The following day was the graduation ceremony of Celt Magic Academy.
Last night's absurdity seemed to have left few traces on Ye Jiu, but Luo Rui'an was covered in bruises.
Ye Jiu put on her magician's robe and tidied her appearance.
Lorien, still half asleep, rubbed his dry eyes and found it unbelievable to see Ye Jiu by the bedside, even feeling like he was still dreaming.
Ye Jiu noticed that Luo Rui'an had opened his eyes and casually remarked, "You're awake."
Lorian's voice was still a little hoarse from just waking up, "Hmm, you woke up quite early?"
"No, I just woke up a little earlier than you. It's just that today is the graduation ceremony, and we have to meet at ten o'clock. I'm a little anxious now."
Upon hearing this, Luo Rui'an immediately jumped out of bed. He didn't want to miss Ye Jiu's graduation ceremony either, and he wouldn't allow himself to be absent from any of Ye Jiu's major life events.
Lorien casually tidied her messy hair, then planned to use Ye Jiu's cosmetics to cover the marks on her neck.
Ye Jiu smiled knowingly at his actions, "Actually, there's no need to hide it. Everyone already knows you're mine."
Lorien paused, and actually put down the powder puff to start getting dressed.
Ye Jiu leaned against the wall, watching Luo Rui'an tidy himself up with a leisurely air.
The magician's robe was large enough that as long as he wore a hat or a scarf, the marks on his neck would no longer be visible.
Ye Jiu crossed his arms and waited for Luo Rui'an's next move, but unexpectedly, he hesitated for a moment while putting on his hat and scarf, and did nothing.
He generously exposed his neck, grinned at Ye Jiu, and said, "I'm all better now, let's go."
This surprised Ye Jiu; she thought he would cover up the marks no matter what.
"Are you really going to go out like this?" Ye Jiu tilted her head; she didn't actually mean to force him to stop covering up.
The scene of Lorian blushing that I had imagined did not occur. He grinned mischievously, "I wish the whole world knew that you had taken me."
Hmm? It's like my meridians have suddenly been opened up. Could it be that before it was simply because my succubus bloodline hadn't awakened?
Unable to come up with an answer, Ye Jiu decided to stop worrying about it. "Let's go then, we're going to be late. Hopefully we won't be the last two to go."
...
Ye Jiu led Luo Rui'an to the end of their class and sat down. As soon as they sat down, they found Vivian in front of them and Joan to their left.
Both of them had gossipy expressions on their faces, winking at her as if to say, "You two were pretty passionate last night, weren't you?"
Ye Jiu feigned innocence, "Um, what's wrong? Isn't this normal?"
Vivian smiled knowingly, gave her a thumbs up, and whispered, "What did you guys play last night? Share it with me!"
Despite having mentally prepared herself, Lorrian, who has good hearing, still blushed upon hearing this.
At the same time, he mustered his spirits and prepared to listen to Ye Jiu's answer himself.
Ye Jiu shrugged, "Anyway, you and Ed played conservatively."
Vivian didn't get the answer she wanted and grumbled in dissatisfaction, "What? I've shared with you all the most comfortable revolutionary sisters, and you didn't even tell me that."
Just then, Eldrek stepped onto the stage to give a speech, and Ye Jiu gave Vivian a look, signaling her to sit down quickly.
Vivian sat up straight, holding her breath and staring angrily ahead. The more she thought about it, the angrier she became. She couldn't help but secretly give Ye Jiu a "friendly international gesture" behind her back.
Ye Jiu bent her index finger out, successfully turning her "international friendship gesture" into a peace sign.
The two were playing around when they suddenly heard Eldrek raise his voice.
"Students, the moment concerning the life and death of humanity is approaching."
Ye Jiu suddenly looked up and listened carefully to what he was about to say.
The secret he had kept for so long was revealed to him without any warning.
"The demons' revenge cannot be stopped; they will inevitably target humanity first, despite our magic and our diverse potions."
Eldrek recounted in detail all the devil's little tricks over the past few years.
The students below the stage were completely silent, whether in disbelief or inability to accept the fact.
"Although it is a heavy thing to say, I still want to say that the wands in our hands exist to protect all of humanity."
If you want to wear the crown, you must bear its weight.
Ye Jiu's mood also became heavy. Although he had been prepared, was it because the news was suddenly revealed that the situation was serious and the resurgence of Morsos was inevitable?
Have they found a new sprite?
Ye Jiu glanced back at Luo Ruian, who gave him a relieved smile and whispered, "It's okay, we'll win."
"Hmm." Ye Jiu turned back to continue listening to Eldrek's words.
His words turned what should have been a lively graduation ceremony into a lifeless one, with complete silence falling over the room.
"I'm sorry, kids, I ruined your graduation ceremony."
Ye Jiu, who already knew everything, remained unmoved. This day was bound to come sooner or later, so now it was just a matter of waiting to see when Morthos would appear.
Ascaria, as the main city of humanity, has a fairly complete magical defense system. In recent years, the Celt Magic Academy has also been continuously training magicians. Although not everyone is in Ascaria now, quite a few have stayed.
Ye Jiu didn't think she would lose this battle. Well, she rarely made worst-case scenario plans; she just believed she could win.
If she and Lorian can kidnap Asmodius, then taking down Morthos's other three demon minions shouldn't be a big problem, right?
Eldrek said a lot more, adding that "it's normal to want to escape, and he wouldn't blame them."
"Since it's a battlefield, people will inevitably die. Being afraid of death isn't such a bad thing."
"I just hope that those who are willing to stay can work together to get through this difficult time."
It was long after Eldreik finished speaking that the students below the stage began to whisper among themselves.
Vivian turned to discuss with Ye Jiu. Her first thought was disbelief: the peace treaty had been signed for a hundred years without any problems, so why were they having problems now?
Joan knew a little more than Vivian; she had also sensed something amiss when they were at the Bouvis Magic Academy.
Hearing Vivian's question, she did not refute it, but only said, "It's okay, we'll definitely be fine."
Ye Jiu didn't comment. She took out her wand and looked at it from left to right. "If they really attack, I'll try the combination technique I learned in Buvis. Wind and fire magic will burn a large number of people to death."
Perhaps because Ye Jiu's tone was too casual, Vivian and Joan relaxed their tense nerves. Joan imagined the scene and laughed out loud, "Then we would definitely get a bunch of roasted demons."
Vivian followed Joan's lead and imagined the scene; it was hilarious no matter how you looked at it. "Pfft."
She sniffed, "I was really scared at first, but after what you said, I don't think it's a big deal anymore."
She added, "I've figured it out. It's okay. It's amazing to die protecting Ascaria. I'll definitely be remembered by my great-grandchildren."
"That's fine too." The three of them smiled at each other.
