After Lorrain Hill and Keti left, the underground retreat became quiet again.
"Si Ye, come here quickly, Luo Lan left some sweets for us, they are delicious."
Chris sat at the table, opened the light red box in front of her, took out a piece of candy, unwrapped the bow-tie candy wrapper on it, and revealed the white square gummy pieces inside.
"I know." Si Ye walked over slowly holding the book in his arms.
"Here~" Chris handed over a candy. It seemed to be a small ball, orange and translucent, and seemed to be a little soft and elastic.
Si Ye couldn't resist Chris's kindness, so he took a small bite of the candy and chewed it slowly. A sweet and sour taste filled his mouth.
"What's wrong? What's bothering you, Si Ye?" Chris looked at Si Ye who seemed to be thinking about something.
"A little worried." Si Ye swallowed the candy.
"After little Lorraine left with Keti, she will not stay in school for a long time before leaving. She will probably return to Crancia soon, and then..."
"Is Si Ye worried that Luo Lan will get involved in the war with Keti?" Chris asked with her legs crossed. As a willful witch, she is very free when there are no outsiders.
"I've actually considered this." The mirror witch put a lollipop into her mouth, took a lick, and then took it out.
"But it's not good if we continue to keep Keti. She is already waking up and has been wanting to see Luo Lan. If she is forced to stop her, she will definitely be unhappy. Over time, she may even have some resentment."
"There's no need to be so stiff, and I also believe that little Luolan will handle it well and won't let Keti go to the battlefield easily."
"Give each other more trust. Even if something goes wrong, we seniors will still be there to take care of it. Tidis will also help." Chris gently tapped her teeth and pulled out the pink and white stick.
Bite into a small piece of lollipop.
"Don't be as strong as before. Sometimes it's better to just let nature take its own course. You are not working in the academy now, so just have a good rest." Chris looked at Si Ye who was lying on the table. This witch sometimes
The sense of responsibility is too strong again.
"Huh, okay." Si Ye sighed slightly.
"But I always feel that Frost Rose has been a little strange recently, and there are some bad signs." Si Ye said this, and then Chris handed over a big wave candy.
Si Ye looked at the wave candy, which was not much smaller than his own head, and hesitated whether to catch it. After looking at it for a long time, he decided to stretch out his little hand and hold it.
"Yeah." Chris' tone was unusually serious this time.
"Actually, the last time was Agatha's time. Don't you think it's strange? Why are none of the Sequence 9s in the academy there by chance?"
"The one from Qiaodun Academy, after watching the Winter Festival Gala that year, suddenly said that he had something to go to the Endless Sea. Then Beanies was also transferred back by the church. She seemed to also know the situation of the other two Sequence 9s.
No worries about coming in and interrupting our fight."
"I had a vague feeling that something was wrong, but I couldn't find anything at the time, so I had to let nature take its course and let Keti and Luo Lan stay together to be safer."
"As expected, Agatha showed up later, and luckily Servais and Titus arrived and were able to digest the matter within the witch without causing any further conflict."
"In the past two years, I have been contacting other people in the Sage Association and collecting a lot of information from various places. Only then did I discover some clues."
"What's the clue? Kris never told me." Si Ye put down the wave candy in his hand and looked at his friend across from him worriedly.
"Some people seem to be impatient and want to try something. They are testing the taboos of the past twilight era."
"It's not that there were many people involved and they didn't end up directly, but some people seemed to be deliberately condoning certain behaviors."
"It's like the guard who was guarding did not take action, but quietly watched the thief open the closed box in the room." Chris made an analogy.
"There is no unity within the Sage Association." Si Ye sighed a little, but couldn't help it. She didn't have many contacts with other people, and she didn't have as many contacts as Chris.
"I hope little Lorraine can explode some fish this time, and Keti will protect her well." Chris said.

Emenas, Walled City Academy.
The dormitory that had been away for a long time was opened. Although the things inside had not changed, they were covered with a little dust.
Lorraine Hill stretched out his hand, and wisps of breeze blew continuously, accurately taking away all kinds of dust and flying out of the window, making the room clean again.
"What do you want to eat tonight, Keti." She led the girl beside her to the kitchen or laboratory nearby.
"I like everything Lorraine does." Keti followed Lorraine Hill here.
"Then let's make mushroom soup." Thinking of the scene of Keti picking mushrooms in the past, Lorraine Hill suddenly wanted to try it again.
"Hmm." Keti stood aside curiously as always, looking at Lorraine Hill.
"Come, Keti, help peel the potatoes."
"OK."
The two of them seemed to have returned to their days in the academy, peacefully cooking in the kitchen and preparing dinner.
————————
The next day, Black Swan Castle activity room.
"Woo hoo, Sister Lorraine is finally back~" As soon as Ye Ling saw Lorraine Hill appear, she rushed over.
After she and several others heard that Lorraine Hill had returned to school, she gathered in this activity room again.
"I thought I wouldn't be able to see you anymore." Eidolon mumbled as he rubbed himself in Lorraine Hill's arms.
Graduation is coming soon, and this little guy is also feeling sentimental. It is strange that her body has not continued to grow in the past two years, and she is still smaller than Lorraine Hill.
"Kuku, Ye Ling is still crying." Lily whispered from the side. She still fights with Ye Ling often, so naturally she will not let go of such an opportunity to laugh.
"I must be missing Loren." Alena was sitting aside at the moment. Compared to a few years ago, she was much more mature now. The yellow and white cat she was stroking on her knees was also much fatter and lazier. Now, I am not as afraid of people as before.
"Lorain hasn't changed at all." Letis was combing her complicated hairstyle today, revealing her smooth forehead and two light golden pendants hanging from her ears.
"Isn't Vimiya here?" Lorraine Hill put down the coquettish Eidolon in his arms and looked around, but did not see the blue-haired sea witch.
"Weimia heard that there was something going on at home in the first half of the year, so she asked for leave." Niya shook her head. The horned girl still looked a bit petite among the others. She was standing quietly aside at the moment. She was more confident and peaceful than before. .
"Hey, the snacks are baked." Bu Mansha came out wearing an apron, still holding pieces of freshly baked snacks in her hands.
"This is my masterpiece this year, why don't you try it, Lorraine?" After placing the plate, the girl next door said with a smile.
Although she has won consecutive championships on campus, she seems to have no airs at all, making it difficult for people to tell that she is the holder of the "only crown" three times.
"Ugh... don't feed me anymore." Ye Ling muttered, shaking his head vigorously, and blocking the snacks offered to him with his hands.
In order to turn Ye Ling's tears into laughter, everyone at the table brought snacks for her to stuff into her mouth.
"Keti, let's eat some too." Lorraine Hill picked up a crispy yellow snack, put it in Keti's mouth, and watched her eat it in small bites.
"Loland, eat too." Compared to before, Keti no longer eats blankly now, but reminds Lorraine Hill.
"OK."
Several people sat together and started talking to each other. Since Lorraine Hill left school, the number of times they get together with each other has gradually decreased.
"Time flies so fast, we are about to graduate." Bumansha said with a sigh. This eldest sister who has always been steady now also sighed like this.
"No, no, no, it's just that Bu Mansha is too powerful." Alena teased the tabby cat in her arms with a piece of biscuit.
"Letis and I are only in the fourth grade now. It's not easy to be promoted to the fifth grade." Although she is excellent, she cannot be called a genius.
"Hehe." Hearing this, Ye Ling smiled slightly proudly. As a very talented girl, she was naturally in the fifth grade, and now she was also ahead of Alena.
"Crybaby Ye Ling." Lily lost no time in expressing her dissatisfaction. As a girl with average talent, she is only in the third grade.
"I estimate it will take a few more years to graduate." Kafula said. This girl is still studying in the central school building, but she has a good attitude and is steadily improving herself.
"Niya is unexpected, she is already in fifth grade now." Letis looked at her former inconspicuous roommate with admiration.
After hearing this, Niya raised her head and felt a little embarrassed when she saw everyone focusing their attention on her.
"Actually, I'm just a little lucky." She said modestly.
In the past two years, Niya has made extremely rapid progress after untying her heart knot. In addition, with the auxiliary medicine given by Luo Lan, her progress has been even faster. She is now a Sequence 6 existence, which surprised her former friends.
"Does this mean that this year, Lorraine, Bumansha, Niya, and Ye Ling will graduate and leave?" Lily counted on her fingers.
"Yes." Bumansha held Lily in her arms, just like an older sister holding a younger sister. They both studied at the Walled City College, so naturally their relationship was deeper.
"Oh, then who will support the club in the future? The previous senior class has left, and now Bu Mansha and Lorraine are leaving too." Lily suddenly thought of her own weak strength, and was a little sad. The status of the Black Water Lily Club may be slowed down.
Slide down slowly.
Thinking about the past, in the club, there were not only extraordinary beings like Lorraine and Bumansha, but also powerful geniuses like Hongfan, Kuye, Atati, and Yigri. But now they have all left.
.
As for Lily, who is the elder of the club, she is only in the third grade now, and the existence of Sequence 4 cannot really support the transcendent status of 'Black Water Lily'.
"There is no such thing as a feast that lasts forever." Lorraine Hill comforted Lily and said a proverb from the East.
"After leaving school, everyone will have a broader space." Letis also said comfortingly. She has met many senior brothers from the same faction, and many of them will meet again after graduation.
"Everyone will have a chance to meet in the future. If not, I will find you one by one." Alena vowed to do Chen Nuo. In the first grade, she and Lily had a very good relationship, and now they are even better.
Feel the sadness of this friend.
"Let's have a good time together at this winter party." Everyone said.
————————
In two weeks, the winter festival party is about to begin.
Frozen green branches and leaves are hung in the streets and classroom corridors throughout the college. The dark green branches and leaves are woven into rings, and there are some bright red berries in the middle. There are also different kinds of paper flowers tied in some important places, making it look lively and lively.
Warm. This year's 'Crown of Melody' seems to be particularly good at decoration.
One by one, Emenas students walked on the snow-covered road. Some of them talked about recent interesting stories, and some talked about a certain star student and teacher.
"Who will be the champion this year? I heard that a girl from the Eastern Continent came to Tower Academy. She is very powerful. She reached Sequence 6 in the third grade."
"There's no need to guess. I guess it's Bu Mansha from the Walled City Academy. That girl's swordsmanship and strength have reached a state of return to nature."
"Ever since she easily defeated Darcy that year, no one in the school can challenge her status. This 'Separating Blade' is a living legend."
"Are you talking about the seven legendary figures? Didn't they all come from a few years ago? They should all have graduated." A student asked doubtfully. He had heard this name for several years.
"No, Bu Mansha won the championship for the first time in the second grade, and now she is in the fifth grade." One student specifically pointed out.
"Winning the championship in the second grade is really impressive."
"Of the great legends from back then, only two are still in school. One is Bu Mansha, and the other is Aloy, the genius who can transform into a dragon from rocks."
"There seemed to be a lot of geniuses in that class, and there were quite a few of them."
"Well, but the most mysterious thing is the president of the 'Black Water Lily' society. It is said that she single-handedly quelled the civil strife in the Walled City Academy." As time goes by, some legends become more and more bizarre.
stand up.
"Ah, why haven't I heard of it?" a third-grade student asked curiously.
"This, let me tell you slowly after listening to it." A senior from Chengzhai College said quite proudly. He also heard it from the mouth of a graduating senior.
"It is said that she is a girl with black hair and red eyes. She..." Several people walked towards the restaurant as they talked.
Three days later, the competition scene before the party.
"Then, I would like to invite Mitchell, a fifth-grade student from Qiaodun College, to appear." The host announced loudly, and as his words fell, bursts of cheers and cheers came from the surrounding audience.
"He will face off against the fifth grader from Walled City College, Luo Lan." This is a name that many students are unfamiliar with.
In the central school building, giant wooden piles surround the stage in the middle of the empty land, with a trapezoidal auditorium above, and students are cheering and shouting.
On the central high platform like a cake, two figures gradually stepped up from the stairs on both sides. One of them was wearing a bright red winter skirt, which was particularly charming in the world where the winter snow was flying.
For a time, people were shouting and shouting like thunder.
