The hero's gender is yet to be determined after rebirth.

A student's parent was so overworked by his two beautiful wives that he developed severe dark circles under his eyes; even eating goji berries couldn't save him...

Chapter 020 Are you childhood sweethearts?

Standing between the two sides in the conflict was a male teacher from the school wearing a red robe.

Although wearing red robes is the lowest rank in the school's rules, standing up at this moment represents the school's stance.

Even though Utz was a baron, he didn't easily resort to violence, but he still shouted, "They were disrespectful to me, I'll teach them a lesson!"

The male teacher replied neither servilely nor arrogantly: "Your Excellency, this is the grounds of the St. Visian Moonlight Academy. Even if a commoner offends you here, the academy will handle the matter."

Baron Utz glanced at the academy's lily emblem on the opponent's red robe and did not attack again. The swordsman also did not draw his sword again.

"You two, come with me to receive your punishment!" The red-robed teacher shouted sternly at Lorenwei and Meilan.

"Huh? Why should we be punished? He was the one who littered and almost hit someone!" Meilan protested.

Lorenwei shook her head without saying anything, and tugged at Meilan's sleeve, urging her to follow the red-robed teacher.

But in that pull, a few strands of cotton were ripped from the cuff of Meilan's cotton-padded jacket...

The cotton-padded coat was so old and worn that with a little force, cotton could be pulled out from the tear. And it wasn't even good cotton; it was mixed cotton with unremoved seeds.

Lorenwei was stunned, staring at the cotton wadding on her hand, unable to process what she was seeing.

“Hahahaha!” Baron Utz noticed and burst into laughter.

Some people around laughed, though they were few and immediately stopped, but the mockery was very obvious.

"See that? Her clothes are so big they could be torn to shreds!" Baron Utz laughed so hard his fat jiggled, his face contorted like the pleats of a steamed bun.

"Yes, yes, I saw it, it's hilarious!" His bodyguard swordsman immediately chimed in.

Meilan, seemingly unconcerned, took the few strands of cotton from the stunned Lorenwei's hand and stuffed them back into the hole in her sleeve. Her fair but not very clean fingers poked around inside the hole in the cotton-padded jacket, then pinched the opening.

Meilan noticed that Lorenwei was looking at her, and explained in a serious tone, "I forgot to bring my needle and thread when I went out, so I can't mend it."

Lorenwei opened her mouth to say sorry, but found that she couldn't open her mouth.

"Come with me." The teacher in the red robe pointed ahead.

Meilan asked hesitantly, "But what about our registration..."

"You must be punished first before you can come and register," the red-robed teacher said in a low voice, before leading them away.

"Hey! Leave your names!" Baron Utz suddenly shouted.

"My name is... Ouch!" Meilan was about to open her mouth when the red-robed teacher tripped her with his yellow-handled spear as if by accident.

Lorenwei calmly replied, "My name is Loren, and her name is Lanlan."

"Hey, how did you know my nickname?" Meilan asked in surprise. "I haven't introduced myself as Meilan, have I?"

The teacher in the red robe rolled his eyes, sighed, and said nothing more.

Huh? How would I know? Lorenwei was taken aback.

She actually guessed right? It was just a casual remark; she had originally intended to keep it from Baron Utz. She smiled awkwardly.

Lorenwei naturally knew that Baron Utz wanted revenge, so she deliberately gave the girl's pseudonym. Unexpectedly, she guessed the nickname correctly, and the other party even said her own name.

Meilan? That's a bit strange. Maybe that's how names are used in the northern region.

"Hahaha! I understand! Your names are Loren and Melanie, remember that!" Baron Utz turned and got back into the carriage.

Baron Utz boarded the carriage, but did not drive away immediately.

The red-robed teacher noticed this and shouted sternly, "Aren't you coming with me to receive your punishment?!"

"Why should I?" Meilan pouted, her crimson lips moving as if she wanted to say something.

“Let’s go with her,” Lorenwei whispered. This time, she didn’t dare pull on Meilan; she might even tear off a sleeve…

Lorenwei, her hands empty, swayed unsteadily, while Meilan, carrying a small bundle slung over a tree branch on her shoulder, trembled as she followed the red-robed teacher away from the queue.

"Hmph! I'll remember you!" Baron Utz, still inside the carriage, clung to the window and shouted again.

Then, the carriage continued along the noble passage.

"See, don't offend the nobles."

"Yes, especially these fat noblemen."

The onlookers murmured among themselves.

Someone corrected: "Hey, not all fat nobles are scum, and not all of them are..."

"Have you been brainwashed?"

……

Lorenwei and Meilan followed the red-robed teacher, making two turns before arriving at a management station.

At the doorway, the teacher in the red robe gestured for the two to stop.

Meilan shrugged: "So what if he remembers? He doesn't owe me a chicken leg, and I don't owe him one."

The red-robed mage was embarrassed: What's wrong with this girl? All she can think about is chicken legs?

“He doesn’t remember you because of the chicken leg, but because of the way we threw the chicken leg away,” Lorenwei said.

Meilan said "Oh," and then added, "I understand. He won't forget me because he doesn't owe me a chicken leg, but because he threw a chicken leg at him."

Lorenwei waved her hand to correct her: "That's not right. It's not that he forgot you because he doesn't owe you a chicken leg, but that he remembers you because you threw a chicken leg at him."

"Are you childhood sweethearts?" the red-robed teacher couldn't help but interrupt.

Lorenwei and Meilan said in unison, "No."

Teacher in red robes: "..."

Lorenwei pointed her left index finger at Meilan on the right: "I didn't even know her name was Meilan."

Meilan pointed her right index finger at Lorenwei on the left: "I just found out his name is Lorenwei too."

The two women were about the same height and had similar builds, and both wore expressions of complete nonchalance, as if they were telling the truth. If they were a little closer and twisted their waists a bit more, they might just merge and transform into the strongest warrior.

The teacher in the red robe said, "...I'll take that as my belief."

"Now, can you let us go?" Lorenwei giggled. "Thank you for helping us, teacher."

"Huh? How did he help us?" Meilan asked, puzzled.

Lorenwei: "He made that annoying nobleman lose face."

Meilan remained puzzled: "That's helping that fat guy."

"That's enough," the teacher in the red robe interrupted their crosstalk. "Young people, if you don't know the rules for the poor and lowly, you'll suffer greatly!"

Lorenwei, looking every bit the academic genius, said, "Yeah, I understand."

Meilan looked at me like I was a terrible student: "Hey, I don't understand."

"...Whether you've had enough or not, I've had enough!" The teacher in the red robe opened the door.

Inside the inn, there was an old caretaker with a white beard and a hunched back: "Hey? Who made a mistake?"

"Two arrogant brats who dare to offend the nobility, teach them a lesson." The red-robed teacher grabbed the keychain from the old ward, opened one of the many iron doors, and angrily shoved Lorenwei and Melanie inside. "Stay here!"

The iron gate was locked, and the two of them couldn't get out of the room.

"You better wake up here!" the red-robed teacher warned the two men, feigning a fierce tone. "There's a defensive array here. You might be able to break through, but you'll be detected. If you dare to break free, you'll be wanted by the academy!"

Because the room was so small, barely two steps wide, Lorenwei and Meilan stood very close together.

It's so close that you can see the pores even in the faintest sunlight.

Of course, given Lorenwei's habit of watching countless films and being a pervert, she was actually more interested in seeing the girl's... pores...

Chapter 021 Demon King's Talent Skill - Appraisal of Past Life's Slaughter! (Bonus chapter thanks to Treasure Chest)

This is a very small detention room, specifically for temporarily holding people who have made minor offenses. Although it's not like a prison with iron bars, the doors and windows are made of iron, giving it a feeling of solitary confinement.

The red-robed teacher had planned to wait half a day, helping the two escape the nobles' harsh treatment, before releasing them.

However, in the enclosed, cramped space, Lorenwei and Meilan were left alone.

It was indeed inappropriate for the teacher in the red robe to lock the two of them together; usually, such a guarded room is for one person only. After all, it was a boy and a girl, both fourteen years old, but at that age, something could easily happen.

However, in the teacher's eyes, the two were childhood sweethearts and had a very good understanding. In addition, he was indeed busy with work and confused by their tongue-twisting conversation, so he simply locked them up inside.

Is Lorenwei a gentleman?

of course not.

Unfortunately, the disarmed puppet troops could not hold out.

However, as a seasoned womanizer, Lorenwei is naturally as vigorous as ever!

"Wow! This space is too small, there are only the two of us..." Lorenwei said sarcastically.

Although Meilan may look a bit like a country girl at first glance, as an experienced observer who knows that you can't trust the cover and that the live video is the real deal, a closer look will reveal the truth.

From Lorenwei's perspective, gleaned from the cover's viewpoint, Meilan is indeed a beautiful girl!

"Hmm, this place is really small." Meilan looked around.

As she turned around, the branch she was carrying on her shoulder swept across her.

Lorenwei instinctively lowered her head. Luckily, she was a sword saint in her past life, otherwise she definitely wouldn't have been able to dodge it.

The branch hit the wall, while the bundle softly bumped against Lorenwei's face.

*Snap*—The bundle fell apart.

A girl's clothes fell out, just a few soft undergarments. No wonder she wore a cotton-padded jacket instead of summer clothes; she didn't have any extra clothes.

Although it's not valuable, it's definitely not something I'd want to show off.

"Oh dear!" Meilan, who was usually carefree, suddenly blushed and hurriedly dropped the branch to start picking up the pieces.

“I’ll help you.” Lorenwei also bent down to help.

"No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no." Meilan's hands moved with lightning speed as she quickly picked up the underwear and stuffed it back into the bundle.
