Don't confiscate my identity as a human race

Chapter 224 - 213 Lanci is Always So Modest_1

The circular rug at the center of the base level is like the heart of the hall floor. Its colors are rich and harmonious, forming the totem of the sun and shining brightly under the natural light.

"Lanci, you really are a tenderhearted good person."

Carlen wiped away the tears at the corner of her eyes, and could not help but reveal a slight smile, speaking with deep feeling.

Then she looked at Aynor and bowed to him while holding her chest.

"Prince Aynor, I respect every choice you make and consider you to be a treasured friend. I hope you can forget what I just said. I don’t want to be remembered for the embarrassing scene."

"No, no, Carlen, I’m really sorry."

Aynor quickly responded.

"Well, Your Highness, you did actually stand me up."

Carlen laughed warmly, her eyes still a bit red.

"Of course."

Aynor understood that he would have to make it up to her next time.

Lanci watched with satisfaction as the two started to interact harmoniously again.

Even though Carlen was setting another trap for Aynor, this time Lanci made no move to intervene.

It would be Sofia’s homework, she had to conquer her own man.

Lanci was a teacher, not a substitute.

"...Dean Loren should be here soon."

Aynor glanced at the big clock inside the library,

"I think I should leave now, otherwise it will be awkward to meet Dean Loren later."

Aynor laughed embarrassingly.

If he left after Loren arrived, he would have to explain first what happened.

Moreover, he wanted to find Sofia now and apologize to her.

"Leave it to me."

Lanci said while looking at Aynor.

He knew Dean Loren very well, so it was better to leave everything to him.

Aynor couldn’t help but hug Lanci.

His best friend really was the most reliable.

"See you next time, Lanci, and Carlen."

In this way, Aynor happily bid them farewell.

In the main hall of the Gu Ta Library, time seemed to be properly slowed down. In the spacious space, each footstep, each cough, could find its echo and then gradually disappear under the melodious dome, swallowed by endless books and historical records.

The large windows on the walls allowed the sunlight to penetrate in without reservation, adding a transcendent tranquility to the hall.

Carlen and Lanci were not close, and the air between the two was silent for a long time after Aynor left.

It was their first time speaking to each other after meeting face-to-face today. Once the only person connecting them left, they lost their topic of conversation.

Carlen was in deep thought. She found this black-haired, green-eyed guy quite interesting.

At least he was powerful, comparable to the Saint Heir and Saintess of the Rebirth Church, and was Loren’s top disciple.

As a Sage Academy Battler who knew about Magical Engineering, she must also have a lot of speaking points with him.

Perhaps he would also have many demands on her since powerful combat professionals and powerful card makers complemented each other.

So,

When Lanci was leisurely admiring the murals in the Gu Ta Library,

"I really shouldn’t underestimate you, Lanci. So you’re looking to be alone with me?"

Carlen moved a little closer to Lanci and asked quietly.

Lanci looked at her slightly stunned, but Carlen seemed very satisfied with his naive response, and mischievously added quietly,

"But my answer is - sure."

...

At the sixth floor of the library, Sofia, who had cheered seeing Aynor leave, froze right after hearing Carlen’s words to Lanci.

So, she’s started again!

Isn’t Lanci now shooting himself in the foot?

Given Lanci’s persona, no matter how he answered this question it wouldn’t seem right. He couldn’t possibly say something impolite.

For someone like Frey, he would likely respond directly: "Woman, get lost."

But Lanci has always been courteous, sincere and gentle.

Carlen pinpointed Lanci’s character and chose to use this ambiguous and cunning probe.

The more Lanci denies, the more it seems like he’s interested in her!

Admitting it outright would be ruinous!

"Hy-per..."

Sofia anxiously looked at Hyperion, Carlen has her sights set on your Lanci.

Hyper, why don’t you confront her yourself?

However.

"That would be throwing meat into the mouth of a wolf."

Hyperion just shook his head, as if mocking Carlen’s stupidity.

Sofia: "???"

Downstairs.

Lanci listened to Carlen’s words.

Soon he regained his composure.

"That’s great, I have always heard about how of Carlen reached the Gold-level Card Maker grade in just her second year, I am no match for that. If I could be fortunate enough to hear your guidance, it would be my greatest honor."

Lanci replied with a gentle smile.

"Hehe, then just follow me later while observing, I can teach you a bit."

Carlen thought for a moment, this guy is indeed a pure-minded young man, once she figured out his character, he’s easy to control.

But this time.

Sofia, who was spying on the situation downstairs from the ledge of the sixth floor, also understood what Lanci was up to!

He might be modest with fifty percent probability.

But there’s also fifty percent chance that he’s harboring ill-intentions.

No matter which possibility it is, Carlen is in for it!

...

Meanwhile, at the entrance of Sage Academy Tower Library.

A young man with slightly tired eyes and a prominent Cross Holy Radiance on the collar of his formal attire, entered the library.

Walking down the hallway, past the counter, next to it were a row of intricately carved high-backed chairs. They echoed with the bronze-edged table nearby, on which a crystal lamp was placed. Some lamps were under half-opened books, beside which lay a few bookmarks made of orange-yellow ginkgo leaves.

"It’s a good thing that Lanci didn’t lean towards my proposal to watch with Carlen then. Although I’ll have to make time to allow him to observe later, it’s still better than letting him interact with students from the Arolan Kingdom."

As Dean Loren gazed at the scenery of the library, he thought, three students have already gone too far.

One was laid up in the hospital, one was jailed, one had transferred school.

And the one who transferred seemed to have some problem too, ever since her brother Phoenix entrusted her to me, she seems to have become overly dependent on me...

Dean Loren only felt that recent events were enough to make his scalp tingle.

Let’s stop thinking about it.

Dean Loren shook his head.

For now, Juliana is stabilised. Although it was tough, but at least she didn’t rush to Ichrite herself.

Next, we absolutely can’t lose another student.

Next to him were rows of towering oak bookshelves that reached the ceiling, neatly arranging numerous gold-trimmed books. Their letters, washed out by time, were blurring on the spine. The ancient aura was more intense than ever.

And Dean Loren’s figure was also visible from time to time between these bookshelves.

As the light in front grew brighter, crossing this book collection area led to the central hall.

The next second.

When Dean Loren arrived at the hall and saw the figure next to Carlen in the distance, his heart and lungs abruptly stopped.
