Free Web NovelOrianna followed Casper, and he didn’t even have time to notify the Church before he dashed straight toward the seaside.
The God of Bountiful Harvest’s territory was vast, connected to the Lost Snow Mountains above and the Endless Ocean below.
It was just that the God of Bountiful Harvest didn’t hold the corresponding authority. The seaside, which should have been a thriving area, was instead desolate here. Still, there were a few harbors.
The Lost Snow Mountains were a place like the Endless Ocean, heavily polluted—in fact, even more terrifying than the Endless Ocean.
No matter how severe the pollution in the Endless Ocean was, there were still humans living on the sea. But no one had ever come out of the Lost Snow Mountains alive, and even Players struggled to do so.
“Surely a Pirate King isn’t actually going to emerge, right?”
Casper, wearing the straw hat Loren had given him, raced toward the seaside without even bothering to find a horse.
The pirate forces at sea were chaotic, and spreading information across the ocean was extremely difficult. It often happened that a Pirate Emperor would rise in one area while pirates on the other side had never even heard of them—the Endless Ocean was just that vast.
The pirates’ strength varied wildly, but none of them were as powerful as Casper. Maybe he really could become the Pirate King.
Still, Casper was quite important to the Bountiful Church. His sudden departure would be a blow to them.
But there was nothing they could say. Casper had spent his entire life diligently serving the Bountiful Church, devoting himself to it. Now that he was this old, chasing his dream was understandable.
Anyway, no matter who became the next Headmaster, their first priority would be to come and curry favor with Loren.
With nothing much to do in the morning, Loren simply sat in his office the whole time. At noon, he planned to go to the cafeteria with Paqina, but Seraphina showed up diligently with a lunchbox.
She had carefully prepared several portions of food, and in the end, Loren chose to have lunch with the others on the academy grounds.
Anna was still fickle, her enthusiasm lasting only three minutes. She had come to the academy just to see what kind of person Paqina was. Once she understood Paqina, she had no reason to keep attending classes.
Anyway, the academy’s teachings were certainly not as useful as Loren’s. Spending this time on classes was better spent sleeping more.
Everyone gathered on a bench on the academy grounds, where they could enjoy the campus scenery. It reminded Loren of the school-themed anime he used to watch.
Scenes like this only existed in Loren’s imagination. Usually, he’d be the first to rush to the cafeteria, finish his lunch in ten minutes, and then go back to his dorm to catch up on sleep—to avoid dropping dead from exhaustion.
Now, leisurely eating lunch on campus like this, Loren felt quite sentimental.
Seraphina’s every move was incredibly graceful. She placed the lunchbox on the table, straightened her maid dress, and only then sat down. Even after sitting, her dress remained perfectly neat. Finally, she set the lunchbox on her lap and opened the lid.
She had even wanted to tie a napkin around Loren’s neck, but he refused.
Watching Seraphina’s flawless demeanor, Paqina felt a bit inferior. She hadn’t interacted much with Seraphina and wasn’t as used to her as Luna was.
Compared to Seraphina, Loren was far more casual. He held his lunchbox, propped one foot on the bench, and wolfed down his food.
He never cared about elegance when eating. If a commoner ate like this, it was considered bad manners. But when someone as important as Loren did it, it was called being unpretentious. Even the most refined nobles would have to praise him for it.
Loren activated a bit of cognitive interference, so the passing students didn’t recognize him and paid no attention to this spot.
Paqina and Luna were Witches with low presence, and Jessica had an ordinary face, so the students didn’t notice them either. They just looked like the most average students.
The only issue was Seraphina, who also went unnoticed.
But among all the anomalies Seraphina displayed, this was the most normal, so Loren didn’t think too much of it.
“I’m done.”
Loren finished quickly and set the empty lunchbox aside. Seraphina immediately stopped what she was doing and packed it up.
“I have class this afternoon. Do you want to stay with me or go home?”
“Could I be a teaching assistant?”
Seraphina’s answer surprised Loren. She had always been the type not to fight for anything, so this was the first time she had been so proactive.
“Sure, you can be a teaching assistant if you want.”
Seraphina had very little education, so technically she wasn’t qualified to assist here. But with Loren around, she didn’t need to do anything anyway.
So Loren agreed to Seraphina’s request directly. Maybe Seraphina had always dreamed of being a teacher.
“Thank you.”
Getting Loren’s approval made Seraphina overjoyed, but she didn’t rush him. She just sat there obediently, waiting.
Once the others finished eating, they all returned to the office together.
“Let’s get started.”
The moment they stepped into the office, Seraphina sidled up to Loren.
“Alright.”
Loren figured Seraphina wanted him to brief her on the lesson content so she could help out.
But Loren didn’t have a lesson plan or anything—he basically just taught whatever came to mind.
“Then I’ll trouble you all to leave for a moment.”
Just then, Seraphina suddenly asked Paqina and the others to step out, which confused Loren.
“There’s no need for them to leave, is there? It’s not some big secret, and they’re our people.”
“Alright.” freeweɓnovel.cѳm
Seraphina didn’t ask anything, simply going along with Loren’s words.
She sat down across from Loren, then took off her high heels, holding them in both hands.
Seraphina’s dress was very long. She deliberately pulled it up a bit before revealing her calves.
A thin layer of white stockings wrapped around her feet, which were as perfect as a work of art.
It wasn’t just her face—every part of Seraphina’s body was flawless, so much so that Loren instinctively glanced over.
“Why did you take off your shoes?”
“Hm? Do you prefer them on?”
At that moment, Loren finally realized what Seraphina was talking about, and he nearly lost it.
He pinched Seraphina’s cheek and stared into her golden eyes.
“Have you been corrupted by Mirrorheart?”
The pain from having her cheek pinched made tears glisten in Seraphina’s eyes. Seeing her pitiful expression, Loren ultimately felt a bit of sympathy and let go, leaving Seraphina’s cheek a little red.
But she didn’t rub it. She still held her high heels in both hands, looking utterly obedient.
“No, this is something I’ve always wanted to do.”
“You…”
Loren’s head throbbed as he looked down. How come Seraphina was like this too?
But as he lowered his head, he caught sight of Seraphina’s perfectly proportioned calves, and his tone suddenly shifted.
“Paqina, you all step out for a bit. I have something to do…”
“Yes…”
Paqina didn’t understand what was happening, but Jessica sensed a crisis for Luna. She wanted to say something, only to see Luna following Paqina out, so she could only hurry after her.
