Chapter 33: Hyperion's Secret
The atrium examination room, which was originally filled with the smell of gunpowder, has now become strangely quiet.
Both Hyperion and Vivian looked sideways at the floor, unwilling to say another bad word about the other.
“…”
Just as the courtyard was silent.
Lanqi's speech also shocked the other two candidates who were waiting on the side.
Although Lanqi himself may not realize it.
But they felt that Lanqi seemed to have a unique talent for controlling the Shura Field!
Even though this wasn't a Shura field in the strict sense, because Lan Qi could have stayed out of it from the beginning, he took the initiative to intervene! This even made them want to become his apprentice and learn from him.
Isn't this much more practical than magic? Their expressions were soon noticed by Ranchi on the opposite side.
Lanqi looked at the two candidates who looked at him with respect, and smiled and nodded in return.
Sure enough, when I do good things like mediating fights, people will respect me.
Lanqi was very happy to feel respected.
More importantly, the scene of students getting along harmoniously in the examination room is what Lanqi wishes for.
With more respect and understanding, and less contradictions and conflicts, the world will become a better place.
…
Until everyone stayed quietly in the atrium for dozens of seconds.
Accompanied by the sound of hurried footsteps.
Teacher Theresa also returned to the examination room with her small magic instrument.
"Sorry guys, I'm back..."
She finally sent away Ferrat, the examiner of the previous exam. She had been worried that during her absence, the Duchess Hyperion and Princess Vivian, who had a bad relationship, would have a conflict.
However, before Teacher Theresa's voice had completely fallen, she froze in surprise.
At present, the atmosphere in the examination room is unusually harmonious.
Was she overthinking? Theresa shook her head in confusion, reminding herself to focus on the matter at hand.
She quickly walked up to Hyperion and Lanqi and said:
"Congratulations on passing the exam."
Teacher Theresa smiled at Hyperion and Lanci, "On the first day of school, go directly to the main building of the Sage Academy and you will be guided. In addition, the school dormitories can be moved in three days before the start of school, and students can pick up their wristbands at the Magic Engineering Academy at about the same time."
She pointed at the two people's admission bracelets, meaning that they could then go to the Magic Engineering College and exchange them for official admission certificates.
"Thanks."
"Thank you, Teacher Theresa."
After receiving thanks from Hyperion and Lanci, Theresa waved goodbye to the two gently.
Then quickly, like a waiter in a restaurant at lunch time, she turned and ran to where Vivian and the other group of people were taking the exam.
"Sorry to have kept you waiting for so long. Now you can prepare for the exam..."
Vivian listened to teacher Theresa's words absentmindedly, but her eyes followed Hyperion's back.
Although Hyperion happened to meet a guy who helped her this time.
But this is only temporary luck and will soon burst like a bubble.
The reason why Lanqi is not wary of Hyperion now.
It was simply because this young man from the border didn’t know Hyperion’s secret—
Hyperion is half demonic, the illegitimate daughter of Duke Alansar and a demon.
Vivian was very sure that if Lanci learned of Hyperion's identity as a demon one day in the future, his friendly attitude would definitely change drastically, and he might even join the ranks of those who persecuted Hyperion.
Because, in this Kingdom of Hutton, which was devastated by the war with the demons many years ago, there is no one who does not hate and fear the demons! ...
Ikriti Academy, Learning and Education Building.
The large staircase several meters wide goes from top to bottom, layer by layer. Its design is unique and advanced. The beige stone and crystal fence shine together, like a ray of light passing through the floors.
Each level of the stairs has a different function. Some large wooden steps can be directly used as a rest area for students, while others display the latest college works. The lowest level of stairs can also be connected to the spacious terrace of the building.
Two young figures walked up the stairs of the building, their steps calm and composed, in a stress-free art space.
After finishing today's difficult exam, Lanqi's smiling face did not hide his happy mood.
Although Hyperion remained expressionless as always and did not reveal her inner thoughts, the hostility in her eyes had dissipated unconsciously at this moment.
"Speaking of Hyperion."
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
As Lanqi walked, he talked with his new comrade Hyperion.
"You are familiar with the capital and have a wide range of experience. How do you think we can make money quickly in the capital? Of course, it has to be something that is not written in the criminal law."
After he asked the question, he added another sentence.
Although the criminal law itself is a book on making money, we must never do that.
The two figures walked past the decorations beside the steps from time to time, including the newly cultivated plants and new academic achievements of the Alchemy Institute, as well as the new research and developments and strange works of art of the Magic Engineering Institute.
“…”
Hyperion was silent for a while, somewhat hesitantly.
She wanted to say goodbye to Lanqi.
She was very grateful for Lanqi's help and friendly attitude, but she also knew clearly that it was impossible for her to become friends with Lanqi.
The secret that "she is a half-demon" could not be hidden from Lanqi for long.
Although she didn't deliberately hide anything from Lanqi or deceive him.
But even if Lanqi doesn't take the initiative to investigate and is still so friendly to her, one day those who want to target her will feel that Lanqi is an obstacle and will reveal her secrets to Lanqi, thus throwing her directly into the abyss at the most fatal moment.
The thing she was most unwilling to accept was that her former friends suddenly became strange and indifferent, or even became irreconcilable enemies...
But just consider it as a reward for the short and meaningless friendship between Lanqi and her.
"If my father hadn't disappeared, with your ability, our Duke of Alansar would be happy to invest in a talent like you. Unfortunately, I don't have the right to use the family's funds now."
Hyperion replied helplessly that at least at this moment, she would treat him as sincerely as Lanqi treated her.
"If you don't have any manufacturing functions, the fastest way to make money is to challenge the shadow world."
They continued to move forward, walking down the stairs at a leisurely pace. The huge glass curtain wall between the floors reflected a patch of sunlight, making the entire space brighter, but then it was blocked by the marble wall and dimmed again.
"Um……"
Lanqi nodded after thinking about it.
Although he has already learned how to make magic cards, he can only make low-level cards now.
Moreover, his skills were still relatively rusty, and his card-making success rate was very low. He often made the cards explode, causing Talia to shake her head.
He didn't even have the confidence to take the Southern Continent Card Creators Association's registered card maker exam.
From this perspective, his combat profession [White Mage] is actually more advanced than the manufacturing profession [Card Creator].
