Chapter 524: Lanqi and Hyperion return to school
At Ikrit Academy, the forest path bathed in sunlight in the morning was exceptionally peaceful.
In the distance, birds were jumping among the treetops in the Alchemy Institute's Botanical Garden, chirping melodiously from time to time.
“…”
After hastily escaping from the Cat Boss Restaurant, Lanqi and Hyperion walked on the road leading to the main building of the Magic Institute, and both of them tacitly did not speak.
Now it is near the end of the semester and the assessment week is approaching. There are almost no new courses, and students attending and leaving classes are becoming less common on campus. The two returned to the campus they had been away from for a long time and felt as if half a year ago was just yesterday.
finally.
They spotted a familiar landmark ahead.
On the way from the Sage's Academy to the Magic Engineering Academy, you will pass by a cold-pressed juice shop that sells more than thirty kinds of pure juice, mixed juice, and vegetable and fruit juice. Before leaving Ikerit, I often saw many students holding a glass of this drink after class.
The store that opened last year has now become an old store.
The two looked at each other, stopped here for a moment, and bought two cups without queuing.
Hyperion remembered that when the two of them finished listening to Teacher Theresa's "General Knowledge of Magical Genealogy" class in the Learning and Education Building, they were walking on this road while chatting while holding cold-pressed juice. Only then did they decide to go to the Northern Continent to find Asksan and start this graduation project.
I didn’t expect that it has actually been completed today.
I can only sigh that time flies by so fast.
Returning to the stable Ikerite from the turbulent northern continent, the pace of life seems to have slowed down, with new fun and food everywhere.
It would be an extremely happy thing if one could enjoy life in Ikerite leisurely without worries and pressure.
At this moment, I also felt that I could understand Ranchi’s desire to retire early, and the daily life that Tata has been leading.
Hyperion bit the straw flat as if to kill time, took sips of juice, and kept an eye on Lanqi from time to time. She always felt that Lanqi became extremely embarrassed since leaving Cat Boss's restaurant.
He obviously understood how abstract the situation he and Tata had just had was.
As a bystander, Hyperion couldn't say anything first. If Lanqi didn't speak, she would just pretend nothing had happened and stay with him.
"We will challenge the Shadow World once more and then we will be ready to set off for the Kreihe Empire."
Lanci and Hyperion briefly crossed the treeless intersection of the forest path, looking at the square building clearly visible in the distance, and muttered to themselves.
In the heart of Ikrit College, stands the huge building proudly, surrounded by the four major departments.
Although the various novel or classical buildings in the college each have their own unique charm, they all seem slightly inferior in comparison to the building in the center that blocks the void gate to the shadow world.
Soon, they will dream back to the history of tens of thousands of years ago.
"yes."
Hyperion also sighed.
They once thought it was out of reach, but unexpectedly, after just one year, they already had a little hope of going to the Cretan Empire to find the whereabouts of Duke Migaia.
You have to know that when they first met a year ago, she was just a third-level assassin, and Lanqi was just a second-level white magician.
Now...she is still relatively normal, that is, she is advancing faster, while Lanqi has mutated into the spiritual leader of the Protoss Empire.
"call……"
After Lanqi finished drinking the juice, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"Huprienne, thank you for bringing me out."
Lanqi sighed with an expression of surviving a disaster.
The cool sweetness was like a summer breeze, bringing him back to life.
I felt my heart beating, and the magma-like heat in my chest spread throughout my body along with my pulse.
It's never been so exciting.
Although I paid some unforgettable prices, I did experience the ultimate excitement.
"Small things."
Hyperion shook her head.
She believed that Lanqi had learned enough lessons this time.
Now that it has come to this, he probably won’t dare to do it again next time.
There was silence between the two for a moment.
"By the way, what do you think of Tata?"
Hyperion asked tentatively.
She recalled the conversation between Ranchi and Tata and always felt something strange.
Even though they knew that they were mentally ill because of their great love for the poet.
But she was inexplicably worried that if no one interrupted them, the two of them would be willing to turn their fake play into reality and go with the flow.
"...My most beloved master."
Lanqi paused slightly and replied with a smile.
"Really?"
Hyperion's voice was filled with disbelief.
"Uh, what about the friend of different generations?"
Lanqi thought about it and described it a little more accurately.
“…”
Hyperion didn't know what to say.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
I underestimated you.
The quiet forest path is like a dazzling emerald, drawing an infinite number of non-repeating patterns on the bluestone road surface.
The two of them would walk on this road for a long time at a leisurely pace.
"Lanqi, please don't mess with Tata anymore, okay? Listen to me."
Hyperion struggled for a long time, then gradually clenched her palms.
Whether Lanqi listens or not is one thing, and whether she persuades him or not is another. Sometimes she should be more assertive so that he will listen to her.
“…Tata and I have always gotten along like this.”
Lanci whispered.
“…”
Hyperion didn't know whether he was confused about whether he had offended Tata or was unable to resist Tata's temptation.
Seeing Lanqi's aggrieved look, she softened her heart again.
Not allowing him to interact with Tata seemed to be more painful than killing him.
Although the result after the interaction might be more painful than killing him.
But he just loves to play.
Hyperion discovered that playing with Tata was addictive for Ranch.
"If you continue like this, I won't be able to save you..."
Hyperion said as her voice became increasingly weaker.
"No, no, no, you have to save me, my angel Hyperion."
Lanqi immediately looked at Hyperion.
Hyperion is his greatest support.
“…”
Seeing Lanqi like this, Hyperion bit her lip lightly.
"Huprienne."
Lanqi called her name again, his tone retreating a little.
"I will save you, don't worry, I will protect you."
After a moment of hesitation, Hyperion finally shook her head and agreed.
Although she felt a little regretful after saying this, and always had a bad feeling, she could do nothing about it.
But after thinking about it, it shouldn't be a big problem. This time, Lanqi failed because of Lanfu's revenge. Next time, it will be hard to find the point where he will fail, unless Tata does not play by the rules, or Hyperion has a problem with her thinking, or Lanqi accidentally drank alcohol, or the woman from the northern continent inexplicably crossed the sea and so on.
These are all low-probability events and can be ignored. Otherwise, it would be a bit too much to be too picky.
Hyperion nodded confidently.
