Chapter 490 Tofu Pudding, Here I Come…

It’s been more than a month since I ran away; I wonder what the current situation in the elven race is like. I wonder if Mother is worried about me. Sally walked along the street and prepared to return to Geya Hotel for her shift there. The wages being offered at the hotel were absolutely pitiful, but there was free accommodation, and the boss was a very kind person, so Sally still persisted with working two jobs a day.

Who was that elf from earlier? Did she really grow up outside the Wind Forest? They’ve always said that elves outside the Wind Forest have been abandoned by the God of Life, and that they’ve never been blessed nor acknowledged by the God of Life. All of them are supposed to be hideously ugly and pitifully weak, but I can sense that elf was no less powerful than I am, and she was quite beautiful too, so what should I believe? Sally was very confused. She hadn’t approached any other elves in the past month, and she was was quite eager to understand more about them.

Perhaps I can talk to her next time. Princess Irina had once said that the outside world was completely different from what those in the elven race proclaim it to be. Those words had made a deep impression on Sally, and she was determined to find out what this world was like for herself.

I’m going to dine at Mamy Restaurant with Luna in a bit; should I wear male attire, or female attire? In the city lord’s castle, Vivian stared at the clothes in her closet and fell into deep thought.

I’ll go in male attire. That way, Boss Mag will know that Luna’s taken, so he won’t make any moves on her. Vivian made up her mind and picked out a set of loose-fitting male attire.

“Teacher Luna, Student Amy is so awesome! Can I learn magic as well? I really want to.”

“All of you can learn magic, but you’re still too young, so you have to learn basic knowledge first. Next year, you’ll be able to participate in the magic trials, and all those who pass the trials can officially begin to learn magic,” Luna replied with a smile. She patted the disappointed little student on the head and heaved an internal resigned sigh.

Amy had defeated the powerful Magus Tower team on her own, thus elevating herself to a legendary status in Chaos School. At the same time, a large number of students became extremely interested in magic after witnessing her performance-including some elementary section kids.

She had had a similar conversation with her students no less than 10 times already. They were far more eager to learn magic than the students from previous years, and it was all thanks to Amy.

Little Amy sure is impressive, though. She’s only been learning magic for a month, and can already defeat such powerful opponents. Looks like Mr. Mag was right: she really is a genius. Luna looked out the window as a smile appeared on her face.

A letter written by her grandfather had arrived from Rodu, telling her that the decimal system was indeed more convenient and efficient than the numerical system currently in use in the Roth Empire. He was trying to start an arithmetic revolution, and was asking her to invite Mag to go to Rodu again. If Mag refused again, he would come to personally visit him in Chaos City.

Krassu and Novan left the meeting prior to its conclusion. Right after exiting the conference chamber, Krassu turned to Novan, and asked, “Novan, I heard you’re preparing to expand Chaos School?”

“I am. Chaos School is already quite a large school, but there are still so many children in Chaos City who don’t have a chance to receive education. In particular, receiving education is an opportunity for the children from impoverished families to escape poverty, but the opportunity simply isn’t available to them at the moment.” Novan nodded in response.

“How much are you planning to expand the school?” Krassu asked.

“I’m still communicating with the city lord’s castle to see how much cash they can offer, but Michael has been having a hard time these past few years as well. Constructing infrastructure for Chaos City has exhausted almost all of the financial resources available to the city lord’s castle, so he probably won’t be able to offer much.” Novan’s brows furrowed with concern, and the wrinkles on his face became even more pronounced.

“Come with me; I’ve got something to show you,” Krassu said as he led the way forward.

“What is it?” Novan asked.

“You’ll know when we get there,” Krassu replied.

“What’s this?” Novan was led into a building where the entire first floor was filled with wooden boxes. There were so many of them that there was barely any walking space left in the room.

“Open one and have a look for yourself.” Krassu chuckled.

Novan opened the wooden box nearest to him, and shiny golden light immediately escaped from within. The box was completely filled with gold coins, silver coins, and dragon coins.

A hint of surprise appeared in Novan’s eyes. He waved his hand, and a row of boxes beside him was opened, revealing even more coins within. Golden light filled the entire room, illuminating the darkness.

“You can take half of this money to expand this school. I’m loaning it to you with zero interest, so you don’t have to be in a hurry to return it,” Krassu offered with a smile.

“Even after all these years, I still owe you.” Novan looked at Krassu and sighed with emotion.

“I trust you. I’m sure you’ll return what you owe me.” Krassu waved his hand nonchalantly. He pointed at the rest of the coins, and said, “The rest will be reserved for Little Amy. Building a magic room is going to cost a lot.”

“Your name will be recorded in Chaos School history, Teacher Krassu,” Novan said with a smile. He then walked out the door, and continued, “I’ll send people to collect the money and begin the expansion as quickly as possible. We should be able to complete the operation before the commencement of the next semester. That way, we’ll be able to take in more students next year.”

As expected, only the students matter to him. I was thinking that perhaps he would treat me to a meal. Krassu shook his head with a resigned expression.

Outside the city lord’s castle, Gustav turned to Dracula, and asked, “Dracula, the final agreement from our conference has already been signed. Tauros and I have to go back to report the news to our brethren; would you like to come with us?”

“No need. I don’t think we’re on good enough terms to have to go home together. Demons like us don’t have any friends,” Dracula replied with a lazy smile.

“You’re right about that. Farewell, then!” Tauros nodded as he climbed onto his massive black boar. He cracked his whip on the boar’s back, upon which it began to gallop along the street, attracting a lot of attention in the process.

“Farewell.” Gustav transformed into his half-spider form, and he disappeared amid a burst of spatial ripples.

“These guys don’t know how to enjoy life. What’s so good about returning to the Demon Islands? You have to enjoy a few good meals here before going back.” Dracula pursed his lips as he walked slowly down the street. As he did so, he murmured to himself, “Tofu pudding, here I come…”
