A month has passed quietly. (Due to caching reasons, please users directly browse the website through the browser to view the fastest chapter updates.)

The campus of Icteria was blanketed in a thin layer of frost on that winter morning. Bare branches shivered in the biting wind, and the botanical garden exuded a refreshing chill.

Vast swathes of dark clouds drifted across the sky, with only a few wisps of blue peeking through the gaps in the cloud cover.

Students bundled in thick coats, holding steaming cups of coffee or tea, rushed past. Their breath formed little white puffs in the cold air.

“Take a short break.”

Huberley emerged from the Wise Master's Tower with a faint smile on her face.

I have finished the final exam for the last course of this semester, and winter break has begun.

As soon as she stepped out, she saw Talia waiting for her on a bench in the distance.

Taliya rubbed her hands together intermittently, then took a deep breath of the cold air, savoring that distinct clarity brought by winter.

There were still two boxes of packed pastries on the wooden bench beside her, as if she hadn't been able to resist eating both portions herself if it weren't for waiting for Huberlia.

Looking at Talya's restless and strained posture from afar, Huberlian let out a smile.

She really wanted to take all the Duke's money and feed Tarta, so she could eat her fill every day and sleep soundly and live happily.

Now Huberlyan is living with Talia, and Talia has not asked her to leave. She continues to teach her magic day after day.

So, even after the agreed-upon two-week protection period, they still lived together tacitly. They continued their daily routine of good morning and good night greetings without any change.

But soon Huberlian would be leaving for the Northern Continent, so she and Tata would be apart for a long time.

The tasks that Lance had planned for beforehand are finally ready to be put into action.

After she and Lance finish their assignment report procedures with Dean Loren, if they can't return on time before the next semester begins, they can still apply for an extension.

For the next three and a half months of winter break, there was no graduation project called "Seeking the Slate Holders" at the Knight's Academy where Frey resided. Frey couldn't get additional holiday permissions outside of winter break, and the headmaster of the Knight's Academy, Sphinto, didn't allow Frey to run around. He demanded that Frey honestly stay in the Knight's Academy for training during his vacation. The vacationing Headmaster Sphinto would personally guide him, so Lance and Huberlian could only bid farewell to Frey for now.

However, if we parted for several months, according to Frey's monstrous talent, he would probably become much stronger.

Hueberley thought, and ran to Talia's side.

"Tata, I'm on vacation!"

"Hmm."

Talya stood up, took Huberlian's hand, and started walking toward the Cat Boss restaurant on the east side of school.

Why doesn't Ranch have to take a test

Taking a few steps in the cold schoolyard of winter, Talia seemed somewhat perplexed. She still voiced her doubts aloud.

He... deals with all sorts of campus disputes all day, his credits are quite sufficient... and he even made a fortune...

Huperlyan shook her head, a sigh accompanying a wisp of white vapor.

Lanche dropped all his exams this semester except for "Introduction to Magical Theory".

With the credits earned from both the fourth and fifth-tier shadow worlds, plus the bonus credits awarded for handling student council affairs at a high intensity, Lance's total credits were more than enough to offset his required courses, even with some left over.

After the "Feast of Heretics" event in the Shadow World, Hyberlian and Lance both ascended to registered Silver-grade Challengers of the South Continent Shadow World Management Association. They also received a hefty reward of 4,500 for killing the Destructive Saintess.

Huperlian still didn't want to offer a bounty, so Lanche and Freeping split it.

It's all mine.

Talya said naturally.

Lynch still owes her a huge sum of money. Until it's repaid, Lynch's assets are hers in her eyes.

"Oh, right. There's about half a year left and then he'll have to pay you over eight thousand pounds according to the contract."

Hupley had heard that Lanche owed Tatta a lot of money, and she also knew that there was some kind of strange history between Lanche and Tatta before she met Tatta.

It's hard to imagine how these two people with completely opposite personalities could get along so well, other than Lance getting on Tatta's nerves and being punished by her at the drop of a hat.

"Lanche still needs to work hard."

Huperly sighed.

Some people may appear to be millionaires on the surface, but in reality, they are deeply in debt.

However, Ranch is now a man with a clearly defined worth.

Though Huberlian didn't know her bounty level in the Resurrecting Church, she knew that the branch of the clergy who had publicly announced the news on the Southern Continent was now known.

A bounty of 10,000 has been placed on Ranch for destroying the Bishop branch.

...while the corrupt bishop offered 16,000 for a living ranch.

The Dimensional Bishop also stated that if Lynch could kill the Destructive Son and satisfy his compulsion, he would donate 20,000 to Ectereus Academy as a charitable fund.

According to news reports, a while back, the Destroyer Bishop fought against the Dimensional Bishop. The Dimensional Bishop is now half-dead and desperately fleeing for his life.

"Now that both of you are on vacation, the Headmaster of the Sage's Institute can finally relax for a while, right"

Tallia said.

She actually hadn't initially thought that there would be a Stone Holder living in this city and willing to work at the school. She had last seen Lauren on the podium at the academic exchange visit closing ceremony - team fighting tournament held at the Icteris Academy.

Even from a great distance, she could sense the man's terrible aura.

Why is it that, when it comes to the Headmaster of Huberly Academy, Lanchi always manages to get under his skin

Tallia didn't understand. If it were her, she would have corrected Lance with some forceful means long ago.

「……」

Huperlian choked with sobs.

That day's match was between Ekkeler Institute and Arolon Royal Academy, ending with a score of 5-0. At that moment, she saw Lauren sitting in her chair, sobbing uncontrollably. In that instant, she thought to herself that if there was another chance, she absolutely had to stop Lance.

Lady Juliana the Knight is coming.

Nearly half of the academic visiting team from Royal College of Alolan have been unable to return.

Especially the last five fighters, not only do their physical injuries need months of treatment by Ikterus, but their psychological and spiritual wounds may take a lifetime to heal.

This might be due to the Phoenix's capture, the destruction of the Bishop and the Dimensional Bishop's war triggering a chain reaction. Recently, the Resurrection Church in the Alora Kingdom has been very active. Julianna Knight Commander cannot leave her post in the Alora Kingdom.

But she already said that once the issues with the Reborn Church are resolved on her side in Avalor, she will come to Icerite herself to meet Lorenn and have him wait for her.

After hearing the news, Senior Lu Xi'er of the Student Union excitedly popped open a bottle of champagne that day. They wouldn't have to worry about next year's newspaper performance.
