e. After all, you also know that you can't find your father on your own... But by then, you will have lost all dignity, I assure you."He lowered his voice and said to Huberly.His intention was to humi...Chapter 42: The Lynch Law Firm

As it neared four thirty in the afternoon, the sun had slanted down from its high position. Through the tall floor-to-ceiling windows, it cast a warm light across one side of the classroom. The color of the light deepened, taking on an orangey gold hue, adding a softness to the room.

The table, the empty chairs, and the steps were all reflecting a shimmer like sand, as if silently telling stories about time.

At the back of the classroom, behind the spacious wooden table, there were only Huberly and Lance.

Huperlyan didn't know why Ranch was looking at her.

But she thought about it for a moment, then met Lance's gaze, staring into his beautiful emerald eyes, and advised him.

"Lance, from now on, please don't involve yourself in my affairs. You don't need to be implicated..."

However, when Ranch heard this, he was not moved. He just blinked his eyes, his expression calm and unruffled.

I won't stand by and watch my friends get bullied, and didn't you also want to defend me when Mordan previously called me a "terrible lawyer"

Lance smiled, to kindness he always responded with kindness.

"Anyway, if you need any legal help, you can come to Room 101 of the Wise Men's Residence. When I pass the bar exam, I can hang a sign outside my door that says [Ranch Law Firm]."

"...."

Hubert once again fell into a state of being unable to respond to any words.

……

Lan Qi's words were overheard by other students inadvertently.

Lance, who looked exhausted and didn't feel like talking to strangers, was left undisturbed.

But many people are eager to see what Lange and Huberli will say next.

The school rules at the Iketeru School are actually quite humane.

Because there were often students with unique skills, such as blacksmiths, sculptors, painters, cooks, pharmacists, and card makers, their dormitories became as popular as shops, frequently visited by students from all colleges and years.

The school tacitly permitted this diversified social life in the campus.

But the law firm…

It seems like I've never really heard of it before.

Who the heck needs a lawyer at school!

This is a magic academy, not a law school!

……

The trees on campus sway gently in the breeze, their shadows dancing on the classroom floor like a silent ballet.

Some students walked back and forth on the paths in the campus. Distant laughter and chatter occasionally drifted into the classroom, making time both unreal and incredibly real at the same time.

After all.

After much deliberation, Huberlian finally nodded and accepted Lanche's sincere kindness.

If I could find my father, I would have him offer you the highest honors to become the advisor to the House of Alnarsar.

Huperly's expression was one of solemn commitment.

Although it is more likely a blank check, it represents Huberleyan's attitude —

She acknowledged Lancy as a friend, and he was also a friend of the Alanzar family.

and the Al-Ansari family, they will repay kindness with kindness!

"A duke's advisor If that were really to happen, it would be quite a prestigious title. My father would probably have a stroke if he knew I was doing so well in the capital…"

Ranch smiled at the words, unconcerned whether the promise would be kept. He simply marveled at his new friend,

"Huibalian, you may always appear cold and ruthless, but surprisingly, your heart is kind."

"What does that mean"

Huberly didn't understand why Lanche would say that.

Because you've always been thinking not about inheriting the family business, but about finding your father.

Lanchi smiled and explained.

"……"

After hearing Ranch's words, Huberly's eyes gradually drooped, as if she was slowly sinking into a sorrow that was difficult to escape. She couldn't say anything for a long time.

Until after a while.

"Dad, he'll be fine."

Hubert's expression still seemed unchanged, but his heart was obviously in a state of great complexity.

She risked her life to investigate and uncover some clues about her father's disappearance, but they only vaguely pointed towards the southern Kryll Empire.

She is too weak now.

They are outnumbered.

I still can't tell who are friends and who are foes or even undercover enemies in this city.

Going to the Kreys Empire alone is only a death sentence.

She must get stronger quickly, maybe her father still has a chance, she just needs to find him as soon as possible...

However, these things Huberley would never tell Lance.

She absolutely couldn't let Lanci get any more involved.

"Would you consider going to the Shadow Realm Let's form a team and give the Shadow Realm a little shock."

Lan Chi looked at Hyberlian, who fell silent. After a long pause, he cautiously asked.

Of all the people he knows now, Huberlian is undoubtedly the most cooperative teammate.

Not only does Huberly have combat experience, but he was also very reliable during previous engagements.

This is also the reason why they were able to cooperate and clear the super double version of [Infinite Phantom Valley] that day.

Hughbert's finger froze on the page, her eyes stared blankly at Lance, her mouth slightly open as if she wanted to say something, yet also like she was trying to breathe in fresh air.

"Aren't you, going to fight with me"

At last, she sorted out some of her thoughts and asked in a daze, but she was still trying to understand Ranchi's sudden news, this unrealistic invitation.

Of course.

Lanche's tone was definitely affirmative.

Huberley lowered her head, staring at the pages on the table, biting her lip, as if she was very conflicted.

Ranch was so friendly to her because he didn't yet know she was half-demon.

She didn't know how to open her mouth and confess to Lanchi.

Even if their friendship at this moment might only be a phantom bubble, ready to burst and vanish at any time, she still didn't know how to shatter it with her own hands.

You can change your mind at any time.

Hubberley spoke in a hushed, almost inaudible voice, her gaze fixed on the ground.

This is equivalent to accepting Lance's invitation to form a team.

But, she also accepted Lance's unilateral withdrawal at any time.

"I knew you'd say yes! How about we go challenge the Shadow Realm while the Arcane Academy is still open I can't take this class anymore. Who in the world added "Silent Spellcasting" to the required courses this year I can't even learn it!"

As soon as Ranch recalled this morning's lesson, his brain throbbed with pain, and he couldn't help but complain.

He hadn't expected the courses at the Academy of Sages to be so difficult, or perhaps his magical practical talent was just too poor.

Especially this "Casting Without Vocalization" class, it could really torment Lance. He didn't see it in the old syllabus at all, and yet this year, with the curriculum changes, it was added as a required course!

"Today"

Hubert blinked, murmuring,

She obviously hadn't expected Lance to be so reckless.

This is even more surreal than a trip that you just decide to take on a whim, making her heart pound wildly in her chest!

For a moment, she didn't know how to express herself or what to say in response.

Yes, right now.

Ranch stretched languidly, as if loosening his bones.

"Want to walk with me"

When he leaned back in his chair and looked at Huberlian again, a smile of absolute confidence spread across his face.
