Sensing the return of the dormitory’s true owner, Rover and Ryuji subconsciously looked back together.
However, this time the big golden retriever was different from usual.
Lynae was leaning against the door, displaying an unprecedented sense of confusion.
So Ryuji and Rover stood up together and came before her.
Da, da.
Only when the two of them arrived right in front of Lynae did she seem to notice the arrival of Ryuji and Rover, and immediately switched her mood to speak:
“Ya, you two came. There weren’t any conflicts, right?”
Even at a time like this she still had the leisure to care about others, when clearly just a moment ago her face had still carried obvious anxiety.
Ryuji and Rover both shook their heads, then Rover opened her mouth:
“Everything regarding Fractsidus’s actions has already been fully reported to the research institute. They should make preparations afterward.”
Rover reported to Lynae the results from her own side.
It seemed their previous actions had gone smoothly.
“You probably won’t be very convenient during this period. If there’s anything regarding Fractsidus, you can always come find me to handle it in your place.”
Hearing Rover’s words, Lynae shook her head, then walked to the front of the sofa.
“There’s nothing I particularly want to do. Rover, Ryuji, just keep me company and talk for a bit.”
After sitting down, she only then discovered that her dormitory was a bit messy.
Inviting friends in like this seemed a bit improper.
“Hiss, I should have tidied up a little.”
As Lynae spoke she rolled her hair a bit, looking somewhat embarrassed.
Regarding this, Ryuji and Rover only gave light smiles, then sat down on her left and right sides.
Sensing the companionship of her friends, the corners of Lynae’s mouth lightly curved upward.
Then they drooped back down again.
“I want to talk about some things regarding myself. I still hope you two won’t find me too talkative.”
Toward the end, Lynae revealed a trace of a bitter smile.
It looked as if she were writing a farewell letter…
Afterward, Lynae began to recount her previous way of survival in the New Federation.
She had been a mercenary of the New Federation without a fixed residence, so the previous matters to her could not be considered “living,” only “surviving.”
Until she came to Startorch Academy.
It turned out that life still had ways of existing other than staying in dark corners day after day.
It turned out she could also possess ways of living other than keeping company with weapons.
In the initial period after coming to Startorch Academy, she actually had not placed too much importance on the life here.
Probably more with the thought of just getting by, enjoying each day as it came.
She began to feel reluctant to leave.
Reluctant to leave this place, not wanting to return to that dark New Federation of the past.
“No wonder you like this place so much.”
Listening to Lynae speak, Ryuji could not help but interject.
He recalled the previous conversation with Lynae on the highway outside the academy.
At that time, when Lynae was introducing the academy to Ryuji and Rover, her tone had been full of joy and pride.
“Mm.”
Lynae did not conceal her thoughts at all, heavily nodded, stood up, and stretched her hand toward the window.
“Every day here has been very happy. Indulging in smearing colors, carefreely racing and taking drives, absorbing knowledge from different countries all over the world…”
Toward the end, Lynae slightly lowered her head, her tone a bit heavy.
“In the past, these were things I did not even dare to think about.”
After speaking, she raised her head again and looked toward the “sky” of Lahai-Roi.
“This place is clearly underground in an icy plain, yet it is brighter and freer than any place I have walked through.”
After speaking, Lynae could not help but reveal a smile.
“Woo…”
At this time, the Divine Dog beside Ryuji walked toward Lynae’s direction, and finally lay down on the ground.
Sensing the goodwill of this fluffy fellow, Lynae smiled and stroked its soft fur.
“I want to know, the criminal records in the previous anonymous report… exactly which ‘Lynae’ do they belong to?” Rover opened her mouth at this time.
What she was referring to were the matters those investigators had suspected when the academy previously sent people to take Lynae away.
And it had been said before that there had also been a Lynae in Fractsidus in the past.
So Rover wanted to know whether the criminal records the academy had uncovered belonged to that previous one from Fractsidus, or to this friend of hers in front of her…
“They belong to the Fractsidus ‘Lynae.'”
Lynae said with her back to Rover.
“When I faked my own death and chose to become a student of Startorch Academy, the ‘mercenary’ files were destroyed by the New Federation government.”
These words of Lynae proved in front of Rover that she was indeed innocent, but…
“Looking at it this way it’s a bit funny. My own files were destroyed, the files at school are false… even I myself have no way to prove that I am me anymore.”
Lynae finally revealed a bitter smile.
Her tone was full of helplessness.
Hearing this, Ryuji also knew what the outcome of the other party previously being investigated by the academy was.
Since the current Lynae was bearing the files of the Fractsidus ‘Lynae’ who had criminal records, then the academy would definitely give her a disposition in the end, or even… Get faster updates on novelping.com.
“Just earlier, I was informed by the academy of the academy’s disposition result.”
As Lynae spoke she slowly walked from in front of the window to the dormitory doorway.
“Expulsion, and repatriation to the New Federation.”
After speaking, she turned her head back to look at Rover and Ryuji.
There seemed to be a slight glimmer of tears in her eyes.
“But I don’t want to go back, so before being confined by the academy’s strong force, this is my last chance to escape.”
After speaking, she once again looked toward the iron door in front of her.
To be honest, Ryuji did not feel any rejection toward Lynae’s choice.
If the other party continued waiting and was repatriated to the New Federation, she would probably return to the previous mode of survival.
It is hard to go from luxury back to frugality.
Lynae, who had grown accustomed to the sunshine of Startorch Academy, definitely did not want to go back.
“In the end being able to meet you two friends, Ryuji and Rover, I am very happy.”
Finally, Lynae made her signature sunny smile.
Just like when she had first met Ryuji and Rover.
Buzz!
Buzz!
Buzz!
Just as Lynae was preparing to step out of the dormitory door, the dormitory broadcast suddenly rang out.
“Attention all faculty and students! Void Matter Magnetic Storm reaction detected, please quickly seek safe cover!”
Hearing this sound, Ryuji and Rover immediately stood up and looked out the window.
“It’s Voidworm. It did not go to the research institute, but is instead heading toward the academy.” Rover said with furrowed brows.
In other words, she and Lynae had been played earlier.
At this time the academy’s defensive capabilities were almost all concentrated inside the research institute.
There was simply no time to support the academy now.
“We have to lead it away.”
Rover glanced at the Tacet Mark in her hand, then turned around toward the dormitory door.
“Lynae?”
She discovered that Lynae had already left at some unknown time.
