Chapter 1561: Chapter 1237: Departure
The week-long student exchange has officially concluded.
Although there were many twists, turns, and even confrontations, and the final combat drill ended with some "unexpected events," within this short week, the talents of the two countries mutually acknowledged each otherâs strength.
At the final banquet, on the verge of parting, the students on both sides no longer opposed each other as they did in the beginning. Instead, they had become friends, forming deep friendships with their "opponents" over the week.
Some of the boys even drank too much and ended up sleeping overnight in the other sideâs dormitory.
Many of the girls from both sides slept together, chatting excitedly all night...
The next day, at the gates of Saint Paul City.
The students from the four academies escorted the people of Great Flame all the way here.
"Qing Ning and Ziyan, after graduation, you must come to Haipeilo! Itâs our familyâs territory, with a vast ocean, rare and exotic beasts, and magical secret realms like the undersea world!" Kalina said, handing two beautifully decorated wooden boxes to the two of them. "These are gifts I prepared for you... I had my family send them overnight~"
"Gifts?"
The two took the wooden boxes and opened them. Along with a rich water element, inside were beautiful stones, crystal clear and rippling with water light.
"So beautiful!" Zhao Ziyanâs eyes lit up with delight. "Thank you, Kalina!"
Zhao Qingningâs gaze focused slightly: "This stone has a very rich water element."
Kalina laughed: "This is the Clear Water Stone from the undersea secret realm. It can store star power, reduce about ten percent of the star power consumption when using a skill, and in critical moments, you can trigger the Clear Water within to quickly replenish your star power~"
"About ten percent star power reduction? And it can replenish star power?" Zhao Qingning promptly pushed the wooden box back, shaking her head. "Kalina, such treasures must be quite valuable, even considered rare items in Great Flame! We didnât prepare any gifts on this trip, so we canât accept these two Clear Water Stones."
"Hmm... It is somewhat precious." Zhao Ziyan, seeing her sisterâs stance, although reluctant, still wisely returned the Clear Water Stone.
Kalina crossed her arms and snorted lightly: "Thatâs not okay. No one has ever returned a gift Iâve given. You are disrespecting me!
Moreover, these mere two Clear Water Stones, my family has plenty~ You two quickly accept them for me!"
"This..." Zhao Ziyan looked at her sister and whispered, "Sister, maybe we should just accept them?"
After a brief contemplation, Zhao Qingning slightly bowed her head and took off the Frost Flower hairpin she was wearing: "Kalina, Iâll give you this as a gift from us sisters in return."
Zhao Ziyanâs face showed some surprise: "Sister, this hairpin..."
Zhao Qingning interrupted her: "This was a gift from our father on my eighteenth birthday. When thrown, it can create ice crystals and freeze an area. Although it doesnât have much offensive power, it can barely trap Radiant Moon Level opponents for a few minutes."
Kalina took the hairpin and lightly sniffed it near her nose, smiling: "Indeed, there is a bit of Qing Ningâs fragrance on it~"
Zhao Qingning blushed slightly at this.
"I will definitely keep it well!" Kalina smiled, immediately pinning the hairpin on her head. "Itâs a deal, after graduation, you must come visit my home~"
"Hmm."
"No problem!"
...
On the other side.
Zhou Lingyun looked at Nikola in front of him and said: "Yesterdayâs camp battle, it was with Zhao Qingningâs help that I could defeat you. Next time, if thereâs a chance, letâs battle again."
Nikola smiled: "The talents of Great Flame are even more numerous than expected. Iâm already planning to apply for early graduation to travel south. Once my journey concludes, my final stop will be to find you."
Zhou Lingyunâs eyes lit up, and he nodded: "Great! Iâll be waiting for you!"
...
The Zhao Family Sisters, Zhou Lingyun, Wen Long, Yang Heng... many talents from the two countries were bidding farewell to each other.
And not far away, someone also came to send Su Yuan off.
Raymond said casually: "The old man is still busy reshaping his two bodies, so he didnât come over. He asked me to see you off on behalf of the Royal Envoy Su."
Su Yuan shook his head and smiled: "No worries."
Nothing is more solid than a Soul Contract, that is Laelâs attitude, these formalities are irrelevant.
"The old man also asked me to give a message to the Royal Envoy. If Royal Envoy Su has any needs, you can directly find him at the abandoned church in the north of the city."
Su Yuanâs eyes moved slightly, it wasnât hard to see that compared to supporting Great Flame, the Five Great Families seemed to support him more.
However, this doesnât make much difference; in fact, it is even better for him.
"Okay, I appreciate Lord Laelâs efforts."
Su Yuan nodded with a smile, then turned, looking at the noble, graceful, and voluptuous woman with a violet hair ornament beside Raymond.
"This is... presumably the âDestiny Witch,â the head of the Dilans Family, Nephthys?"
Nephthys slightly bowed: "Su Yuan Royal Envoy, itâs an honor to meet you."
Su Yuan immediately returned the gesture, saying: "Thanks to your words, I was able to convince Lord Lael this time."
Nephthys shook her head with a smile: "I just played a minor role in laying some groundwork... In fact, I only decided to support the alliance recently."
Nephthysâs eyes fell on Su Yuan, and she said slowly: "Not long ago, I felt your âDestiny Weightâ increase significantly...
Given the timing, you not only had a great influence on the Southern Continent, but you also probably mastered âincredibleâ means~"
