Chapter 268 Ignite
Braeside College.
Flo put down the thick stack of brown paper in her hand and leaned back in the chair tiredly.
The absence of the class head resulted in most matters being assigned to the deputy class head, and Fielding was unable to stay in the college for a long time due to family matters, which resulted in all the things piling up on Flo's desk.
Flo couldn't remember how many times she had worked overtime this week.
If Canaan hadn't come to help from time to time, she would probably still be arguing with other class leaders about the unreasonableness of the drastic reduction in classes for second grades.
Canaan poured a glass of water and handed it to her, with the same look of despair on his face.
"We've worked so hard. When we're done with this, let's ask the boss to compensate us with some gold coins. No, it's not enough. We're so exhausted. Let him compensate us a little more."
Flo didn't say anything, but responded with action. She immediately took the water and drank it.
The water had only disappeared halfway when the receiver of the telephone on the desk began to ring rapidly.
Flo's relaxed expression drooped again. She put down the cup heavily with a "thump" and picked up the receiver, "Hello, this is the second-grade prefect's office. What can I do for you?"
Canaan knew what to do and kept silent, quietly watching Flo's expression change several times, finally stopping at an expression that could be described as ugly.
There was an indescribable sense of oppression in her serious and frowning look. Canaan's heart trembled, thinking that Lu Yi would be surprised when he came back.
Who would have thought that after Lu Yi's absence, it was Flo instead of Fielding who took on the leading role?
The current Flo, with her stunning aura, was completely different from the Flo who had just entered Braceside.
Canaan was amazed by her growth rate. At the same time, Canaan realized belatedly that Lu Yi had a keen eye for talent.
No wonder Lu Yi had chosen Flo over all the others when there were so many options. And Flo had always proved with her actions that Lu Yi's choice was not wrong.
"Is it a call from the college? Or is it a call from the prefects' meeting?" Canaan asked when he saw Flo put down the receiver.
"It's a call from the academy." Flo looked depressed. "Our objection was useless. Classes were still suspended. Ninety percent of the second-year courses were suspended!"
"How could that be?" Canaan asked in surprise.
Although many classes have been suspended intermittently before, there has been no announcement indicating that these classes will not be held.
Canaan really didn't expect that he would actually stop so many classes in the second grade at once.
"The fighting between the major empires has obviously eased up recently. There are only one or two months left in autumn. By the time winter comes, it will be time for a truce..."
"Truce?" Flo sneered, "Isn't it? A truce on the battlefield is a good time to confront each other outside the battlefield."
Canaan smiled bitterly and said, "I know the Magician Association can't stay out of it, but will Braceside also be implicated? What is the situation now? What do the other grades say?"
Flo pursed her lips tightly, her eyes fixed on the trophy in the side cabinet.
That college finals that changed everything ended with Braceside winning the championship.
Even though they failed in the third round, their victories in the first and second rounds allowed them to secure the championship title in advance.
Flo still remembers the Trial of the Sea and the Mirror Heart. Although Lu Yi's magic power erupted immediately after he left the trial, he won that game.
Lu Yi missed the third game due to the magic riot, but he used his presence in the first two rounds to help the academy win the final victory.
This trophy belongs to Braceside and also to Lu Yi, Flo thought absentmindedly.
After winning, the academy originally wanted to wait for Lu Yi to wake up before holding the award ceremony. But who knew that Lu Yi, the biggest contributor, would be unconscious for a long time.
What's worse is that the news of his awakening came before the bad news of the further outbreak of war. Under the pressure of the tense situation, the award ceremony still did not wait for Lu Yi.
The award ceremony was ultimately held hastily.
Strictly speaking, that grand ceremony had nothing to do with the word "hasty". Both the luxurious decoration and the precious prizes were jaw-dropping goodies.
But Flo felt that no matter how grand the ceremony was, it was just a ceremony full of regrets and incompleteness.
The person who should be holding the trophy is not here. Even though it is glorious, it is also extremely regrettable.
Flo's mind was in a mess, and finally she inexplicably recalled the day when the finals began.
The presidents of the three major colleges gathered together to chat and laugh. Who could have thought that a tense situation would come so quickly?
Fro sighed silently, and Canaan's eyes became more anxious. But even so, he didn't say anything to urge him, as if he was waiting for the final judgment, anxious and nervous.
“There are thirty professors and eighty-two teaching assistants resident at Bryside.
"Except for those who cannot leave because they have to return to their own countries, those who have been urgently recalled by the Magicians Association, and those who have been forced to leave and remain silent for various other reasons, there are only three professors and five teaching assistants who can still teach.
"Although there are not many courses for fourth-year students, the professors have to personally monitor the more practical teaching. Two of the three professors are working hard for the graduating fourth-year students. The more turbulent the times, the more popular these graduates who are obviously outstanding will be... As for those civilian graduates, who else can take care of them except Braceside?"
Flo sighed after she finished speaking, "And the first-year students who have just entered the school are the ones who need guidance the most, so it is understandable that the second-year and third-year students who have already started to get on the right track are temporarily left alone, right?
"Although I had been unwilling to give up the fight before, once the college's decision was finalized, I had no choice but to accept it."
Canaan fell silent after hearing that. He pulled up the corners of his mouth with difficulty and said reluctantly, "Is that so... At worst, we can all repeat the second grade together and stay in the second grade for another year."
"Is it a question of staying another year?" Flo sighed again.
"The Church is really crazy. They haven't even suppressed the commotion of the believers yet, and they are already forcing the Magicians Association... This is simply too crazy."
The three major academies where magicians come from, Lasvino, which is occupied by imperial nobles, and Saint Dover, known as the Vatican Academy, the positions of both sides are extremely clear, except for Braceside.
In the past, when the two sides were at peace, it was fine, and Braceside could be impartial and neutral.
But now the two sides have obviously torn their relations apart. At this time, a third party with a certain amount of power will not be able to remain unscathed no matter what it does.
"How long do you think Braceside will be temporarily closed?" Canaan asked.
Flo glanced at him weakly and whispered, "I don't know. Let's see how long the Magicians Association can hold out..."
She really couldn't be optimistic.
"It's useless to think too much. We still have to improve our magic power!" Canaan stood up straight and said, "At least we can't give up on ourselves. If we can't get a professor, we can always get one as an assistant professor, right?!"
Fro was infected by his enthusiasm, rubbed her face and said: "You are right, I will contact the teaching assistant now. Even if there is no professor teaching at the moment, we can't waste time..."
…
New victory, the palace.
“Swoosh—”
The sharp arrow pierced through the cold wind and hit the dark red bull's eye.
After a bucket of arrows was shot into the air, Lu Yi slowly put down the huge and heavy bow.
The guard took the bow respectfully and retreated silently.
Lu Yi glanced at Ares who had just appeared and said nothing.
He didn't ask Ares what he had just done, but Ares took the initiative to ask, "Would you like to guess what I was doing?"
"No." Lu Yi said without hesitation.
There was no need to waste his curiosity on such a place.
"Okay." Ares said regretfully, "Then this secret may not be revealed until later."
Lu Yi didn't take the secret he told to heart and turned to walk towards the hall where government affairs were handled.
He has recently suddenly fallen in love with archery.
It is not a magical bow and arrow, but just an ordinary bow and arrow.
Even with such an ordinary bow and arrow, because it could not withstand his magnificent magic power, Lu Yi had to hold his breath and control every step of the archery, how much force to use, how much subtle magic to use to wrap the arrow tip...
This process can make Lu Yi calm and clear his mind for a short time.
You have to give yourself some breathing space.
There are endless government affairs to deal with during the day, and I have to work hard to do them at night.
Sometimes Lu Yi couldn't help but think jokingly that he was really dedicated to his work.
Sit back at the table.
In just half an afternoon, the desk was once again piled with documents.
Lu Yi sighed and buried his head on the table.
His voice came out muffled.
"Teacher Ares, how about you help me kill Callisto, okay?"
Ares looked at him and found it a little funny, but a small part of his heart collapsed and became soft.
So when Lu Yi heard Ares, he pretended to be serious and said:
"Ah, I want to help you too, but Lu Yi, if you cheat, you may never see me again. I am now suppressed to the point where I can't even maintain Eris's clone, let alone call on divine power."
And it is highly likely, no, it should be certain, that the rules will not allow him to interfere, Ares thought.
He is now just a human with some strength, and a personal guard of the king.
Lu Yi didn't respond immediately.
After a long while, he said, "...then forget it."
Lu Yi raised his head again and started to work resignedly.
The first document made his expression serious.
Braeside officially suspended classes yesterday.
Just when Lu Yi was practicing archery, Braceside suddenly announced that the school would be temporarily closed and his return date was uncertain.
"The Holy See can't bear it anymore, and Callisto can't bear it anymore." Lu Yi sneered.
I just received a letter from Wavelin this morning. Although the wording was cautious and restrained, Lu Yi, who was familiar with him, could easily see the determination to do anything behind the letter.
Everything was going as he expected, but he didn't know how big a fire Wavelin could ignite.
…
Katifan, on the city wall.
Wavelin placed his hands on the bricks of the city wall, his eyes fixed on the residents of Kadifan coming and going below, with an endless wilderness behind him.
He was waiting for a gust of wind.
Today, the wind arrived as promised.
With the help of the wind, newspapers containing the truth were flying all over the city of Katifan.
Next, it's his turn.
Wavelin took a deep breath, and in a trance he seemed to hear a familiar call from the past.
Well, he won't hold back this time.
The author has something to say:
[Spread flowers] Don't worry, Wavelin won't die. I'm planning to write a sequel about his retirement.
I am still too soft-hearted 2333. Many bentos have not been sent out. Sad [poor]
