Unspeakable bubbles

"That sounds nice, but if this old man keeps going, he'll definitely lose badly!"

The little girl didn't mind Harris's shameless behavior, but Patty was extremely annoyed.

She cleared her throat and declared loudly, "Since Leo Beast has been defeated, then I, Petty Grant, hereby officially declare—"

"The champion of this year's Rock Paper Scissors contest is—Bubble!"

Hearing Patty's deliberate and forceful "I admit defeat," Harris couldn't help but give a wry smile.

Honestly, he wasn't the kind of person who couldn't accept defeat.

However, under the watchful eyes of everyone, as the dean of Laplace Academy, he absolutely could not 'truly' lose to a little girl.

Let's give Bubble a round of applause!

Hasri clapped with a smile, instantly igniting the atmosphere in the audience.

"Bubble is the champion."

"I've heard that Bubble is really amazing!"

"I think the rock-paper-scissors competition is a good start, and the student council should organize more similar activities."

"Hahahaha, I've made a fortune! I've made a fortune! I won with my bubble bet!"

Reiko, Takehara, Hiroki, Mizushima, and even Tama, the class's least noticeable student, all came up.

With the help of several people, they quickly set up a makeshift award stage.

"Kodera-san, Kodera-san, come up quickly!"

"Huh?"

Koderai was pushed onto the stage by the club members, and she looked very embarrassed.

"Should we... still give out awards?"

"Of course, the student council has specially prepared three grand prizes—gold, silver, and bronze—for this competition."

(Although only the outer layer of the gold and silver trophies is real.)

Petty clapped his hands: "Dean, Koji, Bubble, stand in line."

"Teacher Emma, please come up to the stage to present the award!"

"Ok."

Emma went on stage, distributed the three trophies to the three people, and then picked up her camera.

"Everyone, let's have a smile and then take a group photo."

"Audience members, let's all cheer together!"

Petty shouted, "Three!"

"two!"

"one!"

"eggplant!"

With the click of the camera, the first annual Rock-Paper-Scissors Contest at Laplace College officially came to a close.

Section 462, Chapter 461: Leave everything to Bubble Bar

“Emma, come here, come to Grandpa.”

The day after the rock-paper-scissors contest ended, Harris called his granddaughter to the southernmost part of the island early in the morning.

"Grandpa, I'm off today and I want to explore the island properly."

"Grandpa has something important to tell you."

After Emma walked up to him, Harris pointed ahead and asked, "What do you see?"

"..."

"Grandpa, just say what you have to say."

Emma covered her forehead: "Your granddaughter's eyes are fine; she knows that's the ocean."

"It is indeed the sea, but look closely, is there any difference between this sea and the sea you remember?"

"Ok?"

Emma paused, then looked at it carefully for a moment before saying uncertainly, "The color...it's a bit off."

"It seems to have turned black?"

"Yes."

Harris nodded and then asked, "What comes to mind when you think of the 'Black Ocean'?"

"The Black Ocean...The Dead Sea!"

Harris didn't speak; he had a somber expression on his face.

Upon seeing this, Emma's eyes widened: "Our area is so far from the Dead Sea, how could this be..."

"Are you still stuck in your old understanding? Have you forgotten? The Lord of the Dead Sea briefly awoke once, and since then, the Dead Sea has expanded once again."

"Grandpa, this is an island! If something happens to the ocean, the students will be in great danger!"

“Not just the students, but also the mentors, and even me, everyone is in danger.”

"This, this..."

Seeing Emma's bewildered expression, Harris couldn't help but shake his head inwardly.

'If Chisara were still here, she wouldn't be this scared. Emma still lacks experience.'

"Don't worry, Grandpa already has a plan."

"Ah, that's good."

Emma breathed a sigh of relief: "I knew it, there's no way Grandpa couldn't do something about it."

"By the way, Grandpa, did you call me over so early in the morning because you have something to tell me to do?"

"Tomorrow I will issue specific tasks to all student organizations on behalf of the college, including the student union."

“Emma, when the student council goes off the island to complete its mission, I hope you can stay by your students’ side.”

"Leave the island?"

"Yes, I'm planning to draw a large-scale floating array covering the entire island. However, I need the student council to go off the island and help me find the special mineral veins needed to draw the floating array."

"..."

"Grandpa, my classmates and I will do our best!"

Emma's eyes showed a determined look. This concerned the survival of Laplace Academy. Even if she had to work day and night, she would find the mine.

"What are the characteristics of that special vein? Which direction should we go... Ah, sorry, that's a question I should be thinking about."

"Emma, here you go." Harris slipped a piece of parchment into Emma's hand.

"This is... a nautical chart?"

"Yes, this is Laplace Academy. Keep heading southeast, do you see this red circle? There's an island there, and the mineral vein is on that island."

"what?"

"Sit on my magic carpet and go there. Don't stray off course. It should take about two days to reach your destination."

"Grandpa?"

"Of course, Emma, you don't need to find her right away. Wander around outside for seven or eight days, and you might stumble upon her..."

"grandfather!"

Emma looked puzzled: "You've already found the mineral vein, why did you issue a mission?"

Emma

Harris said earnestly, "On a grand scale, this is a serious task to save the academy."

"I hope the student council will complete this task, and I especially hope that you, Emma, will be the one to lead the student council to complete this task!"

Emma stared blankly at Harris, speechless, her face filled with hesitation.

Seeing this, Harris had no choice but to resort to his trump card.

"Emma, if it were Chisa, she wouldn't hesitate now."

Sure enough, Emma immediately changed her attitude after hearing this.

"Grandpa, I... I understand."

"This is for the sake of the academy, for the sake of the bigger picture."

"Okay, you go back and get ready. Emma, remember one thing."

Harris said earnestly, "Grandpa always had you in mind."

"Uh, mentor, what is this?"

"A designated mission? The reward is quite high..."

"Is Laplace Academy planning to ascend to the heavens by creating a levitation array?"
