Chapter 186 The Storm Caused by Lanqi
“……!?”
Adams on the side was once again defeated by Lanqi.
As expected of a student taught by the scumbag Loren, with such calm words, he might be able to coax more than a dozen fiancées at the same time! Originally, Adams found it hard to imagine how Loren could survive in such a Shura field, but after seeing Lanqi, Adams believed it.
"Well, Mr. Adams, our bet has been witnessed by Knight Commander Juliana. Now, please choose the content of the competition. I will agree to any type of challenge."
Lanqi said while holding the cat with a smile, as if he had just made a casual phone call.
"……good!"
There was indeed nothing wrong with Lanci's description of the bet, and Adams had nothing to refute.
After a moment's silence, Adams simply answered without further ado.
"Then Lanqi, even if I have reasons to win, I will not specifically choose a competition method that is more advantageous to me. I will defeat you openly and honestly, and make you admit defeat with conviction."
Adams declared.
“I’m looking forward to it.”
Lanci remained elegant and did not seem to be bothered by winning or losing.
Or maybe this gesture means that no matter what challenge Adams puts forward, he will definitely win.
Adams nodded. Lanci finally became serious as he wished. This was what he wanted to see.
"Let's compete in an event that both of us are good at, challenging the Shadow World. We will use the endless mode of the artificial Shadow World, lock the ranks to the second rank, and disable magic cards. We will have a pure battle of mind and willpower."
Adams pointed at Lanci and said.
With a murmur in the conference room, the other senior students and teachers quickly understood which shadow world Adams was talking about.
He must be referring to the second-order artificial shadow world [The Cage of Despair], an extreme test of humanity's will to survive.
Because it is very famous and is often used for practice, everyone is familiar with this shadow world, and it itself has extremely high random changes, so there is no problem with fairness.
But in this shadow world, it is hard for others to say whether Ranch or Adams will win.
"No problem, how about we meet in the seventh floor atrium of the Learning and Education Building in an hour?"
Lanci inquired.
Even with the school's permission and the support of the Magic Engineering Institute, it would still take some time to activate the artificial shadow world startup terminal located in the atrium on the seventh floor.
"Okay, see you in an hour."
Adams turned around and left the Sages' Academy meeting room as if he had won.
A once-in-a-lifetime opportunity was before his eyes, a perfect situation that he had never imagined would exist even when he first arrived in Ikerit.
His eyes were full of fighting spirit at this moment, and he did not hide his arrogance at all. He decided to teach the Sages' Academy a lesson today.
…
In the autumn of Ikerite, strong winds swept across the entire campus. The air currents whistled between the buildings, and waves of leaves danced in the air, as if it was a sign of an impending rainstorm.
Pushed by the wind, those golden and red autumn leaves left the branches, fluttering down, or riding the wind through the ancient bell tower, deepening the precipitation of time and bringing the signal of late autumn.
The clock tower looks even more solemn in the wind. It stands there quietly, letting the wind blow and the hands move.
The students' coats on the road were rustling in the wind, but their eyes remained firm. They walked quickly forward in groups of three or five, against the wind.
"Why are you still going to the classroom? Go watch the fun."
"If it's any later, there won't be any room at the Jera Memorial Plaza."
Amidst this rumor, many students were telling each other that there would be a special show to watch later.
Adams, the third-year student of the Yalolan Royal College's chief melee department, will have a derby with Ranch, the representative student of the Sage Academy! In addition to the outdoor giant screen at the Jera Memorial Square, which is the best public viewing location and will not stop broadcasting 24 hours a day, the school also has many independent team activity rooms equipped with magic screens, which can also be watched indoors.
An independent magic engineering laboratory located in the Magic Engineering College. The lights on the ceiling are evenly scattered in every corner like stars. A magic screen is embedded in the circular wall, displaying various campus information.
Many students from the School of Magic Engineering were concentrating on their research at the workbenches scattered around, and there were also new students discussing the major events of the school today.
"Lanqi may not win this time. Don't be too optimistic. Even if Frey comes, he may not be able to beat Adams in this survival movie world."
"It's more interesting when there's suspense! Tsk tsk, have you heard about the bet between Lanqi and Adams? If they lose, I can't imagine how explosive the show will be."
"I'm afraid it was Dean Loren who caused the explosion."
“…”
Kallen, a second-year gold-level card maker at the Alolan Royal Academy who was leading a tour in the distance, heard the news and sighed helplessly.
"Senior Adams is messing around again."
Then she smiled again, stroking her light-colored hair, and looked at Prince Ainol who was showing her around with her green eyes, "Your Highness Ainol, you are calm and steady, and you deserve the trust and admiration of the juniors."
"Haha, no way."
Prince Ainol already had great respect for Kallen, a genius gold-level card maker who was younger than him, and when he heard her continuous praise, he couldn't help but laugh from the bottom of his heart.
“…”
Sophia on the side looked away, as if out of sight, out of mind.
Originally, everyone in the Magic Academy thought that this genius card-making girl from the Kingdom of Alolan would be a person who was proud of her talent.
Unexpectedly, she not only had outstanding talents, but also had a humble and friendly attitude. She soon won the unanimous recognition and love of the Magic Engineering Academy.
Sophia also knew that Karen was a very natural and lovely girl.
But she just felt that Kallen had been getting too close to Prince Ainor, intentionally or unintentionally, in the past two days.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
Sophia had been holding back and hadn't said anything. Last time at the Card Creators Association, it was because of her strong possessiveness over Enol that she caused a ridiculous joke.
“…”
When Sophia was distracted, the subtle changes in her expression seemed to be noticed by Karin inadvertently.
"Sophia-san, I'm sorry, I got too close to your classmate Enol again, you won't misunderstand me, will you?"
Karen covered her lips with some worry and said to Sophia with concern.
"He's not mine!"
Sophia, who had come to her senses in an instant, sounded noticeably irritable, failing to conceal the emotions that had been pent up for two days.
“…”
After being scolded by Sophia, Karen gradually lowered her eyes and said "hmm" with a little grievance.
"Sophia, Karen-san means no harm."
Enol said quickly to Sophia.
If their Magic Academy bullied Kallen for no reason, it would make the entire Ikerit Academy appear petty.
"Feel sorry……"
Sophia quickly calmed down and lowered her head.
A gradually aggrieved and bitter feeling filled Sophia's heart, as if it blocked her throat and made her unable to form any words.
She felt that if this continued, she might have to see a psychiatrist.
Or is there any love guru who can help her.
…
The gradually thinning sunlight shines through the large windows onto the wooden furniture in the shop. This is a popular cafe in the center of Ikrit, set up in the site of a former printing factory, and the editorial office of the Hutton Times is upstairs.
The store is filled with the morning hustle and bustle, with people of all kinds briefly meeting here. The soft sounds of coffee cups clinking, conversations, and light music in the background interweave in the air, forming a picture of a relaxed city life.
Sitting next to a long table were several students from the Royal Academy of Alolan, leisurely enjoying their brunch.
One student was conscientiously sipping a latte with an elaborate latte art pattern floating on the cup, while the student next to him was enjoying a bagel with avocado, fried egg and fresh tomato.
Sometimes they chat, sometimes they immerse themselves in the newspapers in their hands. Here, they can easily switch between study and relaxation modes, making people feel that this is not just a breakfast shop, but more like their second campus.
"There's more news today."
"Go and ask Senior Lu Weixier to come, we need to let the whole school know this news within an hour!"
At the long table, one of the students from the Royal Academy of Alolan was enjoying the food leisurely. After hearing the news that the Ikerit students who had just entered the restaurant were talking about Lanci's plan to compete with Adams in the Shadow World.
He thought about it and put down the fork in his hand.
The time when Lanqi will enter the artificial shadow world.
That would definitely be the best time to take action and get rid of the Duke's daughter.
