Chapter 187 - 176: Hyperion Made to Look Too Human by Lanci_1
"That’s excellent."
The president listened attentively, nodding seriously.
He was not just a leader, but also a supporter, always caring for the sentiments and growth of his members.
"I will notify the Academic Visitation Team of the Yaloran Kingdom on your behalf. It will be your responsibility tomorrow."
Monasite said.
"No problem, anything else we can help with?"
Lanci asked enthusiastically
"Asina and I have already handled half of the troublesome affairs at hand. Handing them over to you guys would be a waste of efficiency. If the visitation team gets into any new troubles, we will request your help again. As for the trivial matters, you should visit your father today, Lanci."
Monasite answered with a smile.
"You two go ahead, I’ll stay and help the president and the vice president."
Frey turned his head to the other two people by the couch and said.
He knew that Lanci was taking Hyperion to meet a mysterious woman who could protect Hyperion today.
It was a good time for them to go together.
"Thank you for your help, Frey."
Lanci and Hyperion quickly thanked Frey.
If the three of them had to act separately and ensure their safety, they could only be divided into Frey alone and the group of Lanci and Hyperion.
After chatting with Monasite and Asina, Lanci and Hyperion left the student council room, leaving it much quieter.
Asina returned to her desk and got busy. The accumulated paperwork on the table was like an ocean; she and the chairman were in for a busy couple of days. In the meantime, Monasite briefly delegated some work to Frey, who then left the student council room.
...
Frey was walking alone on the third floor of the Old Literature Building. The empty and expansive corridor echoed only with his footsteps.
However, before he reached the staircase, a familiar figure appeared.
A familiar figure appeared at the corner of the staircase. She was humming a tune cheerfully with a magic camera hung around her neck. The girl was a junior reporter who had preparatively come to the student council room. She was also their secretary, who would typically not appear in their student council.
"Uh, Frey!"
Lavisseir exclaimed in surprise,
"Frey, come on over!"
Upon spotting Frey, Lavisseir began eagerly waving him over.
Although Lanci and Hyperion had not met Lavisseir, Frey had joined earlier than both of them and had encountered Lavisseir before.
After getting acquainted with Frey, Lavisseir would frequently come to Frey’s detective agency for commissions.
"What is it?"
Frey walked over with confusion, half shading his eyes with his sunglasses. Lavisseir was indeed one of his rare clients.
"So what did the president say this time? Was there any gossip?"
Lavisseir asked with incredible eagerness.
"Nothing much, just asked Lanci to deal with Adams. Now that I remember, the chairman did tell us about the grudges between Dean Loren and Knight Juliana."
After a pause, Frey answered.
"Tell me! Tell me!"
Lavisseir was so excited that she was hopping up and down as if she was eager to savor every bit of the story.
"You absolutely cannot report it or spread it around. After all, it’s just something I heard."
Initially reluctant, Frey finally made his statement clear.
He didn’t want to reveal this at first. Still, considering that five of the six student council members knew about it, and only Lavisseir was left in the dark, it seemed as if they were excluding her.
"I, Lavisseir, am always tight-lipped."
Lavisseir patted her chest, giving her word.
"Well, it all started with the multiple fiances of Dean Loren..."
And so, Frey began his narrative.
"Uh-huh."
Lavisseir nodded vigorously as she listened.
...
Meanwhile.
In the deep autumn’s four o’clock afternoon, the blue sky turned a bit deeper, yet it stayed bright, as clean and transparent as if it were baptized by the autumn wind.
The Alchemy College region, Ichrite College Medical Center.
The Ichrite College Medical Center is a flagship hospital directly affiliated with the kingdom. It is also one of the largest healthcare providers in the Hutton Kingdom.
The hospital offers comprehensive medical services, including emergency departments, general practitioner services, specialty services, as well as research and education services.
Situated on the quiet yet convenient side of the Alchemy College, close to the main road, it is accessible to students, staff, and residents. The modern and attractive exterior housing is a multi-story glass building, where you can see the hustle and bustle inside.
During the day, sunlight illuminates the entire building, making it especially prominent against the backdrop of the blue sky. At night, the internal lighting of the hospital makes it a dazzling star in the surrounding night sky.
The two chatted as they entered the gate, coming upon a spacious and bright hall.
"I never thought I’d be in a hospital one day."
Lanci had passed by this building several times before, but this was his first time inside.
"Lanci, have you ever thought that if you were a little less capable, you could be a regular visitor here..."
Hyperion muttered under her breath.
"No way, I value my health highly, and my goal is to stay away from hospitals!"
Lanci stated triumphantly.
"Then you must be quite impressive."
Hyperion could only praise him.
At the reception desk, the staff were busy handling all sorts of queries, their demeanor consistently warm and professional.
After Lanci registered and received a visitor’s pass, they set off for the ward area upstairs.
The two walked through the tidy corridors of the hospital.
"By the way, Lanci, why did your father come to the academy? Didn’t you say he’s been doing business at the Cerryti Empire’s border?"
Hyperion asked, puzzled.
"He probably came to conduct a surprise check on my studies. I’ll definitely give him a good show."
Lanci answered with a serious look and firm conviction.
"..."
Hyperion was quite certain that Lanci’s academic performance had been very solid, solid enough to give anybody a myocardial infarction.
They chatted as they walked, and before long they arrived at the deluxe ward on the fifth floor of the Ichrite College Medical Center, where Noe was staying. After ringing the doorbell and getting Noe’s permission, they walked in.
The single-patient room had a window facing the sunniest side, allowing natural light to stream in gently. Through the window, the patient in bed could enjoy the view of the campus outside.
Noe was almost fully recovered. He did flinch, though, when he saw that the newcomer was not a doctor but Lanci.
"Father, are you feeling okay?"
Lanci asked with concern.
"..."
Noe grinded his teeth, unwilling to answer his mischievous son’s question.
Whenever he recalled those three clergies who were led astray by this brat, Noe could only make fervent pleas for forgiveness to the Goddess of Destiny.
Noe felt that as a new father, divine retribution will soon befall him.
However, noticing the classmate who had come with Lanci, Noe didn’t feel comfortable scolding Lanci in front of her.
"This is...?"
Noe’s attention was quickly diverted from Lanci to Hyperion.
He remembered the descriptions of Miss Tata given by his butler and maids - she had gray hair and golden eyes, which didn’t match the silver hair and amber eyes of the girl standing beside Lanci.
And she seemed to be around the same age as Lanci, not a few years older as Tata was.
Noe was worried that his son might be a fickle man who, after falling for Miss Tata and striving hard for her, had just moved on to another girl upon their arrival at college.
"Hyperion, my classmate, my teammate, a good partner."
Lanci took a step aside, introducing Noe to Hyperion.
"I’ve heard a lot about you from Lanci."
Hyperion bowed politely in return.
"I see."
Brief interaction and calm judgment allowed Noe to confirm that Hyperion is a good girl.
"Hyperion, I appreciate your efforts to put up with my stupid son."
"Not at all, he’s actually been taking care of me."
"You’re too modest. I can tell it must be hard to put up with this little punk."
Noe’s brief exchange with Hyperion stated that Hyperion was a good girl."
It was obvious that she was normal, unlike his son.
Their relationship was just a partnership, which Noe was temporarily reassured by.
Tata might soon be in her thirties, if Lanci were to delay this precious time and she were to remain unmarried in the end, Lanci would be somewhat to blame for this.
However, Noe would not interfere with Lanci’s love life.
It didn’t matter whether Lanci ended up liking Tata or Hyperion in the end.
As long as Lanci could be a man who was committed to the woman he loved, that was enough.
This Miss Hyperion seemed approachable, so it’s unlikely that she’s some high-class noblewoman beyond their reach. She seemed to be a good fit for their family.
Actually, Noe was rather anxious about Lanci getting too close to those Earls and Marquises’ daughters after he arrived at the Royal Capital.
Those were all big figures that a mere border merchant like them could never reach.
Noe didn’t want Lanci to get caught up in complicated power struggles, as their commoner family couldn’t withstand such turbulence.
