He could now use this external cheat with complete confidence and boldness.
However, after glancing over the questions, he found the initial test to be quite simple and decided not to use the Capable Glasses.
Recalling the tutoring he had received from Ailande, Ailundun disdained using such methods.
Hmm… The formal exam was a different matter, to be discussed later.
Time passed accompanied by the rustle of pen on paper.
The attendant had already started yawning.
To keep himself from immediately falling asleep, he began propping up his cheek with his hand.
He didn’t seem to fear the examinee cheating, possessing absolute confidence in himself.
Ailundun quickly finished answering the questions and submitted his paper almost simultaneously.
The attendant took the paper, gave it a brief glance, and revealed a look of surprise.
He didn’t say anything, though, simply returning a friendly smile to Ailundun.
“Mister Ailundun, the results of the test need to be evaluated jointly by myself and Professor Fu Ke. During this time, if you have nothing else to do, you can wander around the academy. Come back at 3 PM to collect the test results.”
“Thank you, Mister Attendant.”
Ailundun expressed his gratitude sincerely.
Having finished the exam, Ailundun did as the attendant suggested and began wandering aimlessly around the Weierdun Empire Academy.
During his idle stroll inside the academy, Ailundun had nothing to do.
Bored out of his mind, he was just about to head back to the Examination Hall entrance, find a random spot, and take a shallow nap to pass the boring time.
Right then, several shouts from a distance caught his attention.
He immediately stopped and looked towards the crowd.
Hmm.
It was just that certain golden-haired loser who had unlocked a special defeat CG.
Nothing surprising.
The figure held his attention for less than two seconds.
Soon, he turned his head again, slightly lifting his gaze.
He wanted to find something else interesting.
This slight lift of his gaze instantly imprinted a gray-white figure onto his pupils.
A flash of astonishment passed through his eyes.
No way?
He could run into her here too?
Ahead, around a graceful figure, were many students clad in the Weierdun Empire Academy uniform, looking with pious and fervent eyes in a certain direction.
Though… most of them were girls.
It seemed the princess was quite respected and popular among the female students.
Some well-mannered noble students had already begun performing the Weierdun Empire’s unique noble salute.
Expressing their respect for the person before them.
“Your Highness, please allow me to show you around the academy.”
The noble lady Leisha took the initiative to volunteer.
She seemed to have started a trend, as everyone else quickly followed suit, extending invitations to the princess one after another.
“Would you like me to explain campus life to you?”
“Being able to see Your Highness, my luck must be very good today.”
“Your Highness, I must insist on escorting you to the Women’s Dormitory.”
“Yes, if Your Highness is alone on campus, what if someone with ill intentions appears?”
“Those bastards from the Knight Institute… how could they leave Your Highness alone??”
These students gathered together, forming a huge concentric circle that tightly surrounded the figure in the middle.
At the very center was a figure being treated like the moon among stars.
Though wearing the same Weierdun Empire Academy uniform, on her it exuded an aura of noble flawlessness.
She was as warm and captivating as spring sunlight, her signature golden hair cascading to her waist with her movements.
Her delicate oval face seemed kissed by the Creator, half-perfect.
Normally, her every move should appear composed and convincing.
But at this moment, she clearly felt somewhat annoyed, a trace of weariness well-hidden by her exquisite oval face.
She paused, seemingly pondering the usual royal phrases for refusal without offending.
Hmm, if she could incidentally raise these people’s favorability, that would be even better.
She gently lifted her gray-black long skirt, expressing her apology, paired with a perfect, impossible-to-refuse smile.
Fully displaying the good upbringing formed through her long-term royal etiquette training.
“My apologies, everyone. Today is my first day of life at the academy. I understand your kindness, but please don’t pay excessive attention to my daily life. Just treat me as an ordinary person, no need for overly special treatment.”
“As for the Knight Order… I personally requested they stop following me. I believe with the academy’s security capabilities, nothing could possibly happen to me. Please don’t blame them.”
“I see, but I still cannot understand their actions.”
Leisha said indignantly.
“Then at least let me escort you to your dormitory.”
Yishabeila slightly frowned, letting out an almost imperceptible sigh.
She knew things would turn out like this.
Though she could understand.
This country’s system was just like this.
The higher the noble rank, the more respect they held for the princess, the symbol of imperial authority.
But when truly encountering situations beyond her control, she still felt a sense of defeat.
It seemed… she was still far from sufficient as a princess.
She could only entangle with these people a bit longer.
If only someone would come to her rescue now…
On the other side, from the moment Ailundun spotted a certain gray-white figure, it took his brain only ten seconds to react and his limbs to act.
That’s right, this figure was Ailande.
No… from now on, she should be called Luofulei.
He swiftly darted in front of Luofulei, taking advantage of the girl’s obvious lack of reaction.
He firmly grabbed the girl’s hand and, at an extremely fast speed, charged towards the Examination Hall direction blocked by the princess’s group.
“Huh?!”
Luofulei’s wrist stiffened for an instant.
Her beautiful eyes stared blankly at the boy before her.
Her mouth slightly opened, as if wanting to say something, yet also seeming somewhat bewildered by this sudden turn of events.
Campus leaves fluttered, a gentle breeze swaying the girl’s gray robe.
The afternoon sun had already slanted down from the high sky, casting an orange-red glow, adding a touch of softness to the warm moment.
On the vast marble floor, only the shadows of the boy and girl sprinting remained.
Ailundun’s speed was simply too fast, leaving the utterly confused girl completely unaware of what was happening.
The wind generated by their dash blew off the gray hood covering the girl’s head, revealing a stunningly beautiful face completely different from the one during their last tutoring session.
She never imagined.
Her second encounter with Ailundun would be in this manner.
The two charged directly towards the gap blocked by the princess’s group.
Ailundun shamelessly bumped his way through, so fast that the female student at the very front was knocked over with a whoosh before she could react.
The remaining students finally reacted, actively making way.
Ailundun forcefully carved out a new path.
Everyone was left somewhat baffled by this sudden scene.
All eyes were now fixed on the two figures resolutely charging towards the Examination Hall until their backs disappeared from sight.
Only then, following their departure, did exclamations of surprise and curiosity come one after another.
“Who was that who just rushed past?”
“That boy was so handsome.”
“Did anyone see that girl’s appearance just now? It’s the first time I’ve seen a face that doesn’t lose to Her Highness’s.”
Some students’ eyes sparkled with excitement.
Even some who had been focused on the princess began gathering together, joining the heated discussion circle.
Romance gossip was always a hot topic.
Seeing a scene straight out of a manga unfold right beside them, especially with the boy and girl’s excellent looks.
Everything matched their inner fantasies perfectly.
How could they not get excited?
The scene fell silent for a moment.
Then erupted into fervent discussion.
“Were they going on a date?”
“Then why were they running so fast?”
“Don’t know. Probably afraid of being discovered by Headmaster Paerwa?”
“But hasn’t the Weierdun Empire Academy always advocated for free love?”
“…”
Even Leisha, a staunch defender of the princess and a member of the singles group, couldn’t help but show a hint of envy in the corner of her eye, though her mouth remained stubborn as she snorted coldly.
“Hmph, shameless! People like that ruin our academy’s atmosphere the most!”
“Right, Your Highness…?”
“Leisha, the Weierdun Empire Academy has always advocated for free love. Their actions do not violate academy regulations.”
Yishabeila’s beautiful eyes brightened, gaining an unusual sparkle.
She didn’t know why things happened to be so coincidental.
Just when she wanted to escape these people, someone carved a path for her.
It seemed the Goddess of Luck was still on her side.
Hmm, then she wished the just-seen couple a happy union for a hundred years.
She hoped she wouldn’t regret today’s words in the future…
Recalling everything that just happened, she looked at the crowd filled with a strong desire to discuss.
From this moment on, it seemed no one still cared about her, the princess.
Their eyes held only a thirst for gossip.
Even Leisha… seemed the same.
She blinked her beautiful eyebrows, a flash of liveliness and playfulness in her eyes.
She had thought of a good way to escape.
“Leisha, aren’t you planning to get a boyfriend at the academy?”
Hearing this, Leisha’s face flushed instantly red, not understanding why the princess suddenly brought this up.
“Huh?!”
“I… I haven’t considered such things for now.”
“If you don’t get a boyfriend, you might not fit into groups in future academy life.”
Yishabeila pointed towards some groups of girls.
“I-is that so?”
Leisha widened her eyes, muttering softly.
She looked not far away.
Indeed, some girls were discussing terms she completely couldn’t understand.
Actually, she had noticed this before.
She seemed… a bit different from normal girls…
Things like top, bottom, dominant, submissive.
She completely didn’t understand…
Now, reminded by the princess, she couldn’t help but feel a bit worried.
Could it be… really because she didn’t have a boyfriend?
“That’s right. If you don’t actively integrate into groups, you might be left behind.”
Yishabeila said seriously, struggling to hold back her laughter, her gradually uncontrollable lips almost curling into a smile.
