Poor Xi Xi
Chapter 167 Lanqi's Prepared Surprise
In the spacious garden below the old liberal arts building of the Magic Engineering Institute, plants bathed in morning mist and sunlight, emitting a refreshing fragrance, accompanied by the chirping of canaries, the buzzing of bees, and the murmuring of a small stream.
On this open meadow covered with flowers, two figures stood talking.
"Why do you suspect you've been scammed?" asked the young reporter, Louise Hill.
"Actually, I received a fine. Because the amount is so large and so outrageous, I have to personally verify it," Noel sighed.
The more Noel thought about it, the more he felt that it was Rancy, that unlearned kid, who had cleverly made a mistake and issued the fine incorrectly.
But then again, if Rancy really had such a degree of forgery ability, he wouldn't have to worry about food for the rest of his life.
Either he would be rich and powerful, or the kingdom's prison would take good care of Rancy.
Noel also remembered Rancy's appearance when he last saw him, focusing on studying law.
It was likely that from that time on, this kid went astray.
The top priority was to go to the Magic Engineering Institute to verify the situation before the deadline of the fine.
If the fine was fake, Noel would severely punish him this time and bring this kid back on the right track.
If it was real, Noel's mood was actually quite complicated.
Because it would mean—this kid really succeeded in entering the Sage Academy.
"Can you show me the fine? Maybe I can help you identify its authenticity," Louise Hill said with a smile.
Although she wasn't majoring in business, as an information science major, she was better at identifying the authenticity of official documents.
"Thank you," Noel gladly took out the fine.
Louise Hill took the fine and looked at it seriously.
Soon, she smiled again: "Let me tell you, most of these large fines issued in the private name of Ikrith Academy teachers are fake, a common scam. A formal fine should be in the form of public-to-public, not private-to-public. How could Professor Polao, a renowned magic engineer, do such a thing as extorting wealthy businessmen..."
However, she only said half of her sentence.
She saw that the recipient's name was Noel Wilford.
"!"
Immediately, the young reporter Louise Hill's expression became a little surprised, and she immediately stood at attention and saluted Noel with a serious expression.
"Student... what's wrong with you?" Noel originally heard Louise Hill's words, and was already preparing to arrest Rancy, but he didn't know why her attitude had changed 180 degrees.
"I have one thing I can guarantee you," Louise Hill's tone changed, with a hint of broadcasting腔.
"What?" Noel swallowed and asked nervously.
Could this fine involve even greater crimes?
"This fine must be real," Louise Hill returned the fine to Noel with both hands.
"So that kid is really in this school now?!" Noel asked with wide eyes. Rancy can't even do magic, how did he get into the Sage Academy!
Moreover, the information about his entrance exam could not be found or verified.
The more he checked, the more Noel felt that this guy's admission letter was fake.
But it turned out to be true.
He began to doubt life.
"Of course! This school can't be without him! Every report about his deeds is very well received!" Louise Hill said cheerfully.
"Every time?"
"Yes." Louise Hill nodded repeatedly.
"...Can you describe what you know about Rancy Wilford?" Noel was very worried that he and this young reporter were chatting on different servers.
"He has black hair and green eyes, is very handsome, and looks harmless and gentle. Sometimes his behavior is very guichu, making people doubt his mental state," Louise Hill described vividly.
"Hiss..." Noel scratched his head in confusion after hearing this.
It was indeed his idiot brother.
Besides being good-looking, he was useless, and his brain was still in a daily state of malfunction. He would go crazy when drunk.
Although the young reporter's comments were very sharp, these were indeed facts.
"Has Rancy caused any trouble at school?" Noel then asked his most worrying question.
"Well... no," Louise Hill thought for a while and replied.
Rancy did great things at school!
She always heard President Monster praise Rancy's work for being solid and his style being excellent.
As for outside the school, he did a big thing yesterday—killed the Destruction Saintess of the Resurrection Church. Presumably, Rancy is now at the top of the Resurrection Church's wanted list.
Louise Hill couldn't even guess the number on Rancy's bounty order in the evil cult.
"Then classmate, do you know how to find Rancy?" Noel finally breathed a sigh of relief and smiled relievedly after hearing this.
He didn't expect this kid to be a little surprising.
As long as he didn't cause any major trouble at school, that would be fine!
Rancy was still as he expected, unable to make any big waves in this royal capital. After all, Rancy was just that kind of paper tiger, a dandy who was by no means a troublemaker who would evolve out of control once he got into the right environment.
Noel felt like a big stone had been lifted from his heart, and he was in a very happy mood.
He didn't really care about the 8,000-pound fine. He would just treat it as a good celebration for Rancy's successful admission to Ikrith Academy.
"Uh, it may not be possible to find him temporarily, he is streaming live." Louise Hill looked at the pointer on the clock tower in the distance.
Rancy only entered the Shadow World yesterday morning, and this Shadow World will last for a full four days. Before that, Rancy will definitely not be found at school.
"It should be starting soon. It is said that this morning he will bring you a special art, culture, and science performance program. I was going to collect reporting materials on the Gerald Memorial Square. Are you going to watch it first and then go to the Magic Engineering Institute?" Louise Hill then looked at Noel and asked.
Rancy and the others slept relatively late and only finished broadcasting at two in the morning. Before the broadcast, they announced that they would not start broadcasting until after nine o'clock this morning.
So now is the right time.
Being able to get along with Rancy day and night, Rancy's father's psychological endurance must be very good. Seeing Rancy's picture in the Shadow World shouldn't cause much heart fluctuations.
"Heh, I want to see what this kid is up to," Noel laughed.
Since the fine was real, he was not in a hurry to go to the Magic Engineering Institute to check the situation.
Could that kid have any decent talent that could be performed for the students of the whole school and the passing residents of the royal capital?
Too funny.
He couldn't wait to appreciate it.
Please give me monthly tickets, Xi Zhi is kowtowing!
