In the blink of an eye, more than a month has passed since the New Year, and the final competition of Jialan Academy has also ended, thus entering a long two-month vacation.

However, the results of this big competition surprised many people.

Because of Seraf's presence, almost all of the students were not in class in the second half of the semester, so it is predictable how bad their grades will be...... However, in fact, the results exceeded the expectations of the teachers - not that they were excellent, but that they were in a comical state.

Needless to say, the results on the paper are the worst in the past, and even the young men with excellent grades in previous years can only reach the passing line.

This is not surprising, after all, most of the knowledge needs to be memorized and reviewed repeatedly, but for this year's Jialan students, their spare time is basically soaked in Seraf, where is the ghost time to review textbook knowledge......

But on the contrary, in terms of skill application and actual combat investigation, both the magic department, the combat department, and the non-combat department have uniformly performed a level far beyond previous years.

Needless to say, the magic department and the combat department, experiments, battles, and skill applications are similar to the content of the Seraf training ground, and the students usually practice repeatedly, and it is natural that they perform well in the assessment, but the performance of the non-combat scientists is also surprising.

For example, a few business school students who had turned in blank papers perfected the tactics of bundling consumption and hunger marketing in a trading simulation, and a few prickly heads who fell asleep in a geographic exam could roughly deduce its age and location range from the patterns on a few stones...... Putting aside the possibility of young people being grandstanding, the knowledge has indeed become the ability to be integrated into the blood, and this phenomenon that usually happens to "geniuses" has appeared on such a large scale, which is the first time in Jialan.

Although these geniuses are somewhat unconventional and thorny......

This was a happy annoyance for Principal William, who needed to devise new methods of assessment to ensure that the college did not bury students who were truly capable or make them overly despise the importance of textbooks......

So whenever he was busy, he would think of the initiator of all this, and then let out a hateful but helpless sigh.

"Damn it!"

……

……

"Ahh

Mu Yan sneezed, rubbed his nose, and wrapped his windbreaker tightly.

"Surya must have missed me......"

He thought, and then pushed open the door to the apartment.

"Huh?"

There sat a fellow in the room who was both familiar and strange, familiar because he had seen each other twice, or had caught his perception twice, and strange because the two had hardly ever spoken......

"Your Excellency?"

Gotik stood up tremblingly.

"Hello, Your Excellency Mu Yan, my name is Gotic, and I am a spice merchant......"

"Hello ......"

Mu Yan didn't know why, why did the other party come here?

"It was Mr. Zaix who brought me here......"

Oh, Mr. Zha......

Wait, what's not quite right?

Zha teacher?

Mu Yan was suddenly taken aback, how could this guy know the name of Teacher Zha when he was dormant in the Baiyan Mine? Did Mr. Zha tell him? But why did he do it?

Mu Yan was surprised here, and the momentum was released involuntarily, Gotik was already keenly sensitive, and when he was stimulated by this, his legs suddenly fell to the ground with weakness, and his face became even paler.

"Yes, it's him...... Lord Zayx...... I didn't expect to meet him either......"

"'My lord'?"

This title is really interesting, Mu Yan has basically confirmed that the other party knows the true identity of Teacher Zha, so he behaves so respectfully and fearfully, and calls him "adult".

"Since he brought you back, what about the man?"

"Your Excellency, he's going to retrieve something...... He...... He was worried about me ......"

"Oh?" Mu Yan showed a hint of a smile.

"Is he worried about your safety, or is he afraid that you will be dishonest?"

Although he didn't know what was happening, he already understood that this Mr. Gotik's panic was probably half faked. The words are ambiguous, but the meaning goes in two directions. If it is the former, it means that he is in danger and needs to be protected, and if it is the latter, it means that even in the eyes of Teacher Zha, he is a person to deal with, and he also needs to be strictly guarded.

Either way, it's a hint at his importance.

Since he is an important person, the treatment must not be bad, and there is no doubt that this is the best decision that a small person can make when his own fate cannot be controlled and the situation is not yet clear.

So it's an interesting person.

……

Seeing that his careful thoughts were pierced by the other party, Gotick's expression was slightly restrained, although he still looked timid, but he was not so trembling.

After chatting casually, Mu Yan was surprised to find that this guy turned out to be Seraf's largest raw material supplier, and the wing phosphorus powder of the original batch of yellow-striped spotted butterflies came from this guy...... What's even more interesting is that the bomb that was poured into the statue in advance on the night of the celebration was also the raw material he provided......

"Listen to your accent...... It seems to be the Morning Star, and it's from the Hilde Hills? Mu Yan said curiously: "I remember that the yellow-veined spotted butterfly there has long been extinct due to overcapture...... How do you get tons of phosphospho? Even the people of Kane's Horn aren't that capable......"

"A little bit...... Insignificant little means. Gotik rubbed his fingers and smiled flatteringly. The proportion of females in the yellow-striped butterfly is less than one-twentieth, so a large number of males can be caught by magnifying the pheromones produced by females during estrus tenfold...... No, nothing difficult. ”

"But you have to find a way to multiply them, and even magnifying pheromones a hundred times on the outskirts of Falan City won't attract ten bugs. Of course...... If this involves trade secrets, I didn't ask. ”

"Hmm...... Thank you for your understanding......" Gotick retracted into the corner of the couch and said nothing.

It didn't take long for Mr. Zha to come back in the dust. As soon as he entered, Gotick bounced up like a mouse at the sight of a cat, and then prostrate respectfully on the ground.

"Lord Zaix!"

"Okay, okay, there's no need to do that now."

Teacher Zha looked a little restrained, and his face was somewhat embarrassed when he was publicly executed, especially when Mu Yan watched this scene with interest, his embarrassment was even stronger.

"Ahem...... You should be curious," he quickly changed the subject, and raised his chin at Gotik.

"Come, show you as you are."

"Huh?" Gotik was startled, and his expression suddenly became a little embarrassed, "That's it...... No, not very well......"

"Shall I do it myself?"

"Don't, don't! How can I do it for you......"

Gotik was about to cry, so he hurriedly stood up, gritted his teeth, and began to "transform".

There are no lengthy spells and flashy special effects, he is like a hen laying eggs, and as soon as he stomps his feet, the whole person suddenly becomes a different look.

Mu Yan was still wondering what this guy would become at first, but then he opened his mouth wide, enough to fit it into the size of a fist.

It's also too ...... It's hard to put into words.
