Chapter 194 - 183 Lanci’s Map of Yan Country is too Short_1
Adams walked in the central courtyard of the Main Building of the Sage Academy, and soon saw a familiar figure at the end.
Teacher Teresa, who had arranged to meet him, was already waiting early in the Main Building of the Sage Academy.
"Adams, please come with me. Lanci is already in the meeting room," Teresa said in her usual gentle tone.
Before Dean Loren left on a business trip, he had handed over the affair concerning the Academic Visitation Team of the Arolan Kingdom to Teacher Teresa, who was usually not too busy and was very reliable.
Furthermore, Teresa had been acquainted with Lanci since the entrance exam, and Lanci had always taken her "General Knowledge of Magic Series" seriously.
Although Loren was worried, he thought Teacher Teresa was the best choice no matter how he looked at it.
He could only hope that she could keep Lanci under control a bit.
"Thank you, Teacher Teresa."
Adams saluted the friendly Teresa and followed her.
Since coming to Ichrite Academy, he found that the students of Sage Academy were of high quality.
When he proposed a competition, the strong seniors in third grade not only had no intention of competing aggressively, but they also gave way, which made Adams feel a bit embarrassed.
However, everyone did not want him to come all this way in vain. Understanding what kind of opponent Adams wanted, they revealed "Lanci" to him.
Out of respect for the Knight’s spirit, Adams did not specially investigate his opponent’s information in Ichrite Academy before the competition, and only had a basic understanding of Lanci from the seniors at the Sage Academy.
However, considering Dean Loren’s strong opposition, he undeniably concluded that the freshman called Lanci must be the trump card of the Sage Academy.
A few minutes later.
Adams, accompanied by Teresa, arrived at a thick, heavy door at the top of the Sage Academy.
This is the large meeting room where Sage Academy faculty usually hold meetings, but it was vacant today.
"We’re here."
Teacher Teresa said with a smile, and opened the door.
What appeared in front of Adams was a spacious room dominated by white tones, like a combination of an office and a reception room. The bright and soft light gave a very harmonious atmosphere, and more than a dozen round tables surrounded the circular Magic Fluorescent Screen in the center.
Off to the side of the meeting room, in a random position, a figure was sat in the chair next to a round table, his back facing the table, as if he were admiring the campus scenery outside the floor-to-ceiling window.
Even though he was simply sitting there, Adams immediately recognized him.
That man is the center of the entire conference room, and the legendary secret weapon cultivated by Dean Loren - Lanci Welfort.
The young man in the chair quickly turned around due to Adams’s arrival. This was out of respect and politeness to his guest.
"Adams, you’re here."
Lanci said, sitting elegantly in his seat with a smile on his face, and reaching down to pet a little black cat.
This spring-like feeling left the standing Adams somewhat dumbfounded.
He never imagined that his opponent would be such an innocuous, naturally pure young man, who wouldn’t even show a hint of animosity, not even when facing his opponent.
This innocent mentality reminded Adams of their genius Cardmaker junior, Carlen.
If Lanci is also a late bloomer, then Adams would feel a little unsure of how to be assertive towards Lanci.
"You two discuss the content of the competition. We will be the witnesses."
Teacher Teresa led Adams to the round table in front of Lanci and then she sat down by her side.
Although it was not an official meeting of the Sage Academy, there were already quite a few Ichrite Academy faculty and seniors in the meeting room who would provide witness and technical support for this competition.
More than expected.
Perhaps these people were here to watch the excitement.
Teresa took a brief look at Lanci.
She has felt since this morning that Lanci seems a bit different today, but she couldn’t quite put her finger on what has changed.
That’s right.
Teresa suddenly remembered -
Student Hyperion has been taking a leave of absence recently, and Lanci, for a change, has been going solo.
Of course, Lanci now has an additional companion - a little black cat. Sometimes it sits on his hand, sometimes it clings to his shoulder, and other times it rests on his head.
Due to the lively and cute demeanor of this black cat, many curious female students from Sage Academy are tempted to pet it.
But seeing that the cat was on Lanci, they all opted to retreat instead.
As far as Teresa knew, even though quite a few female students at Sage Academy were initially interested in Lanci for his looks, demeanor and talents when he first enrolled, no one ever dared to approach him.
It’s not that Lanci lacks popularity at school now.
Instead, he is to be admired from afar but not to be touched.
Just like those students in love, as long as they are conscious, they generally wouldn’t consider theschool principal as their mate’s match..
But what’s exactly wrong with Lanci now...
"Wait a minute, Hyperion is not here..."
Teresa suddenly turned pale.
If the only normal person around Lanci was gone, then Lanci, without a reference or external conscience, might just run wild, doing whatever he pleases!
Realizing the gravity of the situation, Teresa hurriedly averted her gaze. Even though it seemed cowardly to evade, she was afraid she might also get implicated.
"Welcome to Ichrite Academy, Student Adams."
Lanci stood up, extended his hand to Adams, and said in a steady voice.
"Thank you for your warm welcome."
Adams and Lanci shook hands earnestly.
His initial impression of Lanci was very good. Lanci didn’t show any of the arrogance typical of a genius, he was modest and approachable.
The only odd thing was that Lanci did not resemble a student in his demeanor and actions, which inexplicably gave Adams the impression of interacting with a college representative on behalf of the academy for external communication.
"I am very happy to have received your invitation, but I also need to clarify beforehand that this is a friendship-first exchange, I will not see you as an enemy, and will not do anything underhanded for the sake of victory."
Lanci sincerely said to Adams.
"..."
Adams was slightly silent.
He understood Lanci’s intentions.
Even though he had to admit that Lanci was a proper and measured individual, if neither party went all-in, it would contradict the initial purpose of proposing this competition—
Trying to make up for Lady Juliana.
"We should bet on something to make this competition look more competitive and not so boring."
Adams suggested.
He believed that the audience at the school would not want to see a dull competition devoid of any sparks.
"Like what?"
Lanci’s expression was a bit troubled, but out of respect for Adams, he asked.
"If I win, can Dean Loren go to the Arolan Kingdom and apologize to Knight Juliana?"
Adams asked point-blank.
No matter whether the other side agreed or not, he first put forward the largest goal.
If the other side couldn’t manage it, then he would gradually give in later.
Just as Adams thought that Lanci certainly wouldn’t agree to this absurd proposal...
"Sure, I’ll make the decision for Loren."
Lanci stood with his hands behind his back, resembling very much like a school principal, and nodded in agreement.
All of a sudden, the entire conference room erupted in excitement.
Especially the students there who loved a good spectacle, they loved seeing Lanci stirring things up!
