Chapter 34 An Elegant Statue
“Wuwuwu! Elus, help me!!!!!”
At this moment, Lonis was so scared that she completely forgot her previous ambitions and hid behind Elus.
(Why is there a butcher in the school! What kind of magic academy is this!!!!!)
The silver-haired girl was trembling, but Elus seemed to be prepared, and snorted coldly, “I told you long ago, going to school is not a simple matter.”
“Wuu?”
“I think you are more suited to be a big hugging pillow!”
Although Elus’s words were directed at Lonis, her right leg kicked towards the chainsaw butcher.
Boom!
Although the leather shoes Elus was wearing were delicate and small, the moment they touched the butcher’s chest, they erupted with unparalleled power like a medium-range missile… The black-haired girl did not move, but the chainsaw butcher was kicked flying straight out!
Sizzle, sizzle~
The butcher flew backward and crashed into the wall behind him, and intense electric light ignited from his wound—it turned out this guy was not human, but a robot made of metal!
(Robot?!)
Just as Lonis was confused, a girl’s voice came from the darkness of the corridor.
“Sorry, the ancient weapon suddenly went out of control, are you guys okay?!”
The girl who ran over was wearing a white lab coat, had braids, and wore black-rimmed glasses on her face, looking like she was researching something.
Only her height was about the same as Lonis, and because she wasn’t wearing high heels, she gave a very petite impression.
…
“Of course, we’re okay. If we weren’t, could we still talk to you?”
“Ah… S-sorry!”
Seeing Elus, the girl first apologized in a panic, and then said with a smile, “Two students, welcome to the Ancient Academy. Are you here to accept a commission?”
“Commission…?”
“Yes, we can handle the appraisal and containment of ancient relics! Ah, right! If you want to buy some ancient items to decorate your home, we can also provide them with all our might! Because it’s close to 618, it’s 30% off for the entire venue…”
The girl was selling enthusiastically,
But Lonis seemed to have discovered something and just sighed slightly:
“Alas, has it declined to this point?”
“Eh?”
“Sorry to disappoint you, I and Maid Lonis are not students accepting commissions. We are new students wanting to join the Ancient Academy.”
“How is that possible… New students? And two at once?!”
The girl’s eyes widened in astonishment, and she almost sat on the ground in fright.
“New students… Is that very bizarre?”
“It’s not just bizarre, it’s also… Ah, sorry, you are both new students. It might not be good for me to say this…” The girl sighed and introduced herself, “My name is Yan, you can call me Xiao Yan or Yan-senpai.”
“Yan-senpai, hello. I am Lonis, and this is my young lady whom I serve, named Elus.”
“As you can see, the one beside me is my idiot maid.”
“Maid… Oh, no wonder you two enrolled together!”
…
Seeing how familiar Lonis and Elus were, Yan-senpai seemed to breathe a sigh of relief.
“Um, um… Yan-senpai, did we come to the wrong place? This is the old school building, right?”
“Old school building… No! You’re mistaken, this is the Ancient Academy.”
“Eh?!”
Lonis was about to ask why the “Ancient Academy” looked so dilapidated, but then she thought that saying so might be a bit disrespectful.
Moreover, this was also the place where she would study in the future.
However, seeing Lonis’s hesitant expression, Yan knew what she wanted to ask, and explained with a sigh:
“Classmate Lonis, I’m very sorry. The Ancient Academy has always been the least popular academy, with only a dozen students in total. Last month, the vice-dean took most of the students out for an inspection.”
“Eh?”
“So, there are only 5 students on campus now… Ah, plus you two, that makes 7 people.”
“7 people…”
Although Yan-senpai seemed a little proud when she mentioned seven people, even a part-time maid at a maid cafe had more people than the students here.
“Um, you two are new students, right? Then I’ll take you to see the dean right away… Ah, please don’t worry, the dean is a very good person and easy to communicate with.”
…
“By the way, Yan-senpai, that butcher just now…”
“Oh, the ancients weapon going out of control just now is a low-probability event. Generally, it only happens once a week.”
“Mm… (Once a week is a low probability?)”
…
Led by Yan-senpai, the two walked deeper into the academy together.
Without turning on the lights, after every section of the corridor, Yan-senpai would personally light the candelabra… The flickering light illuminated the faces of the three, casting long shadows on the old corridor.
Although it looked a bit dilapidated all the way, when Lonis reached the interior, she found that the academy’s interior decoration was still very classy, with finely designed small decorations everywhere, and the floor was also very clean, without any dust.
Finally, Yan-senpai led the two into the academy’s atrium: here, warm sunlight shone faintly on Lonis through the translucent skylight glass.
I don’t know if it was because no one took care of it, or if it was designed this way.
Many dense and lush bushes grew in the atrium, and the smell that came was not old, but a fragrance of soil mixed with the aroma of traditional Chinese medicine.
“Wow…”
This scene, far from being desolate, had a kind of elegance where time seemed to have frozen.
Lonis was somewhat mesmerized, not to mention that in the center of the atrium, there was an extremely exquisite statue of a woman… She was carved lifelike, and whether it was her relaxed eyebrows or her slightly upturned lips, she exuded an indescribable tranquility and beauty.
Dense moss spread from her feet, gradually covering her thighs, as if she were wearing a dark green long stocking.
The girl’s dress looked very flowing, and coupled with her graceful body curves, it was impossible to look away at first glance.
“Yan-senpai, is this where the dean will process our enrollment?”
“Mm, yes…”
Although she nodded, Yan-senpai seemed a little hesitant.
She sighed deeply and said to Lonis and Elus, “Two new students, please don’t be afraid, no matter what happens next… because this is a very normal phenomenon in the Ancient Academy.”
“Normal…?”
“Yes, Dean Emerald, please wake up. Two new students have enrolled this year, and the vice-dean is not here. There is no one to process their enrollment procedures now.”
Facing the elegant and exquisite statue, Yan-senpai said very respectfully.
