Chapter 597
Just then, a slightly noisy sound came from below the balcony.
Both of them were looking down.
Several female students dressed in the uniforms of the Hagun Academy were seen leaving the student dormitory and walking towards the teaching building in the distance, chatting as they went.
Claudia, who was standing to the side, said with a smile.
"I heard from Touka that the entrance exam for the Hagun Academy will be coming up soon after the New Year."
"Admissions assessment..."
Upon hearing the words "admissions assessment, "Luo Mio couldn't help but recall some interesting past experiences.
Seeing Luo Mio's expression, Claudia, as if on cue, explained the changes that had occurred over the past year and a half to Luo Mio.
During Luo Mio's absence, some minor changes occurred in both the Chivalry of a Failed Knight World and the Gakusen Toshi.
Since Shinguji Kuroko stepped down Hagun Academy Chairperson and let Touka take over, the Hagun Academy's atmosphere has changed dramatically.
Its influence even spread to the other six academies.
In addition, her Kuden'en Kanata, was also there to assist Touka.
Moreover, because of Ikki, people no longer use the maximum amount of magic power as a standard to measure a person.
Although the world knows of the existence of the 'Demon Man' who is beyond ordinary people, only a small number of people within the 'League' and 'Alliance' know about it.
Ikki and Stella are currently preparing for the "AOA" World Championship League.
For the two of them, the stage of the Seven Stars Sword Dance Festival could no longer contain them.
Shizuku serves as their personal physician, taking care of them at all times.
Shizuku's current abilities as Water Mage can be said to be comparable to those of Yakushi Kiriko.
Interestingly, Tadara Yui, who was once her rival and mortal enemy, also became friends with Stella and, at Stella's request, became Stella personal bodyguard.
Meanwhile, Arisugawa Nagi became the acting headmistress of the "Wakaba Home" where Luo Mio and Touka grew up.
Now that Nishikata Hisako is the headmistress, she is getting old and needs to rest. Arisugawa Nagi, who is more gentle and thoughtful than anyone else, has stepped forward to help Nishikata Hisako manage and take care of the children at Wakaba Home.
Luo Mio's guardians, Saikyo Neine and Shinguji Kuroko, can be considered to have retired to the sidelines.
Because of Shinguji Naru, Shinguji Kuroko has now become a full-time mom, taking Mei and her husband on trips around the world every day.
Saikyo Neine would often take a stroll around the AOA World Alliance Competition whenever she felt like it.
What attracted the most attention was the top-level clash between him and his arch-rival and close friend Shinguji Kuroko, in the AOA World Alliance Competition not long ago.
It was a complete visual feast, a collision of the extraordinary forces of time and gravity. If there hadn't been other demons present, their battle would probably have destroyed the country where they were fighting.
Now, Luo Mio's former rivals, friends, senior sisters, and senior brothers all have their own lives and dreams.
After listening to Claudia finish speaking, Luo Mio turned her head and looked at Claudia's mature and beautiful profile with her azure eyes.
Seeing Luo Mio staring straight at her, Claudia couldn't help but blush shyly on her fair cheeks.
Why are you looking at me like that?
Looking at Claudia's adorable appearance before her, Luo Mio couldn't help but smile.
"What? Is there anything wrong with me seeing my wife looking shy and adorable?"
Having traveled to many worlds, Luo Mio has seen many beautiful women, some of whom are stunningly beautiful, some are alluring, and some are gentle and tender. Among them, there are quite a few women who are more beautiful Claudia.
However, in Luo Mio's heart, Claudia was more beautiful and charming than any of them.
Upon hearing Luo Mio's words, Claudia couldn't help but roll her eyes at Luo Mio.
At this moment, Luo Mio thought of something.
He smiled at Claudia.
"Since we have plenty of time now, will you come with me somewhere?"
"Huh?"
Mom, I'm home. (I'm so angry!!!)
"Divine Residence"
It is said to be the best-preserved building from the last century left by the current supreme leader of the World Unification Organization League of the New Century, the elder brother of His Your Highness Holy Child, and a being known as the 'Divine Child'.
It was precisely because of the refuge "Divine Residence" left behind by this "Divine Child" whom His Your Highness Holy Child called his brother that the people who were lucky enough to survive in the last century were able to escape from the world-destroying power of the "Lord of Destruction" who was later known as the "Lord of Destruction".
Furthermore, it is said that all the 20th-century 'sanctuaries' that remain in the world today were provided by 'divine beings'.
It is precisely because of this sanctuary that people can be protected and allowed to fall into a deep sleep.
It took countless years for people to be able to continue living in this new world.
And according to some scientists among the survivors.
They slept in the refuge for at least tens of thousands of years before gradually awakening.
Having experienced the destruction of the entire Earth's ecosystem by the 'Lord of Destruction' in the last century, the remaining countries from that era, apart from China, the Far East, Russia, and Northern Europe, are now only left with remnants of their original lineage.
The proposal was made by the Holy Child, who is known as the kindest and gentlest person in the world and is the sister of the 'Divine Child'.
An organization comprised of some of the most populous countries today, helping the remaining people, whose bloodlines are few and far between, to rebuild their homes.
Today, it is located on the coast a little further from "Divine Residence" in the Far East.
The bustling city port is filled with a multitude of sounds.
The sounds of cars weaving through the streets, people talking as they walk along the road, children reading aloud in the newly built school, and workers diligently toiling on the construction site...
Inside the kindergarten.
In this new world, the first batch of children born are now of kindergarten age.
These children had all been asleep in the shelter since their mothers were pregnant.
Only after the pregnant women have fully awakened do they begin to slowly grow in the womb.
Now they listen to the elderly woman who taught them and was also the kindergarten principal tell stories about people from the last century.
"Grandma! Grandma! Where did that world-destroying villain, the 'Lord of Destruction,' go in the end?"
A boy who looked very brave looked at the kindergarten director and said in a very innocent way.
"Well, the big bad guy is probably sleeping somewhere in the world right now."
"Sleep? When I grow up, I'm going to find him and then destroy him! I'll become a hero like His Highness 'Divine Child'!"
"Me too! Me too!"
"Let's go together and defeat the big bad guy!"
Looking at the group of new children, the elderly woman who was the kindergarten principal had a very kind expression in her eyes.
At this moment, a very quiet and well-behaved girl, about a year and a half younger than the other children, walked up to the old lady and said in a soft voice.
"Grandma, where is that Your Highness Holy Child's brother, the 'Divine Child', now?"
Upon hearing this, the kindergarten director smiled and patted the girl's head.
"Well, your dad will tell you that when you grow up, little Xingjian."
"Huh?"
"Your father used to be an assistant and bodyguard to His Highness 'divine prince'."
"But I've never heard my dad say that before."
The headmistress just smiled gently.
The little girl continued to ask questions.
"Grandma... what His Highness the 'Divine Child' look like?"
"Just like His Your Highness Holy Child, she has very beautiful white hair, and also a pair of very clear blue eyes."
Hearing the kindergarten director's answer, the little girl thoughtfully went to the window alone.
At that moment, the little girl's eyes suddenly moved.
Because there were two figures standing by the roadside near the kindergarten.
One of the female figures had dazzling blonde hair and her lake-blue eyes were filled with a very gentle expression, just like the way her mother looked at her.
Beside the woman stood a beautiful woman with white hair and blue eyes.
Then she saw a beautiful woman with white hair and blue eyes look at her and smile.
When the little girl blinked and looked again, the two figures had already disappeared.
Huh?
White hair and beautiful blue eyes...
——
"Divine Residence".
And in the woods outside the "Divine Residence".
Looking at Luo Mio, Claudia covered her mouth and chuckled softly.
"It seems those kids don't know that the so-called world-destroying villain and the world-saving Great Hero are actually the same person."
"..."
Luo Mio simply shrugged helplessly at Claudia's words.
After passing through the woods outside the "Divine Residence," Luo Mio finally arrived at her destination. She looked at the familiar lake, trees, small wooden houses beside the lake, and the Divine Residence nestled on the hill behind the houses...
A happy smile appeared on Luo Mio's lips.
"After all this time, not much has changed."
Claudia, standing behind her, looked at the beautiful scenery before her, her expression showing a hint of hesitation or nervousness.
Seeing her lover's expression, Luo Mio was slightly taken aback, then smiled and teased.
"When I'm with my sister and teachers, I don't seem to Tia this nervous."
Claudia rolled her eyes and said softly.
"How could I not be nervous? When I first met Sister Touka, I was so nervous that my back was covered in sweat."
"Moreover, the person you are visiting this time is your mother in this world, Mio. As a daughter-in-law, how could you not be nervous when meeting your parents-in-law for the first time?"
Seeing Claudia's adorable complaining expression, Luo Mio smiled.
He reached out his hand, grasped it firmly, and said to Claudia, "Relax, I'm here."
Looking at Luo Mio, Claudia's lips also involuntarily curled up, revealing a smile as well.
"Um."
"But before that, we need to go to another place first."
With that, Luo Mio took Claudia's hand and walked towards the deepest part of the forest.
"Here it is...?"
Claudia followed Luo Mio and eventually arrived at a cave in the forest.
Around the cave, Claudia could clearly sense the presence of countless serpentine creatures, and among these creatures, Claudia could not detect the slightest trace of blood.
As soon as Claudia entered the cave, she saw a huge, blue python sleeping with its eyes closed.
As if sensing the presence of a living person, the blue python slowly opened its eyes.
When the snake's eyes swept over Luo Mio's figure, an expression of great excitement and joy immediately appeared in the blue python's eyes.
Luo Mio stepped forward and gently stroked the little green snake that had once been in front of her.
"It's been a long time, little one."
The Green Python affectionately stretched out its head and rubbed against Luo Mio's hand.
Luo Mio said very gently.
"Thank you for protecting the peace and tranquility here all these years."
