Chapter 176: Lanchi's Good Deed Radar is Buzzing
Chapter 176: Lanchi's Good Deed Radar is Buzzing
As the clock struck three in the afternoon, the bells rang throughout the campus.
The old building of the Liberal Arts Department of the Magic Engineering Institute stood majestic and solemn in the afternoon sun, the ivy creeping up its walls like markings of time, recording the changes over the years.
On the third floor lay the student council room.
A gentle breeze blew in through the windows, carrying a refreshing scent, while the room was filled with the delicate aroma of tea. A freshly brewed pot of floral tea sat on the coffee table, with leaves dancing gracefully on the water's surface.
On the sofa in the lounge area, three student council members chatted leisurely, exuding an air of contentment and relaxation.
When they returned to the student council room after their break, they did not find the president or vice-president.
It seemed both of them were occupied with work and had not yet returned.
They didn't have to wait long.
"They're here."
The door to the student council room slowly opened, revealing the brown antique wood of the outer corridor.
Accompanied by the steady voice of the president, he walked in front, dressed in a neat and crisp uniform of a third-year student from the Alchemy Institute. His erect collar accentuated his spirited demeanor.
"Mr. President, we're back!"
The trio on the sofa turned towards the entrance of the student council room, greeting the president.
The president wore a confident and friendly smile, while the vice-president followed closely behind, dressed in an elegant long skirt, her steps light and her expression calm, exuding a quiet sense of companionship.
Monast walked towards his desk and placed the documents he was holding on the table. He then made his way to the sofa and sat down across from the trio.
The three students straightened up a little.
Usually, when the president came to the sofa to find them, he had a task to entrust to them.
This time, the first thing he did after greeting them was to have a conversation, indicating that there was a pile of work to be done.
"Mr. President, please let us know what tasks you have for us. We're well-rested and ready to go," Lanchi said to the president, his voice filled with a sense of responsibility.
It had been four days since he, the living Bodhisattva, had done any good deeds to mediate conflicts and disputes.
Recently, they had been hosting a visiting delegation from the Kingdom of Yarloran, and it happened to coincide with the busiest time of the entire semester.
With only the president, vice-president, and secretary in the student council, and lacking three capable officers, the president's workload had undoubtedly surged.
"Quite a few trivial things happened at school during the five days you were away," Monast thought for a moment, deciding to go through the matters one by one. He turned to Lanchi.
"First of all, Lanchi, your father, Mr. Noe Willford, came to the school last weekend and suffered a mild cardiovascular disease. He is now recuperating at the affiliated hospital of the Alchemy Institute."
"Dad came?"
Lanchi asked in surprise,
"How is that possible... Dad shouldn't have a history of cardiovascular disease."
Soon, his expression turned confused.
"... Lanchi, go and see your father later."
Huberian spoke softly from the side.
Lanchi was about to say something, but when he saw the look in Huberian's eyes—a mix of gentleness, admiration, and sorrow—he stopped and simply nodded.
Monast didn't rush to continue. He waited until Lanchi and Huberian finished their exchange before he spoke again:
"Another matter is that the leader of the Yarloran Royal Academy's academic visiting team, who is also the disciple of Knight Julianna of the Yarloran Kingdom, Adams, has expressed his desire to spar with the strongest student from the Sage's College."
As he spoke, President Monast glanced helplessly at Vice-President Asina,
"Originally, President Loren's recommended candidate was Asina. She is currently the strongest among the third-year students in the Sage's College. However, Asina has been busy with student council affairs lately and couldn't get away, so she politely declined the challenge.
"Despite Asina rarely showing her full strength, her true power has always been a mystery. Still, none of the teachers or students within the Sage's College have ever doubted her abilities."
"So, Dean Loren planned to have other students take on Adams, and his attitude was to not place too much emphasis on winning or losing."
"But then, another problem emerged."
"I don't know what those students were thinking, but they all expressed their reluctance to fight and ended up nominating you."
In the end, Monast could only look to Lanchi.
In this situation where someone had been singled out, they could only rely on Lanchi to handle it.
"Hmm?"
Lanchi was surprised that his senior classmates would hold him in such high regard.
What merit or ability did he, a first-year student, have to deserve representing the Sage's College in a battle?
"......"
Meanwhile, Huberian, Frey, and Asina silently exchanged glances, each understanding what the others were thinking.
Although Dean Loren didn't care about winning or losing, the students of the Sage's College felt a bit displeased by Adams' behavior, which seemed to be deliberately provoking their college.
So, they decided to play a trick and set a trap for Adams.
"At first, Adams thought we were making a fool of him by sending a first-year freshman to fight. But when he heard that you were the culprit behind the defeat of the Saint of Destruction, the winds of gossip began to shift. Even though Dean Loren strongly objected to you as his opponent, Adams became determined to face you."
Monast explained, "However, whether or not to accept the challenge is up to you. After all, this is just an exchange-based derby, and you are under no obligation to fight."
"......"
Lanchi's expression seemed to show that he wasn't very keen on the idea of fighting.
He had never been one to seek conflict; instead, he preferred to resolve disputes.
He didn't understand why people always seemed to enjoy engaging in meaningless battles.
Win or lose, nothing would change.
"Why is Knight Julianna's relationship with Dean Loren so bad?"
Frey, curious, asked the question that was on his mind.
Monast fell silent for a long moment.
"I heard this from someone else, so you mustn't go spreading it around," he cautioned. "It all started with Dean Loren's fiancee... "
And so, Monast proceeded to tell the story of how Loren and Julianna had come to know each other, the conflicts and disputes that arose, and how their misunderstandings gradually deepened.
"Dean Loren has always maintained clear boundaries with women, except for Miss Julianna, towards whom he showed special attention. However, as a noble, his marital engagements are quite complicated, and he's not the type to hurt others for his own sake. Coupled with his indecisive personality, a series of events led to the deepening misunderstandings between him and Julianna."
Monast sighed.
"I thought they truly disliked each other, but it turns out they're star-crossed lovers!"
However,
As the story came to an end,
Lanchi clapped his hands and stomped his foot, understanding everything.
"I must help Dean Loren fulfill this romance. I accept this challenge! Let Adams choose the time and content of the contest. Whether it's a battle of wits or strength, I will do my best for Dean Loren."
Lanchi declared with clear determination in his eyes.
His attitude had undergone a complete one-eighty.
"!!!"
Huberian quickly turned her head to look at Lanchi.
Seeing his fervent and spirited expression, she felt that something terrible was about to happen.
With Lanchi acting as the matchmaker, Dean Loren was surely in for a wild ride!
