Chapter 27 New Student Procurement
After Lonis and Elus left, Lov picked up the postmark and marked the seal of passing the assessment on their files.
“What do you two teachers think?”
“Reporting to Director Lov, although we still haven’t figured out their purpose for enrolling, they should have no ill intentions towards the school.”
Mizuho Suzuki spun the pen in her hand and wrote a passage in her notes: “Perhaps something in our school has attracted their interest.”
“Then what do you think it is?”
“I don’t know. After all, there are so many rewards in the school. These two chose archaeology, so it should be related to some relics.”
“I think their purpose is also to study.”
Teacher Scott sighed and added, “That young lady named Elus may not need much knowledge. But that maid named Lonis really needs the academy’s systematic explanations.”
“The inferences of you two teachers are the same as mine. Then, what do you think? Is there a chance for these two students to serve our school?”
“Director?”
“Director, you mean…”
“Lately, Trickster Demon’s actions have been somewhat beyond our expectations. Although we cannot be sure that this is the beginning of another Great Silence, we need more people to investigate the information from those ruins.”
Lov’s words were very calm, with no excessive emotion hidden within, but they carried a quiet power.
“But, Director Lov. They are just new students. Would it be too much to give them this kind of work…”
“Of course not now. And I have observed the new student named Lonis carefully. I believe that her character is fine, and she is very dedicated.”
“Director, we understand. We will instruct the student council on related matters.”
“Thank you, Teacher Scott, Teacher Suzuki.”

(Great! I’m accepted!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)
The moment she walked out of the gymnasium, Lonis felt like she wanted to jump to the sky!
For this exam, she had worked part-time at the maid shop, bought books, been bullied by Elus with small toys, and toyed with by tentacle monsters in the virtual world. It was truly miserable!
She had given her all. If she had failed, Lonis really didn’t know what attitude she would have to face Elus and Su Ling Zhou.
But now, she succeeded~~
She was also a member of Clear Dreams Academy~~~
So Lonis didn’t even notice that her steps were skipping, like a wild (fo)al hidden in the woods, looking exceptionally cute.
However, compared to Lonis, Elus was not so happy. She frowned, as if thinking about the teachers’ questions just now…
“Have I aroused suspicion? No, the first step went smoothly. Then, the next step should be to earn enough points and credits. Hmm… Right!”
As if remembering something, Elus frowned and reached out to grab Lonis’s body… whether the girl did it intentionally or unintentionally, her hand immediately grasped Lonis’s chest.
“Wuwu?!”
This grab terrified Lonis… She stared blankly at the black-haired young lady, not understanding what she intended to do.
Could it be that Elus, this sadist, was going to push her down in broad daylight?
Lonis was so scared that she didn’t dare to move, while Elus coughed and said very seriously, “Cough, cough, you maid, don’t you think I would be happy if you said that just now?”
“Huh?”
“Flattery, proclaiming loyalty… this is your basic quality as a maid. There’s nothing to praise! But for the sake of future studies, I’ll take you to buy some study supplies as a reward.”
And so, Lonis was taken to the school’s convenience store by Elus.
It was dazzling, filled with all sorts of goods… Of course, this was Lonis’s first time in a civilized society’s store, and she was full of curiosity about all sorts of goods.
“Elus, what is that…”
“Oh? (Reaches for the remote control in her pocket.)”
“Mas… Master! (Her cheeks turned red.) What is that black thing?”
“Hmm, that’s a detector. It’s used to detect the free magic elements in the air.”
“Oh…”
“Don’t touch it randomly if you’re not buying it. Honestly, are you a child?”
Although Elus was quite critical of Lonis’s “silly” expression, Lonis didn’t care about that. She just observed her surroundings as much as possible, collecting information about this world.
Pencils, erasers, notebooks, rulers, clay… these props from her past life were all in the store now.
It seemed that there were factories in this world as well, as the marks on the pencils were so neat, they must have been processed by machines.
However, Lonis didn’t see any electrical appliances. She didn’t see any electric razors, alarm clocks, light bulbs, or power banks.
Not only that, but if the prices were converted to food, these industrial products were also shockingly expensive.
For example, an apple only cost 0.5 silver coins.
But a small eraser cost 2 silver coins.
Fountain pens were even more expensive. Lonis could see cheap fountain pens selling for 5 silver coins, and also fountain pens selling for 500 silver coins—in fact, Lonis could only earn 30 silver coins after working hard for one night.
“Master Elus, that…”
“Hmph, you must be wondering why these things are so expensive, right?”
“Y-yes!”
“That’s because C. Academy itself does not mass-produce these things, and if you want to transport them, you need a Magic Ship.”
“Oh…”
Only then did Lonis remember that the entire magic academy was floating in the sky. And this world was not very peaceful now. Even transport teams could encounter magical beasts.
Therefore, the prices had become very high.
“In short, use the stationery carefully. If I find out that you are careless and lose them, the financial loss will be deducted from your salary.”
“Huh?”
“What ‘huh’, did you hear me?”
“I… I heard you!”
Looking at the newly bought stationery, Lonis swallowed.
In reality, as a Hero, Lonis’s habits were very lax… Not only did she rarely clean her room, but she also didn’t know where she put many things after setting them down.
At that time, it could be considered that great people were not petty, but now if she lost anything, she would have to accept the punishment with her body.
“Master Young Lady, the items have been bought. What should we do next…”
“Hmm, next, of course, is to prepare some backup equipment to prevent accidents~”
“Backup equipment?”
“Don’t you think that becoming a ‘maid’ is a simple matter?”
Elus smiled slightly, holding Lonis’s wrist, and walked towards the lingerie section.
