Chapter 124 New Activities in the School Year
The rose garden of Goletia College, which was once hidden in a corner and ignored by everyone, is now bustling with activity.
Roses originally had a short flowering period, blooming only in spring, but a magician in the academy used magical powers to make them bloom all the time. Not only are there reds as hot as flames and yellows as bright as the sun, but there are also a variety of new colors cultivated by magic. They grow lushly, crowded together and almost spread to the roadside. Every person who passes by will have their clothes gently brushed by them, as if they were playing with humans.
This dreamlike scene not only attracted students on campus, but also some residents in the city. They took advantage of the college's open day on weekends to bring their lovers or families to appreciate this magnificent spectacle.
If you avoid the lively fountain in the center and walk along the gravel path inside, you can see a small building made of bluestone. The outer wall is covered with mottled lines left by the years, and the architectural style looks very old. Fortunately, the colorful flowers around it and the ivy climbing up the wall add a touch of vitality to it.
"What do you think, Catherine? If there are no problems, we will start promoting and accepting applications from next month?" In a meeting room on the first floor of the small building, boys and girls gathered together to talk about activity planning for the new semester.
The silver-haired girl looked at the manuscript in front of her intently, her silver eyes quickly scanning the lines, then nodded and smiled gently at the person who was speaking, "I think there is no problem, it's well done, thank you for your hard work."
"However, if we want to build the competition venue ourselves, the remaining funds from last time will definitely not be enough." Lulu said with some distress.
"That's Lilith's job. She's been lazy for long enough. It's time for her to do something." Catherine smiled.
"Great, don't worry Catherine, I'll bring her here right away!" Lulu took the manuscript handed over by Catherine and went out with Winnie Sean with high morale.
A few people had just made way for them when a huge bouquet of roses was pushed in front of Catherine, and the rich fragrance filled her face.
"Catherine! For you!" The dark-skinned boy held a big bunch of roses, his fangs showing when he smiled, his big eyes blinking like a cat. It was Neva.
"...Thank you." Catherine raised her hand and gently touched the half-white and half-blue petals, her eyes revealing pity. "This is the color that Lilith specially cultivated. She doesn't like others to pick them at will."
"Is it not okay to give it to you?" Neva tilted his head in confusion, "Aren't you good friends?"
Catherine didn't want to say more to him, she just picked up the pen and said, "Your Highness Neva, I have to work."
"Oh..." Neva drooped his eyes in disappointment, "Crown Prince who is obsessed with work, I can already foresee our boring married life."
Catherine almost cut the manuscript in her hand in two.
She took a deep breath calmly and said, "Don't worry about this. I am not considering marriage for the time being, especially cross-border marriage."
"Oh..." Neva just nodded and said, "I don't necessarily want the position of the king's husband..."
Catherine changed the paper.
"A lover is fine too." Neva leaned on the table and smiled innocently. He would not bother with his brother.
With a "click", Catherine accidentally tore the paper in her hand.
"Catherine!!" The door of the conference room was slammed open, and Lilith rushed in, interrupting Catherine's swear words that were about to come out.
Catherine asked in surprise, "Lulu caught you so quickly?"
"Ah? No, I came here by myself." Lilith waved her hands. "You'll never guess what Lucas did. I was wondering how the city residents knew about the rose garden, which is so remote. But it turns out that he was selling tickets in the city! He even threatened people that if they entered without a ticket, they would be cursed by the witch in the garden!"
Lilith took out a string of money and threw it on the table.
Catherine raised her eyebrows, "What is this?"
"I beat him up. This is the ticket money he collected. He used the witch to scare others, so of course the money should be given to the witch." Lilith said as a matter of course.
Catherine laughed, and looking at the string of money reminded her of something important. "I want to talk to you about something, about this school year's team competition..."
"Confrontation? Competition?" Neva's eyes lit up after being left out. He looked at Catherine expectantly, "Is it a life-or-death contest?"
"This competition is only open to seniors. We need to talk business, Neva." Catherine directly ordered them to leave.
Neva did not feel embarrassed at all. He stood up from the chair he was sitting on, saluted to Catherine with a smile, and jumped out of the window through which he came in swiftly and silently.
"What are you thinking about, Catherine?" Lilith found a seat and sat down at random. Looking at Catherine who was staring at the roses in deep thought, she asked, "Didn't you say you had something to talk to her about?"
"I was thinking about the possible disputes between the two countries if something happened to the royal family of Mulete on Gaia..." Catherine admired the beautiful flowers with a calm tone.
Hiss—how did my lovely Catherine turn evil? Lilith quickly moved three stools forward and sat close to Catherine.
"Hey, calm down, Princess!" Lilith quickly changed the subject to work, "That competition, yes! Let's talk about that competition...what was it?" Lilith knew nothing about the work of the Student Union.
Catherine then turned her thoughts around and glared at Lilith. "It's the fall school year event. We plan to organize a competition. Magic students and guardians will sign up to participate. They will cooperate with each other and fight against each other in the competition. They will also have to fight against other dangers in the venue. The first one to complete the goal or the last one to be eliminated will receive generous prizes."
"Oh, PVPVE, that sounds interesting." Lilith touched her chin and imagined the fantasy scene of magic duel.
"...The first person to complete the goal or the last person to be eliminated will receive generous prizes." Catherine stared at Lilith and repeated the last sentence again, emphasizing the last few words.
"-Oh oh!" Lilith stayed in Catherine's gaze for two seconds, and finally understood, nodding repeatedly, "Of course! How about the prize being two magic stones per person?" Last weekend, a cart of magic stones was sent to her from Tandin County. Lilith was now numb to these things. She used to be so worried that she kept them close to her, but now she just let them pile up in the cellar.
"Isn't it too extravagant?" Catherine's eyes widened. She didn't expect her friend to be so generous now. She originally thought that some gold coins or magic potions would be good enough.
"Only sufficiently generous rewards can motivate people to participate." Lily didn't care at all.
"We may also need to build a venue and a viewing platform so that younger students can observe the collaboration and cooperation of senior students and accumulate experience."
"Well..." Lilith thought. The only foreman she knew in the city was Scott, but to be honest, she was not very satisfied with that slippery guy. Maybe she needed to look for someone else. "I'll keep an eye out for you."
Katherine nodded, then thought of something else, "Did you do the homework that Mrs. Terra assigned?"
Lilith's face twisted instantly. "You mean feeding the cockroaches? I don't think they're that easy to die..."
