Wizard: The exploration panel keeps me pure.

Chapter 194 Insult to Personality

Thinking of everything that had happened, a strange light flashed in Latour's eyes: "Now that you mention it, it does seem somewhat similar~ That old bastard Douglas, I wonder what he's planning. I can't let him trick me behind my back —"

"What! Why? Why did the academy issue the mission so quickly?"

"Yes, Ron, the teacher told me that the academy's tasks for our cohort of students would not be issued until the end of the first year at the very least. But from the end of the assessment until now, only three months have passed."

"It hasn't been that long, we haven't even finished our advanced studies yet, how could the academy possibly send you on such a dangerous mission? Even if you were the top student in the personal assessment, it wouldn't be right. Didn't Lord Latu explain the reason to you?"

Ron sat at the dining table, slowly picking up his knife and fork and carefully cutting off pieces of beef and rat leg from his plate. Then, holding a silver fork in his right hand, he slowly brought the pieces to his mouth.

The two women beside him were somewhat helpless to see him still eating his food at this point without any hurry.

It's like the emperor isn't worried, but the eunuch is.

As Ron listened to the questions from the two women beside him, the worry in their eyes was about to overflow like a flood.

Just as they were about to snatch the knife and fork from Ron's hands, the boy stopped chewing—

He slowly placed the knife and fork on either side of his plate, then picked up a silk napkin from the table to wipe the oil stains from the corners of his mouth before looking back at the two people in front of him.

Fiona and Adele were furious when they saw his actions, especially Fiona, who was used to being straightforward with Ron. She slammed her hand on the table and glared at the young master sitting next to her, as if she would take action if he didn't speak up.

Ron had only intended to tease the two women in front of him, a barely perceptible smile playing on his lips.

Just as he was about to slam his fist on the table and get up to make a move at school, his heart skipped a beat, and he quickly grabbed the girl's slender arm with his right hand.

"Senior, senior, don't be angry. I was just joking with you. Sit down and let me explain."

Fiona just wanted to scare the boy in front of her; after all, some crooked trees need to be pruned.

Pulled by the boy, she naturally sat back down in her seat.

She ignored the boy's hand on her shoulder and instead looked into the boy's eyes, waiting for him to give her an explanation.

Adele ignored their intimate behavior. If it were any other girl, she would have rushed over and separated their intertwined arms. But right now, she clearly had more important things to do and didn't have the mind to care about such trivial matters.

Ron felt a little nervous under the gazes of the two women, but he pretended to be nonchalant and said, "It's nothing really. After all, I've taken so many benefits, so naturally I have to take on more responsibilities. Teacher Latour also told me that the academy has its reasons for doing this, and we apprentices just need to follow orders. Besides, I think this is also a good opportunity to go out and see the world. Staying in the Crimson Tower all day, I feel like I'm going to become useless."

Ron didn't want to tell the two about his conflict with the Ash Wizard, since it wouldn't do anything practical and would only make them worry about him for no reason.

There's no benefit to it, so it's better not to do it at all.

So he just made up a lie in front of the two of them. Although the reason sounded completely untenable, Fiona and Adele exchanged suspicious glances before turning their attention back to Ron.

"Ron, if you have anything to say, you can tell us directly. There's no need to hide it from us. After all, at a time like this, what can't we say? If something happens to you during the mission, we'll all be very worried about you—"

"Yeah, junior, at least we all have teachers who might be able to help you a little. Even if we can't help you at all, at least we'll understand your situation and not worry about you for no reason."

Ron felt a sense of relief as he listened to the two women's words of comfort.

Although these two guys usually don't get along, they actually care about me when it really matters.

Just as he was about to talk about these things, he suddenly heard the two people in front of him ask, "Ron, mission is mission, but you have to be careful when you go out. Don't get seduced by other women, or you know what I'll do."

"Junior, I remember when you left the academy for Nurs City last time, you met a beautiful noble lady, right? I hope you don't bring back a surprise this time!"

Ron, who was just feeling touched, couldn't help but twitch his lips when he heard their words. He didn't know where these two people got the news from. Since they knew about him and that young lady from the Rang family, the news shouldn't have spread so widely in such a remote place as Nuers City. He wondered where these two people had gotten the information.

However, as the saying goes: If you have a clear conscience, you have nothing to fear.

Ron considered himself a decent gentleman. Even when he was alone in a room with that man and woman from that family, even if they were naked in front of him, he had maintained his principles. There was no reason for him to encounter such an accident this time.

As for the matter of Seridwin, he was completely pushed forward by his cheap teacher, and even if he wanted to refuse, he had no choice.

"What kind of person do you two take me for? Do you think I'm the kind of person who can't resist women?"

The two women exchanged a glance, then simultaneously looked at him and nodded.

It was obvious that in their eyes, Ron was such a lecherous person, and this was perhaps what is known as prejudice.

Ron felt deeply hurt. He never expected that he would be so misunderstood by the woman he loved, despite his unwavering commitment to maintaining a high degree of purity in body and mind. How could this not break his heart?

"Alright, enough of that. Even if you don't tell us why the academy assigned you a mission so early, at least tell us what the mission entails."

Fiona seemed to have had enough of the affected expression on her face, and slapped the boy's shoulder irritably before speaking.
