Chapter 153 Early Morning Visit

In the gentle baptism of the morning light, the once-dim dormitory building walls and furnishings seemed to be infused with life, awakening from the slumber of the night.

"I hope I have better options besides mental magic."

Lan Qi was feeding his animal friends on the balcony, chattering to them, but they probably didn't understand much.

The Great Love Poet, as a magic card, although involving musical magic, is essentially classified as [Mental] type because it almost directly or indirectly affects the enemy's spirit through music.

And most musical magic is actually a subset of mental magic.

Lan Qi has now reached the third rank. After passing the intense entrance exam and finishing the Shadow World, he has some free time. Today's plan is to ask Talia to help him test if he has a better affinity for magic types than [Mental] magic.

"Right, I also need to buy some potted plants for home."

Lan Qi was holding out his palm, feeding the chirping birds that were constantly nodding and pecking, when he suddenly remembered something.

The beautiful time that the Great Love Poet should have enjoyed at the Magic Academy was disrupted by cultists. After returning to the real world, Lan Qi summoned her for a short while to express his apologies. As a result, the Great Love Poet didn't take the opportunity to make excessive demands, only saying that she wanted to grow flowers and asked Lan Qi to let her out occasionally.

Lan Qi readily agreed to the Great Love Poet.

But now that he thought about it carefully, one of them grows flowers and the other raises birds. Lan Qi felt that if this continued, his dormitory would become a natural ecological scenic spot.

After feeding the small animals, Lan Qi returned to the living room, sat on the sofa, and pondered where he should go for breakfast today.

After clearing the fourth-rank Shadow World, the academy will grant students a two-week vacation that can be freely allocated, for extremely tired students to adjust their condition.

Now Lan Qi is a little too idle.

At least two weeks without having to go to the classroom to be tortured by the Sages' Institute teachers.

"Why not go find Shifu first thing in the morning?"

Lan Qi thought it was a good opportunity to visit Talia today anyway. In addition to asking her about magic affinity, he also wanted to have a passionate discussion with her about the important research project of "hairstyle transformation magic."

As for choosing restaurant locations with Talia each time, although she wouldn't express any preference, he could tell from the subtle changes in her pupils: this store is "acceptable" or "not very interesting."

And the stores that Talia favors are definitely very good!

Lan Qi now regards her as a human-shaped food detector.

But Talia doesn't seem to have discovered that Lan Qi is using her in this way yet.

Lan Qi went to the mirror, took off his coat from the solid wood floor-standing coat rack, put it on, and prepared to leave.

When Talia and Lan Qi parted last time, she told Lan Qi that she would be moving to a new residence.

Because she was going to live in the royal capital for a long time, staying in a hotel was a meaningless waste of money, so she found a new place to live.

Lan Qi remembered that the address was not far from the east side of the school, about a ten-minute walk away.

"Knock knock."

Just then, the door of dormitory 101 was suddenly knocked on.

"Coming, coming."

Lan Qi heard the knock and hurried to the entrance.

He didn't know who would be knocking on his door so early in the morning. It was a good thing he hadn't left yet, otherwise the other party would have made a wasted trip.

He felt that once his dormitory address was found out and spread, even if he stayed in the dormitory and didn't go to class these few days, many people would come to him.

When he returned to school yesterday, although it wasn't completely light yet, many students along the way were cheering him on, making him feel like a celebrity.

It seemed that his positive and energetic performance in the Shadow World had gained the approval of his classmates. Everyone was also very polite, knowing that he needed to rest, and didn't disturb him yesterday.

Lan Qi thought to himself as he pressed down on the doorknob.

As the door was pulled open, he saw an old man with silver hair and a white beard, tall and refined, standing outside the door.

"Hello...?"

Lan Qi didn't recognize this old man, but judging from his attire, he should be a professor from their Sages' Institute, and of a very high status.

Although the old man's high nose bridge and delicate facial contours were full of traces of time, this made him look both wise and majestic, with an unfathomable magical power all over his body.

If he was a professor, then that was right, because they would naturally know which dormitory he lived in.

"Student Lan Qi, don't worry, I'm just here to have a chat with you."

The old man obviously saw Lan Qi's confusion and said in a gentle voice,

"I am Ron, the vice-dean of the Sages' Institute. You will see me in class in the future."

Although Lan Qi skipped the last class of Vice-Dean Ron on the first day of school, so they hadn't met until now, this was their first true offline meeting.

But Vice-Dean Ron had witnessed too many "wonderful" performances of Lan Qi in the conference room of the Sages' Institute.

"Ron... Teacher, please come in."

Lan Qi heard this and seemed to be planning to put his hands behind his back, nod slightly, and then inquire about and explain important work matters with the vice-dean.

But he quickly realized that this was the Icrete Academy, and he was no longer the principal. He urgently switched roles and very politely invited Professor Ron, who had come to visit, into the living room to sit on the sofa.

Lan Qi felt lingering fear, feeling that he seemed to have some Shadow World aftereffects. Seeing the leaders of the academy almost triggered his "principal" function.

In the living room.

Ron briefly surveyed the layout of Lan Qi's dormitory, which was very tidy.

Obviously, Lan Qi was a student with quite good living habits, who cherished the dormitory, completely the opposite of those slovenly and willful students.

However, Lan Qi's gentle and polite appearance made Vice-Dean Ron feel a sense of surreal science fiction.

It was hard to imagine that this seemingly peaceful and virtuous young man was actually the great demon king they had seen in the conference room of the Sages' Institute yesterday, who could dominate the Demon Realm.

Ron even couldn't help but sigh that it was a good thing that Ferat, the examiner in the third round of the entrance exam, encountered Lan Qi, who was bound by the laws of the real world. If the radiant demon from the Shadow World had come, Ferat would probably have disappeared without a trace by now.

While thinking, Ron only felt as if he were in another world. He didn't know why a person could possess such black-and-white duality.

But it had to be admitted that Lan Qi was indeed the most outstanding freshman in their Sages' Institute this year.

It was just a little too outstanding.

Accompanied by a dangerousness that normal people could not predict.

Of course, it was dangerous for those who had not yet understood the dangerousness of this student and even planned to provoke him.

Here are three chapters today, and there is one more chapter later!
