Chapter 669 - 618: Lanci Thinks This Won’t Be an Issue
"Lanci, you’re back."
The door to the student council room opened, and the air, infused with the scent of coffee and candles, wafted in. Lanci quickly spotted the president sitting behind the desk.
In front of him, a long table made of dark wood, meticulously polished to a sheen that reflected the last rays of the sunset through the partially covered large window. Next to the window, the deep red curtains swayed gently in the breeze, shimmering in the evening light like the curtains of a theater.
It seemed the president was still around at this hour, likely waiting for Lanci.
"Monasite Senior, I’m sorry for being late."
Lanci promptly walked over to the desk and took a seat opposite the president.
However, as he passed by the rest area on the left side of the room, he saw a female with pearwood-colored hair sitting on the exceedingly comfortable leather sofa of the student council. She glanced curiously back at Lanci, and he nodded to her as a simple greeting without further conversation, as speaking with the president was more pressing at the moment.
"Actually, there’s nothing urgent in terms of official business; you don’t have to worry."
Monasite closed the book in his hands and placed it beside him on the table, his gaze turning towards Lanci,
"This time, the academic visiting team from the Yarolan Kingdom seems quite ordinary compared to the last, except for a girl named Kukulka Paccas who has put forth a request."
"Kukulka?"
Lanci had not heard this name before.
But from the president’s expression, it seemed that she was related to their student council.
"Do you remember Kuise? The strongest martial artist from last year’s Arolan Royal Academy Academic Visiting Team, who kept challenging our Soul of Fighters’ Club Team, until you personally coached them and defeated him in the fighting contest."
Monasite asked again.
"I remember."
Lanci suddenly understood.
Last year, during the first term, it all started when Kuise from the Royal Arolan Academy wanted to challenge the strongest leader of the Soul of Fighters’ Club Team, Cervini. However, Cervini had already transferred to Alchemy College to study law, so Kuise kept tormenting and attacking the members of the Soul of Fighters’ Club Team, trying to force Cervini to face him in combat. Even when the student council members approached for dialogue, he made disrespectful comments towards Hyperion.
In the end, under the president’s guidance, a fair five-on-five competition was arranged, and the Soul of Fighters’ Club Team coached by Lanci won a resounding victory.
"Miss Kukulka is Kuise’s sister, and they both are nobles of the Arolan Kingdom."
Monasite continued to explain.
"So she wants to avenge her brother?"
Lanci held his chin in puzzlement.
"No, at least not as I see it. She is quite reasonable, and the first thing she did upon arriving at the student council room was to apologize to Hyperion for her brother’s rudeness."
Monasite shook his head,
"She applied to be a one-year exchange student at Ichrite Academy, with her sights set on Sage Academy, and she also wants to join the ’Hutton Times’ newspaper club where Lavisseir belongs. She needs a senior student from Sage Academy to show her around the campus. Moreover, as a priest, she is very interested in Dean Loren."
Monasite spoke to Lanci as if discussing family matters,
"Forgive my presumption, but it’s evident that her main goal is Dean Loren. After some thought, I sent Hyperion to show her around."
There didn’t seem to be any significant issues with this routine academic visit.
"I see."
Lanci thought it over and agreed that Hyperion was indeed the most suitable person.
This led to her being unsure how to meet her dear friend.
"She heard that you can create an impeccable Transformation Magic, so she wants to ask you to make a Magic Card that can disguise her as a male. That way, she can walk arm-in-arm with Dean Loren openly as a close friend,"
Monasite added from the side.
"A card-making commission, huh."
Since becoming a Cardmaker, this was the first time Lanci had received a formal card-making commission.
Actually, it was also because he had never opened his schedule as a Registered Card-making Master at the Cardmaker’s Association.
Lanci roughly understood. To put it simply, Florence didn’t know how to meet her online friend.
Dean Loren thought he was meeting a reliable male buddy online, but in reality, it was a woman. To reassure Dean Loren, the woman wanted to disguise herself as a man.
"Is there a risk of being found out?"
Lanci leaned forward slightly and asked.
He thought it wasn’t inherently a bad thing and being found out wouldn’t be a big deal, but there might be trouble on Dean Loren’s end.
"It’s okay, as long as the ’Bingxue Witch’ doesn’t find out, there should be no problem. She’s the only one in the Church here who knows I’m a woman. Although the ’Bingxue Witch’ has come to the Hutton Kingdom, she clearly has no interest in Loren. If I just avoid her a little, there will be no issues,"
Florence shook her head firmly.
She knew that the ’Bingxue Witch’ Almis had been in the Hutton Kingdom for a long time and had even been helping Loren handle church affairs recently. If Almis hadn’t helped him, he probably couldn’t have coped.
But Florence guessed that Almis’s goal was likely also to investigate the Cardinal Bishop from the Northern Continent.
With Almis occupied with her own work, she wouldn’t be watching Loren all the time.
If Almis really were to keep such a close watch on Loren, Florence would feel a chill.
Anyway, Florence had some understanding of Almis. Almis was not that kind of perverted woman.
"No problem, how about this look?"
Saying this, Lanci took out paper and pen from under the coffee table and soon sketched a drawing. It depicted a pear wood-haired beautiful youth, retaining features of Florence’s appearance while making her look like a boy.
"Perfect! Can you really make me look like this without Loren realizing I’ve used a disguise spell?"
Florence looked at the sketchpad, her eyes wide with excitement, and her lips a glistening red, she resembled an exuberant and lively young woman.
"Of course, I should be able to give you the card by tomorrow. I’ll leave it with the Chairman here, and Miss Florence can come to collect it from him,"
Lanci replied with a smile.
Whether helping Loren or the Chairman, he was more than willing.
Previously in the Northern Continent, when disguising his identity, he had to be completely identical to the target, which took nearly a day to create a specific Transformation Card.
This time, as there was no need to be completely alike to the sketch, only to turn Miss Florence into a male appearance, the work would be finished quickly.
Lanci was already highly skilled; the Magic Card he was best at now was the "Transformation Magic".
"Thank you so much, Lanci!"
Florence clapped her hands joyfully.
Soon, she would be able to meet her dear friend!
