Chapter 33 Ancient Academy
…
“Then, I hope all students can find their own dreams at C. Academy!”
“Thank you!”
…
The welcome ceremony for new students has ended just like that.
The number of participants was not large, only about 200 people, held in a small auditorium.
However, Lonis’s heart was filled with joyful excitement… This feeling was the same as when she first became a Hero and looked out at this unknown world~
(Just you watch, Elus, I will prove to you that I am absolutely not some slave maid. Even with a girl’s body, I can accomplish things!)
However, compared to Lonis’s high fighting spirit, Elus’s expression was a bit tired:
“Sigh, these polite words again. Why does everyone have to pursue this kind of superficial ritualistic sense?”
“E, Elus?”
“Hmph, Lonis, it’s time to go.”
…
Since it was a welcome ceremony for new students, the senior female students naturally did not participate. Looking around, other classmates were all unfamiliar faces.
Although Lonis was looking forward to making new friends, the silver-haired girl soon discovered…
There was no one accompanying them.
The Political Science and Law Academy, where Su Ling Zhou was located, was the most popular. Besides that, the Battle Magic Academy and the Healing Magic Academy were also very popular.
And there wasn’t a single new student heading towards the “Ancient Academy.”
This means…
“Did you notice? If you hadn’t applied for the niche Ancient Academy, you would never have been accepted.”
“Huh?”
“Hmph-mph, I really don’t know what you’re so proud of. You’re almost at the bottom, it’s so embarrassing.”
(Wuwu!)
Elus’s words poured cold water on Lonis’s enthusiasm.
This made the silver-haired girl a little displeased: She knew her own strength was not good. If it weren’t for Elus and her companions helping her review, she wouldn’t have been qualified to come to school.
But she had also worked very hard, right?
Couldn’t she get a little encouragement? Why did she have to keep bullying her!
…
Lonis’s eyes couldn’t help but well up with tears, and at this moment…
She saw a mischievous smile on Elus’s lips.
Her ruby-red pupils seemed less like disdain and more like the joy of a prank succeeding… At this moment, Lonis suddenly understood: Elus wasn’t mocking her, she just wanted to admire her pitiful expression.
(How hateful!)
Lonis knew that if she were a boy and Elus were a soft girl, she would also like to bully her. She would like to see her blushing face, but right now, being bullied made Lonis feel somewhat “unreconciled.”
“Elus, I…”
“Oh, my little maid, what do you want to do?”
“Uh…”
“Hmph-mph, still haven’t learned your lesson? You should have just obediently stayed in your room, being cute and warming the bed, but you insisted on coming to school beyond your capabilities~”
“Elus, you’re being too much. Actually…”
Looking at the black-haired girl in front of her, Lonis felt like she was about to cry again.
She had worked hard to accompany Elus, worrying that Elus would feel lonely going to school alone.
But this person, not only did she not appreciate it, but she bullied her and undermined her confidence on the very first day of school.
So…
(Hmph, I won’t talk to Elus today, so you know what it feels like to be coldly treated!)
Lonis made up her mind that from now on, she would be reserved and distant towards Elus.
Unless Elus changed her view of her and showed her extra care, she would continue like this!
…
…

…
Gazing at Lonis’s slightly displeased expression, Elus secretly smiled in her heart.
This girl was indeed very suitable to be a soft girl.
This jealous look was really too cute. It made one involuntarily want to continue bullying her, training her, making her look pitiful, and then hugging her tight~
This way, Lonis’s affection for her wouldn’t be too high, nor too low, and she could maintain this state of unsatisfied desire, falling into happy shame.
Hmph-hmph…
Lonis, have you experienced the joy of being a female student?
But now, it’s just the beginning.
…

…
Following the directions on the map, Lonis followed Elus’s footsteps and arrived in front of the “Ancient Academy.”
But the scene that met her eyes stunned Lonis… because this was not what a magic academy should be like at all; it could be called an abandoned vampire castle!
It was a 4-story stone building, with green
ivy growing on the outside of the stone bricks. Dense leaves swayed in the wind, almost covering the windows.
Weeds grew in abundance, and bushes were dense. The main road, which should have been the facade of the academy, was not neat and imposing but was covered with all sorts of gravel.
Even the “Ancient Academy” plaque looked a bit faded; if you didn’t look closely, you couldn’t tell what was written on it.
“E, Elus…”
“Oh? Didn’t you just decide to ignore me? Why did you give up so quickly?”
“Huh?”
Lonis’s pretty face blushed, and she quickly closed her mouth.
Elus, on the other hand, seemed to be in a good mood and said, “C. Academy has a total of 37 different types of academies, but the Ancient Academy has always been neglected because it is difficult to find jobs and the work process is dangerous.”
“Huh?”
“Hmph-hmph, you’ll know later.”
…
…
“Is there anyone?”
Lonis pushed open the heavy door and called out towards the interior of the academy.
However, not only was there no one responding, but there wasn’t even a single light in the vast front hall.
A strangely shaped sculpture stood in the center. The howling cold wind blew against them, making it feel like walking into a haunted house.
“Elus, didn’t we come to the wrong place? No matter how deserted it is, it shouldn’t be…”
“So, Lonis, what happened to your resolution?”
“Forget that, we still need to confirm if we’re at the wrong place? Could it be that the academy has already moved, and our map hasn’t been updated?”
“Sigh, I can’t deal with you.”
Reaching out her hand and stroking Lonis’s small head, Elus shouted into the darkness in front of her, “Is anyone there? If no one is, we’re coming in!”
Elus’s voice was not loud, but it was exceptionally penetrating. The words “We’ve enrolled” echoed throughout the empty corridor.
However, there was no response…
The scene that stood before Lonis was still as dark and lonely as ever, with not the slightest disturbance.
“As expected, we’ve come to the wrong place, right? This should be the old school building, which is no longer in use.”
“No, Lonis, listen… something is coming towards us.”
“Huh?”
“Gosh, is it a butcher with a chainsaw? He looks so well-built~”
“Ha?!?!?!”
Before Lonis could finish her sentence,
From the darkness, a muscular man holding a chainsaw, covered in blood, rushed towards the girls.
