Chapter 147 The Lily and The Rose (1/2)

Raghnall groaned in annoyance.

Heavens! He actually almost forgot about that!

He coughed awkwardly when Inna sent him a worried look.

”It's nothing to worry about. I told you, I always had someone to help me get away with it.”

He whispered to her in comfort as he gently pried his hand away from hers.

The gesture made Ulima widen his eyes in surprise as he looked between the both of them.

Are they…?

The Lily and the Rose, huh.

Miracles really do happen.

Ulima mused as he inwardly smiled.

Then, guess this crazy lunatic might survive longer than the previous ones that used to live in this dorm.

Meanwhile, Inna scrunched up her eyebrows as she faced Raghnall.

From his phrase alone, she no longer believed Raghnall's 'commoner' ruse. But although she's hella curious as heck, she knew that there's no use asking him because he'll most likely just avoid the question.

So, she just accepted the fact that he must be someone who has quite an influence backing him up. And she made a mental note to try and ask Solomon about him one day.

Inna sighed as she looked at him, a small tinge of worry found deep within her eyes.

”Are you sure you'll be okay? You're going up against two of the most annoying old fossils, y'know.”

Raghnall snorted as he slowly walked away from her bed.

”Hah! They're no match against my abilities. After all, you're talking to a Genius here.”

This time, it was Ulima who snorted as he rolled his eyes.

”Only a foolish young man would claim that two Elders at Veteran ranks are no match against him.”

Raghnall smirked as he patted Ulima's shoulder.

”If that is so, then what would you call a man who was outsmarted by that same foolish young man?”

Ulima opened his mouth to retort but he held himself back when he realized what Raghnall was implying. Although he wanted to defend the fact that 'he' was not, in any way, outsmarted by that boy, he knew it would be pathetic to do so. So, he simply straightened up and changed the topic.

”Please refrain from touching me inappropriately. I am still part of the faculty in this academy so please do treat me with authority in my own assigned dorm.”

Ulima humphed as he tried to preserve whatever face he had left.

Just as Raghnall was about to leave the door, he made a sound of surprise as he swiftly turned around.

”Ah! I almost forgot. Where's Favian?”

And coincidentally, a voice answered at a distance behind him.

”I'm here. Just woke up from my nap.”

Raghnall turned to see a sleepy looking Favian leaning by the walls of the hallway.

”Hey, can you--”

Just from the few words, Favian's sleepy face immediately darkened.

Raghnall chuckled at the action.

”Come on, Favian. It's nothing dangerous this time.”

Favian narrowed his eyes in suspicion.

Raghnall walked over to his dear friend and patted his shoulder gently.

”I just need you to help her go to her next classes after she feels a bit better. And help get her an excuse for being tardy in her Spell Casting subject. That's all.”

Favian looked at him weirdly.

”You memorized her schedule?”

Raghnall just chuckled in reply.

”Come on, this will be the last favor. I promise. And don't worry, I'll send you a giant stuffed toy as a gift later.”
