The next day.
Adams left the residence of the academic visiting team of the Royal College of Alolan early and went to the Sage's House alone.
Yesterday he received a reply from Ikerita Academy, saying that Lanqi was willing to have a friendly competition with him.
This morning, Lanqi will be waiting for him in the conference room of the main building of the Sage Academy to discuss the specific details with him.
As they themselves are very topical, this derby also attracted much attention from students, so it received support from the Student Union and the School of Magic Engineering.
The only pity is that Dean Loren has left the royal capital Ikerit for important church affairs these days and is unable to preside over the meeting in person.
Adams walked into the core area of the Sage's House, a towering educational hall.
The majestic stone pillars, curved windows, and intricate and exquisite crystal carvings, every detail is full of strong ancient architectural style.
The spacious atrium of the main building of Sage Hall is filled with classical charm, and many students are chatting leisurely.
"Did you hear that?"
"What did you hear?"
"Gossip about Dean Loren and Knight Commander Juliana."
The more they talked, the more students stopped and gathered around.
"what happened?"
"In fact, the relationship between Dean Loren and Knight Commander Juliana was not bad from the beginning, but it was very ambiguous! Knight Commander Juliana hoped that Dean Loren would be devoted to her, but Dean Loren couldn't let go of his dozen fiancées... In the end, Dean Loren couldn't get the love he wanted, and Knight Commander Juliana turned from love to hatred, so the two broke up and became enemies..."
As he walked along, Adams heard the hot topics being discussed by the students of the Sage Academy. He couldn't help but clench his fists, making a sound of friction between the leather armor on his gauntlets and the metal.
"Loren..."
Adams' eyes were filled with resentment.
Who could have imagined that the high priest who looked dignified and strict was actually an emotional playboy who treated Knight Commander Juliana as a fool.
There is no need to doubt the authenticity. If it is not reliable, which school's students would dare to talk about their own dean like this! Moreover, Loren is a powerful person in the world!
Chapter 184 Lanqi's Yan State Map is Too Short
Adams was walking in the atrium of the main building of the Sage Academy, and soon he saw a familiar figure at the end.
Teacher Theresa, who had agreed to meet him, was already waiting in the main building of the Sage Academy.
"Mr. Adams, please follow me. Mr. Ranch is already in the conference room."
Teacher Theresa said in her usual gentle tone.
Before Dean Loren went on a business trip, he handed over the affairs with the academic visiting team from the Kingdom of Alolan to Teacher Theresa, who was not so busy and very reliable.
And Theresa had dealt with Lanqi several times since the entrance examination, and Lanqi only listened carefully to her "General Knowledge of Magical Genealogy" class.
Although Loren was worried, he felt that Teacher Theresa was the best candidate.
One can only hope that she can tie up Lanqi a little.
"Thank you, Teacher Theresa."
Adams saluted the friendly Teresa and followed.
Since coming to Ikerit College, he found that the quality of students in the Sage Academy is very high.
When he proposed the competition, the third-grade strongmen not only had no intention of competing, but also chose to be humble, which made Adams feel a little embarrassed.
However, everyone didn't want him to come in vain, and knowing what kind of opponent Adams wanted, they revealed "Lanqi" to him.
Out of chivalry, Adams did not specifically investigate the opponent's intelligence in Ikerit College before the competition. He only learned some basic information about Lanci from the senior students of the Sage Academy.
But judging from the way Dean Loren was strongly opposing it, the first-year student named Lanqi must be the trump card of the Sages' College.
Needless to say.
A few minutes later.
Adams followed Teacher Theresa to a heavy door on the top floor of the Sage Academy.
This is the large conference room where the teachers of Sage Academy usually hold meetings, but it is vacant today.
"Here we are."
Teacher Theresa said with a smile and pushed open the door.
What came into Adams' eyes was a spacious room dominated by white tones, which looked like a combination of an office and a reception room. The bright and soft light made the atmosphere very harmonious. There were more than ten round tables surrounding the circular magic screen in the center.
At a random spot on the side of the conference room, a figure was sitting on a chair next to a round table. He had his back to the table, seemingly admiring the campus scenery outside the floor-to-ceiling windows.
Adams could tell even though he was just sitting there.
That person is the center of the entire conference room and is also the secret weapon cultivated by the legendary Dean Loren - Lanqi Wilford.
The young man on the seat quickly turned his chair because of Adams' arrival, which was a respect and courtesy to the guests.
"Student Adams, you are here."
Lanqi said with a smile on his face, sitting elegantly in a chair, stroking a black kitten in his hand.
This spring-like feeling made Adams who was standing at the door slightly stunned.
He never thought that his opponent would be such a harmless, naturally pure boy, who would not even show a trace of hostility when facing his opponent.
This feeling of pure mind made Adams think of their talented card maker, Kallen.
If Lanci is also such a late bloomer, then Adams doesn't know how to show his strength towards Lanci.
"You two can discuss the content of the competition, and we will notarize it for you."
Teacher Theresa brought Adams to the round table in front of Lanqi, and then sat on the other side.
Although this was not the official meeting time of the Sages' Academy, many faculty members and senior students from Ikerit College who would provide witnesses and technical support for this competition were already in the meeting room.
More than you thought.
Maybe this group of people are just here to watch the fun.
Theresa observed Lanci for a moment.
She had felt it since this morning that Lanqi seemed a little different today, but she couldn't tell what was different.
correct.
Theresa suddenly remembered——
During this period, Hyperion took a leave of absence, so Lanqi had to act alone for a rare time.
Of course, there was also a little black cat on Lanqi's body, sometimes staying in his hands, sometimes clinging to his shoulders, and sometimes lying on his head.
Because this black cat is so lively and cute, many curious girls in the Sage Academy want to touch it.
But when people saw that the cat was on Ranchi, they chose to stay away.
According to Theresa's understanding, although many girls in the Sage Academy had shown interest in Lanci because of his appearance, temperament and talents when Lanci first entered the school, no one had ever dared to take action to approach Lanci.
It's not that Lan Qi's popularity in school is not high enough.
But he can only watch from a distance and cannot play with it.
It’s like even if a student is in love, as long as he is sane, he generally won’t consider the principal as a mate.
But what is wrong with Lan Qi now...
"Wait, Hyperion isn't here..."
Teresa's face suddenly turned pale.
The only normal person around Ranchi is gone. Ranchi, who has lost his reference and external conscience, will probably run wild and do whatever he wants!
Realizing the seriousness of the problem, Theresa quickly turned her head away. Although it was shameful to escape, she was afraid that she would be implicated.
"Student Adams, Ikerita Academy welcomes you."
Lanci stood up, held out his hand to Adams, and spoke in a steady voice.
"Thank you for your friendly hospitality."
Adams also shook hands with Lanci seriously.
He had a good first impression of Lanci. There was no arrogance of a genius in Lanci at all. He was just humble and approachable.
The only thing that was a little strange was that Lanci's temperament and behavior did not seem like those of a student, which gave Adams the illusion that the person in front of him was the leader of the college representing the college in external exchanges.
"I am very happy to be invited by you, but I also need to make it clear to you in advance that this is an exchange based on friendship first. I will not treat you as an enemy and do anything to win."
Lanci said to Adams sincerely.
"..."
Adams was silent for a moment.
He understood what Lanqi meant.
Although he had to admit that Lanqi was a decent and measured person, if both sides did not try their best, it would go against his original intention of proposing this competition.
I want to get back at Lady Juliana.
"I think we should put something on the line to make this competition more competitive and less boring."
Adams suggested.
He believed that the audience in the school would not want to see a dull competition where neither side had any tension.
"for example?"
Lanci looked a little embarrassed, but out of respect for Adams, he still asked.
"If I beat you, can you let Dean Loren go to the Kingdom of Alolan to apologize to Knight Commander Juliana?"
Adams got straight to the point.
Regardless of whether the other party agrees or not, he will first put forward the biggest goal.
If the other party can't do it, it will be fine to gradually make concessions at that time.
Just when Adams thought there was no way Lanci would agree to such a ridiculous proposal.
