It turns out that Cassius's name is still very useful.
After confirming that Estel was indeed Cassius' daughter, General Morgan quickly released her. After all, Cassius was the Sword Master of the Kingdom of Liberl, and it was impossible for such a thing to happen to him. Fang Zheng had originally said that he would give them a ride, but this time Joshua said that they were out to participate in training as quasi-guerrillas, so he thanked Fang Zheng for his kindness.
Well... Fang Zheng can only say that he is very sorry about this.
Fei was very unhappy about not getting anything out of this trip, and in order to appease her, Fang Zheng drove her directly to the Johnnys Royal Academy - the school was still on vacation anyway, so as a teacher, it was no problem for him to bring someone here for a walk. Of course, to be on the safe side, Fang Zheng still asked Fei to change into the Royal Academy uniform.
"Hmm... He looks quite like a student."
Looking at Fei, who was wearing a miniskirt, showing off her slender figure and full of youthfulness, Fang Zheng nodded with satisfaction.
"Why don't you come to the Johnnys Royal Academy? I can recruit you as a special student, okay?"
"No, please."
Fei gave a straightforward answer to Fang Zheng's question. Fang Zheng could understand this. In fact, Fei didn't hate studying from the beginning. The problem was that when a person was at the bottom for too long, she would naturally develop a dislike for studying. After all, among these people, Ling was a genius among geniuses, Anjie was also very hardworking, and Enaya was older, so it was not difficult for her to study. Only Fei was originally a girl from a border civilian family, and her knowledge was only at the level of attending Sunday school once a week.
In this case, since you are crushed by the first three in studying, you naturally lose interest in it.
Not to mention that Tio's arrival further hit Fei's confidence. As a little girl who could compete with Ling, her presence directly made Fei go from the fourth from the bottom to the fifth from the bottom...
Well, Fang Zheng felt that if he were in this situation, he would have given up studying long ago.
On the other hand, although Fei didn't like attending classes, she really liked learning combat and wilderness survival skills and knowledge. Compared to Ling, Fei was the real militant. It was just that she looked sleepy and expressionless on weekdays. Only Fang Zheng knew that Fei was just in "energy saving mode" and would immediately switch to "overclocking mode" when facing a battle.
Fang Zheng also took Fei and started to walk around the school, and did not forget to introduce her to others.
"This is the health room."
“This is the sports warehouse.”
“This is the rooftop.”
"This is the music room. You can use the piano as you like."
When Fang Zheng brought Fei to the restaurant, he saw two familiar figures lying motionless on the table.
"Yo, Alyssa? Ellie? What are you doing here?"
"Ah, Mr. Founder!?"
"Ah, hello, teacher."
Hearing Fang Zheng's voice, the two girls who were lying on the table in a daze like dead fish immediately raised their heads and hurriedly greeted Fang Zheng. Then they looked at Fei beside Fang Zheng curiously.
"Mr. Fang Zheng, who is this child? Is he a new student?"
"No, she is my sister. I will bring her to the Johnnys Royal Academy during the holidays."
"But isn't that a uniform she's wearing?"
"Oh, it's more convenient to wear this way. By the way, why are you two back so early?"
Fang Zheng looked at the two of them curiously. He knew about Alyssa. She said she was going to travel in the Kingdom of Liberl. She might be tired and came back to rest. As for Ellie... Fang Zheng remembered correctly, she should have said she was going back to Crossbell?
"Ah, don't mention it!!"
Hearing Fang Zheng's question, Alyssa became furious.
"I originally wanted to go to Perth to have a good look around, but not long after I arrived in Perth, they issued a no-fly order, and I couldn't even take the scheduled ships! Not only that, a group of soldiers came to search everywhere, and after knowing that I was an imperial citizen, they questioned me! Because there were no scheduled ships, the prices were so high, and many things were out of stock. I was really pissed off!"
“…”
Looking at the helpless and furious Alyssa, Fang Zheng silently gave her a candle. When the scheduled ship disappeared at the beginning, the military thought it was the work of the Empire or the Republic. Alyssa was an Imperial, so it was understandable to interrogate her.
Of course, what I think is another matter.
"What about you, Ellie?"
"I……"
When Ellie heard Fang Zheng's question, she looked unhappy.
"My grandfather and I had a quarrel, so I went back to school early."
Oh... this is normal. Fang Zheng encountered this kind of thing when he was a student.
"In that case, you guys should relax in school. By the way, do you want me to tell you a story?"
"story?"
Hearing this, Ellie looked at Fang Zheng curiously, while Alyssa trembled all over.
"don't want!"
"Alyssa?"
"You'd better not listen to Mr. Founder's story, Ellie, or you will regret it!"
This is all the psychological trauma from a few years ago...
Looking at Alyssa, who was pale and holding Ellie as if to tell her not to commit suicide, Fang Zheng was speechless. Didn't I just tell you about Silent Hill on the way to Regrum? Why is there such a big reaction?
In fact, Fang Zheng didn't plan to tell them a particularly scary story. At most, he would tell them a story about a ghost doll named Hanako...
“Knock, knock.”
Just as the two sides were chatting, someone suddenly knocked on the door, then pushed it open and walked in.
"Excuse me...ah, Mr. Fang Zheng? Miss Alyssa and Miss Ellie are here too?"
The person who walked into the restaurant was none other than Chloë. Her Royal Highness the Princess was still the same as always, but Fang Zheng was somewhat surprised that she showed up in school at this time.
"Chloë? What are you doing at school?"
"Ah, I'm here to hand in the history assignment that my teacher assigned to me... May I ask who this person is..."
"Oh, this is Fei. She's my sister, I guess. She was very curious about where I work, so I brought her here to have a look."
"Hello, Fei, I'm Chloë Lynsey, please give me your guidance."
"……Hello."
Facing Chloë's smiling greeting, Fei nodded silently in return, while Fang Zheng glanced at the time on his watch.
"It's already evening, how are you going to have dinner?"
Because the school was on holiday, there was naturally no chef in the restaurant, so Fang Zheng was very curious about how they would solve their dinner.
"I bought a sandwich."
"I want to lose weight."
“You guys…”
After listening to the two people's answers, Fang Zheng shook his head helplessly.
"How can you not eat on time when you are young? It's not good for your health. Oh, in that case, why don't I just cook dinner here so that we can eat together and it will be more lively. How do you think?"
"Hey? Mr. Founder, are you going to cook? Then I won't eat the sandwich."
Hearing Fang Zheng's question, Alyssa decisively changed her mind. She had tasted Fang Zheng's cooking when she was camping in the wild. When she recalled it now, her mouth was watering. Ellie was still somewhat hesitant, but after Alyssa's persuasion, she nodded in agreement.
After obtaining the consent of the two, Fang Zheng also looked at Chloë.
"Then Chloë, you should stay and have dinner with us."
"Hey? Can I stay, too? Wouldn't that be too much trouble for you guys?"
"Of course, it's getting late now. I'll take you home after dinner. Of course, if you have anything else to say, we can talk."
You can't let a princess walk back by herself.
"Then I'll trouble you, Mr. Fang Zheng."
In response to Fang Zheng's request, Chloë smiled and nodded, accepting Fang Zheng's invitation.
After that, everyone enjoyed a wonderful dinner. Ellie and Alyssa, who originally looked unhappy, now had a smile on their faces. After eating and drinking, the two girls returned to their rooms contentedly to rest, while Fang Zheng drove away from the academy with Chloë and Fei, heading towards the palace.
"I didn't expect that we would chat for so long."
Looking at the dark night outside, Fang Zheng couldn't help but sigh, and Chloë nodded.
"Yes, this is the first time I've chatted with a friend for such a long time... But it's still very pleasant, isn't it? Mr. Fang Zheng? I really hope it can go on like this forever..."
"Haha, enjoy your student life now. After all, there are some things that can only be enjoyed now."
Hearing Chloë's sigh, Fang Zheng shrugged his shoulders. Students should live a relaxed student life. Once they enter society, it will not be so easy to live such a carefree life. Especially for Chloë's identity, it is even more so... Hmm?
Just as the car drove out of the school's mountain road and came to a fork in the road, Fang Zheng suddenly stepped on the brakes, then he turned his head and looked to the side.
"What's wrong, Mr. Fang Zheng?"
"No... Look, there's a fire over there. Is something wrong?"
Fang Zheng stared at the night sky in the distance and could clearly see that in the forest under the night sky, there was a blazing fire emerging. Seeing this scene, Chlos's face turned pale.
"That's... the direction of the orphanage!!"
"It's Maria Orphanage."
Fang Zheng certainly knew what orphanage Chlos was talking about, because Starlight Technology also donated money to this orphanage and he had even visited it.
And now... there's a fire there?
"Hold on tight!"
At this time, Fang Zheng turned the steering wheel without hesitation. Then, accompanied by a roar, the dark chariot turned instantly and roared towards the end of the street where flames were soaring into the sky.
