Chapter 35 Dean Miss
After Senior Yan called out, the beautiful and exquisite stone statue actually began to move slowly!
Gray faded away, replaced by golden long hair.
The hard fabric gradually became soft, and the gorgeous gothic skirt was as beautiful as a rose blooming in the night.
Her eyebrows were raised, and those eyes were looking directly at Lonis… Calm, elegant, without the slightest surprise.
It was as if before the girl stood only an old friend she had never met:
“Welcome, two new students. I am Dean Emerald of the Ancient Academy. You can call me Miss Emerald.”
As a burst of golden light spread, Emerald Glaze’s body slowly floated up.
Her body seemed to have no gravity, her skirt swaying gently, and her long golden hair floated behind her, looking so beautiful.
“Ah…”
Lonis was so surprised she couldn’t speak, while Elus introduced herself:
“Teacher Emerald, hello. I am Elus. This somewhat silly girl here is my maid, Lonis.”
“I-I’m not silly at all!”
Lonis frowned and quickly said before Elus could tease her further, “Teacher, we are here to report. What do we need to do?”
“Mm, please take this.”
Emerald Glaze smiled slightly, and two cards shimmering with golden light floated into Lonis and Elus’s arms.
“These are your student cards. With this card, you can access various secret rooms within the Ancient Academy, but be warned, some of these secret rooms are very dangerous, so please do not enter without a senior accompanying you.”
Dean Emerald’s voice was very gentle, and every word was clear and pleasant to hear.
“Ah, secret rooms?”
“Yes, the secret rooms contain many relics recovered from all over the world. Because their rating did not reach A-class, they were not sent to Ruin Island.”
“!”
“Now, I’ll take you to your classroom… Cough, cough!”
Emerald Glaze intended to take the two to somewhere.
However, she suddenly started coughing, and a hint of pain appeared in her originally elegant expression.
“Dean?”
“No, I’m fine…”
But in an instant, Emerald Glaze’s expression returned to what it was at the beginning: “I’m an old bone, making you two students worry.”
“Huh? But Dean, you look so young…”
“I’m not young anymore, but thank you, Classmate Lonis.”
…
…
Interacting with Dean Emerald, Lonis finally understood why Senior Yan said the Dean was a very friendly person!
Because she was truly gentle, explaining things slowly and deliberately, and never mocking Lonis for not knowing anything.
“Oh, so you mean… these ancient relics all have levels?”
“Yes, as you can see, this relic is called the ‘Pen of Sins.’ It is rated C-class with no objective dangers. Whoever touches it and writes on a notebook will unconsciously confess their sins.”
“So, so amazing!”
Lonis looked at the pen, her eyes observing it carefully.
But seeing Lonis’s silly appearance, Elus felt like teasing her and asked Emerald Glaze:
“Teacher, what would someone with no sins write with this pen?”
“No sins…”
“Yes, it is said that everyone makes mistakes. However, my maid is well-behaved every day and basically commits no sins. Can I let her write with it~”
(Elus!)
As soon as Elus said that, Lonis knew that this girl was teasing her again… But facing her “master’s” command, she had no choice but to obey.
“Classmate Lonis, would you like to try using it?”
Emerald Glaze smiled slightly and asked Lonis.
“Mm… I’m a little curious.”
“Then, please start writing on this paper.”
“Oh…”
The moment she picked up the pen, Lonis felt an inexplicable melancholy fill her heart.
She couldn’t explain this feeling, as if she had become a literary youth, exceptionally sentimental.
And so,
The words under her pen turned into:
I don’t know where I, drifting with the wind, will finally arrive.
But,
On this fallen leaf called Time, I have already written my name.
Ah…
Having fallen into the soil, can I still see the sunlight again?
Listening to the birds sing, breathing the fragrance of flowers.
The freedom of life is so beautiful.
I don’t want to lose,
I don’t want to fall asleep,
Even if covered in scars,
I want to fly with you across this world.
…
…
The moment she finished the last word, Lonis froze.
She had written all these words in one go as if she had lost her soul… Only now did Lonis feel a shame that came from the bottom of her heart.
This is too embarrassing!
This is too girlish!
It’s just like a diary written by a teenage girl, how could I write something like this?
However, looking at her own writing, Dean Emerald nodded and said, “Yes, your writing is very good, Classmate Lonis.”
“N-no, that’s not it, I…”
“To be human is to be sorry… Perhaps, this is the innate sin of many people. We are born to survive by consuming other creatures and plundering nature.”
“Wuwu, Teacher Emerald…”
“But at least I don’t think it’s a sin. Classmate Lonis has a kind heart, what a good child you are?”
Being comforted by Dean Emerald like this, Lonis felt as if she had returned to kindergarten, being carefully cherished by her elders…
At that time, because she was cute, she was especially welcomed by everyone?
It was only later, because she was a boy, that she thought it was wrong to pursue cuteness, so…
(No, no, now is not the time to think about such things, I…)
Just as Lonis was about to put away what she had written, Senior Yan on the side, as if she had discovered something, said in a panic:
“Th-that… Dean, it’s not good!”
“What is it, Yan.”
“The label is wrong. Ah… Th-this pen is not the ‘Pen of Sins’ that should be here, but the C+ rated relic ‘Pen of Love Letters’.”
“Huh?”
“What?”
Originally, Elus was just watching the show. But the moment she heard about the Pen of Love Letters, the black-haired girl’s expression became a little strange.
As for Lonis, after hearing the name “Love Letters,” she couldn’t even speak properly:
“Th-the Pen of Love Letters?”
“Yes, with this pen, you can honestly write love letters. The stronger the love in your heart, the more beautiful the writing will be.”
“How can such a thing be possible!”
Lonis refused to believe it, but Dean Emerald smiled slightly:
“Perhaps, after all this time, this relic might have malfunctioned.”
“Huh?”
“And organizing and analyzing ancient relics like this is what we learn in the Ancient Academy. Classmate Lonis, if you don’t mind, you can take this pen back for research.”
The blonde girl smiled slightly, her gaze penetrating Lonis’s heart, as if she had discovered something.
