CHAPTER 393: Being A Role Model

At that moment, the old fey zombie with his thick, sharp claws had already charged in front of Crowley. Hearing Crowley's declaration, Han Shuo gave orders with a thought. All the undead creatures froze in an instant, demonstrating Han Shuo's extraordinary manipulation skills to the extreme.

Although Crowley was conceited and vain, he still played by the rules during the sparring. When he felt that he could easily defeat Han Shuo, he still didn't increase the speed of the Balls of Destruction to attack Han Shuo. This gave Han Shuo a good impression of him, so when Han Shuo saw him admit defeat, Han Shuo immediately made the undead creatures stop attacking.

As Crowley was confused when he saw the old fey zombie in front of him, all the undead creatures in the area suddenly disappeared after Han Shuo's long incantation. It was only when the old fey zombie that had first appeared in front of him suddenly disappeared as well that Crowley truly let out a sigh of relief.

"Mr Crowley, your power is extremely profound. I believe that most Grand Magus would be no match for you. If Mister Crowley is interested, I can help recommend you to Third Prince Lawrence, there's no harm in considering it," after sending all the undead creatures back to the netherworld, Han Shuo had gone over to the side of the dark grand magus Crowley and commented in a low voice.

Crowley's power was truly remarkable. There weren't many mages who could become Grand Magus in the Lancelot Empire, and they all held high positions. Since Crowley had returned from his travels through various lands, he would surely wish to have an illustrious status within the Empire. Such a person was a target that any power would pursue. The same was true for Lawrence, so Han Shuo invited him on Lawrence's behalf.

Crowley clearly understood the current situation of the Lancelot Empire and couldn't help but wear an uncomfortable expression. As an illegitimate child of His Majesty, Lawrence was the least supported successor. If Crowley were to follow Lawrence, there was simply no telling whether he would meet with disaster once the successor was chosen.

"Mr Crowley, I know what you fear. But some things aren't determined by outside rumours. Hehe, you are giving Lawrence some time, which can also be seen as giving yourself some time. After a few days, you can decide which power to choose." When Han Shuo saw that Crowley didn't react, he smiled and continued.

"Alright, for the honour of Count Bryan, I'll think about it for a few more days." Crowley could tell that there were hidden meanings in Han Shuo's sentence, so he hesitated for a while before answering.

Han Shuo nodded his head and smiled as he replied, "In the future, you will definitely be proud of your decision today!"

Han Shuo walked directly out of the training ground without further explanation, showing no reaction to the shock of the crowd and the cheers of the necromancy students. He first nodded his head to Amyes and Dean Emma from afar to say hello, before walking over to Fanny's group of necromancy students, smiling as he said, "Teacher Fanny, the recruitment can continue."

When Fanny saw Han Shuo walking towards her, his eyes on her from start to finish, she felt shy yet delighted and said hastily, "Let's go, everyone shouldn't stay here any longer. Let's continue with our unfinished business."

As Han Shuo and Fanny left the area together, Amyes' eyes were constantly fixed on Han Shuo's movements. It was only after Han Shuo had disappeared from the training ground that he muttered to himself while seemingly thinking about something, "That boy is still a Casanova. That teacher, why does it seem like I've seen her somewhere before..."

Dean Emma glanced at Amyes, who seemed to be deep in thought, and felt somewhat surprised. Who would have thought that Amyes' gaze was so sharp, that he seemed to remember something just by looking at Fanny. Emma was shocked and thought to herself that as one of the three heavyweights, just like Candide, Amyes really couldn't be taken lightly.

"Alright, this matter is already over, I'll take my leave as well. Hehe, Amyes, take a good walk around, it seems like you haven't been back to your alma mater for a long time". Seeing that Amyes had a look of deep thought on his face, Emma suddenly spoke as if she did not want him to realise Fanny's identity so quickly.

As one of the three heavyweights of the Empire's Dark Mantle, Amyes knew the secret affairs of every noble like the back of his hand, and Firenze on the Empire's southern border was no exception. After poring over numerous materials, Amyes had once seen information about Firenze's family. But Fanny was much younger then, and Amyes had only seen a few pictures. For him to be able to feel that someone was familiar to him just from pictures he had seen a few years ago, his memory is astonishing.

Amyes, who had been thinking deeply, had his thoughts interrupted by Emma's words. He didn't ponder any further, instead he smiled gracefully and replied, "Dean, go ahead and take care of your business, I'll just walk around casually and leave soon.

Emma smiled and nodded, a streak of white light flashing as she disappeared. After Emma left, Amyes couldn't help but glance at Crowley, who had just come out of the training area. He suddenly said, "Mister Crowley, you'd better think carefully about what Marquis Bryan just said. Hehe, as a schoolmate, I hope you make the right choice."

"Mar... Marquis?" Crowley, tasting the bitter taste of defeat, raised his head and saw that the one who spoke was Amyes. Thinking about what Amyes had just said, he couldn't help but be suspicious.

"Yes, Marquis Bryan! Just today, His Majesty has officially granted Bryan the title of Marquis. The various towns and cities surrounding Brettel City, including some of the bandit territories he has occupied, would be Marquis Bryan's territory. Besides, I'm afraid that none of the Grand Magi of equal rank would be able to defeat him. Losing to him isn't something to be ashamed of, so you shouldn't worry too much about it. Instead, you should think about what he said to you earlier. I've said my piece, it's up to you whether you listen to it or not!" Amyes smiled as he explained before leaving with two swordsmen, not waiting for Crowley's reply.

"Marquis, he's actually already a marquis!" Crowley muttered to himself before his eyes slowly brightened and he said softly to himself, "This Amyes is His Majesty's Hand of Darkness and surely knows of certain things. It seems that I have gained something from this trip back to school, apart from being defeated. I need to think things through.

While Crowley was still considering which power to join, Han Shuo and Fanny's party had already reached the Necromancy Major's area. With Han Shuo supervising the Necromancy Major, the recruitment of the Necromancy Major was incomparably smooth. In the end, there were actually more than fifty students who joined the necromancy major. Among them, there were more than ten who had excellent mental strength, far surpassing the other majors.

"Haha, this is great. According to our academy's rules, as long as the number of students in a major exceeds one hundred, the major can become a completely independent and self-sufficient major. Teacher Fanny, our current enrollment is one hundred and thirty-two, and we can definitely apply to the dean to be independent of the dark major," Gene couldn't help but laugh out loud after tidying up all the documents.

When she heard Gene's statement, Fanny was also delighted and smiled as she said, "That's right. Our Necromancy Major can now become completely independent and no longer be part of the Dark Major. That shouldn't be a problem!"

"Great, I have long since had enough of the faces of those guys in the Dark Major. In the future, we will no longer have to mix with them. Our necromancy major would be just that, a necromancy major, not a branch of another major." Lisa was extremely excited as she shouted loudly.

Lisa's voice was extremely loud and could be heard in the distance. The Dark Major wasn't far from the Necromancy Major, and the Dark Major's instructor, Deo, clearly heard Lisa's intentional scream. However, Han Shuo was currently with the Necromancy Major, and Crowley had just been defeated by Han Shuo. Furthermore, Deo learned from Crowley that Han Shuo had already become a Marquis. This made Deo even more afraid of provoking Han Shuo. Although he was extremely unhappy, he didn't dare to react.

Amidst the cheers of everyone in the Necromancy Major, the two instructors, Fanny and Gene, led the newly accepted students to the Necromancy Major for the relevant procedures. When they reached the necromancy major's area, Gene took charge while Han Shuo followed Fanny, talking a little about the nature of necromancy magic in the necromancy major's practice ground and helping to clear up some of the students' problematic doubts.

Having studied necromancy to the rank of Grand Magus Necromancer, Han Shuo's theoretical and practical knowledge far surpassed Fanny's. His understanding of necromancy magic was also much higher. Many questions that Gene and Fanny couldn't explain became easy when they reached Han Shuo.

After that, even Gene, who had finished his work, came over. After hesitating for a while, Gene also asked Han Shuo a few questions that he usually came across. The atmosphere in the Necromancy Major was harmonious, and Han Shuo's existence brought hope to both the new and existing students of the Necromancy Major.

It seemed that from that moment on, the Necromancy Major who had always had a small and weak image no longer existed. With Han Shuo's astronomical rise in the ranks of the Empire, the Major of Necromancy also rose in tandem within the Babylon Academy of Magic and Strength, gradually developing its own sense of proportion and breaking free from the long-standing dependent relationship with the Major of Darkness.

It was only when the skies began to darken that Fanny and Gene ordered everyone to disperse. Towards the end, when even Gene had left, Lisa hesitated for a moment and stared at Han Shuo as she asked, "Bryan, if I want to look for you, can I find you at your residence?"

"Of course. If you are free, you can come and look for me anytime. Hehe, of course I won't be at my residence most of the time. If you can't find me, please don't blame me." Han Shuo smiled as he replied.

"Hehehe, as long as you agree. Alright, I'll go first. Teacher Fanny, Bryan is extremely popular these days, you need to watch him closely!" Lisa smiled happily before winking at Fanny, who made a funny face before leaving.

After Lisa left, Fanny's charming face was flushed. She looked lovingly at Han Shuo and said, "Bryan, thank you. I didn't think you'd stop by today."

"I just happen to be free, and no matter what, I have to give you a face. Right, if you really want to thank me, you shouldn't just use words. I generally prefer people to express themselves through their actions." Han Shuo laughed slyly and beamed at Fanny as he replied.

Fanny rolled her eyes resentfully at Han Shuo before hesitating for a moment and whispering, "In that case, how do you want me to show my gratitude?"

Suddenly, Han Shuo had already appeared in front of Fanny, lowering his head as he looked at Fanny whose blush had spread to her neck, extending a finger and pointing at his lips, chuckling as he said, "Take the initiative to kiss me once, that can be considered a sign of gratitude!"

"You, you brat. You have already become a high-ranking noble, why have you still not changed your lecherous heart!" Fanny blushed, unable to resist pounding Han Shuo's chest with her fist as she playfully sulked.

"Come on, who asked Teacher to be so beautiful and seductive? Hehehe, my soul has already been captured by you. If I can't flirt with you, who can I flirt with?" Han Shuo flippantly moved his lips towards Fanny and continued to tease Fanny.

Fanny's current mood was unprecedentedly good, and she also really liked Han Shuo. After acting shy for a while, she finally could not resist Han Shuo and blushed as she superficially kissed Han Shuo's lips.

However, when Fanny moved away, Han Shuo hugged her and kissed her forcibly. Out of Han Shuo's expectation, Fanny soon responded passionately, giving Han Shuo a carefree, uninhibited and breathtaking feeling. Overwhelmed by Fanny's response, Han Shuo's hands began to move dishonestly again, wandering around Fanny's beautiful body.

Only when Fanny was kissed until she was out of breath and her body was incomparably hot did she moan softly as she pushed Han Shuo away to catch her breath. Still blushing, she moved further away from Han Shuo, calming her rapidly heaving breasts. Then she said tenderly, "Bryan, my father will reach Ossen City soon. If you don't meet him this time, he said he would lead his troops to attack Brettel City!"

Hearing this, Han Shuo suddenly sobered up as if a bucket of cold water had been poured over him. He knitted his brows and forced a smile as he asked Fanny, "You told your father my identity?"

Nodding her head, Fanny hastily explained, "He kept asking, even investigating. I only told him when I knew there was no way we could hide it any longer. Besides, you may not know my father's identity. I don't want you to think he's joking. My father is different from other people, he can do anything".

"I know, your father is the true lord in the eyes of the people on the southern border, the Howling Legion's Firenze ?" Han Shuo took a deep breath before he looked at Fanny and replied.

"How, how did you find out? When did you find out?" Fanny was shocked as she cried out slightly.

"A few days ago. When I had just returned from Brettel City, Dean Emma told me when I came to look for you." Han Shuo honestly explained to Fanny before he reluctantly replied, "Alright, when your father arrives, I'll go with you to meet him."

Han Shuo knew that since Firenze was clear about his origin as well as his relationship with Fanny, Han Shuo could forget about avoiding him. At the moment, Han Shuo was already under pressure from Emily and Phoebe. He didn't know what they were talking about and even now, they still hadn't come out of the room. Adding Fanny into the equation, once the three of them knew each other, he wasn't sure what problems could arise.

Emily was the daughter-in-law of the Betteridge family, her older brother was one of the three heavyweights, Amyes. Behind Phoebe was the Sacred Swordsmaster Karel, while Fanny's father, Firenze, was a well-known madman, someone you didn't want to provoke. Han Shuo's head ached at the thought of what he might have to endure once the matter was thoroughly exposed.

"Don't worry, my father treats me the best. He wouldn't do anything to you. Besides, you might just be the type my father likes. Hehe, you don't need to worry." Fanny thought that Han Shuo was worried about her father, so she couldn't help but laugh as she explained.

Han Shuo smiled bitterly as he nodded before saying, "Alright, I understand. It's getting late, I have to go."

"Ok, I'll send you on your way." When Fanny knew that Han Shuo had agreed to meet her father, her mood improved considerably. She cheerfully walked over to Han Shuo, blushing as she tiptoed over and gently kissed Han Shuo's cheek before pulling the smitten Han Shuo along as she said, "Let's go, I'll see you out."

Han Shuo, who had just been kissed by Fanny, suddenly made up his mind. No matter what happened in the future, as long as Fanny was willing to be with him, no matter if it was Firenze, Sacred Swordmaster Karel or Amyes, no one should think of interfering in his affairs. If a peaceful solution couldn't be found, he wouldn't hesitate to use force to settle the matter.

Han Shuo steeled his heart and was no longer agonised, deciding to just deal with things as they came. He talked and laughed with Fanny as they left the academy.

"Alright, I'll say goodbye." Han Shuo turned and smiled at Fanny before heading back to his own residence.

After Han Shuo left, Fanny returned to the Necromancy Major alone. On the way, Amyes happened to be leaving and happened to see Fanny. When Amyes saw Fanny again, the sense of familiarity grew stronger. He knitted his brows as he watched Fanny disappear into the distance. After a moment of serious thought, Amyes suddenly began to murmur softly, "Could it really be that madman's daughter?"

"Sir, what's wrong?" inquired one of the swordsmen beside Amyes.

"No, nothing's wrong. Come, let's return to the Dark Mantle quickly, I have some things to investigate". Amyes replied, suddenly quickening his pace.
