Chapter 88 Popular 'District' Graduates

The top floor of the Tower of Babel.

The silver-haired goddess, scantily clad, swirled a wine glass in her hand, crossed her legs, and leisurely enjoyed the beautiful cityscape.

She, who is born to represent the concept of "beauty", also has troubles that ordinary people cannot know.

Wherever she goes, people who meet her develop a fondness for her, and some even become infatuated with her.

Therefore, she lived on the top floor of the Tower of Babel year-round, "imprisoning" herself, only occasionally secretly putting on a cloak to conceal her appearance and going out to relax.

That's why she craved the moments of being a "girl," using Helen's "transformation" magic to give herself a break...

"Orario these days is breathtakingly beautiful. Don't you think so, Orta?"

"Ah."

The tall, burly warrior, unsmiling, quietly gazed at the goddess he guarded and gave a straightforward answer.

"The 'School District'... Brilliant souls from all over the world have gathered in Orario. Ortar, have you gone to get a piece of the pie?"

Freya took a sip of wine, her alluring eyes slightly raised as she glanced at the warrior behind her.

"They are not worthy."

Otta replied in a detached tone.

Level 7, the strongest martial artist in the city, has the right to say such a thing.

Freya's Familia now has more than 5,000 members, including believers. Only the first few officers were "picked up" by Freya herself.

Regarding this…

"That's not how it works; there are still many special children..."

Freya held up her wine glass and swirled it around. Sunlight streamed through the glass without any obstruction, reflecting the goddess's face.

"It's a pity, it's a pity..."

"That was the child Astraea chose... Is she lucky or unlucky?"

The warrior remained silent. Having followed Freya for many years, he naturally knew about the relationship between Freya and Astrea.

Both of them share a similar collecting obsession, making them "collecting buddies." Moreover, the Astrea Familia's reputation is so great that it far surpasses that of these so-called urban kings.

None of the lawful gods had any intention of offending Astrea, even though they were just fledglings reborn from the ashes.

Moreover, during the "school district" comeback season, which is full of heroes, there are quite a few similar heroes, which makes Freya even less inclined to make a big fuss.

only……

Her gaze casually fell on a green-haired elf who was currently wearing an invisibility cloak and secretly following behind a red-haired boy...

Like a mother hen watching over her chicks.

Seeing this scene...

Freya's pink lips curled slightly: "Compared to the so-called heroic souls, the developments here seem more interesting..."

……

School district hotel.

Leon looked troubled. Shaka, who had been supposed to go to the school district together, had disappeared that morning.

I asked the relevant people, but there was still no news. I was about to go out and ask Xia Ke if they had arrested someone and put them in solitary confinement again when...

His prized student, Lefia, suddenly showed up...

"It's quite rare to see Lefia visiting alone. What do you want to say?"

"Professor Leon... it's about a way out..."

Lefia's mind was overwhelmed. Just now, she had been personally invited by Hedin, a member of the first-level adventurer [Freya] Familia.

"Not only that, Alicia-senpai also extended an invitation to me before."

"I'm very troubled right now."

After the incident with Yui, she actually came to terms with the idea of ​​becoming the "adventurer" that others thought she should be.

Thinking that since I have talent, I should just go along with everyone's expectations and keep moving forward towards my dreams and hopes.

But now, not only the Loki Familia, but even the Freya Familia has extended invitations to him. So much so that…

Choosing which side to go became a difficult decision for the little elf.

Regarding this…

"I see... You have troubles that other students would never have."

"Well……"

Leon was also helpless. Normally, for a student, being invited by the kin of one of the two kings was something they would desperately want. It not only meant that they could quickly improve their abilities, but also gain access to more resources.

But now, this has become a shackle that troubles Lefia.

Upon careful consideration, this means that choosing either side will offend the other, and if not handled properly, it could be a serious problem.

Leon still didn't show any signs of annoyance, and discussed the way out with Lefia word by word.

He sat in the chair, one hand supporting his chin.

Suddenly, he poured liquid into a new wine glass on the table and pushed it toward the elf.

"Lefia, drink this."

“Eh…? Professor Leon, isn’t this…”

"Keep it a secret."

Leon held up a finger to his lips and offered her the wine.

"Lefia, I think that one's path should be filled with constant worries. Constant worries, constant confusion, and finally, reflection. If you can't find the answer, you should reflect for even longer."

“Then,” he said slowly, “when your heart is touched, listen to the voice within.”

"The voice within me?"

Lefia remembered that night, the song that Yui sang, which conveyed the same meaning.

Forge ahead with all your might, soar into the blue sky! And then, become the person you most want to be!

Lefia snapped out of her thoughts. She wanted to find Yui, who was always full of energy. Being around that child always made her feel like all her troubles disappeared.

Perhaps, I can find an opportunity by being by her side.

……

Cases like Lefia's are not uncommon. Each time the "school district" returns, it brings a lot of fresh blood to Orario, while also taking away more children who want to seek "knowledge".

Commonly known as: Graduation season.

Similarly, younger players have also received similar invitations.

Today, Kanade Tachibana, along with her seniors from the [Harmony Department], visited the largest medical facility in Orario – the [Deankaite Familia].

Most of them hope to join the largest healing faction in Orario.

Therefore, in addition to the clan, the "Battlefield Saintess" Amid personally served as the judge, assessing this year's trainees.

Xiao Zou stood quietly in place, watching the senior students burst into passionate enthusiasm.

She knew that she had no chance of changing her clan affiliation, nor would she ever do so, and that her knowledge of pharmaceuticals would not pass such a rigorous screening.

She hoped to witness more advanced pharmaceutical techniques so that she could apply them to reality and save more people.

Her stark contrast to everyone else made her an instant target for another clan.

Naza, the dog-woman, was hiding in a corner across the street. Her listless eyes suddenly flashed with golden light.

That look, that posture—it's someone who looks down on Dean Kate! The enemy of my enemy is my ally!

She stared at Tachibana Kanade, but her body instinctively lunged forward.

He covered Tachibana Kanade's mouth with his hand, picked him up, and ran into the depths of the alley.

The senior students who were with her were busy dealing with the exam questions, and no one was paying attention to Xiao Zou. Only the old lady holding vegetables by the roadside watched the whole thing in astonishment.

She immediately ran into the street and grabbed a guard wearing an elephant-trunk mask to report: "I just saw someone kidnap a child in the street! It was a dog-person, a woman!"

The guard asked sternly, "Which direction did they go?"

The Chaoyang auntie pointed and said, "Over there!"

"Alright! Guys, we've got a job!"

A guard of Ganesha smirked and shouted:

"Ooooooo! We are the Ganesha Familia! Ta-ta-ta!"

"Hoohoohoo."
