Chapter 29 Hmm with Hip Hip Hip Hip

Oops!

Having just come out in too much of a hurry, Saul just casually picked up things, and the side of the 3D coordinates with the word map was exposed.

"Hmm~"

This time the nasal voice inflected, smelling of supplication.

A second level apprentice, seeing something of interest, didn't grab it hard, just expressed the plea.

Very ... expressively expressed the claim.

Sighing in his heart, Saul turned toward the harmless and extremely low presence looking apprentice and whispered, "Elder, it's almost eight o'clock now, why don't we go back to the West Tower dormitory area and talk about it?"

"Uh-huh!"

A short and pleasant voice rang out.

Saul walked quickly back to the West Tower, while the second level apprentice followed close behind him.

Quiet and silent, and with little presence.

Like a back spirit.

Most of the apprentices were back by the time Saul returned to the Sitar dormitory.

Like a convention, not many would be stranded in the East Tower after eight o'clock, but they wouldn't be back too early either.

At this moment, it was the busiest time in the West Tower dormitory area, and even some of the veteran first level apprentices who lived on the sixth floor would come out to take a breath of fresh air.

There was no other reason, the pressure was too much.

The living environment is such a small wizard tower, less than the second level, even the opportunity to go out is less.

Whenever the end of a day of dizzying studies, the moment when you just returned to the dormitory area was the most exhausting and relaxing moment for everyone.

Saul had hardly ever seen apprentices like this.

This was because whenever he returned to the dormitory, he just bored straight in and never lingered outside.

But today seemed to be extraordinarily lively.

"Saul!" Korrie leaned on the doorway of her dormitory, seemingly waiting for Saul.

Seeing someone, she took two steps forward, a little upset.

"How come you weren't at the Mutual Aid party?"

Sol blinked.

"I forgot."

He'd really forgotten.

At first, it was the discovery of the three-dimensional axes, when he was too preoccupied with research to care about the passage of time, and later, when he was so bent out of shape by the multitude of jobs that he almost didn't make it back to the East Tower in time.

In this state, how could he be in the mood to remember a single moment of any mutual aid society?

"I only went because I heard Dozer say you'd be there." Kagome pouted, her expression much richer than usual.

"I only said to consider it ..."

"I knew Dozer was unreliable." Kagome made an angry face, but quickly recovered and even smiled, "That support group was pretty fun though. Everyone discussing together really made me figure out issues I hadn't thought about before, hee hee hee ..."

Saul looked over at Kori creepily.

Korie was furious by Saul's gaze and hurriedly looked down to examine herself, "What are you looking at me like that for?"

Saul touched his arm, he had just felt suddenly creeped out when Kori laughed, and now the goosebumps hadn't even gone down yet.

"Why are you smiling like that?" Saul simply asked.

"Laughing?" Korrie subconsciously touched her face, "Why am I laughing?"

"Just ..."

"Hee hee hee ..."

Sol and Korie turned around at the same time and saw that not far away, the girl who lived diagonally across the street from them was laughing and talking to Dozer.

"... Hee hee hee hee."

Dozer seemed to have heard something funny and started laughing as well.

Sol only felt that the atmosphere of the entire dormitory area had become strange.

He looked into the distance again, did all the new apprentices in the corridor run out? Why are there so many people?

"Hee hee hee."

"Hee hee hee ..."

Seemingly normal, but actually bizarre smiles rang through the corridors from time to time.

Saul's gaze finally landed on Kori in front of him.

"Hee hee hee." She was still gazing over at Dozer as if she heard something funny and laughed along.

"Korie!" Sol slapped Kori almost on the side of the head.

"Ah!" Kori was slapped silly, "What are you doing?"

Saul didn't know how to explain it, but he always felt that he couldn't let Korrie keep laughing like that.

Saul pulled Korrie and dug into his quarters.

Korrie entered Saul's dorm for the first time and took one look at Saul's desk.

It was true that schoolboys were still more interested in studying.

Saul had just closed the door when he remembered that the senior who didn't have much presence was still behind him.

He wanted to open the door and invite the senior in, but when he looked up, he realized that the senior who could only say "hmm" had already stood behind Korrie. Keri was now looking at Saul's desk with a curious expression, but she was just holding back from going through it.

But that senior came behind Kagome, suddenly lowered his head, and his mouth was like a retractable hose, stretching out a dozen centimeters and sticking to the top of Kagome's head.

And yet, Kagome was still staring intently at Saul's desk as if she hadn't felt anything.

"Hokage, don't!"

Korie heard Saul exclaim and hurriedly turned around, only to see an older man standing behind her at some point.

That uncle's long worm-like mouth seemed to be stuck on her head.

Although Korrie was usually a proud and calm little girl, she was scared stiff when she saw someone's mouth on her head.

When she tried to move again, she realized she couldn't.

"Saul ... Saul ..." the little girl, who was only twelve years old, asked Saul for help in a trembling voice.

Saul just wanted to go forward, saw that the senior shook his head at Saul.

"Hmm~"

There was also a wave of rejection sounds.

"Gulp."

As if something was being sucked out of Kagome's brain's, the hose-like mouth apparently had a bump moving from Kagome's head all the way to the Hokage's mouth.

Only after that did the Hokage retract his grotesquely long mouth, wipe it with the back of his hand, and nod at Sol.

"Hmm!"

Saul's first reaction was that the senior was telling him that there was no problem.

Kori had been frozen in place ever since the Hokage withdrew his mouth, his face growing darker and worse.

"Shaded." She raised a hand to touch the top of her head, there were two small cuts that only stung slightly when touched.

Kagome returned to her senses and bowed respectfully to the Hokage who had saved her life.

"Thank you so much."

The Hokage, however, ignored Kagome and nodded his chin at Sol.

"Uh-huh."

Sol respectfully handed the drawing in his hand to the Hokage.

Anyway, this senior had already seen the drawings, so even if Saul didn't give them, the other party would have no difficulty in trying to grab them.

Furthermore, he made a move to help Keri.

And Kerri had helped Saul.

"Senpai, those people out there, are you going to help?" Saul asked tentatively.

The Hokage shook his head in indifference as he looked at the drawings Saul handed him.

Receiving a negative answer, Saul instead breathed a sigh of relief.

It wasn't that he was much of an enthusiast, but he was actually afraid that this senior was a good old boy.

Now, it seemed that the other party saving Korrie was more of an exchange of benefits.

If it wasn't for Saul showing how much he valued Korie, the senior probably wouldn't have even made a move.

This was good, Saul liked exchanging benefits and didn't like owing favors.

"If the senior likes it, I can explain the principles of this thing to you."

Since the drawings had already been given out, Saul didn't care to talk more about it. He believed that a second level apprentice would be able to figure out the basic principles of this drawing sooner or later.

Since the other party also liked to exchange benefits, then Saul didn't mind playing his rare bottom card first.

That way, his bottom card would not lose its value so quickly.

The silent senior did not refuse, and Saul directly pulled him and Keri to the long table, briefly explaining the concept of coordinate axes and how they were applied.

After the brief few words were spoken, the room was quiet for a moment.

The Hokage's mouth suddenly opened wide.

His mouth was as stretchable as rubber, and there was still room for a whole arm to fit inside.

Then he really reached in and pulled out a pamphlet from inside his mouth.

There were a few messy words on the pamphlet.

Byron's study notes.

"Schoolteacher, named Byron?"

Senior Byron nodded, and after a moment's hesitation, he pulled another sharp dagger from his mouth and casually sliced a five centimeter gash in his neck.

Dark red blood gurgled out.

Neither Thor nor Korie expected this.

What's going on here?

Performing a self-slaughter on the spot?

Who knew that underneath that wound there was a struggle to reveal a mouthful of large yellow teeth and a thick tongue.

"Mutual aid parasites don't hurt lives." A raspy voice rang out, as if it hadn't spoken in a long, long time, "But it's no good either, so stay away and mind your own business."

From the moment Byron began to speak, his wounds were healing, and by the time he finished the last word, the wounds were gone, leaving only a line of blood that spread from his neck to his chest.
