Has this guy learned to preemptively defend himself and block any possible compliments he might receive after being successfully "provoked" by me several times?
Recognize that it's a matter of personal feelings, and offer protection as an option.
Losses are losses.
Kenneth wouldn't care.
But he didn't say he didn't want compensation.
"Given your current financial situation, it seems you can only pay off your debts physically—by marrying that distant niece I mentioned to you, Reines Archizolti, and becoming an 'El-Melloi' son-in-law, Mr. Lucan."
See the picture poorly.
Kenneth El-Melloi Archibald spoke with a piercing gaze.
Lu Kang looked at him as if he were a pimp on the street!
Chapter 83 Lorelei: I'm here to teach a class, what are you going to do?
All that can be said is that Lemon Head is still one of the contemporary monarchs of the Magic Association and the youngest 'academic leader' within the Clock Tower. He is not lacking in political skills, even though Lu Kang thinks he is still a bit naive. But in essence, the so-called methods themselves are neither mature nor naive; effectiveness is the only true measure.
What Kenneth truly lacked was never the means, but the 'strength'.
At least in Lu Kang's eyes, Kenneth El-Melloi Archibald, who currently only has a color rank and may have a great chance of reaching the 'Grand Rank' in the future—but is ultimately just someone with a chance—is still lacking.
Although such skill is more than enough in the modern world of magic.
...
"So that's why you still come to class?"
The next day.
Or perhaps it should be called the fourth day after Lu Kang awakened the mental magic imprint of Luvist's 'inheritance'.
Located inside Big Ben in the suburbs of London, shrouded by layers of mysterious barriers that prevent ordinary people from setting foot inside the Mage's Association headquarters—the Clock Tower—this is the interior of the Spellcasting Department's main classroom, one of the five large classrooms exclusively designated by the Spellcasting Department, which is dominated by the Mineral Department under the current Lord El-Melloi and thus possesses the second largest aristocratic faction after Bartholomew and Transberio.
The boy, with his smooth, shoulder-length hair and delicate features that made him almost androgynous, looked at his 'deskmate,' Lu Kang, a handsome and upright seventeen-year-old who had arrived earlier than him, and couldn't help but feel speechless.
He repeated, as if to confirm, "You mean, yesterday you experienced another 'bloodline awakening,' and while your magic circuits surged again, you also... you also destroyed Kenneth's mansion?"
The second awakening of his bloodline was enough to leave Weber Velvet speechless at Lu Kang's transformation.
Three awakenings... In the entire mystical world, this is definitely unique, isn't it?
"You bastard... is this the legacy of that person?"
Although he longed to express his unwavering admiration and worship for 'Luvist', he ultimately held back, considering Lu Kang's many enemies and his own safety, and changed his words instead.
Hearing this guy start rambling on as usual, Lu Kang immediately interrupted him, saying bluntly, "Yes, that's it."
"That's why I'm here for classes—anyway, the mysterious magic that existed in that mansion has been destroyed, so staying inside is no different from staying anywhere else."
"Moreover, as you can see, I am now burdened with a lot of debt."
"So going forward, I will participate in every course as the 'teaching assistant' to Lord El-Melloi and Kenneth, a first-level lecturer in the Conjuration Department."
"And in doing so, we will secretly enforce strict discipline and use this to repay our debts!"
This is why Lu Kang arrived at the classroom early the next morning after the simulation ended—he arrived even earlier than Webber, who, despite his limited talent, still possessed boundless enthusiasm for magic and was extremely diligent.
In the end, he still did not agree to Kenneth's suggestion to sacrifice his own 'happiness' to pay off the debt.
In any case, four-year-old Reines is way too young!
And such a small amount of debt.
For him, it wasn't worth it.
However, there are many things that cannot be said openly to Kenneth, and even with the El-Melloi pact, true trust has not yet been established.
So this is the only way for now.
Looking at Lu Kang's outstretched hands and the 'evaluation form' on his desk, Weber had a thousand words stuck in his throat and truly shut his mouth.
Between these words and actions, the once empty and deserted classroom of the Spirit Summoning Department gradually filled up with people.
Amidst this casual, rambling conversation, the large classroom was almost completely filled with people.
Looking at this scene, Lu Kang, who was in the back row, instinctively fell asleep. He sensed the simulator in his mind again, which was still in a cooling-off state, and the feedback he received was similar to but not exactly the same as after the last simulation.
[I've let him go, please behave yourself]
Information has emerged from the emulator operating system that produces the 'dream spirit' pieced together from his dreams... which can also be called the 'emulator AI'.
Lu Kang didn't pay any attention.
after all.
[Cooldown: 15 days 11 hours... (Energy temporarily depleted, cooldown time extended)]
A full sixteen days of cooling!
All I can say is that the foundation I built during this simulation in France was too high.
The 'mystery' of their return is too heavy a burden.
The divine body, accompanied by a triple cycle, was almost equivalent to a triple 'Grand Foundation', and was immediately silenced by the simulator!
It's only natural that the cooling time was several times longer than last time.
Just right.
He can also take this opportunity to deal with some 'real-world' matters.
"Huh? Wait, what's that...?"
at this time.
Weber's sudden gasp brought Lu Kang back to his senses from exploring the simulator's reaction.
He opened his eyes, which he had unconsciously closed, and looked in the direction of the sound. He saw a serious and even stern atmosphere in the entire classroom of the Spirit Descent Academy, as if they were facing a formidable enemy. Some students even stood up abruptly, their trembling legs giving off a somewhat comical feeling.
But no one at the scene found it funny.
No one would find it strange to be afraid of someone who suddenly appears at this moment.
No need to even think about it.
Lu Kang immediately knew who had arrived.
His godlike physical perception unfolded instantly.
It was also within the perspective of the mind magic he instantly activated.
"—Lu Kang, run!"
Weber suddenly stood up, blocking Lu Kang's seat and also blocking the path of the light-footed figure who walked into the large classroom, ascended the stairs, and approached them.
Lu Kang raised his eyes.
The figure paused between the aisles, several rows of seats away.
Countless figures retreated, some even avoiding eye contact.
Weber mustered his courage, but his face was still filled with terror...
"meet again."
Lu Kang sat up from his dozing position, leaned back in his chair, and greeted her: "Lorelei Barthemello... Oh, you haven't taken on the surname 'Barthemello' yet."
"So should I just call you Lorelei?"
Yes.
The newcomer was slender and tall, with long, reddish-brown hair tied up in a bun that swayed with her steps. Strands of hair parted in front of her forehead, revealing a smooth forehead and slightly upturned almond-shaped eyes. Her features below were delicate yet slightly sharp. Her slender neck was taut at the top by buttons, and a beige robe cinched her waist, making her chest bulge slightly. The hem of the robe also revealed her long, slender, and shapely legs.
This was a girl who should have been very beautiful, but her overly sharp temperament caused her to lose her beauty, leaving her only with an 'overbearing aura'.
This is a noble among nobles, who, even when walking on the street, still give people the feeling of walking on clouds.
She was the one who approached El-Melloi's mansion.
Lorelei, who had met Lu Kang once, had not yet inherited the name of her ancestor.
"Call me whatever you like."
She said, "But I'm here to attend class."
"You, step aside! Everyone else, get off!"
She pointed at Weber and said this.
These words startled and frightened the students who arrived in the large classroom. Although Lorelei was still a student of the Clock Tower's Law and Politics Department, the department was now defunct and no longer taught classes. It existed more as a student management organization, and its students participated directly in the hunting of magical heretics under the command of Monarch Barthez. It would be more appropriate to call it the "Law and Politics Bureau" than the Law and Politics Department.
Law and political science students never need to attend classes, nor do they ever do.
Let alone the self-important Lorelei?
It should be noted that although he has not yet officially taken over the Barthemello surname and become the new monarch of the Department of Law and Politics, everyone knows that the Barthemello who appears before the world, even if he has not reached his peak, must already be perfect.
And now.
Since she's coming to class?
The courses in the Spirit Summoning Department?
That being said.
“Your attitude doesn’t look like you’re here to class at all, Lorelei.” Lu Kang opened his eyes wide and regained his normal, clear-headed appearance. “You’re more imposing than me, the lecturer and teaching assistant.”
He raised his hand and placed it on the shoulder of Weber, who was trembling with fear after Barthezmello's finger touched him, and gently pressed him back into his seat.
Then he looked at Lorelei.
He held up the 'evaluation form' given to him by Kenneth with his other hand—the 'power' granted to him in the classroom by the lecturer.
"No matter what, you shouldn't be the one giving orders, should you?"
Lorelei remained somewhat silent.
The people around looked at each other in confusion.
Amidst the initial surprise and uncertainty, Lu Kang said, "Weber, please return to your original seat."
"Everyone else just goes to do what they're supposed to do, and Instructor Kenneth will be here soon."
"As for you, you can sit wherever you want. The large lecture hall of the Department of Spirit Conjuring welcomes anyone, but even the Department of Law and Politics doesn't have the right to disrupt the large lecture hall—doesn't it?"
They heard the young man from the third-generation magician family, who had previously been praised by Kenneth, speak like this.
They also saw that the high and mighty Lorelei actually nodded in silence.
They saw it as if they were witnessing a high and mighty queen falling to the dust.
They were surprised, astonished, and utterly astonished.
Chapter 84 The Dragon Hidden in Albion
However, Lorelei eventually sat down next to Lucan—on the other side of Lucan, unlike Weber.
Waver also fled immediately, unable to withstand the relentless bombardment of the low-pressure atmosphere emanating from the future queen of the Clock Tower.
However, the scene where Lu Kang forced Lorelei to nod still caused a huge commotion in the large classroom. Even after Kenneth arrived to teach, people would still occasionally turn around and glance at them out of the corner of their eyes.
So the entire class was filled with Kenneth's sarcasm, which was even more biting than usual.
Thus, under the murderous gaze of Lemon Head and the overwhelming low-pressure bombardment of Lorelei, all the students suffered terribly.
Lu Kang, who was truly caught in the middle, remained leisurely and completely ignored the strange environment in the large classroom. He held the evaluation form given to him by Kenneth and quickly wrote down a lot of rambling entries. Lorelei next to him couldn't stand it anymore and took the evaluation form from him and began to write it down carefully according to the format.
As the heir of the Barthelon family, Lorelei is undoubtedly a well-rounded all-rounder.
Looking at the flowing ink under the girl's pen, and at Kenneth's murderous yet helpless gaze, one can't help but marvel.
But like everyone else around him, he didn't fully understand Lorelei's purpose in being there.
It can't really be as she said before.
So that you can defeat your 'grown' self in the future with dignity, and thus come to protect yourself?
He did not agree to join the Barthelo family!
Fortunately, Lu Kang asks questions whenever he thinks of them, and he's never been one to solve riddles.
