Chapter 170

Very good, the lonely and great archmage was feeling sorry for herself at home, worrying that she had lost the admiration of her little beast. Here, her little beast fought to defend her honor. What a romantic story it sounds like. Virgil raised his chin, touched his stubble thoughtfully, and asked, "So, how did you get involved with Dueling Law?"

Luna clearly choked for a moment, feeling like she had said too much. "I… I have to go, I still have homework to do!"

Virgil stretched out his arm to stop her and said with a smile, "I heard that you have two good friends, Rost siblings? I can ask them about it, considering my friendship with their sister…"

"No!" Luna instantly felt like the sky was falling. Not only did she betray Sylas, but she also put the Rost siblings in danger. What if their mischievous behavior was discovered by their family?

"Tell me about Dueling Law. This thing has been out of fashion for a long time, and the spells must be hard to find, right? The materials must have become very expensive. Not only silk but also silver powder is not cheap. What made Sylas still want to use ‘Dueling Law’ despite knowing the trouble it would bring?"

"Um… we… you know that Sauran has an organization called ‘Star Song Castle, why did they allow the Xerath Association to be so arrogant?’"

Virgil burst into laughter, almost laughing under the table. "Oh my goodness! Is he really an adult? What does this association do?"

Luna shrugged, "It’s just that Sauran gathered some people and they talked badly about Xerath and started spreading rumors… We decided to teach each one of them a lesson, so… so we found ‘Dueling Law’… Oh, by the way! Even if you talk to Sister Catherine, it won’t make a difference! She supported us with this witchcraft. She found it deep in the library."

"So there’s an organization that defends the honor of the archmage? Sounds really cool, that’s what school life should be like," said Virgil, looking envious and approving, easily capturing Luna’s heart.

"Right? Right? We have two organizations, one in the shadows, our ‘witchcraft research society’, and one called the ‘Lily Knight Order’, responsible for spreading the stories of Xerath and recruiting more spectators to our side. Swis is our undercover agent in the enemy camp, don’t expose him!"

"Of course, of course, that would be great. So… Sylas is in charge of duels and fighting, right?"

"Um…"

Seeing that Luna still didn’t want to sell out Sylas directly, Virgil kindly said, "Sylas consulted me on how to fight with magic, so she’s in charge of the frontlines, right?"

"Yes, yes…"

"Hmm, that’s right, good kid, be honest with Uncle. Don’t worry, Hunter Virgil never lies, you can trust me," he patted his chest, "What kind of people do you all need to teach a lesson?"

Luna said, "Only Sylas and Swis have the complete list."

Virgil flirtatiously winked at her, "Steal it for me, I’ll help."

"Will you help us teach them a lesson?"

Virgil remained silent and enigmatically said, "You will steal it for me, right?"

"Okay… alright…"

Tomorrow afternoon at 6:30, I will wait for you here, please join me for dinner," Virgil said, then went to the front desk to pay the bill and left the restaurant. After walking out, he couldn’t help but exclaim, "Ah… Hunter Virgil only came to help his old friend take care of the little beast she raised, who knew the little beast would cause so much trouble so quickly. He really shouldn’t have let her return to the ‘human world.’ Diego must take responsibility for this whole matter…

He didn’t worry about Sylas’s strength. He almost died at the hands of Sylas himself, but he also wanted to teach the other party a lesson, make sure Sylas didn’t make any fatal mistakes, and protect her from any unknown ruffians who might harm her. It’s really difficult to do all of that…

It’s just exhausting to occasionally take care of a child. I really don’t know how his old friend, the reclusive old wizard in the desert, managed to endure for so many years and even became addicted to it.

After Luna returned to school, she didn’t dare go back to the dormitory. She wandered around the library until it was time to bid farewell to her boyfriend in the evening. As usual, Sylas was already in the dormitory, sitting on the bed wearing a collarless silk shirt and light-colored pants, reading a letter. When she saw Luna opening the door, she greeted her.

"Sylas… Did Virgil really save your life?"

Sylas nodded. Virgil did rescue her from the deep underground cave and took her to meet the person who gave her a new life, so it’s not wrong to say so.

"Do you know where Virgil comes from?"

"Um… he’s an amazing Demon Hunter, always catching demon beasts all over the continent and selling them to wealthy people. He knows all kinds of people… And he always claims to be friends with important people, but it seems like he might be lying, huh?" Sylas innocently raised her head.

"No, no… he really is friends with many important people."

"Like who?"

"He’s close with archmage Xerath! They are the same age and they were classmates in Star Song Castle. They were in the same class in primary school too. In many legends, there were ‘hunters’ mentioned, and that was Virgil!"

"So… that’s so amazing!"

"Yes! They have fought demons together, searched for missing ancient artifacts. Haven’t I told you about archmage stopping an assassination plot? It was related to Virgil too."

"Oh…" She didn’t know what tone to use.

"Hey! What kind of expression is that? Aren’t you excited? Just imagine, our fight to defend archmage’s honor will reach her ears! She will thank us, right?"

"No, not so good? It’s like seeking recognition and rewards from her. No, no, I’d rather she didn’t know. I fight for her not to receive praise, but… but because she deserves it."

Luna took a step back, covering her heart. The focused and serious expression of the beautiful girl made it impossible not to be enchanted. Luna couldn’t help but sigh, "If you have the chance to meet the archmage, you must say this with that kind of expression!"

Sylas asked in confusion, "Why?"

"It’s so captivating! Even I can’t help but like you, darn it! I usually like handsome men! Even the archmage wouldn’t be able to resist."

"No, that’s not true… I talk to her like this every day. Doesn’t the archmage find it unremarkable? She has traveled many places across the continent, seen many beautiful girls and handsome boys. Many people admire her, and I’m just an ordinary one among hundreds and thousands of her admirers."

"If you’re ordinary, then there won’t be anyone extraordinary among us. You’re the best student among us. How could the archmage not like you? Oh my, have you never asked Virgil to take you to meet the archmage? I bet she would praise you endlessly! Go and ask Virgil, you might just be able to study at Xerath’s mage tower!"

"Luna, calm down. She has never taken on any students."

Luna finally calmed down.

"If Virgil can really take someone to meet Xerath," the name twirling in her mouth, she liked the feeling of those two sounds bouncing off her tongue, she would always call the archmage by her name at special moments, just like when they weren’t yet master and apprentice. "He bragged about it long ago, haven’t you noticed? I mean… he would come to our house as a guest and tell me his adventure stories, but he… never mentioned Xerath. We’re… ‘friends for life,’ and he… never mentioned taking me to meet the archmage. Did he mention it to you?"

Luna pouted and shook her head, "No… I also wanted to go see Xerath with you…"

Sylas couldn’t help but laugh, "What are you planning to do after you meet her? Anything special?"

Luna sat cross-legged at the end of her bed, propping her chin up and said, "Well… maybe I can show her the Lily Knight Order badge first? And then ask her to sign it?"

Sylas laughed and said, "That sounds silly. Are you sure you want to do that?"

"Yes," Luna laughed too, "It’s silly, but we definitely have to do it! Let her know she’s not alone!"

Sylas tilted her head, leaning against her own knee, and said, "She will definitely be very happy, won’t she?"

"Definitely!" Luna thought of something and asked tentatively, "Aren’t you afraid that Virgil will tell your parents about the mischief you do at school?"

Sylas shook her head, "I beg him not to blab, otherwise it would be quite scary."

"Oh, little fairy, why don’t you tell me about what happens at your home?"

Sylas opened her eyes wide and said, "What’s there to talk about? Oh, by the way, how did I do on the last evaluation? I forgot to ask you."

Luna answered honestly, "You were only two points away from a perfect score."

Sylas surprisingly looked disappointed, and Luna angrily said, "That’s outrageous! What kind of expression is that?! Getting a 90 out of 100 is not easy, and yet you dare to complain about getting a 98!"

"Um… did the teacher explain why?"

"Why would there be an explanation? The teacher said your handwriting was beautiful, your lines were clean, the layout was neat and aesthetically pleasing. As for the formulas and symbols, there was nothing to criticize."

Sylas furrowed her brow and asked, "Did… the teacher not say why points were deducted?"

Luna rolled her eyes, grabbed a cushion and threw it at her, "You’re such a never-satisfied demon! No one ever gets a perfect score in Portal Design class, 98 is already the highest." She also handed Sylas the assignment for the new topic, "You better attend the next class, the teacher will be going over new concepts."

Dealing with someone like Sylas, either you tell her that not attending class will result in point deductions, or you mention that you’ll discuss things she doesn’t know about. Sure enough, Sylas takes the bait.

Just when Sylas’s life was returning to a peaceful state, Virgil, a skilled hunter, was far from idle. He moved through this city he knew so well, visiting one old friend after another. His first stop was Maryland.
