I materialized a sci-fi fortress in a magical world.

Luo Yue spent almost the entire rest of his journey with the Purple Lily School, and set off early the next morning to leave the soon-to-be-abandoned town, forming a long convoy of several carriages.

Without the Night Banquet, this place loses its meaning. Those beautiful villas and manors, that artificial island in the lake, will soon gather dust and fall into ruin.

Luo Yue's journey was not very smooth, as nobles would often come up to him wanting to get to know him.

Now he has become quite famous in these noble circles. Even if these people don't know the inside story or what mysterious existence he is, Luo Yue's performance alone is enough to attract attention.

First, he achieved a 30-game winning streak in the Endless Arena, demonstrating a strength beyond his peers. Then, at the critical moment when the secret realm went out of control, he led everyone to turn the tide and successfully escape, thus gaining the favor of the Great Witch.

Such a performance, even if it wasn't from nobles or royalty, piqued the interest of other nobles, and some even came to promote their own daughters and sisters.

But Odo blocked all of these people, saving Royo a lot of trouble.

The biggest trouble, in particular, came from the classical school, who showed an unusually strong interest in Royo and practically tried to abduct him, almost leading to a direct conflict between the two sides.

In the end, it was only when Odo unleashed his most powerful magical artifact, the witch's hat, that the Classical School members were forced to retreat, forced to watch with resentment as the Purple Lily's convoy swaggered away.

Those from the liberal school of thought were somewhat puzzled and curiously approached to ask:

"What secrets does that kid hold? Why are both of your families so concerned, and even the Great Witch is willing to intervene on his behalf? Is it simply because he might have connections to the royal family?"

"Ha~ You even have to ask such a simple question? Are your brains filled with dog shit?"

"You bastard! Want to fight?"

As a conflict was about to break out between the two sides, Grand Duke Anderse, the master of the house, simply stood on the balcony and watched from afar, a complex smile on his lips.

"Shouldn't we try to dissuade them?"

His butler asked from the side.

"There's no need for that. Let them fight if they want. Even if they tear this place down, it doesn't matter. They've been fighting for years anyway."

"Alright... but I'm still a little confused. The classical school has always been arrogant, so why are they so concerned about this young man? He's not even a nobleman..."

"Do you know how many people the Great Witch has favored or even endorsed since founding her school of thought?"

"this……"

"There wasn't a single one, until this kid showed up."

The steward's expression changed slightly at the Duke's answer. He recalled the empty promise the Duke had made to Luo Yue the night before and became even more confused about the Duke's actions.

Since he's such a young man, shouldn't we try our best to win him over?

Although he had a close relationship with Lemir, was one woman enough?

But the Grand Duke didn't explain further; instead, he changed the subject and asked:

"Do you think my restless daughter-in-law can adapt to the Purple Lily Academy?"

"You want to send her to the academy? But wouldn't that...?"

"Interesting, isn't it? Alright, let's bring the classical scholars over here. I'd like to continue that less-than-pleasant topic from before."

........................

"Junior, is the occult really that fascinating?"

"Hmm~ Although it's a bit obscure at first, it's quite interesting if you can be patient."

Royo gave a brief reply to Lemir, then continued to pretend to be engrossed in reading, though he had actually entered a meditative state, waiting for Serishina and the others to appear.

According to the itinerary he discussed with Odo last night, he will first go back to Maple Leaf City to handle things there, then go back to the town to pay off the debt, and finally tidy up the old drunkard's mage tower before preparing to head to the academy.

Having a month to handle these trivial matters should be enough; there's no particular rush.

When Lemir learned that Royo had been chosen by the Great Witch, he was happy for his future, but he could not hide the disappointment in his smile.

Once Luo Yue goes to the academy, the two of them will have less time to spend together...

Moreover, I had heard a long time ago that there were quite a few bad women in the college, and I was worried that the junior students might be bullied.

She had considered going with them, but unfortunately, it wasn't possible.

The academy's admission standards are quite strict; applicants must either have great talent, a good family background, or high achievements.

Even if Lemir meets all three requirements, given her status as a close confidante of the Grand Duke, she still wouldn't be able to go...

The relationship between supernatural powers and secular regimes is fraught with complex entanglements of interests, which are difficult to explain in a few words. However, one basic principle remains unchanged: once you have chosen a side, don't even think about betraying your own side.

Besides, the Duke treated her well, and she couldn't bring herself to do anything against her conscience.

Then I'll just have to make the most of this time and get closer to my junior.

But as soon as Luo Yue got into the carriage, he ran off to the mind space to deliver jewelry to another woman.

"Mentor, what do you think of this?"

Luo Yue handed over a necklace that he thought was quite pretty, which he didn't know had come from someone's luggage.

Serishina took it, examined it carefully, and her beautiful blue eyes lit up slightly.

"Hmm? It's beautiful and exquisite. It must have been made by a highly skilled craftsman, right?"

"Then let's give it to our mentor."

"Huh?"

Serishina was stunned for a moment, a blush quickly spreading across her beautiful face, and a conflicted expression appeared on her face.

After a long pause, she finally spoke:

"You... why would you think of giving me this? Even if you're a familiar being, we're still teacher and student!"

As she spoke, she put the necklace back into the jewelry box and pushed it back in front of Luo Yue.

"I can't accept this."

Luo Yue had been keeping both his accounts active, so he could clearly see Celishina's expression and reaction, which puzzled him for a moment.

Is there something wrong with giving a necklace as a gift?

And it wasn't just a simple gift; I wanted to ask her if she had any channels for disposing of stolen goods...

He thought that since the beautiful teacher was so pretty, had such a good temperament, and was so capable, she must know a lot of rich women and socialites, right?

If we can make a connection, we should be able to exchange these jewels for something else.

Unfortunately, I was rejected.

At this moment, Don Quixote, who appeared a little later, also appeared in the club's lobby and witnessed this scene. He then approached and curiously inquired.

Luo Yue thought for a moment, then switched to private chat mode and told him about what had happened before.

Don Quixote's reaction after hearing this was also somewhat strange.

"You actually want to give her something so expensive? Isn't she your mentor? Do you really want to...?"
