Chapter 68: Invitation
“Huh?” Due to Damiyala’s words, Tyr’s mind went blank for a moment, unable to comprehend the true meaning behind what the other person said.
Do you like Yuehai yourself?
“Does that mean liking oneself? Tyr couldn’t help but feel goosebumps all over his body. Although he cherished himself, he hadn’t reached the point of liking himself, even if this ‘self’ were a woman.”
Before Tyr could recover his senses, Damiyala continued, “Now everyone’s relationship is very harmonious. You should be able to see that, right?”
Tyr couldn’t deny this statement. Whether it was Constantine or Neruko, these people enlivened the atmosphere for Claude and Tyr, bringing a simple sense of cohesion to their small group. Although they hadn’t reached intimacy yet, their relationships were indeed gradually becoming harmonious, allowing them to see more of each other’s private sides.
Seeing Tyr didn’t object, Damiyala continued, “So, for the sake of this balance, I don’t think you should pursue Yuehai at this time.”
“No, I don’t want to…” Tyr’s words were cut short as Damiyala shook her head slightly, preventing him from explaining further.
“I don’t want to hear your explanation. It’s just that we’re still young, and there’s plenty of time. If you reveal the mystery you want to uncover here, then what about us? How should we treat you in the future? Claude and you are not only roommates and classmates but also fellow townsmen. How should you face each other then?”
At this point, why did Claude’s name come up? Tyr was puzzled, but Damiyala didn’t explain further, as this was already well known. She didn’t want to inquire any further.
Tyr obviously didn’t perceive the seriousness of the matter, as he wasn’t one to bother with such things out of boredom. Therefore, the vague hint from Damiyala now went completely over his head. But overall, it wasn’t something he found difficult to accept. Essentially, it meant not to “harass” Yuehai, right? Well, if there were really something to deal with in the future, he could always handle it discreetly. Although being caught by Dragon Slayer last time was a mistake that cost him dearly, Tyr had learned his lesson. He was not the kind of man to stumble in the same place twice!
“Alright, I promise you.”
After Tyr uttered these words, Damiyala also smiled.
””Very good, this is the Tyr gentleman who aimed to surpass tens of millions of people at that magic competition.”
“Right now, we’re just classmates. We’re all starting from the same point. As you said, there’s plenty of time. Let’s discuss some things later.”
“It’s good that Tyr knows.” Damiyala nodded slightly, while Neruko quietly breathed a sigh of relief beside her. After all, it was hard to gauge Tyr’s emotions behind his mask. No matter what she said, it seemed like Tyr was staring at her with a cold expression, which made her feel a bit uneasy.
“Hmm?!” Tyr suddenly emitted a strange low groan, catching the attention of the two, and he waved slightly.
“It’s nothing, don’t worry about it.”
After all, this unexpected incident happened to the Yuehai on the other side.
As Yuehai walked out of the cafeteria, contemplating how to rescue himself as Tyr, suddenly a senior in a black coat approached. He wore round, old-fashioned glasses, and his smirk reminded Yuehai of the person’s identity in an instant.
Kaga, at that time, when I was still Tyr, was the one who examined me during the academy assessment.
Seeing Kaga walking straight towards him, Yuehai quickly bowed.
“This senior, do you have something to discuss with me?”
“Oh? Quite sharp, huh? Yes, indeed, there is something I need to discuss with you, but it’s not me—it’s the Student Council President.”
Kaga didn’t linger on Yuehai’s face for long, and his expression and tone remained unchanged. A person who can communicate with Yuehai in such a calm manner has probably reached a level of mental fortitude as solid as a rock.
“Oh! Yuehai, who just realized what was said, was stunned for a moment, then asked, ‘S-Senior, what did you say?'”
“President Ku is looking for you.”
“Ah!!”
“Are you going or not?”
“Sure sure sure.” Yuehai nodded hastily. Kaga’s rapid-fire manner almost caught Yuehai off guard, but fortunately, she had seen a bit of the world and wasn’t easily intimidated.
Upon hearing Yuehai’s agreement, Kaga nodded and led the way outside the Yusheng Tower with Yuehai in tow.
“Today we’ve made up for all your missed classes, so you won’t fall behind in points. If you have anything else, you can use the magic sound stone to contact someone you’re familiar with. If you need to use it, now is the time. After all, you wouldn’t want a magic sound stone to ring during your conversation with the president, right?”
Kaga’s reminder was reasonable. If Damiyala and the others couldn’t find her and were extremely worried, they might indeed use the magic sound stone to contact her. It would be very embarrassing if she were in a conversation with the president at that moment.
With this in mind, Yuehai quickly used the magic sound stone to contact Damiyala and the others. Although they were very surprised, they accepted it.
After hanging up, Yuehai breathed a deep sigh of relief.
The president of the Avalon Student Union, Ku, was not just a student with high status and influence in the academy. He also had the authority to intervene in the constitutions of the two major giants and dictate their order. His status was no less than that of the royal palace.
With such an important figure about to meet her, Yuehai had a strange premonition that the Student Union might be the breakthrough point for her to obtain one of the Three Sacred Treasures, “Vigilance and Watching.”
Arriving at the flying train station in District Nine, Kaga and Yuehai boarded the train.
“We’re heading to District Fifteen. The Student Union headquarters is located there.”
“I see.” Yuehai nodded in agreement. Kaga wasn’t someone who disliked talking, but she seemed to be more comfortable opening up to male classmates. Yuehai, on the other hand, appeared reserved and was considered a stunning beauty. Even though Kaga’s mindset was quite healthy, she still tended to be more reserved in her speech, especially around someone like Yuehai. What could have been a witty remark, after being rehearsed countless times in his mind, was eventually expressed in just a few words.
The cold demeanor made Yuehai wonder if she had misjudged Kaga. After all, when Kaga led them into the academy, she was quite humorous and witty.
Before reaching the Fourteenth District, the splendidly decorated buildings were already presenting themselves before Yuehai’s eyes. Unlike the buildings in the Ninth District, the style here leaned entirely towards the ancient Eastern style of the Vermilion Bird Empire. Moreover, the main color tone of all the buildings was red. The feeling of flames that seemed to burst forth at a glance made Yuehai’s eyes light up. The Vermilion Bird Empire was truly a country that understood ‘enjoyment’, even showing considerable skill in architecture.
Seeing Yuehai’s keen interest, Kaga pondered for a moment before speaking.
“The Fifteenth District is formed by students from the Vermilion Bird Empire, including the Architecture Department, the Swordsmanship Department, the Tea Ceremony Department, and the Stealth Society. Its architectural style naturally leans towards ancient Eastern aesthetics. In fact, during the annual ‘District Environment Awards’, the Fifteenth District often ranks among the top or even takes first place.”
