Chapter 62 The Pope's Visit
Lu Yi stood up from the chair with a red face, and then slowly calmed down.
The only thing that made him feel fortunate was that Canaan and Piero were having a happy conversation nearby and didn't notice his embarrassment at all.
Lu Yi patted his flushed cheeks and walked towards Canaan to urge him to put on makeup.
Canaan and Biero seemed to be talking about something exciting, with their hands on each other's shoulders, looking very close.
Then Lu Yi saw Canaan seemed to take out a piece of hard paper like a flyer from the space ring.
With Lu Yi's excellent eyesight, he could clearly see the contents of the flyer and the enlarged and bold title.
——Invitation letter to the Lu Yi Klein Fan Club (Brayside Headquarters Edition)
Lu Yi rushed forward and quickly took the flyer before Piero stretched out his hand.
"Why do you carry something like this with you?"
Lu Yi quickly stuffed the exquisite coated paper into his space ring and looked at Canaan in despair.
This invitation is extremely beautifully made. You can tell that the person who designed it put a lot of effort into it, and it seems that he was worried that the latest printing technology is not perfect enough. This invitation has a strong smell of transfer and replication magic.
Canaan looked up and saw Lu Yi and was stunned for a moment.
His gaze fell on Lu Yi's slightly pink lips for some unknown reason, and his heart trembled inexplicably.
There was still a faint powder on Lu Yi's cheeks and neck, and his once rosy lips now seemed to be covered with the same powder as his skin.
Canaan struggled to move his gaze away from Lu Yi's lips, his eyes were so confused that he didn't know where to look.
After a long while, he stared at his hands and said hesitantly, "Each of our core members has a stack of these invitations..."
As he spoke, several identical sheets of coated paper appeared in his hand again.
"No, you use magic power to copy this kind of thing, isn't it really a waste?" Lu Yi asked in confusion after hearing the Canaanite's explanation.
Lu Yi couldn't understand and was greatly surprised.
"How can this be called a waste!" Canaan was also puzzled. "I learned new magic, practiced the use of magic power, and did what I like. The finished product can also develop people who like it. It's really a wonderful thing to kill two birds with one stone!"
Lu Yi was speechless, "I am narrow-minded..."
"Um... Canaan? Canaan, right? Come here quickly——"
The senior sister who had taken the things started to arrest people again. Canaan wanted to say something else, but before he could open his mouth, he was ruthlessly taken away by the senior sister.
Lu Yi sat on the stool where Canaan had just sat.
Piero was still laughing, and patted him on the back with great joy, saying, "I am now also a member of the support group! I have been recognized by the organization!"
Lu Yi looked at him helplessly, "As long as you are happy..."
"Speaking of which, why are you here?" Lu Yi naturally changed the subject and said, "Is the freshman award ceremony also something that the deputy head of the class is responsible for?"
"Of course not!" Piero said mysteriously, "I'm here for a reason! Saman told me that a big shot will come to the awards ceremony for this freshman competition! Do you know who it is?"
Piero had an expression that Lu Yi would never expect, and he just waited for him to shake his head curiously before revealing the truth.
Unexpectedly, Lu Yi said calmly: "We just ran into His Holiness the Pope in the corridor. Are there other important people?"
Piero's expression froze on his face, and he said in shock: "What? The Pope is here too?!!"
"God of Light, that's His Holiness the Pope! He actually came to this little awards ceremony!"
"Lu Yi, you are truly blessed by God! You actually ran into the Pope in the corridor...Are you really not going to go to the lottery shop in the back alley to draw a prize after the award ceremony?! This is incredible good luck, maybe you can win the grand prize of 50,000 gold coins in one fell swoop!"
Lu Yi blinked and tilted his head and said, "Do you think I need to win this big prize?"
Piero glanced at his valuable private clothes under his school uniform, then at the unique and expensive watch on his wrist, and said sadly: "...It seems that you really don't need this big prize - God of Light! Why don't you leave this big prize to someone who needs it? For example, your most loyal believer, Piero!!"
Lu Yi cooperated by making the sign of the cross on his chest, "May the God of Light bless you."
Piero raised his hands in a serious manner and paused in front of Lu Yi for a few seconds, then crossed his hands on his chest with a sincere expression.
"This is the blessing of the God-favored One. I will go and draw the lottery right after the award ceremony!"
Lu Yi was happy and advised: "Don't be impulsive, don't get carried away, the probability of winning the lottery is very low. Even the God of Light cannot promise every wish to win the lottery..."
"I don't care, I'll just shoot once! Just once!"
Lu Yi raised his eyebrows, "Then I wish you success."
"But if the big shot you're talking about isn't the Pope, who is it?"
"The principal of our college!" Piero said confidently.
"Although he may not be as good as His Holiness the Pope, our principal is at least a sixth-rank great magician! Doesn't that make him a big shot?"
"I think you're fooling me. You weren't so excited when the principal spoke before..."
Under Lu Yi's suspicious gaze, Biero chuckled and said, "As expected of you! There is indeed another big shot!"
"The president of the Magic Association is here." He whispered.
The current president of the Magic Association, Reed Gert, is one of only three ninth-level magicians of the human race.
Lu Yi glanced sideways and nodded, "...He is indeed an incredible figure. No wonder so many people came to the award ceremony today."
“No, no, no!” Piero shook his head repeatedly and said exaggeratedly: “Not many people know this news. These people outside are definitely coming for you!”
"I even think that the president of the Magic Association is here for you..." Biero whispered, "No kidding, the freshman competition has been held dozens or even hundreds of times, but the Magic Association has only sent one elder member at most. This is the first time in history that the president of the association has attended!"
"Besides, you just said you ran into the Pope!"
Piero couldn't help but exclaim in amazement as he spoke, "Principal, Chairman of the Association, His Holiness the Pope... There are only three great magicians of the ninth rank in our human race, and now two of them are here! This is a grand scene that I could only dream of! It's really incredible..."
"What big scene?"
Dui pushed the door open and walked in, glanced at Canaan who was still dressing up in front of him, then turned his head to look at Lu Yi and Biero who were sitting in a row.
"What kind of big scene could it be? An awards ceremony." Biero shrugged. "Boss Saman must have told you that!"
Dui glanced at him and said, "You still remember the award ceremony? I asked you to find someone and he would have found him by now. The principal is almost done with his speech and the teacher in charge backstage is urging him to finish!"
"No, she's putting on makeup! What else can I do!" Piero shouted immediately.
Dui ignored him, patted Lu Yi who was sitting and said, "Lu Yi, follow me!"
Hearing this, Lu Yi stood up and followed her.
Dui couldn't help but look at Lu Yi's pink lips again.
The first thing she noticed when she came in was the little bit of powder on Lu Yi's lips.
"Your makeup is amazing."
"Well, thank you?" Lu Yi pursed his lips subconsciously.
The lipstick on his lips made him feel a little uncomfortable. Lu Yi had been deliberately ignoring the feeling of the lipstick on his lips, but after Dui said that, he couldn't help but pay attention to it again.
"Oh, my dear Lu Yi baby, stop pursing your lips! Otherwise you will have to reapply your lipstick again!"
The senior student looked up and saw Lu Yi pursing his lips.
Although she was struck by the beauty attack in her heart, she still spoke seriously on the surface to stop Lu Yi's unconscious behavior.
"Okay, sorry, I will pay attention..." Recalling the embarrassment of putting on lipstick just now, Lu Yi quickly said that he would not purse his lips anymore.
The senior student then nodded with satisfaction and continued to torment Canaan.
But her actions were not as gentle as when she treated Lu Yi just now.
Jianan closed his eyes tightly and held his breath and said, "Senior, are you okay?"
The senior student knocked his head with her backhand and said impatiently, "Why are you in such a hurry? Don't you know that putting on makeup takes time?"
"…But I saw Lu Yi was quite fast just now?"
The senior student was happy and asked, "Do you want to open your eyes and look at Lu Yi's face again?"
Although it was totally fine for Canaan to be praised as handsome, this kind of handsomeness was not good enough in front of Lu Yi.
Apparently Canaan also knew his own limitations. After hearing what the senior said, he immediately frowned and said, "How presumptuous! I am not worthy of this..."
The senior sister patted his head and said lovingly, "It's okay. If you think that no one is worthy of comparing with him, will you feel better if you think so?"
"Senior, you know how to comfort people. Thank you for your comfort."
Seeing that the senior was still fiddling with it, Dui glanced at his watch and said, "Honey, how long will it take? How about I take Lu Yi to the backstage first, and then ask Biero to take him there?"
"Sure, you guys go first."
The senior student raised her hand and the two of them took a step forward.
When we arrived at the backstage, the other six people were already sitting on small stools, waiting to go on stage.
Four of the six people were acquaintances, and when they saw Lu Yi come in, some wanted to talk to him.
Lu Yi raised his index finger to his lips, signaling for silence.
There was no soundproofing magic in the backstage area, so it was better for them not to talk.
Seeing his actions, the few people who wanted to speak nodded obediently and looked at Lu Yi quietly.
Lu Yi walked to the side gently and looked sideways at the stage.
Only the top eight contestants actually need to go on stage to receive their awards at the award ceremony, and these eight contestants are divided into three groups: the top eight, the top three and the first.
Right behind the stage was the exit of the space magic, separated from the outside by only a dark red curtain. Lu Yi stood beside the large curtain, looking at the stage.
The principal on the stage still looked patient and slow, and his words were neither hurried nor slow.
He had come to the end of his speech and simply thanked all the students for attending and stopped there.
Next is the formal award ceremony.
The names of the eighth to fourth place contestants have been called out on the stage.
Lu Yi looked back at the open door, worried why Canaan had not arrived yet.
The award ceremony was carried out in an orderly manner on the stage. No matter whether they were happy or not, the contestants who ranked eighth to fourth all had smiles on their faces.
At the same time, Canaan finally hurried to the backstage.
The second and third names happened to be called out on the stage.
He was in a hurry to get on stage, and Lu Yi had no time to say anything to him. He could only pat Jianan's shoulder gently when Jianan passed by him and said silently, "Congratulations."
The backstage area that was originally full of people was suddenly empty.
No one knew when Dui slipped away to sit in the audience, and Lu Yi was the only one left backstage.
"Nervous?"
A familiar voice sounded softly behind me.
“Not nervous.”
Lu Yi turned his head and looked behind him.
The person who came was indeed Callisto.
His Holiness changed into a papal robe, the unique style of the Vatican was stiff yet soft. The cuffs were dotted with bright gemstones of various colors, and the entire fabric was covered with exquisite embroidery patterns. The golden and silver colors intertwined, making it extremely gorgeous.
Including the encounter in the corridor, Lu Yi had only met Callisto twice in total.
In both of these, Callisto is wearing a plain white robe.
When Lu Yi unexpectedly saw Callisto in gorgeous clothes, he suddenly felt as if he was the supreme pope who truly stood at the pinnacle of the human race.
His clear light violet eyes were staring at Lu Yi intently, as if Lu Yi was not a stranger he had only met twice, but his most beloved disciple and student.
"What's wrong? Is there something wrong with me?"
Lu Yi shook his head and said truthfully: "No, I just felt a little strange when I suddenly saw His Majesty's majestic appearance. His Majesty's temperament is really impressive."
His words seemed to have inexplicably hit some strange spot in Callisto, causing Callisto to suddenly laugh.
When he smiled, it was as if violets really bloomed in his eyes.
"I'm suddenly very happy, Lu Yi." said Callisto.
"If you suddenly feel strange, it means you felt familiar before."
Callisto stretched out his hand and placed it on Lu Yi's head. He seemed to want to rub Lu Yi's soft hair, but hesitated because he was worried about messing up his hairstyle.
In the end, Callisto just gently touched the ends of Lu Yi's hair.
The first place's name has been called out on the stage.
Callisto looked at Lu Yi with burning eyes and said, "Lu Yi, would you like me to go up with you?"
Lu Yi's fingertips moved slightly.
[“Callisto is Xia’s teacher? Or can I say, is this something that you can’t get even if you wish for it?”]
[Yes, 61!] 857 affirmed, [The hero’s halo is largely due to his teacher.]
Behind most male protagonists, there must be such a respected and great teacher.
"It's my honor." Lu Yi smiled at Callisto.
Lu Yi paused in his steps.
He stopped where he was, wanting Callisto to go first, and then he would follow behind Callisto. But Callisto walked to his side and stopped, looking at him with a smile.
"Let's go."
Walking with the Pope.
What a special favor this is.
Lu Yi looked at Callisto deeply and said softly, "Okay."
The two walked side by side to the front of the stage.
…
"Why hasn't Lu Yi arrived yet..." the red-haired woman holding the banner said impatiently.
The people around her nodded.
"This crappy freshman competition award ceremony is so boring. It's the same every year. If it weren't for baby Lu Yi, I wouldn't have come!"
"I won't come either... I'd rather spend this time practicing the spells I didn't learn in the last class!"
"Yeah, the devil is coming!"
A black-haired man counted the freshmen on the stage and said, "Seven have already come up. The top eight have finished. The next one is Lu Yi!"
The woman perked up after hearing that and said excitedly, "That's faster than I expected. We can grab some food now!"
The other blonde woman twitched her lips slightly and poked her, "Why are you still thinking about eating at this time? The president is still watching on the stage! Otherwise, you can be the vice president of the fan club..."
The red-haired woman stopped communicating with her and instead cheered excitedly.
——Because Lu Yi is about to take office.
"... Now let us welcome the champion of this year's freshman competition, Lu Yi Klein!!!"
"Ahhhhhh!!! Lu Yi! Klein! Klein! Baby Lu Yi!!!"
"Lu Yi - Champion!! Champion! We are number one! We are the champions!"
The red curtain was blown by the breeze and swayed gently.
A blond, blue-eyed boy in a white school uniform slowly walked out from behind the dark red curtain.
The soft sunlight fell on the top of his hair, rippling with golden light. His deep blue eyes were reflecting the crowd below the stage, as if they were born with a pair of affectionate eyes, which made people fall in love with him at first sight. There were no tears in his eyes, but they were still sparkling.
Beside him, a man with platinum blond hair and light violet eyes was looking at him with a smile.
The man was wearing a long robe, looking very dignified and holy, while the boy next to him was wearing a simple white school uniform without any other decorations.
But even so, the young man's appearance was so great that he overshadowed the long-haired man.
His lips were slightly pink, which made his fair skin look even more translucent, and his simple white school uniform outlined his slender waist. His walking posture was perfect, and even the most demanding old-school aristocrats could not find any fault with him.
The two walked onto the stage side by side.
Everyone was screaming for the long-haired man, but their eyes were all fixed on the young man in white.
The audience went completely crazy because of the two people appearing side by side.
“Lu Yi!!! Lu Yi—Ahhhh!”
"Lu Yi, damn the Pope! Lu Yi and the Pope!"
"Mother mother mother!!! The Pope, it's the Pope!!!"
“Pinch me, am I hallucinating? Why do I seem to see His Holiness the Pope…” “Ouch! It hurts!” “It’s not an illusion, ahhhh——”
The crowd became excited, and many people even hit themselves in a trance. Only after feeling the pain did they accept the fact with great shock.
The Pope showed up at a small awards ceremony for a freshman competition!
Who would dare to believe this if I tell them?
If someone had told them before today, even seconds ago, that the Pope would appear at their college's freshman ceremony, all the students at Bleedingside would have thought he was talking nonsense.
If they were in Saint-Dophe, there might be a slight chance that the Pope himself would be present.
But this is Braeside—
How could the Pope come to Braeside's freshman competition awards ceremony?
But this most unlikely thing happened today!
Even many of the nobles who thought highly of themselves were so excited that they almost lost their composure.
"Oh my God! Your Holiness! We couldn't even invite the Pope to attend the coronation ceremony of our king..."
"No, let alone your king ascending the throne, my king died and we couldn't invite the Pope! That's His Holiness the Pope!!"
“God of Light! That’s His Holiness the Pope!”
"Lu Yi! The Pope! Lu Yi and the Pope!!! Ah——they, they are walking together!!! Together!!! Shoulder to shoulder!"
The red-haired woman was also stunned by this completely unexpected situation. Her screams stopped abruptly, and then she burst into even more excited shouts.
"Lu Yi! Boy!!! You have made it!!! The Pope! The Pope! Is the Pope going to give you an award?!!!"
The principal on the stage was slightly stunned, as if he had not expected that Calixto would go on stage with Lu Yi.
But he quickly reacted and said with a smile: "Let's welcome His Holiness the Pope with applause!"
"He will present the award to our freshman competition champion, Lu Yi Klein!"
"Let's cheer for His Holiness the Pope! Cheer for the champion of this year's freshman competition, Luy Klein!"
The audience immediately burst into thunderous applause and continued cheering.
The atmosphere of the freshman competition suddenly changed from its previous dull and boring state to become lively, and everyone was cheering and swaying excitedly.
