Other people's stuff, does it look good?
Chapter 50
"...... Shi An? Shi An?"
Zhao She's concerned voice came from his ear, "What's wrong, where are you uncomfortable?"
No, at least not now.
Shi An took a slow, deep breath.
He lowered his eyes and shook his head slowly, his soft hair swaying slightly with the movement, his long dark eyelashes hiding his fierce scarlet pupils, his voice low and calm:
"It's okay."
Zhao She gave Shi An a somewhat hesitant look.
The young man half lowered his head, half of his face hidden in the shadows, revealing only a thin white chin and pursed lips.
It looks well-behaved and harmless.
...... illusion?
Zhao She retracted his eyes and looked up toward the lectern again.
The principal of the Avon Academy finished his last sentence just in time, and with a smile on his fat face, he raised his short, ringed hand and waved it haughtily and slowly toward the stage, as a nod to the end of his speech.
The stage erupted in continuous applause.
Shi An lifts his hand and slowly claps along.
In a place invisible to everyone, several small black insects as thin as dust fell from Shi An's sleeves, crawling towards the direction of the principal of the Avon Academy with a speed that could not be captured by the eye, and soon disappeared inside the other party's thick brocade robes.
There were a total of five schools participating in the exchange, although the power department was not highly regarded, but after all, it was also an academic exchange event, and as the host of the Avon Academy, the surface work naturally had to be done well.
After the principal's speech, the principals took the participants, who had arrived from the other four schools, inside their own exclusive lounge area.
The exchange will officially begin in three days.
And before that, students from the other four colleges can walk around the campus as much as they want to familiarize themselves with the environment.
Students from the Ableist Academy lived on the east side of the rest area.
It's not too tall, but it's a very spacious tower, roughly shaped, with thick walls, very characteristic of the Avon area.
Magic condensed into flames that blazed in the fireplace, and the tower burned warm inside, completely devoid of the freezing temperatures outside.
Jo She took off her jacket and stretched.
It was indeed cold, but it was still much more comfortable than the canyon area they had gone to earlier, or at least as bitterly cold as a human could stand.
While this was going on, the earlier cadet who was five-foot-nine and had struck up a conversation with Shi An in the plaza approached.
His name is Wei Bocheng and he is a third year strength cadet.
He greeted Zhao She and sat down by the fireplace as well, "Speaking of which, that schoolmate in the square earlier, is he a friend of yours?"
Jo She: "Yeah."
Wei Bocheng shook his head in some awe, "He's actually in the power department, I really didn't expect it."
Zhao She: "......"
Not to mention you, I didn't expect it.
Wei Bocheng sighed, "But even you said that he is very strong, that is definitely not an ordinary person, it is true that nowadays, people can't look at each other, it is because I was too preconceived in the beginning."
Zhao She: "............"
Very strong indeed.
However, he was actually talking about it being a fire system at the time.
Zhao She opened her mouth as if she wanted to say something, but in the end, her expression was subtle and she fell into silence.
...... This, he didn t know where to start ah.
Wei Bocheng looked to Zhao She and smiled brightly, "Hahaha, speaking of which, when will you help me apologize to your friend, I'm not usually the kind of person who judges people by their appearance, it's just that he does look ......"
He was suddenly stuck, seemingly a little unsure of how to end the sentence without offending anyone.
Shi An's slender and soft appearance appeared in Zhao She's mind.
He sighed and patted Wei Bocheng's shoulder very empathetically, "It's okay bro, I get it."
After all, he didn't expect it at first.
Even though he had seen his opponent use flames to burn the gray crows roaming the sky, when he saw Shi An, subconscious doubts could not help but well up in Zhao She's heart.
Just him?
It can't be, can it?
--So in the training ground of Wang Li's house, he was directly shocked by the opponent's surging magic power and spat out blood, and ended up in the hospital with a gray head, which really pleased his heart.
Even if the other party was now participating in this academic exchange meeting as a power department, after a brief moment of surprise, Zhao She quickly accepted the fact.
For some reason, after such a long time, Zhao She had a strange feeling that no matter how unbelievable it was, as long as if it was Shi An's, it seemed ......
It's not impossible to do?
Wei Bocheng then thought of something, he looked around left and right and asked with some confusion:
"Eh? Speaking of which, where's that friend of yours?"
Zhao She was stunned and also straightened up slightly, looking around the tower.
Shi An, who had been in the group earlier, had disappeared from whence she came.
He scratched his head, "It's possible that he went to rest, right?"
"So early?" Wei Bocheng showed a surprised expression.
Zhao She nodded, "Yeah."
From what he knew of Shi An, the other man was probably in bed by now.
Shi An, who should be under a warm blanket, is now trudging through the snow, one foot in front of the other.
His earmuffs, gloves, and scarf are a full set of pink bunny prints - Chen Meng gave him the full set after returning from the Irving District.
Shi An didn't think that he would actually use it again so soon.
He righted the same-colored earmuffs with a pink glove and sniffled.
Damn, it's cold.
Though Shi An had wrapped himself up tightly and had the Fire Gem from Mu Hang tucked into the pocket of his inside shirt, he still couldn't quite take the chill out of the Avon District.
To actually let yourself be forced to come to this hellish place and go out in this hellish weather was unforgivable!
Shi An's anger at the thieves deepened by several points.
He lifted his eyes, the ruddy dark tide in his dark eyes had not disappeared since a moment ago, revealing an inhuman quality that chilled the very core of his being.
The teenager's voice was crisp and soft, "Hey, is this the right direction?"
Magic Worm:
"Don't worry, my lord, my puppet avatar has already followed me there, it's absolutely right!"
*
The principal of Avon College is Lu Yuanyi.
There were five academies on the continent, and each academy's headmaster had their own specialties in their field of study; the old principal of the Ability Academy, Pei, was good at ancient languages, while the principal of the Avon Academy was good at magical defense.
His residence was in the very center of the entire academy, a very delicate and ornate spire.
The style inside the minaret is ostentatiously luxurious.
Thick carpets covered the floor, fireplaces blazed, the walls were intricately and expensively decorated, and every bit of furniture was carefully crafted to satisfy anyone's desire for the most extravagant and ostentatious pleasures.
Lu Yuanyi sat in a recliner, and he reached out with short, thick fingers and stroked his half-bald head.
Turning to the light, he admired the rings he wore on all five of his fingers, his eyes slowly traversing them one by one, finally landing on the white gemstone ring he wore on his thumb.
The clear gems sparkle brilliantly in the light and are simply mesmerizing.
Looking at his own collection, Lu Yuanyi smiles with pleasure and satisfaction.
The gold-threaded rocking chair swung back and forth, creaking under his heavy body.
"Was it good?" Without warning, an unfamiliar teenage voice rang through the room.
The tone is clear, with a soft ending that rises slightly, sounding cheerful and gentle. But for some reason, it gives one the creeps somehow.
Lu Yuanyi's scalp tingled and he broke out into a cold sweat as he jerked up from his recliner and summoned his magic's defense shield out of habit.
"Who's where? Come out!!!"
Beads of sweat ooze from Lu Yuanyi's half-bald head, reflecting a greasy light in the light.
How?
Though he was not exactly proficient in other areas of attainment, he was not above allowing his enemies to sneak into his room unnoticed.
There was still not a single figure in sight, but his instincts were going on frantic alarm, signaling danger.
But no matter.
Lu Yuanyi took a deep breath to calm himself.
In the field of magic defense, he claimed the second, no one dared to claim the first, this time the opponent was still too naive and careless, actually giving him time to release the magic shield, since this was the case, the opposite side no longer had the possibility of injuring him.
At this point--
The teenager's soft voice sounded behind him, "What, you don't want to tell me?"
Sh, what?
Lu Yuanyi's eyes snapped wide and he subconsciously turned to look behind him.
Before his vision caught the actual shadow, a sharp silver-white flash of light passed in front of his eyes, so dazzlingly bright that it flashed his eyes in that instant.
In the next second, a sound rang out like scraping with sharp nails on a metal surface.
Ka-- ka-la--
The tiny crushing sounds gradually became clearer and denser, symbolizing ominousness, like hypnotic footsteps stepping on Lu Yuanyi's heart.
No, not good!
Lu Yuanyi was horrified, and hurriedly activated his magic power in an attempt to strengthen his defense in front of his body-
It's already too late.
"Ka!"
A crunch resounded through the room.
A hand suddenly tightened, forcibly crushing Lu Yuanyi's magic shield with his bare hands!
The bones were slender, the skin white, the nails neatly trimmed and rounded, with a hint of soft pink.
It was such a beautiful hand, wrapped in a thunderous momentum, that actually went straight through the shattered magic shield and straightly pinched the middle-aged man's thick and obese neck.
Under the illumination of the light, the backs of the white hands shimmered with metallic silver, as if they were covered with a layer of extremely soft and tough scales.
The fingers tightened a little and slowly lifted upward.
Lu Yuanyi's toes gradually left the ground, fluttering hard in mid-air, his eyes bloodshot, his mouth wide open from lack of oxygen, huffing and puffing, using his short, thick fingers to pull at the hand around his throat.
But the hand was as if it were made of bronze, clamped in a death grip around his throat like an iron hoop.
Yes, who is it?
How can there be, in this world, a human being who destroys his own defenses with his bare hands ......?
Lu Yuanyi lowered his head with difficulty, and with eyes that had begun to blacken, he looked toward the man who had lifted him up--
The other party's figure was shrouded in black smoke and could not be seen clearly, except for a pair of crimson vertical pupils that looked fixedly over in the darkness, as if they were flames blazing in the depths of the abyss, flickering with a ghastly light that chilled him to the bone.
The look under those eyes was cold and ferocious, as if a top predator was examining its prey.
"Ignoring other people's problems is not a good habit."
The teenager's gentle, innocent voice rang in his ears, "So, I'll ask one last time."
The fingertips slowly applied force, and the throat bone made an unbearable cackling sound, as if it could be pinched hard the next second.
"Other people's stuff, does it look good?"
