Chapter 167: Ranci's Surprise

eachers in the back, four demon teachers sat on four large chairs facing the stage, listening to the student's musical performance as if they were judges.Rance gazed at this bizarre structure, though...Chapter 168: The Surprise Lanci Prepared

In the spacious garden beneath the old humanities building of the Magic Engineering Institute, plants bathed in the morning mist and sunlight, releasing a sweet fragrance. The air was filled with the chirping of goldfinches, the buzzing of bees, and the gentle gurgling of a stream.

Two figures stood on this open grassy field, where flowers bloomed everywhere, talking to each other.

"Why do you suspect you've been scammed"

Little reporter Louis asked.

"Actually, I received a parking ticket. The amount is too large and outrageous, so I have to personally verify it."

Noah sighed.

The more Noe thought about it, the more he felt that it was Lance, that useless kid, who had been clever and caused a blunder, making the wrong party issue the fine.

But then again, if Lance really has this level of forgery skills, he'll never have to worry about making a living.

Either great wealth or a kingdom's prison will see to Lanci's well-being.

Noe also remembered the last time he saw Lance, when Lance was deeply engrossed in his legal studies.

> It is very likely that this kid went down the wrong path from then on.

The most urgent thing is to check with the Mage's Guild before the deadline on the fine.

If the ticket is fake, Noel will definitely be strict this time and bring this kid back on track.

If this were true, Noah's feelings would actually be quite complex.

Because it explains—this kid really got into the Academy of Sages successfully.

"Could you show me the ticket Maybe I can help you identify if it's real or not."

"Lovelace chuckled," he said.

Although she is not a business major, as an intelligence studies major, she is better at identifying the authenticity of documents.

Thank you.

Noah readily produced the ticket.

Rueville took the ticket and read it carefully.

Soon, she smiled again.

"Let me tell you, these hefty fines issued in the name of private individuals from the Ecthelion Academy are mostly fake. They're a common scam. A legitimate fine should be issued in a public-to-public manner, not a private-to-public one. Professor Polao, a renowned artificer, wouldn't do something like extorting wealthy merchants..."

However, he had only just begun to speak.

She saw that the recipient's name was Noah Wilford.

"!"

Immediately, the young reporter, Louis Verchères, looked surprised and stood at attention before Nol, his chest puffed out and his expression serious as he saluted him.

"Classmate... what's wrong with you"

Noe was originally going to arrest Lance after hearing what Ruveishil said, but for some reason, her attitude did a complete 180-degree turn.

"I have one thing to guarantee you."

Luvixi's tone changed, sounding a bit like an announcer.

"What"

Noah swallowed nervously and asked.

Wouldn't this ticket point to a larger crime

"This ticket must be real."

Levi handed the tickets back to Noah with both hands.

"So you're telling me that kid is actually here at this school!"

Noe's eyes widened. "Lanchi, you don't even know any magic! How did you get into the Academy of Sages!"

I couldn't find any information about its entrance exam no matter how hard I tried to investigate and verify it.

The more Noe investigated, the more he felt like the applicant's admission letter was fake.

The result turned out to be true.

He was starting to question his life a little.

Of course! This school can't do without him! Every report about his deeds is very well-received!

Louveillier turned and said with glee.

"Every time"

"That's right."

Reginald nodded in agreement.

"Can you describe what you know about that Ranch Wilford"

Noe was worried that he and the young reporter were chatting across servers.

He has black hair and green eyes. He is very handsome and looks harmless, gentle and polite. Sometimes his behavior is very strange, making people wonder about his mental state.

Ruehl described it vividly.

"

Hiss...

"

Noah scratched his head in confusion after hearing that.

It's definitely his family's idiot, isn't it

Besides being good-looking, he's useless and still has those everyday silly moments. He gets wild when he drinks.

Although the journalist's critique is quite sharp, these are indeed facts.

Did Lance get into any trouble at school

Noah immediately asked the question that worried him most.

"Hmm... no, there isn't."

Louis pondered for a moment before replying.

Ranch always does good things at school!

She always also hears from President Monastère praise for Lanci's work being down-to-earth and well-mannered.

As for outside the school, he did just pull off a major heist yesterday—he took out the Annihilation Saintess of the Rebirth Church. Presumably, Lance is now at the top of the Rebirth Church's wanted list.

It is not possible to determine how much Rancher paid on the cult's bounty list.

"That classmate, do you know how to find Lance"

Noe breathed a sigh of relief and finally smiled with contentment.

I didn't expect this kid to be a bit of a surprise.

As long as nothing major happens at school, that's all good!

Lance ended up just as expected, not making much of a splash in this capital city. After all, Lance was just that kind of paper tiger, a silly and spoiled young master, far from being some devil who evolves into an uncontrollable force given the right environment.

Now Noah feels like the big stone that was weighing on his heart has vanished. He is very happy.

The 8,000 fine he didn't mind at all; it was just a celebration of Rance successfully getting into the Icterus Academy.

"Well, I might not be able to find it right now, he's live streaming."

Lucius glanced at the clock tower's hands in the distance.

Ranch just entered the Shadow World yesterday morning, and this Shadow World will not end for another four days. Before that, Ranch definitely cannot be found at school.

"It should be starting soon, they say this morning's program will be a special performance show combining art, culture, and science. I was planning to head to the Jera Memorial Square to gather some footage for my reports. Are you going to check it out first or go straight to the Arcane Academy"

Lucien immediately turned to Noe and asked.

Lancy and others slept later, going offline at 2 am. Before going offline, they announced that they would not be live again until after 9 am today.

Then the time is just right now.

Being able to spend time with Lance day and night, Lance's father must have a very high psychological tolerance. Seeing Lance's appearance in the Shadow World shouldn't cause much fluctuation in his heartbeat.

"Well, I'd like to see what this kid is up to."

Noé laughed.

Since the ticket is real, he's not in a rush to go to the Magic Engineering Institute to check.

Could that boy possibly have any other talents to perform for the entire school and the passersby in the capital

I'm so happy.

He can't wait to admire it.

Please vote for me, I beg you! / I bow to you, please vote for me!
