the lockdown on the northern border has been tightened, even communication between the imperial northern provinces and other provinces has been cut off. Except for the secret departments with special...Chapter 283: Lanchi just brushed up two days of hatred value.

"Mr. Locke, do you really feel that way about what you said in class"

Seido smiled, a hint of weariness in his smile.

Lanche nodded, her gaze fixed on the distance.

Two people walked along the stone corridor, on either side of which were green gardens. On the surface of a small pond in the center, a few flower petals floated.

Based on my personal research, I do feel that the things in the images are not like the demons I know.

Lance replied candidly.

Even though he might not be right, from his own subjective judgment, those guys weren't qualified demons.

"

“……”

" Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

Sildor pondered for a long time.

"I can tell you one thing."

He looked at the pond and said softly.

Please speak, Master Seido.

Lanci now finds Seido's position rather delicate.

According to Lanche's prior knowledge, Seido Alendale is a member of the Imperial Sage Isis' academy faction and has always maintained an absolutely neutral stance towards the Empire's turmoil.

Regarding their stances, they didn't explicitly discuss them, but one could generally tell where each stood based on their interactions.

This month's evaluation day, someone might want to do something cruel to Zesthira, like taking her dragon horn or eyes.

Semedo's voice was hesitant, laced with much uncertainty.

"Why"

Lang, upon hearing this, paused for a moment and asked.

Just a guess.

At this point, Seto fell silent.

Then there was a moment of silence between the two.

Ranch understood Xi Duo's meaning.

There are some things that are just not convenient to say directly.

Seido also suspected that there were forces in the Northern Continent trying to create perfect camouflage spells for demons, deepening the fear and inciting war.

This kind of experiment and the refinement process are bound to require samples.

In the Protoss Empire, most of the Zerg are of relatively low mixed blood.

However, the latest admissions test report from Zara Sila reveals that she possesses an almost pure-blooded magical ancestry.

Retrieving materials from Zestiria's body might hold significant meaning.

Sido must still know something to make such a deduction.

As the two approached the history department building, its exterior walls, eroded by time, appeared somewhat aged. Yet, the texture of the bricks was particularly rich after the winter snow had melted away.

Thank you for the reminder, Teacher Xidi.

After crossing the threshold, Lance finally spoke, his voice slow and measured.

Behind the door, a dim yellow light filled the space. At the end of the corridor, a faint glow emanated from an ancient wrought-iron chandelier, casting shadows on the walls and illuminating the area.

That is, on Wednesday's monthly assessment day after tomorrow.

If he can protect Zestila and confirm the suspicions of the frequent attendee, Sido may tell him more information that the neutral faction knows.

"For the next two days, please help me manage classroom discipline, Teacher Locke."

Seido smiled faintly and said sincerely.

Just now, the words he and Lance spoke vanished as naturally as fleeting clouds.

Don't worry, I guarantee I will improve the school spirit.

Ranchi nodded responsibly.

……

As the sun set, the sky turned pitch black, only to be illuminated once more by the dawn.

Thus, the two days passed in a blink of an eye.

Hello, it was the monthly assessment day at the end of February.

A soft pink gradually dispelled the silence and darkness of night. In the quiet residential area of Protos Royal Academy, a detached dormitory quietly awakened.

The house exterior was covered in ivy, a lush green that revealed the beige walls beneath. On one side of the floor-to-ceiling window, behind the drawn curtains, Zesira gently rose from her bed.

Her sleepy eyes were dazed and slightly menacing, she scratched at her messy hair.

You need to get up early and arrive at the barrier assessment district before 7:50 am today, otherwise you will be considered absent. Not only will you miss the opportunity to earn a large number of credits once a month, but you will also have many credits deducted as punishment.

The sound of goldfinches singing could already be heard in the courtyard outside.

"…"

She knew the teacher should have gotten up long ago and was probably in the garden feeding the birds now.

Zetherilla lit up her student bracelet, frowning as she looked down. Besides the time, the bracelet displayed dim crimson text that had changed to 【172 ( 10)】, showing her current credit points.

"How did so many credits get into my account yesterday"

She murmured to herself.

There should be a new credit entry at midnight today, bringing her total credits to 182.

The points appear in parentheses, indicating that they were earned by Teacher Locke on her behalf.

10 credits might not seem like much, but even though she was already at the top of her class among the pre-college students, she couldn't usually get double digits in credits in a single day.

Generally speaking, the main way for pre-freshmen and freshmen to earn credits is through monthly assessments.

According to performance, being able to obtain 100 credits is already very high.

If both performance and luck are excellent, it's even possible to score close to 300 points. For pre-university students, once the total academic credit points reach 1000 points, they are eligible for early promotion to the first year.

"He could just do nothing."

Zethira murmured to herself, stepping out of bed and walking across the soft carpet.

But my heart was still a little touched.

Getting 10 credits in a day is not an easy task, even for upperclassmen.

I haven't seen the teacher much these past two days.

He went out early in the morning and wouldn't be back to his apartment unit until late. You couldn't see him around the lower grades at all, he must be working very hard.

The main house was surrounded by lush greenery and vibrant flowers. In one corner of the garden stood a towering eucalyptus tree, its crown like a large umbrella, providing ample shade for the plants and small animals below.

Zethira stepped out of the mansion and quickly spotted Lanci's figure in the garden.

She approached the large tree, her footsteps lighter as she neared.

The garden path was paved with exquisite pebbles, and both sides were planted with various flowers. Under the morning sun, they bloomed in shy colors. A pair of white butterflies fluttered among the flowers, their wings shimmering with a light luster in the morning light.

Zeltira paused before Lance.

"Teacher, what's the matter with these 10 credits"

This time was different from usual. Although a small bird was startled into flight, several others hesitantly flew back soon after.

It seems they heard Ranchi telling them that Zestira was also a friend, or perhaps they truly realized that this dragon posed no threat.

"Normal work rewards, every day for the next three days will have 10 credits added to your account, just by me coming to school you can earn credits. I was quite busy yesterday and didn't have time to tell you."

Lance smiled and set down the bag of grain in his hands.

He completed his onboarding procedures on Monday and officially started work on Tuesday, so Zestora likely received yesterday's credit rewards.

"Teacher, weren't you bullied by upperclassmen at school these past two days"

Zestilla glanced at her bracelet, and asked.

She was still a little worried about Ranch hanging around the upperclassmen area all day.

"No, there isn't."

Ranche tilted his head as if it were perfectly natural.

That's good.

The only thing that worried Zestilla was the possibility of the teacher being targeted by upperclassmen.

Today, during the monthly assessment, there will be a reward system in place.

If you make an enemy at school, you're very likely to get a reward.

And if you've made a lot of enemies, this number could increase exponentially.

But realistically, there aren't many people you could offend in this school.

(The End)
