Chapter 119

‘Thank god.’

Ian sighed softly after confirming the title.

The northern half is bigger than anticipated, and it’s tough to look until you’re a skilled.

The North was broader than he had imagined and tough to look with out specialists. The relentless snowfall, unpredictable terrain, and the shortage of self-sustaining sources made the duty even tougher.

Ian, Danya, and Lina kept away from taking part within the search to keep away from turning into a burden. Among the many personnel introduced by the Third Princess, there have been expert people like Karen who may deal with the duty extra successfully.

‘After all, I assumed they’d discover her shortly.’

He was relieved that the rescue was quicker than anticipated.

If there hadn’t been information in just a few days, he had deliberate to push himself to return to the North.

He wanted to get to the put up workplace shortly to verify the main points of the telegram.

“Scholar Ian?”

A chilly voice interrupted his ideas.

It was like the coolness of frost.

Wanting up, he noticed Professor Violet staring down at him. Her gaze was icy.

These eyes are infinitely chilly.

‘Come to consider it, I didn’t inform her after I went to the North.’

Professor Violet was in control of the Mezai class and had helped him considerably throughout the Disciplinary Committee.

‘Hmm.’

He realized he had dedicated many offenses.

The vein on her brow pulsed with what appeared like real anger.

“Sure, Professor.”

“Did you hear what I simply stated?”

Ian felt a shiver run by way of his physique at her stern tone.

If he admitted his consideration was on the Kirtos terminal, he feared he’d be dragged off as a check topic.

“I did hear you…”

“Then, what did I say?”

“Congratulations, Professor, for being chosen as probably the most stunning professor by the Academy’s college students.”

— Snap!

He regarded all the way down to see a chunk of white chalk embedded midway into the desk.

A bead of chilly sweat trickled down his again.

‘That didn’t work.’

Professor Violet’s expression didn’t change a bit.

It appeared like she was speaking concerning the promotion examination, and it was the suitable time for such an announcement.

“You have been speaking concerning the promotion examination.”

“Anybody with ears may have heard that. I belief {that a} scholar like Ian wouldn’t neglect his responsibility by closing his ears and doing one thing else, particularly after all of the help from his professor.”

Smile.

She smiled, her expression sharp as a sword.

“I belief Ian, so why don’t you share some particulars?”

Ian racked his mind for particular particulars…

“The upcoming promotion examination entails all first-year college students in a battle royale… ahem, a point-based survival occasion. Factors will be earned by defeating monsters and different entities. The objective is to outlive so long as attainable whereas accumulating the very best factors.”

“And the situation?”

I hope you’re nicely.

I at all times marvel what I ought to provide you with. Each night time, I consider you, and I solely want in your security…

“Pfft!”

What is that this?

Why did this immediately flip right into a love letter?

…Don’t fear.

The primary few strains of telegrams touring by way of the Empire’s info community are sometimes crammed with such frivolous content material to keep away from interception. Though, since all of my letters are intercepted, it doesn’t matter a lot.

Anyway, to the purpose.

We efficiently rescued Sasha Asilia, the Snowflake Swordmaster.

Sharon, that child discovered it surprisingly shortly.

Each Sharon and Seolhwageomje are presently recuperating.

Sharon discovered her extremely shortly. Each Sharon and the Snowflake Swordmaster are presently recuperating. The Snowflake Swordmaster is a bit exhausted however in any other case in surprisingly good situation. Sharon, nevertheless, wants a bit extra time to get well as she pushed herself fairly arduous.

As per your request, the royal priest is staying with them to watch their restoration.

I really feel comfy, having repaid a part of my debt to you.

By the best way, the affairs within the North are greater than half resolved. As I discussed earlier than, a month ought to be sufficient.

P.S. When the Snowflake Swordmaster requested about your wellbeing, I instructed her you have been in nice spirits. She insisted there isn’t any want so that you can go to. She’s fairly nervous about you, marveling at the way you entice girls wherever you go. Maybe it’s best to tackle my title.

P.P.S. Usually, I write higher letters than this. Please perceive that I wrote this in a rush

… What can I say?

…How typical of Princess Asteria.

Her confidence in sharing tricks to keep away from interception, regardless of realizing her letters are intercepted, is astounding.

“Extra importantly, I couldn’t afford such an costly telegram.”

Ian assumed the princess had a particular charge.

Regardless, he was relieved that his grasp was in higher situation than he had feared. He had requested the royal priest to remain behind simply in case, and their reassurance meant all the pieces was certainly alright.

However why did the closing strains really feel a bit scary? Was it simply his creativeness?

“Is there one thing fallacious with the telegram?”

The involved put up workplace clerk inquired, noticing Ian’s expression.

“Oh, no. Thanks.”

“Are you certain? Generally telegrams can get broken, so I simply wished to verify. Would you wish to ship a reply? The fee is roofed by the sender, as much as 5 strains.”

“Ah…”

Ian contemplated for a second.

Although relieved about his grasp’s situation, he was nervous about one thing.

Might his grasp really really feel comfy in a spot the place Richard’s presence nonetheless lingered?

He took out a chunk of paper from his pocket and handed it to the clerk.

“Might you ship this?”

“After all.”

It was one of many notices he had picked up from the Scholar Council.
