Chapter 89 : The Beautiful Statue
"Wahhh! Elucia, save me!!!"
At this moment, Lonis was so scared she completely forgot her previous ambitions and hid directly behind Elucia.
(Why would there be a butcher in the school! What kind of magic academy is this!!!!!)
The silver-haired girl trembled with fear, but Elucia seemed prepared, coldly snorting: "I already told you, going to school isn't a simple matter."
"Uh?"
"I think you're better suited to be a big body pillow!"
Although Elucia's words were directed at Lonis, her right leg kicked toward the chainsaw butcher.
Boom!
Although Elucia's leather shoes were delicate and small, the moment they touched the butcher's chest, they exploded with incomparable power like a medium-range missile... The black-haired girl didn't move an inch, but the chainsaw butcher was kicked straight away!
Crackle, crackle~
The butcher flew backward and crashed into the wall behind him, and violent electric sparks ignited from his wounds—it turned out this guy wasn't human, but a robot made of metal!
(A robot?!)
Just as Lonis was confused, a girl's voice came from the darkness of the corridor.
"Sorry, the ancient weapon suddenly went out of control. Are you two okay?!"
The girl who ran over wore a white lab coat, had braided hair, and wore black-framed glasses, looking like some kind of scholar.
However, she was about the same height as Lonis, and since she wasn't wearing high heels, she gave off a very petite feeling.
......
"Of course we're fine. If something happened, could we still answer you?"
"Ah... s-sorry!"
Seeing Elucia, the girl first apologized frantically, then said with a beaming smile: "Students, welcome to Ancient Academy. Are you here to post a commission?"
"Commission...?"
"Yes, we can handle both identification and containment of ancient artifacts! Ah, right! If you want to buy some antiques to decorate your homes, we fully provide that service too! Since it's near 618, everything is 30% off..."
The girl was selling enthusiastically,
But Lonis seemed to have discovered something and just sighed softly:
"Sigh, has it declined to this extent?"
"Eh?"
"Sorry to disappoint you, but my maid Lonis and I aren't students posting commissions. We're new students wanting to join Ancient Academy."
"How could that be... new students? And two at once?!"
The girl's eyes widened in shock, almost falling on her bottom.
"Are new students... very strange?"
"Not just strange, but also... ah, sorry, you two are new students after all. It might not be good for me to say this..." The girl sighed and introduced herself: "I'm called Yan. You can call me Little Yan or Senior Yan."
"Senior Yan, hello. I'm Lonis, and this is the young lady I serve, named Elucia."
"As you can see, this is my stupid maid."
"Maid... oh, no wonder you two enrolled together!"
......
Seeing how familiar Lonis and Elucia's relationship was, Senior Yan seemed to breathe a sigh of relief.
"Um, that... Senior Yan, did we come to the wrong place? This is an old school building, right?"
"Old school building... no! You misunderstood, this is Ancient Academy."
"Eh?!"
Lonis was about to ask why "Ancient Academy" looked so run-down, but on second thought, saying that seemed a bit disrespectful.
Moreover, this was also the place where she would be studying in the future.
However, seeing Lonis's hesitant expression, Yan knew what she wanted to ask and sighed as she explained:
"Student Lonis, I'm very sorry. Ancient Academy was originally the most unpopular academy, with only a dozen students in total, and last month, the Vice Dean took most of the students out on an expedition."
"Eh?"
"So now there are only 5 students in the academy... ah, with you two, that makes 7 people."
"7 people..."
Although Senior Yan seemed somewhat proud when she mentioned seven people, even the part-time maids at the maid café outnumbered the students here.
"Yes, since you two are new students, I'll take you to see the dean right away... ah, please don't worry, the dean is a very nice person and easy to communicate with."
......
"By the way, Senior Yan, about that butcher just now..."
"Oh, the ancient weapon going out of control is a low-probability event. Generally speaking, it only happens once a week."
"Hmm... (Once a week is low probability?)"
......
Led by Senior Yan, the two walked together toward the depths of the academy.
Without lights on, every time they advanced a distance in the corridor, Senior Yan would personally light the candles... The flickering flames illuminated the three people's faces, casting long shadows on the old corridor.
Although it looked somewhat shabby along the way, when they reached the interior, Lonis discovered that the academy's interior decoration was quite classy, with beautifully designed small decorations everywhere, and the floor was very clean without any dust.
Finally, Senior Yan led the two into the academy's courtyard: here, warm sunlight filtered through the translucent skylight glass, dimly shining on Lonis.
Whether it was because no one maintained it, or it was designed this way originally.
Many lush and verdant shrubs grew in the courtyard, and the smell that greeted them wasn't stale, but a fragrance of earth mixed with the scent of herbs.
"Wow..."
This scene was not only not desolate, but had an elegance as if time had frozen.
Lonis was somewhat dazed, not to mention there was an extremely exquisite female statue in the center of the courtyard... She was carved so lifelike that whether it was those gentle eyelashes or the slightly upturned corners of her mouth, they all revealed an indescribable tranquility and beauty.
Creeping moss spread from her feet, gradually covering up to her thighs, as if dressing her in dark green stockings.
The girl's dress looked very flowing, and combined with that graceful body curve, it was impossible to look away once you saw it.
"Senior Yan, are we handling enrollment procedures here with the dean?"
"Yes, that's right..."
Although she nodded, Senior Yan seemed somewhat hesitant.
She took a deep breath and said to Lonis and Elucia: "New students, no matter what happens next, please don't be afraid... because this is a very normal phenomenon at Ancient Academy."
"Normal...?"
"Yes, Dean Cuibia, please wake up. We have two new students this year, and with the Vice Dean away, no one can handle their enrollment procedures."
Senior Yan spoke very respectfully to that elegant and exquisite statue.
