Don’t Confiscate My Citizenship

Chapter 42 Lanci Law Firm

It was close to 4:30 in the afternoon, and the afternoon sun had already tilted down from high in the sky. Through the tall floor-to-ceiling windows, it slanted on one side of the classroom. The color of the light became deeper, with an orange-red gold color, adding to the classroom atmosphere. A softness.

The tabletop, the empty chairs, and the steps all reflected a dim light, as if they were quietly telling something about time.

 In the back row of the classroom, behind the empty long wooden table, there were only two people, Hyperion and Lanci.

Hyperion didn’t know why Lanqi was looking at her.

However, after thinking about it, she still met Lan Qi's gaze, stared at his beautiful green pupils, and advised:

“Lan Qi, please stop meddling in my affairs from now on. There is no need for you to get involved…”

However, after Lan Qi heard it, he was not moved by it. He just blinked his eyes, his eyes calm.

“I won’t see my friends being bullied, and when Modan called me a ‘bad lawyer’ earlier, didn’t you also want to defend me?”

 Lanqi smiled and always responded to kindness.

“Anyway, if you need any legal help, you can come to me at No. 101, the dormitory building of Xianzhiyuan. When I pass the law exam, I can list [Lanqi Law Firm] next to the dormitory door.”

　　　…”

Hyperion once again fell into a state of being unable to respond to any words.

 …

 Lanchi’s words were overheard by other students.

Even though no one bothered Lan Qi, he was too tired to talk to strangers.

 But many people are pricking up their ears to pay attention to what Lanqi and Hyperion will say next.

The school rules of Ikerita School are actually very humane.

Because there are often students with various unique skills, such as blacksmiths, engravers, painters, chefs, pharmacists, card makers, etc., their dormitories will become as popular as the shops. There are often students of all ages from various schools. Students are famous for visiting.

The school acquiesces to this kind of social interaction in diverse campus life.

 But the law firm…

 It seems that I have never heard of it before.

　Who the **** needs a lawyer in school?

 This is a magic school, not a law school!

 …

The branches and leaves of the trees on campus swayed gently in the breeze, and their shadows jumped on the classroom floor, like a soundless dance.

Some students were walking back and forth on the paths on campus, and distant laughter and conversations floated into the classroom from time to time, making time illusory and at the same time extremely real.

 Finally.

　After a lot of tangles, Hyperion nodded and accepted Lan Qi’s sincere kindness.

“If I can find my father, I will definitely ask him to use the highest courtesy to ask you to become the advisor of the Duke of Aransal’s family.”

Hyperion's expression was a solemn promise.

 Although it is more likely to be a blank check, it represents Hyperion's attitude—

 She recognized Lanci as a friend, and he was also a friend of the Alansal family.

 As for the Alansal family, they must repay their kindness!

“Advisor of the Duke’s family? If it really becomes the case, it’s really a famous name. My father knows that I am so successful in the royal capital, he will probably have a convulsion...”

 Lan Qi smiled when he heard this. He didn’t care whether the promise could be fulfilled or not. He just sighed at his new friend.

　　"Huberlian, although you always appear to be cold and ruthless, you are actually surprisingly kind at heart."

"What's the meaning."

Hyperion didn’t understand why Lanqi said that.

"Because what you have always wanted is not to inherit the family, but to find your father."

 Lanqi explained with a smile.

　　　…”

　　After hearing what Lan Qi said, Hyperion's eyes gradually lowered, as if she was gradually immersed in inescapable sad thoughts, and she couldn't say anything else for a long time.

 Until a little while later.

　　…Father, he will be fine.”

Hyperion's expression still seemed unmoved, but her mood obviously became quite complicated. She risked her life and finally investigated some clues related to her father's disappearance, but the result only vaguely pointed to the Creja Empire in the south.

 She is too weak now.

Not only is it weak but weak.

It is still not clear who is the enemy, friend or insider in this royal capital.

Going to the Kraiyu Empire to investigate alone will only lead to death.

 She must become stronger quickly. Maybe her father can still be saved, but she just needs to find him as soon as possible...

However, Hyperion will never tell Lan Qi these things.

 She could not involve Lan Qi any further.

“Are you considering playing in the Shadow World? Let’s form a team to give the Shadow World a little shock.”

Lanqi saw that Hyperion fell into silence and didn't speak for a long time. He finally asked tentatively.

 Among the people he knows now, Hyperion is undoubtedly the most cooperative teammate.

Not only does he have experience in cooperation, Hyperion is also very reliable in previous battles.

This is exactly why they were able to cooperate to clear the super double version [Infinite Phantom Canyon] that day.

Hyperion's fingers froze on the page, her eyes stared blankly at Lanqi, and her mouth opened slightly, as if she wanted to say something or want to breathe fresh air.

“…Do you want to fight with me?”

 Finally, she cleared some of her thoughts and asked in a daze, but she was still trying to understand Lan Qi's sudden news and this unrealistic invitation.

"certainly."

 Lanqi’s tone was certain.

Hyperion lowered her head, stared at the writing on the table, bit her lip, and seemed very confused.

 The reason why Lan Qi is so friendly to her is because he doesn't know yet that she is half demon.

 She didn't know how to speak and confessed to Lan Qi.

Even though the friendship at the moment might just be a bubble accompanied by phantoms, which could burst and dissipate at any time, she still didn't know how to pop it with her own hands.

 “You can regret it at any time.”

Hyperion lowered her gaze and said in a low voice.

 It is equivalent to agreeing to Lan Qi’s invitation to form a team.

 However, she also accepts Lanci’s unilateral remorse at any time.

"I knew you would agree! Why don't we take advantage of the fact that the Magic Engineering Institute has not finished get off work yet and quickly challenge the Shadow World? I really can't stand this class anymore. Which **** added it to the required courses this year? I can't learn "Casting Spells without Chanting" at all!"

When Lan Qi thought of this morning's class, he couldn't help but feel his brain tingling and complained.

He did not expect that the courses at the Sage Academy would be so difficult, or that his talent for practical magic was simply too poor.

Especially this course "Spellcasting without Chanting", Lan Qi was tormented. It was obvious to him that this required course was not included in the previous syllabus, but it just happened to be added in this year's curriculum change!

"today?"

Hyperion murmured in confusion.

She obviously didn’t expect Lan Qi’s mobility to be so wild.

This was much more surreal than a quick trip, and her heart suddenly started beating wildly in her chest!

 For a moment, she didn't know what expression to express and what voice to use in response.

 “Yes, right now.”

 Lan Qi stretched hard, as if stretching his muscles.

 “Want to come with me?”

 When he leaned back in the chair and looked at Hyperion again, an absolutely confident smile appeared on his face.
