Teyvat Survival Guide

Chapter 44: Wind Slime Sent to School

After dealing with the magic flower, everyone adjusted their state and continued to head towards the camp at the foot of the mountain.

The journey was safe and sound, as if all the misfortunes along the way had disappeared by defeating the magic flower.

However, even if the weather was calm, by the time everyone returned to the camp at the foot of the mountain, the sky was already full of bright moon and shining stars.

As soon as they arrived at the camp, Eula, Amber, and Bennett sighed at the warm firelight.

After being trapped in the snowy mountains for so many days, we finally got out!

Eula asked Amber about her physical condition with concern and wanted to go up and check on her.

Amber had no choice but to put Samuel down in her arms and let her check in order to make her feel at ease.

"Why is there such a big wound? Was it caused by the vine of that 'flower'?" Eula asked anxiously.

"Okay, I'm fine. I've healed on the way."

"That won't work either. I need to take you to get bandaged right away!"

Samuel watched their intimate interaction and glanced at Teacher Albedo beside him, thinking he was keeping calm.

Then he saw Teacher Albedo turn his head and meet his gaze.

"The amplitude of human limb movement is much larger than that of slime." Albedo explained, "You always looked at me secretly in this kind of situation before. Is there any deep meaning?"

Samuel's cheeks felt a little hot from what he said, and he lowered his head in shame.

Damn, I didn’t expect that Teacher Albedo had already discovered it!

Bennett said goodbye to everyone and said he would do his best to help Mr. Seleus.

Seeing him walking further and further away, Amber felt a little dizzy and held her forehead with her hand.

"It feels like a lot of things happened today. Once I relax, I feel so tired..." she said weakly.

Youla nodded quickly: "Well, go bandage your wound first, and then have a good rest."

"What about you, Eula?"

"I... I also want to rest for a while, but there is something else that needs to be dealt with right now." Eula shifted her gaze to Samuel next to Albedo.

Samuel: ...?

Eula looked up at Albedo: "Albedo, you said that Samuel's personality is like a blank sheet of paper now, right?"

"Yes, his current state is similar to that of a real child." Albedo nodded, "His personality and the way he behaves in the future will be affected by the surrounding environment."

Eula rubbed her chin and lowered her head to think for a while, then looked up at Albedo again.

"Can you take responsibility for your words and actions?" she asked.

"Okay." Albedo said without hesitation.

Seeing him nod, Eula's expression relaxed.

She looked at the traveler and Paimon beside her:

“Well, then the Honorary Knight and Paimon will serve as witnesses.

"I agree that Samuel can enter Mondstadt, but he must hide his identity and receive a formal education in the Knights of Favonius."

Samuel blinked and said nothing.

Amber on the other side nodded quickly after hearing this: "I agree!"

In this way, Xiaofeng can stay in the Knights of Favonius forever? Maybe there will be many opportunities to meet in the future!

Sora and Albedo both nodded in agreement.

"Are you... looking for a school for Xiaofeng?" Paimon hesitated for a while, then said happily, "That's great. I hope the Knights of Favonius can teach him how to be a good man!"

She put her hands on her hips, looking resentful, just like a shrew.

Samuel: "..."

I always feel that Paimeng has something else to say.

Then, the wind bullet gently hit Paimon's head.

“Ouch, it hurts, it hurts—!” Paimon covered his head and shamelessly ran to complain, “Wuwuwuwu, Traveler, he bullied me!”

Kong held his forehead helplessly: "Why are you arguing with Samuel..."

Eula couldn't help but laugh softly at this and looked at Samuel standing next to her.

"What do you think?" she inquired.

The white-haired boy blinked his eyes, and the wind slowly blew up his dark grey scarf. He appeared calm on the surface, but his whole person was the word “steady” in capital letters.

But at this moment, Samuel's heart...

...@%￥! I'm so impressed! How come I can't escape the fear of being controlled by books even after traveling through time?!

I don't want to go to school, I want to go home——

No, if I go home, I still have to go to school...

Seeing that he didn't respond, Amber thought he didn't quite understand, so she patiently explained:

"It means that you will be sent to play with some human children and learn some tricks."

"By the way, you can also experience the feeling of being a human being." She tilted her head, thinking that what she said must be very tempting to Samuel, and smiled enthusiastically, "How about it? Doesn't it sound interesting?"

How could Samuel, who had been poisoned by books for more than ten years, not understand?

How can you whitewash the evil textbook education like this!

But even though Samuel complained in his heart that he didn't want to study, he actually just didn't want to go back to the exam-oriented education that was prevalent in his senior year of high school.

The knowledge of the continent of Teyvat is still very interesting, such as the alchemy he learned from teacher Albedo.

According to Eula, if he did not receive an education, he would not be allowed into the settlement - that is, the part of Mondstadt where people live.

Although I could sneak in, why bother?

And if you don't study, where do you go? Go on an adventure?

He is now strong enough to protect himself, but as a human being he still hopes to blend in with the crowd.

After all, he grew up among the crowd.

And we have to make money. How can we earn Mora for Lord Barbatos if we keep exploring in the wild?

Lord Barbatos also told him to build a good relationship with Master Diluk.

With his appearance and age, even if he goes to school now, he should be a kindergartener, right? That seems pretty good...

Well, at least there is definitely a novice protection period in the early stages.

Samuel thought so and finally nodded.

Seeing that he agreed, Eula turned to Sora and said:

“Traveler, please don’t publicize this matter for now.

"If anyone asks, just say that I rescued Samuel from a group of monsters in the wild."

Paimon was a little curious and confused: "Why do you say that?"

Albedo patiently explained: "Different people have different opinions on the matter of monsters transforming into humans.

"But in the end, there is only one core question: 'Can a person who has transformed from a monster be called a human being?'"

Sora thought for a while and asked, "Are you afraid of causing panic among the people in the city?"

Eula nodded: "Yes, some people are afraid of monsters because they may have experienced being hurt by monsters."

"They are not like us. They know that Samuel would not hurt anyone." She added, looking at the white-haired boy.

Samuel's blue eyes blinked.

He already had a strong sense of the element of wind, and suddenly he discovered that the wind around him seemed to tremble.

…Lord Barbatos is eavesdropping?

Paimeng listened and nodded in sudden realization.

After explaining all this, Eula saw that everyone agreed, so she happily made the decision.

Then she took Amber and said she was going to get bandaged and treated and then rest for a while, and said goodbye to everyone.

Watching Eula supporting Amber and gradually leaving, Paimon sighed:

"The curse that prevented these guys from coming down the mountain has finally been broken."

"It feels like we've accomplished something big. Besides, the task Wendy assigned to us has also been completed. Shall we go and report to him?" she suggested.

Paimon waited for a while, but didn't hear the traveler respond to her, so she turned her head in confusion.

Then I saw Sora looking at Samuel, Samuel looking at Sora, and Albedo looking at both of them, all in silence.

"Uh...why are you just looking at each other without saying anything?" Paimon felt that this scene seemed familiar.

Samuel spoke first: "Uh...hi."

Sora responded, "...Hi."

Paimon: ...?

"Why is there an indescribable feeling around you?" Paimon said in confusion, then rubbed his arms, "Eh... I have goose bumps."

Sora shook his head. "Sorry, I didn't hear you. What did you say?"

Paimon repeated, "I mean, let's go report the situation to Wendy."

"Okay." Kong agreed, and then he looked at Albedo, "Albedo, wait a moment."

Samuel suddenly thought of a sentence:

I'm going to buy some oranges. You stay here and don't move around.
