Chapter 24: Casual Chat
"Fitoa territory?"
That night, Cinderella yawned and looked at Loki in front of her, saying, "That's a nice place..."
"But honestly, it's too early to think about it now," Cidelyn said slowly, gazing sleepily at the moon outside the window. "You still have two years until graduation."
Luo Qixi pursed her lips as she looked at the expressionless teacher. She thought the teacher would be happy for her, after all, she had received such an invitation before she had even graduated.
If I wait until I graduate, could I consider trying my luck at the court of the Kingdom of Asura?
"And..." Sidlin coughed, looking at Loki who seemed a little lost in thought, "If you don't pass my test in June... I will delay your graduation."
"Hmm." Luo Qixi couldn't help but feel a little worried upon hearing this, but then she thought... it doesn't seem like delaying graduation would be a problem... anyway, she can just rely on selling her blood to make ends meet...
No, no! I'm destined to become an adventurer, the strongest mage, how can I be content with selling my blood to make money!
So what if the teacher's test is difficult? I can't be afraid. I have a new staff... and I've learned to shorten my incantation...
Luo Qixi nodded firmly and clenched her fist: "I will definitely pass!"
"It's good that you're determined." Catherine nodded lightly, but she had to admit that she hoped her student wouldn't pass... so she could continue to leech off her for another year...
As for whether it will get boring or not... please, high-quality Cidrin's blood will never get boring, and while King Kyrie's blood is also good, it just has a rather unique taste... while Loki's blood has always maintained its high quality!
I'll never get tired of it!
Completely unaware of what her teacher was thinking, Luo Qixi stared intently at the magic spellbook in front of her, looking determined to work hard.
But seeing her like this, Cinderella raised an eyebrow and said, "You've been watching a lot of water magic lately, haven't you?"
"Ah... yes, teacher." Loki nodded, snapping out of her reverie. "After all, my specialty is water magic, and this staff has the highest water magic amplification."
"I see..." Cinderella nodded thoughtfully. She had an idea in her mind that she wanted to try on her students... but was it possible?
She remained silent for a few seconds, ultimately deciding not to continue the topic. Indeed, she needed to investigate more carefully... not only because she had never tried this before, but also because she needed to carefully determine whether she was qualified.
"Oh, right." As if remembering something, Catherine asked, "This morning... I remember you were arguing with those professors about something, right?"
This morning... Ah, yes... Luo Qixi had almost forgotten about it, but the teacher reminded her and she remembered.
Did I do something wrong...? Did I impulsively rush up and argue with those professors or something...? The teachers must be ashamed of me, right?
"I'm sorry... I'm sorry, teacher," Luo Qixi said softly. "I shouldn't have argued with them this morning."
"Yes," Catherine nodded, "It shouldn't be like that."
"Because you're already stupid enough, talking to even stupider people... will affect your intelligence."
"Huh?" Luo Qixi was stunned. She thought it was just something the teacher said this morning... a harsh remark... but did the teacher really think that way?
"Otherwise what?" Catherine retorted. "Do you really think a fool will listen to you just because you're right?"
“Idiots are idiots because they never change,” Catherine said, shrugging. “That’s why I try to avoid talking to them.”
"I feel like you're just lazy, teacher... um!" Realizing what she was doing, Luo Qixi quickly covered her mouth.
Am I too tired today? Why did I blurt out my true feelings?
"Huh? What did you just say?"
Fortunately, the teacher didn't seem to have heard her clearly, and Luo Qixi subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief: "N-nothing, teacher!"
"It's nothing." Cidelyn was too lazy to argue with this dim-witted apprentice any longer, and casually asked, "So you'll have to know this from now on."
"Just ignore whatever idiots say."
"Even if they...were they attacking you, teacher?"
"Even if they're attacking... so they're attacking me?" Cinderella frowned immediately, looking at Loki and slowly asking, "Do you remember who it was?"
"Well……"
Didn't we agree not to argue with idiots?
For some reason, looking at the teacher's unusually serious face despite its youthful appearance, Luo Qixi suddenly felt like laughing... She didn't know if it was because of the teacher's expression or because of the teacher's words.
She couldn't help but purse her lips... No, if she smiled in front of the teacher, it would definitely make the teacher angry.
"Don't misunderstand, I was just asking casually." Cidelyn coughed as if she had noticed something and said, "As the headmistress... I am very magnanimous."
"..."
Luo Qixi felt a little uncomfortable trying to suppress her laughter.
Teacher, please stop talking about this kind of thing, okay?
Seeing Loki's silence, Cinderella was a little confused...
Well, after all, he's my stupid apprentice... Did I say that word too many times tonight?
However… considering that she was so angry because those professors attacked her… Cinderella was still a little happy, well… just a little bit, not much.
It's probably similar to when I received a gift...
Sidley stared blankly at Loki, making her slightly nervous. She coughed and asked softly, "Teacher...did you know His Majesty the King before?"
"Ah..." Loki's question startled Cinderella, after all, it had nothing to do with magic... and in her memory, Loki wasn't usually such a gossipy person...
Could she really have fallen for Edward...?
Cidelina frowned and said, "This has nothing to do with magic."
"Ah... Teacher, I was just a little curious." Seeing that the topic had been changed, Luo Qixi said somewhat perfunctorily. She wasn't actually very curious about these things.
After all, for some reason, King Edward... she felt that the man was a bit strange, and this inexplicable feeling made her not very willing to have much contact with him.
"Is that so?" Cidel paused, then suddenly smiled. "Then you'd better not be too curious... because curious students get eaten by the Speralds!"
"Sperud...Sperud race!" Upon hearing this word, Loki immediately turned pale with fright, and her body even began to tremble.
So scared...? Are you a Sperud?
Seeing Loki's appearance, Cinderella blinked, then, as if remembering something, licked her teeth and pressed them against Loki's neck.
Indeed... the blood tastes even better in this state.
Maybe I should scare her more often in the future?
