Chapter 391 The feeling of departure
Chapter 391 The feeling of departure
The blizzard was riding on the north wind, wreaking havoc on the land. Lilith woke up and found that it was very difficult to push the door of the dormitory building. It took her some effort to succeed. Then the crisp wind suddenly blew on her face, and her vision became bright. Although Lilith's nose was red, she couldn't help but scream.
"Meow!"
A dissatisfied cry came from the common room on the side. Lilith turned her head and saw the claws hanging from the chair, which were opening and closing one by one to show off their sharp claws. It was obvious that it was very dissatisfied with the student who let in the cold wind and did not close the door for a long time.
"sorry Sorry!"
Lilith bowed and nodded to the dormitory manager, apologized, and walked out.
The outside was already covered in silver, turning into a bright silver world of ice and snow, and the whole world seemed to have become larger. Lilith's mood also became more open, she breathed a sigh of relief, rolled up a cloud of white mist, and then ran at her own pace as usual.
"I thought you'd at least sleep in today."
When Lilithru ran to the edge of Mirror Lake along her usual route, she saw a figure already there.
The young man in black clothes and black hair stood alone in the white world, like a goose left behind when migratory birds flew south.
"Good morning, Ian!"
Lilith was already sweating from running. She pulled down her big scarf and showed her smiling face to the other person without reservation.
Ian was infected by her smile, and a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and the loneliness around him dissipated a lot.
"Why did you get up so early? Are you nervous?" Lilith slowed down her breathing and teased her partner.
The boy opposite just shook his head honestly, but his tone was helpless, "The dormitory has been a bit noisy recently."
Lilith understood immediately and then couldn't help laughing. Although the Church of Light had little presence in Goletia, the students were all from the Gaia Empire after all. Some of them had been ingrained in them since childhood and they might not remember them on weekdays, but as the competition was approaching and they had already exhausted all their efforts, they would certainly not let go of metaphysics and pray to the gods.
Lilith completely understood that people had to cram at the last minute, but some people were unlucky enough to run to the lake and freeze early in the morning.
"Are you nervous, Lilith?" Ian looked at his partner in front of him. She continued to emit scorching heat in the ice and snow, and white mist continued to permeate her body. She seemed to be much warmer than the sun that had just risen from the sky.
——That’s right, today is the day when the College Cup starts, and Lilith and the others will also be on the field today. The hard training over the past few days will soon be put to the test.
"Nervous." Unexpectedly, Lily nodded and admitted without reservation - "Otherwise I wouldn't wake up so early."
"I thought you wouldn't be nervous." Ian walked closer and brushed the fresh snow off Lilith's shoulders.
"certainly not."
Lilith looked over her shoulder, and a light appeared in her hand. A faint halo slowly enveloped the two of them, and the ice and snow hovered above the invisible light curtain above their heads, no longer wetting their shoulders and hair.
"--I'm always nervous, whether it's a competition, a training session, or every time I go on an adventure." Lilith said, looking at the snowflakes above her head.
Such an answer was a little unexpected for Ian. He looked at Lilith carefully. She was facing the frozen Mirror Lake at the moment, greedily enjoying the beautiful scenery that belonged only to early risers.
"I never realized... Lilith, you never seemed to hesitate." His magician partner seemed to be always full of energy and enthusiasm, leading everyone forward without hesitation, time and time again.
"Although I'm nervous, I like this feeling." Lilith touched her chest with a smile. Her heart, which had just been exercised, had not yet recovered its usual steady rhythm. It was now beating vigorously in her chest, just like it did every time she set out on an adventure.
“…How does it feel to be on your way out?”
"Yes!" Lilith nodded happily. This world seemed to have infinite possibilities, and she walked freely in it, becoming stronger through adventures. This incomparable experience filled her with the courage to set out and try. Compared with such a wonderful experience, the nervousness before departure was nothing.
"What about you?" Lilith turned her head and smiled, "Do you like it?"
"……like."
As expected! Lilith narrowed her eyes in a smile. She said they wouldn't play together for no reason!
"Then let's work hard together, partner!" Lilith held out her hand to him. "This is not only for Bobby, but also for the future, so that we can high-five more times."
After defeating the Void Beast.
Ian understood what Lilith said and reached out his hand to touch hers lightly.
"work hard together."
It seemed that the sun did not jump out of the ground at a constant speed. In the blink of an eye, a red cloud suddenly rose up, and the snow in the sky seemed to be burning, shining golden.
"It's dawn..." Lilith looked at a dormitory building in the distance. The windows were slowly lighting up. This magical city was waking up. "It might be very noisy today. If you can't stand it, just look at me."
Ian's face showed confusion, and he lowered his head, trying to read Lilith's expression.
"At least I read the Bible better than them." Lilith patted her chest and boasted.
Ian's eyes were filled with smile again - "Yeah."
"See you later, Lilith."
