Chapter 137 : Clear Temple
The day to enter Clear Temple finally arrived.
The sun was bright and a gentle breeze blew. On such a clear day, it seemed very suitable for doing formal things.
However, Lonis could only sit in a wheelchair, wearing a gorgeous Lolita dress, being pushed by Elucia.
To enter Clear Temple, they first needed to undergo inspection and registration in the transfer area, but neither of them expected that the inspector would be Teacher Suzuki.
"Oh~ If I remember correctly, you're Student Elucia, right?"
Suzuki Mizuho looked down condescendingly, examining Elucia's face.
It seemed that in this teacher's view, Elucia must have some ulterior motive:
"Student Elucia, Clear Temple is not like the interview for entrance exams. If you play any tricks and do things beyond regulations, don't blame me for being impolite."
"Hehe, Teacher Suzuki is joking. I'm a model student. How could I have ulterior motives?"
"Hmph, about what happened on Ruins Island last time, you definitely did something. If it weren't for King Prince Ruowei Palace saying you had no malicious intent, I would definitely find a way to uncover your secrets!"
After glaring at Elucia, Teacher Suzuki looked at Lonis and said: "And you, your illness is too convenient, isn't it?"
"Eh..."
"If I hadn't personally examined your medical records, I would definitely think you were faking illness. How could there be such a coincidence that you apply to visit Clear Temple during such a sensitive time?"
"Wuu..."
In front of Teacher Suzuki, Lonis couldn't say a word and could only make the sound "wuu."
"Anyway, I'll be watching you two closely. Don't even think about violating school rules."
......
......
Just like that, the girls entered Ruins Island.
It was still the familiar dense forest, still the scattered buildings dotting it. Only this time they came during the day instead of dusk and evening.
Bright sunlight illuminated the sky, and looking around, Lonis finally discovered... the buildings on Ruins Island were so strange!
They had golden pyramids, walls like the Great Wall, Statue of Liberty sculptures, and the glass pyramid of the Louvre.
However, each building was very small, as if miniaturized.
And Clear Temple... was it at that place that looked like the Parthenon?
Lonis thought Teacher Suzuki would walk in that direction.
But this teacher only brought them to a stone tablet, then took out her teacher's ID.
"Faculty ID: Suzuki Mizuho, Purpose: Visit Application No. 371."
When the teacher's ID was shown to it, the ground in front of the stone tablet actually sprang open!
What came into view was a path leading downward, along with barrier-free steps for wheelchair access.
"Elucia, can you pull the wheelchair?"
"Mm, no problem."
"Good, then I won't call for help. Follow behind me."
......
This passage was very deep, with no end in sight.
Although the floor was very clean without any dust, Lonis inexplicably felt that this place had many years of history.
The interior decoration was somewhat similar to the corridor of Flame Abyss Temple, but also somewhat different.
But Lonis couldn't remember exactly where the difference was... After all, when she went to Flame Abyss Temple, she had Elucia on her back.
At that time, Elucia still had the appearance of a little loli, weak and extremely cute, not vicious like now.
"Lonis?"
"Eh?"
"I feel like you're thinking about something very rude."
Elucia frowned, seeming very dissatisfied with Lonis.
"Ah, sorry."
"Hmph, don't think randomly, wait calmly for entry!"
......
......
After walking through the dark, narrow underground tunnel for about half an hour.
The girls finally arrived in front of a huge red-orange door.
Like Flame Abyss Temple, this door was also very tall with patterns carved on it that Lonis couldn't understand.
The only difference was that in front of the orange door stood 4 sturdy armored guards—each one looked alert and very formidable.
"Please show your identification."
"Here, these two students signed the aid agreement and are preparing to treat their illness."
Teacher Mizuho didn't make things difficult for them and simply handed over the documents.
Seeing the complete procedures, the armored guards also nodded and said to them:
"You have 20 minutes of visiting time. After entering Clear Temple, please maintain 1 meter distance from the Orange Abyss and do not get too close. Clear's power will help you repair damage."
"Mm mm!"
"Please prepare, we're going to open the door."
......
......
The four armored guards, like the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse, orderly placed their palms on the door.
And something magical happened.
Accompanied by a wonderful magical fluctuation, the orange-yellow door was pushed open.
But what came into view was not a temple at all, but a vast sky!
White clouds drifted freely in the distance, and birds could be seen soaring through the sea of clouds from time to time.
(How can Clear Temple be like this?)
Lonis took a deep breath in confusion.
But Elucia acted as if ignoring the sky behind the door, just pushing the wheelchair forward like that.
Seeing they were about to fall down, this scared Lonis into screaming wildly:
"Elucia, what are you doing? Stop quickly!"
"Sigh..."
This black-haired girl didn't answer, just looked at Lonis with the attitude of looking at an idiot, then forcefully pushed the wheelchair!
"Wah aah!"
Accompanied by Lonis's shouts, both the silver-haired girl and black-haired girl came above the sky.
"Eh, didn't fall down?"
"How could you fall down in a temple?"
"!"
Lonis stared in amazement with wide eyes, finally realizing that the walls and ceiling of Clear Temple were all composed of very advanced screens!
The floor beneath was completely transparent, with projection screens below.
The entire space was a sphere, so no matter where you looked, you couldn't detect any visual deviation... Walking through it was like walking through a sea of clouds, making Lonis exclaim in wonder:
"This is... too amazing."
"After all, it's the temple that Clear Academy is proud of, so naturally it's amazing."
Perhaps because she couldn't grill beef, Elucia didn't seem very surprised. She just pushed Lonis forward to the center of the space.
And with a wave of fluctuation, a huge orange sphere also came into their view.
Or rather, it had been there all along, but the brilliance on the sphere's surface almost blended completely with the surrounding sea of clouds.
Now that Lonis came closer, she discovered it was like Flame Abyss Temple, resembling a miniature planet.
Warm light shone on her body, making Lonis feel very comfortable.
"So comfortable..."
"Sit here for a while first, waiting for your body to recover."
"Eh?"
"Close your eyes and listen. Later, we'll adjust the wheelchair a bit."
Elucia made a gesture. It looked like she was ready to cause trouble.
