Don't confiscate my citizenship

When the first ray of light in the morning gradually dispels the chill of the night, it shines on the streets, buildings and street benches.

The light is gradually stretched.

The city named Icerita seemed to be awakened by the love of the gods.

It didn't take long.

Shops on both sides of the street opened for business one after another, and enthusiastic shopkeepers greeted their neighbors.

Under the open-air canopy of the cafe, wisps of light coffee aroma spread in the air, accompanied by light and energetic jazz music that filled the bustling streets.

More and more people started to get up early to go to work, walking hurriedly among the crowds in the center of Icerita City.

In the morning breeze, the fragrance of fruits and flowers still lingers.

With a faint smile on his face, Lanci walked with Thalia on the streets of Icerita.

Bathed in the morning sunshine, he looked calm and had a sunny temperament all over his body.

Lanci seemed to be in a good mood.

He now finds school exams and the film world quite interesting.

Thalia, on the other hand, looked like going to work was like visiting a grave.

She was very reluctant to accompany Lan Qi to Icerite Academy.

The last time she followed Lan Qi out of the academy, she was stared at several times, which made her feel numb.

Fortunately, the third round of exams will not be broadcast live.

Only faculty members will be watching from the background.

Otherwise, Talia would take sick leave today and not want to follow Lan Qi again.

"Tata, are you in a bad mood?"

Lan Qi felt that Talia had talked a lot less in the past two days.

Today it was even more obvious that she resisted staying with him.

"..."

Thalia ignored him.

Just look ahead.

Go straight ahead.

So Lan Qi quickened his pace slightly, started to jog, and turned around to glance at Thalia's face secretly.

Her expression was cold and she still ignored Lan Qi.

But at that moment, Lan Qi accidentally caught Thalia's eyes.

It makes Lan Qi feel that Talia hates him...

He couldn't help but froze in his steps, standing there in confusion and touching his head.

Obviously during this period of time, I felt that I had a slightly better relationship with her.

Why does it feel like her attitude has taken a turn for the worse again?

The devil's mind is so difficult to understand.

What's more, she is an old woman who has been single for hundreds of years.

Lan Qi thought to himself.

"..."

Thalia happened to walk up to Ranchi.

She turned her face sideways and stared at Lan Qi.

She didn't know why, but she felt an inexplicable urge to kill Lan Qi in her heart.

But he clearly didn't open his mouth to speak just now, and his expression looked normal...

"What's wrong Tata?"

Ranch asked gently.

It's completely impossible to tell what impolite thing was going on in his mind.

"nothing."

The words fell.

Thalia ignored Lanqi and walked forward.

“Chasing the cloud away~”

Lan Qi also hummed a tune happily and took steps to follow.

…

Half an hour later.

Icerite Academy, Learning and Education Building, seventh-floor atrium.

Daylight is refracted indoors through the huge glass dome, forming soft arcs of light, bringing some tranquility to the entire atrium.

As the light and shadow danced on the ground, Lan Qi, who was walking, could see the faculty and staff coming and going in the corridors around him.

He walked into this spacious and bright examination room again according to the examination time, and couldn't help but marvel at the architect's ingenuity.

Looking from a distance.

The giant Magical Machine Shadow World launch terminal appears to have been fixed.

It's just that there is an additional sign saying "Forced Restart is Strictly Prohibited" in a conspicuous position above.

It can be seen from the font that the person who added this warning was quite angry.

It is different from the second round of exams.

There are not many students and faculty waiting here today.

The third round of exams is scheduled by teachers from the Sage Academy, and the examiner for the corresponding session will appear directly in the shadow world.

Dean Loren is not here either.

It is said that he still has the responsibilities of the Church of the Goddess of Destiny and often leaves the royal capital of Icerite.

Slightly bypassing the marble door railing and walking into the examination waiting area, he saw two figures looking at him.

One is Teacher Theresa, who is holding a tablet-like magic instrument and is responsible for guiding in the examination room.

She and Lan Qi had met during the entrance test for attributes.

Teacher Teresa was very gentle and smiled slightly at Lan Qi when they met.

The other one, also wearing the same candidate bracelet as Lan Qi, was obviously his teammate in the third round of exams.

In the exam notice received yesterday, Lan Qi saw the instructions——

The theme of the third round of examination is "Practical Combat and Survival".

In this mode of examination, it is often difficult for healing mages and auxiliary mages to fight alone.

Therefore, the academy adopted a team assessment model, teaming up the output mage and the milk assistant.

Mostly in groups of three.

It can also test students’ team coordination.

After all, in the real film world, teams often prosper and lose.

If an accident occurs, there is a high probability that the team will be wiped out. There are no ifs.

However.

When Lan Qi saw his teammate clearly - that noble lady with extraordinary temperament.

Both parties seemed a little surprised.

At the end of the second round of the exam two days ago, she asked Lan Qi how long it took to pass the test.

Lan Qi was very conservative and answered in less than 50 minutes.

"Less than 50 minutes?"

Hyperion seemed a little amused and asked Lan Qi with a ridiculous tone.

She heard about it after leaving the examination room the day before yesterday.

There was a guy with black hair and green eyes who only took 10 minutes to complete the level.

She was still wondering at the time, it couldn't be the guy next to her who told her "the clearance time is less than 50 minutes".

Now, she was sure.

It’s this old Yinbi.

Lan Qi rubbed the back of his head slightly embarrassed.

He didn't expect that the third round of assessment would use such a team method.

"Do you know each other?"

Teacher Teresa looked at the subtle reactions between the two and couldn't help but asked curiously.

Both shook their heads.

Subsequently.

"My name is Ranch Wilford, and I am a white magician, but I have more functions than healing."

Lan Qi took the lead and introduced himself calmly.

What matters between teammates is honesty, there is nothing to hide.

After a brief silence.

"…Huberlian Aranzar."

The princess hesitated slightly and gave her name.

"Just think of me as an assassin."

Her words stopped abruptly and her introduction was rather brief.

Apparently he doesn't have that much trust in Lanci.

Lan Qi nodded.

I didn't plan to ask any more questions.

He looked towards the entrance of the examination room, seemingly waiting for their third teammate.

"No need to wait, he most likely won't come."

Hyperion said.

Her abrupt words suddenly attracted the confused eyes of Lan Qi and Theresa.

"Why."

"If nothing else goes wrong, you will receive news when the exam starts later, saying that this guy cannot take the exam here for some reason. What is the specific reason? It depends on whether they are coercion or inducement."

Hyperion spread her hands and said with cold eyes.

Although there was more helplessness in her voice, the violent anger in her heart could not be concealed in her pupils.

She knew very well what those aristocratic men who liked to manipulate the situation would do.

"Uh... Student Hyperion, this, this is just your inference, right?"

Hyperion's temperament was completely opposite to Lanci's, and Teresa couldn't help but feel a slight shiver down her spine.

If Ranchi is like the pure white warm sun in spring, then Hyperion is like an ominous thing that cannot be redeemed deep in the cold and dirty pool of blood.

Teresa looked at Ranchi.

Lan Qi looked unmoved and indifferent, showing no emotional changes as always.

Since Lan Qi didn't say anything, it was hard for her to express any opinions as a teacher.

…

It didn't take long.

It's almost time to start the exam.

As expected, the magic instrument in Teacher Teresa's hand sounded a notification——

Their teammates voluntarily gave up the exam because they decided to transfer to other colleges.

"this……"

Teacher Teresa also became a little troubled.

She probably knew in her heart that this seemingly accidental incident was not necessarily accidental.

After all, even Hyperion had guessed it in advance.

"Do you need me to ask the dean or deputy dean for instructions?"

Teresa asked hesitantly.

She knew that the actual combat test conducted by Ferat later would definitely not be easy.

What's more, Ferat himself is one of those people who "doesn't want Hyperion to enroll in school."

Just relying on Hyperion and the weak white magician Lanqi, there is no chance that the two of them can pass the level...

Hyperion shook her head.

Her cold eyes softened a little when looking at Theresa.

Although she never felt much kindness, she only grew up with mutual malice.

But more or less, she can still distinguish the good and bad in others.

"These nobles like to create perfect accidents, leaving no chance for anyone to catch them."

Hyperion smiled,

"Even if today's exam will not be broadcast to the outside world, there must be many pairs of eyes secretly watching this stage."

Although it is a bit more extreme, Hyperion's last teammate can be asked to take the exam normally, then become an actor, or even stab Hyperion directly in the back.

But if it was too obvious and Dean Loren discovered some clues, Loren might investigate the fairness of the exam.

Therefore, traders are more willing to create an accident.

"Then why don't these people come to me?"

Lan Qi raised her chin and frowned, seeming to be thinking about something seriously.

Hyperion was slightly silent.

She didn't know whether Lan Qi really didn't understand or was pretending not to understand.

"Those guys also like to save face. If they bribe two candidates directly, it would be too unlikely to be an accident."

Hyperion explained simply.

Of course, she believed that a smart person like Lan Qi could easily understand the real reason——

Those big shots didn't think Lan Qi had much practical ability.

Not only that, Lan Qi can also allow the exam to continue as normal and become a tool to drag down Hyperion.

If there was really only Hyperion left as a candidate, the academy would not be so cruel as to let her continue to challenge the examiner. Instead, it would be more likely to put her into other teams and slightly increase the overall difficulty of the exam.

"Well, that's really a pity..."

Lan Qi nodded slightly and sighed.

The expression looks like a missed opportunity to make a fortune.

"Do you really want to be bribed by them?"

Hyperion stared at Lan Qi's unabashed regret, feeling very ridiculous.

What had he done to make him disrespect her so much that he wouldn't even act?

Even if this guy has some unique talents, he is still no different from those bastards with bad intentions.

"Of course."

Lan Qi sneered, nodded and affirmed,

"Oh, if you dare to cause trouble for my exam, then I will definitely collect evidence for them on the spot, then donate the stolen money to the Church of Destiny, and report this group of people for bribing and disrupting the country's regular examination order, and at the same time apply for Article 675 of the Hutton Code Page of clerical intervention regulations, requesting the temple to use divine magic to trace the source of this wrong account and conduct a thorough investigation. The priest of the Goddess of Destiny will determine that I have no subjective intention of extortion, just to collect evidence. Then I will receive awards and protection from the church, and maybe I can become a trainee priest in one fell swoop..."

He spoke righteously, and if he had a copy of the code in his hand, he would probably have opened it and explained it to Hyperion on the spot.

Hyperion: "..."

Theresa next to her opened her lips slightly when she heard Lan Qi's words, and couldn't say the words for a long time.

Hyperion realized that she had misunderstood.

She decided to retract her preamble.

Compared with those unscrupulous guys, this Lanqi is the real sword tomb!
