Chapter 53 Back to School

The two of them walked out of the alchemy academy's flower-sea-like garden and soon saw the mechanical engineering academy's building.

Only a few students were walking out of the main building with books in hand, seemingly having just sought answers from their professors at the end of the semester.

Lan Qi and Hyperion walked shoulder to shoulder into the main building of the mechanical engineering academy.

"Let's go back to Cat Boss Restaurant for lunch later."

He turned his head to Hyperion and said.

They had agreed to challenge the Shadow World in the next few days, but having just returned to the royal capital by carriage today, they naturally needed to rest for a day to adjust their condition.

"...Thank you for taking me home."

Hyperion said gratefully.

Since halfway through the last semester, even for the few blocks between the Yikelite Academy and the Cat Boss Restaurant, he wouldn't let her be alone.

If Tata wasn't there to pick Hyperion up after school, he would take Hyperion to the Cat Boss Restaurant.

"By the way, will it be okay for you to see Tata later?"

Hyperion and Lan Qi stepped onto the stairs together, thought for a while, and then asked.

"It's fine, it might be a little awkward for me to be alone with her these two days, but it's fine if the three of us are together at Cat Boss Restaurant."

Lan Qi waved his hand.

Actually, optimistically speaking, the incredibly awkward thing that happened between him and Tata today could completely cover up the extremely awkward thing that happened between the three of them in the Southern Wantina Territory.

The twisted-three-strand thing could finally be turned over.

Often, as long as you find the benefits of a sudden accident, it will seem acceptable, even well-considered, and no longer so much like a mistake, and the embarrassment can naturally be resolved.

This was Lan's Defense.

"Uh, okay."

Hyperion replied.

She felt that Lan Qi really had a good attitude.

He had just experienced a painful social death early in the morning, and now after taking a walk with him in the academy, he had figured it out.

That sentence, "Tata, you are so cute today... so cute that I want to replace breakfast and eat you," coupled with Lan Qi's voice, still made Hyperion feel uneasy when she thought about it now.

She believed that recently, when Antanas and the others saw Lan Qi and Tata together, they would inevitably recall this sentence in their hearts, and then try their best to restrain their expressions so that Lan Qi and Tata wouldn't notice.

Fortunately, Tata couldn't read minds, otherwise, if she heard everyone around her secretly repeating this sentence in their hearts, she would probably go crazy.

...

The fifth floor of the mechanical engineering academy's main building.

The Dean's office.

Professor Bulao was sitting at his desk, surrounded by mechanical engineering component drawings and measuring tools.

He had arrived at the Dean's office not long ago this morning, and was already holding a mechanical pencil, precisely drawing on a translucent blue drawing, occasionally stopping to use his magical engineering glasses to inspect the uniquely shaped parts placed on the table.

His slightly upturned pale hair occasionally trembled, and his eyes were completely immersed in the work on the table.

Just then.

There was a cautious and slight knock on the door, as if trying not to disturb Professor Bulao's work as much as possible.

"Come in."

Bulao didn't raise his head, and his low voice seemed still focused, obviously used to being asked for help by various possible people during work breaks.

The door slowly opened, a beam of light poured in from the crack in the door, and soon two young men and women walked in. They gently turned their heads to close the door, and then greeted Bulao:

"Good morning, Professor Bulao, we're back, how is your health?"

Lan Qi's unreserved voice echoed in this spacious room surrounded by innovative drawings and magical equipment, as if he had missed Professor Bulao for a long time.

The first time he came here was because of the Platinum Card Maker assessment and the incident of damaging the artificial Shadow World startup terminal during enrollment, and he was brought here by Dean Loren.

As a result, Dean Loren was scolded, Lan Qi thought about it and proposed that the Wilford family would pay compensation, and he simply shook hands and made peace with Professor Bulao. Later, the relationship became more and more familiar.

Later, because the first floor of the old liberal arts building of the mechanical engineering academy was the public magical engineering technology service center, the second floor was the new magical engineering technology creative workshop belonging to Professor Bulao, the academic leader of the mechanical engineering academy, and the third floor was the student management committee, Lan Qi and Hyperion could occasionally meet Professor Bulao when they went downstairs, and they would greet him when they met.

"Hmm? Lan Qi, Hyperion?"

Old man Bulao raised his head, took off the silver-rimmed glasses he was wearing on the bridge of his nose and placed them on the table, and looked at the two people he hadn't seen for a long time.

"It's been a long time since I've seen you. I was thinking that if you hadn't appeared after a while, I would have to ask Loren."

He put down the work in his hand and showed a rare smile.

"Is there something you need to find me for?"

Lan Qi probably had some guesses in his heart when he heard this.

Professor Bulao nodded, took out two candies from the drawer, pushed them to the far end of the desk, and motioned for Lan Qi and Hyperion to sit opposite his desk, without being restrained.

"Your Platinum Card Maker assessment is almost complete. Next semester, you may have to go to the Boson Kingdom to complete a final assessment and certification, and then help them complete the work of chief examiner for an exam."

Bulao looked at Lan Qi and said.

"So smoothly? I thought there would be a lot of trouble."

Lan Qi nodded in surprise and sat down. It had been a long time since he had received such good news.

Lan Qi had almost forgotten that he was still a quasi-Platinum Card Maker.

Staying in the Northern Continent for too long had made him a little forgetful of the association system on the Southern Continent.

"Although the Southern Continent Card Maker Association also has related interests, fortunately your reputation in the Southern Continent is not very big, and the big shots who want face won't embarrass a newcomer like you with a clean record."

Professor Bulao remembered that Mi Gaia's Platinum certification was quite difficult back then. In comparison, Lan Qi was a good kid who knew how to keep a low profile.

There were also reasons for the current situation. The Southern Continent Card Maker Association also hoped that Lan Qi could quickly become a formal Platinum Card Maker and then take over Mi Gaia's work.

Hutton Kingdom was located on the far east side of the central part of the Southern Continent. The Yaloran Kingdom, which had previously come to their school for academic visits, was in the center, slightly towards the east.

The Boson Kingdom was between the two, also belonging to the eastern region. Although the land area was not large, its humanistic construction and magical engineering technology were extremely developed.

The Platinum Card Maker examination in the eastern region had always been in a state of lacking examiners. Recently, the movements of the Kerei Di Empire were mysterious, and everyone didn't want to be far away from their own country, and it was difficult to borrow from other regions.

What's more, other countries were unlikely to allow their country's Platinum Card Maker to travel far at this time, and the safety hazards were very difficult to assess.

"I see, if I need to be the examiner, then I will naturally fulfill my responsibilities."

Lan Qi looked like a good student.

Hyperion glanced at Lan Qi and said nothing.

Luo Qi McCarthy's success in the Northern Continent really had nothing to do with you, Lan Qi Wilford.

"Hyperion, let's go to the Boson Kingdom together in the second half of the year."

Lan Qi looked at Hyperion next to him and asked.

"Me too?"

Hyperion pointed at herself and said confused.

"Of course, we definitely have to be together."

Lan Qi never thought of running to a foreign country alone.

"The examiner's trip and accommodation with the assistant are all reimbursed by the association, so you don't have to worry about it."

Professor Bulao reminded from behind his desk, looking at the two young people, his eyes with a bit of sigh and impatience,

"In addition, the assistant does not necessarily have to know how to make cards. Sometimes they are just bodyguards or close friends. The examiner likes it."

"Oh, okay."

Hyperion agreed, feeling that the schedule for the second half of this year was very full again.

Seeing that this matter was settled, Professor Bulao satisfiedly took out a registration document from the Card Maker Association and handed it to them. Before Lan Qi and Hyperion could talk about unlocking the Shadow World permissions, Professor Bulao spoke again.

"By the way, why did Dimensional Bishop Toliyado give our school 20,000 pounds?"

Professor Bulao looked at a bill on his desk, feeling complicated.

"Ah?"

Lan Qi and Hyperion looked at each other.

20,000 pounds could build a building in the school.

Although the Destroyer Saint Son was dead.

But it was hard to say who killed him. They all thought that the Dimensional Bishop wouldn't pay.

They still couldn't answer the multiple-choice question about "Who is the real culprit that led to the death of the Destroyer Saint Son".

"Then should we give him a banner in return?"

Lan Qi asked.

Professor Bulao was silenced by Lan Qi.

"Good idea."

Professor Bulao finally nodded in agreement.

Hyperion's eyes twitched slightly. Were you really not afraid of making Destroyer Bishop Ivanovos go bloodthirsty and go to Dean Loren to fight for his life?
