"Hey, have you noticed that there are a lot more people coming here to read lately?" Lin Xueyin felt that the number of people coming to the library to borrow or read books had been increasing day by day, and she didn't understand what was going on.
Speechless, I looked at the culprit who had kept me so busy all day, especially seeing how many people came to her every day with various excuses to ask her about this book or that book.
They've borrowed it so many times, yet they still come back to ask again. It's such an obvious move, only that stupid woman can't see it. We've already seen through their little scheme.
"Phew, I'm exhausted. Why weren't there so many people here before? And why aren't they borrowing books? They're all sitting here reading. It's so strange." Wiping the sweat from her forehead, Lin Xueyin realized that she was probably going to have to finish her classes again today.
"Do you even need to ask, you stupid woman?" Kashar turned her head away unhappily, skipped and hopped to put a book on the bookshelf, then came back and saw Lin Xueyin's innocent little expression. Suddenly, a sense of malice arose in her heart.
If I were to sell this girl's magical image, I might be able to get a good price. If I were to also release information about her recent situation, those people would probably go even crazier.
However, this was just a thought. If those stinky men were to surround Xueyin, she would probably find it unpleasant to watch. Looking at the time, Kasha'er revealed a smile of watching a show.
A bell suddenly rang; it was the lunch bell. Usually, when this bell rang, it meant that the cafeterias in each dormitory were opening for lunch. Sure enough, the girl who had been behind the counter with a gentle smile had lost her composure and was now running out in a panic.
"Kariel, keep an eye on things for me, I'm going to get some food..."
Sure enough, it's still the same. Really, don't they know that the library provides meals every day? They're always rushing out in such a hurry.
"Little sister, you still haven't told Xueyin that the cafeteria provides meals every day?" Kalier shook her head helplessly when she saw the mischievous smile on her younger sister's face.
"Of course, sister, don't you think it's a very happy thing that Xueyin runs back every day like this?"
"How could that be? I've always felt sorry for Xueyin-neechan, okay? She's so gentle, cute, and beautiful, and she's so good to us. I'm only thinking of her because she's so pretty. It wouldn't be good if she gained weight. Let her exercise more."
Completely unaware that she was being watched like a spectator, Lin Xueyin had only one thought on her mind: if she didn't hurry back, the cafeteria would probably run out of food for her.
I rushed to the cafeteria and saw that the cafeteria lady had already prepared a plate of my favorite dishes for me. I quickly went up to thank her.
"You silly girl, why are you always in such a rush? Didn't I tell you that Auntie would get your food for you?"
"Hehe, I was just worried that Auntie would have to wait too long." I took the lunch from the auntie's hand. It was very simple: a piece of bread with some ordinary vegetables and meat stew.
"Mmm...it smells so good." She exaggeratedly took a deep breath, which made the auntie who was serving her food smile.
He quickly waved his hand at her, "You silly girl, go and eat."
Seeing Lin Xueyin happily walk to an empty table and start eating her lunch, he continued to serve food to the students who came later.
Because it is the only college, many students are not from wealthy families; some are simply ordinary students. To ensure they can study in peace, there is a canteen in the dormitory providing basic free food. Of course, wealthy people don't need this.
They would all choose to go to the academy's main dining hall to sample delicacies from all over the country, so the social hierarchy within the academy was also quite pronounced.
While eating the food on her plate, Lin Xueyin thought about the information she had heard about the college. Moreover, most of the dormitories were open to multiple people, and many freshmen chose to rent a room together. Only she, who had come halfway through, had to rent a room by herself.
The thought that the cost of renting a dormitory room plus tuition and food expenses would add up to a lot made Lin Xueyin's heart bleed. She should have lived with Ailiya instead.
However, thinking about Arya's well-proportioned figure, I suddenly realized that if I lived with her, I would probably turn into a wolf.
Shaking his head, he put all his thoughts aside and decided to focus on lunch first.
Meanwhile, Ailiya, whom Lin Xueyin had been thinking about, encountered a big problem. They had agreed to spar, but her opponent had chosen to ambush her after being defeated. In a fit of anger, Ailiya accidentally severed her opponent's arm at the shoulder.
This has stirred up a hornet's nest. This guy himself is nothing special, but he is a subordinate of the son of the Grand Duke of Pancos and can be considered a confidant. The other party is demanding compensation from him.
However, if I want to save him and reattach his arm, which was severed at the shoulder, I would have to find a high-ranking priest or above, but I couldn't find one even if I sold everything I owned.
Surrounded by the other side, who were even about to attack him, he probably would have attacked him directly if the referee hadn't intervened.
"Woman, what's going on? Give us a straight answer right now. Although our man was also at fault, you've crippled him outright. What kind of hatred would drive you to this?"
“Lockdak, he did all of this himself. Does that mean I have to let him ambush me instead of hitting him hard?” She stared intently at the man in front of her.
The most detestable person in the entire academy is not only a spoiled brat, but also bullies men and women everywhere and causes trouble.
A cold smile appeared on his face. "No matter what, you've ruined a warrior's future. Is this your chivalry? Or are you planning to be irresponsible?"
"you...."
“What do you mean, ‘what do you mean, ‘what do you mean’? If you don’t have money, I can give you a suggestion.” Seeing the other person turn their eyes to him, Lockdak revealed a triumphant smile.
"As long as you can pledge allegiance to me and become my guardian knight, then everything will be fine. I will even pay for the priest for you."
These words caused an uproar. Everyone knew what the man's intentions were. He was really scheming. First, he would use this incident to recruit a promising knight, and then he would also get closer to the Silver Knight of Order, one of the Four Knights of the Empire.
On the other hand, they could also find a priest to save their men. By spending only some money, they could gain so many benefits, which was practically no different from getting something for nothing.
Volume Two, Academy Chapter Five: This is nothing
While we were eating, I heard people around me saying that something terrible had happened. Apparently, someone had cut off another person's arm and was now being blackmailed by the other person.
Honestly, I don't know who was so unlucky as to cut off someone's arm. It would be a huge problem on Earth. Even if there were a magical civilization where priests could reattach it, they would need to be at least level 80 priests with enhanced healing skills to perform the treatment.
However, apart from that teacher Andariel, there probably isn't anyone else in the school with that kind of talent. But this is the capital, so presumably we can still find a pastor like that.
After lunch, I only have about an hour for a nap. Considering that, there's no need to go back to the dorm. I might as well go there and see what's going on. It has nothing to do with me anyway, so I'll just see what level the priests in this world are at.
After putting away all the empty plates, washing his hands, he walked toward the place where the students were talking.
Along the way, other people kept rushing over, and it seemed that the matter was getting bigger and bigger. You could also vaguely hear some voices that looked down on those people, or sympathized with them, or even envied them.
Upon arriving at the location, there was no need to search further; a group of people were already gathered around, pointing and gesturing towards what appeared to be a spectacle.
I took out a green plum that the cafeteria lady had given me. It was similar to an apple on Earth, but it tasted refreshing and delicious.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry." While pushing aside the person blocking his way, he apologized. At this moment, the differences between men and women and the gap between professions were fully demonstrated.
The person who was pushed aside initially looked annoyed, but when they saw that the person pushing them was a cute young girl dressed as a priest, their anger subsided slightly, and they even made way for her.
Of course, this wasn't without its gains; at least, a sweet and lovely smile was imprinted in his eyes, truly pleasing to the eye.
Gradually, she had reached the front of the crowd and could see what was happening inside. When she heard the familiar voices inside, her beautiful eyes showed anxiety.
Oh my god, could it be Aria who's injured? With worry for her friend, Lin Xueyin quickly quickened her pace and finally arrived inside before the situation escalated further.
"Aria, what's wrong with you?"
Seeing her friend's angry yet helpless expression, Lin Xueyin frowned deeply. Of course, the girl's appearance also caused some commotion at the scene.
Wearing the academy's distinctive knee-length white priest's robe and snow-white flat-soled knee-high boots specially prepared for priests, the girl's stunningly beautiful figure was perfectly accentuated.
Beneath the long sleeves, a pair of slender, white hands gently rested on a woman dressed in knight's armor, the bright silver complementing the pure white perfectly.
"What's going on?" The man was aggressively confronting his friend, while the other side of the injured person, who had received emergency treatment and was no longer bleeding heavily, was looking at the injured person.
"What's going on? It's about putting this ridiculous knight in charge."
"Eh????? Aria, you, you, you are actually this kind of person..." The words made Aria open her mouth in distress, but she didn't know what to say. She could only smile bitterly. On the other side, Lockdak had a smug smile on his face.
But that smile instantly turned liver-colored when she heard the second half of the sentence. "Aria, even if you're desperate, you can't go after this kind of trash. Trying to seduce her... you..."
"You're the one who's trying to seduce that kind of person, Lin Xueyin. What on earth are you thinking?"
"What? Isn't this supposed to be reverse psychology? Then why is this man in such a hurry for you to take responsibility?"
His lips twitched as he watched the two women discussing some kind of reverse seduction. Did he need to be the one being reverse seduced? However, looking at this chattering young girl, it seemed that if she could actually seduc him, it would be quite an interesting experience.
"Excuse me, Miss Pastor, I am Lockdak, the only son of the Grand Duke of Pankos. May I ask your name?"
A polite smile, handsome looks, and a powerful background—these are the ideal catch for some women. However, this is only true for some women.
"Hey, Aria, what happened to you? How did you manage to mess with these people?"
Lin Xueyin completely ignored Lockdak, who was performing elegant aristocratic etiquette on her behalf, after being met with a few dry laughs and a cold snorts from the other party.
“I accidentally severed the other man’s arm at the shoulder. They want me to find a priest to heal him. If that doesn’t work, they want me to swear allegiance to them and become this man’s guardian knight.”
The tone of her voice, filled with disdain and even contempt, clearly conveyed how much Arya loathed this person. But what could she do now that things had already happened?
"Forget it, I'll just go find the teacher. I just don't know if this will have any impact on the teacher." He said this in a self-deprecating manner, and when he opened his eyes again, he saw that the girl who had been standing in front of him just now had gone to the side of the wounded soldier.
With a gentle tone, she had already made the other person dizzy as she reattached her severed arm to its rightful place. In a holy light, the arm, which had lost its color, gradually returned to normal.
This is.....
The previously chaotic crowd witnessed this unexpected turn of events: an injury that required a high-ranking priest to heal was being completely healed by a student right before everyone's eyes.
"Okay, move around a bit and see if there are any other uncomfortable parts in your arm."
"That's it?" She blushed slightly as she looked at the exquisitely beautiful face so close to her, momentarily speechless.
"Of course it's good." Patting the other's arm, which she had just healed, Lin Xueyin stood up with a sweet smile, speaking to Ailiya in a way that was both like taking credit and like being coquettish.
"Well, now that you're healed, they can't make you work as a guardian knight anymore, right?"
The cooked Kora bird just flew away like that? Lockdak looked at the man in front of him, who still had a slight blush. "This woman, you're not the type to blush. That hand didn't even touch me."
Especially when I saw that he could actually move his arm freely, I wished I could cut off that annoying hand right now.
"Let's go, let's go. Honestly, it's just a small thing, why are you so angry?"
"Just this little thing?" These words sent shivers down the spines of the surrounding students as they stared at the young priestess. How could this be considered a little thing? It concerned the future of a warrior!
"Next time, even if you cut someone's head off, remember to tell me. You didn't even ask for help when you were being bullied. What were you thinking?"
"Big sister, you're a priest, can you not be so horrifying? Cutting someone's head off, wouldn't that mean they'd die?" Similarly, Aria could only roll her eyes at the girl who had made such a boastful promise. Since she had already done her a big favor, she would let her say whatever she wanted.
Watching the two girls chatter and laugh as they left, Lockdak clenched his fists tightly, but then, as if remembering something, a strange smile appeared on his face.
Volume Two, The Academy Chapter: The Sensation Caused by Chapter Six
Still in the library, Lin Xueyin looked at the sea of people borrowing books with a puzzled expression. What was going on? There were already enough people before, but now the number had more than doubled.
Not only that, but in the past, people would just borrow books and leave. Now, after borrowing them, they ask how long they've been here, why they haven't seen each other before, and some even ask if they want to team up to take on missions outside.
What kind of bizarre situation is this? Isn't it supposed to be that freshmen have to stay at the academy for at least half a year before they can form teams to carry out external missions?
"Hey, Kaliel, what's going on here? How come there are so many more people all of a sudden? Everything was normal yesterday."
Staring at the bewildered girl, Kaliel sighed speechlessly. This woman really had no self-awareness at all. Didn't she know what kind of sensation she had caused yesterday?
She actually managed to completely cure a man who was deemed beyond saving. Later, when Teacher Andariel returned, he personally checked on the man's recovery and said, "Even I couldn't have done it so thoroughly."
Doesn't this mean that this woman's healing abilities even surpass those of the academy's most powerful teacher, Andariel? Furthermore, Andariel is a highly respected priest in the capital, so this young woman has already become one of the top priests in the capital.
Of course, that's not the point. The point is that this young priest doesn't have any powerful background yet, and she's a super pretty girl. Both her future potential and her appearance are enough to attract various powerful forces.
Whether it's the academy or outside, the situation must be in an uproar by now, yet this girl is still so clueless. Isn't that worrying?
"There might be exams these days. Usually, when exams are approaching, a lot of students come here to borrow books."
"The exam is coming up soon, but why are they talking to me about all sorts of random things? It feels like they're trying to get to the bottom of everything." She pouted, feeling that things weren't as simple as they seemed.
"Idiot, do you even need to ask? You've only been here a few days. When they arrive, of course they'll casually ask a stranger."
