Adams walked through the courtyard of the Wise Men's House, and soon at the end he saw a familiar figure.

Sister Teresa, who had agreed to welcome him, was already waiting in the main building of the Sage's Courtyard.

"Adam, please come with me. Mr. Lynch is already in the conference room."

Mother Teresa spoke in her characteristic gentle voice.

Before Dean Loren went on a business trip, he entrusted the matters related to the academic exchange team from the Alora Kingdom to Ms. Theresa, who was usually less busy and very reliable.

Teresa had met Lance a few times since the entrance exams, and Lance only paid attention to her Magical Species Compendium class.

Although Lauren was hesitant, she thought Sister Teresa was the best choice.

I can only hope that she can hold onto Ranch a little bit.

"Thank you, Teacher Teresa."

Adams bowed politely to the friendly Teresa and followed her.

Since coming to the Ithaca Academy, he found that the students of the Wise Men's Hall were of very high caliber.

When he proposed a competition, the third-year powerhouses not only didn't feel like competing, they all chose to step aside, making Adams a little embarrassed.

However, everyone didn't want to let him come for nothing. Understanding what kind of opponent Adams wanted, they revealed "Lanche" to him.

Due to his chivalrous nature, Adams did not specifically investigate his opponent's information at the Icteria Academy before the contest. He only gleaned some basic information about Lance from a senior student of the Wisemen's Hall.

But from Dean Lore's strong opposition, that freshman named Lance must be the hidden trump card of the Sage Institute.

It goes without saying.

A few minutes later.

Adam followed Sister Teresa to a heavy wooden door at the top of the Sage's Hall.

This is the large meeting room where the Sage Institute teachers usually hold meetings, but today it's empty.

We arrived.

Mother Teresa smiled and pushed the door open.

Upon entering, Puzzle's eyes fell upon a spacious room dominated by white. It resembled a combination of an office and a reception area. Bright yet gentle light created a harmonious atmosphere. A dozen round tables or more encircled the central circular magical screen.

By a random spot beside the conference room, there was a figure seated on a chair next to the round table. He had his back to the table, seemingly admiring the campus scenery outside the floor-to-ceiling windows.

Even though he was just sitting there simply, Adams could tell at once.

That person was the center of the entire meeting room, and also the legendary secret weapon cultivated by Dean Lauren—Ranch Wilfort.

The young man on the seat quickly turned his chair upon Adam's arrival, a sign of respect and courtesy to guests.

"Adams, you're here!"

Lancy noodles smiled gracefully as she sat in the chair, her hand gently stroking a black kitten.

This feeling of warmth and spring sunshine made Adam, who was standing at the doorway, pause for a moment.

He had never imagined that his opponent would be such an innocent and pure young boy. Even when facing his opponent, he didn't feel a hint of hostility.

This innocent feeling made Adams involuntarily think of their talented card-making junior sister, Karen.

If Lance was also this kind of late bloomer, Adams would be a little unsure how to assert himself toward Lance.

"You two discuss the content of the debate, and we will serve as your judges."

Mother Teresa led Adams to the round table in front of the ranch, and then sat down at the other side.

Although it is not yet the official meeting time for the Academy of Sages, many faculty and upperclassmen from the Icterean Institute who will be providing witness and technical support for this competition are already present in the conference room.

...than expected.

Perhaps these people are all here for the excitement.

Theresa observed Lance for a moment.

She had felt it since this morning, Ranch seemed a little different from usual today, but she couldn't quite put her finger on what was different.

That's right.

Mother Teresa suddenly remembered.

During this time, Huberlian classmate took leave, and Lance became a lone wolf for once.

Of course, Lance also had a little black cat with him, sometimes sitting in his hand, sometimes perched on his shoulder, and sometimes curled up on his head.

Because this little black cat is so lively and adorable, many curious girls from the Wise Men's Academy want to pet it.

Although people could see the cat on Ranch, they still chose to stay away.

According to Teresa's understanding, although many girls at the Academy were interested in Ranchi when he first arrived due to his appearance, demeanor, and talent, no one ever dared to approach him.

It's not that Ranch is unpopular at school now.

But he could only look on from afar and not touch.

Even if someone is deeply infatuated, even a lovestruck student would generally not consider their principal as a romantic prospect when they are being rational.

But now, something about this ranch just doesn't feel right...

"Wait, Huberlian isn't here…"

Mother Teresa's face turned pale immediately.

With the only sane person around Lan Qi gone, that lack of reference and external conscience might just let him run wild and do whatever he pleases!

Realizing the gravity of the situation, Teresa hastily turned her head away. Though shameful, she feared being implicated as well.

"Adam, welcome to the Icerite Academy."

Lance stood up and extended his hand to Adams, his voice steady.

Thank you for your warm hospitality.

Adams also shook hands seriously with Lance.

He had a very good first impression of Lanchi. He couldn't see any arrogance of a genius on Lanchi, only humility and approachability.

The only thing a little strange was that Lance's bearing and demeanor didn't quite seem like that of a student. Adamss inexplicably felt like he was facing the headmaster representing the academy in an exchange program.

“I am very happy to receive your invitation, but I also need to explain beforehand that this is a friendship first exchange. I won't treat you as an enemy and do anything unscrupulous for victory.”

Rance earnestly told Adams.

"…"

Adam paused for a moment.

He understood Lance's meaning.

Although he had to admit that Lance was a proper and measured man, if neither party gave their all, it would go against his original intention of proposing this contest.

I want to turn the tables on Lady Juliana.

"I think we need to raise the stakes to make this competition more exciting, rather than so boring."

Adams suggested.

He believes the audience at the school wouldn't want to see a bland and uneventful match with no spark from either side.

For example

Rance's face was a mixture of discomfort and respect, but out of deference to Adamas he asked.

If I win, can I make Dean Loren go to the Kingdom of Avalor and have Sir Julianna apologize in person

Adam got straight to the point.

Regardless of whether the other party agrees or not, he first puts forward the biggest goal.

If the other party can't do it, we can gradually make concessions later.

Just when Adam thought there was no way Lance would agree to such a ridiculous proposal.

"Alright, I'll speak for Lauren."

Lance stood with his hands behind his back, looking very much the headmaster. He nodded in approval.

The entire conference room buzzed with excitement.

Especially those students who are here to watch the excitement, they love watching Lan Chi's performance!
