She is too weak now.
Not only weak.
It is still unclear who is the enemy, friend, or traitor in this royal capital.
Going to the Crane Empire alone to investigate would only lead to death.
She had to get stronger quickly. Maybe her father could still be saved. She just had to find him as soon as possible...
But Hyperion would never tell Lanqi about these things.
She couldn't let Lanqi get any more involved.
"Would you consider attacking the Shadow World? Let's team up and give the Shadow World a little shock."
Seeing that Hyperion had fallen silent for a long time, Lanqi finally asked tentatively.
Among the people he knows now, Hyperion is undoubtedly the most cooperative teammate.
Not only do they have experience working together, but Hyperion was also very reliable during previous battles.
This was also the reason why they were able to work together to clear the super-doubled version of [Infinite Phantom Canyon] that day.
Hyperion's fingers froze on the page of the book, her eyes staring at Lanci dully, her mouth slightly open, as if she wanted to say something, or as if she wanted to breathe fresh air.
"...Do you want to fight with me?"
Finally, she sorted out some of her thoughts and asked in a daze, but she was still trying to understand Lanqi's sudden news, this unrealistic invitation.
"of course."
Lanci's tone was certain.
Hyperion lowered her head, staring at the paper on the table, biting her lip, and seemed very conflicted.
The reason why Lanqi was so friendly to her was because he didn't know that she was half demon.
She didn't know how to confess to Lanqi.
Even though the friendship at this moment might be just a bubble accompanied by an illusion that could suddenly shatter and disappear at any time, she still didn't know how to burst it with her own hands.
"You can always regret it."
Hyperion lowered her eyes and spoke in a low voice.
It is equivalent to accepting Lanqi's invitation to form a team.
However, she also accepted that Lanqi could unilaterally regret at any time.
"I knew you would agree! How about we go challenge the Shadow World today while the Magic Engineering Institute is still open? I really can't stand this class any more. Which bastard added "Spellcasting Without Chanting" to the compulsory course this year? I can't learn it at all!"
Lanqi couldn't help but feel a tingling in his brain when he thought about his class this morning, and he complained.
He didn't expect that the courses in the Sage Academy would be so difficult, or maybe his talent for practical magic skills was just too poor.
Especially the course "Chanting Without Spells" was really tormenting Lanqi. He had clearly seen that this compulsory course was not included in the previous syllabus, but it happened to be added in this year's curriculum reform!
"today?"
Hyperion muttered in a daze.
She obviously didn't expect Lanqi to be so wild.
This was much more surreal than a spontaneous journey, and her heart suddenly began to pound in her chest!
For a moment, she didn't know what expression to use or what voice to respond.
"Yes, right now."
Lanqi stretched his body vigorously, as if he was stretching his muscles.
"Want to come with me?"
When he leaned back in his chair and looked at Hyperion again, a smile of absolute confidence appeared on his face.
Chapter 43 Lanqi's Immediate Departure
The sounds of chatting, turning pages, and the slight bumping of tables and chairs mixed together to form a subtle harmony.
Although a bit noisy, this sound makes people feel comfortable because it reflects the real atmosphere of life.
In the back row of this classroom.
Hyperion said nothing.
Conflicting emotions began to intertwine in Hyperion's heart.
Her eyes wandered between the classroom desk and the exit, her fingers gently pinched the pages of the book, and the balance in her heart was also swaying.
"Lanqi, generally speaking, before challenging the Shadow World, various preparations need to be made in advance."
Finally, Hyperion tried to calm herself down, and said in a trickling voice,
"Of course, we also need to consider whether our teammates are suitable for the job."
And practice more, make sure your teammates are trustworthy, etc...
Anyway, it’s too abrupt and impulsive to set off immediately…
"Let's go in a few days. Please think about it carefully."
Hyperion's voice became increasingly depressed.
Maybe by tomorrow, Lanqi will know her identity as a demon from Modan or others.
From now on, I can see the real her.
then.
You can then go back on your word and make a better decision.
This might be a better outcome for Lanci.
Lanqi looked at Hyperion's hesitation and even gradual retreat, as if he understood her heart.
Her answer was actually...
She needs a teammate who is more determined than her to help her make decisions.
"Huprienne, sometimes it seems like you are just taking the long view, but in fact you will just procrastinate indefinitely until you simply give up."
Lanqi grinned. With a plan to skip classes legally, he no longer looked tired, and even his words were full of energy.
"If we don't set sail now, we'll never be able to set sail! So trust me, let's go."
Lanci said in a clear voice, standing up and looking at Hyperion.
It seems that he can't wait to take her on a magical journey.
this moment.
As the sky was about to turn into sunset, it gradually turned a light pink, as if it was the color of dawn.
The floor-to-ceiling glass windows of the classroom were as calm as the sea, reflecting their figures.
Lanqi's words were like a small boat, cutting through the waves in her stormy heart and echoing continuously.
Hyperion stared into Lanci's clear and serious emerald green eyes, and her eyes could no longer conceal the genuine excitement.
It seems that he has finally made up his mind.
"let's go."
Following the clear and firm words, Hyperion also stood up and walked quickly towards the exit of the classroom with Lanqi.
……
Because of the departure of the two, the classroom, which was originally just a little noisy, seemed to have a stone thrown into it, causing ripples to appear in circles, and suddenly became silent.
Everyone's eyes were fixed on the two students who resolutely ran away when the class was about to start, until they completely disappeared from their sight.
The atmosphere of surprise and curiosity, accompanied by noisy sounds, at this moment, surged again like a tide!
The whole classroom was filled with topics as if it had exploded!
"What are they doing?"
"Skipping school for a date?"
Some students were gossiping intently, while others gathered together and discussed enthusiastically with excitement on their faces.
Even some students who were originally reading quietly put down their books and joined the heated discussion.
"I just heard that they both wanted to go to the shadow world..."
Until one student recalled it in a daze with some disbelief.
Make the surrounding area much quieter.
Attracted a lot of attention.
"No way? Going to the Shadow World on the first day of school? You must have heard it wrong. They must be making up an excuse to go on a date."
"It's absolutely true. They just agreed to go to the shadow world."
"Just the two of them?"
"Just the two of them."
"what???"
In an instant, the atmosphere in the classroom became tense.
All eyes were focused on a few students who confirmed the content of the conversation between Lanci and Hyperion.
Immediately afterwards, chaotic and noisy sounds filled the entire classroom.
In Ikerit College, there is almost no precedent for two freshmen to form a team and run to the real shadow world on the first day of school!
You know, most of the first-year students don’t even have a license now.
Even super rookies who have obtained an Iron Challenger license upon admission often make their debut with seniors.
Because this is not a race or some kind of achievement, but a life-and-death challenge where you will bet your life and soul!
