Positive little sun, magical girl, I am awesome

Chapter 534 Is this the life you want?

- Could it be that Zephirion hadn't left at all? Was he still hanging around?

Lilith was frightened by such speculation and didn't dare to pick her nose when no one was around - who knows if that guy is peeping in the dark!

She was forced to manage her image, but fortunately this suspicious feeling did not last long. At the dinner table on Friday, Ian brought Lilith good news.

"I met Mr. Simon in Stargazing Castle."

On Friday evening, the campus was deserted. Goletia was becoming increasingly lively, and many students rushed out to have fun as soon as the gates opened. But Lilith's friends, feeling sorry for her and unable to go out, accompanied her to the cafeteria for lunch. Ian arrived late, took the empty seat next to Lilith, and said.

"Stargazing Castle?" Lilith's eyes suddenly lit up, and after tucking into a few mouthfuls of food, she turned around and ran away.

Ian was still as reliable as ever. Lilith passed through the gap between the two crooked teaching buildings. Before she reached the courtyard surrounded by the Observatory, she saw the familiar figure and shouted excitedly before she even got close.

"Teacher Simon! I think—"

Lilith slammed on the brakes and stopped there.

Well, when I got closer, I found that there was more than just Teacher Simon standing under the drooping willow tree. He was in a silent confrontation with the man opposite.

Why is Zephirion here?

"It's Lilith." Simon didn't turn around, his voice still as nonchalant as before. "Jacqueline said you haven't had tea with her in a while, and the lady is curious if you've grown taller."

Lilith looked at the person opposite her in confusion. When she heard Simon chase her away, she stammered, "Then, then I'll go now—"

"Are you qualified to order her?" The voice of the person on the other side suddenly became gloomy, which made Simon raise his eyebrows.

"--match!"

Lilith slid in between the two of them and laughed, "How can they not match? Teacher Simon! This is, this is——"

Simon's eyes darted back and forth between the two of them. He put his hands in his belt and smiled at the girl who was scratching her head in front of him. "Lilith, do you know this person?"

"Of course, of course! Hahaha!" Lilith didn't know what she was laughing at. "This is, this is my relative. He came to Goletia to visit me. Maybe, maybe he got lost--"

Simon's expression became more amused. He seemed not to notice the expression on Lilith's face. He just kept stretching out his tone: "Oh? So you're a relative. Is this gentleman your—?"

"cousin."

"son."

——What a psycho!

Lilith was almost choked by Zephirin's words and turned around to glare at him, but the other party still acted arrogantly, looking up at Simon opposite with his nose.

Tsk, who taught him to be so arrogant? It couldn't be me, could it?

"Cousin." Lilith squeezed out a voice through her teeth and introduced the person opposite to him, "This is Teacher Simon——"

"I know who he is without you introducing him." Zephirinn's pretentious spirit was still exerting its strength. He sneered at the man opposite him, his tone full of disdain. "He reeks of fish, a filthy half-blood, uh—"

Lilith gave him a direct elbow strike.

Simon, ever the gentleman, ignored the exchange of glances between the two. He finally looked at Lilith, "Goldetia has always encouraged you to explore the world and make more friends. A magician's life is long, and anyone you meet in life could become an anchor in your heart, but..."

Simon looked behind her again, obviously not reassured about the "new friends" Lilith had made.

Zephirion caught the look in his eyes and sneered again.

"Mind your own business, little devil," Zephirion warned grimly.

Little devil?! Who was he calling a little devil?! — Lilith really couldn’t stand this guy anymore. How was she going to face Teacher Simon in the future like this?!

"You are indeed a renowned elder. If not, my mother wouldn't have set up such restrictions against you—"

Simon didn't react to the other party's address, still wearing a gentle smile on his face. "But you seem to have been away from human society for too long. I thought you at least knew not to linger near the ladies' dormitories. It's very rude."

"Why is that thing so troublesome?" Zephirian's face showed a hint of irritation. "Isn't Gloria still dead?"

Lilith's jaw dropped, and the smile finally disappeared from Simon's face.

"I'm sorry to disappoint you." Simon, who usually stood like a weakling, now stood straight, his aura no less imposing than the domineering Black Dragon across from him. "You're a hero of the Holy War. I thought you'd at least consider our old friendship and not destroy this pure land. If you insist on disturbing me, Gloria will not back down."

"--Or do you insist that my mother come in person?"

Zephirian thought of that troublesome mermaid. She was better than the others, not always pestering Lilith, but she was rigid and stubborn, and he couldn't get along with her at all, not to mention her father...

A sudden flash of inspiration came to Zephirian's mind. He squinted his eyes and looked at the hybrid opposite him, a moment of hesitation in his heart.

Lilith was reborn, she became a human, and enrolled in a magic academy, living under the nose of Gloria. Could all this be a coincidence?

Zephirion's eyes became wary and cautious. He took a step forward and tried to pull Lilith behind him.

No one knew what Zephirion was thinking. He and Simon remained expressionless. Only Lilith wanted to crawl into the ground. For some reason, she felt a little embarrassed for Zephirion...

"Teacher Simon, I'm so sorry. He, he's quite outspoken. I'll take him out right away." Lilith was really shocked by his rudeness. He greeted someone's mother like that, and Teacher Simon was considered well-mannered for not hitting him!

She grabbed Zephirion and dragged him out. Zephirion in human form was tall, and Lilith had a hard time pulling him. Even after she had pulled him a long way away, he was still staring in Simon's direction, wondering what he was thinking.

When they were finally far away from people, Lilith angrily let him go.

"You are so rude!" Lilith scolded angrily. She knew a lot about the principal's physical condition from Lucas. What he said just now really hit Teacher Simon's heart. Now she was embarrassed to tell Teacher Simon that she wanted to visit the principal.

Zephirion stiffened his neck and didn't argue, but simply asked her, "Is this the life you want?"

"...What?" Lilith couldn't keep up with his fast-paced thoughts.

"Rolling in the dirt with a bunch of idiots every day, eating porridge with no visible meat, is this the life you miss? Bitter and poor?"

Lilith was stunned. She raised her hand and pointed at herself tremblingly:

"—I'm poor?"
