[Third Day of New Semester - Dawn City]
The third day at the academy was in session, and the students were actively participating in various activities.
They attended their classes with enthusiasm and dedication.
Meanwhile, at the island, Rain, who wasn't part of the academy, was sleeping peacefully in his comfortable bed as he had no particular schedule to adhere to.
As the day progressed, the students continued with their combat practice, learning various techniques and strategies to defend themselves in real-life situations.
While they were busy practicing, Rain was relishing his homemade breakfast, which he prepared with great care and affection.
Later in the day, the students attended their theory classes, where they gained knowledge about various subjects.
At the same time, Rain was exploring the island, which was full of breathtaking scenery and unique wildlife.
After the lectures were over, the students went to different areas of the academy, depending on their interests.
Some went to the library to study, some to the training ground to practice, and others to the cafeteria to grab a bite to eat.
On the other side of the island, Rain was taking a refreshing shower after returning home, content with the peaceful and relaxed day he had spent.
The students were in their room, studying and reviewing their notes to ensure that they were well-prepared for upcoming exams or assignments.
Meanwhile, Rain was enjoying his delicious, home-cooked dinner, savoring every bite of the flavorful meal.
However, after a while, several people received notifications on their mobile devices.
It was unclear what the notifications were about, but they were significant enough to grab people's attention.
Some students quickly checked their phones, wondering what was going on, while others continued to study or relax.
As it turned out, the notifications were about a popular online personality named NightSoul who was about to start a live-stream in ten minutes.
Everybody put a hold on what they were doing and started joining the live stream.

[After 10 minutes]
As Rain's figure appeared on the screen, the chat began to stir with excitement.
A few seconds passed, and the comments section was already filled with messages from fans, eagerly waiting for Rain to say something.

#fiercecat: Lier.
#i.am.single: Lier.
#i.like.seas: Upstairs, the correct spelling is "liar."
#Sweetangel: Lying is not a good thing to do.
#Fierce_lion: I smell something fishy. Oh, wait, it's just your lies.
#Wetgirl: You lied to me, and it hurts.
#Moonie: Come on, guys, let's not make lying a habit. Otherwise, you'll end up in politics.
═─┈─═─┈─═─┈─═─┈─═
Rain's eyes narrowed as he scanned the barrage of comments flooding the chat.
The sheer number of comments accusing him of lying was alarming.
Rain's eyebrows furrowed as he tried to make sense of the situation.
Why were so many people accusing him of something he didn't do?
He tilted his head in confusion, looking straight into the camera.
"Why are you calling me a liar?" Rain asked, his voice calm but firm.
The chat seemed to pause for a moment, as if everyone was holding their breath, waiting for his response.
Then, as if on cue, the golden letters appeared on the screen, drawing everyone's attention.

[Detective's_child has donated 10 Gold coins.]
[You said you would livestream every other night, so logically you should have done a livestream yesterday. However, you didn't. Can you explain why "Mr.Liar"?]
═─┈─═─┈─═─┈─═─┈─═
Reading the chat, Rain remembered that he had promised to livestream the previous day.
However, he forgot because he had been troubled with the Mermaid pearl, and was exhausted after exploring.
"Sorry for the missed stream," Rain said politely. "I had some urgent work to take care of. I'll try to livestream on schedule from now on." Thanks to his charm, most of the audience forgave him.
═─┈─═─┈─═─┈─═─┈─═
#Wetgirl: Aww, it's okay hubby. I know you've been busy. Just give me a virtual kissy and all is forgiven.
#heaven_emperor: As the Heavenly Emperor, I must forgive you. But remember, there are consequences for breaking promises.
#Ye_fan: I'm not one to bow to the heavens, but I'll let it slide this time.
#Sweetangel: Of course we forgive you, Rain! Everyone makes mistakes.
#White_daisy: What kind of work were you doing that was so important, Rain?
#catgirl: Yeah, spill the tea, Rain! We're all curious.
#Coffee_addict: I forgive you Rain, but only if you promise to share your coffee with me.
#TheRealSlimShady: Will the real Rain please stand up? We need to know who's been telling the truth!
#SassyPants: Rain, you better watch out or I'll start spreading rumors about you!
#TheOne: Rain, you're lucky I'm feeling merciful today. But next time, watch out for my wrath!
═─┈─═─┈─═─┈─═─┈─═
Soon, many people in the chat were asking what kind of job Rain had been doing that made him miss the livestream.
Rain knew he needed to come up with a good excuse, since he couldn't tell the truth about his mermaid pearl encounter.
"I was actually just practicing my guitar and working on my painting skills," Rain explained, pulling out a canvas he had painted when he first saw the waterfall.
It wasn't a masterpiece, but it showed a beautiful scene of the waterfall and the surrounding landscape.
The chat responded positively, with many viewers complimenting Rain on his painting and asking him more about his interests in music and art.
Rain smiled, happy to have found a way to connect with his audience beyond just exploring.
