Zethistira listened silently to Lan Qi's legal guidance.

Every so often, shop assistants in neat uniforms would pass by them with trays, and a rich caramel scent would waft over as trays laden with freshly made coffees, desserts, and cold drinks glided past.

Zethistira inexplicably found Lan Qi's words quite reasonable.

Those annoying monkeys at the Protos Royal Magic Academy could indeed be dealt with in this way.

But Zethistira shook her head, choosing to seal these theories in her mind.

She was a dragon demon, not a canine demon.

Actually, the most impressive thing about his reporting of the Rebirth Church wasn't that he dared to report them.

It was that even though he reported them, no one from the Nihilation Branch came to bother him or retaliate against him.

It was hard to imagine what kind of mental state allowed him to achieve this suicidal behavior.

An average person playing like this wouldn't even have ten lives to spare.

But the Nihilation Branch even swallowed the loss like a mute, choosing to handle the matter internally and quell the situation, and the details of the incident were all suppressed by the Nihilation Branch.

Zethistira's attitude towards the Rebirth Church was neither dislike nor like, so she didn't think Lan Qi did anything good or bad.

She just thought it was pretty good.

Since yesterday, those monkeys who always cast blatant hostility towards her had become a little more restrained, seemingly afraid of being targeted by her attendant and having their entire family reported.

After all, even the Nihilation Branch of the Rebirth Church, known for its insidious and viciousness, couldn't do anything about this guy, and the nobles of the empire, who still had to maintain some face and stand in the open, were unwilling to provoke such a person.

The clock in the corner hung quietly, the ticking of the hands obscured by the shop's light, lilting, and carefree jazz music.

By the time Lan Qi finished speaking, Zethistira finally breathed a sigh of relief.

She was mostly sure she hadn't been assimilated.

Zethistira turned her head to look at the clock in the shop. It was indeed noon. That slight hunger wouldn't lie.

"Let's go. I'll take you to recognize the safe zones in the school."

Zethistira picked up the books that had been neatly arranged on the table, then stood up and said to Lan Qi,

"The monthly assessment day is next week. I'll have to trouble you."

After this weekend, Lan Qi would need to stay at the Protos Royal Academy for five days, because without special reasons, attendants and students were not allowed to leave or enter the school midway during the work week.

"No problem."

Lan Qi nodded, stood up, took his coat from the wall beside him, and walked out of the coffee shop with Zethistira.

Due to the dismissal of the original examiner, Caius, and the surge in workload caused by internal personnel coordination, the final assessment coordination work, which was originally scheduled to be completed yesterday, was postponed by one day and turned into a notice issued today, Saturday, to report to the Nihilation Knights' Temple tomorrow.

Lan Qi had written in his resume information that his job was as a noble student counselor at the Protos Royal Academy, and he might need to stay at the Protos Royal Academy for five working days at any time. The Rebirth Church also wrote in its reply that the new priests would not be involved in fixed-time explicit tasks and could prioritize their own social occupation work arrangements.

Although it has now transformed into a formal organization, the essence of the Rebirth Church needing some priests in the shadows has not changed.

Lan Qi will try his best to help Zethistira during his time at the school, helping her get enough credits to observe the [Primordial Stone Tablet - Light].

When Zethistira's path to higher education advances by leaps and bounds, he can also observe the stone tablet. They both have a bright future.

According to the rules of the Protos Royal Magic Academy, no matter how many credits he helps Zethistira get, the right to use the credits belongs to Zethistira, but Zethistira had already told him that he would decide what to exchange with the credits he got.

Lan Qi felt that he might be able to observe more stone tablets in this trip to the Northern Continent than he imagined. He was not tired at all from observing the stone tablets. He just needed to find a place to sit in the stone tablet space and act as a supervisor for the Great Love Poet. She would work hard.

At noon in the imperial capital of Herlom, when the two walked out of the shopping mall building, they were gently stroked by the rare warm sunlight, as if the whole world was welcoming them.

In the winter of this fortress city-state, bright and not-so-cold weather is relatively rare, especially in this cold winter when even Lilom City is snowing.

The buildings on both sides of the street have historical sedimentation or newly built modernity. Even though he has been in Herlom for nearly a week, Lan Qi can still clearly feel the melting characteristics of this city-state, which has created that magical color spanning hundreds of years.

The pedestrians in the downtown area are either leisurely or hurried, making the originally wide road slightly crowded and slow.

Lan Qi and Zethistira walked along the road towards the Protos Royal Academy. Their conversation did not stop because they left the coffee shop. Instead, on this bustling street, Zethistira was still carefully explaining the rules that needed attention in the school to Lan Qi.

Although Zethistira seems a bit autistic because she can't directly judge goodwill and malice, and she won't easily agree with others or get along with people with malice, but once the chatterbox is opened, she is the kind of person who talks more among the people Lan Qi knows.

Most of the time, she is either asking him for advice or teaching him.

Lan Qi felt that if he put her and Senior Luvishil, who was a chatterbox, together, they could probably chat all day.

However, he is also good at listening to the voices of students. He is the same as Dean Lauren in this respect.

"On the day of the monthly assessment, you can only see the difficulty before entering the classroom and cannot know what type of assessment is inside. If you are lucky, it will be quite simple if you encounter the assessment content that I am originally better at, but if you are unlucky, you may need to use your wisdom and knowledge to help me."

Suddenly.

Zethistira's voice paused,

"I seem to feel a sense of being observed by someone..."

It's hard to say whether it's sight or magic.

"And then it disappeared."

Zethistira murmured with a frown.

Lan Qi's steps did not change at all, but he turned his head and looked at Zethistira in confusion, because he did not feel any sense of crisis at all.

If even Boss Cat can't detect it at all, it means that the opponent's strength is at least far stronger than him.

The downtown area of the imperial capital Herlom can be said to be an absolute safe zone, and almost no one will commit murder here.

It must be Zethistira's talent that discovered something.

"But it's not malice, so don't worry too much."

Zethistira said instead, telling him not to worry.

It is rare to have an existence that is not malicious to her, and the other party should be even less malicious to Lan Qi.

Hearing what Zethistira said, Lan Qi also nodded and did not produce any worries.

"Exercise your talent magic more, and it can evolve after your rank is improved."

Lan Qi said to Zethistira, he was sure that Zethistira's talent was quite useful.

"How should I exercise it, and what are the directions of evolution?"

Zethistira asked with great concern.

In fact, even she herself doesn't know much about the talent magic of the demon race. Many of these kinds of books have long been lost.

But her teacher is a Southerner who is quite knowledgeable about the demon race.

Maybe he knows some important information that cannot be found in the Northern Continent.

"I'm not sure how to exercise it, but I do know a few directions of evolution. For example, your talent can also evolve into mind reading."

Lan Qi replied with his arms crossed and his brow furrowed.

"Also?"

Zethistira found that Lan Qi seemed to know other demons as well.

And has a similar talent to her.

"My teacher is a demon, but it's too difficult for that guy to evolve into a mind-reading talent. He doesn't interact with people, stays at home all day in self-imposed isolation, and never wants to listen to other people's hearts. It's estimated that he won't be able to do mind reading for decades or hundreds of years. I advise you not to learn from her."

Lan Qi shook his head with a chuckle and explained to Zethistira.
