Chapter 141 Lanqi's Troubles

Lanqi and Hyperion sat in the Magic Engineering Institute Dean's office, chatting leisurely with Professor Boraao for quite some time.

After learning their purpose, Boraao quickly approved their return to school and unfroze their Shadow World Challenge licenses.

"Loren is busier than ever. Recently, rumors have even spread around the school that he's secretly plotting many things. Ridiculous. Even though Grand Priest Loren is already someone who rarely shows his face to most students, he has always been upright. You students who see him often should know that better than anyone."

Professor Boraao shook his head and sighed.

These students had probably read too many storybooks, always fantasizing that the gentle and easy-going Loren would one day suddenly transform into the most oppressive ultimate villain.

"Of course, his absence also increases my workload."

Many tasks that require the Sage Institute Dean's authority to approve can only be reviewed by Boraao, the Magic Engineering Institute Dean, in Loren's absence.

"Earlier, I heard from the students of the Yaroran Kingdom academic visiting team that Iketerite Academy is the harshest when it comes to turning on its own people. I didn't quite believe it then, but it's true. But why doesn't anyone talk about me?"

Lanqi asked curiously.

He always felt that the students around him were very respectful to him. He had basically never encountered the classic plot of storybooks - taunts and mockery.

Hyperion, on the other hand, encountered it more often.

So she was more like the protagonist, and he was probably just a supporting character by her side.

"..."

Professor Boraao picked up his teacup, absentmindedly glanced at the rising sun outside the window.

His old experimental workshop was just downstairs from the student council office, and he often heard about the many good deeds Lanqi had done when mediating conflicts.

Enough to make a season of campus episodes.

"…Everyone is young and doesn't really want to go to jail."

Hyperion muttered softly.

"But, isn't it the right thing to do to send those who try to offend the Duchess to prison or give them corresponding punishment?"

Lanqi tilted his head.

"Ugh."

Hyperion originally wanted to refute Lanqi, but when she thought that the Duchess referred to herself, she couldn't say anything.

To be honest, Hyperion felt a secret joy in her heart every time someone helped her take revenge, as if it was her demonic instinct. But she didn't dare to think too much, because that would really make her look like a villainous young lady, and her merits would be greatly reduced.

"..."

The Magic Engineering Institute Dean's office was silent for a while. Professor Boraao only sipped his tea, not interrupting the exchange between Lanqi and Hyperion.

Only after seeing that they hadn't continued talking for a long time did he put down his teacup.

"I should get back to work. Is there anything else I can help you with?"

Professor Boraao looked at the clock and said.

Although he wanted to help Hyperion, he wouldn't do anything unnecessary.

Boraao had seen Lanqi and Hyperion's campus life many times. As Magia's magical engineering teacher, he had watched Hyperion grow up since she was a child.

Perhaps their friendship was still pure at the moment, a treasure that both sides cherished, but it could also change in an instant, only requiring a trigger.

Just like water flowing into a canal, a ripe melon falling off the vine, without human intervention.

"Speaking of which, Professor Boraao, can I study magical engineering with you next semester?"

Lanqi thought for a while and said to Professor Boraao.

The most powerful magic craftsman Lanqi had ever seen was Professor Boraao.

Even when he was still in the South Wantina Territory and hadn't left home, he had read Professor Boraao's books on magical engineering as self-study materials.

Unfortunately, Professor Boraao had never taken students individually in recent years. The only student he was willing to take was Duchess Magia.

As one of the leading magical engineers in Hutton Kingdom for hundreds of years, spending effort to cultivate someone with less talent than him was a waste of time for him.

When Lanqi first entered the school, he wanted to study with Professor Boraao, but at that time Lanqi's level was too low, and his magical engineering skills couldn't keep up with Professor Boraao. Now, after a long period of accumulation, he should be much better.

After completing the general courses for the first year at Iketerite Academy, students can determine their major direction from the second year.

As long as Lanqi chooses magical engineering and Professor Boraao is willing to take students, Lanqi can change from a lecture system to a research system next year, which is more similar to the learning method of a fourth-year student.

"Platinum-level card maker, not bad."

Although Professor Boraao said this, his gaze towards Lanqi didn't have too much expectation,

"Your magical engineering talent is good, but you're not a rare genius. And the most important thing is that you don't really like magical engineering, and you won't devote your life to it. To be honest, I think you're a management talent. There's no need to waste your talent on magical engineering."

Professor Boraao stated the reason why he didn't choose Lanqi in one sentence.

He had reviewed the entire process of Lanqi becoming a platinum-level card maker.

It can be seen that Lanqi can create epic cards, in addition to Lanqi's bizarre artistry and exquisite control of craftsmanship, he relies heavily on the help of the summon [Great Poet] in the principles of magical engineering itself.

Or rather, she is the key reason why Lanqi can create epic cards.

"I mainly want to ask you to teach me and Great Poet. She really likes magical engineering and should be able to keep up with you. I'll learn as much as I can."

Lanqi meant buy one get one free, take one apprentice and get two assistants.

Although it is a dangerous thing to let Lanfu learn high-end magical engineering, the magical engineering knowledge she can learn from books has basically reached its limit. If he doesn't find her some new homework to pass the time, she will become noisy again.

"I'll consider it. The main thing is that I'm very busy now and not sure if I'll have time to take students next year."

Professor Boraao pondered for a long time and finally replied.

"Is there anything I can help you with?"

Lanqi naturally understood what Professor Boraao meant.

They had just arrived here today and heard Professor Boraao talk about the problem of being busy with work.

This happened to involve Lanqi's area of expertise again.

All kinds of civil dispute problems and organizational management problems are his strengths.

"Maybe there is, maybe there isn't. You were almost able to help me with a big problem."

Professor Boraao shook his head and sighed.

Actually, the problem was still related to Loren.

Although Boraao highly recognized the personal business ability that Lanqi showed in the first semester, he couldn't ask Lanqi to help Loren solve all the problems. That would be too embarrassing for a student.
