Chapter 861: Imperial Magic Academy

Imperial Capital.

On the way to the Imperial Magic Academy.

Lan Qingyou, while sitting in the carriage enjoying the Afternoon Tea brought by the maid, was reading the book in her hands.

Three days had passed since the last duel until now.

During these three days, Lan Qingyou hadn't gone anywhere.

She just honestly stayed in the villa's study reading books.

The first was naturally to absorb the vast amount of knowledge in the study.

The second was preparing for the upcoming teaching.

Even if she made up her mind to just go up and blabber on about her own things, and wouldn't answer any questions.

The most basic things still needed to be handled a bit.

For example, things like preparing lessons which she had never done before.

Not to mention.

Although it was a bit troublesome, it was still quite interesting.

Of course, anyway, she wouldn't do this kind of thing a second time.

That's why she felt it was interesting.

If she did it long-term, it definitely wouldn't be this pleasant.

Although Elisa had agreed that day.

But in the end, she still chose to give up becoming a professor, and turned to return to the Aureolus Family to learn their family knowledge.

That's also true.

Originally that guy had always taken reproducing the glory of the Aureolus Family as her duty.

Now that the Emerald Tablet was opened, the Homunculus was made, wasn't this the only remaining project left.

And this time she just happened to arrive at a thousand years ago.

Studying more of her own family's knowledge conversely became her premium option.

So...

Today, only Lan Qingyou was left going to the Academy alone.

Regarding this, although Lan Qingyou didn't care, she still had a feeling of 'being played'.

Fortunately, the increasingly close library could give her quite a bit of comfort.

Otherwise, with her personality, she might have just thrown in the towel on that very day.

"Sir Lan Qingyou, the Imperial Academy has arrived."

Right when Lan Qingyou was checking for omissions and filling in gaps for the 'textbook' in her hands, the coachman's voice came from outside.

Lan Qingyou didn't think much either.

She stuffed the book in her hand into the Herb Pouch, pushed open the carriage door, and floated out of the carriage.

The Imperial Magic Academy was located in a bustling commercial district.

Or rather, it was precisely because of the existence of the Magic Academy that this place became a commercial district.

After all, every year students from all over the country, and even from all over the world, came here to study and pursue further education.

So there was absolutely no worry about not having a source of customers.

The overall tone of the Magic Academy gave Lan Qingyou a 'golden' feeling.

However, this golden color didn't refer to that kind of magnificent 'gold'.

But that kind of gilded gold that could ripple open under the sunlight.

The reason it was like this was entirely attributed to the fact that the Academy, from inside to outside, from the main gate to the buildings, and even specifically down to every tree, was meticulously engraved with those Magic Runes.

The things composed of these runes not only had a certain protective effect.

But could also gather the magic power in the air.

Making the entire Academy look like it had much richer magic power than the surroundings.

Of course, inside this there was also the contribution of the magic particles naturally exuding from every student and teacher.

The silver archway in front of the Academy's main gate was covered with a thing called Moonlight Vine.

This was used to exorcise demons.

In the context of the Empire, it also symbolized smoothness and praying for blessings.

However, in Lan Qingyou's view, the greatest possibility why these Moonlight Vines could appear in this place was still because it had luminescent properties.

At night, especially on nights with bright moonlight.

These Moonlight Vines would all emit a faint glow.

Making the entire main gate look even more gorgeous, and mysterious.

To put it bluntly, it was a kind of lighting project.

It was just that lighting projects used electricity, while Moonlight Vines used their own magic power.

And inside the main gate, Lan Qingyou could very clearly see the Academy's several main buildings.

Directly facing the main gate was a five-story-high teaching building piled up with cloud white stone.

Surrounding the four large and eight corridors were entwined azure spirit woods.

The corridor pillars were carved full of ancient incantations, and a light touch with the fingertips would have faint light flowing.

What these corridors connected to were some important buildings of the Academy.

To the west was a magic high tower with a giant rhombus-shaped magic crystal floating at the top.

To the east was a lake with ancient trees coiling like dragons on the shore.

Constant temperature spirit lotuses floated on the lake surface, and the water mist carried a faint magic fragrance.

And in a position further north, there was a three-story quaint building.

She didn't know what it was, but it didn't hinder Lan Qingyou.

Besides this, there were also places like student dormitories, cafeterias, stables, and laboratories.

In short.

Everything an academy should have, this academy had.

"Excuse me, is it Sir Lan Qingyou?"

Right when Lan Qingyou was observing this Academy, a woman wearing a black uniform and gold-rimmed glasses on her face walked forward at the main gate.

This person looked about over thirty years old.

Her unsmiling expression under the enhancement of the gold-rimmed glasses looked somewhat strict.

Lan Qingyou could only see one kind of person from this face no matter how she looked at it.

That was the person you least wanted to see by the window when slacking off in class—the homeroom teacher.

"Yes, you are..."

Lan Qingyou revealed a friendly smile towards the other party.

"I am Aina, a teacher from the Alchemy Department. Next, I will lead the way for you to your office."

Although the teacher named Aina looked very strict.

But she was extremely polite in treating Lan Qingyou.

After all, no matter what was said, she was a Title Holder.

Although it was a sudden parachuting in, to the people of the Alchemy Department, there wasn't any essential harm.

After all, the other person only taught one class every three days.

So everyone couldn't be said to have any relationship of interests between them.

"Look quickly! That floating person!"

"Is it Sir Lan Qingyou?"

"It should be, have you seen anyone else who is always floating?"

"Previously I heard that Sir Lan Qingyou was a professor at the Imperial Academy, now it seems to be true."

"Tsk tsk, truly comparing people angers one to death."

"How so?"

"Others are already professors at twenty, yet I still haven't graduated..."

"If you say it like that, the other person Sir Lan Qingyou is even a titled powerhouse, why don't you go die?"

"Hey! Being contrary, are you!?"

When Lan Qingyou entered the Academy.

Those people who were resting or walking hurriedly all stopped their movements and looked at this girl who 'didn't walk the ordinary path'.

Although not everyone went to watch the battle a few days ago.

But some details of the battle were still spread out by those unaffected people.

Although how two alchemists exactly created a scene like a military war was something many people couldn't imagine.

But what could be confirmed was that both were genuine, and extremely outstanding alchemists.

So that's why upon learning the two would become professors of the Imperial Academy's Alchemy Department, no one felt this was anything wrong.

Of course.

Not feeling it was wrong didn't mean everyone had no other reactions.

After all, it was Title Holders coming to teach.

No matter how old the other person was, they definitely had their merits.

Especially those students who originally wanted to develop towards mechanical alchemy.

They were even more eagerly awaiting Lan Qingyou's arrival.
