Sensing that the Wind-Cloud Sparrow was extremely eager for the fruit of this tree, Mike naturally did not restrain it.

He immediately summoned the Wind-Cloud Sparrow to rush over and prepare to devour the fruit.

However, at this moment, Lilian, who was beside him, stopped him.

“Mike, can we do these things later?”

“Let’s go save Kula and the others first, shall we?”

“Huh?” Mike frowned and looked at her.

Although he felt a little helpless, he still asked, “Lilian, do you really even know them?”

Hearing Mike’s words, Lilian was slightly stunned.

She didn’t know why Mike would choose to say this, but she still said it quickly.

“This… Aren’t we all classmates? Shouldn’t classmates help each other?”

Hearing this, Mike shook his head.

Although Lilian was very kind, she did not seem very smart.

Although classmates were supposed to help each other, in the current emergency situation, they needed to understand each other’s situation before they would extend a helping hand.

After all, the Human Federation from the outside, with their laws and regulations, did not exist here.

Over here, only benefits were important.

Only when interests were aligned could they be teammates.

Just like how both Mike and Lilian wanted to find the soul of the Storm Hawk and pass this assessment.

This had been the prerequisite for them to become teammates.

“Lilian, if you don’t know them well, then in this environment, I would suggest that you mind your own business,” Mike said calmly.

However, his reminder and advice did not gain Lilian’s attention. Instead, she started to sympathize with Clark and Kula.

“Mike, they’re in such a pitiful situation. If we just stand by and watch, they’ll definitely die.”

After hearing Lilian’s words, Mike did not think any further.

As the class monitor, he had to have some responsibility to the class members and to work better with Lilian in the future.

Therefore, he did not refuse.

However, to him, it did not make much difference whether he saved them or not.

However, since Lilian had insisted, he would do her a favor.

“Wind-Cloud Sparrow, go save those two.”

“Chirp!”

The Wind-Cloud Sparrow let out a loud cry.

It immediately rushed down towards the desert at lightning speed.

After circling above Kula and Clark’s heads, it flapped its wings, and a gust of wind blew up the sand.

The wind and sand immediately filled the sky in the area.

It was mesmerizing to the people who were present.

However, Kula and Clark had to squint their eyes to block out the wind and sand.

They found that their minds were spinning, as the scene around them was also changing.

After feeling weightless for a while, they soon landed on the ground.

When they felt that the ground was solid, Kula and Clark felt relieved.

Phew!

Finally, they had been saved.

They didn’t have to soak in the sand anymore.

They didn’t want to experience the feeling of despair gradually swallowing their hopes bit by bit.

“Thank you… Thank you, Lilian,” Clark said immediately when she saw Lilian.

“Yes, thank you, Lilian.” Kula also thanked her immediately after hearing Clark’s voice.

“I didn’t save you. The class monitor saved you. You have to thank the class monitor.”

Lilian quickly waved her hand and said.

Upon hearing this, Kula also said politely to Mike.

“Class monitor, thank you very much.”

“Be careful next time,” Mike said lightly.

Clark was slightly stunned to hear this. The class monitor had actually talked to her, and he did not seem to be as rigid and cold as other students had said.

Her impression of Mike was now much better.

However, unlike Clark, Kula stood to the side arrogantly, as if she had been the one who had saved Mike.

“Huh, pay attention? How could we notice that Thunder Tree if we don’t pay attention?”

Kula had a disdainful look on her face. She then turned her head to Clark and said, “Clark, let’s go and pick the Thunder Fruit.”

“This…” Clark said hesitantly.

Earlier, they had gone into the desert because they had wanted to find this Thunder Tree and pick the Thunder Fruit. However, before they could take any action, they had fallen into quicksand.

“Class monitor, Lilian, let’s go on together.”

Clark thought for a moment before suggesting this. After all, the others had saved her, so she was grateful to share some good things with his savior.

However, before Mike and the others could answer Lilian’s words, Kula, who was standing to the side, frowned.

“Clark, we used a lot of resources to get that information. There is a Thunder Tree here, and we almost lost our lives just now. How can you bring others along now?” Kula pouted with a reluctant look on her face, as if she was about to explode in the next second.

However, her words did not make Mike angry. Mike remained indifferent.

On the contrary, Lilian was extremely embarrassed.

She did not know how to respond to those words.

After all, she was the one who had advised Mike to save them. But now, Kula was being so annoying. She secretly glanced over at Mike and found that he did not have any feelings of disgust at all. Instead, he was extremely calm. She could not help but feel relieved.

Fortunately, the class monitor wasn’t a petty person.

But unlike Lilian who was relaxed, Clark, who was standing at the side, frowned when she heard this.

“Kula, we were saved by the class monitor. I’m not saying you have to have to repay the kindness, but at least show a little respect. If you don’t do that, you will be disrespecting the class monitor. Do you think that this is appropriate?” Clark said in a deep voice, her voice carrying a bit of sternness.

However, Kula did not agree with what Clark had said. Instead, she said with an unhappy face.

“What’s wrong with me? Why am I not being appropriate?”

When she heard this, Clark’s head felt like it was about to explode from anger. It was difficult to communicate with this kind of person who was only aware of her own interests and only put her own interests first.

“You must apologize to the class monitor now. Otherwise, you will go on alone!” Clark said with her hands on her waist, giving Kula a final ultimatum.

“You!” Kula was also angered by her good friend. Her face turned pale and her tone became a little louder, “I didn’t do anything wrong. I didn’t ask him to save me. Why should I apologize? Also, what right do you have to command me to do things? Even my father doesn’t say such things to me!”

Upon hearing this, Mike and the others understood.

Kula was a spoiled little girl. She had been pampered since she was young and didn’t have any sympathy. A person like this only cared about her own feelings without caring about other people at all.

Although Mike had saved Clark and Kula, he did not feel any regret for his actions.

After all, he had saved Clark and made Lilian understand teamwork.

As for Kula, Mike did not want to lower himself to her level.

People like her only understood other things when she was beaten by society.

Just as Mike thought so, he saw that Kula was angrily stalking towards the Thunder Tree.
