on plots, wrongly accused of crimes, and unable to discern who is trying to help her and who is trying to harm her.Finally, she found some clues about her father's disappearance and a glimmer of hope....Chapter 380: Lance began to tell his story.
In the night, raindrops danced lightly on the car window, creating a gentle patter that intertwined with the three people's conversation.
The atmosphere inside was tranquil and serene, a stark contrast to the rain and distant clamor outside.
"You, you can't possibly be the principal this time, right"
Hubert fidgeted nervously, clutching his palms together as he awaited Lance's response.
According to the Ice Witch, Protos Royal Magic Academy is a school with extremely fierce competition, directly under the Ministry of Education. While Grand Mage Isis can exert some influence over it, the rules are strictly governed by the ancient magical boundary settings established when the school was founded a century ago.
Even prominent figures from the Protos Imperial Court were unable to manipulate this institution for personal gain. While there were certain privileges afforded to their children within the established rules, there was no principal position. This fundamentally eliminated the possibility of Ranche fulfilling his calling.
Logically, Lance is not a nobleman now, and he doesn't even have student status. It should be a hellish start for him to become a teacher at the academy, and his political identity wouldn't necessarily scare those students.
It is said that the student at the top of the academy is the young lady of the Berrenhardt Duke family, the most powerful in the capital. It's simply breathtaking.
"...."
Lanche turned back and smiled at Huberlian, spreading his hands wide. A thousand words were unspoken in that gesture, as if welcoming Huberlian to Herloom, a world he had already carved out just for her.
Although I'm not the headmaster in name, everyone calls me "Principal."
Ranch also has no way to do anything about this.
Teachers were very enthusiastic and hospitable, but strictly speaking, he was pushed into this position during that harsh winter.
As the saying goes, "the greater the ability, the greater the responsibility." Lance never shies away from his responsibilities.
" "
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
Hughbert stared at Lance, his eyes wide with disbelief. He couldn't find the words to speak.
And Misura beside her froze, staring back and forth between her sister's expression and Lance's face.
Misura didn't understand why, for something so happy, her sister would react like this.
"Tell me about your journey to becoming principal."
Hubberley inhaled deeply, her face utterly still. She exhaled and said to Lance, "Or perhaps her heart has stopped beating altogether."
"...Then I told them about how Lord Francis asked me to become a tutor, and how Lady Zestira and I journeyed from the coastal city of Lillom to the Imperial City of Herloom..."
Then, Lan Qi began to tell Huberlian about his experiences when he first arrived in the Imperial City of Helrom.
Such as how he met Professor Sidedo at the Protoss Royal Magic Academy and became an assistant under his invitation, then was offered a bounty of 130,000 credits on the day of the monthly assessment, and finally reached the pinnacle with the support and encouragement of the students, at the end, he proposed the Macassi reform for the Protoss Royal Magic Academy and received 100% approval and praise from the entire school.
Misura, after listening, clapped her hands in astonishment. The story sounded like something made up, but considering reality, it might even be too conservative.
Lance immediately looked at Huberlian with anticipation, waiting for her response.
It's like asking her — am I satisfied with the academy I built for you
Looking back on the first time we challenged Purgatory Corridor Academy with Hubrian, it finally makes up for the unfinished business we had back then.
Those twelve hours were too short. Just as Lance, newly in command of the lightning, had a chance to show Hubrian around the Inferno Corridor Academy properly, the Shadow World vanished like smoke.
A tear rolled down Hughberry's cheek.
but not tears of emotion.
Tears that dare not fall.
She felt that the Goddess was watching them.
After hearing about the bounty increase formula and Lannche's final bounty amount, Huberlian roughly calculated how many students' blood had been used to forge Lannche's position. She knew that all the merit she had accumulated in Ethersland over this period of time was gone.
When she was young, her father, Duke Mihgai, always told her that if she didn't do good deeds and accumulate virtue, her luck would turn bad. Since she had bad luck from a young age, she was especially afraid of doing anything that might harm her karma.
Now Huberly found that no matter how hard she tried to do good, she couldn't keep up with Ranch's reckless spending.
"...you."
Hubberley's eyes were welling up, she seemed a little dazed. After hearing about Lance's political achievements and then finding out he was the principal, she wasn't feeling as devastated by the interview on the square anymore.
But Huberli's heart was still beating—
This guy's story is only about a third of the way through, it seems.
He didn't say a word about how he got into Protoss politics.
This made Huberlian afraid to hear Lane tell stories anymore.
However, it's alright. It seems Lance shifted his target due to the current situation and didn't stubbornly join the Annihilation branch as initially planned. In this chaotic situation, he went all the way down a dark path.
The Bishop of Silence is not someone to be trifled with!
Just the sight of a desolate saint and a high priest of the Desolation sect scared her and Misura half to death. She couldn't even begin to imagine how terrifying the Desolation Church, located in one of the vast North Continents, must be - utterly mad, wicked, and evil.
And now she is a priestess of the Goddess of Fate. The Church of Rebirth and her church are mortal enemies, and she would absolutely not accept any connection between Lance and cultists. If she found out that Lance was going his own way, she would fight tooth and nail to take him away from the Northern Continent.
"My heart and actions are as clear as a mirror, everything I do is just."
Lancelot addressed Huberlian in a grave and solemn tone,
"Rest assured, I assure you that everything I did in the Protoss Empire was above board."
"...."
Let me know if you'd like to translate anything else!
Hubert absolutely believed in Rance's integrity.
She is afraid, the more sunny this person is, the more afraid she becomes!
Although along the way, not only in Milford's territory, but also in Box Mountain Province, and even when she reached the capital city of Herloom and Protoss Royal Magic Academy, the "hell mode" that the Ice Witch had estimated turned into a "baby mode" she actually encountered, making her feel exceptionally lucky.
But, the good fortune of Protos Royal Magic Academy came at a price set by fate.
Hupley kept telling herself not to dwell on the past, to look forward. The only difficulty now was planning the final, most difficult escape.
If she can save Talia's dearest friend, her mission will be accomplished and she will earn immeasurable merit. It will surely cover Lanchi's deficit, and the Goddess will surely bless him then.
He often walks by the river, he must be lucky enough to safely pass through this life.
"You're so handsome, brother-in-law! My father will definitely support you too, and the Milford family and our allies in the Northwest province will do everything they can to get you elected to the upper house!"
Mishuara simply gave a thumbs-up in admiration.
"We are not that kind of relationship."
Ranch and Hubleyan both said.
Mishu only nodded, her stiff face twitching with a slight smile, making her look like she was watching the drama unfold.
"...."
In the car, which was momentarily filled with a slight awkward and quiet silence, Huberly didn't have time to overthink things. He still put the increasingly urgent mission first.
She didn't know how to bring herself to ask Lance to help her infiltrate Hellem Prison.
To use Lance's position would be a bit too underhanded, he has never been one to abuse his power for personal gain.
Let's just wait and see what Lance says, maybe we can... ask him for a little help.
As of 9 p.m., the number of votes on the monthly ticket list is 17,884. Based on a calculation of 18,000, a total of 36 more chapters are needed. Currently, six chapters have been added in these few days, and there are still 30 chapters to go.
