NOVEL NEXT WORLD Chapter 18: Wood Faction and Water Faction!
Chapter 18 - Wood Faction and Water Faction!
Because the photo wasn't that clear, and Luke rarely showed up in the city, most people probably wouldn't be able to tell who was standing beside Claudia.
But familiar people, like Ernest, who were friends with Luke, could tell at a glance.
"To be honest, I was quite worried before about whether a practitioner like you would ever find a girlfriend. I didn't expect you to act so quickly."
There was obvious teasing in Ernest's words.
"The other party turned out to be the famous 'Parca Morta'. Today must be the first time you two have met. I didn't expect you to be so talented in this aspect."
Listening to Ernest's teasing, Luke glared at him and said angrily: "Shut up now. If you keep gossiping, you're not afraid that Lei-Glems will abandon you now."
Faced with Luke's counterattack, Ernest shrugged and said, "Anyway, I didn't bring Lei-Glems with me when I came out today."
After speaking, he opened his hands and waved his empty hands in front of Luke.
Luke was speechless for a moment. He looked at Ernest and found that he did not carry the iconic pure white two-handed sword.
He hesitated for a moment, then reluctantly said: "That was in the afternoon; Claudia acted as a guide and introduced me to Seidoukan Academy. We don't have any intimate relationship yet. The news on the Internet is just random speculation."
"Oh, you've already started calling her 'Claudia'."
Ernest keenly discovered the key to Luke's words and gave him a meaningful smile.
"Okay, if you have nothing else to say, go away, gossiping 'Pendragon'."
"That visit was due to a formal agreement between our Jielong Seventh and Seidoukan Academy. It will be formally proposed at the next meeting between your student council presidents."
Luke felt that continuing this topic would be very detrimental to him, so he decisively turned around and left, returning to Jielong Seventh.
Ernest looked at his leaving back and smiled. It was rare for him to have an upper hand in the verbal exchange. This feeling was quite fresh.
After chatting with Ernest for a while, the sky was getting a little dark now, and little stars began to dot the sky.
However, Luke was feeling a little depressed at this time.
He had known Ernest for about a year. In the process of getting along with each other, Luke had always been teasing Ernest through the topic of 'Lei-Glems,' but unexpectedly, the other party had taken today's opportunity and teased him in turn.
However, after thinking that Ernest was finally freed from the shackles of 'Lei-Glems,' Luke was sincerely happy for him, and also very much looking forward to the showdown between them.
As for his 'date' with Claudia, he really didn't feel much.
Although the two of them did hold hands along the way, and they were indeed 'hugging and embracing each other.'
But in Luke's opinion, his main purpose was to visit Seidoukan Academy. He really didn't have much awareness of the intimate behavior between the two at the time.
He didn't expect that he would be secretly photographed and cause such a big fuss.
Luke could only look forward to it in his heart, hoping that as time goes by, the heat of this matter would decrease.
The person who took the candid photo caused the picture to be unclear due to the distance. It is really a blessing among misfortunes.
After all, although it is basically inferred that Claudia's passion for him is because of 'Pandora,' and judging from the original work, the credibility is also very high.
However, just relying on guesses and conjectures cannot make Luke completely believe in Claudia. It is even more nonsense that the two immediately became 'lovers.'
But Claudia does not have any ill intentions towards him at present, so this does not prevent Luke from having contact with Claudia, and he will not be too wary or trustful of Claudia because of this.
If Claudia really has no ill intentions towards him, then the two of them will naturally slowly become friends in the subsequent contact.
"Eh? Hello, Senior Brother Luke!"
Luke walked all the way across the school, planning to return to his dormitory in Oushinden to relax.
At a corner, he was stopped by someone familiar, but the other party was obviously surprised to meet Luke.
Luke looked in the direction of the sound. Two men were walking towards him. Judging from the way they were covered in sweat, they must have just finished exercising and were planning to go back to the dormitory to rest.
"Junior Brother Song and Junior Brother Luo, it's you two, what's the matter with stopping me?"
Song Ran and Luo Kunzhan were ranked 20th and 23rd respectively in Jielong Seventh Institute.
Although Luke calls the two of them junior brothers, they are actually older than Luke.
In Jielong, the disciples of Banyuu Tenra are not ranked according to age, but only according to the order of entry.
As Fan Xinglu's fourth disciple, Luke is now the top rank in Jielong Seventh Institute. He can be said to be a well-deserved 'senior' among the students.
"No...nothing happened. I was just a little surprised to see Senior Brother Luke at this time. I subconsciously called out..."
When Song Ran and Luo Kunzhan faced Luke, they acted a little reserved.
This can't be blamed on them, Luke's reputation among the Jielong Seventh is quite high, especially among the 'Wood Faction.'
As mentioned before, the students of Jielong Seventh Academy are mainly divided into two factions, the 'Water Faction' who practices Seisenjutsu and the 'Wood Faction' who practices physical techniques.
The two factions are basically hostile to each other.
The general situation is that the people of the Water faction look down on Wood faction idiots who can't even learn the unique skills of Jielong Seventh, while the people of the Wood faction sneer at the Water faction's "pride and arrogance."
For a long time, the resentment between the two factions has been quite deep, and it has almost reached the point of incompatibility.
This has also made the leaders of the two factions very distressed. No, it should be said that the leader of the 'Wood Faction' is very distressed.
The current leader of the 'Wood Faction' is Zhao Hufeng, the third disciple of the 'Banyuu Tenra.'
The leader of the 'Water Faction' is 'Raigeki Senka' Cecily Wang, the second disciple of 'Banyuu Tenra.'
As for Wu Xiaohui and Luke, they rarely move around the school because they have lived in Oushinden for a long time. Therefore, they are generally not counted among the two factions. They can be said to be very rare idlers among the Jielong Seventh students.
In fact, if Fan Xinglu planned to intervene, this grudge would not be a problem at all under the name of 'Banyuu Tenra.'
But Fan Xinglu's attitude towards her disciples has always been, 'Only teach skills, not principles.'
She had no interest in the petty quarrel between the Wood Faction and the Water Faction, and was too lazy to pay attention to it.
Cecily, the leader of the 'Water Faction,' has inherited this point from her master. She also does not impose too many restrictions on the members of 'Water Faction' under her, and allows them to do whatever they want.
