Yang Nina looked around. She wasn't accidentally thrown inside a romance novel, was she?

Either the school setting of the novel she's in was based of the real Soaring Dragon Academy, or that the Academy was actually a fictional school she've read from a novel in the real world?

Is her name really Yang Nina? Hmm...she'd never read a novel with a character named Yang Nina...or did she? Maybe she's a cannon fodder?

Will she soon remember that she was actually a normal high school girl who read a romance novel before being hit by a truck?

"Miss Yang, it's good to see that you're in good health." Lillie prompted, slightly concerned that the girl suddenly started mumbling to herself.

Normal high school girl? Romance novel? Truck?

How many transmigration or isekai [1] novels has this girl read?

The venom might still be in her system that she's confusing reality to a fictional world.

Snapped out of her internal strife, Yang Nina asked, "How—how did this esteemed one know of my name?"

"Grandmaster Yang was very vocal in letting everyone know that you're his granddaughter." Lillie said with a helpless smile.

Yang Nina's breath hitched, both horrified and embarrassed. "I apologize! I hope this esteemed one didn't took offense. My gra—Grandmaster Yang, he...uh..."

Sh*t! I hope she doesn't think that I'm arrogant because I'm related to a Grandmaster! D*mn it, grandpa!

Soft chuckles chimed through her ears and Yang Nina couldn't help but be entranced by the melodious sound.

"It's not uncommon for grandparents to flaunt their grandchildren." She reassured. "Non of us were peeved, fret not."

"Ah, I...I see." Awkwardness, an annoying yet unavoidable occurrence.

Yang Nina twitched, her hands unconsciously fidgeting, eyes looking everywhere but the Grand Disciple before her.

Lillie noticed her agitation and took pity.

"Oh, where are my manners," She spared the poor girl from awkwardness. "I am Shengming, second direct disciple of Grandmaster Wei Wangyu. Pleased to make your acquaintance."

Yang Nina staggered.

"Huh?" She dumbly breathed out. Her grandfather's voice suddenly resurfaced in her mind, telling her the names of the group who saved her. If she's not mistaken...

Shengming...disciple...Wei Wangyu...

Sputtering ungracefully when everything registered in her brain, Yang Nina mentally composed a series of introductions that wouldn't make her look like an unintelligent buffoon.

Unfortunately, that didn't came out as planned.

Yang Nina ends up with incoherent gibberish that would make even a toddler sound more fluent than her.

Well, isn't this a refreshing and an amusing way to introduce oneself? This event will definitely leave a memorable impression to Lillie.

"Shouldn't Miss Yang be at the clinic right now? As far as I'm aware, Red Whiskers' venom wouldn't allow their victims mobility and energy, much like what Miss Yang's displaying right now, for days." Lillie explained.

Also, depending how far the venom has spread, it might even take weeks for the victim to recover.

Just how tough is this girl's immune system?

"Oh, that. Well, gra—Grandmaster Yang's medicine kicked in pretty quickly." Then, Yang Nina scratch the back of her ear and laughed sheepishly, "Also, many say I recover fast because of my stubbornness."

"I concur." Lillie lightly chuckled in amus.e.m.e.nt. "Miss Yang's spirit is formidable. A quirk this one have seen frequently to exceptional individuals."

Butterflies fluttered in her stomach and ears turning red at the compliment. It's not like Yang Nina was compliment-deprived.

Considering who her grandfather was, she was showered with it as soon as they figured out her identity.

But, Grand Disciple Life's words sounded so genuine. She doesn't make it sound like it's an obligation due to her relationship with someone who's highly regarded.

Throwing the "suitable" behavior her grandfather instructed her to apply towards his "rival" and his "brats" out of the window, Yang Nina lowered her head in a 90 degree bow.

She would've even kowtowed in it weren't for her traitorous leg screaming for her to stop moving or else she'll face repercussion.

"I thank this esteemed one for sparing me from a difficult situation. If it weren't for you and your companions, I wouldn't be stepping on the ground of this Academy."

After she said her piece, hands grasped each of her shoulders, urging Yang Nina to straighten up.

"Miss Yang's gratefulness is heard and appreciated. It's not necessary for you to bow your head so deeply." Especially in your condition, was left unsaid.

"Please, Grand Disciple, call me Nina." Yang Nina said. "Calling me miss sounded too formal, and, uh, it kinda make me sound like I'm old."

"Then, formalities aside, you may address me by my name as well." Lillie amended to her request. "How old are you, Nina?"

"Sixteen."

"Hm, that young?" Lillie couldn't help but feel that they're somehow similar. She also entered the Academy at that age.

"Well, I had a pleasant time with you, Nina. But I'm afraid we'll have to cut it short." Lillie said with an apologetic smile.

"Is that so..." Yang Nina tried her best not to look disappointed. She really enjoyed talking with Lillie. She's like the elder sister she never had.

Yang Nina is the eldest of three, after all, and people tend to act like she wasn't a sixteen year old girl.

When she play games, watch cartoons and anime, or see her having fun in general, they'll call her immature.

A.d.u.l.ts and their ridiculousness—makes her want to slap them so hard that their heads spin.

Lillie finally heed the fallen books she neglected on the ground, and went to pick them up.

"Ah! I haven't apologize from bumping into your earlier." Yang Nina wanted to help but Lillie had already secured the books under her arm. "I'm terribly sorry, I wasn't paying attention to where I was going."

"Don't blame yourself, it's clearly the wall's fault for obstructing our sight from the other direction." Lillie said with humor in her tone.

She seemed to be successful in lightening up the mood when Yang Nina giggled. "Thank you, once again, Sister Shengming. I feel relieved that I have given thanks to one of my benefactors. Now, I must search for the others."

"Eh? You mean that instead of resting, you risked your condition just so you could thank us?"

She would've gotten lost, collapse from sheer exhaustion, or suffer from the pain on her leg before she would arrive to her intended destination.

This stubborn girl, ah.
