A young man from another world returned to his hometown.

Chapter 41: Teacher Siel's Classroom Quiz

Syl's ears twitched, as if she had caught the innuendo in his tone.

She tapped the table with her little willow branch again.

"Sit still!"

"yes!"

Lin Yan obediently sat up straight in the rattan chair.

Syl sat down opposite him and took out several magic books from his spatial bag.

"Today we'll review the basic lessons."

"Please condense a water sphere and hold it for thirty seconds. The shape must be stable and the magic power must flow evenly."

Lin Yan looked at her, and her serious and earnest expression was a million times cuter than any elf.

His mind raced.

Water balloons? He could make a hundred of those with his eyes closed.

but……

If it's done too well, wouldn't it be pointless?

Lin Yan lowered her eyes to hide the curve of her lips and raised her hand.

"Okay, I'll give it a try."

He condensed a wisp of magic, and a water sphere slowly rose to the surface.

Syl nodded, his expression becoming serious.

then.

The water sphere began to deform strangely in mid-air, and soon dissipated.

"..."

Syl frowned.

"My dear, the flow of magic is unstable."

"Hmm, I feel... I feel like I haven't used it in a long time, I'm a little rusty."

Lin Yan put on a troubled expression.

A fair, small hand rested on the back of Lin Yan's hand.

Syl stood beside him, leaning slightly forward, her hair falling down to Lin Yan's arm.

"Relax, don't rush."

"Follow my magic."

Syl whispered in his ear.

"Imagine a stream; the water finds its own path, you just need to give it a direction..."

Lin Yan didn't listen to what she was saying.

He was smelling her scent.

Syl's face was less than an inch away from his, and her breath fell on his skin as she spoke.

Lin Yan felt like she was about to burst out laughing.

Successful.

The water sphere gradually stabilized under the combined magic of the two, returning to a perfect sphere.

Syl straightened up with satisfaction and clapped his hands.

"See that? That's the essence of water magic."

She turned her head, about to say something, but met Lin Yan's smiling eyes.

Syl was taken aback.

"…Darling, pay attention in class, don't let your mind wander!"

She quickly looked away, pretending to look at the water balloon.

"Yes, I'm listening carefully."

Lin Yan nodded obediently.

"Teacher, I still don't quite understand. Can we try again?"

Syl shuddered.

She turned her head and looked at his face, which was full of innocence. She knew he was up to no good, but she couldn't do anything about it.

"...One more time."

She bit her lower lip, then leaned over again and grasped his wrist.

In this lesson, Lin Yan was taught water polo by Xier seven or eight times.

Later, even Hill himself realized that something was wrong.

When she straightened up from his embrace, her face was already flushed.

"Honey……"

She said in a low voice.

"You really, really can't do this simple water ball?"

Lin Yan nodded sincerely.

"I really don't know how, teacher, please teach me again."

Syl looked at him, her eyes full of helplessness.

He pretended to be stupid just to see her serious yet shy expression.

She was so captivated by this moment that her eyes were filled with her own focus.

The sun gradually reached its zenith.

After a morning of running around, Xier was completely dizzy from Lin Yan's antics.

She slumped in a recliner, her glasses perched crookedly.

"Take a break."

She said in a low voice.

"Um."

Lin Yan readily accepted good advice.

Then, without warning, he collapsed onto Sylvie, burying his face in her legs.

"...!"

Syl froze for a moment.

"Darling?"

Lin Yan turned his head to the side and rubbed against him comfortably.

"Put your lap as a pillow during break time."

He closed his eyes, looking completely matter-of-fact.

Syl paused for a few seconds, but ultimately couldn't push him away.

She gently placed her hand on Lin Yan's forehead.

The spring breeze blew through the yard, and the leaves outside the door rustled.

Lin Yan squinted, reached out and grabbed a strand of hair, twirling it around her fingertip.

"Sier".

"Um?"

Your ears look so soft today.

"!"

Syl's ears immediately perked up.

"No, don't touch it!"

"Just touch it once."

Lin Yan smiled, raised her hand, and squeezed it.

Syl trembled slightly, saying "Don't touch me," but her fingers unconsciously landed on Lin Yan's temples, gently massaging them.

"...You're really pushing your luck."

She muttered to herself.

Lin Yan let out a comfortable sigh.

"Seriously, Sean."

He gazed at the blue sky above, which was fragmented into pieces by the leaves.

"That being said, this period has been quite eventful."

"It feels like nothing is going according to my plan."

Syl's fingers paused.

"What's wrong?"

"Logically speaking, I could tell the whole world that I don't eat beef."

Lin Yan sighed with his eyes closed.

"Why is it still so tiring to build a territory back in the village?"

He rolled over, buried his face in Hill's lap, and mumbled something.

I want to go out and play with you.

"I haven't taken you to any of those amusement parks, movie theaters, or beaches yet."

Syl looked down at him, seeing how annoyed he was, and couldn't help but laugh.

She reached out and gently smoothed his messy hair.

"Honey."

"Um?"

Have you thought about it?

"Your current territory is like a barrier that is entirely maintained by your own magic."

"Although it looks prosperous now, the barrier will collapse once you stop supplying magic."

Syl continued to gently massage his temples.

"In the construction of our elven territory, a truly lasting barrier is one that draws its own magic and circulates on its own."

Yes.

His past experiences were in the territory of nobles in another world.

How can a simulation management game about a grand duke in another world be the same as economic development in modern society?

In order to truly operate, it must have the ability to generate its own revenue.

He doesn't care whose property it is, as long as this place has these things for him to enjoy.

He can only truly retire once this system starts working on its own.

Only then can you truly take Hill out to play.

"...Syl."

"Um?"

"you're right."

Lin Yan let out a long breath.

"My previous thinking was too naive."

He grabbed Sylph's hand and rubbed it against his cheek.

"I have to let them come to life on their own."

Syl's eyes crinkled into a smile.

The afternoon breeze was a bit gentler.

Looking at Lin Yan, who was clinging to him.

Syl gently nudged Lin Yan's shoulder.

"Alright, break time is over."

Lin Yan reluctantly snorted.

"Sleep for another five minutes."

"no."

Syl pretended to be stern and picked up a small willow branch as a pointer.

"Since you say that the territory depends on everyone's hard work, then you can't slack off."

She tried her best to look fierce.

"Come on, let's have a little quiz. Let's see how well you reviewed today, my dear. If you dare to slack off..."
