nita was toying with him, so he asked in the alliance chat room.
[Alliance Chat #world market trade]
- (Lein): "Has anyone seen my sister Nita recently?"
- (Nifa): "What's wrong, leader? Is Princess Nita missing?"
- (Juan): "I saw her attending the inauguration of the new university campus, leader Lein."
...
"Hummmm, that's not fair... you can't ask in the group." Nita pouted and then sat on the empty chair next to her brother.
"What's wrong? There's no rule against it... hhhh." Lein laughed heartily. Besides obtaining high-level items, seeing his sister Nita pout was a joy for Lein.
"Ih.hh.."
Nita clenched her fist as if wanting to hit her brother but didn't do so.
"Yes, today I attended the inauguration of the New Life University. And I intend to become a student there."
"What do you think, brother?" Nita asked Lein, feeling a bit nervous.
