Chapter 191 191 - It's done [R18]
When Ryan returned to the gym, unexpected news broke. As soon as he arrived in his room, there were two letters for him.
"I left it on the workbench, I didn't get to open it or look at it much," said Olivia, who was studying at her desk in the living room.
As Ryan got closer, he noticed one of the stamps on the cards from a distance. It was undoubtedly the mark of an official Neodrazzil Travelers Academy letter. Sighing, he took the letter in his hand and opened it.
"Dear Ryan Whitemane, our university appreciates your attendance and support in your roles with the guild. However, your class attendance score is dropping to a level that is already a little hard to ignore. Please come and talk to me, Sincerely Wu Hao"
"I had warned you about this weeks ago," said Olivia, who kept writing in a notebook.
"It's not my fault that the compulsory classes are so irrelevant, I already understand most of the magic systems," he said, irritated.
"Anyway, go to the administration building and sort it out. The sooner, the better," Olivia concluded.
"All right, I'm going," Ryan said, grabbing the letter as he opened the window. With a leap, he activated his wings and flew to the administration building.

"The letter to Ryan was sent today, Miss Margareth," said Hao, who was wearing a worried smile. Again, he was settling into his chair as if he were hiding.
Madame Wright was sitting in the other chair, wearing her witch's hat and robe. She was smiling, although she had a dangerous look in her eyes that only Hao could understand.
"Aren't you going out?" asked the main man, confused.
The old woman just shook her head. "That boy will show up soon."
* Knock Knock
"Come in," said Margareth Wright.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtHao's secretary then opened the door and held out her arms inviting Ryan in. She then closed the door and left the room. Ryan's steps were heavy, but he seemed calm. There was still a little fire burning in his shoulders, and with two slaps he put out the energy that was still burning.
"Hello Mr. Hao, Ms. Margareth. I saw the letter you sent me, I was wondering if there was any possibility of resolving my absences," said Ryan, who was alternating his gaze between the two teachers.
Wu Hao seemed startled, he was looking directly at Margareth, as if he wanted to understand what that woman had done. With a smile, she raised her hand.
"I know exactly what you can do," she said.
"And what would that be?" Hao asked, confused.
"Become a researcher in my lab, it would lessen your obligations to attend classes. And since you're already an S Rank, you can easily complete the practical tests when you're called upon. Plus, you'll help this poor lady finish her research before she's embraced by old age."
<I think old age has already embraced her>
'Of course'
"All right, I didn't know students could have researcher status. I still have a few things to sort out, we can talk about it another time," concluded Ryan, who turned towards the door.
"Wait!" Hao said.
Ryan turned his face, staring at the principal.
"I have another matter to settle with you. I'll send you a letter with more information," said Hao, with an unnatural smile.
The boy nodded, then left.
A silence remained in the room, broken only by Margareth's laughter. Standing up, she said, "That boy really is interesting."
"How did you know he'd show up here?" said Hao, confused.
"My lab can detect his mana from miles away, that kid burns energy without worrying. It would be stupid of me not to detect him," said the old witch, who burst out laughing.

When Ryan returned home, the first thing he did was open the other letter he had received. Unlike Hao's envelope, this one was much simpler, with only an adhesive strip to hold the paper together. Confused, he looked at the back of the letter, but there was nothing there.
When he opened it, what he found was a hand-written letter in not very elegant handwriting. Straining his eyes, he tried to read it with great difficulty.
"Dear Ryan Whitemane, your order has been successfully completed. Please contact Artemis Smith to finalize the preparation of your weapon. Thank you for your order"
Wide-eyed, Ryan thought it was a joke. But after staring at the paper, he thought it might actually be true.
"That girl is very strong, maybe she just doesn't have the finesse to write," he said aloud.
Still, it was surprising to think that in such a short time she would have already managed to complete his sword. He had delivered all the details needed for the forge, but it was still too complex a project.
Ryan quickly climbed out of the window again. Olivia watched him come and go, and without commenting she just gave him a passionate smile smile.
"He's still the same," she said, lowering her head and returning to her studies.

Landing at high speed, Ryan made a bang as he arrived in front of the blacksmiths' building. Looking from side to side, he searched everywhere for Artemis. Running through the corridors, he felt the heat coming from the doors embrace his body. The echoing footsteps drew the attention of the resting blacksmiths, as Ryan's gait rivaled the pounding of the hammers.
When Ryan reached the room where Artemis' forge was, he couldn't find her. Everything was empty, the lights were off and the forge wasn't burning as it should. There wasn't even a hammer in that completely empty place.
"Where did Artemis go?" he said aloud in confusion. A silence hung over the corridor for a few moments, followed only by the rhythm of the hammers of Neodrazzil's blacksmiths. But in the midst of that attunement, a laugh broke out.
"MUAHAHAHAA I DID IT! I FUCKING DID IT" was the voice of Artemis, who was shouting much louder than usual.
Turning around, Ryan walked back down the corridor, following the sound of laughter and stopped in front of a wooden door that was closed. Slowly, he opened the door, finding a blonde girl who was jumping for joy.
"I did it! Oh! Ryan!" she said, and running up to him she pulled him into a kiss.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"Huh?!"
The two exchanged a quick kiss, Artemis pulled away and jumped up again. The place seemed to be the girl's new workshop, much bigger than the previous one.
Now there were tables and chairs for her to sit at, as well as counters for working with other types of tools. The forge was in another room, which meant that the dirt didn't get into the office.
Looking at the girl's desk, Ryan recognized the drawings he had made.
"Did you manage to finish the handle?" he said, and the girl nodded
Ryan's sword was made up of four fundamental parts. The first was his blade, which had an extremely detailed mana design. The idea behind the blade was to draw in energy and send it out through a flow that Ryan had designed.
The Rain-guard would hold the Vampire's energy crystal, which would give it the ability to suck in energy. In addition, the guard would help him handle magic spells, which could send attacks as he felt the need.
The cable would act as a battery, and for this he would need several crystals and magic circles lined up. A challenge that was well outside Artemis' area of expertise.
"I'm going out to get the crystal, I'll be right back," said Ryan, who held out his hands to create a portal to his office. Moments later, he ran out of the portal with the crystal in his hand.
"Put it on, we need to test it!" said Artemis, completely consumed with excitement.
Slowly, Ryan placed the crystal inside the hole, and like a magnet, it was pulled in. The sword was then complete, and now he stopped to realize how everything was just as he had imagined.
The long handle so he could use it with two hands, and the single-sided blade to make it easier to send attacks. And the rain guard that could synchronize his mana with the sword. Everything was exactly as he wanted it.
Artemis was feeling fulfilled, and sitting down in a chair she said, "That was definitely my best weapon. I didn't think it would work out so well.
"I'm glad my design pleased you," Ryan replied, as he turned the sword with both hands and tested its grip.
"This is a work of art, if the two of us can make a sword this good, imagine a child," said the girl, nonchalantly.
Ryan stared at her, and they both quickly realized that they were in the same mood. Leaving his sword on the table, he walked over to the girl, who was already taking off her clothes. Artemis stood up to pull down her pants, revealing white panties with gold details.
With force, Ryan ripped off the girl's panties and carried her on his lap to a sofa. "I need to thank you properly," he said, and then the two of them started fucking madly.
