The sounds of chatting, book-flipping, and light table and chair collisions blended together to form a subtle harmony.

Although slightly noisy, this sound was comforting because it was a true reflection of the atmosphere of life.

At the back of this classroom.

Huberrian remained silent.

Conflicting emotions began to intertwine in Huberrian's heart.

Her gaze wandered between the teacher's desk and the exit, her fingers lightly pinching the pages of the book, the scales in her heart also swaying.

"Lanqi, generally speaking, challenging a Shadow World requires various advance preparations,"

Finally, Huberrian managed to calm her inner self first and said in a voice like a gentle stream,

"Of course, we also need to consider more about whether teammates are suitable."

As well as more practice to ensure that your teammate is trustworthy, and so on...

In short, leaving immediately was too abrupt and impulsive...

"Why don't we go in a few days? Please think about it carefully."

Huberrian's voice became increasingly low.

Perhaps by tomorrow, Lanqi would learn about her demon identity from Modan or others.

From then on, he would see the real her.

Then.

He could change his mind as agreed and make a better decision.

This might be a better outcome for Lanqi.

Lanqi looked at Huberrian's hesitant and gradually retreating appearance, as if he had also read her mind.

Her answer was actually -

She needed a teammate more determined than her to help make the decision.

"Huberrian, sometimes what seems like long-term planning actually leads to endless procrastination until you simply give up."

Lanqi grinned. With a plan for legal class-skipping, he no longer showed any sign of fatigue. Even his words were full of vitality,

"If we don't set out now, we'll never be able to set sail! So trust me, let's go."

Lanqi's voice was clear as he stood up and looked at Huberrian.

He seemed eager to take her on a magical journey.

At this moment.

The sky was gradually turning a light pink under the setting sun's rays, as if it were the color of dawn.

The floor-to-ceiling glass windows of the classroom were as calm as the sea surface, reflecting their figures.

Lanqi's words were like a small boat, parting the waves on her stormy heart sea, echoing constantly.

Huberrian gazed into Lanqi's clear and serious emerald eyes, her own eyes no longer able to conceal the very real excitement.

She seemed to have finally made up her mind.

Did you know this text is from a different site? Read the official version to support the creator.

"Let's go."

With a crisp and determined voice, Huberrian also stood up and quickly walked towards the classroom exit with Lanqi.

......

Due to their departure, the originally somewhat noisy classroom seemed to have a stone thrown into it, creating ripples in circles, suddenly becoming silent.

Everyone's gaze was fixed on the two students who resolutely fled just as class was about to begin, until they completely disappeared from their view.

The air of surprise and curiosity, accompanied by noisy sounds, once again surged like a tide!

The entire classroom was suddenly full of topics!

"Where did they go?"

"Skipping class for a date?"

Some students were intently gossiping, while others began to gather around, eagerly discussing with excitement shining in their faces.

Even some students who were quietly reading books put them down and joined the heated discussion circles.

"I just heard they wanted to go challenge a Shadow World..."

Until a student recalled in disbelief.

This made the surrounding area much quieter.

Attracting quite a few stares.

"No way? Going to challenge a Shadow World on the first day of school? You must have heard wrong, they must be using it as an excuse to go on a date."

"It's absolutely true, they did say they were going to challenge a Shadow World."

"Just the two of them?"

"Just the two of them."

"Huh???"

In an instant, the atmosphere in the classroom became tense.

All eyes focused on the students who were confirming the content of Lanqi and Huberrian's conversation.

Then chaotic, restless sounds immediately filled the entire classroom.

At Icerite Academy, there was almost no precedent for two freshmen teaming up to go to a real Shadow World on the first day of school!

It's worth noting that the vast majority of first-year freshmen don't even have licenses yet.

Even super freshmen who obtained iron-level challenger licenses upon enrollment often had their debut with upper-class students.

Because this is not about speed or some achievement, but a life-and-death challenge that stakes your life and soul!

"If, and I'm saying if, they really passed the third round of tests through their abilities and cooperation, without the rumored luck factor, then would their team-up really be able to handle a real second-level Shadow World without experience?"

"It's hard to say. There are very dangerous ones in second-level Shadow Worlds, and there might be relatively safe ones in third-level Shadow Worlds. It all depends on luck."

"Some Shadow Worlds correspond to timelines and historical scenarios that are inherently quite dangerous. When encountering such Shadow Worlds, even if the challenger's rank is higher than the Shadow World's rank, it often leads to large-scale casualties."

Amidst the discussions of the students, Vice Principal Roen walked into the classroom carrying a heavy ancient book.

Today's last class, "Magic Detection and Shielding," was to be taught by him as the Vice Principal.

After placing the book on the lectern, Vice Principal Roen began to survey the classroom.

He felt the atmosphere in the classroom was too lively.

These new students were like they were celebrating a festival, still unable to stop discussing some topic even at this moment.

Soon, the new students in the classroom gradually quieted down and turned their attention to the Vice Principal.

But it was at this moment that Vice Principal Roen couldn't help but show a puzzled expression.

Why did these students seem to have something they wanted to say but hesitated when looking at him?

They seemed to want to tell him something very important, but were hesitating whether it was appropriate to say it or not.

"What's going on?"

Vice Principal Roen asked, looking at the students sitting in the front row.

"...Two people went to challenge a Shadow World."

The student Roen was staring at mumbled.

Roen glanced back, and even without asking which two students, he knew the answer in his heart.

Because Lanqi and Huberrian, whom he had been paying attention to, were nowhere to be seen in this classroom.

Then, Roen pinched the bridge of his nose, his expression becoming quite complex.

Although all the students didn't know about those two's cooperation and performance in the third round of the test, he did.

If other students had run off to a real Shadow World on the first day of school, Roen would definitely be very anxious now, even needing to call an emergency meeting.

But if it was Lanqi and Huberrian, the nature of the problem changed somewhat...
