Hmm… this probably shouldn’t be considered my fault.
I didn’t tell Leisha to go get a boyfriend.
I just gently guided her to actively integrate into the group.
This is also a good thing for Leisha’s future.
“I, I understand. Thank you, Your Highness the Princess.”
Leisha lowered her head shyly, her face flushed red all the way to the tips of her ears.
“Now that you understand, go and try your best to blend in with them. Do your best! I’ll be silently supporting you from behind!”
Yishabeila patted Leisha’s shoulder, encouraging her.
Leisha raised her bun-adorned head again, her blue eyes filled with determination as if she had made some major decision.
“I won’t betray the trust Your Highness the Princess has placed in me…”
She took a deep breath and actively walked towards a group of girls to one side, her heart involuntarily thumping.
Then… she plunged right into the midst of a few girls she got along with fairly well.
She began trying hard to understand their conversation topics.
Seeing her scheme succeed, Yishabeila covered her mouth with satisfaction and laughed, her golden hair cascading around her waist trembling with her mirth.
The noble, sharp image of the princess was nowhere to be seen.
If anyone had been present, they would surely have been stunned by this princess’s beauty, moving as the bright moon.
Meanwhile, Ailundun, who had jogged all the way to the entrance of the Examination Hall with Luofulei in tow, was completely unaware that Luofulei, whose wrist he was holding, was gradually developing murderous intent.
He first glanced at the sign on the Examination Hall, revealing a brilliant smile, then turned back to Luofulei and said:
“Look, the Magitech Institute’s Examination Hall is here. I originally wanted to give you a surprise. I truly didn’t expect you would also come to apply for the Magitech Institute, Miss Ailande.”
“Indeed, given your knowledge of Magic Engineering, getting into the Weierdun Empire Academy shouldn’t be difficult, right?”
He couldn’t help but once again marvel at his own effort and cleverness.
See, he had successfully changed fate once more.
Successfully avoided the historic meeting between Luofulei and a certain princess.
Perhaps the future would change because of this, and the princess wouldn’t become Luofulei’s cream puff.
Sigh, he had really worried himself sick for this world.
The peace organization of this world really should give him an award.
Hmm… if there was one.
Luofulei struggled to put on a kind smile, hiding her killing intent.
She had to hold back.
Killing someone inside the academy would be troublesome.
Even now, she still didn’t know if Ailundun was doing this accidentally or on purpose.
Most crucially… how did the other party recognize her?
“Hmm? It’s quite something that you knew I was coming to the Magitech Institute, this classmate. I wonder if you’ve mistaken me for someone else?”
This was the first time Ailundun was seeing the true appearance of the true female lead, Ailande.
The girl’s face was extremely delicate, her cheeks full, her skin white as snow, her nose tip small and firm, like a piece of exquisite mutton-fat jade meticulously carved by a craftsman.
Not a trace of the marks left by years of a wandering life could be seen on her.
A pity.
If he hadn’t noticed that the girl’s lips were now trembling slightly with anger.
Ailundun’s attention would probably have been captivated by this face the whole time.
The two stood quietly at the Examination Hall door for several seconds.
Accompanied by the sound of footsteps approaching from not far away.
This awkward atmosphere was briefly interrupted.
Ailundun shook his head in confusion, re-examining the girl before him.
He rubbed his eyes, somewhat disbelieving.
“I’m… I’m very sorry. You look so much alike, especially the aura you both carry. I seem to have mistaken you for a friend of mine.”
Luofulei remained silent for two seconds, not speaking, just quietly listening to him.
“I’m truly sorry, especially this grey robe, it’s exactly the same as one belonging to a friend of mine named Ailande…”
He knew his excuse was very unconvincing, but Ailundun still forced himself to say it.
“So… when did you recognize me?”
Luofulei let out a soft sigh, looking at him with a death glare.
“Alright, fine. Actually, I added a little computer accessory… uh, something with sleep-aiding properties to your black tea. You know, I drank it too. That tea also has some effects that enhance the five senses. From that moment on, I was particularly impressed by your aura.”
Ailundun said helplessly.
At least now, he knew hiding was useless.
A shame.
He still wanted to see Luofulei’s expression when she suddenly saw him at the academy.
No helping it.
This was also a choice one sometimes had to make to change the world.
His sacrifice was simply too great.
“So it was from that time after all…”
Luofulei, as always, showed little expression and didn’t reveal any particular thoughts, but the hostility in her eyes involuntarily dissipated quite a bit.
“I’m sorry. I shouldn’t have deceived you. But I saw you were too exhausted back then, so I thought to let you rest first. It was my own presumptuous decision. If you still hold a grudge, I can write you a formal letter of apology.”
The corners of her eyes involuntarily drooped slightly.
She seemed somewhat accepting of Ailundun’s explanation.
She could sense it.
Ailundun… wasn’t lying.
“No need. I deceived you too. Consider it even. My real name isn’t Ailande. As you can see, I am Luofulei.”
Ailundun put on a surprised expression, but he quickly adjusted and smiled:
“Is that so? No wonder you possess such astonishing knowledge of Magic Engineering. But I don’t care what identity Miss Ailande holds. It’s not important to me…”
Luofulei took all this in.
The corners of her eyes twitched slightly.
“So, how did you come to this academy… No, that’s not important anymore. I’m no longer your teacher.”
Luofulei fell silent again for two seconds, as if pondering what her current relationship with Ailundun even was.
For a moment, she couldn’t think of a good way to phrase her question.
Did she even have the right to ask him so many things?
What she disliked most was facing a sudden, unfamiliar relationship inserted into her life and not knowing how to deal with it.
“Hmm…”
Ailundun nodded thoughtfully.
“After learning the Magic Engineering knowledge you taught, I tried applying to this academy’s Magitech Institute.”
“So… this is the dream you spoke of.”
Luofulei suddenly felt a sense of having been set up, feeling somewhat helpless.
“Right. Barring any accidents, I should have passed the initial entrance test. Next, as long as I smoothly pass the academy’s main examination, I’ll be classmates with Miss Luofulei.”
Ailundun’s face showed a slight smile as he continued.
Leaving Luofulei speechless again, not knowing what she was thinking, her brows softening with a touch of gentleness.
She would actually be classmates with Ailundun from now on?
Actually… it wasn’t as bad as she imagined.
At least she didn’t dislike the idea at this moment.
Just then, Ailundun looked up at the academy’s unique, enormous Clock Tower and saw it was already 5:32 PM.
He lowered his head to look at Luofulei, pointed at the Examination Hall’s door plaque, and asked for her opinion.
“By my estimate, my test results should be out by now. Want to go check together? You probably need to take a test too. If we have time, we could even stroll around the academy.”
He remembered the new student tests had clear time regulations, ending at 6:00 PM.
After six, no matter how urgent, it was outside the working hours of the academy teachers.
This testing period lasted for four days in total.
After four days, based on the test results, students confirmed to have examination qualifications would then uniformly undergo the real academy examination, truly deciding who would enter the Weierdun Empire Academy.
He had initially doubted whether such a system wouldn’t be too rushed, until he saw some academy teachers directly using Magitech Institute instruments to grade papers.
Then he smiled, relieved.
Indeed, no matter which world, laziness is the primary productive force.
