Chapter 82 : New Student Shopping
After Lonis and Elucia left, Luofu picked up the stamp and marked the approval seal on both their files.
"What do you two teachers think?"
"Reporting to Dean Luofu, although we still haven't figured out their purpose for enrolling, they shouldn't have any malicious intent toward the school."
Suzuki Mizuho twirled the pen in her hand and wrote a passage in her notes: "Perhaps something in our school has attracted their interest."
"What do you think it is?"
"I don't know about that. After all, there are so many rewards in the school. These two chose archaeology, so it should be related to some relic items."
"I actually think their purpose is also to study."
Teacher Scott sighed and added from the side: "That young lady named Elucia may not need much knowledge. But that maid named Lonis really needs the academy's systematic explanations."
"Both teachers' deductions are the same as mine. So, do you think there's a chance to have these two students work for our school?"
"Dean?"
"Dean, you mean..."
"Recently, the Trickster Demon Lord's actions have been somewhat beyond our expectations. Although we can't determine if this is the beginning of a new Great Howling, we need more personnel to investigate information about those ruins."
Luofu's words were very calm, without much emotion contained within them, but they carried a quiet strength.
"But Dean Luofu, they're just freshmen. If we give them this kind of work, wouldn't it be somewhat..."
"Of course not now, and I've carefully observed that freshman named Lonis. I believe her character is fine—she's very dedicated."
"Dean, we understand. We'll instruct the student council about related matters."
"Thank you, Teacher Scott, Teacher Suzuki."

(Great, we're accepted!!!!!!)
The moment she walked out of the gymnasium, Lonis felt like jumping to the sky!
For this exam, she had worked at the maid shop, bought books, been bullied by Elucia with little toys, and been toyed with by tentacle monsters in the virtual world—it was truly miserable!
She had given her all, and if she had failed, Lonis really didn't know what attitude she would use to face Elucia and Zhou Suling.
But now, she had succeeded~~
She was also a member of Clear Dream Academy~~~
So much so that even Lonis didn't notice that her steps were bouncing, like a wild roe deer lurking in the forest, appearing extraordinarily cute.
However, compared to Lonis, Elucia wasn't so happy. She frowned, seeming to ponder the teachers' several questions...
"Did we arouse suspicion? No, the first step was still smooth, so next, we should earn enough credits and academic points. Hmm... that's right!"
As if suddenly remembering something, Elucia frowned and grabbed toward Lonis's body... but whether this girl did it intentionally or not, her palm grabbed Lonis's chest.
"Uh?!"
This grab scared Lonis badly... She stared blankly at the black-haired young lady, not understanding what she wanted to do.
Could it be that Elucia, this sadist, wanted to push her down in broad daylight?
Lonis was too scared to move, while Elucia coughed and said very seriously: "Cough cough, you maid, you don't think I'd be happy just because you said that, do you?"
"Eh?"
"Flattery, expressing loyalty... these are your basic qualities as a maid, nothing worth praising at all! But considering future studies, I'll take you to buy some study supplies as a reward."
Just like that, Lonis was taken by Elucia to the school store.
This place was full of all kinds of goods... Of course, this was also Lonis's first time coming to a store in civilized society, so she was curious about all the various products.
"Elucia, what's that..."
"Oh? (Hand reaching toward the remote control in her pocket.)"
"M-Master! (Face blushing) What's that black thing?"
"Hmm, that? That's a detector. It's used to detect magic elements floating in the air."
"Oh..."
"Don't touch things randomly if you're not buying them. Really, are you a child?"
Although Elucia had some complaints about Lonis's "silly" expression, Lonis couldn't care about that much. She just observed her surroundings as much as possible, collecting information about this world.
Pencils, erasers, notebooks, rulers, modeling clay... these tools from her past life's memories were all available in the store.
It seemed there were factories in this world too, since the markings on the pencils were so neat—they must have been machine-processed.
However, Lonis didn't see any electrical appliances. For example, electric razors, alarm clocks, light bulbs, power banks—she didn't see any of these things.
Not only that, but if calculated using food prices, these industrial products were frighteningly expensive.
For example, an apple only cost 0.5 silver coins.
But a small eraser cost 2 silver coins.
Fountain pens were even more expensive—Lonis could see cheap fountain pens selling for 5 silver coins, as well as fountain pens selling for 500 silver coins. Keep in mind, Lonis could only earn 30 silver coins working hard for a whole night.
"Master Elucia, that..."
"Hmph, you want to ask why these things are so expensive, right?"
"Y-yes!"
"That's because Clear Academy itself doesn't mass-produce these things, and if you want to transport them here, you need magic ships."
"Oh..."
Only then did Lonis remember that the entire magic academy was floating in the sky. And this world wasn't very peaceful either—even transport teams might encounter magic beasts.
So prices became very high.
"In any case, use the stationery carefully. If I find out you're careless and lose things, the financial loss will be deducted from your wages."
"Eh?"
"What 'eh'? Did you hear me or not?"
"I-I heard you!"
Looking at those newly bought stationery items, Lonis swallowed.
Actually, when she was a hero, Lonis's various habits were very sloppy... She rarely cleaned her room, and many things she put down and then forgot where she threw them.
At that time, it could be considered that great achievers don't focus on small details, but now if she lost anything, she would have to accept punishment with her body.
"Young lady master, we've finished buying things. What should we do next..."
"Hmm, next, of course we need to prepare some backup equipment to prevent accidents~"
"Backup equipment?"
"You don't think becoming a 'maid' is a simple matter, do you?"
Elucia smiled slightly, taking Lonis's wrist and walking toward the underwear section.
