Astartes of the Bear School

Chapter 667 669. Nervousness

 “Don’t need a waitress?”

"unnecessary."

“You don’t need an apprentice from the academy?”

"unnecessary."

 “Banquet and fine wine?”

“Just let me rest quietly, Tissaya? I need this right now.”

"Okay." Tissaya nodded somewhat unexpectedly, "You are really beyond my experience."

 Lan En stood up and walked outside the dean's office. But after opening the door, he paused.

 “Tissaya, I have a suggestion.”

"What?"

“Can you please remove this when you are alone with me?”

 Lan En tapped his fingers on his face, his expression awkward.

 “This makes me feel a little, uh, weird.”

 “Okay, I understand.”

Tisaya nodded solemnly against Margarita's face.

 That's why Lan En felt weird.

 He always felt that Margarita looked weird with this expression.

—

 Lan En was not able to rest for a long time in Arethusa. In fact, he spent a day replenishing the potions, bombs, and herbal raw materials in his alchemy leather bag, and then left immediately.

After staying in the fierce and long war for a long time, he told Tissaya that he just needed to take a good rest.

 But in fact, he seems to have lost the ability to rest quietly. I feel inexplicably irritable and anxious when I have nothing to do.

 The slightest sound would make him tense his muscles in alarm.

So, although the Lady of the Lake did not urge directly through the cone crystal, Lan still moved towards Vizima.

 He knew this state was abnormal, but he couldn't calm himself down.

Perhaps if you work at a low intensity for a while, you can improve?

 Lan En thought so in his heart.

The memories of the Emperor's Children's battlefields gave him experience, but he still had to experience the feeling and adaptation to setting foot on the battlefield for the first time.

 Another week after Lann left, Margarita finally returned to Aretussa.

Staff at all levels in Arethusa expressed their admiration and congratulations to 'Lady Tissaya' for her outstanding performance in the war.

 But because they understood Tissaya’s character, they did not go to great lengths to hold a welcome banquet.

If it were normal, Margarita would definitely be dissatisfied with this arrangement that lacked a lot of fun, but now she was anxious and tired.

As soon as Margarita stepped into the door of the dean's office with Tisaya's face in her face, she turned around and closed it, and she breathed a sigh of relief. The illusion on her face faded, and her face and hair color returned to their original appearance.

Sitting behind her desk, Tissaya also allowed herself to shed her student appearance.

 “Where’s Lan En? Where is he now?”

Before she could sit down, Margarita hurriedly asked her teacher.

 “He has left,” Tissaya calmly arranged the placement of files on the desktop. "Left a week ago."

Margarita’s eyes suddenly widened. "No. You didn't ask him to wait for me to come back? No. At least he relaxed, right? Did the things I arranged for him before I left make him feel better?"

"I told him all about the hot springs and prostitutes you arranged, but" Tissaya shook her head. "In fact, he never went there at all. He only spent one day preparing supplies and then left."

 “He just came off the battlefield!” Margarita rarely lost her temper at Tisaya and yelled.

"Why didn't you stop him? He must be very nervous now! He needs comfort and company."

 “I stopped him?” Tissaya was not distracted by Margarita’s anger and remained restrained and rational.

"You mean, you want me to force someone who is nervous, who may be able to fight back under conditioned reflexes, and who has the combat power to wipe out the entire Nilfgaardian mixed division by myself, to stay in the academy?! "

“Do you want the entire college to be demolished the next day?”

“I also want to help him and comfort him mentally and physically, but that requires a method, Rita!”

 Speaking of this, even with Tissaya’s long life experience and experience, she still couldn’t help but rub her temples.

“This war record has been spread among mages, and it is estimated that it will take a few months for ordinary people to make waves, but”

“Let alone other mages, even I can’t believe that there are people in this world who can do this!”

“If it weren’t for the joint signatures of Foltest and Vizmir, no one would have dared to believe that the things described in this war record actually happened not long ago, like a myth.”

"Not long after this war record was circulated in the mages' communications, Arethusa's accounts in major banks received a massive flow of funds under various names. Charities, scholarships, sponsorships, who knows what those people thought of. Charity for the sorceress?”

“Many research projects in the college were also heavily funded at the same time, especially the crystal cultivation project that I led.”

"Those people who didn't even know that this project existed, after learning that I was leading this project, they just poured money into it without even saying hello. And those warlocks that I originally wanted to recruit, now they are even more I’m trying to squeeze my head in to get in.”

“I didn’t even have time to tell them the research direction of this project, but they all said: As long as it is a project led by me, it doesn’t matter anything else. I have never seen such a scene!”

 After her teacher mentioned this incident, Margarita's face suddenly looked a little strange, and she subconsciously turned her head away.

"The purest violence. I thought that human beings had stepped out of the era when violence dominated everything, and moved towards rationality and logic, at least getting closer. But now it seems that I was confused by my long life and experience. Human beings are still The look that follows violence.”

Tisaya smiled bitterly.

"I know that you don't regard Lan En as a danger, no matter how powerful he shows. I am the same as you."

"But what I want to say is that we care about him, but we must also pay attention to the method. Just like this time, can you imagine if I had forced him to stay in the academy with feelings and relationships, then his current spirit Will it make you feel any worse?"

Margarita lowered her head and remained silent.

　　Tisaya stood up from the chair behind her desk and walked over to her.

"You both have a long life to live. This war is an important time in your lives, but it is nothing more than that. Relax and learn to wait, Rita."

“Come on, come with me to visit Triss and Yennefer. They are both recovering well. Maybe the four of us can have a small drinking party in the evening.”

"But first, you have to take good care of yourself, Rita. Especially in front of Triss. What's the saying? 'The loser does not lose the team.'"

 “Huh?!” Margarita suddenly became alert. "What do you mean? What did I lose to that Bichi?!"

“No, don’t be so nervous, it’s just a saying.” Tisaya waved her hands easily, but this did not dispel Margarita’s vigilance at all.

"I'm just saying that Triss shouldn't be as easy to deal with as she was in Vizima last time. She is very determined now."

 “Heh.” Margarita sneered and straightened her long blond hair. "It seems that Merigold is very capable. Let me remind her who is the chief of that term!"
