Firefly Journey

Cassius was a man of his word; a week meant a week, and he wouldn't be back to teach until next Monday. Taking advantage of the weekend, Lin Yuanran took the bus to the Neon Guild headquarters.

The wind chimes might be helpful for the guild in their investigation.

If it really works, Lin Yuanran will get a large share of the commission. He is in dire financial straits and will not let go of any opportunity to make money.

Even if it doesn't help, you can still check the guild to see if there are any short-term tasks, such as helping the employer find a cat. Although it's only a few dozen copper coins, every little bit helps, right?

As for the tasks issued by the academy, he didn't think about them for the time being. As a Level 1 Awakener, he had no way of accepting them. He would consider them after Cassius returned and he tried to break through.

Lin Yuanran entered the guild, asked the logistics staff for a cup of sweet tea, and knocked on the door of the guild leader's office.

"Come in."

Pushing open the door, Lin Yuanran was a little surprised, because the boar-man Yale was sitting opposite the president, looking completely unharmed, without showing any signs of injury.

"I..." Lin Yuanran was about to speak when Tong En said, "Are you curious about his injuries?"

"After all, it was a work injury. I had a healer examine him and performed a special ritual, and that's how you ended up looking like this."

Tong En asked and answered himself, while glancing at the sweet tea in Lin Yuanran's hand, thinking to himself that young people really have no resistance to this, and so do I.

"I'm here to report on the assassination of Mr. Harry," Lin Yuanran said.

Tong En's spirits lifted. These past few days, she had mobilized most of the guild's veteran members, launching a full-scale attack, yet they hadn't found a single clue. This newcomer, however, had a lead; she must have learned something from St. Louis Academy…

Marquis Knox was no ordinary man; the Duchy and the Church would certainly investigate his death thoroughly. Given Ario's precarious position, it wasn't surprising that he overheard some details. Tong En was completely unaware that Lin Yuanran had heard about it from the Black Knight; of course, Lin Yuanran wouldn't reveal his source.

Lin Yuanran recounted everything he had heard from the Black Knight to his boss in detail.

"Yes, your information is very useful. If we really find the murderer, the reward will definitely be generous," Tong En said gently.

Lin Yuanran chuckled softly, then turned to Yale and asked, "Dude, are you all set now?"

"Fang" Yale Pound laughed and said, "It's alright!"

Seemingly afraid that Lin Yuanran wouldn't believe him, he even raised his thick arm, showing off the muscles on it, which reassured Lin Yuanran.

Tong En said, "Ever since Yale was injured, he has realized the power of superhuman beings and wanted to become one of us, but he has only average talent and can only barely achieve this through drugs."

After much thought, I realized that the only suitable professions for the 'Boarman' race are those in the Fighting Arena, but I don't have the recipe for the Guiding Potion.

Since you're here today, the St. Louis College library has all sorts of extraordinary 'prescriptions'. Could you copy one down?

The price is negotiable, one gold coin, paid by the guild. This is a reward for outstanding members who have contributed significantly to the guild.

An extraordinary prescription? Lin Yuanran's mind raced; he had actually seen one before!

When I went to the library to look for records related to space mages and summoners, I randomly flipped through a book that contained the recipe for the "King Kong" guide to the Fighting Arena profession. I only glanced at it briefly and didn't remember the whole thing.

However, Lin Yuanran was in a bit of a dilemma. It was easy to get the items, but countries have national laws and schools have school rules. St. Louis College stipulated that all contents in the library must not be leaked. Violators would be expelled at the very least, and imprisoned in the Vatican's Eternal Night Prison for life at the worst.

It's probably not worth it for just one gold coin...

Seeing Lin Yuanran hesitate, Yale showed a disappointed expression, while Tong En smiled and coaxed him gently: "I know the regulations of St. Louis, but the other church professions it has are not unique in the world. As long as you don't say it and I don't say it, and no one says it, who will know where they come from? For the physique of the boar people, becoming 'King Kong' is very reasonable."

I'll arrange for Yale to take a few days on a business trip, saying it's to Hellock. Don't worry, no one will suspect you.

The Radiant City of Herokei, the capital of the Debasa Empire, is also the largest gathering place for the followers of the God of War.

Lin Yuanran admitted that he was attracted to Yale, but the last shred of morality still struggled in his mind. Yale delivered the fatal blow.

Suddenly, the boar-man broke down in tears, sobbing uncontrollably. "Ario! Don't worry about my troubles. Someone like me is used to danger. Even if I end up dead in the street, it doesn't matter. It's just a pity for my beautiful wife who weighs over 200 pounds and my three-year-old son who weighs only 90 pounds..."

Lin Yuanran was already looking for a reason to convince himself, but now that's it. Yale is a place where people are constantly on the edge of danger, and who knows when something might happen to him. If the pillar of the family falls, how desperate will the family be?

I'm not doing this for the money; I'm doing it to save a family.

I believe the great sun god Julius will forgive me.

He is a benevolent deity who would never allow any tragedy to occur on the land he protects.

"May light be with Yale, and may the sun's light never be extinguished!" Lin Yuanran prayed silently before happily agreeing and downing the sweet tea in one gulp.

After chatting for a few more minutes, Lin Yuanran went to check out the task posting area. There weren't any valuable tasks; most were ordinary commissions, ranging from a few dozen copper coins to a few silver coins.

Lin Yuanran chose the simplest option: the next day, he would go to the newly opened shop of a wealthy merchant to oversee operations, which meant working as a security guard.

There wasn't much money, the shop was an ordinary shop, and the merchant was an ordinary merchant. Lin Yuanran just needed to make an appearance.

Weekends are spent working.

……

Monday, the sun rises.

Because Cassius was returning today, Lin Yuanran arrived twenty minutes early, only to be surprised by what he saw.

This time, he was actually the last one to arrive.

It makes sense, yet it doesn't quite make sense. So, when he wasn't around, you were all so carefree, but as soon as he came back, you all wilted?

The Crown Prince of Great Chu, whom I hadn't seen for a week, looked like a sunflower that had been pollinated but was now listless, with his head down, not at all spirited, and yawning constantly.

Everyone was sitting in their seats, engrossed in their books. At first glance, Lin Yuanran even wondered if he had gone to the wrong classroom.

Lin Yuanran silently walked to the seat he had been sitting in for a week and pretended to read a book, but in fact he was completely distracted.

As soon as class started, Cassius Bello appeared at the door on time. He walked in without any textbooks, because those things were already imprinted in his mind.

"How was your week? Anything that made you happy?" he asked.

Everyone knows that your passing is the happiest thing, but no one dares to say it; there is only silence.

Sabrina was the class monitor, and she couldn't remain silent while others were. She raised her hand, stood up, and spoke in a very official manner: "Nothing special has happened. If I had to say, it would be that there is a new student."

In fact, Cassius has not been a teacher for very long; he graduated from the academy three years ago and seamlessly transitioned into becoming a class tutor.

His first two students were Mirashu and Sabrina. Mirashu was the oldest of all his students, despite his short stature and small build.

Sabrina, on the other hand, was sent here by her family because she was too talented and was not old enough to attend St. Louis Academy.

Fengling and the others came later.

Surprisingly, no students from Class 29 have graduated in the past three years.

The college's graduation system is entirely determined by the class teacher. If he thinks you're ready, he'll give you a graduation exam. If you pass, you pass; if you don't, you can continue studying in the college.

However, given their abilities, they could have graduated ten times over in any other class in the academy. Perhaps it was because Cassius had high standards that he never set a graduation exam.

The wise and virtuous teacher looked at Lin Yuanran: "I presume you are already familiar with them, so we will skip the self-introduction. In short, welcome to Class 29."
