Chapter 390 I'll Treat You
As the weather turns cooler, the atmosphere in the school becomes more and more heated. Now even after dark, you can still see the magical glow flashing from time to time in the training ground. Many times when Lilith passes by the void beast models erected in the campus, she can see people gathered around, discussing their weaknesses with their teammates, and what tactics to adopt when encountering them.
Lilith's team has also been finalized. In addition to herself, there are of course Lulu, Hannah, Jaina, and their respective guardians, plus Bobby Ian Lucas, and the team of ten is now complete.
Lilith's campus life suddenly fell into a crazy mode. Except for the time outside of classes, she just trained, trained, trained... and watched Lucas go crazy.
Lucas pried open the dragon's mouth for the twentieth time and tried to reach in to grab something. "It's you, right? It must be you, it can only be you? Just confess. Where are you hiding? I'm about to go to the competition with your master, kid, stop making trouble and give it back to me—"
Lucas kept chanting to the elven dragon, whose eyes were watery with sleepiness and whose face was full of innocence. It stuck out its tongue and licked the blue-haired dragon's face.
“Bah! I’m telling you, don’t act pitiful! You’re the only one who could have taken the sword!” Lucas began to hold the elven dragon and shook it continuously, “Spit it out, you big fat winged lizard with a pica addiction! Spit out my treasure!”
"Lucas..." Lilith, a free-range pet owner, felt guilty and decided to save her poor elven dragon from danger. "How many times have you tortured it? The pile of swords is in the room over there. Go and look for it yourself. Maybe you missed it."
"impossible!"
Lucas was beaten up by Leila and suddenly bombarded with money power. His mind was dizzy for several days. When he finally came to his senses, he found that the sword he had been dreaming about was gone!
The sudden bad news almost made him lose his mind again, but he refused to give up the search. It became his regular activity to search the room where weapons were stored every weekend. However, he still had no results. Lucas insisted that his treasure was missing and was not among the pile of swords at all.
He thought about it and came to only one truth - it could only be that the elven dragon who always ate random things had stolen it!
"Spit it out, spit it out!!" Lucas was still fighting with the elf dragon.
In order to prevent the elven dragon's brain from being shaken evenly, Lilith had to grab it and kindly proposed a new hypothesis, "Even if it really ate it, maybe it spit it out long ago? Uh, from the other end--"
"Ah--!!!" Lucas immediately let go of his hand.
The poor elven dragon finally felt the warmth of its master. It clung tightly to Lilith's scabbard and looked at Lucas with its big, round eyes.
"It even laughed at me!" Lucas became even more angry when he saw the elven dragon's sharp eyes!
"Forget it, Lucas. Even without the sword, we can still win the championship!" Lulu jumped over to comfort him.
"Yeah, just pretend it never existed. You just touched it anyway..." Jaina couldn't stand his weird look all day long.
Lucas:…
"Compared to that sword without even a scabbard, isn't the championship reward more tempting?" Hannah, who was originally helping Bobby light up the illumination spell and watching him mend his protective gear, turned her head and said, "I heard that the scale of this year's event is far greater than any previous one."
"That's right!"
Lilith held the elven dragon and hid beside Ian, helping it stay away from Lucas's madness. "We will definitely be the most dazzling team in the College Cup. Just think about it, my friend. How many people from the Gaia Empire are coming for you now! When you become a big star, what sword can you want?"
Lucas finally lost himself in the encouragement and stopped talking about the sword. The world of the elven dragons finally became peaceful and they peacefully entered hibernation within a few days.
………………
But there was one thing that Lilith said that was true. At this moment, there were indeed countless people rushing towards Gloria.
"You guys are going to Goletia too, right?"
In a high-end hotel somewhere, someone enthusiastically spoke to a beautiful woman who was lying on the railing on the second floor in a daze.
There was no emotion in the woman's voice. "Why do you say that?"
"Haha, this winter is exceptionally cold, many people have frozen to death!" The visitor became more enthusiastic when he saw that the woman was willing to talk to him. "The heavy snow has sealed all the civilians in their homes. Those who are still heading in this direction at this time are either going to Highgarden or to Gloria. And you——"
He looked at her calmly. The woman had a slender figure. Although she was wearing dark clothes, if he looked closely, every detail was luxurious. She looked like a noble lady who had come out for fun! Those ladies always liked to do these little tricks that they thought were mysterious.
"You must be here for the Gladia Academy Cup as well, right?"
The woman still had no expression, but she didn't refute either. The man felt that he had guessed right, and there was an uncontrollable sense of pride on his face.
"Praise the Light, what a coincidence! We are here for that competition as well. You must have heard about it, right? This Academy Cup is organized by the princess. We may be able to meet the princess there! However, my beautiful lady, isn't it unsafe for you to travel alone? We can travel together——"
"Feel sorry."
The woman lying on the railing stood up, and the man's eyes followed hers in surprise, rising higher and higher, until...
"--I don't like taking care of children." The hooded lady glanced down at the man one last time, then walked past him towards her room at the end of the corridor.
"God of Light..." The man was stunned for a long while, and then he realized what the woman meant. His face suddenly turned red, and he kept muttering, "Why do women grow so tall? They are just like monsters, so ugly, ouch..."
He staggered after being bumped by someone who was walking hurriedly.
"Sorry." It was also a hooded man. He was very rude and didn't even stop after bumping into someone. Before the man could even see the other person's face clearly, the other person had already waved and ran downstairs.
"Barbarian——" The man failed in his hunt for beauty and was in a terrible mood. He returned to his room cursing.
The streets outside the tavern were already covered with thick snow. The travelers chose to stop here because of the blizzard. The hooded man shivered with cold as soon as he pushed open the door of the tavern. He simply turned around, stepped on the crunching snow, grabbed the wall with one hand, and jumped back into the room on the second floor. Inside the room, the woman who had just been approached was warming herself by the fire.
"Beautiful lady, isn't it unsafe for you to travel alone?" Aryan imitated the man's words in a sarcastic tone, and Giselle was too lazy to even roll her eyes at him.
But two more stiff cards were thrust into her face, and she looked at Aryan impatiently.
"I heard that the tickets for this college cup are very expensive!" Aryan rubbed the two tickets, making a rustling sound.
"I'll treat you, Teacher Giselle."
