Chapter 45: Miss Li’an, You Wouldn’t Want…

After leaving the Student Council, he returned to the dormitory.

He immediately flipped through the file to find something.

‘Sage Institute, Li’an, currently residing in Room 215, Green Building, accompanied by a housekeeper and two attendants. Specializes in healing magic. Secret Realm challenge count: 0. Entrance examination top ten. Feels inferior to Leilei. Second daughter of the Lei-yadon family. Magical talent and mana level both high, but did not inherit the abilities of the first Duke of Lei-yadon. Currently has an application to join a fourth-year team. Personality… proud. Scratch that—it says “written backwards.” Number of absences… Huh? Skipped all Sage Institute classes on the first day? Whew, so envious…’

Ailundun stared at the last line of the document and couldn’t help but gasp.

‘So this is a real young lady? Skipping all classes on the first day without consequences?’

‘With that kind of power…’

‘Isn’t that more impressive than fighting and killing?’

“This file is so complete. It can’t be an abridged version.”

Ailundun thought for a moment, a hint of a smile appearing in his eyes.

He had never heard of an abridged version of a student file.

He shouldn’t have said Isabella had changed; Isabella was still as unable to refuse people as ever.

He walked out of the dim room and reached the entrance of his own building.

The fresh greenery gave off a fragrant scent.

He walked westward along the stone path until he stopped in front of a building with a similar architectural style.

He looked up and carefully observed the building for a while.

On the top of the building were the two big characters “Green.”

The Empire of Wen’erdun Academy did well in this aspect.

Regardless of whether they were noble ladies or commoners, their accommodations were basically the same without any difference.

There was no discrimination.

He went to the first floor corridor and found the floor where the housekeepers lived.

It was said to be specially set aside for housekeepers; their building also had one.

Ailundun had paid special attention when going downstairs normally, and not many people used it.

After all, knowing wealthy people was a very important thing.

If one wanted to bring a housekeeper and attendants, they only needed to pay extra and they could apply for an empty room.

In this regard, the Empire of Wen’erdun Academy was also very pragmatic.

The one who opened the door was a housekeeper, wearing a neatly pressed blue tailcoat, with every button fastened neatly.

“May I help you, sir?”

The housekeeper asked with a smile.

“I’m looking for Miss Li’an.”

Ailundun smiled.

“Please wait a moment. I need to go upstairs and ask the young lady.”

The housekeeper thought for a moment, then turned and went upstairs.

After a short while, the housekeeper came downstairs and looked at Ailundun with a smile.

“You may go upstairs. The young lady has agreed.”

Ailundun nodded in acknowledgment, turned and walked up the stairs, crossed the corridor, stopped at Room 215, and gently knocked on the door.

The door seemed to be expecting him; it opened almost at the same time he knocked.

Li’an was wearing a silk nightgown with her jet-black hair draped behind her.

Her eyes were drowsy and hazy, as if she hadn’t woken up yet.

But when she looked at Ailundun, she immediately perked up, the corners of her mouth curling slightly with a hint of disdain.

“Finally got dumped? Tell me, how badly were you toyed with?”

As she spoke, she looked at Ailundun’s lowered head, as if he was somewhat sad and upset.

“Uh…”

‘This kid couldn’t actually be here to vent his troubles to me, could he?’

She was silent for a moment, then changed the subject, thinking of a way to be tactful.

To avoid him thinking she looked down on him.

“…Actually, you don’t need to blame yourself too much.”

She never liked to take advantage of someone’s misfortune.

It would make her seem like she enjoyed bullying the weak.

Ailundun lowered his head, but it wasn’t out of sadness or distress.

It was just that when he thought about what he was about to say, he couldn’t help but lose his composure.

“Whew, please let me compose myself first.”

“Mm…”

Li’an frowned, crossed her arms, and leaned against the doorframe.

She wasn’t in a hurry; she could wait for Ailundun.

She also wanted to hear the story of this foolish kid being dumped by the haughty goddess, even though she thought it was stupid.

“Miss Li’an, you wouldn’t want your family to find out that you skipped all your classes on the first day, would you?”

Ailundun slowly raised his head, looked at Li’an, and smiled at the corner of his mouth.

“???”

Li’an abruptly looked at Ailundun.

Her originally hazy eyes instantly widened, and her composure was gone.

She hadn’t expected Ailundun to start with such shocking words.

‘What kind of bizarre development is this?’

This gave her an immediate bad feeling.

“How do you know about this?”

“Routine inspection by the Student Council. Please tell me in detail the reason for your truancy… and also the method.”

Ailundun’s gaze was sincere.

“Oh, the method part is especially important. You need to explain it in detail, for the academy’s future prevention.”

“Heh, you’re from the Student Council? But there’s no badge on your uniform…”

Li’an caught on and sneered.

“Well then…”

Ailundun nodded, as if he had expected Li’an to say that.

He thought for a moment and smiled.

“Provisional inspector.”

“Provisional inspector?! You?”

Li’an looked at Ailundun with suspicion, her eyes somewhat surprised, and looked him up and down.

But Ailundun maintained a completely honest and open demeanor, letting her look, looking very confident.

Now, she wasn’t sure anymore.

‘At the beginning of the semester… it seems they did say something about the Student Council having provisional inspectors.’

“Please, do tell, Miss Li’an.”

Ailundun remained expressionless and continued to pressure her.

“I…”

Li’an’s words got stuck in her throat.

She immediately thought of a possibility.

If the news of skipping all classes on the first day really got to those people in her family, it would be hard for her to skip classes in the future, and also her reputation…

“Fine, I’ll talk.”

She gritted her teeth, looking displeased, and glared at Ailundun.

Ailundun pretended not to see it and kept looking straight at Li’an.

“The academy’s classes are too easy. Isn’t it okay for me to self-study advanced magic courses in my dorm?”

Ailundun nodded, pulled out an engraving pen from his pocket, and slowly wrote it down in his notebook.

A very unique reason for truancy.

“Mm, and the method? How did you bypass the academy department teachers’ checks? Don’t think about lying. The academy actually has ways to find out; this is just to test whether you’re honest, and penalties will be given accordingly.”

Ailundun wasn’t lying about this.

Li’an thought no one had noticed and her method was clever, but the academy had already recorded it.

Watching Ailundun take out the engraving pen, Li’an’s mouth twitched slightly.

Now she was sure that Ailundun was indeed a provisional inspector.

Who would casually pull a pen out of their pocket?

Only those people from the Student Council who have something wrong with their heads!

And Ailundun’s way of speaking… was exactly like them.

“Damn it.”

She cursed inwardly, then bit her lip and hesitated for a moment.
