Chapter 81 : The Confession During the Interview
Although Elucia was indeed very confident.
But when it came time to enter the interview phase, both Elucia and Lonis were stunned.
Because......
"You two, it's been a few days since we last met. I'm glad you could come here... However, I'm not here as the manager now, but as the chief examiner to interview you both."
Manager Luofu sat in the head seat, looking at the two calmly. Beside her sat Teacher Suzuki and Teacher Scott respectively.
"!"
Elucia's eyes widened. Her surprise was naturally from not expecting that the coffee shop manager was actually the dean of Clear Academy.
(So the observation of myself and Lonis perhaps didn't start yesterday, but from the moment we started working.)
As for Lonis's shock, it came from her memories of working at the café... She hadn't forgotten that she had been teased by Elucia to the point of near collapse.
And if Luofu was the dean, had she been watching all of this the whole time?
Including those little toys on her body?
Thinking of this, Lonis felt the shame of wanting to crawl into a crack in the ground... because she was still "equipped" with those little toys right now.
In her daze, Lonis had an illusion: the gazes of the three teachers seemed to penetrate through her clothes, staring directly at her chest and thighs. She felt like a naked girl with nowhere to hide under their scrutiny.
......
......
At this moment, Teacher Suzuki took the first strike.
"Students, we are now conducting the final interview... The results of this interview will determine whether you can enter the academy. So please answer honestly and don't play any tricks."
When saying "tricks," Teacher Suzuki seemed somewhat annoyed, as if she was still bitter about her scheme not succeeding.
However, at this time, Elucia had already adapted her mindset and said calmly: "Yes, we understand. No matter what the teachers ask, we will answer truthfully."
"Really? Student Elucia, if you lie during the interview, it will affect your written test scores."
Teacher Suzuki frowned suspiciously, looking at Elucia who had become so well-behaved, she seemed somewhat surprised.
"Yes, of course~ My maid and I are sincere in seeking education, so we will naturally answer truthfully."
"Good, then let's start with the first question."
Suzuki picked up the file and asked with feigned seriousness: "Both students applied for archaeology as their first choice and do not wish to be transferred. Why did you make this choice?"
"Because I'm very interested in archaeology."
"?"
"The process of unraveling threads, layer by layer investigation to find historical truth, fascinates me greatly. It's a joy full of unknowns—you never know what you'll discover."
Elucia answered without hesitation, but Teacher Suzuki shook her head and said straightforwardly: "No, you're lying."
"Oh?"
"Professional Test A, Question 2, Part 3. You chose C for 'famous star wrongly accused in the previous era,' but if you truly respected and loved history, you should have chosen B—Michael Jackson."
"......"
"You definitely knew the correct answer, because in the later essay questions, you referenced cases about him."
......
Watching the dialogue between Lonis and Teacher Suzuki, Lonis was shocked... Clear Academy was indeed the highest institution of learning, truly a place where dragons and tigers hid, and even the proctoring teachers were not to be underestimated.
Perhaps because Elucia's test paper was too outstanding, it left an impression on the teacher. But being able to accurately remember specific questions also proved that Teacher Suzuki's memory was far beyond ordinary people.
However, Elucia's reaction was also not to be underestimated.
"Oh, is that so? Then it was probably because I was too nervous at that time."
"!"
"Because I couldn't remember the correct answer to that question either. So rather than betting everything on being completely right or completely wrong, it's better to get half right and half wrong... After all, history is like our lives, simultaneously practicing both correctness and error."
"Ha, haha... Correctness and error?"
Teacher Suzuki suddenly laughed: "Student Elucia, I know you're not telling the truth... but I'm very satisfied with this answer. So consider yourself passed. Teacher Scott, do you have anything you'd like to ask?"
"Hmm..."
This teacher named Scott had a very sturdy build and looked like a strongman:
"Student Lonis, I have something I'd like to ask you."
"Me?"
"Yes, I've looked at your test paper. Although your magic fundamentals are a complete mess, your professional course scores are excellent. Why is that?"
"Uh?"
Being asked this kind of question, Lonis felt somewhat guilty.
She instinctively looked toward Elucia, wanting to ask her for advice, but the black-haired girl didn't respond, as if telling Lonis to say whatever she wanted.
So......
"I... I haven't received systematic education, but like my master, I'm very interested in archaeology."
"I see... I don't think you're lying."
Teacher Scott scrutinized Lonis's body closely, but those eyes contained no trace of lust: "Then after completing your studies at Clear Academy, what do you want to do?"
"What do I want to...?"
"Yes, you've already enrolled, and if you can graduate successfully, you'll be an outstanding talent too. Of course, you wouldn't need to do ordinary work like being a maid anymore."
"!"
Lonis's heart jumped. The questions these two teachers posed were really too tricky... they always hit the things Lonis least wanted to answer.
What kind of relationship did she and Elucia have?
Although Elucia always treated her as a slave to order around and bully, Lonis knew their relationship wasn't that simple.
After all, before that, she and Elucia were first companions. A kind of indescribable symbiotic relationship.
So Lonis took a deep breath and answered truthfully:
"Even if I graduate, I should still... stay by Master Elucia's side."
"Why? Aren't other jobs good?"
"Well, if I had to say why, it's because... we can't be separated anymore."
"What?!"
Hearing Lonis say this, both teachers and Elucia were instantly stunned.
And Lonis also sighed and continued:
"Because of certain things, Master Elucia can't leave me. And I can't leave Elucia either. So I think even if we graduate, we'll probably do the same thing. We won't take different paths just because we've achieved academic success."
"Lonis, you..."
If Lonis could turn to look at Elucia beside her at this moment, she would definitely discover a very interesting expression.
A hint of "crimson" appeared on the black-haired girl's cheeks—as if she wanted to say something, but couldn't express it because the teachers were present.
"E-Elucia?"
"Hmph, never mind about you! Teacher, my relationship with Lonis should be a private matter and unrelated to the school, right?"
"Yes, that's natural, but I also need to confirm your relationship for future dormitory assignments."
"Eh?"
Both Elucia and Lonis were stunned. Since Teacher Scott said this, it meant...
"Yes, whether it's me, Teacher Suzuki, or Dean Luofu, we all consider this interview's results to be passing. Congratulations, both of you—from now on, you are members of Clear Magic Academy!"
