Chapter 622: Principal Lan Pushed Loren to His Limits
Chapter 622: Principal Lan Pushed Loren to His Limits
A young Loren.
Today, he was meeting up with Juliana.
Good luck, Loren, our newly appointed dean, the students whispered, their hopes riding on his shoulders.
A young woman with light blue hair sat at a street corner cafe, jotting down notes in her notebook while leisurely sipping on an iced coffee as if on vacation.
Perched around Lu Vishir's neck was a magic recording camera, and on her chest, two work badges were pinned.
In addition to being the student council secretary, Lu Vishir was also a reporter for the Hutton Times.
It was 8:10 am on a Saturday morning.
From time to time, she would glance towards the distant walking plaza.
Under a large tree in the distance, a young man stood anxiously next to a circular wooden bench.
"Kukulka, the nature of a journalist is not so different from that of a detective. When we're tailing an eighth-rank powerhouse, we can't afford to have our attention fully on them or we risk being discovered. We have to keep our distance and go about our business in the commercial district, recording whatever we can by chance. Today, let's just enjoy ourselves and not worry too much about getting any shots," Lu Vishir said, looking up from her table at the dark-haired junior sitting across from her.
Lu Vishir had been working tirelessly these past few days, helping with student council matters and socializing with the academic visitation team from the Royal College of Yarlolan, all in the hopes of uncovering information about Dean Loren's date with Miss Juliana.
And her cute junior, Kukulka, an exchange student from Yarlolan Royal College, had been a great help.
Kukulka was now an intern at the Hutton Times, and the editor-in-chief had placed her under Lu Vishir's guidance.
"I understand, senior," Kukulka nodded, her head lowering as her eyes reflected her disdain for Loren.
That man... Today, he finally gave in to his desires and made his move on Miss Juliana.
A succubus...
She thought with a mix of fear and hatred.
"It's a shame that Fred isn't here. Otherwise, with a case like this, I wouldn't have to investigate personally. I could just hire him and get all the information I need," Lu Vishir sighed, noticing Kukulka's nervousness as she accompanied her on this undercover assignment for the first time.
That adorable junior had gone missing since the start of the semester.
He was expensive, but other than that, he had no flaws.
Recently, he seemed to have taken on a request from his teacher, the Knight Master Sventos, regarding the disappearance of his senior, Duke Migaya. It sounded like a joke, though.
After all, as amazing as Fred was, it seemed far-fetched that he could truly track down clues about Duke Migaya.
"Fred..."
Kukulka vaguely recalled the name. She had heard about the student council's achievements even before she arrived at Ikelite Academy.
"Next time he's back, if there's someone you want to investigate, you can hire him. As long as the price is right, he can get the job done," Lu Vishir briefed Kukulka on Fred's services.
"Okay, that's great..."
Kukulka clenched her fists, as if she had just received a crucial piece of intelligence.
"Shh, they're here," Lu Vishir whispered, noticing the approaching figures.
...
In the Ikelite walking plaza, a bustling commercial district, people were already out and about on this Saturday morning.
A man stood quietly at the agreed-upon location, his eyes occasionally scanning the passing crowd before settling on the distance.
Loren was dressed casually today, looking stylish and sleek, a far cry from his usual dignified self in a black shirt. He exuded the aura of a dashing young man.
"Instructor, are you sure this will be alright?" Loren muttered almost silently.
He had been swamped with work these past few days, and this rare day off had been hard-earned. He had barely managed to squeeze out some time for himself to go on this date with Juliana.
However, his old friend, the Grand Paladin Florence of the Fate Goddess Church, had also expressed a desire to meet with him today, traveling a great distance to do so. Loren had no idea how long he would be staying in Ikelite, and Loren didn't know how to refuse, as canceling on a sworn brother for a date would surely disappoint him.
Moreover, he could receive a communication from the church at any moment, requiring him to coordinate with the Ice Snow Witch.
She had been handling church affairs on his behalf lately, and it would be absurd for him to suddenly abandon his responsibilities.
If the Ice Snow Witch found out that he had dumped the work on her and gone off on a date, she would undoubtedly be furious.
Just thinking about her cold expression made Loren feel afraid.
[Rest assured, just follow the schedule I've made for you.]
The voice of the mysterious Love Instructor came through the invisible magic earpiece.
These past two days, Loren had been seeking help from this instructor, who could be said to be his last hope.
[First, focus on your date with Juliana. Take her to the theater and get her settled in the audience seats. Find an opportunity to excuse yourself temporarily to meet with the Grand Paladin, then rush back to continue your date with Miss Juliana. If necessary, you can always say you need to use the restroom and ask Juliana to wait for you. Handle any church business quickly and return as soon as possible, ensuring that the Ice Snow Witch remains at the church shrine.]
The instructor reminded him through the earpiece.
"Won't this be too dangerous...?" Loren's worries grew.
Theoretically, his schedule had become so complex that it resembled a tangled web, with multiple tasks to be accomplished at each time point, leaving no room for error.
To facilitate his movements, today's date venues were all located near the Fate Goddess Church's shrine in Ikelite.
With his wind magic agility, he could reach any of these places within a minute.
Such an outrageous plan would never have occurred to him if not for the instructor's guidance.
[Extreme operations inevitably come with corresponding risks. If you want to satisfy everyone's demands, the only solution is to bring them all to the same place while ensuring they don't cross paths.]
The Love Instructor advised.
"..." Loren fell silent.
This was beyond extreme.
Would anyone in their right mind actually attempt such a date in reality?
[Isn't your goal to make everyone happy? How can you achieve that without steeling yourself?]
The instructor continued to question Loren.
"..." After some internal struggle, Loren's expression firmed up, as if he had finally made a difficult decision.
He felt ashamed that, over the past two days of learning from the Love Instructor, the instructor had asked him many questions about the lady in question, but Loren could barely answer any of them.
He had never seen the day-to-day life of Juliana, and their previous interactions had mostly been related to official business or joint combat operations.
Fortunately, the instructor was a patient and dedicated teacher, guiding him with a sense of responsibility and enthusiasm that moved Loren.
