I love time travel the most!

Oh well, it doesn't matter whether it's there or not. Anyway, it's another day of Liu Zi dragging four others along as her legs.

Looking around, everything was in a mess.

Getting caught would be troublesome; I need to get back before the academy finds out.

slip away.

Chapter 156 Everyone has a bright future

Take care of Bronson, save the orphanage from being abandoned, then act as if nothing happened and quietly return to the academy as a good boy.

Just when Kobayashi thought he had been very discreet, two people who shouldn't have been there appeared.

Kimberly retorted without holding back, "Isn't this the currently popular Aqua Pontifex and one of the thirteen strongest members of the academy, Sacred Blaze?"

What are you two doing here? Arms around each other, when did you two become so close? Or did you two end up having a fight and developing some kind of... indescribable bond?

The teacher was very angry, and with a pearl-colored ponytail that couldn't be hidden behind her, Kobayashi knew that this matter couldn't be fooled anymore.

"Who's on good terms with him!"

Loki gave Xiaolin a disdainful push, but he was too badly injured to move him. His weak appearance was more like a spoiled child.

Kimberly adjusted her glasses and said, "You wouldn't...?"

"No! It's absolutely not what you think!" Kobayashi quickly denied, while yelling at Loki, "You idiot! Why don't you just say we're good friends? That would clear our names!"

"How could this be!" Loki pointed around, as if to say there was no reason to argue.

"Just say they're gangsters fighting!"

"Then how did the two of us end up here?"

"I didn't notice I'd wandered here while admiring the moon."

"Then why are your clothes all tattered?"

"I accidentally fell off the wall."

"You rascal... I really shouldn't entrust my sister to someone as smooth-talking as you!"

Kobayashi's excuses were varied and numerous. Given Frey's extremely naive personality, she would definitely be completely fooled and would even continue to firmly trust him in the end.

As the younger brother, he would never allow his sister to have contact with this kind of man!

"No, no... Loki, you can't, fight." Frey saw the two heads colliding and wanted to step forward to persuade them, but their powerful aura made her afraid to approach.

In the end, Kimberly stepped in.

"Alright, that's enough for you two. Judging from your energetic appearance, you don't seem to need any medical treatment."

“I’m fine, but he…”

Kobayashi glanced at Loki with disdain, expressing doubt about his claim to be the strongest of the thirteen.

Loki clenched his fists, furious, and looked up at Frey, saying, "Listen to me, this guy clearly has a move that can... Waaaaah! Waaaah! Waaaah!"

Before he could finish speaking, his mouth was covered. Xiaolin didn't give him a chance to complain. She quickly changed the subject.

"Um... Professor, Frey, what are you two doing here?"

"Actually..."

Then, Frey explained in a low voice.

Two hours ago.

Frey, still in the infirmary, tiptoed out of the ward. Before her were four beds separated by curtains, but there was no sign of any injured person on them.

"If you're looking for that idiot, he's not here."

"—!"

Frey was startled when she suddenly heard a sound behind her.

He quickly turned his head away.

She saw a beautiful girl sitting in the corner of the ward, with a small dragon riding on her head.

"Hmm... Tyrannosaurus Rex."

"Humph."

Charlotte first gave her usual cold snort, then paused, her cheeks slightly flushed, and asked in a low voice, "Your dog, um... how is it?"

"Well……"

Frey lowered her head and clutched her skirt tightly.

The unease she had managed to suppress was rekindled, and she could no longer hold back her tears, saying timidly, "If the rabbi dies... I... I'll be all alone..."

"You're not alone. You've never been alone from the beginning."

An unexpected remark made Frey look up.

Charlotte pouted, a little annoyed, and continued, "Don't you have someone important who puts your affairs first and thinks about you?"

For some reason, Frey sensed a hint of grievance and a touch of bitterness in his voice.

But she didn't understand what the other person meant.

Charlotte sighed and said, "It seems those who possess it will never understand. More important than that, we're still talking about that idiot."

Where...did he go?

"Who knows? He's probably thief somewhere in an orphanage right now."

"An orphanage?"

It took Frey a long time to finally understand what that sentence meant, and she asked with slight emotional fluctuation, "W-why?"

"Yes, I really want to know why." Charlotte shook her head in frustration, startling Frey into taking a step back.

She paused and then said, "But that's just the kind of person he is. He can't stand seeing weak people crying and begging for help; he's a weakling."

Although he belittled that person to the point of worthlessness, his eyes revealed a gentle light.

"There was no need for him to put himself in such a dangerous situation, and he even ran out of the academy with an automaton. There should be a limit to how reckless he is! If the guards or professors find out, it'll all be over—"

"Unfortunately, we already know that."

The sudden sound and those words terrified Charlotte and Frey.

Kimberly stood at the entrance of the ward, not in her usual white dress, but draped in a luxurious black cloak with gold trim that she had never seen before, giving her an air of mystery like a witch.

"Professor! Your outfit?"

"Dressing up? Of course, it's because I'm going out. The professors at the academy have a supervisory responsibility, so I have to go and teach those two idiots a lesson."

Kimberly was talking about Kobayashi!

Charlotte and Frey looked at each other in bewilderment.

Kimberly closed her eyes slightly and said, "Oh my, you two seem quite interested. If you can keep a few promises, I can take you there too. How about it, Charlotte? You seem to care a lot about that man, and you two seem to have a good relationship."

"Why, why, why do I have such a good relationship with that idiot?!"

"Then...aren't you going?"

"...I won't go."

Charlotte hesitated for a moment, then shook her head firmly and replied, "I won't go. Because I trust him."

"Unfounded trust, how loving!" Kimberly teased.

The proud girl immediately bristled, vehemently denying it: "No, no, no! I wasn't talking about that idiot, I was talking about believing in the effectiveness of the defensive talisman!"

Seeing that Charlotte refused, Kimberly asked Frey again.

"Frei, what are your plans?"

"I……"

Frey looked towards the infirmary next to the ward. Rabbi was still resigned; his condition might suddenly worsen.

But even so!

I still have an obligation to personally witness the extraordinary feat that Kobayashi is about to accomplish.

Thinking of this, the frail girl resolutely raised her head and said:

"I want to go!"

"...So, you came to the orphanage with Professor Kimberly?" Kobayashi's expression was a little strange.

Frey thought Kobayashi was angry, so she lowered her head and didn't dare to look at him. She moved her mouth for a long time but couldn't say anything.

But that makes sense, otherwise she wouldn't be here.

Loki got angry too.

I'm angry at Frey.

"You idiot, if you're so scared, then don't come here. You're just getting in the way and I have to take care of you... Hey, don't cry, don't cry!"

His usual sharp-tongued, foul-mouthed, and rude image crumbled instantly upon seeing tears streaming down his sister's face.

Loki wanted to comfort Frey, but had no idea how.

He no longer needed to pretend in front of his father, but the normal relationship between the siblings could never be restored.

Frey couldn't stop crying, wiping her tears as she sobbed softly, "But Loki... Loki... you're hurt... I... it's all my fault..."

"Hey, don't cry so hard."

Loki sighed.

Seeing this, Kobayashi decided to help the siblings and teased them, saying, "Oh, Loki, you actually made your sister cry! You irresponsible brother, how dare you call me scum! You should just kill yourself as an apology. If it were me, I would have put my hand on Frey's head and gently comforted her."

"you……"

Loki looked at Kobayashi with a mixture of anger and gratitude, then slowly raised his hand, pausing in mid-air.

Ugh--

There seemed to be a sigh as a hand gently rested on Frey's head. The tall and strong younger brother finally stopped being sarcastic and arrogant, and whispered words of comfort to his short and timid older sister.
