Endless Silver Machine

The next morning, when Aika came downstairs, breakfast was already ready.

The girls seemed to have reached an agreement without him knowing. If there is time, everyone will take turns to be responsible for breakfast, and dinner will be prepared together after everyone comes back.

Today's breakfast was prepared by Ling. She had done a lot of practice in private, and breakfast was relatively simple, so there was nothing to be picky about Ling's cooking.

"Sister Ling, I brought these over..."

"Well, please."

The atmosphere between Wei Xi and Ling seems to have relaxed a lot. What must have happened last night? Aika looked at the two busy people and breathed a sigh of relief.

"Did you ask Luoluo to wake up when you came down just now?"

Aika shuddered when she heard Ling's question. However, Ling and Wei Xi were busy setting the table and did not notice his subtle reaction.

"I knocked on Luoluo's door this morning, but she seemed to be sleeping soundly. If you don't wake her up now, she will definitely be late."

"I just called her, don't worry..."

Aika hid her wavering eyes and walked quickly to the washbasin inside.

…………

Ten minutes ago——

"Brother...brother...get up quickly..."

While half asleep, I heard a familiar voice, and the force that pushed me was also familiar. Aika tried to open her eyes.

The summer sun rises very early, and the dazzling sunlight hits my eyes directly from the window. Knowing that Aika was very angry in bed, Luoluo would use this tough method to wake him up.

"morning……"

Aika sat up with his heavy body, and Lolo, who was wearing pajamas, had already opened the window to ventilate the room.

Last night, Wei Xi had already shared a room with Ling, and Aika had no reason to reject Luo Luo, who was alone.

The two spent a long night in the same bed. Aika couldn't remember when she fell asleep, and she still felt tired after waking up.

The most appropriate thing to do was to keep silent about what happened last night, so neither of them touched the fuse.

"I'll go downstairs later. You can come out in a few minutes."

Aika avoided her sister's gaze on her.

"OK, all right."

She just smiled.

…………

Luoluo came to the table soon after.

"Sister Luoluo, thank you last night..."

After Wei Xi saw Luo Luo coming downstairs, she trotted to her side.

"This is your own effort, you don't need to say thank you to me."

"And that...I'm sorry to leave you alone..."

"It really doesn't matter, Xiao Xi, you think too much." Luo Luo smiled and touched Wei Xi's head, "You and Sister Ling should get along well."

"You two, stop whispering over there. Teacher Letika will be coming to pick us up soon. You must not be late on the first day!"

Ling urged Luoluo and Wei Xi while placing the plates on the dining table.

"Ah, sorry, I'll be ready soon."

Luoluo quickly turned around and walked towards the wash basin, and Aika just walked out of it after washing.

"Brother...brother, good morning..."

"morning……"

The two greeted each other vaguely. I have obviously said the same thing in the room before, but it feels very awkward to say it again now.

"Those two people seem a little strange..."

Ling was keenly aware of the atmosphere between Aika and Luoluo.

"Forget it, it has nothing to do with me."

After telling myself this, my feeling of depression was relieved a lot.

…………

When everyone was getting ready, the doorbell happened to ring.

I arrived at Shimozuki Academy too late last night, so I didn't see any other students besides them. In the early morning of the first day of school, Shuoyue Academy appeared in front of everyone with a new look.

Although there were only about two hundred students as mentioned by Teacher Letika, the scene of more than two hundred people gathered in the central square was very spectacular.

The central square is an open-air circular building, with enough seats surrounding the walls to accommodate the teachers and students of the entire college.

Prior to this, everyone had learned through Wei Xi that the area of ​​the neutral area under the jurisdiction of Shuoyue Academy was no less than that of the Bisi Empire.

After the end of the cross-border war, diplomatic relations between different races, countries and tribes were basically severed. Big figures who left their names in the history of the cross-border war joined forces to create a hub for the study of supernatural abilities without borders and racial differences - Frost Moon. The area where the academy is located is defined as an absolutely inviolable "neutral area". It drafted and promulgated enforceable continental peace "treaties", unified currency and other common continental items.

Shuoyue Academy attracts researchers and scholars from all over the world with its credibility, and has established the most comprehensive interdisciplinary system in the mainland. Its hidden strength is no less than any force, symbolizing the absolute authority of the mainland.

"Sure enough, there are all kinds of people here..."

Ling looked around. Before this, it was only a race that was rumored, and they were all present in Shimozuki Academy.

"Humans" were the most populous race on the continent before the cross-border war.

Due to the inherent lower magic reserves than the long-lived species, lack of physical strength of the orcs, and insufficient understanding of the magic system, the development and utilization of magic by humans is still at its lowest stage, and it is at an irreversible disadvantage in cross-border wars. The population Sharp decrease.

It was not until the emergence of magic equipment and the introduction of the magic machine theory that combined magic and technology that the extinction of the race was avoided.

The population of the "gods" is less than one-tenth of that of humans. They are good at using deformed light magic and are known for their aggressiveness with the speed of light and high thermal energy.

In the cross-border war, the Gods have no specific purpose. They just regard this war as a game and do not cooperate with any race. They may break into the chaotic battle alone at any time. They are called "an elegant and barbaric race".

The magic power of "vampires" has a specific viscosity, they can freely manipulate their own blood, and they have a self-healing ability that is ten times more than that of humans.

For other races, just releasing magic power can create a threat.

In cross-border wars, the Vampires are the only race that can stop the intrusion of the Gods with pure power.

The "elves" are mostly women, and most of them are petite.

They are a non-militant race. They strive to protect themselves in cross-border wars and only take independent defense when they have to.

"Orcs" have ears and tails that are similar to those of other races. Magical power is similar to humans, and they are better at thinking and development.

They are characterized by their athletic ability and reflexes that far exceed those of humans. They have a place in cross-border wars with a fighting style that focuses on physical skills and supplements magic.

Only after seeing it with your own eyes can you understand Wei Xi’s past “popular science”.

At this time, Aika thought of the girl she met in the family restaurant before.

"Teacher Letika, is there a girl named Qiu Ke in our class?"

"Eh? How did you know?"

"When we first came here, we were taken care of in her family's store, and we got to know each other at that time."

"Qiu Ke is the monitor of our class. You should get along well with each other in the future."

…………

On the high platform on the opposite side, Principal Phyllis's speech has already begun. Since it was the second semester, there were no new students except Aika, so Principal Phyllis’s speech was simple and clear.

In just a few minutes, the first assembly of the new semester of Shimozuki Academy came to an end.

The three grades are on three different floors from low to high. Going above is the ordinary student activity room, which is usually used by indoor clubs.

As instructor Letika introduced, there are only about a dozen students in the twin class.

When introducing himself, Qiu Ke, who was sitting in the front row as expected, quietly waved to Aika, his big soft tail wagging excitedly from behind the chair.

Aika chose the middle seat by the window, and their positions were quickly decided. Wei Xi sat in the front row of Aika, Luoluo chose the seat to the right of Aika, and Ling sat behind Aika with an indifferent expression.

"I'm the monitor of this class, and I'm in the same class as I guessed."

"Please take good care of me in the future, Qiu Ke-san."

"Why do you know my name? By the way, you also knew that I was a student here before. Are you the legendary...stalker?"

Qiu Ke took a timid step back, holding his fluffy tail in front of him as if to cover his body.

"What on earth did I do to make you think that way?"

Aika suddenly felt that she had failed as a human being. All the girls who know him have some inexplicable misunderstandings about him, including his own sister.

"I heard your father call your name that day. You should be about the same age as my sister, so I guessed that you are also a student."

"Your sister?"

"The one who stands behind you."

"Eh?"

Qiu Ke quickly turned around, and Luo Luo was standing behind her with a smile, probably coming to say hello.

"I'm Luoluo. I was taken care of by you in the store yesterday."

Luo Luo, who stood quietly behind Qiu Ke, once again seriously introduced himself and thanked him.

Yesterday, Luoluo woke up after Qiu Ke left. For her, this was the first time she met Qiu Ke, so it was impossible for her to talk to her naturally like Aika and the others.

"No, there's no need to say thank you so solemnly, hehehe...ah, class is about to start, I'll go back first!"

Qiu Ke coyly hugged her tail, smiled shyly and ran away.

Although she looks very natural, she seems to be very bad at dealing with such serious situations.

"Student Qiu Ke, I've been telling you for half a year, 'Don't run around in the classroom,' but you still haven't remembered it?"

"Yeah, sorry!"

The monitor was caught red-handed by the class instructor who happened to come in.

"Wow, what a strong sense of déjà vu."

Ling sighed quietly behind her, and Aika felt the same way.

It’s incredible that Qiu Ke can still be re-elected as monitor...
