Chapter 359 The Red-Eyed White Rabbit's School Enrollment Story
"Roy, please, take Bell as your apprentice!"
Under Takemikazuchi's personal instruction, Hestia knelt before Roy in the standard dogeza posture, without a trace of the dignity and arrogance befitting a god.
Seeing this, the girls in the Star Garden all cast curious glances. What's wrong with Shuangbo again? Their leader is really too busy to stop.
Roy frowned. "What do you mean?"
"That child—Bell wants to be a hero. Please, Roy, you're the only person I can think of. Please teach Bell how to fight. I'm willing to pay any price!" Hestia said earnestly.
Even with a godlike skill like "Hero's Aspiration," Bell is currently just a level 1 newbie who doesn't understand any dungeon knowledge or combat skills. Countless newcomers have fallen at this stage.
This world is never short of geniuses!
What's lacking are the geniuses who grow up; if they die prematurely, no one will remember them.
Having returned from the underworld, Roy is undoubtedly one of the adventurers closest to becoming a "hero," and if he were to mentor Bell, it would greatly shorten Bell's growth time.
Heroic aspirations! Of course, the most powerful boost comes from staying by the side of a "hero"!
Willing to pay any price —
Roy stared at Hestia, who was bowing to the ground, his eyes filled with something enormous.
Diona, who is extremely sensitive in certain aspects, said, "Captain, your gaze has clearly shifted downwards by three centimeters!"
"Captain~ Aren't I enough for you?" Tione pouted unhappily, arching her back to reveal her breathtakingly beautiful curves.
Lily looked at her little hill with frustration.
"Cough! Cough!"
Roy coughed lightly. That damned Thunder had actually controlled him for a full three seconds, which was more insidious and many times more powerful than the binding magic of a LV.6 adventurer!
But to be honest, Roy really didn't have time to take on a disciple. His family's future plans and a whole host of other matters had already given him a huge headache.
Moreover, his continued contact with Bell caused the boy to attract the attention of certain people. Wouldn't all his previous efforts have been in vain? Hestia didn't know the reason behind it, otherwise she wouldn't have come to ask him to take Bell as her apprentice. The closer his relationship with Bell was on the surface, the worse the boy's developmental environment would be, and there was even a fatal danger.
The Astrea Familia is invincible in the world, but there is a difference between being invincible and being omnipotent.
Roy asked, "What if I refuse?"
Hestia's expression was resolute as she firmly stated, "Then I will kneel until you agree!"
Roy curled his lip. "Forced sale, huh? Any random girl could throw you out." He sighed, "Sigh, wouldn't it be better to have a guild employee as an advisor and let things develop slowly? Why force it?"
That being said, Roy actually looked down on those guild staff who only talked the talk but didn't walk the walk. Moreover, those staff only followed procedures and couldn't keep up with Little Bell's rapid growth. The only reliable one, Eina, had already finished collecting information on Zeus and Hera's Familia and was about to be poached by him.
"So!"
Hearing Roy's tone soften, Hestia's eyes lit up. Could it be that Roy might take her as a disciple?
Roy saw right through Hestia's thoughts and said calmly, "Don't misunderstand, I don't take on apprentices!"
Hestia's bright eyes darkened.
Roy pondered for a moment, then changed the subject, "However, I can find him a suitable place to study and train, as well as a good teacher."
"Yay!" Hestia was startled, then jumped up happily, revealing a cute and innocent smile.
Roy glanced at her. "Aren't you worried that I just want to get rid of this nuisance?"
"How could that be? After all, you're Roy!" Hestia laughed happily, her words conveying the message: I trust you to handle things!
Roy smiled helplessly. They were so adorably naive, easily kidnapped. He turned to his girls, "I'll go out for a bit, I'll be right back!"
"good!"
The girls from the clan responded.
Transfer to a higher position!
Roy grabbed Hestia's slender wrist and activated his magic. The surrounding air rippled with silver waves, and the two figures transformed into intertwined streams of light amidst the spatial fluctuations. In an instant, they had traversed half of Orario and appeared in the abandoned church.
"Amazing!" Hestia exclaimed. Even among the omnipotent gods, only those with special powers could perform spatial teleportation.
While it's impossible to traverse billions of miles in an instant, the fact that a child from the lower realm has awakened such magic is already an incredible miracle, simply unbelievable.
"Bell, we're back!"
Upon learning the whole story, Little Bell was on the verge of tears, bowing repeatedly, "Mr. Roy, I'm so sorry to have troubled you."
Since learning Roy's identity, Little Bell dared not be as carefree as before; this was the world's top adventurer! In terms of strength...
Status and everything else—he couldn't even see the other person's back.
Roy said, "It's too late to say anything now."
Little Bell felt a strong sense of guilt for not stopping the god in time.
"Consider it after-sales service." Roy patted Bell on the shoulder. It wasn't easy to get favors from Alphia, and Hestia had put in a lot of effort on the journey to the Underworld, so he should lend a hand as well.
Hearing this, Bell felt a little relieved. The experience of the whole day had taught him that Roy wasn't a difficult person to get along with.
"Roy, what can I do?" Hestia, oblivious to everything, ran over barefoot.
Roy said, "Go get a job, don't cause trouble!"
"Awoo~"
Hestia let out a mournful cry, feeling as if an arrow had pierced her heart. Dejected, she went out to work, thinking, "I knew it. I'm a useless and incompetent goddess."
In front of the innocent and ignorant Bell, Hestia still had some authority as a goddess; but if it were Roy, she would instantly become a useless and worthless goddess.
Little Bell felt sorry for him, "The gods are so pitiful."
"You should take care of yourself first; you're barely able to take care of yourself," Roy glanced at Bell.
Little Bell swallowed hard.
Roy continued, "The place I recommend to you is called the school district. Let me briefly introduce it to you—"
"School district?"
Little Bell thought for a moment, then his expression changed to one of surprise. It was that legendary giant ship, the world's most prestigious university, which sailed the seas year-round, circumnavigating the world!
In terms of reputation, the school district is one of the best, and even Bell is a well-known name.
"Mr. Roy, can I really go to the school district?" Little Bell asked uncertainly. Only the most outstanding people in the world can get in.
Roy said, "If I say you can, then you can!"
Little Bell had a bad feeling.
Transfer to a higher position!
Roy locked onto the location, grabbed Bell's shoulder, and activated his magic. The two of them vanished instantly, traversing a vast distance to arrive in the port city of Mellen.
Then, another transfer occurred, and the scattered lights on the giant ship converged to form the figures of the two people.
Little Bell was completely caught off guard, feeling the scenery rapidly changing before his eyes, filled with bizarre and dazzling images that made him dizzy.
"I feel terrible!" Little Bell forced himself to vomit his breakfast. If he had the ability to develop "abnormal resistance", it would be fine, but he was only LV.1, too weak, and could not even bear the burden of spatial movement.
Roy said, "Welcome to the school district!"
The school district's behemoth is divided into three levels. The bottom level contains training grounds, laboratories, and the like. The middle level contains dormitories for teachers and students, canteens, and commercial streets. The top level is the residence and office of the school district's deity, who controls the entire situation.
Their current position is right on the only way between the middle and the top levels.
Roy pointed to a room on the top floor. "Bell, go there. The school principal is on the top floor. If you pass his questions and answers, you can become a student of the school and systematically learn all kinds of knowledge, growing into a qualified adventurer in the shortest time. This is also the shortest path for you to become a hero!"
Because building the elevator requires a large number of engineers and technical expertise from the school district, the district has temporarily halted the new round-the-world travel plan until things settle down here. This is the best time for Bell to enroll.
They can receive resources from the school district for education without leaving Orario, and they can train in the dungeon.
The teachers Roy chose for him were also extraordinary.
It was none other than that "hero of our time," the greatest knight, one of the few LV.7s in the world, Leon Wadenberg! He had learned so much from Zeus and the members of Hera's Familia; it was time to pay his debts!
At Bell's rate of growth, he'll become a Level 1 adventurer in a year or two at most!
"So high."
Little Bell stared blankly at the room on the tower, about three hundred meters away as the crow flies.
Roy said, "By the way, due to the special nature of the school district, outsiders who want to board the district's giant ship need to undergo very strict checks. If they trespass, the entire clan will be severely punished, possibly even sent back by the gods, and the clan members will be executed!"
With his rabbit-like keen intuition, Little Bell asked, "Mr. Roy, so we are now—"
Roy grinned, "Unauthorized trespassing!"
Upon hearing this, Bell's face turned green.
"Phew!" Little Bell took a deep breath, constantly reassuring herself, "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, Mr. Roy, the legendary adventurer, is here with me."
Roy's next sentence plunged him into despair.
"Bell, I need to correct you. It wasn't 'we,' it was 'you!'" Roy said.
Little Bell's heart skipped a beat.
"Be careful not to get caught by the school district guards and students, or the consequences will be severe," Roy laughed. As soon as he finished speaking, he immediately activated the spell "Upper Rank Transfer," and his figure vanished instantly.
Little Bell looked at the empty ground after Roy moved away, and let out a desperate wail, clutching his head.
"Mr. Roy!!"
"You think you're so great, so high and mighty? You brought me here, but have you ever thought about taking me back?!"
Roy activated "Superior Transfer" and did not leave immediately, but instead went to the top deck of the giant ship.
That is, the principal's office.
If you want someone with connections to get into a school, you have to ask them for permission first. Roy isn't really irresponsible.
When Roy arrived, the room was unexpectedly quiet the moment he landed. He keenly sensed two presences, turned his head, and froze.
What came into view was an elven girl with long, flowing golden hair. Her clothes were half-covered, revealing large areas of skin that looked like it had been carved from the finest white jade. Her delicate collarbones and rounded shoulders were exposed in the dim light.
The two gazed at each other and blinked simply, as if time and space had stood still.
"Lefia, what a coincidence!"
Roy greeted him awkwardly but politely.
"Aaaaaaaahhhhhh!!" Almost at the same moment, a sharp, explosive sound, enough to pierce eardrums and filled with extreme shame and indignation, rang out.
The elven girl's exquisitely beautiful face was flushed, and her deep blue eyes were brimming with tears. Shame, anger, and helplessness surged like a burst dam as she screamed, "Don't look!"
Shouting, Lefia frantically grabbed everything within reach and hurled the wolf at Roy.
Roy moved swiftly, dodging all the incoming objects, which only made the school district sprites hit him even harder.
After a long while, the farce finally came to an end.
Lefia wrapped herself up tightly, her robes meticulously arranged, as if she wanted to seal every inch of her flawless white skin within the fabric.
Only the intense blush, like the glow of the sunset, lingered on her delicate, porcelain-doll-like cheeks, showing no signs of fading. Moreover, the shy blush seemed to have a life of its own, spreading to her slender ears and her swan-like, snow-white neck, leaving a faint pink hue.
"Commander!!"
Lefia glared at Roy with a resentful look on her face, biting her lower lip to make her expression appear more fierce and intimidating.
Unfortunately, her watery eyes were glistening with tears, her long eyelashes trembled slightly, and her cheeks were flushed red all the way down to her neck, making her look like a little kitten that had been provoked and whose fur stood on end, instead of being fierce at all.
Born in the relatively open Visien Forest, Lefia, as an elf, doesn't mind others touching her skin, but only to things like shaking hands.
And just now Roy almost saw everything.
"Cough! Cough!" Roy coughed to ease the awkwardness. He hadn't expected this little girl to be so talented and unassuming. She was far superior to Tiona!
Lefia's presence here is, of course, a conversion, officially joining the Astria Spring Clan! After experiencing numerous events, this school district elf with thick golden hair has finally found her true calling, choosing to graduate and become a full member!
The school district gods will not stand in your way.
Roy didn't come earlier or later, but he transferred over at the most crucial minute.
"Badr, it's been a long time." Roy looked at the upright god who taught and nurtured people. The god in charge of "light" was definitely a benevolent deity.
Bader watched Roy and Lefia the whole time, his kind smile growing wider and wider. "Roy, it has been a while since we last met. But when we're working in the school district, please address me by my title."
Roy said, "Yes, Principal Bader."
