Don't confiscate my identity as a human race

Chapter 952 - 727: Lanci’s Promotion Diary_2

Nikola saw Professor Landry approaching, his tone as deep and emotionless as ever.

"Okay, I’ve finished all my lessons for today, and I can accompany you now."

Lanci maintained a carefree demeanor, a slight smile curling at the corner of his lips as he nodded in ready agreement,

"I’ve kept you waiting, Captain Nikola."

He expressed his thanks to Nikola.

"My work today was actually to investigate and record that classroom, 4-21, so this works out well."

Red Falcon Nikola saw that Professor Landry had accepted the invitation without any hesitation, which surprised him slightly, but he didn’t show it.

He gestured "after you."

"The car from the Special Operations Department is parked not far from the Elliot Building."

Nikola moved with brisk strides, and Lanci walked alongside him through the grand and dimly lit corridors of the Elliot Building.

The students watched the two men walk away, whispering among themselves, their questions gradually being replaced by curiosity.

What was the enigmatic connection between Professor Landry and the Empire’s Special Operations Department?

Countless speculations whirled in the minds of the students, even daring to ask Professor Landry’s sister Elsa, but she only clenched her sleeve tightly at her chest and shook her head.

Elsewhere.

"It seems you are quite popular with the students."

Red Falcon Nikola seemed even more familiar with the Elliot Building’s surroundings than Professor Landry, walking half a step ahead, as if he were the one guiding the professor.

He had noticed the students who had come out of classroom 4-43, but they all shrank back when they saw the military officer, Red Falcon Nikola.

Indeed, his job was to bring Professor Landry back.

"Elsa is a child who is so sensible it’s heartbreaking, and I haven’t been in much contact with her these past few years. If Captain Nikola has any suspicions about me, please feel free to talk to me, but don’t disturb her, okay?"

For once Lanci’s stance was somewhat more forthright.

"... No problem."

Red Falcon Nikola chuckled in relief and nodded.

It didn’t take long for the two men to walk down from the labyrinthine Elliot Building to the street by a plaza on the side.

"Lanci, why would you let him know that Elsa is your weak point?"

Talia asked in confusion inside Lanci’s mind.

She felt that Nikola was suspicious of Lanci at all times, and Lanci’s recent reply to Nikola was very risky.

"In fact, if I didn’t care about Elsa, that would make Nikola suspicious. Besides, it’s good to give him a weak point—he’ll not only be convinced that I care about my sister, but also think I’m easier to control, as a person with vulnerabilities and family ties. Often those who are true spies are completely alone, without any worries."

Lanci replied to Talia.

"... You’re strangely clever."

Talia considered for a moment and then agreed with Lanci.

The boy played the spy all too skillfully, maintaining his composure in the face of problems, instantly sidestepping all traps to find the optimal solution—as if born for undercover work.

In a short while, a black Magic Guided Vehicle parked on the other side of the plaza’s road quickly moved onto the road upon seeing Red Falcon Nikola and Professor Landry.

"Good day, sir."

A secret service agent in formal attire saluted Nikola through the window.

Nikola, with one hand behind his back and the other opening the rear car door for Lanci, watched him sit inside the vehicle and then took his place on the opposite side of the back seat.
