Seeing that she couldn't break free from Mei's grasp, Yuno had no choice but to hurriedly say goodbye to Luo Chen and follow Mei away.

"Well, goodbye."

Watching the two figures disappear into the distance, Luo Chen couldn't help but sigh.

"It's difficult!"

Chapter 16 Unexpected Visitor

Luo Chen spent more than a month peacefully in St. Freya. He spent his days either in class or resting, and occasionally went to Mei's dormitory for a meal. He couldn't have been more comfortable.

Until one morning

Hearing the phone ringing in his ear, Luo Chen opened his eyes, still sleepy, and pulled his phone out from under his pillow. He answered the call, turned on speakerphone, and asked...

"Who?"

"Luo Chen, it's me."

"Oh, it's Aunt Theresa. What's wrong?"

Upon hearing Theresa's voice, Luo Chen said weakly.

"It's already past nine o'clock, why are you still sleeping?"

Theresa could tell from Luo Chen's tone that he had just woken up, and her brows furrowed slightly.

"Isn't it the weekend now?"

As he spoke, Luo Chen sat up and patted his face to try and clear his head.

"So, Aunt Theresa, is there something you need from me?"

"Here's the thing, our academy is holding an exam tomorrow, and the Destiny Headquarters is sending specialists to be examiners, so I've decided to have you receive them."

"why me?"

Luo Chen asked with some confusion, then something suddenly occurred to him, startling him awake.

"Um, Aunt Theresa, it can't be..."

You guessed right.

Theresa's cheerful voice came from the phone, but for Luo Chen, it was undoubtedly a death sentence.

"The first snow is coming, and so is Bianca."

"What?"

Luo Chen jumped out of bed, fell to the floor, then got up, grabbed his phone, and said, "Aunt Theresa, you're not lying to me, are you?"

"They'll arrive in half an hour, believe it or not. Anyway, I've already told Chuxue that the job of picking them up has been handed over to you. If she doesn't see you by then, she'll have to bear all the consequences."

After saying that, Theresa hung up the phone, leaving Luo Chen alone in the room howling.

"Oh no! I haven't contacted them for over a month. Is Aunt Chuxue going to kill me?!"

While rummaging through drawers and closets looking for clothes, Luo Chen complained, "It's one thing for Auntie to come, but why does Bianca have to come too! This isn't right!"

After spending about ten minutes tidying everything up, Luo Chen hurriedly went downstairs, causing Walter, who was sitting on the sofa reading a newspaper, to look up at him curiously and ask...

"Luo Chen, what are you rushing off to?"

"Professor Walter, two examiners have arrived from the Schicksal headquarters. Dean Theresa asked me to pick them up at the airport."

"I see."

Walter said calmly, putting down his newspaper and pointing to the breakfast on the table.

"I made breakfast, you can eat first before you go."

"Thank you, teacher."

Luo Chen casually picked up a sandwich from the plate and said sincerely, "But I really don't have time, so I'll be going now. Goodbye, teacher."

"Goodbye."

After Luo Chen left, Walter sat alone on the sofa, stroking his chin and muttering to himself, "People from Schicksal headquarters? What does Otto want now?"

……

Santa Freya Airport

Looking at Himeko and the other dozen or so staff members not far away, Luo Chen sighed with relief that he had finally caught up, and then greeted Himeko.

"Good morning, Himeko-sensei."

Good morning, little one.

Himeko responded, then put her arm around Luo Chen's shoulder and laughed, "Theresa already told me that you'll be in charge of entertaining all the guests this time; I'm just here to run errands."

"I don't want to either!"

Luo Chen complained to Ji Zi with a long face.

"If I don't come, Aunt Chuxue will skin me alive!"

"Is it as terrifying as you say? I've met that senior before, and she seemed quite gentle."

"That was for you guys, but for me, she would pin me to the ground and beat me every single day!"

Seeing Luo Chen's lifeless expression, Ji Zi comforted him, saying, "Then good luck to you."

"hehe."

Not long after, a warship docked at St. Freya's airport. Two people slowly disembarked from the bridge. The blue-haired woman on the left waved to Luo Chen as soon as she saw him, while the woman on the right walked down expressionlessly.

"Long time no see, Xiao Chen!"

As soon as they stepped off the bridge, Kiyono Hatsuyuki hugged Luo Chen and began frantically stroking his head.

"Um, Aunt Chuxue, it's been a long time."

Luo Chen felt very uncomfortable being patted on the head by someone shorter than him, but he had no choice but to endure it.

"Long time no see, Head!"

Suddenly, Kiyono Hatsuyuki kicked Luo Chen away, and under his astonished gaze, angrily said...

"You rascal, you didn't even tell us after Theresa rescued you. If Theresa hadn't informed me, we would have all rushed over."

As she spoke, Qingye Chuxue hugged Luo Chen again, patted his back, and said...

"It's okay."

"Um, um, I'm sorry."

As soon as Luo Chen finished apologizing, Qingye Chuxue let go of him, then took Bianca's hand and said, "Bianca, weren't you very worried about Xiao Chen back then? Why are you so quiet now?"

As she spoke, Qingye Chuxue pushed her in front of Luo Chen and patted her back encouragingly.

"Um, it's been a long time."

Seeing that Bianca seemed hesitant to speak, Luo Chen waved to her.

"It's only been four years, how did you grow up so fast?"

"Some unexpected things happened."

Bianca was about to explain the reason, but then he remembered that there were many secrets involved, so he covered it up.

"Alright, standing here isn't going to help. Let's go to the headmaster first."

As Luo Chen spoke, he turned to look at Ji Zi. After she nodded, he led the two away.

……

"Theresa!"

Standing in front of Theresa's office, Luo Chen looked at Kiyono Hatsuyuki, who had kicked the door open, and was somewhat speechless.

"hiss……"

The sound of books being torn came from the office, and Luo Chen knew that another Houmu comic had been destroyed. He couldn't help but chuckle.

"what are you laughing at?"

Bianca looked at Luo Chen and asked expressionlessly.

"nothing."

Luo Chen knew that if Bianca found out that Theresa was slacking off again, she would inevitably get another lecture.

"Come on, let's go in too."

"Ah."

"Auntie Chuxue, where are you?"

As soon as Luo Chen entered, he saw Qingye Chuxue sitting in Theresa's seat, hugging Theresa and rubbing her head.

"Um, you two go ahead with your work, I'm leaving."

As he spoke, Luo Chen prepared to run away, but Theresa called him back.

"Luo Chen! I told you to pick someone up, why did you come here!"

"What? Little Theresa doesn't want to see me?"
