"Alright, I was just joking to lighten the mood! Don't take it seriously, of course, I'd be happy to help you."

After completing his little experiment, Kael quickly adjusted his attitude.

"Boring!"

[Ding! Detected joy!]

[Ding! Drawing a treasure chest for the host!]

[Ding! Congratulations! You've received a silver treasure chest!]

…

"But if you insist on paying, well, I can't exactly refuse, can I?"

Cassandra: "!!!!"

[Ding! Detected anger!]

[Ding! Drawing a treasure chest for the host! Ding!]

[Congratulations! You've received a bronze treasure chest!]

…

Alright, so there's a cooldown period for this kind of thing. I'll need to note that down! (T/N: For those who didn't notice the chests he received are of lower quality)

While Kael silently recorded his experimental data, he suddenly felt a sharp, angry gaze. Looking up, he saw Cassandra staring at him with fiery eyes.

"Uh, I was just…"

"Kael, I'm going to bite you to death!" In her fury, Cassandra lunged at him.

The usually composed, noble-born Cassandra, who had been raised with the highest aristocratic education, was finally driven to the edge by this shameless man.

As he was tackled, Kael's mind had only one thought left.

Oh no, Cassandra's been pushed too far.

...

Five minutes later, they stood at the entrance to the common room. The door had long since closed. Kael looked down at his clothes. There was a noticeable damp patch of saliva on his shoulder.

This woman…

Maybe she's part dog?

Wait a minute...

But there are no zodiac signs in England…

"That'll teach you to not to mess with me!" Cassandra's face was also red. She had just realized her behavior was quite out of line.

This was the first time she'd gotten so physically close to a boy.

And it involved using her mouth.

"Hurry up, find my dormitory, and make me a cup of tea. Then, I'll graciously forgive you."

"Got it," Kael muttered as he approached the stone wall and repeated the password.

"Pureblood supremacy!"

The door to the common room opened again. They stepped inside, only to see about twenty students sitting there, all high-ranking Slytherins.

At the head of the group stood Malfoy and his two cronies.

Malfoy had paid a hefty price to gather these older Slytherins.

Pansy was also in the room but stood alone, away from the others. When she saw Kael, she seemed to hesitate, but in the end, she bit her lip and said nothing.

"Look who's back!"

"Isn't it our Slytherin's First Year Prefect?"

"You've skipped an entire day of classes. Lucky for you, Professor Snape isn't here today."

"Otherwise, he would've definitely have put you in detention for sure."

"But don't worry, I'm sure he'll be happy to see you in the hospital wing tomorrow!"

"Listen, Kael, Slytherin belongs to purebloods. We don't welcome half-bloods or Mudbloods like you!"

Malfoy approached, full of arrogance.

The twenty older Slytherins around him had all learned a few dangerous charms that were never taught in school, giving Malfoy plenty of confidence. Even just one spell from each of them could easily overwhelm Kael.

Some of the seventh-year students there were as strong as full-grown wizards, preparing to join the Ministry after graduation.

"Hmph, isn't this… bullying?" Cassandra's eyebrows furrowed slightly as she took in the scene.

"I remember you. You're that boy from the Malfoy family, aren't you?"

"How pathetic."

On one side, there was a pureblood boy she barely knew, and on the other, a new friend whose strength and personality she respected.

It was clear where Cassandra's loyalties lay.

"Kael, is this what you meant when you said the school was 'united'?"

She couldn't resist teasing Kael after confronting Malfoy.

"The unity I mentioned, well… you see, I wasn't wrong, was I? They really are united." Kael smiled innocently.

Cassandra: "..."

...

"You're... Miss Vole?" Malfoy finally recognized the blonde girl before him after a moment of confusion.

They had met twice at pureblood gatherings.

If her family hadn't moved to America over two hundred years ago, the Vole family would certainly be listed among the 'Sacred Twenty-Eight' pureblood families.

Unlike many pureblood families, which were now in decline, the Vole family had thrived in the vast, resource-rich America.

In just two centuries, the Vole family had surpassed Sacred Twenty-Eight in England.

"Miss Vole , on behalf of the Malfoy family, I offer you my regards."

"My father often says you are an exemplary witch for our generation."

"Perhaps you've been misled by this boy. He's no pureblood."

"We are far more suitable companions for you."

Malfoy's bravado faltered slightly as he did his best to avoid offending Cassandra.

"Do I need your guidance on who to be friends with?" Cassandra coldly said, pulling out her wand.

One was a spoiled brat who couldn't stop calling his father for everything, and the other was an orphan who had earned his reputation through real skill in Knockturn Alley.

Even if she only considered her family, she knew which side to take.

Yes!

That's right. This is purely for family reasons!

Cassandra assured herself with an internal battle of thoughts.

Without hesitation, she chose to stand by Kael, who seemed to be at a disadvantage.

"Alright, Cassandra, let me handle this. You know, I excel at resolving conflicts with kindness."

"We're all classmates here. Violence won't solve anything!"

At this point, Kael stepped forward, not wanting Cassandra to fight on his behalf
