Chapter 39: School Shuttle
Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Luke was sitting on a bench by the roadside of Ceremony Avenue in the central urban area.
A street lamp beside him illuminated the area very brightly.
Behind the bench was a small park. There were some traces of camping on the mowed lawn. Across the road was an opera house. There were posters outside the opera house and singing came from inside.
The faint singing made the city even quieter.
After a while, a group of boys and girls wearing Oulu Academy uniforms walked over. They stopped near the bench and waited for the school bus to arrive.
At the same time, they also saw the elf sitting on the bench.
Elves were not uncommon in Wild Waves City where the routes were connected to the world. There were many elven professors and scholars at Oulu Academy.
However, they had never seen an elf with such an otherworldly appearance.
A boy who looked to be about sixteen or seventeen years old walked over.
He had a school bag slung across his shoulder. He asked Luke in a tone that he thought was very handsome, "Hello, elf... My name is Heidisiko. Are you also waiting for the bus to Oulu Academy?"
"Yes," Luke replied. "I'm going to Oulu Academy. Are you all students of the academy?"
The strange elf's response made the boy even more confident. He turned around and looked at his companions proudly before saying to Luke, "Yes, we are all students of the Oulu Academy. The weekend passed by so quickly. Thinking about how I was about to face Professor Finnick, I had a headache. The magic spell analysis he taught was really too difficult.
"Miss Elf, you're not wearing the uniform of Oulu Academy. Are you a teacher of the academy?"
As Heidisiko chatted with the elf, the other students also gathered around.
Some people were guessing about the elf's teaching position in the academy.
"Miss Elf, I can see that there are two scimitars behind your waist. I heard that the Wind Dancer of the Elves is a warrior who uses two blades. Are you a combat technique instructor in the academy?"
"No, these two scimitars are so exquisite. They must be ornaments. And how could such a beautiful elf lady be a rough warrior? You're probably an elf druid who masters the power of nature."
"Elf druids all have animal tattoos on their faces. I think you're a mage. Only noble mages can match your beautiful appearance."
...
A group of Oulu Academy students surrounded Luke and started talking. There was even a little girl who reached out to touch her pointy ears.
Luke jumped up and landed lightly outside the crowd.
"Touching an elf's ear without permission is very rude. I'm sure your etiquette teacher taught you this.
"As for my profession...
"I am an elven warrior, an elven druid, an elven mage, and an elven archer. At Oulu Academy... I am a new professor of magic."
Luke made up an identity for himself.
In order to prove the credibility of her identity, she opened her right hand and an ice lotus flower bloomed in her palm.
The casual release of ice magic caused the students to exclaim in surprise.
Heidisiko, who felt that his presence had been reduced, shouted to the students, "Students, pay attention to your etiquette! This is our magic professor... Professor, may we know your name?"
"My name is Clear Sky, like the clear sky."
The students bowed to Luke and shouted together, "Hello, Professor Clear Sky!"
"Professor Clear Sky, which subject do you teach? Can we attend your class?" Heidisiko asked.
"I teach..." Luke thought for a moment and replied. "I have to listen to the academy's arrangements. After my schedule is confirmed, you are welcome to attend my class."
"That's great!"
Even if he didn't want to listen, he would still be willing to attend a class taught by a beautiful elf.
At this moment, a bus stopped by the roadside. The car door opened, and a thin man wearing an old-fashioned magic robe with a very serious expression stepped out.
"Students of Oulu Magic Academy, wear your school badge. It is your honor."
The students quickly checked the school badge on their clothes. Those who were not wearing it immediately found it and put it on.
Then, they lined up and got on the bus one by one.
When it was Luke's turn, the man asked, "Beautiful Miss Elf, this is the bus to Oulu Academy. Students and faculty members do not need to pay the fare. If you are a visitor, you need to pay 10 imperial marks."
Heidisiko, who had already gotten onto the bus, shouted, "Mr. Maher, this is our magic professor, Miss Clear Sky."
The other students also said that this was their magic professor.
Luke took out ten imperial marks and handed them to Maher. "I'm here to go through the official employment procedures."
With so many students saying that the elf was a magic professor at the academy, Maher did not suspect anything. He did not accept Luke's money.
"I'm sorry, Miss Clear Sky. Please get on the bus. Welcome to Oulu Academy. If you are single, I believe that all the single male teachers in the academy will welcome you even more."
Maher, who seemed to be serious, also showed a rare smile to the beautiful Clear Sky.
Beautiful things always made people let down their guard.
Moreover, Oulu Academy was not a forbidden area. Opening and tolerance had always been the mission of Oulu Academy.
Ten marks was a symbolic charge.
"Thank you, Wizard Maher." Luke got into the bus.
Heidisiko took the initiative to invite Luke to sit beside him, but Luke chose to sit with a female student who looked quite pleasing to the eye.
Maher closed the door and knocked on a bell beside the door.
The school bus started without a driver and disappeared on the road after driving for a while.
At this moment, a group of imperial secret agents ran over, panting. They could only watch as the bus from Oulu Academy left the main space.
"Damn it!" Bonard, who didn't stop the car, cursed angrily. Then he asked his subordinates, "Did you see Clear Sky get on the bus?"
"Captain, we saw her. She got on the bus with the students from Oulu Academy.
"This is troublesome!"
"It's not just troublesome! A powerful assassin who had killed so many people in the Cape District and was carrying the Heart of Red Dragon Nilcro would definitely cause a disaster if she went to Oulu Academy!
"Quickly inform the inspector and alert the city government office.
"Find the Oulu Academy's liaison office and ask them to open a path to the academy for us.
"Quick, quick, quick!"
"Yes, Captain!"
The secret agent who received the order quickly left.
The remaining secret agents looked in the direction where the bus disappeared and asked Bonard worriedly, "Captain, what should we do against that elf?"
Bonard placed his hand on the handle of his sword.
"Many of the students in Oulu Academy come from noble families... This time, we have to do our best.
"When you encounter Clear Sky, don't give her any time to cast the large-scale ice magic.
"Only by rushing and killing would we have a chance to leave Oulu Academy alive."
"Yes, Captain!"
Chapter 40: Library
Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Luke was on the bus to Oulu Academy.
When she got on the bus, she saw the imperial secret agents chasing after her. The timing was just right.
Clear Sky's appearance this time was enough to shock the entire Wild Waves City. No matter what the government office did to the Cape District, they had to retreat to support Oulu Academy.
Outside the window, due to the change in space, the city buildings flew backward in a distorted manner.
When it reached a certain critical point, the darkness of the night was instantly replaced by day, and the academy bus traveled on a field filled with birds and flowers.
At the end of the road, there was an ancient castle in the style of Hogwarts.
That was Oulu Academy.
Oulu Academy had more than a thousand years of history. In the early days, it was located in Wild Waves City and was called Oulu Magic Academy. Later on, Oulu's mages discovered a stable subspace in Wild Waves City, so they moved the academy to this subspace.
Wild Waves City was an open port city, and the style of the city also influenced the style of Oulu Magic Academy.
Oulu Magic Academy was the first magic academy in the Golden Shield Empire to set up a discipline other than magic. It had even changed its name to "Oulu Academy."
In the fields of magic, alchemy, steam, machinery, extraordinary research, and many other fields, Oulu Academy was at the world's leading level. Outstanding and inclusive, Oulu Academy attracted famous scholars from all over the world, as well as the best students of the empire.
As the school bus was traveling on the road, other buses to pick up students appeared on the road one after another.
The day and night in the subspace were the opposite of the main space. Today was the first day of the new week, so Luke met the students who had returned to school after the weekend at home.
The school bus stopped at the square outside the school gate. Soon, the square was filled with students wearing the same uniform.
After getting off the bus, Heidisiko stopped the girl sitting with Luke. "Lydia, isn't Professor Clear Sky sitting with you? Where is she?"
Lydia looked around curiously. "Professor Clear Sky? The professor clearly got off the bus with me just now. How did she disappear in the blink of an eye?"
The companions who came with them jumped around in the crowd and looked around, but they couldn't find the elf professor who came with them.
"Stop looking for her. Since Professor Clear Sky is here to handle the recruitment procedures, we will definitely be able to see her again in the academy."
"Alright then..." Heidisiko was a little disappointed.
At this moment, Luke was already walking on the main road of Oulu Academy.
If not for the fact that he wanted to attract the attention of the imperial secret agents, Luke had many ways to enter the subspace where Oulu Academy was located. After all, this was a place where players collected recipes and learned skills. There were also many interesting academy storylines.
As an ancient institution, there were also many mysterious tools here.
Along the way, Luke greeted the students and staff very naturally, acting like an easy-going externally hired elven professor. Then, he walked into the academy library.
The library of Oulu Academy was a four-story building. It was built in the style of a fortress from hundreds of years ago. It was one of the oldest existing teaching buildings in the academy. There were many secrets hidden inside, and it was also the place with the most supernatural events.
As it was Monday morning, there were very few people in the library.
Luke walked down the spiral staircase to the basement and found Library 36.
A dim light bulb lit up the room, which was more than ten square meters. The bookshelves on all sides were filled with books. However, these books were all covered in dust. Clearly, the librarian did not pay much attention to cleaning this place.
Luke pulled out a book from the bookshelf and patted the dust off it.
The Relationship Between Curses and Secret Technique.
Author: Lowell Felix
Upon opening the title page, there were two sentences.
Curses were a branch of secret technique?
Secret techniques were a branch of curses?
These were two very interesting questions!
In the early days, after Oulu Academy tasted the sweetness of establishing other disciplines, there was a period of time when they were open to any academic. All kinds of ideas exploded like a group of wild horses.
Secret techniques were the oldest of all disciplines, and it was highly valued by Oulu Academy at that time. The conceited mages tried to find the most basic rules of secret techniques, build an academic tree that could be recognized and used, and end its experiential characteristics.
If it could be done, secret techniques would definitely become a great discipline comparable to magic and alchemy.
However, the Oulu mages who were advancing triumphantly in all academic fields were having a hard time in the field of secret techniques.
In particular, a few secret techniques disasters and a group of Oulu wizards who had gone berserk due to their obsession with secret techniques had almost caused Oulu Academy to be destroyed.
Therefore, after the disaster, Oulu Academy removed secret techniques from the academy's discipline and placed heavy restrictions on secret techniques research.
A large number of books and materials related to secret techniques were destroyed. What was left behind were books on the history and analysis of secret techniques. None of them were related to the practice.
These books were all gathered in this small Library 36, becoming the afterglow of the secret technique's former glory.
Luke was reading The Relationship Between Curses and Secret Technique in his hand, completely forgetting the time.
Outside Oulu Academy, a large number of cars carrying imperial secret agents and sheriffs arrived.
However, they were all blocked by Oulu's mages outside the academy's gates.
"I am Councilman Kipling Virgil." Surrounded by the secret agents and sheriffs, Councilman Vergil walked to the front and said to Wizard Oulu, who was blocking the way, "We received accurate information that a very dangerous person has entered Oulu Academy.
"For the safety of the children, please let us in and search."
"Hello, Councilman!" Wizard Oulu, who was blocking the entrance of the academy, first bowed to Vergil, then said arrogantly, "Oulu Academy has a complete defensive force. If any dangerous people enter the academy, we will deal with them ourselves.
"To the students of the academy, this might be a good opportunity for actual combat."
Vergil replied sternly, "You have no idea how dangerous the dangerous person I'm talking about is. She had killed more than a hundred people in the Cape District, and it was very likely that she has the Heart of Red Dragon Nilcro. She had also bought all the summoning materials last night.
"Now, she has entered your academy!
"If you don't want the students of the academy to fight a fiery red dragon, let us in!"
Hearing that a red dragon might be summoned from the academy, Wizard Oulu, who was blocking the way, finally lost his confidence in the academy's strength.
However, he still did not let the people in immediately.
"Please wait a moment, Councilman Vergil. I'll report this matter to our dean immediately."
"Hurry up and go!"
Councilman Vergil urged Wizard Oulu, then called Bonard to his side. "Oulu Academy has a very special status. Let me ask you again, did that female elf named Clear Sky really enter Oulu Academy?"
"Yes, my men and I saw her get on the Oulu Academy bus," Bonard replied. The license plate number is... Oulu 24, you can find the bus attendant mage to confirm it."
