Meng Academy: The Villain's Daily Wooden Fish Tapping

Rui Bu Si originates from the Quake Clan goddess Xi Si Na but became stranded on Centaurus Planet after the Black Quake War, living in poverty without any magic due to long separation from the Dark Great Emperor. The Merit System appears in her mind, promising freedom and wealth in exchange for completing tasks. Suspicious of its grandiose claims, she reluctantly accepts after receiving a gold coin as initial payment. The System’s first task is to rescue Princess Naiya, and it instantly transports Rui Bu Si to Meng Academy on Earth, giving her a forged identity as an orphaned Earthling, an enrollment notice, and a student uniform. The System automatically deducts one gold coin for these supplies and provides a three-day shield to hide her Dark Clan aura.Upon arrival, Rui Bu Si tumbles out of a telephone booth and collides with Princess Naiya. Panicked by the proximity to her natural nemesis, she manages to utter a few words before being knocked down by two other students bursting from the same telephone booth: Lie Yan Jian Ni and Lan Bao, both from Earth. The shock and her weakened body cause her to faint. She wakes in the infirmary, where the head nurse Da Tiantian scolds her for severe malnutrition, but the real cause is her energy deficiency from being cut off from the Dark Great Emperor. Lie Yan Jian Ni and Lan Bao apologize profusely; Rui Bu Si accepts magnanimously, still operating under her old undercover mindset. The three of them learn that the famous student Li Ka is actually just a doll used to recruit students, a cruel trick that devastates Jian Ni and Lan Bao. Rui Bu Si comforts them and gains small merit for doing so.Entering the classroom, Rui Bu Si discovers she is completely illiterate after returning all learned knowledge long ago. She must accumulate merit by helping others, but her classmates immediately suspect her abnormal enthusiasm. Mi Ya Xing uses mind reading on her and reveals her plan to do ten good deeds daily. Ba Bi rudely asks her to leave the classroom, and Rui Bu Si complies cheerfully, counting that as a good deed. She later encounters Jian Ni and Lan Bao searching for a necklace belonging to Naiya that fell into a sewer. She suggests looking in the underground waterway, winning their heartfelt thanks. Needing money, she asks them to lend her a few coins, which they scrape together. With the funds, she buys cheap glasses and a hair tie to alter her appearance, hoping to avoid recognition by old enemies among the faculty. She spends the rest of the day helping elementary division children to complete six more good deeds.Her roommate is Ya Ya, who owns a duck named Ya Ya and a doll called Fufu. Initially cold, Ya Ya becomes warmly enthusiastic the next morning, helping Rui Bu Si get dressed in time to avoid punishment from Director Pa Hua Luo Di. The duo faces disdain from classmates, likely because they are openly from Earth. Jian Ni and Lan Bao join them at their table. Jian Ni recounts the previous day’s adventure: they entered the underground waterway, retrieved Naiya’s necklace, but were attacked by flying Poison Ivy. Naiya shielded Jian Ni and fell into a coma from the poison; Lan Bao shared the poison to buy time, and Jian Ni eventually obtained the Poison Ivy fruit to neutralize the toxin. Rui Bu Si is astonished that the current generation of Meng Knights is so weak that they struggle with Poison Ivy. She briefly contemplates killing them so stronger replacements might arise, but the System immediately deducts merit for the malicious thought. Jian Ni mentions he used fire magic to burn the plant, making Rui Bu Si suspect he might be the legendary Flame Star.Director Pa arrives for morning assembly and glares at their group. Later, Jian Ni confesses that Director Pa caught him entering the underground waterway without permission and warned of possible expulsion. Ya Ya comforts him, saying the headmaster is lenient, but she warns them to be wary of Teacher Qian Jin’s class. The name Qian Jin jolts Rui Bu Si—this was the Flame Star who sought to eliminate her race over two hundred years ago. She fears immediate exposure, but the System assures her that her identity will not be revealed. Her current goal remains to accumulate enough merit to unlock permanent use of Quake Clan magic, all while hiding her true nature from the very Meng Knights she must help grow. The Dark Great Emperor, her former boss, remains imprisoned in the underground waterway, his threat still looming. Her path is fraught with old enemies, a relentless System that punishes her for every dark thought, and a galaxy that expects her to become a savior.
