Chapter 244 - 233: Lanci wants to leave a little suspense for Loren_1

The Dean’s office at Ichrite Academy’s Sage Academy.

The dark grey walls are offset by high-end black wooden furniture, giving a low-key, deep impression. A row of bookcases full of spatial overlapping effects are lined up against the wall, filled with classic works of Magical Engineering, as well as some academic reports and research journals.

A small conference area is set in one corner of the office, with a round low-legged conference table and several comfortable chairs, often used for brief meetings or informal exchanges with students and teaching staff.

The window is large and bright, overlooking the beautiful scenery of the campus, especially the courtyard of the Sage Academy and the distant Gu Ta Library. Natural light spills into the room abundantly, making the whole environment seem more spacious and bright.

Behind his broad wooden desk, Loren is engrossed in the documents in his hand.

The roller-coaster of a semester has finally come to an end.

As the Dean, he only had some wrapping up work left to do.

Seeing the mark that Lanci was absent for one exam and the near-perfect scores of Hyperion on the report card, Loren felt a lump in his throat. He could not figure out how these two ended up together.

Previously in the Royal Capital, almost everyone unanimously agreed that Miss Duchess Hyperion was far less capable than her father, Duke Migaya, showing no signs of inheriting Duke Migaya’s talent. But now, to Loren, that was not the case. Her talent was remarkable and she was able to tie up Lanci.

Loren dares not imagine what free-spirited Lanci would do to the Sage Academy without her around to keep Lanci’s attention.

Thinking of Lanci, then of the students from the Arolan Kingdom who were still in the hospital, and Juliana saying she’s waiting for him, Loren felt a stabbing pain in his head.

Suddenly.

The doorbell rang once.

"Come in."

Loren came back to his senses and motioned towards the door.

Then the office door was slowly pushed open.

Two students walked in with files.

They were dressed casually in their own clothes today, appearing very relaxed.

"Lanci, Hyperion, do you have holiday plans?"

Loren’s gaze immediately fell on the file in Lanci’s hand, it should be an application form.

"Yes, all other procedures have been completed at the Student Service Center, we just need your approval."

"No problem, I’m obliged to contribute to the development of Magical Engineering."

Lanci answered earnestly.

Loren nodded at the news. He’s never been reticent about supporting anything that might help Hutton Kingdom gain another Platinum Level Card Maker.

"Are you leaving today? Wouldn’t you rest for a couple of days after the holidays before leaving?"

He asked, looking at Lanci and Hyperion.

"Yes, we have already bought our tickets."

Hyperion saw a long-lost smile on Loren’s face. It was obvious that Loren was speaking words of concern for his students, but he was probably itching for Lanci to leave and give Ichrite Academy some peace.

"Time is quite tight. It will take us more than two months to travel to and from the North and South Continent."

Lanci, who was very reluctant to leave Ichrite Academy, answered honestly.

"Northern Continent, huh... The Northern Continent sounds good..."

Loren muttered to himself, signing their application forms.

"By the way."

After signing, Loren put away his pen and looked up at Lanci with interest.

"Who is the strong person you are planning to visit?"

Hearing that Lanci will be leaving the Hutton Kingdom for a while, Loren’s mood had improved significantly. If one had to describe it, it felt like the New Year’s Festival in the Capital was taking place the next day.

Since Lanci’s destination is the Northern Continent, he certainly can’t be going to visit Juliana.

This relieved Loren of a big worry.

Lanci and Hyperion exchanged glances.

Silence spoke volumes at that moment.

Hyperion felt a bit of a headache, supporting Lanci really tired her out.

"I think I’ll keep it a surprise for now. I will give you a surprise when I come back."

Lanci thought for a moment, then looked at Loren and answered.
