ed his chin thoughtfully, as if deep in contemplation.Huberley was silent for a moment.She doesn't know if Lanchi is truly clueless or pretending to be."That bunch also likes to save face. If we just...Chapter 43: Ranchi's Immediate Departure

The sounds of conversation, the turning of pages, and the gentle scraping of chairs and tables mingled together to create a subtle harmony.

Although slightly noisy, the sound is comforting because it reflects the real breath of life.

In the back of this classroom.

Hubert remained silent.

Contradictory emotions began to intertwine in Huberly's heart.

Her gaze drifted between the desks in the classroom and the exit, her fingers lightly tracing the pages of her book, her heart a pendulum swinging back and forth.

"Lance, generally speaking, you need to do all sorts of preparations before challenging the Shadow World."

At last, Huberlyan calmed her own heart, and spoke in a soft voice like a gentle stream.

Of course, it's also important to consider whether teammates are a good fit.

And practice more, making sure your teammates are trustworthy...

In short, leaving right now feels too sudden and impulsive...

"Let's go in a few days, okay Think about it carefully."

Huperly's voice grew weaker and weaker.

Maybe by tomorrow, Ranch will find out about her demon identity from Moldan or someone else.

From now on, see the real her.

Then.

He can keep his promise and make a better decision.

This might be a better outcome for Lance.

Lance watched Huberlianne hesitate, even starting to back down, as if he understood her inner thoughts.

Her answer, in fact, was —

She needs a teammate who is more resolute than her to help her make decisions.

"A Hubertian, sometimes appearing only to be long-term planning, will actually procrastinate indefinitely until they ultimately abandon it."

Ranch grinned, his plan to skip class now legal, he felt completely rejuvenated. Even his voice was full of energy.

If we don't set sail now, we'll never be able to embark! So trust me, let's go.

Ranch's voice was clear and he stood up, looking at Huberlian.

It seems like she can't wait to embark on a magical journey with him.

This moment.

The sky was gradually turning into a pale pink under the setting sun's rays, as if it were the color of dawn.

The floor-to-ceiling glass windows of the classroom were as still as the sea, reflecting their figures.

Lanche's words, like a small boat, carved waves on the stormy sea of her heart, echoing continuously.

Hyberlian gazed at Lanci's clear and earnest emerald eyes, her own now betraying an undeniable, raw excitement.

It seems that he has finally made up his mind.

Let's go.

With a crisp and resolute voice, Huberlian also rose to her feet, and strode toward the classroom exit with Lance.

……

Because of the departure of the two, the classroom that had only been somewhat noisy suddenly became silent after a stone was thrown in, causing ripples to spread out one by one.

All eyes were on the two students who had resolutely run away just before class was about to begin, until they disappeared completely from their sight.

A sense of wonder and curiosity, accompanied by a cacophony of noise, once again surged like a tidal wave!

The entire classroom was buzzing with excitement!

Where did they go

"Skipping class to go on a date"

Some students gossiped with rapt attention, while others gathered together, excitedly discussing things with gleeful expressions.

Even some students who were quietly reading put down their books and joined the lively discussion.

I just heard that the two of them want to go to the world of shadows...

Until some students still stared in disbelief, recalling it.

Let the surroundings become much quieter.

...attracted a lot of attention.

"No way Going to the Shadow World on the first day of school You must have heard wrong. They're definitely just making excuses to go on a date."

"It's absolutely true, they made an agreement to go fight in the Shadow World."

Just the two of them

Just the two of them.

"Huh "

In an instant, the atmosphere in the classroom became tense.

All eyes were on the few students who seemed to be certain they understood the conversation between Lynch and Huberly.

Immediately following the chaotic commotion, the entire classroom was filled with a cacophony of noise.

In the history of Icterite Academy, it's almost unheard of for two freshmen to team up and venture into the Real Shadow World on the very first day of school!

You know, the vast majority of first-year students don't even have a driver's license yet.

Even super rookies who get the Iron Challenger's license right at enrollment often make their debut alongside upperclassmen.

Because this is not a race or some kind of achievement, but a life-or-death challenge that stakes your very soul!

"If, and I'm saying if, they actually passed the third round exam through sheer skill and teamwork, without any of that rumored luck involved, then would their partnership be able to truly handle a real second-tier Shadow World with no experience"

It's hard to say, the second-tier shadow world can also be very dangerous, and the third-tier might have safer areas. It all depends on luck.

Some shadow worlds correspond to timelines and historical situations that are inherently dangerous. When encountering such shadow worlds, even challengers with higher ranks than the shadow world's rank often face widespread casualties.

Amidst a flurry of student chatter, Vice-Dean Ronan entered the classroom carrying a weighty ancient tome.

The last session of today, "Magical Detection and Shielding," was taught by him, who is also the vice-principal.

Vice Dean Luo placed the books on the lecture table and then began to look around the classroom.

He felt that the atmosphere in the classroom was too lively.

These freshmen are like they've just celebrated a holiday, still buzzing and discussing something excitedly even now.

Soon, the new students in the classroom gradually quieted down and turned their attention to the Vice President.

But at this very moment, Deputy Dean Luo couldn't help but furrow his brows in confusion.

Why do these students have a feeling of wanting to say something but holding back when they look at him

They seem to want to tell themselves something very important, but they hesitate whether or not it's appropriate to say it.

What's going on

Deputy Dean Ron looked at the students sitting in the front row and asked.

"Two people went to beat up the Shadow World."

The student glared at by Ron stammered.

Ron glanced back, knowing without needing to ask who the two students were.

Because both Ranch and Huberlian, whom he was interested in, were nowhere to be seen in this classroom.

Immediately, Ron frowned, his expression becoming quite complicated.

Although all the students didn't know about the cooperation and performance of those two in the third round assessment, he knew.

If other students had gone to the real Wizarding World on the first day back, Ron would probably be frantic by now and might even need an emergency meeting.

But if it were Lynch and Hubertian, the nature of the problem would change somewhat…
