Time seemed to stand still at this moment, until a slight tremor spread throughout the arena and the barrier finally began to collapse.
It did not collapse with a loud bang, but rather disappeared gradually into the air like mist gently dispersed by the wind.
However, by the time Loren was able to end the match, it was too late.
This was destined to be a major accident that would be remembered throughout the history of Ikerit.
At the same time, all large-scale external activities of Ikerita College will be permanently banned by the Ikerita Municipal Government.
……
The control center room of the Knights' Court Arena.
In the dim room, a tall and muscular figure wearing sunglasses put down the mouse in his hand and left silently, leaving only the bitten-off wire glowing with magical energy behind him.
Please give me a monthly ticket (whisper)
Chapter 228 Lanqi is now a man of value
A month passed quietly.
On a winter morning, the Ikrit campus was covered with a thin layer of frost, the bare branches trembled in the biting wind, and a fresh, cold fragrance emanated from the botanical garden.
Large patches of dark clouds were roaming across the sky, with only a few scattered wisps of blue peeking out from the gaps in the clouds.
Students wrapped in thick coats, holding steaming cups of coffee or tea in their hands, hurried past, their breath forming small white smoke in the cold air.
"Xiao Xiu is here."
Hyperion walked out of the main building of the Sage Academy with a faint smile on her face.
After completing the exam for the last course of this semester, the winter vacation began.
As soon as she walked out, she saw Talia waiting for her on a bench in the campus in the distance.
Talia rubbed her hands from time to time, and then took a deep breath of air-conditioning, feeling the unique sobriety brought by winter.
There were two boxes of packaged snack cakes on the wooden bench next to her. It seemed that if she hadn't been waiting for Hyperion, she would have been unable to resist eating both.
Looking at Talia from afar, who was trying hard to endure her restlessness, Hyperion laughed.
She really wanted to use all the money from the Duke's family to feed Tata, so that she could have enough food, sleep and live happily every day.
Now Hyperion lived in Talia's house, and Talia did not drive her away, but continued to teach her magic day after day.
So after the agreed two-week protection period, they still lived together tacitly, saying good morning and good night every day, without any change.
However, Hyperion will be going to the Northern Continent soon, so she will be separated from Tata for a long time.
The topic that Lanqi had planned earlier is finally about to start.
After she and Lanqi have completed the project registration procedures with Dean Loren, if they fail to return on time before the start of the next semester, they can get an extension for a period of time.
During the following three and a half months of winter vacation, the Knights' Academy where Frey was studying did not have the graduation project "Searching for the Slate Holder", and Frey could not get extra vacation permission outside of the winter vacation. Dean Sfintos of the Knights' Academy also did not allow Frey to run around, and required him to stay in the Knights' Academy to practice during the vacation. Dean Sfintos would personally guide him during the vacation, so Ranch and Hyperion could only say goodbye to Frey temporarily.
However, if he were to stay away for a few months, given Frey's monstrous talent, he would probably become a lot stronger.
Hyperion thought as she trotted over to Talia's side.
"Tata, I'm on vacation."
"Ah."
Talia stood up, took Hyperion's hand, and started walking towards the Cat Boss Restaurant on the east side of the school.
"Why doesn't Lanqi have to take the exam?"
After walking a few steps in the cold winter campus, Talia seemed a little confused, but she still asked the doubts in her heart.
"He... spent all day dealing with various campus disputes, and his credits were quite sufficient... and he also made a fortune..."
Hyperion shook her head, and her sigh was accompanied by a thin white mist.
Lanqi gave up all the exams except "General Knowledge of Magical Genealogy" this semester.
With the high credits of the four-level and five-level shadow worlds, plus the credits awarded for intensive handling of student union affairs, Lanqi's credits are more than enough to offset the required courses, and even have more.
After the Shadow World [Temple Evil Dinner], Hyperion and Lanci were both promoted to registered silver-level challengers of the Shadow World Management Association of the Southern Continent, and received a high bounty of 4500 pounds for killing the Saint of Destruction.
Hyperion still didn't take the bounty, so she asked Ranch and Frey to split it equally.
"It's all mine."
Talia said as a matter of course.
Lanqi still owed her a huge sum of money, and until it was paid off, Lanqi's property was hers in her eyes.
"Yes, there is still about half a year left, and he will pay you more than 8,000 pounds according to the contract."
Hyperion had heard that Lanci owed Tata a lot of money, and she also knew that there was some strange past between Lanci and Tata before she met Tata.
It is hard to imagine how these two people with completely opposite personalities can get along well with each other, instead of Lanqi angering Tata as soon as they meet and being punished by her.
"Lanqi still needs to work hard."
Hyperion exclaimed.
Some people appear to be wealthy on the surface, but in reality they are in great debt.
However, Lanqi is now a man with a clear value.
Although Hyperion didn't know what the bounty on her body was in the Resurrection Church, she knew that the bishop branch in the southern continent had already made the news public.
The Bishop of Destruction branch offers a reward of 10000 pounds for Ranch.
The rotten bishop offered 16000 pounds to bring Ranch alive.
The Dimension Bishop said that if Lanci could kill the Son of Destruction and satisfy his obsessive-compulsive disorder, he would donate 20000 pounds of charity fund to Ikrit College.
According to news reports, some time ago, the Bishop of Destruction found the Bishop of Dimension and had a fierce battle with him. The Bishop of Dimension was now beaten half to death and was fleeing for his life.
"Now that you two are on vacation, the Dean of the Sage Academy can finally have some free time."
Thalia said.
In fact, she did not expect at first that there would be a slate holder living in this city and willing to work in the school. At the closing event of the academic exchange visit held at Ikerit College - the team fighting competition, she saw Loren sitting on the referee's seat from afar.
Even from a distance, she could sense the man's terror.
But why did Hyperion say that their dean was always upset by Lanqi?
Talia didn't understand. If it were her, she would have used some coercive means to correct Lanqi.
"..."
Hyperion choked up.
The match that day was between Ikerit College and Alolan Royal College, and the final score was 5-0. At that time, she saw Loren sitting in a chair and crying. At that moment, she thought that if there was another chance, she must stop Lanci.
Knight Commander Juliana is here.
Nearly half of the visiting academic team from the Royal College of Alolan were unable to return.
Especially for the last five fighters, not only will their physical injuries require several months of treatment in Ikerit, but their psychological and mental injuries may also take a lifetime to heal.
However, perhaps due to the chain reaction caused by Phoenix's arrest, the destruction of the bishop and the war between the dimensional bishops, the Resurrection Church in the Kingdom of Alolan has been extremely active in recent times, and Knight Commander Juliana cannot leave her post in the Kingdom of Alolan without permission.
But she has already said that after the issue of the Church of Resurrection in the Kingdom of Aloran is resolved, she will come to Icerite in person to find Loren and ask him to wait.
After hearing the news, senior sister Lu Weixi from the Student Union opened a bottle of champagne with great excitement that day. They no longer have to worry about the performance of the newspaper next year.
Chapter 229: Hyperion thanks Lanqi in tears
The streets outside Ikrit College were relatively quiet, with small shops and cafes open on both sides.
At this time of day on weekday mornings, the lights in the store appear soft against the sky, ready to welcome lunchtime customers. Occasionally, one or two shop assistants can be seen wiping the glass or arranging the shelves in the store, preparing for the day that is just beginning.
Hyperion and Talia walked slowly, leisurely soaking up the winter tranquility.
"By the way, Lanqi's father, Mr. Noe, has now returned to the Nanwantina border. Tata, you are also from Nanwantina, right? Can we go back together next time?"
Hyperion said.
Tata went back early that day and was unable to follow Ranchi to see his father after the game.
Mr. Noe said that the game was unforgettable for him, and the thing he regretted most in his life was buying a ticket to the royal capital for Lanqi.
But what has happened has come to this, so let it be.
Noe hopes that Hyperion can go to the border with Lanci during the holidays. He is very optimistic about Hyperion, a girl who is both good in character and study, has a strong moral conscience, and is the same age as Lanci.
"..."
Although Talia is not from Nanwantina, the identity information that Lanqi had previously obtained for her did show that she was registered in that border region.
However, Talia had a very good impression of the Nanwantina border territory. Her decades of wandering career began to turn around in the Nanwantina territory, and everything after that became like a dream.
Hans, the butler, and Francine, the maid in the Lanci family, were also very kind to her. She hadn't seen them for a long time.
"Let's go back together next time. I'll take you to visit Nanwantina. There's something else that I'm curious about..."
Talking and talking.
Talia seemed to be in deep thought.
"what?"
Hyperion asked curiously.
"Didn't you say Lanqi was good at drawing?"
Talia could also see this by observing Lanqi making cards.
"Yes, he seems to be a bit ridiculous in this area, but I have never seen him seriously paint."
Hyperion nodded.
"When Hans, the station steward at Nanwantina, saw us off, he said that Lanqi had once painted a picture and it was a pity that I couldn't see it... I didn't pay much attention to it at the time, but now I'm getting more and more curious about what kind of painting it was."
Thalia murmured.
