The academy has its own uniform, and I’ll be wearing it most days. I won’t need many casual outfits.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I see. Then check your purse once more. Is this enough money? The journey is long—you’ll need plenty along the way.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’ve already checked. Besides, Father deposited extra funds in Langard in advance. You needn’t worry about that.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hmph, then what about these……”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hulim felt a touch helpless as her mother Lilia suddenly grew fussy and overbearing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Mother, please rest easy. I have everything I need. You don’t have to worry.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hmph…… very well.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lilia seemed downcast, but Hulim could do nothing about it. As the last child still at home, she was now leaving for a distant land—and a mother’s heart could not help but ache.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hulim, are you finished? The beast carriage has arrived!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her father Rezelian’s voice called from outside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’m ready, Father. I’m coming now.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hulim replied, lifting her trunk with her right hand. She then looked up at Lilia and took her mother’s free left hand in hers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Mother, let’s go outside.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>……\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Outside the Heyerar family gate,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>a beast-drawn carriage pulled by Shield-Horned Beasts was waiting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The driver chatted casually with the butler Laurent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When he saw Rezelian and the two women approaching, he broke into a warm smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Greetings, sir!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rezelian nodded in acknowledgment. “Hello, sorry to keep you waiting. I’ll be in your care today.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The driver waved his hands hurriedly, laughing. “It’s no trouble at all! Well…… sir, madam, shall we board?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Very well.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The driver quickly took Hulim’s trunk and strapped it to the roof rack, while Hulim and her parents climbed into the carriage cabin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hulim’s journey was a long one—she could not travel alone in a single beast carriage. Instead, she would join a convoy of passing merchants. More people meant fewer problems, and enough guards to ensure safety.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This book was originally published on NovelBin. Check it out there for the real experience.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once ready, the driver took the reins and shook the bell.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jingle-jingle~!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Moo——!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Shield-Horned Beast let out a low rumble and slowly began to walk.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Miss! Take care on the road! We’ll be waiting for your return home!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the carriage moved, Jessica, Laurent, and the elderly Mrs. Jaeger at the gate waved goodbye.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hulim leaned halfway out the window and waved back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Goodbye, Jessica, Mr. Laurent, Mrs. Jaeger!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Shield-Horned Beast started slow, but once it picked up speed, it moved quickly. Before long, the Heyerar gate vanished entirely from sight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>……\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the Mentor Town waystation,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>several merchant caravans had gathered, along with others traveling to other cities. With departure near, everyone busied themselves checking luggage, making for a busy scene.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ah! There they are——!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fran was the first to spot the Heyerar family’s arrival.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone gathered to see them off looked up at once.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hul——im——!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The moment Hulim stepped down, a drawn-out cry came rushing toward her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before she could clearly see who it was, the person threw herself into her arms.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Mmph—mmph, Fran, too tight! I can’t breathe!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“But—but I really don’t want you to leave~!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fran looked up at Hulim with teary eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hulim smiled helplessly at the sight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking around, she saw not only Fran but also Colette, Ander, and even Teacher Kuno—all had come to see her off.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hulim, I’ve thought about it.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ander stepped forward first.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Right now, even ten of me wouldn’t stand a chance against you. But I won’t slack off. Sooner or later, I’ll become strong too. When that day comes, don’t let me catch up because you slacked off at the academy.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hulim looked at him calmly and replied, “Don’t worry. That won’t happen.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She did not clarify whether “that” referred to Ander growing strong…… or her being overtaken.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After Ander spoke, Colette followed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hulim~! Don’t forget the shops I told you about! Be sure to tell me what you think later~!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yes. I’ll visit the dessert shop you mentioned, Teacher Colette.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Colette giggled, then sneaked over to Hulim, slipping something into her hand and whispering in her ear:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The owner of that dessert shop is actually a friend of mine~! Show her this, and she’ll know I sent you—you’ll get a huge discount~!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“……Thank you, Teacher Colette.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hulim quietly put away the pendant Colette had given her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hehe~! Don’t mention it, don’t mention it~!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once Colette finished,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hulim turned to the last person: Kuno.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“……”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He fell silent for a moment, seemingly unsure how to start.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ahem…… Well, Hulim. You’re the finest student I’ve ever taught. When you reach Langard, don’t let folks from other places look down on you! If anyone talks back, make ’em submit with your fist!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kuno’s words were tough and straightforward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hulim looked at him and nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I understand what to do, Instructor Kuno.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The single phrase Instructor Kuno lifted Kuno’s spirits at once.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yes—no matter how extraordinary Hulim was, she was still his student. As her instructor, he ought to rejoice and take pride in her achievements!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Excellent! That’s the spirit! Don’t you forget it!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once the three had said their goodbyes, Hulim turned back to Fran, still teary-eyed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She patted Fran’s head, then leaned close and whispered:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Fran, when I come back, I’ll bring you famous desserts from the capital. How does that sound?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Sniff, sniff…… r-really?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fran asked, sniffling.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Of course. Do you want them?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I do!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Then wait patiently for me to come back, okay?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Mmph…… I……”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fran looked conflicted, then hung her head reluctantly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“……Okay.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hulim smiled and patted her head again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You’re such a good girl~!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fran immediately pouted. “Hulim, I’m not a little kid!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Mm-hmm, mm-hmm. You’re not a little kid~!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hulim——”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Clang! Clang! Clang!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A sharp knocking sound cut through Hulim and Fran’s conversation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“We’re departing now——!”\u003C\u002Fp>",978,"2026-06-10T06:36:37.917Z",1,"novelbin.me","026aba7cda56ec19f2f79fedacd2a2b62ea8883790af3edffd2422604f76cd71","the-adventures-of-hulim-chapter-69","the-adventures-of-hulim-chapter-67",528,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fthe-adventures-of-hulim-cover.jpg"]
