Episode 232 reunion (1)
After leaving the competition venue, Lois and Harold walked without any conversation.
Their silence continued until they reached their destination, Harold’s laboratory.
Dalkak-.
The two entered the lab.
Harold said, looking around the messy room.
“I’m sorry. “I didn’t even have time to clean it up.”
“it’s okay. “You don’t have to worry about it.”
It wasn’t just words, Lois really didn’t seem to care at all that the room was messy.
Instead, he looked around the room with curiosity.
Various research materials piled up on the desk.
The sofas, as well as the tables prepared to serve guests, were lined with various metals that appeared to be research materials.
And unlike other messy places, the bookshelf containing research books was neatly organized.
Lois smiled slightly at the sight of the room where the owner’s tendencies were revealed without filtering.
‘He is a craftsman.’
Harold’s room, with its strong stubbornness, was reminiscent of Dexter’s laboratory from back in the day.
While Lois was looking around the room, Harold, who had been rummaging through the desk, approached Lois holding a piece of paper.
The identity of the paper Harold silently held out was none other than the test paper submitted by Lois.
When Lois noticed this, a look crossed her eyes.
‘As expected, it was because of this.’
This was the only reason why Harold, the Meister, came to see him in person and even ‘asked for a favor’.
Although I had already expected it from the moment I saw him, Lois made a fool of herself as she took the test paper.
“Why is this? “Did you call me because there was a problem with my answer?”
“That test paper… “Is this what you wrote?”
I asked that question, but Harold already knew.
The first thing I did when I saw the answers was to call the proctor who was taking the test at the time and check.
‘Oh, I definitely remember him. ‘I handed in the test paper and left less than 5 minutes after it started.’
‘5 minutes?! Did you say 5 minutes? Are you sure?’
‘Woe, I’m sure!’
I was so surprised by the instructor’s confident words.
Although it had already been verified, Harold wanted to receive confirmation from Lois’ mouth.
Lois nodded as Harold stared at her.
“That’s right. “The handwriting is mine.”
“her… … .”
Harold’s heart suddenly relaxed.
‘I can’t believe it was true… … .’
After being dazed for a moment, heat slowly filled his eyes.
“The last question of the test… “How did you solve it?”
“It’s strange what you’re saying. “Is it strange that I solved the problem I was asked to solve?”
“Have you ever seen that last question somewhere? Or did you hear it from someone?”
“no.”
Lois answers without even putting saliva on her mouth.
But his lies worked so easily.
As expected, the last problem was one that Harold came up with somewhat spontaneously.
Who would have expected that question to appear on the exam?
Even I don’t know the source.
Only Meister William knows.
‘… What is the possibility that William told you?’
That thought occurred to Harold, but he quickly shook his head.
Even if William had told the boy in front of him the test question, it was a different matter from knowing the answer.
William, who is famous for his strong pride, even came to ask for the answer in person, so it was clear that he didn’t know the answer either.
That’s why I couldn’t understand it even more.
A difficult problem that even I couldn’t solve easily.
The boy was released in less than 5 minutes.
Harold, who had a confused look on his face for a moment, cautiously opened his mouth.
“The full formula written on this test paper… “Is it correct to write it in an abbreviated form?”
“yes.”
“Is it possible to formally write down the solution process?”
Lois slightly turned her gaze to Harold’s question.
Where he was looking, the recipe that Harold had worked so hard to obtain was written on the blackboard.
“Is it really necessary? It’s written there. “Did the professor write that?”
“I see.”
“hmm… … .”
Lois, who was watching the grass transplant attentively, approached the blackboard and picked up the chalk.
“There was a bit of a useless solving process involved. Here like this… … .”
Tak-tak-.
Lois’ hand holding the chalk moved quickly on the blackboard.
Harold, who had approached Lois with a curious look on his face as to what she was doing, opened his mouth as he watched the gradually changing expression.

‘How… … .’
Every time Lois moved her hand, the redundancy of the formula she had written was being neatly removed.
“That’s it.”
Harold’s face hardened as he watched Lois knocking the chalk off her hands.
‘… It is perfect.’
The solution process, which was simpler, yet more complete and more understandable than the method he had solved, was written on the blackboard.
Harold looked back and forth between the blackboard and Lois and swallowed dryly.
An incident from the game a little while ago flashed through his mind.
‘It was this guy who was riding the transcendence plane.’
When Lois came out of one of the two transcendence planes that caused the Dean Streaming phenomenon, I was so shocked that I thought my heart would jump out of my mouth.
Even just solving the last problem is an entity that possesses transcendental manipulation skills that have reached an astonishing level.
Harold asked with a stern expression.
“you… “What is it?”
Lois saw Harold’s serious expression and a mischievous smile appeared on her lips.
He answered with a slight smile.
“Lord of the Tower of Desire.”
“… … .”
As soon as Lois finished speaking, a few seconds of silence passed.
Hearing a sound that came out of nowhere, Harold looked at Lois with even more fearful eyes than before.
A long silence.
Then suddenly Harold burst into laughter.
“Hahaha! ha ha ha!”
Harold, who had laughed so loudly that his uvula was visible, tapped Lois on the shoulder with a cheerful face.
“Yes, yes! “If you have that level of ability, you must have that level of ambition!”
“… … ?”
“I think you can be a tower owner in the future!”
It seemed like there was a misunderstanding.
No, is this just a matter of hearing only what you want to hear?
It seemed that ‘the owner of the long-desired tower’ sounded to Harold’s ears as the ‘owner of the future long-desired tower’.
Lois’s expression darkened, but Harold, who was absorbed in his own thoughts, did not notice this.
Rather, he squeezed Lois’ shoulder strongly.
Harold’s eyes sparkled.
“cancer! Absolutely! If you have such a dream, you are welcome! So, what are you going to do now?”
“What?”
“I’m talking about that technique.”
“Why is that?”
“Are you going to leave it like that?”
“sure?”
In response to Lois’ reaction as if she had no idea what she was talking about, Harold became angry again.
“No, then you’re going to let it rot like this even after making this discovery?! “Write a thesis right away and submit it to academia!”
Only then did Lois realize.
He said he feels like he’s caught up in a very annoying situation.
Lois answered with a shocked expression.
“… “Do I really have to do that?”
“Say that! “If we study that technique a little more, we may be able to create a new revolution that will never be seen before in the history of the Transcendental Period!”
“Oh, yeah… … .”
“If only I could write a thesis… You will definitely be able to receive the rank of first-class apprentice! As long as you have a certain level of experience, it’s enough to be the youngest meister! “I will help you, so let’s write a paper together!”
Lois responded to that story without hesitating even for a second.
“I don’t like it.”
It’s okay to give him a meister position right away, but he’s only a first-class apprentice?
In the first place, all Lois had to do was get the answer from William.
I had no interest in becoming a first-degree doge or meister.
Harold’s pupils were taken aback by the unexpected answer, causing an earthquake.
“Huh, why?!”
“Because it’s annoying.”
“Now, think about it carefully. “You are the youngest meister!”
“Yes, even if you think about it, it’s annoying.”
“Okay… … .
While Harold was groaning, Lois moved away from him.
“Then I’m waiting for the kids. Professor, please enjoy your meal too.”
After saying that, Lois quickly leaves the lab.
“Hey, look!”
I stretched out my hand towards Lois’s leaving back, but the person I wanted to grab had left the lab without even looking back.
Harold looked blankly at the empty laboratory.
Then a laugh came out of his mouth.
“Hehehe.”
At the same time, a strange desire filled Harold’s eyes.
“You can’t miss out on such a talented person!”
Sometimes, such a being is born.
These people are born with amazing genius that will change the world.
Every time such a genius appears, the field they worked in shows amazing progress that advances hundreds of years.
And Lois, reflected in Harold’s eyes, was exactly that.
‘If that kid… The Transcendence Period will lead the Tower of Desire to a new realm!’
Therefore, it was necessary to embrace Lois in the arms of the Tower of Desire.
“certainly!”
It was a moment when a strong desire appeared in the eyes of the stubborn craftsman.
* * *
Lois unintentionally softens Harold’s sentiments.
After a pleasant meal with his companions, he returned to his room and spread out on his bed.
‘Oh, I’m tired.’
Of course, I wasn’t physically tired.
I’m just mentally tired.
While he was visiting Harold, today’s match had spread throughout the Transcendental Academy building, and Lois and Carney had become the most famous people in the building.
That’s why I couldn’t help but get on my nerves because of the stares that followed me wherever I went.
Lois, who was trying to become one with the bed to soothe the exhaustion of today, slowly raised her head when she saw the hot gaze directed at her.
“why? What?”
Shiba Inu usually crumpled to one side quietly after getting hit by Royce, but today was different.
He spit out his mouth and clenched his fists.
“Wow, you’re amazing!”
Since Shiva was always aware of Royce’s condition, his surprise when he came out riding the transcendental plane was greater than anyone else’s.
Plus, such amazing transcendental control skills.
When Lois defeated Carney, Shiva was thrilled.
As a result, my respect for Lois grew.
Lois responded angrily to Shiva’s passionate gaze towards her.
“Do you know that now?”
“When did you learn the art of controlling the Transcendence Aircraft? How on earth can I become like Lois?”
“Do you think something like that is possible?”
“ah… … .”
“Oh, there is a way.”
“Well, what is that?”
“You just have to be born again. Of course, I don’t know if you can become like me if you are reborn.”
Do you know anything?
Will Shiva be reborn as a dragon like himself?
As Lois spoke, Shiva frowned to one side with a sullen expression on his face.
And that was then.
smart-.
Lois nodded at the quiet knocking sound.
Shiva, who had gone to the door at your signal to go out, quickly came back.
“I am a guest visiting Lois.”
“Say there is nothing.”
I didn’t want to meet anyone today because I was bothered by people’s stares all day.
Shiba said with an embarrassed face.
“The person who came… “Is this Miss Sierra?”
At the sound of Sierra, Lois slowly raised her upper body.
He sighed softly and said.
“If Carney or the others are looking for me, they will tell me that I went out because I had some business to do. “Don’t say nonsense for no reason.”
“yes! All right. “Please come back!”
Lois comes out while being seen off by Shiva.
He asked, looking at Sierra standing at the door.
“What’s going on?”
“if… “I was wondering if we could have a chat if time permits.”
“try.”
“Somewhere else but here… … .”
Sierra looked around.
Lois’s gaze clings to her as soon as she comes out.
Lois, recognizing that gaze, frowned slightly.
“Mr… … .”
Is this the sorrow of celebrities?
Lois, with a disapproving expression, trudged forward.
Then he shouted at Sierra, who was still standing behind him.
“What are you doing? “He’s not following me.”
“Go, go… … .”
Sierra hurriedly chases after Lois.
The place they moved to was none other than the pest extermination research room.
Lois naturally pulled out her chair and sat down, and Sierra stood across from her.
There was an awkward silence between the two as they entered the study room.
To be exact, it was a strange silence, with Lois feeling perplexed and Sierra feeling awkward.
After a while, Sierra was still hesitant, so Lois spoke in an irritated voice.
“Don’t you have anything to say? “Then shall I just leave?”
Just as he was about to get up, Sierra shouted urgently.
“Thank you!”
Lois pauses at the unexpected thank you.
He chuckled as he looked at Sierra, whose face was turning red.
“What else can I say? “Is that all you wanted to talk about?”
“No, I have something to say, but…” “I think the first thing to do is to express my gratitude.”
“But you can still do it.”
Sierra was able to regain her composure due to Lois’ bluntness.
She expressed her gratitude again.
“really… thanks. “Thanks to you, I think I will be able to receive a scholarship.”
“it’s okay. “It’s not necessarily because of you, it’s because I did it for my own good.”
“Thank you for saying that.”
“I’ll leave it to you to say thank you… So what do you have to say?”
Sierra’s face hardened at that question.
She let out a light sigh.
“I thought it was best not to tell you this. Because it might hurt your feelings. but… “I felt that if I hid it, I was actually ignoring you.”
“What on earth are you taking so long to say?”
“… Do you remember? “The day we were first selected as members of the same group, I said I didn’t want to be in the same group as you.”
“I remember.”
“You said that. “Even if you apologize, give the reason and apologize.”
“uh.”
Sierra bit her lip as Lois stared at her.
After looking stern for a moment, she opened her mouth.
“you… “Do you think it’s a coincidence that we ended up together?”
