Chapter 185 Lanqi's Improper Countdown
Surrounded by soft light-colored walls, the morning sun shines through the large windows to illuminate the conference room, and the light and shadows on the green plants seem to be dancing fairies.
At this moment, this usually quiet and calm room became unusually lively! In stark contrast to the overall atmosphere, Adams, who was standing by the French window and talking to Lanqi, was slightly stunned.
He didn't expect Lanqi to actually agree, and agree so readily.
Betting like this is just a small matter.
Is this the self-confidence of the amazing genius cultivated by High Priest Loren?
He can even make decisions about the dean's affairs.
Lanqi's tone didn't sound like a joke at all, and it even sounded unquestionable.
Adams thought about it carefully and realized that Lanci, who had just helped the High Priest Loren kill the Saint of Destruction under his arch-enemy, the Bishop of Destruction Ivanos, a few days ago, did have the capital to do so.
He believed that Lanqi would not break the promise he made in front of so many teachers and students.
And Lanqi will surely make a big request, because the promise Lanqi agreed to is itself very significant.
but.
If there really is a chance to get that playboy Loren to apologize to Julianna in person, Adams will definitely do his best!
This was the only thing he, as the strongest third-year student at the Royal Academy of Alolan, could do for Knight Commander Juliana.
Although his opponent, Lanci, is calm and composed, which is not what a man of his age should be, it is said that Lanci once had a defeat at Ikerit Academy - he lost to Tserwini, a gold-level challenger in the third year of the Knight Academy, in a one-on-one duel.
In addition, the senior students of the Sage Academy also told Adams frankly that Ranch did not defeat the Saint of Destruction Adairis alone, but joined forces with challengers from the entire Shadow World to kill Adairis. There is still a big gap in hard power between this and Adams, who was able to fight the Saint of Decay alone.
So Adams was sure that he could definitely beat Ranch in many competitions.
However, Adams disdains to do such a thing. He will choose a competition method that is fair to both parties, so that Lanqi and Sage Academy will lose with conviction.
"So what are your requests?"
Adams asked solemnly.
"If I win, please ask Knight Commander Juliana to come to the capital of Hutton and date Dean Loren for a day."
Lanqi smiled slightly and said lightly while stroking the cat's back.
"Lanqi, well done!"
"We must win! Give Dean Loren a big surprise!"
After the words fell, even the teachers in the conference room started to cheer.
“…”
Teacher Theresa, who had originally planned to stop Dian Lanqi, lowered her head upon hearing this, and looked around frantically, not daring to raise her head.
She was speechless after seeing the atmosphere. Ranchi had chosen the style of play that was in line with the people's wishes. Anyone who tried to stop Ranchi at this time would definitely be stopped by everyone!
Amid the cheers of the entire conference room, Adams was a little confused when he heard Lanqi's request.
Then, he shook his head suddenly and refused:
"No, I can't make this decision."
Adams knew the two requests sounded equal.
But he couldn't possibly promise Juliana to date Loren, and he couldn't accept such a thing happening! "Is it not possible..."
Lanqi was silent for a while, stroking the cat in his hand. He didn't look disappointed at all, but just observed Adams' expression.
"I didn't expect that Adams-san thought so highly of me. I thought I would definitely lose... Why don't you consider my proposal and have a competition without any stakes?"
Lanci said with an innocent smile, as if he had no competitive spirit at all.
“……!!”
Hearing Lanci's caring words, Adams couldn't help but clench his fists.
He had come to the Sage's House with the intention of challenging the opponent, and he didn't think he would lose to Ranchi!
Thinking back to the rumors he heard about Loren this morning, Adams just felt like he couldn't stand it!
“…”
The cat owner who was being held by Lanqi looked up at Lanqi with a confused expression.
It felt that Lanqi's words were obviously very friendly and humble, but for some reason it felt like there was a strong flavor of matcha!
That’s not right. This boy must be naturally pure.
While thinking about it, the cat boss continued to pretend to be an ordinary cat, lying quietly in Lanqi's hand. He must be worrying too much. How could there be a male green tea bitch?
Take a closer look.
"Or this way, Mr. Adams, can you use communication magic to contact Ms. Juliana so I can talk?"
Lanci seemed to be aware of Adams' predicament and suggested thoughtfully.
He knew that Adams was in a dilemma. Adams did not want to give up the opportunity to have Dean Loren apologize directly to Knight Commander Julianna, but he could not agree to Lanci's conditions.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
"If Miss Juliana can personally approve this bet, you won't be embarrassed, right?"
Lanqi added, asking.
When he meets someone in need of help, Lanqi will lend a helping hand. He has only one goal in doing good deeds, which is to meet everyone's demands.
"……good."
Adams hesitated for a moment, then nodded in agreement.
He knew this was an opportunity to step down.
Adams was sure that no matter how good Lanci's attitude was, if he dared to raise the same request as Lanci in the bet with Juliana, Juliana would just hang up the phone.
At that time, the bet cannot be established, so naturally both parties can take a step back and discuss the bet again.
Next.
Lanci and Adams came to a sophisticated magic device in the center of the conference room.
This is a terminal that can carry out ultra-long-distance communication magic. With the help of this magical device, it can transfer at the stations set up by the United Council of the Kingdom of the Southern Continent in various countries, and achieve real-time communication over longer distances than any communication magic.
Adams inserted his sixth-level magic card [Ultra-Long-Distance Communication Program] into the device and skillfully operated the crystal screen on the console to connect with the Kingdom of Alolan.
As everyone in the conference room waited quietly, Adams contacted the Kingdom of Alolan and waited for Juliana to answer the call.
Not long after, a proud and beautiful female voice came from the receiver in Adams' hand.
"Adams? What do you want from me in Hutton Kingdom?"
"Lady Juliana, I'm Adams, and I'm currently at Ikerit College..."
Adams didn't know how to describe this incident.
"Leave it to me, Adams-san."
Lanci smiled and took the receiver from Adams.
He said, "Hello, Miss Juliana. I am Loren's student. Adams has challenged us to a competition. If Adams wins, Dean Loren will come to the Kingdom of Alolan to apologize to you. If I win, Dean Loren hopes that you can come to the Kingdom of Hutton. He still wants to apologize to you in person. But if you can forgive him, he hopes to invite you to visit the capital and tell you many important things he wants to say."
“…”
There seemed to be silence on the other side for a long time.
"I agree."
After saying that, Juliana on the other end hung up the call.
At this moment, all the students and teachers in the conference room stood up from their chairs in cheers.
