Don't confiscate my citizenship

In September in the royal capital of Icerita, the temperature has gradually faded away from the heat.

The morning breeze at Ikerite Magic Academy was slightly cool, and Lan Qi, who lived on the first floor, couldn't help but yawn.

Today is the first day of school, so you can't stay in bed.

He got out of bed and walked out of the bedroom. With his toothbrush in his mouth, the sleepy Lan Qi looked out the floor-to-ceiling window of the living room and saw a few chirping birds on the edge of a small independent courtyard like a small garden. They were from his dormitory. balcony.

When Lan Qi opened the curtains and slowly walked to the birds, they were still jumping around, showing no intention of flying away.

In this way, Lan Qi stayed in the courtyard for a while, and there were more and more birds around him.

It was as if they were very close to Lan Qi and looked forward to leaning next to Lan Qi.

"I'm not a Druid, why am I so popular with you..."

Lan Qi was brushing his teeth and mumbling to himself incoherently.

In fact, he has discovered that whether it was when he was in the border town, just walking would attract many cute kittens, or after he came to Icerite College, the birds on the campus regarded him as a friend.

The little animals were completely unaware of themselves.

Maybe it's because his emerald green pupils are naturally gentle, or maybe it's because the aura on his body is as poetic as painting.

Anyway, he didn't hate the feeling of being surrounded by these little creatures.

After washing up, Lan Qi put on the Sage Academy student uniform sent by the Student Service Center.

Then he stood in front of the mirror.

The boy on the mirror has a graceful face, a straight nose, and the hair on the left ear is neatly combed behind the ear. The soft black hair looks calm and bright in the sun, and the long and light eyebrows are in sharp contrast with the emerald green eyes. , gentle and kind, yet elegant and calm.

The dark blue long coat elegantly covers his slender body. The design of the Sage Academy uniform is like the midnight sky, mysterious and profound. The sleeves of the jacket are loose, and the edges of the hem and hem are decorated with golden stitching, which constitutes the pattern of the art style of the Kingdom of Hutton and is also an ancient southern continent text symbol.

The collar of the shirt inside the coat was folded into a retro white collar. There was a small golden badge in the center of the collar, engraved with the school emblem of Icerite Academy and the protective spell of the Sage Academy, shining in the sun. , like a bright star, without losing the artistic sense.

Under the shirt was a pair of dark trousers and a pair of boots. The boots were carefully polished and shone with a black sheen.

Lan Qi stamped his feet. It was stable and comfortable, fully meeting the needs of an adventurer.

"Perfect, let's go."

Lan Qi's legendary life begins today!

…

Ikerita Academy, the main building of the Sage Academy.

Compared with other classical buildings in the academy, this building is quite novel and unique. The roof is composed of a series of folded light-sensing magic devices, which introduces different natural lights and blocks low-angle sunlight.

There are more than a hundred qualified students in the Sage Academy this year, and they are randomly divided into three classes.

Elective courses do not have fixed classrooms. Instead, you need to go to the corresponding building according to the course schedule. Sometimes you may go to the multi-functional teaching rooms or experimental fields of other departments.

However, compulsory courses are required by all students no matter how they choose the courses. Students in a class will be concentrated in fixed classrooms during the compulsory course time.

First-year students at Sage Academy rarely have the opportunity to challenge the real world of shadows in the first semester, so the basic required courses will be quite full.

For example, today, there are four required courses: "Introduction to Magic Control", "Practical Techniques of Spell Casting", "Principles of Spell Casting Without Chant", and "Magic Detection and Shielding".

"Sa Shuang is in class."

Lan Qi quickly found the classroom according to the map signs on campus.

When he saw the classroom, there were already many students inside.

He should have arrived quite early, but in order to feed the animal friends on the balcony, it took him a few minutes longer than expected.

The wooden-floored lecture hall is very spacious, and each student has free and extended space and desk area.

Outside the floor-to-ceiling windows on the side is a green lawn. Sunlight shines in through the windows, making the classroom appear bright and warm. The lighting is a combination of natural light and artificial light, which can be adjusted as needed.

When the students in the classroom saw Lan Qi entering, they all showed expressions of "discovering a rare person".

The noble young master with black hair and green eyes is the "Dark Justice" who ranked first in this year's entrance exam of their Academy of Sages.

This is the title given to Lan Qi by some students in the academy, and it belongs to a new category among professionals in the legal department of the Sage Academy.

Although Ranchi was famous for his performance in the second round, no one knew about his actual ability.

A widely circulated rumor is - "This guy was surprisingly lucky. In the third round, the examiner encountered a congenital cardiovascular and cerebrovascular disease, so he passed easily."

Therefore, many students are actually a little envious, jealous and questioning of Lan Qi.

"Eh."

As soon as he entered the classroom, Lan Qi looked at the seats scattered around, and soon discovered an outlier in the back row——

Princess Hyperion.

That was the good teammate he met in the third round of actual combat assessment [Infinite Phantom Canyon].

She seemed to have taken the initiative to find a seat near the back.

But more than that, there was no one sitting in the entire circle around her, as if they were deliberately avoiding her.

It seems that there is always a feeling that Hyperion is isolated.

Lan Qi thinks this phenomenon is not good.

So he walked along the steps to the back of the classroom until he reached the row where Hyperion was and sat near her.

"Good morning, Hyperion."

Lan Qi smiled and greeted her.

"Um."

Hyperion glanced at him in surprise, then turned her head and ignored him.

Her tangled eyes obviously did not mean to neglect Lan Qi, but just for Lan Qi's own good, to keep a certain distance from him.

Seeing this, Lan Qi didn't chat much with Huberian.

It didn't matter where he sat to listen to the lectures, and he only knew Hyperion.

So he opened the "Hutton Kingdom Judicial Examination - Real Case Collection" in his hand and began to study seriously.

While you're waiting for class to start, it's perfect to have this morning book with you.

…

The first three sections of the boring compulsory course ended without any surprise.

Four p.m.

The sky has turned orange-red, and the sun will begin to set slowly in the near future. The shadows of the trees outside the classroom window cast long shadows on the grass, and the wind blows and the leaves rustle.

Hyperion was still sitting in the back row, and Lan Qi was still sitting near her.

However, the state of the two of them was completely different from that in the morning.

These courses are very easy for Huberian to learn, and it can even be said that she is able to do them with ease.

And Ranchi.

He was now lying on the table and fell asleep.

It was as if the previous three classes had placed an excessive load on him, and the half hour he was waiting for before the last class started was a rare moment of relaxation for him.

This classroom is located in the historic renovated building of Sage Yard. The wooden frames of the classroom doors and windows remain in sharp contrast with the red brick walls outside.

The distinctive high ceiling in this space is made of exquisite plaster, and the details retain the classical style of the Hutton Kingdom. Several automatically adjustable magic lamps in the dome shed soft light, making the students in the classroom happy. Feel very comfortable.

Even though the classroom was vacant with no classes, it was much more active than in the morning.

In addition to the students who have been in the classroom early waiting for the start of the next class, they sit in their seats and read the textbooks alone. From time to time, senior students or students from other colleges come to the corridors and classrooms of the Sage Academy. , chatting about various anecdotes with acquaintances who are new to school today.

On the contrary, the back row of the classroom seemed extremely empty, as if there was a barrier insulating the two spaces.

Hubery, who had amber pupils, sat there quietly, her cold eyes looking through the window at the distant sky. There was no expression on her face, but there were many thoughts in her eyes.

Some of the senior students who come to "drop in" are friends or acquaintances of the freshmen in the class before they enter. There are also "star freshmen" like Princess Vivian from other classes who are booked by the team even before they enter school. The stars hold the moon.

However, all this excitement has nothing to do with Hyperion.

Even if she were the second ranked freshman in the Sage Academy this year, there would be no team to recruit her.

In the past, with her father around, no one dared to bully her because she had demon blood. She seemed to be surrounded by good people. Now that she was alone and weak, she finally felt how much hostility and suspicion the demons would receive in this country.

It was a blessing to be able to survive smoothly into the afternoon today.

Unlike most people, she didn't want anyone to find her.

Because if other senior students come to look for her, they will definitely be those troublesome people in the capital, which will only be a disaster rather than a blessing.

Another thing that can be called lucky is that there is a gentle person beside him. He does not dislike that he is a disaster star, and has never harbored a trace of malice since they met.

Hyperion couldn't help but look at this talented but somewhat confused sleeping boy.

Originally, several students from other classes came to the classroom to inquire about Lan Qi, but when they saw Lan Qi sitting next to her, their expressions changed and they found an excuse to leave.

And, Hyperion finally discovered something.

Lan Qi, a guy who looks very smart, is actually a magic fool.

Apart from using magic cards, he has never learned how to use any spells. He is completely unlike a normal legal combat professional.

But he was also very upright, and despite being tortured, he was unwilling to skip classes or not study seriously.

Hyperion sighed helplessly. She didn't expect that Lan Qi, who seemed to be all-powerful, was not good at something.

Although there were students chatting in the classroom, there was also noise outside the corridor.

Hyperion was still flipping through the book quietly, turning the pages gently, trying not to wake Lan Qi next to her.

Every kindness is repaid. She has always held grudges, but she will also remember the kindness of others.

What's more, I don't know why, but Lan Qi's existence seems to be accompanied by a talent that makes the surrounding creatures unconscious and calm, even if he is just lying there sleeping.

Unconsciously, her thoughts were immersed in books.

…

The sky outside the floor-to-ceiling window changed quietly as the minutes passed. It seemed that thick clouds were passing by, briefly blocking the bright afternoon sun. The natural light in the classroom became dim from time to time, and the light and shadow on the ground seemed to be covered by a layer of light. The gauze covered it.

However, this did not affect Hyperion's reading, because she only felt an inexplicable sense of peace of mind, a feeling she had not experienced for a long time.

"Huberlian, I didn't expect you to be admitted successfully."

The soft yet abrupt voice sent a chill down Hyperion's spine, and she quickly turned her head.

I saw a young man with a fair face and his hands behind his back standing on the aisle beside her seat. His expression was calm and calm, yet unruly.

"..."

Even though Hyperion's expression did not change, her breath had become quite bad.

"Modan... why did you come to me?"

Obviously, this is someone she really doesn't want to see.

Mordan Garsigos, the second son of the Marquis Garsigos family, is also a third-year student of the Sage Academy who is a powerful and talented challenger in the shadow world.

Compared to the nobles from the hostile factions of Duke Alainsal, Hyperion's father, the Marquis of Garsigos family, who was already on good terms with Duke Alainsal, was even more detestable to her.

Since the disappearance of the Duke of Alansal, the Marquis of Garsigos not only had no intention of helping her, but instead was eyeing her and wanted to force her to marry into the Marquis' family in order to control her.

"Huberlian, if you want to challenge the Shadow World in first grade, you can consider joining my team. Or you can only join my team, because I am the only one willing to take you through the Shadow World."

Modan's words sounded polite, like a brother speaking to his sister, but his eyes did not conceal his naked domination and predatory desire for Hyperion.

"unnecessary."

Hyperion just responded coldly.

She knew that even though she, like Lan Qi, had already become an iron-level adventurer without taking the entrance exam because of her high evaluation.

However, due to the rule that freshmen cannot challenge alone, she is destined to waste many opportunities to become stronger in the first grade.

because.

Just like Modan said.

No team or member in this school would be willing to accept a demon like her.
