The Hero in Exile

"Teacher, we are back."

"Phil, I'm surprised you guys came back so soon."

It is also dusk, and the journey’s end is also its starting point.

From the outside, one could see that the light was still on in Principal Kaden's office, so Phil pushed the door open without hesitation. Kaden, who was still correcting documents at his desk, was surprised.

"You're not in danger, are you? I just got back not long ago and was planning to help you early tomorrow morning. I didn't expect you to come back so soon."

"There's no danger at all. We are very strong and we completed it without any obstacles."

The corners of Moran's mouth twitched. She was of little use when we fought Chimera. The biggest obstacle to our escape this time was her.

"Here's what you wanted, Principal Kedeen."

Moran no longer wanted to watch the scene of the deep affection between master and disciple, so he chose to hand over the things.

The chimera's heart was protected by magic before being put away. When Kaden opened the bag, he found it was as fresh as when he had just dug it out, except that it was no longer beating.

"Fortunately you remembered to use magic to preserve it, otherwise the effectiveness of this thing would be greatly reduced."

Kaiden nodded with satisfaction. He was very satisfied with the quality of this Chimaera core.

"Then how long will it take us to start, Principal?"

Moran can't wait to unlock the last seal and return to the demon clan to liberate them, especially that bald donkey named Vida, who must be taught a lesson.

"Tomorrow morning will be fine. I need to get these materials ready. By the way, Phil, you stay and help me."

"Ah, it's so late, and we are very tired after just coming back, how about we trouble you for a while?"

Phil asked tentatively, but he backed off the moment he met that cold gaze.

Who wants to work overtime late at night?

Phil could only complain in his heart but didn't dare to say anything, but just by looking at her expression anyone could probably tell what she was thinking.

"Then Phil, Principal Kaiden, let's go back first. Phil, thank you for taking care of me overtime." Lingyu couldn't ask to do it tomorrow as the matter was important. After all, the church had been making moves, and she would have to find a chance to compensate Phil next time.

It was completely dark when the two came out, but the road was not dark.

The flowers in the magic academy are cultivated after magical evolution, so there is no need to worry about them withering, and there is still a faint light to guide the way at night.

The two of them walked on the path back to the dormitory. This scene had a unique flavor. At least Lingyu thought it was quite romantic.

As for Moran, Lingyu saw him with his hands in his pockets and a look of aloofness on his face. He didn't seem to have anything to do with romance, but it was fine as long as he was the one walking with her on this path.

"Ha~hu~"

Lingyu took a deep breath and Moran noticed.

Facing Moran's questioning eyes, he replied: "Nothing, I just feel that everything is finally coming to an end. The bumpy and difficult journey has finally paid off."

"Yeah, everything can be solved quickly and easily once the power is back, but I have to beat up that old guy Vader before it's over."

"Although it is wrong to bully the elderly, you must take me with you."

The two looked at each other and were amused by each other's immature side. Indeed, the previous pressure seemed to have disappeared completely.

Until their laughter was interrupted.

"Why are you laughing so loudly? Are you going to let me sleep?"

This made the two of them shut up immediately.

With a good mood, they walked to the fork in the road between the male and female dormitories and had to separate again. Although it was only one night, Moran thought that he would only sleep with Lingyu for one day anyway.

But I thought about the gossip that the demon clan would spread in the future: Shocking! The devil actually broke into the female dormitory at night. Is this a distortion of the devil's nature or a loss of morality?

Forget it.

"By the way Moran, I have something for you, come over here."

Moran was a little confused. How could he not know what Lingyu had? But he still did what Lingyu said.

Just as I got close, I felt a cool and soft touch on my lips, but by the time I reacted, it had disappeared.

"Lingyu, you..."

When I looked at Lingyu, she had already walked a few steps towards the dormitory without looking back.

"I'm just in a good mood today and I want to reward you. If I don't have anything else to give you, just give this to you first and don't think too much."

Moran smiled bitterly but of course did not expose her. The girl's face turned so red.

"Thank you, my dear wife. One more thing. I like anything you give me."

"fool."

After saying this, Lingyu left without looking back.

Moran looked at Lingyu's back as she was about to disappear into the darkness before walking towards his dormitory, feeling very happy.

After returning to the dormitory, Lingyu quickly closed the door and buried her head in the pillow.

Well, I have to retract my previous impression. He is not a piece of wood that doesn't understand romance. His strong beating heart is the best proof of this.

……

Considering that there were several girls in the dormitory, Moran opened and closed the door very quietly, but as soon as he entered, he heard movement on the fat man's bed.

"Brother, you are finally back."

"It's so late, why aren't you asleep yet?"

"I get angry when you say that. Just now there was a couple who were up late at night laughing and woke me up."

……

"Brother, why don't you speak?"
