FiveLan finished his piece

”I' Lan put down his pencil, pleased with himself, and appreciated his oork

The Zong Yu in his portrait had a rounded body, a rounded face, with a large smile plastered on his face, almost like a cartoon character from a kid's channel

He turned his head to look at his other groupat Su Li Wan's chest with rapt attention, sketching as he looked on

”Morris, you naughty boy!” Feng Ping Lan hit Morris' head hard

”What is it, are you cracked in the head?!” Morris was perplexed, turning around to reprimand him

Feng Ping Lan looked at Morris' drawing Only the neck and left breast were featured on it, with a cell phone peeking out of the left breast-pocket The cat dust plug at the top had been drawn into great detail by aard pencil marks on the paper

The emphasis wasn't on the human, nor was it on her chest, but the cell phone accessory in front of it

”Why did you draw it like this?”

”You said yourself that we could just draw the best features!”

Igor had finished an incredibly norh school student's The person Su Li Wan had draas very raceful air and a feel of a shoujo a

Zong Yu still had his head lowered, obsessed in his own drawing

”How are you doing?” Feng Ping Lan moved closer to take a look

In Zong Yu's drawing, Feng Ping Lan was fully naked, both hands spread out like a specimen, his intestines exposed and stoans, veins of his flesh, and the depth of the bloodstains were alland brushere all ni incredibly vivid and lifelike

It was the realis and creepy

”Wow, this…” Feng Ping Lan widened his eyes, looking incredibly surprised

”Xixixi…” Zong Yu observed Feng Ping Lan's reaction and sniggered, proud of himself

Morris saw that drawing, letting out a disgusted growl

This guy was sick in the head…

He didn't like him

Just as Zong Yu joyfully awaited the tongue-lashi+ng, the belittlement, and the words filled with terror, a praise of a Lan's mouth

”So cool! You're so good at drawing! You're just too a! You're probably better than any artist out there!” Feng Ping Lan looked at the drawing excitedly, ”It's so realistic! So this is what ans look like! They're so evenly-distributed!”

Zong Yu froze, his s Lan

He thought that the other boy was being sarcastic, but, there was just simple appreciation and novelty written as clear as paper on his face

This kind of reaction was too foreign to hi with his drawing

Really… not fun at all…

The hand that gripped the pencil paused for aLan

But, this was the first time he had been praised…

”Ahah, can you change it a bit?” Feng Ping Lan pointed at the drawing, ”Over here, can you enlarge the muscles here? Make me more muscular”

Zong Yu hesitated for a second, then picked up his pencil He muttered unhappily, yet his hand obediently amended it

He didn't understand why he was doing it, probably because he couldn't find an appropriate reason to say no

”Yesyesyes! Nice!” Feng Ping Lan continued to instruct, ”And then and then, I want this part over here bigger, that's right, ht that's right! So cool! I look like an American man! Hahahahahahaha! Morris, look! I win! Humph humph humph!”

”Why the fuck are you co!”

”Hey, can you helpelse?”

Zong Yu paused a few seconds, ”What do you want me to draw…”

Feng Ping Lan lowered his head, whispering a feords by Zong Yu's ear Zong Yu frowned slightly after hearing it, but still reluctantly nodded

”Thanks! Awesome! Hahahahaha!”

Zong Yu stared at Feng Ping Lan's excited face, , ”…Freak”

Byriel and Bai Li Rui could only sketch each other due to the departure of their other two groupa circle on the paper, adding the basic features and a few lines of hair before calling it a day

Bai Li Rui drew seriously in comparison, and the Byriel that he sketched was as realistic as the actual one, with handsome features and a demonic smile on his face

”Hey, I didn't think that you were quite good at it after all” Byriel praised with a faint smile

”The person I used to like loved drawing, so I learned it for a while I was going to draw her a portrait as a birthday present, but she got taken before I could finish it” Bai Li Rui said absent-mindedly

”Is your only purpose in life chasing after women?” Byriel was curious, ”To be honest, are you actually being serious? Do you really think that those cluht of using more realistic methods?”

”…If I cheated at it, I would already be ly, ”But there's no fun in doing that”

Byriel was curious, and just as he was about question further, Feng Ping Lan ran over joyfully with a piece of drawing in his hands, cutting the conversation short

”Li Rui Li Rui! Look at this!”

Feng Ping Lan placed the drawing before Bai Li Rui, a hand covering the upper half of the paper, exposing about two-thirds of the picture The drawing showcased an exquisite and delicate body, long hair spread over the shoulders in an alluring curve and wore a pair of thin sear that exposed a wide stretch of skin

”Look! Large breasts! Hahahahaha!”

Bai Li Rui's eyes sparkled, ”This is really a ? I only want to know the latter”

”Zong Yu was the one who drew it” Feng Ping Lan said happily, ”And! The most marvelous part is! Look at this!”

He re the person's face

”It looks a little familiar” Bai Li Rui scrutinized it carefully ”Like I've seen this face somewhere before…”

”Oh, yeah” Feng Ping Lan admitted truthfully, ”That's my face”

Bai Li Rui tre back onto the table as if he had touched so dirty

”What are you doing! I alh…” Bai Li Rui shook his head, al the memories out of his head

”I didn't knohose face to draw, and it's probably be reported as sexual harassment if I use our female classmates, so I told hi Yu is really a!”

Zong Yu as cleaning up on the other side of the roo Lan once,with his movements

Conglong drew his piece with full concentration, finishi+ng just aThefor him to finish in his seat

Conglong looked his finished work in satisfaction, nodding his head continuously The male student walked behind the easel to take a look, full of anticipation, curious on how he had been drawn But as he saw the drawing, his look of anticipation instantly fell off

”What is this…”

There was a train in the sketch, where every compartment of the train had been drawn in perfect detail But the front of the train had his face with a weird smile fixed on it

”I wanted to draw a train, but I couldn't not draw you So I fused the two of you together” Conglong said, looking very pleased with himself, ”I've seen this kind of human-faced trains on the TV I don't kno that kind of train operates, but it really fits my needs for this class!”

”Hu about 'Tho his head and leaving sadly

The bell rang, and the students stood up one after another to return to their classroom

Ge a book She reistration book, you can only leave after signing your name”

The students obeyed, leaving their names on that thin book

Conglong and the others hadn't originally planned on doing so as well, but Geht next to the exit They could only cooperate, signing their names on it

As the dark ink left theirsmile curled up Gemi's lips

The noise of chatter and lessons replaced the sound of the school bell throughout the entire school building As for the sickbay in the distance, it was still from start to finish

Almost noon, in the corner of the administrative area of the sickbay, an office with no name indicated on it

The office was enosis bed in it A radio was placed on the bed

The shadow by theh there was no wind The muddled shadow by the door flowed like dense black water down the floor to accue shadow, then rose up to transforure

Quetzal turned to face out theThe afternoon sun pointed its rays directly onto the ground, and the shadows in the school compound shrunk back, its movements restricted, so he had retreated to the sick bay to rest

He had arrived to the school coate, and he had also co, as if the attack he had received the night before had been just a dream

Quetzal turned the radio on, sitting down as theout

He could feel that the shadows present a the school weren't simple, and had been protected behind a powerful spell barrier, but the spell's fluctuations were incredibly subtle and faint He had tried to force the spell that was hidden under it to reveal itself, but that had been to no avail, as pointless as hitting water

He didn't knoho had set up the barrier, what the purpose of putting up the barrier was, but he was certain that this had nothing to do with the Royal Clan's soldiers in the underworld There were traces of a human's spell on the wards, and the royalty treated Summoners as their enemies

This caused his constant guard to lower, just by a bit

The musical composition turned resentful

Quetzal closed his eyes He had heard this song before, a few hundred years ago, when he had come to the human world with Prince Shuekan to explore He had heard it in a concert hall in the Western Continent

Prince Shuekan had been really interested in huht that music was the best piece of evidence that testified the fact that God loved the humans above all

There was also music in the underworld, but it wasn't used for appreciation, but as a weapon Just like Si tone that intoxicated people, but it was used to bewitch her enemies, a weapon to destroy

He hadn't been very interested in music, but he had always accompanied the prince to sneak into the human world just to see the humans' performances

He didn't knohen it had started, but he had developed an interest and yearning for thesewas caused by Prince Shuekan, or because of himself

Quetzal placed a hand on his chest subconsciously, the place where Prince Shuekan had left his mark He could feel the little fluctuations of the prince's existence coh it This little fluctuation comforted him

His Highness…

There was another fluctuation co from his palm, a powerful fluctuation with a distinct existence Quetzal opened his eyes, glancing at his right hand

The contract they had ht before flashed with the mark that only he could see

Quetzal couldn't help but frown

Feng Ping Lan…

This human had made a contract with no conditions attached It was in reality like a protective charm that allowed him to exist in this world, and let him hide from a Summoner's attacks and pursuit

It was just a har, but as he looked at the mark, he subconsciously had a bout of jitteriness

He hated hu Lan

He couldn't accept Feng Ping Lan, but still refused to agree blindly with himself

This caused hiitation

damn human…

Knock knock knock

A knock sounded froht

He i at the door suspiciously, two blade-shaped shadows eround to attach to both hands in the shadows The swords hidden in the shadows could be pulled out at any time to attack

It was silent outside for a h The door opened into the roo face peeked in

”Doctor, sorry for interrupting you during your break” The wo delicately, ”I am the art teacher, Gemi I just attended two periods and felt a little under the weather, so I came here I hope you can help with my problem, Doctor”

It was a female teacher who felt unwell But…

”There is an Evasion and a Conceal to go in circles with her

There was a spell that would expel anyone that cahtaway, avoiding this place on reflex, so there would definitely be no intruders here, even more so no sick patients that would visit this place

”Aiyaya, you're really no fun At least play along with ly, ”You should askanywhere? Are there any proble, is that—”

She walked slowly towards Quetzal's desk, her char at Quetzal

”—Since as there a demon staffed as the doctor at our school?”

As the words came down, the two sharp blades swept across violently towards the wo towards her neck, so rapid that it couldn't be detected where it had come from

The swords halted on both sides of Gemi's neck

”Aiya aiya, how frightening” She patted the arh she said this, there wasn't a trace of fear on her face, a char smile plastered on her face

”Even if I hadn't stopped, your co” Quetzal lowered his sword, speaking haughtily

”You've been discovered, Seno” Gemi said snappily, ”Probably because of that stink on your body!”

A figure leaped in from Quetzal's
