Chapter 208
"…Thank you?"
Kuowa waited for a while, not seeing the expression she wanted to see. Disappointed, she said, "It seems you still don’t quite understand what an honor this is."
Sylas shook her head with confusion.
"On the day of the graduation ceremony, the school will invite many alumni to come and participate. Most of these people are prestigious wizards. It would be very helpful for your future to meet them… or be recognized by them. It’s a great honor, completely different from giving a speech as a representative of the new generation. You’ve made an appearance in front of one-seventh of all the wizards in the whole continent. It will make all your relatives proud of you."
"I’m not sure if she cares about these empty titles or if she will come because of them," Sylas shook her head.
"It’s okay, it’s okay. Just write it down first. You haven’t sent the invitation letter yet, right?"
"Uh… you…"
"Of course, I know. Ah, the girl who lies in bed tossing and turning, unable to sleep. Just grit your teeth and send out the invitation letter. I’ll accompany you." The demon pushed her shoulder. Actually, Eilan had not been willing to exchange that answer with a kiss until now. She hadn’t received a kiss for many days. Although her hands were decent, they couldn’t compare to Eilan’s lips. It was like choosing between bacon and fried eggs for breakfast. Without one, it wouldn’t be perfect.
"Hey? Hey?" Sylas had to use the "Earth Root" to fix herself in place so that she wouldn’t be lifted up and taken away by the demon. "I still have to go take my exam!"
"Alright, alright. I’ll take you to your exam." Kuowa still hadn’t given up on flying up and taking her away. She flew from the top of Spring Hall, and from above, she saw the iron chains on the aerial pathway swaying back and forth with the wind and the steps of people.
After the exam, she planned to finish writing as quickly as possible and then sneak away. However, she didn’t expect to run into a smiling Kuowa right when she came out.
"Little fairy, where are you in such a hurry? Are you looking for me?"
Before Sylas could find the right words, the demon carried her away again. Many students who had just finished their exams witnessed this scene and made sounds of sympathy or envy.
The mischievous succubus flew directly to the North Tower of Sisters Hall. After confusing Shirley and getting her to open a window, she landed with Sylas. She leaned in close to Sylas and said, "I know you have it with you, take it out and finish writing."
Sylas took out a clip and took out a piece of paper from inside. She dipped it in ink and wrote a line, but Kuowa looked over and said, "No no no, it should be like this."
Suddenly, a pen that may have been enchanted jumped off the table. It crossed out the previous line and all the words that expressed uncertainty or modesty. It immediately transformed into a bold and confident sentence. Sylas pushed this obviously repeatedly revised letter under Sylas’s nose and said, "Now, immediately, write a copy and send it out."
"This is my private matter…"
"Sending invitations to your guests is not just your private matter. If necessary, I will help you send them." Yes, it was important to make sure Eilan’s jaw dropped.
"How are you going to…"
"If your report card can be sent to your home, is it really that difficult to send this letter that you have been writing and revising? Hurry up."
Sylas had to copy the letter under the supervision of a scary creature. She didn’t really want to, but just like Kuowa understood, someone had to force her. Even though she seemed reluctant, she copied very fast and soon finished. Kuowa took the letter and sealed it in an envelope, then escorted her down the stairs (of course, by carrying her).
Sylas raised her hand, halfway through giving the letter, but suddenly stopped, took a breath, and prepared to speak.
"I can send it for you," the scary creature’s voice suddenly became deep and evil, "then it won’t be just sending this letter but also a guardian’s notice because you got hurt."
"Why are you so insistent?"
"Humans’ indecisiveness is really irritating!" she flipped in the air, flapping up and down while saying, "I want to see who she is!"
Sylas pouted, "Anyway, she might not come."
She looked sadly at the mailbox, feeling like there was something unfinished for her to do. As the letter made a sound when it dropped into the mailbox, Kuowa smiled in relief, clapping her hands as if trying to get rid of something.
"How does it feel to fly?"
"It’s alright," Sylas said with a straight face, but flying with her wings and being carried around by the winged demon felt quite different.
"Oh dear, I can see you’re not very pleased. Well, you can walk back on your own then!" After saying that, she patted her wings and flew away. Her departure was so annoying that you wished you could shoot a gust of wind to knock her down. Sylas stood there in astonishment, wondering if this demon was too irresponsible.
Just as she glared at Kuowa’s back with anger, someone behind her called her name. She turned around and saw Swis and Caroline. Swis waved at her from a distance and said, "Sylas, let’s go out for a celebration dinner because you defeated Sauran! Oh… what happened to your hair?"
Sylas unconsciously touched her hair, but unfortunately, there was nothing to touch. Half of her hair was burnt by Sauran during the duel two days ago, so she had to cut off the other half as well. Yesterday, she went to the school hair salon and got a new hairstyle. Now she looked just like ordinary boys on campus, well, maybe a bit more handsome.
"What’s wrong with you? Her hair was burnt by Sauran."
"Oh, yes! Yes, sorry, I didn’t realize it at once. That villain, he’s truly too mean! The little fairy lost her long and flowing black hair. The boys’ dormitory is mourning."
Caroline said, "It’s been… it’s been two days since the victory. Don’t you think it’s a bit late for a celebration now?"
"So what! We haven’t eaten yet! Plus, Sylas was busy preparing for exams a few days ago, and she didn’t have time to go out. Sylas, how’s your shoulder holding up?"
Sylas smiled and replied, "It’s fine, no new scars left."
"New scars" means there are old ones, but the twins silently decided not to ask. After waiting for a while, Luna came running over. Just a few steps away, she used her "teleportation" and suddenly appeared in front of everyone.
"Why are we all standing here? Sylas, have you changed your medicine?"
"I have."
Swis talked about the meal, and Luna said, "So what are we waiting for? Let’s go!"
Caroline nodded at Swis, meaning for him to take a step first. It wouldn’t be good if someone saw them, because Swis is a spy. Although Caroline had disagreed with Swis taking risks before, she didn’t want him to be exposed this way.
Swis smiled at his sister and said, "Let’s meet at the usual place."
When Swis left, Sylas asked, "He…he seemed a bit strange today. It was so chaotic that day. Where did Swis go afterwards?"
"He said he got separated and was forcefully dispersed, so he couldn’t come to see you. Are you blaming him?"
Sylas shook her head and said, "No, I wouldn’t…" She reached out to tuck her hair behind her ear but couldn’t feel anything.
What a pity!" Luna noticed this scene and sighed. This event has a huge impact on our group. There were many interesting scenes about the long hair that we can’t play anymore, like ‘the archmage reaches out to tuck her hair behind her ear, holding it thoughtfully in his palm. Sylas dares not move, feeling both resistant and anticipatory about what she might do next.’
The girls talked non-stop about hair when Swis parachuted down next to them on a path down the mountain. Luna was startled and said, "Why are you so quiet!"
Caroline said, "Hmm, this boy now has the ears of a mouse and the footsteps of a cat."
Dinner had a crispy roast chicken, wrapped in thin unleavened bread with garlic sauce and chicken. The aroma filled the air, and everyone enjoyed it very much. Swis happily said, "Today, Sauran had to invigilate an exam! I heard he couldn’t find anyone to replace him, and if he didn’t go, it would be considered skipping class. Someone saw his beautiful mark, burning with green flames. To be honest, if it weren’t for that aggressive writing, many people would want one too."
"Is it beautiful?"
"Extremely beautiful! It is said that when he entered the classroom, everyone read it out together! We suspect that there must be your supporters among the teachers, and they don’t plan to give him any special treatment to make him embarrass himself."
Caroline smiled and said, "That must be Eilan."
That makes perfect sense, couldn’t think of anyone else.
After finishing the meal, it was already completely dark. The four of them walked out of the small restaurant, with rosy faces from being full and satisfied. Swis was walking in front, looking at Sylas about to speak when suddenly Sylas’s expression changed. She grabbed his hand and forcefully pulled him back. Her own body, aided by this force, rebounded in front of Swis.
"What are you doi…"
Sylas grabbed the tentacle that reached out from the emptiness. The water lord looked like a monster octopus in a water tank, pulled out of a dark pottery jar with a huge body. The body instantly froze. A black shadow crashed into Leunen with an unusually strong force. The sharp dagger even pierced through the ice barrier. With a roar, Leunen quickly changed from a solid state to a liquid state. A wave of heat surged, and the unknown attacker was lifted by the air wave, screaming and retreating.
The "shrapnel" was exposed. The shrapnel has very strong reactivity, and if exposed directly to the air, it will burn and turn into a monster that continuously releases lava. But just now, the dagger pierced through Leunen and directly touched the shrapnel. The cunning water lord took advantage of it and exploded. Its invisible body turned into "splashing boiling water" and sprayed out.
There was still a small mass of water wrapped around it, which was the last bit of Leunen’s body. However, it couldn’t wrap around the hot Fire Lord shrapnel at all. The water was constantly heated, turning into steam, and the surroundings became misty, making it impossible to see anything clearly.
Sylas gave Luna a push and whispered, "Run forward, don’t look back!" Without a word, Luna grabbed her hand and cast a teleportation spell, instantly leaving the crossroads and entering an alley.
Fortunately, it was still a familiar place, but running was not her strong suit. Luna held her skirt and ran for a while, panting, and asked, "Are we okay leaving them behind?"
"Run fast, don’t stop…"
Luna suddenly turned her head, "Swis!? Why is it you?!"
