Chapter 210: Principal Lanchi's Lessons on Love
"A...a princess? Lanchi, what are you talking about?!"
Sophia was so startled that her tears stopped, and her face turned red as she spoke.
Although she genuinely liked Ainol, she never expected Lanchi to help her to that extent!
But...
These words echoed in her mind, causing her heartbeat to accelerate uncontrollably.
Could she really become a princess if she listened to Lanchi?
"Student Sophia, a fountain's height cannot exceed its source," Lanchi replied patiently, as always, clarifying her doubts. "If you don't have such a wish from the beginning, it's almost impossible to achieve. Relying on the whims of fate is incredibly difficult."
Sophia listened with wide eyes, feeling a little dazed.
"Oh..."
She seemed confused, lost in a maze of thoughts, as if she were reflecting on her own issues.
"Think about it, doesn't Karen's appearance prove my point? While this world is filled with fantasy and beauty, it's also dangerous and complex. Good people won't go to bad places, but bad people will come to good places. Your relationship with Ainol won't be as smooth as you imagined it to be when you were young. Not everyone is like me, willing to help lovers unite."
Leaning back on the sofa, Lanchi spoke like a wise philosopher.
"Lanchi...!"
Next to him, Huberian whispered and poked Lanchi repeatedly with her fingers.
She felt that neither Lanchi nor Sophia noticed—
From her perspective, Lanchi looked like a benevolent yet evil god, seducing Sophia down a path of corruption!
Stop, this isn't how sweet love stories go!
However, on the other side of the room.
After a long pause.
Sophia finally realized something.
"So that's how it is..."
Sophia murmured to herself, lost in thought.
Lanchi's words shattered her self-deception.
She realized that effortless love stories only existed in fairy tales, and reality would never be that kind. As for her prince... it was up to her to take control!
Gradually, Sophia's eyes lit up, and her epiphany seemed to be accompanied by a hint of chaos—a fanatical trust and desire.
"Professor Lanchi, please teach me how to capture Ainol's heart! I want to tighten his dull heart and make him devoted only to me!"
Sophia finally shouted out her wish.
Huberian was stunned.
It's over.
Yet another normal person corrupted by Lanchi's influence.
"Excellent, I'll help you, but first, tell me what happened these past few days. We should deal with any urgent issues first, and then slowly tackle the important matters before they become emergencies."
Lanchi nodded in response.
As the principal, he always encouraged young people to actively pursue romance. He believed in promoting healthy, free love among young men and women who were fond of each other, using the prince and princess as role models. This would have a positive impact on increasing the birth rate and maintaining an excellent population structure in the Kingdom of Hutton.
He never refused to play matchmaker for students.
And when His Royal Highness Ainol saw the transformed Sophia after some time, he would surely be delighted.
Vice President Asena brought them a tray of matcha cake and drinks.
Although no one knew why it was matcha-flavored today, it was just right.
Sophia then began to tell them the story of what had happened in recent days.
The climax was when Karen invited Prince Ainol to observe the [Original Stone Tablet-Wind] with her.
"She... she mocked and pitied me," Sophia said, growing angrier as she recalled the incident, wiping away her tears and choking up.
Obviously, Karen had bullied her terribly.
"I understand now," Lanchi nodded after hearing her out.
"Alright, I'll help you deal with Karen first. When you're less busy with student council work, feel free to make appointments to visit me and Huberian. I'll give you guidance, and the rest will be up to you."
"The most crucial event at the moment is that Karen has invited Prince Ainol to accompany her in observing the [Original Stone Tablet-Wind] this weekend."
Headmaster Loren had actually discussed this matter with Lanchi.
Originally, Loren had promised to let Lanchi view the tablet first.
However, due to Loren's busy schedule lately and Karen's limited time at the Ekelith, Loren negotiated with Lanchi, allowing Karen to cut in line or, if Lanchi was willing, they could view it together, as Karen was completely amenable to the idea, and she was easy to talk to.
Lanchi was also easy to get along with and agreed to let Karen go first, saying it was no problem.
Observing the [Original Stone Tablet] was an extremely unique experience, not in the literal sense of observing a magic card. Instead, when the holder summoned the physical tablet, which usually didn't appear in battles, they could consume a significant amount of magic power to open a temporary void portal, allowing the observer to enter a mysterious domain within the tablet, akin to a shadow world, and witness the countless barrier spells.
Since that domain would begin to reject living beings after a certain amount of time, preventing further entry, the amount of insight one could gain within the limited time depended entirely on their affinity with that type of magic and their innate magical engineering talent.
Every time a talented magic craftsman observed the stone tablet, the scholars of the Magic Tower would come to inquire about their findings, making the exploration of the Original Stone Tablets a popular area of study in the present day.
However, as Headmaster Loren enjoyed an excellent reputation among the many friendly allied kingdoms and was undoubtedly one of the strongest people in the Southern Continent, the [Original Stone Tablet-Wind] had become the most frequently observed stone tablet. Therefore, unless there was a significant breakthrough, it usually didn't attract much attention.
On the other hand, if anyone were to observe Bishop Ivanoth's [Original Stone Tablet-Fire], the very heart of the Destruction Church, it would cause a significant stir in the entire scholarly world and even in the magical engineering community of the Southern Continent, regardless of what they discovered.
The reason was that no one from the righteous path had observed the [Original Stone Tablet-Fire] in the past decade, resulting in a significant lack of research on it in academic circles.
But now, Lanchi had a new idea, and he was going to find Headmaster Loren right after this.
He might as well help reduce Headmaster Loren's workload a little, so he wouldn't have to set aside special time later to let Lanchi view the [Original Stone Tablet-Wind] again.
After hearing Lanchi's words, Sophia became a little worried.
"But... how are you going to deal with her?"
She glanced at Lanchi and Huberian and asked.
Lanchi was always dignified and courteous and could even be described as very gentlemanly.
On the other hand, Karen was a scheming and unscrupulous green tea btch.
Although Lanchi seemed to understand love very well, Sophia was concerned that he might be at a disadvantage if he got directly involved, as gentlemen often struggled to deal with such manipulative women.
"Rest assured, as long as you face any difficulty with a sincere heart, everything will be fine," Lanchi replied calmly.
"A sincere heart?"
"Yes."
"..."
Listening to the conversation between Lanchi and Sophia, Huberian felt like she had discovered a severe problem.
How could Lanchi not realize that he was a green tea btch?!
Did he truly believe that he was being sincere?
Furthermore, taking a step back, why would there be a situation where "a girl asks a male green tea btch to help her compete with another female green tea btch for a man"?
At this moment, Huberian was worried that after Lanchi helped Sophia fulfill her wish, Sophia would give Lanchi good reviews at school.
She did not want Lanchi to develop this "love guidance" business any further.
His welding-style matchmaking was too terrifying.
If everyone started coming to the student council to seek Lanchi's advice on love, the school's atmosphere would eventually become distorted!
This guy was not Cupid!
