Chapter 17 Another Side

Meanwhile, as the gentle setting sun covered the Iketerite Academy, the clock tower's hands pointed between two and three, and the golden light shone warmly and softly on every brick and tile of the campus.

The native plants of the Hutton Kingdom swayed gently in the breeze, the trees and grass awoke from the morning dew, and the air was filled with the fresh scent of trees and soil merging into one.

Crossing the edge of the Magic Engineering Institute, past the old liberal arts building surrounded by green grass, a few more steps would reveal the artistic iron tower-style glass curtain wall building.

The setting sun leaped on its surface, refracting dazzling light, making the main building of the Magic Engineering Institute appear even more solemn and bright.

On the fifth floor of this main building.

Inside the Dean's office.

Professor Bolaao was sitting at his worktable, chatting with Lan Qi, who had just returned from the Shadow World.

"Crimson Epic..."

Professor Bolaao looked at the gem in his hand through special glasses, as if he hadn't seen such a thing in many years.

"I can help you calculate the best ratio of auxiliary materials, but the ones you can buy here in Hutton are limited. I suggest you take advantage of your trip to the Bosen Kingdom in the middle of the month to supervise the Platinum Card Creator exam and buy all the materials you might need."

He handed the gem back to Lan Qi, took off his magical engineering glasses, and said.

"I see, thank you, Professor Bolaao."

Lan Qi put away Cariera's Shadow Weave Gem and thanked him.

After sending Hyperion, Cat Boss, and Shasong back to Cat Boss Restaurant, Lan Qi returned to Iketerite Academy.

They returned to reality as soon as it was evening in the Shadow World, and now they all needed to catch up on sleep.

Lan Qi told Hyperion to quickly return to her home on the second floor of the restaurant, without dragging her to Professor Bolaao at the Magic Engineering Institute.

As a quasi-Platinum Card Creator, Lan Qi only needed to complete the final certification step in the Bosen Kingdom.

Then he would take over Duke Mi Gaiya's work for the Southern Continent Card Creator Association and act as the chief examiner for a Platinum-level exam.

Lan Qi had already received the relevant notice from Professor Bolaao before going to the Dark Eclipse Magic Realm in the Shadow World.

Geographically speaking, the Hutton Kingdom is located in the easternmost part of central South Continent, the Yarolan Kingdom, which visited their school for academic exchanges last year, is in the center, slightly to the east, and the Bosen Kingdom is located between the two, so it is not too far away.

Also belonging to the eastern region, although the Bosen Kingdom has a small land area, its cultural construction and magical engineering technology are extremely developed. It is also the key to the flow and trade of Card Creator Association resources in the entire eastern region of the Southern Continent.

If you want to buy as many high-quality materials as possible, the Bosen Kingdom is the first choice in the eastern region.

"Be careful during your trip abroad."

Professor Bolaao instructed.

During this period, he became more and more familiar with Lan Qi, and Bolaao also became very concerned about Lan Qi, the student he was about to take on.

"Yes, I heard."

Lan Qi understood what Professor Bolaao meant.

The reason why the Platinum Card Creator exam in the eastern region needed him so much was mainly because it had been in a state of lacking examiners. It was very difficult to borrow from other regions.

What's more, there are faint rumors that the Krait Empire may be preparing for a storm-like war. The countries in other regions are unwilling to let their Platinum Card Creators travel too far at this time, and the safety risks are difficult to assess.

"However, in early August, you should rest well in Iketerite."

Professor Bolaao opened the floor-to-ceiling cabinet next to him, took out a thick file bag, opened it, and pulled out the first page of the information form, showing it to Lan Qi, who was sitting across from the desk.

"Lan Fu Wilfort, nominally your family relative, seventeen years old, freshman, from the Southern Wantina border territory. I have already helped her with the special student registration. Next, her travel in Iketerite Academy will be much more convenient."

On the student information form that Bolaao showed, the photo was of the black-haired, green-eyed Great Poet, which was also the photo that Lan Qi gave to Professor Bolaao.

The professor recruiting magic cards as students was too absurd.

So they simply followed the regular procedures and gave the Great Poet a brand-new identity.

"You can pick up uniforms and other items at the Old Liberal Arts Building, just like when you first came to Iketerite Academy."

Professor Bolaao added after letting Lan Qi check that the information was correct,

"But the Academic Supervision Committee's screening has been strict recently, so try not to let her skip class. She has to come to the laboratory to clock in and out every day. You must supervise her."

After changing from a taught bachelor to a research bachelor, the tutor almost became the boss. Every day, he not only learned from the tutor, but also helped the tutor with work.

"Okay, don't worry, Professor Bolaao, I promise to bring her to school every day and urge her to abide by the school rules and be a good student."

Lan Qi guaranteed.

The reason why Professor Bolaao hesitated before was because of the academic review pressure facing Iketerite Academy.

Iketerite Academy is not only affiliated to the Hutton Kingdom, but also the official certification and highest-level direct institution of the Southern Continent Shadow World Management Association and the Southern Continent Kingdom United Council. Along with many powers and conveniences, it also needs to meet the corresponding indicators to ensure that it can give effect to the association's support.

"But Professor Bolaao, you also know that I am going to the Bosen Kingdom in mid-August to help the Southern Continent Card Creator Association supervise the exam."

Lan Qi said hesitantly.

"This is considered a personal leave. I have already declared it for you in advance."

Professor Bolaao closed his eyes and nodded.

"Then I may have to go to other countries to do new academic research topics, for as short as two or three months and as long as half a year."

Lan Qi said again.

Rest in Iketerite in early August, go to the Bosen Kingdom in mid-August to supervise the exam and buy materials, and return to Iketerite in late August to try to make Cariera's magic card. Then everything will be ready, and he can go to the Krait Empire to find Duke Mi Gaiya.

Compared with the Northern Continent, the good thing about the Krait Empire is that it borders the Hutton Kingdom.

Starting from Lan Qi's hometown, the Southern Wantina Territory, whether it is crossing mountains or crossing the sea, he can reach the giant Krait Empire at the southernmost tip of the Southern Continent.

"As long as you can produce academic results, I will approve your vacation first."

Professor Bolaao casually found a report printed with the official documents and school emblem of Iketerite Academy, and handed it to Lan Qi along with a pen on the table.

Anyway, Bolaao believed in Lan Qi's academic level, so he let Lan Qi go and make a breakthrough first.

He never restricts his students.

"Thank you, Professor!"

Lan Qi took the paper and pen and started filling it out at Professor Bolaao's desk.

"Alas, there are so many things happening recently... During the days you and Hyperion went to the Shadow World, the academic visit team schedule from the Yarolan Royal Academy this year has also been confirmed. This time, Chief Knight Juliana is coming in person."

Bolaao looked at Lan Qi, who was concentrating on filling out the form, and chatted with him,

"Fortunately, our school has a student named Phyllis who transferred from Yarolan Royal Academy last year. She can help Monast well in receiving the students from Yarolan Royal Academy."

Athena, the vice president of the Iketerite Academy Student Union, has graduated, and Monast, the president, has stayed at school to continue his studies. Originally, Monast wanted to resign as president, but at the critical node, none of the three members were there. Seeing that no one took over, he took over for another year.

"Oh?"

Lan Qi looked up at Bolaao as if he had suddenly heard something he cared about.

Not only for the work of the student union, but also for his responsibilities and obligations, he has done his best to help Loren tie the knot.

Now this date is finally about to happen.

"How is Dean Loren?"

Lan Qi temporarily put down his pen and asked with concern.

"He is very nervous. It may be because he has been under too much pressure recently, overwhelmed with official duties, and overworked. Now that Juliana has suddenly arrived, he is even more at a loss. And it is estimated that the date will be in the next two or three days."

Bolaao shook his head,

"He even came to ask me early this morning if I could help him with dating ideas."

Bolaao said honestly, looking at Loren like that, he couldn't bear not to help him.

"Although I have had several failed marriages, that was decades ago when I was young. Then I told him that I could help him, but I couldn't guarantee that his date would go smoothly."

Professor Bolaao continued.

But he stopped halfway through his words.

Because he saw Lan Qi's emerald eyes, which seemed to be sparkling with stars, extremely radiant and dazzling.

"Uh..."

Bolaao always felt that it seemed that another problem had been solved.
