Congratulations, You've Become an NPC

The mechanical voice rang in my ears for a long time.

Or should I say, the notification that the task was completed sounded for a long time.

Ya Nuo's heart moved, but he did not immediately open the panel to check.

There is only one task that can be completed at this time.

But, now is not the time to care about this.

He looked into Alicia's eyes and saw her seriousness and stubbornness.

Tina just watched silently without speaking.

They were all waiting for Arno's answer.

The mellow aroma of coffee drifted into the nose along with the smoke, making the scene look even hazier.

Arno sighed softly.

He put his hand on Alicia's and wrapped his hands around hers.

Alicia's hands were much smaller than Arno's.

Soft and warm.

"Alicia..."

Arno took her hand and put it on his forehead.

The warm feeling penetrated through the skin and seemed to be conveyed directly to his soul.

The two temperatures blended and gradually assimilated and accepted.

Alicia did not show any objection to Arno's actions, but just let him hold her hand.

Those eyes that seemed to have hazy moonlight were still just staring at Arno.

She is waiting,

Waiting for Arno's answer.

Tina's little hands shrank into her cuffs and squeezed gently.

"Feel sorry……"

Arno said softly.

"Believe me."

Then, he said again.

That warmth and confidence seemed to be conveyed to Alicia through the warmth between her hands.

"It's a tempting proposition."

"It's just that I can't implicate you."

Arno let go of Alicia's hand, and there were some beads of sweat on his hand.

"no problem."

"I have never lied to anyone, so trust me, I won't lie to you this time."

Alicia looked at Arno's handsome but slightly cold face and turned her head.

"whatever."

"you are free."

After a pause, she added.

"If you have any questions, you can come to me."

"If Tina can't help, I'll help; if Tina can't solve it, I'll solve it."

"I'll stand behind you."

Her tone was slightly annoyed, yet so gentle.

Arno smiled softly and nodded.

"Finished?"

It wasn't until this moment that Tina spoke.

She ignored Alicia and handed a card directly to Arno.

"This is the admission card to the Royal Academy of Magic that I applied for you before."

"Go and report tomorrow. The Magic Academy will be up and running again before then."

"After that, it's all up to you."

Tina touched Arno's face and looked at him seriously.

"Remember, just because you have left the surname Chris, it does not mean that you have fallen to the level of civilians."

"You're a lot more complicated than that."

"Most tutors will treat you well and respect you; students will scold you and berate you."

"You have to solve these one by one, all by yourself, do you understand?"

Arno nodded.

However, Tina still didn't take her hand away and still spoke softly.

"They are afraid of me, cannot offend me, and dare not provoke me."

"So, they will use this name to provoke you, even if everyone knows that our relationship is inseparable."

"And since I don't have a name, I can't intervene."

Tina took back her hand and stared at Arno's face, as if she wanted to engrave his entire face in her mind.

"This is the price of freedom."

"You have to learn to endure it, and no matter what happens in the future, you have to work hard for yourself, not for others."

Arno nodded gently.

"I know, mother."

"good."

Tina smiled sweetly, "This is my child."

"When I call you back, I will give you a surprise."

Alicia could probably guess what this surprise was.

Their plan must be accelerated.

…

At some point, the sun had set.

Tina stared blankly at the empty coffee cup on the table.

There seemed to be a layer of fog hanging over it.

However, there was no temperature, only the coldness blown by the breeze.

"Do you think this is okay?"

Alicia asked as she added another cup of tea to herself.

"There's nothing wrong with it, it's something that has to be done sooner or later."

Tina came back to her senses and said calmly, "Anyway, our matter has reached a fever pitch. Taking him out at this time will confuse other people's eyes even more."

"That's what I originally planned to do."

"Are you willing?"

"This is a necessary sacrifice for an infinite future."

"I still don't agree with your idea."

Alicia added a cup of tea to Tina and said calmly.

"He has too many things to face, and his strength is too weak."

"Tina, you should know better than anyone that you didn't get to this position just by relying on strategy."

"The military committee is a force that controls violence. In addition to strategy, it also needs stronger strength support."

Alicia's hand suddenly paused.

Then, caught off guard, she threw the tea in her hand towards Tina.

Chichi~

Tina didn't even raise her head, the tea evaporated into a white mist some distance away from her.

"Stop it."

Tina said speechlessly.

"I'm not making a fuss."

"Tina, you are the founder of the Royal Academy of Magic and one of the most powerful magicians in the empire."

"That's why you can sit in this position. This is your capital."

"And what does Arno have? Is it really possible for your plan and our plan to be realized?"

strength,

This is the main theme of the empire.

Other strategies, no matter how amazing they are, are useless in the face of absolute power.

If Tina wants to get a seat for Arnold, he must have stronger strength.

"If you think so, why do you want to help me?"

Tina chuckled.

"Because you are my best friend."

"That's why I help you, it has nothing to do with the probability of success."

Alicia answered without hesitation.

"Isn't this enough?"

"and……"

Tina paused before continuing, "It is precisely because he is too weak that he needs to leave me."

"He has reached the age where he must completely face the darkness of the empire."

"Only in that way can his strength grow rapidly."

Alicia smiled.

"Are you so confident?"

"Of course, he is my child."

Tina proudly said, "Compared to other ordinary people, he will always be better."

"I believe he will become stronger than you and stronger than me."

"In the end, he will even become stronger than the arrogant No. 1 person in the empire - Noya."

Hearing this, Alicia shook her head.

"The Queen is a genius. We will never know how powerful she is. Maybe even His Majesty doesn't know."

"Also, although I still support you now, you have to remember."

"I always disagree with your approach."

Alicia's figure slowly became transparent and began to thin like mist.

"Even if he rejects my last name, I will always protect him."

The words fell.

Alicia's figure has disappeared.

"Space shuttle technology?"

Tina shook her head and took a sip of tea.

a bit sweet.
