Chapter 132: Abnormalities in the night
“Master Fanny and Bryan, what are the two of you doing?” Lisa called out from behind them, looking at both of them suspiciously.
“No, nothing.” Fanny glared at Han Shuo and pointed her finger in the direction of her lab, turning and walking inside afterwards.
When she reached out her hand, the space ring that Han Shuo had given her was displayed very prominently on her hand. Han Shuo was filled with joy after taking only one glance at it. He knew that Fanny had already accepted the ring. She was pointing in the direction to the lab, obviously telling him to wait for her there.
He hadn’t planned on lingering anyways, and he smiled foolishly as he nodded at Fanny. He then left on his own accord and walked to her lab.
After waiting there for a while, Fanny returned to the lab after ending her class in the training field. She opened the door to let Han Shuo in and asked him with her usual expression, “Alright, what do you want?”
Although Fanny was acting normally, both of them knew that their relationship had undergone a subtle shift. It was basically impossible for Fanny to maintain the dignity of a teacher in front of Han Shuo now.
Grinning cheekily at Fanny, Han Shuo smirked, “Don’t be so serious!”
Rolling her eyes bad temperedly at Han Shuo, Fanny said, “I need to be serious towards you; otherwise you shine so radiantly if I give you the slightest bit of warmth and your hands and feet become naughty.”
How were these ambiguous tones those of a teacher to a student? It was practically a flirtatious byplay between lovers. Han Shuo still felt content at heart even when Fanny was glaring at him.
Although he was delighted, Han Shuo’s willpower had gone through much tempering and he wasn’t someone who didn’t know what was truly important. He stilled for a moment, then started asking Fanny about all the difficulties in magical theory he’d run into lately.
When she saw that Han Shuo was raising questions, Fanny also turned solemn as she regained her attitude as a teacher. She carefully explained all the theories in detail out all the theories for Han Shuo. When she saw how hardworking Han Shuo was, and that he could even use the journeyman magic of Bone Prison now, Fanny was happier than even Han Shuo.
She sighed after a while, “With your abilities, it looks like you’ll be able to progress to adept mage before too long. I have to think for a moment before answering the questions you’re asking now, and can’t just answer off the cuff like I did before. It looks like I’ll be unable to teach you before long.”
A good student would impart onto the teacher an incomparable sense of achievement. But because Han Shuo had truly progressed too quickly, this gave Fanny some pressure. She was only an adept mage after all, and was only one level higher than Han Shuo now according to the divisions of power and levels.
Han Shuo’s rate of improvement was beyond her imagination. If things progressed at the current is rate, Fanny would make a weaker and weaker impact on Han Shuo. This made it difficult for Fanny to bear when this feeling permeated her heart, but she was still rather resigned to it.
“Heh heh, no matter what, you’re always going to be the Master Fanny who brought me in and set me on the right path. Hehe, even if our relationship changes in the future, your identity as my teacher will never change.” Han Shuo’s brain was working quite fast at the moment, and he could more or less guess her current thoughts based on the changes in her expression. He immediately spoke to her with a smile.
Shaking her head with a slight sigh, Fanny’s beautiful brows immediately creased and she spoke in a worried tone. “Our Babylon Academy only has Gene and I as the two teachers in the necromancy major. We’re only adept mages. When you learn all of our knowledge and have no one to teach you then, your rate of improvement will surely face obstacles. I’m most worried about this!”
“You’re thinking too much. When that day truly arrives, there may even be an even better way to resolve things. You don’t need to worry that much at this time.” Han Shuo could clearly feel Fanny’s concern for him. However, with the existence of the cemetery of death, Han Shuo believed that as his strength improved, he’d be able to make it into the further depths of the cemetery of death. He could vaguely feel that the inner depths of the cemetery of death would have ways to help him become even stronger.
Fanny seemed to think things through with Han Shuo’s speech and she nodded with a smile. “Perhaps you’re right, I am indeed thinking too much. Alright, it’s getting late. Go practice magic if you have nothing else. I’m going to go get dinner as well.”
“How about if we go to dinner together?” Han Shuo’s heart lurched as he offered this naughty suggestion.
“Humph. Dream on. I will have nothing to do with you before you become an adept mage. Mm, hurry and leave now. You’re never up to any good if you stay here.” Fanny smiled and waved a magic staff in her hand, trying to get Han Shuo to leave.
Han Shuo was in no rush either as he yelped accordingly and backed up towards the door. Just as he was about to be swept out of the lab, he suddenly moved like a flash of lightning and kissed Fanny, laughing merrily as he made his escape amidst Fanny’s embarrassment.
“Darned kid, I’ll get you one day!” Fanny said huffily as she slammed the lab door closed with an audible clang.
At this moment, something registered in Han Shuo’s mind as he suddenly heard a low panting sound. Three original demons suddenly flew out without a sound and floated towards the origin of the sound.
Earth rider Clark was hiding by a fence post in the distance, his originally handsome features distorted by anger. He was staring at Han Shuo with a look of hatred, and Han Shuo was quite familiar with that kind of look. That was how Fitch had been looking at him before he’d taken his revenge.
His heart chilled, Han Shuo suddenly felt that this was a bit tricky. Clark was an earth rider, and Han Shuo had witnessed the might of his strength before. Although Han Shuo’s strength had taken great leaps forward, he was well aware of his limits and knew that he absolutely couldn’t take Clark on alone. It was a bit difficult to be hated by such a character.
