Chapter 4 Entry Inspection
“Lonis, wake up quickly.”
“Wuwu… wuwu?”
Lonis slowly opened her eyes, only to see Elusious with her arms crossed, looking at herself with great “displeasure”… her eyes were wide open, as if she wanted to take out a whip and lash herself.
“Hmph, you look like an idiot every morning. You have fifteen minutes. Hurry and wash up.”
“Ah, I’m going now.”
Lonis quickly got out of bed… In fact, although Lonis had nominally become Elusious’s maid, she still hadn’t gotten rid of this habit of sleeping in.
Perhaps it was because the training and studying every day were too tiring?
The silver-haired girl fell asleep as soon as she got into bed, and it took about 9 hours of sleep every day to wake up.
Lonis knew that her performance was unacceptable, but today Elusious seemed to be in a good mood, so she didn’t hold it against her.
“Master Elusious, we are…”
“We’ll arrive soon. If you want to get a bird’s-eye view, go now.”
“Eh?”
Lonis was stunned, and initially she didn’t understand what Elusious was referring to.
However, after remembering the destination of this trip… she immediately knew that the magic ship had arrived near the Sky Island, and she couldn’t suppress her curiosity and quickly looked out the window.
…
…
In the swirling clouds, a cluster of islands stood tall.
Not just one, but many scattered islands. Judging by the distance, each of them was very large, at least tens of square kilometers.
The islands were connected by suspension bridges and some small floating islands. Their shapes were ancient and had beautiful curves, as if the sky was treated as a vast ocean.
Some islands were lush and covered with dense forests.
Some islands were open and flat, with many already demarcated sports fields.
Some islands had towering mountains, covered with white snow.
Some islands were covered with buildings and palaces… They were not in the traditional Western medieval castle style, but more like Disney’s theme park castles. Many buildings had columnar structures that Lonis couldn’t understand, and there were even mushroom-shaped houses.
Just looking from a distance, Lonis was stunned by the sight before her eyes. She couldn’t imagine that such a magical place could actually exist in reality.
…
“Are… are we going to enroll in one of them?”
“Yeah, probably.”
“Eh?”
Lonis turned her head, only to find Elusious’s expression a little strange… Her eyes were wide open, as if she too was shocked by the scene before her.
“E-Elusious?”
“Don’t ask what you shouldn’t.”
Elusious frowned, and Lonis realized that Elusious was truly distracted… because she had called her by her name without adding “Master.”
If Elusious were in her usual mood, she would definitely have taught her a stern lesson.
But at this moment, she just took a deep breath, seeming somewhat melancholic: “Lonis, when we disembark later, you don’t need to say anything. Just be my maid honestly, as I taught you a few days ago.”
“I-I understand…”
“Then get ready, we’re about to land.”
…
…
As the ship slowly descended, Lonis’s mood gradually became more excited.
How to describe this feeling? It was like the first time you take a plane to a foreign land or country.
Everything before her was novel, and you could feel a strange world slowly opening its doors to you. Perhaps the unknown might make you feel bewildered, but as long as Elusious was by her side, Lonis had nothing to fear.
Anyway,
her mission was just to be a maid, and she didn’t need to complete any complicated tasks.
She had a very reliable black-haired girl by her side, and she even had a must-have weapon like the Crimson Lotus War Hammer… Maybe she could play the role of a weakling to defeat a strong opponent, and write a legend of her own here.
This was what Lonis thought, but she didn’t expect that as soon as the ship landed, there would be urgent knocking on the door from outside.
“Visitor, please state your purpose.”
The voice belonged to a middle-aged man. His aura was very strong, and he was wearing a unique medieval chainmail armor.
“Elusious, I’m here to take the entrance exam for Clearwater Academy.”
Elusious’s reply was concise, and she opened the cabin door for the man.
“For the exam?”
“That’s right. You can come in and inspect freely. There are no prohibited items here.”
“…”
The man walked in with a serious expression, his armor making a jingling sound with his steady steps.
His gaze first swept over Elusious, and then he looked at Lonis… Although both girls were incomparably beautiful, the man’s expression did not reveal much surprise.
“This is…”
“This is my personal maid, Lonis. She is accompanying me for my studies.”
Elusious tilted her head up, signaling Lonis to step forward for inspection,
but the man frowned and said:
“Accompanying you for studies? Where did you get this information?”
“Doesn’t Clearwater Academy have slots for accompanying companions to take care of noble young ladies?”
“That system was abolished ten years ago.”
“!”
“Of course, as a maid, you can obtain a 7-day visa on Academy Island as a traveler. But once the time is up, you will need to leave the island.”
The man scanned Lonis’s body up and down. His gaze did not linger on the girl’s skin, but rather murmured about her clothes: “These clothes are a bit strange.”
“Yes, this is a magic combat outfit that can automatically change its form, just like the one I’m wearing.”
“I don’t see any patterns that cause large-scale destruction, but if you want to take the exam on the island, this outfit will still need to be registered at the academic affairs office.”
“Of course, we will naturally abide by the rules.”
“Hmm.”
After that, the man conducted a search inside the ship, including Elusious’s storage ring, as well as the bathroom and the cockpit.
After confirming that there were no prohibited items, the man nodded, took out a document from his懷, and handed it to Elusious.
“This is your temporary pass, which includes a map of Academy Island. The areas marked in green are the areas you can enter. If you want to enroll in the academy, you will need to register before the exam next week.”
“I understand. Is the registration method still the same as before?”
“The same as before…?”
“Yes, as long as you can show proof of Kolotia, anyone can register with 1 silver coin, regardless of who they are.”
Elusious asked with her eyes sharp and very serious.
