Chapter 33: Huberlian Secrets Unspeakable

The courtyard examination site, originally filled with the smell of gunpowder, now felt eerily silent.
Both Huberlyan and Vivian stared at the floor, unwilling to say another bad word about each other.
"
…
" Let me know if you have any other text you'd like translated!
...In the midst of this courtyard, there was an absolute stillness.
Lanche's speech also stunned the other two candidates waiting nearby.
Although Lancy may not have been aware of it himself.
But they felt that Ranch had a unique talent for navigating chaotic situations!
Even though this isn't strictly a "shura field" right now, because Lance could have stayed out of it from the beginning and he actively joined to try and mediate!
This even gave them a sudden urge to become his disciples.
Isn't this more practical than magic
Their expressions were soon noticed by the strange man across from them.
Lanche looked at the two examinees who cast respectful glances at him and smiled in return, nodding.
As expected, doing something like this to mediate a dispute is truly admirable.
It made Lance feel good to be respected.
More importantly, it is Ranchi's wish that these students get along harmoniously in the examination hall right now.
With a little more respect and understanding, and a little less conflict, the world would be a better place.
……
Until everyone stood silently in the courtyard for several tens of seconds.
Accompanied by hurried footsteps.
Sister Teresa also returned to the examination hall with her small magic device in her arms.
"Sorry everyone, I'm back..."
She had finally managed to see off the examiner from the previous test, Farrault. She'd been worried all along that during her absence, the ill-tempered Duchess Huberly and Princess Vivian would come to blows.
However, before Mother Teresa could finish her words, she was taken aback in slight surprise.
At present, the atmosphere at the exam hall is unusually harmonious.
Could it be that she was overthinking things
Mother Teresa wandered her mind, reminding herself to focus on the task at hand.
She hurried to Hubert and Lance's presence and said:
Congratulations on successfully passing the exam.
Mother Teresa smiled at Huberlian and Ranch.
On the first day of school, you will be directed to the main building of the Sage Academy. Additionally, student dormitories can be checked in three days before the start of school, and student bracelets can be picked up from the Magic Engineering Institute around the same time.
She pointed at the two wristbands, implying that they could exchange them for official admission certificates at the Magic Engineering Institute when the time came.
Thank you.
"Thank you, Sister Teresa."
After receiving thanks from Huberlian and Ranch, Theresa and the two waved goodbye gently.
Then, just as quickly, she darted over to Vivian's side where the second group was waiting for their turn, just like a waitress in a lunchtime restaurant.
"Sorry to keep you waiting. Now, we can begin the exam…"
Vivi listened absentmindedly to Sister Teresa's words, her eyes still following Hubertlian's back.
Although Huberly this time just happened to meet someone who was looking out for her.
But this is only a matter of temporary luck, and it will soon vanish like smoke.
Now, Ranch has no reservations about Huberlian.
The boy, who came only from this border, didn't know the secrets of Huberlian.—
Huperblyan is half-demon, the illegitimate daughter of Duke Alansar and a demon.
Vivian was certain that if Lance ever found out about Huberlian's demon heritage, his friendly demeanor would change drastically. He might even join the ranks of those persecuting Huberlian.
Because, in this Heton Kingdom which was ravaged by the demon race war many years ago, there is no one who does not hate and fear the demons!
……
The Ictere Academy, a building dedicated to learning and education.
A wide staircase, several meters wide, ascended level by level. Its design was unique and ahead of its time. The beige stone and crystal railings shimmered against each other, like a beam of light passing through the floors.
Each level of the staircase has a different function. Some wooden, grand steps can serve as resting areas for students, while others display the latest works from the academy. The lowest level of the stairs even connects to the spacious terrace of this building.
Two young figures walked up the stairs of the building, their steps confident and poised, as if they were in a pressure-free art space.
After the arduous exam today, a broad smile couldn't conceal Lance's delight.
While Huberly still remained as emotionless as ever, showing no hint of her inner thoughts, the malice in her eyes had unknowingly dissipated at this moment.
"Once upon a time, there was Hubbylean."
Lanche walked and chatted with his newly acquainted comrade Huberlian.
You're familiar with the capital, you've seen a lot, what do you think is a fast way to make money here Of course, something not written in the law.
After he posed the question, he added a follow-up sentence.
Although the Penal Code itself is like a handbook for making money, one mustn't do it that way.
Two figures could be seen walking, occasionally passing by the decorative objects along the steps. There were newly cultivated plants from the Lianjin Academy, new academic achievements, as well as new developments and peculiar artworks from the Magic Engineering Academy.
"…"
Huberly hesitated for a moment in silence.
She had intended to say goodbye to Lanchi there.
She was very grateful for Lance's help and friendly attitude, but she also knew clearly that it was impossible for her to become friends with him.
Her secret as a half-breed demon wouldn't stay hidden from Lance for long.
Although she didn't intentionally conceal or deceive him.
But even if Lance didn't proactively investigate, his friendliness towards her would only delay the inevitable. Those who wanted to target her would eventually sense Lance's obstruction and reveal her secret to him, ultimately striking her down at the most critical moment.
What she least wanted to accept was that former friends had suddenly become strangers, cold and distant, even turning into irreconcilable enemies...
Perhaps it can just be seen as a return for the brief and ephemeral friendship between Ranch and her.
"If my father hadn't disappeared, with your abilities, the Alansar Duke family would be very happy to invest in someone like you. Unfortunately, I have no authority to use the family funds at this time."
Huberly sighed, "At least for now, I'll be as sincere with her as Lance has been with me."
If you don't have any manufacturing skills, the fastest way to make money is to challenge the shadow world.
They continued walking down the steps, at an unhurried pace. Between each level, giant glass walls reflected patches of sunlight, making the whole space seem bright. Then, as they were obscured by marble walls, it became dim again.
"Hmm..."
Lan Qi pondered for a moment, then nodded.
Although he has already learned the basics of making magic cards, he can only make low-level cards for now.
And his skills were still quite crude, with a very low success rate for making cards. He often blew up the cards so badly that Talia would just shake her head.
Even the registration exam for card makers by the South Continent Card Maker's Association, he hasn't the confidence to take it yet.
Looking at it this way, my combat job [White Mage] seems to be more ahead of its time than the crafting job [Card Maker].
