The glass curtain wall was glowing with light, and the murals in the atrium were exceptionally bright and soft, making the entire examination room seem to be in a sparkling and comfortable space.
Returning from the Eleven Plains in the shadow world to this interior building filled with fragrance, the change that seemed like a lifetime ago made Lanqi feel relaxed both physically and mentally.
Just as he was comfortably shifting his gaze from the stretcher outside the examination room to the only classmate he knew, Hyperion,
"stop… "
Lanqi, who was about to greet Hyperion, was suddenly stunned again.
Because only at this moment did Lanqi realize that the atmosphere in the atrium did not seem so harmonious.
original.
In Lanqi's expectation, everyone should calmly discuss the test results, kill the moment of leisure in the morning, and finally sincerely wish the next group of candidates who may become classmates in the future.
But, this is obviously not the case now.
In the center of the examination room, Hyperion seemed to be in a tense relationship with a light-blonde girl from the second group of candidates who also had an extraordinary temperament.
If Lanqi's appearance had not attracted the attention of everyone present, it would have been possible that Hyperion and the noble lady would have fought each other in the next second, regardless of the examination room discipline.
They seemed to know each other, and the light-blonde girl who looked like a noble was clearly hostile to Hyperion.
The other two candidates in the second group did not confront Huberian.
But when they looked at Hyperion, they had undisguised fearful eyes, as if they were looking at a plague god.
After today's super-doubled exam, Ranchi probably realized that his teammate Hyperion should be a big celebrity in the royal capital Ikerit.
It is a humanoid self-propelled hatred attracting Ji.
She seems to be a nice person, why is she the enemy of everyone
Lanqi touched his head in confusion. He didn't know why the aristocratic circles in the royal capital were so violent.
"I say everyone, friendship comes first..."
As soon as Lanqi opened his mouth, he tried hard to smooth things over.
Harmony is the most important thing in all things. He hopes that his classmates can live in harmony and be happy.
It was obvious that even though the examiner Firat was so angry at the beginning, he and Lanqi could have reconciled.
Well, in the world of love, nothing is impossible.
"… "
After Lanqi's appearance, Hyperion was no longer willing to engage in meaningless competition.
She shook her head and glanced coldly at the noble lady with long light blonde hair.
"Your Highness Vivian, if you want to be taught a lesson in the arena after you enter school, I'll be waiting for you anytime."
After saying this, Hyperion ignored the noble girl opposite her and walked away alone.
Hyperion walked towards the waiting area, where Lanci was, ready to wait for Teacher Theresa to come back and explain post-exam matters to their group of candidates.
It was not until Hyperion came not far from Lanci that Lanci lowered his voice and said to Hyperion in surprise:
"My God, you are really tough. How dare you treat the princess so casually."
Vivian, the light-blonde girl who can be called "Your Highness", must be the princess of the Hutton Kingdom!
It seems that Her Highness Vivian herself is quite capable and is able to take the exam after their group.
It seems that Hyperion's family is quite powerful. She dares to confront the royal family like this, so she can't be a minor noble in terms of her courage.
It is worthy of being the royal capital. You can meet important people wherever you go.
It’s really exciting.
"… "
Hyperion didn't know how to respond to Lanqi's complaint.
You are so casual towards me, a duke's daughter, and you still know to show respect to the nobles
But Hyperion didn't hate Lanci's attitude.
The more people showed respect to her when she was in power, the more they liked to speak ill of her when she fell.
On the contrary, Hyperion found it rare that Lanci treated people of all identities and statuses equally.
The two had a brief exchange.
Teacher Theresa still hasn't come back.
Vivian, who was called "Your Highness", stood not far away, staring at Hyperion and Lanci with an indescribable resentment in her eyes.
"Lancy Wilford, huh?"
After a long while, Princess Vivian finally asked, with a condescending attitude.
"I don't know how you defeated Firat Shavenson, but it must be because of you."
Obviously, Hyperion alone would never be able to pass Firat.
Vivian knew Hyperion, whom she had known since childhood, too well.
She originally thought that Hyperion would leave the artificial shadow world full of resentment today, but unexpectedly, it was the examiner Firat who was carried away.
Then it must be that the "elegant nobleman with black hair and green eyes" who was rumored to have completed a speedrun through Hidden Flame of Winter has done something eye-popping again.
“It’s not the victory of one person, it’s the result of teamwork.”
Lanqi just answered humbly and bowed slightly to the princess.
Hyperion stood aside and did not deny it.
Although she knew that Lanqi's statement was humble, there was no reason for her to reveal more.
"… so."
Seeing Lanqi's attitude, Vivian didn't want to be aggressive anymore.
Lanqi's ability to pass the second round of assessment may be due to luck and performance, but being able to pass the third round of similar difficulty again shows that he must have real strength.
If this kind of guy remains calm and reserved, he should not be underestimated as a challenger in the future of the shadow world, and there is no need to bully or offend the talents of his own country.
"I advise you to stay away from this Duchess Hyperion Aranzare in the future. Don't be deceived by her because she is beautiful."
Vivian simply glanced at Hyperion and said in return.
Although she said this to Hyperion, it was obviously meant for Lanqi to hear.
Lanqi tilted his head in confusion. He felt that Vivian seemed to have misunderstood something.
It seems that the examiner Firat had the same misunderstanding before.
Is it that in their eyes, helping Hyperion is an incredible thing
I just want to pass the exam.
But it doesn't matter.
Lanqi always felt that Vivian's feelings towards Hyperion were not pure malice like Firat's, but rather an indescribable complexity.
"Your Highness Vivian, it turns out that in your eyes, Miss Hyperion is a very beautiful person."
Lanqi bowed to Vivian again, then said with a smile.
Now Hyperion looked at Lanci uncomfortably, while Vivian's expression was confused.
"No!"
Vivian denied it a little excitedly.
"There is no reconciliation between her and me. You don't need to waste your time trying to smooth things over."
Hyperion also wanted to end this topic as soon as possible, so she spoke decisively.
After hearing this, Lanqi looked at Hyperion and said "Oh", as if he understood something.
"Your Highness Vivian, it seems that Miss Hyperion has still considered reconciling with you."
Lanqi smiled gently at Vivian again, and repeated Hyperion's words like a translator.
"No!!"
Hyperion firmly denied it. It was rare to see her with such emotional ups and downs.
Hearing this, Vivian, who was originally still a little breathless, seemed to wilt. She pursed her lips and looked away.
Next.
Lanqi kept smiling, as if waiting for the two to continue speaking so that he could convey their thoughts.
But Hyperion and Vivian were silent.
