Why doesn't Chapter 162 mention that he graduated from a magic academy?
Atobe sat on a lounge chair, holding a water bottle in his hand. His icy blue eyes involuntarily drifted towards Luna.
The kitten was tilting its head and licking its paws, but the Elizabethan collar was blocking its way, so it couldn't reach them. It was so anxious that it was wagging its tail. It looked a little silly, but also a little cute.
Atobe's fingertips unconsciously rubbed the fabric of his team uniform on his arm, and his Adam's apple bobbed.
Confidence returned to Wangyue Ling.
Yesterday, he overheard Mochizuki Ling misleading his team members, saying that a black cat would secretly observe and train those who were slacking off. He initially thought it was a lie, but it turns out there really is a cat.
He saw the mischievous glint in Wang Yueling's eyes, and the familiar, irritating curve of his lips.
Although we don't know where this cat came from, Mochizuki Ryo definitely did it on purpose.
Sakaki Taro glanced at Atobe, who was also looking at him. Their eyes met for a moment, and their gazes conveyed the same message.
"This guy's up to no good again, watch out!!!"
Wang Yueling took in everyone's reactions and almost burst out laughing. He cleared his throat, forcibly suppressing his laughter, and put on a serious expression.
"Oops, you guys found out."
He gently stroked Luna's fur, his movements incredibly tender. He sighed, a hint of helplessness in his voice, "My Luna is proud and doesn't like meeting strangers."
He lifted Luna up and held her in front of him.
The kitten stood up in his palm, and the Elizabethan collar around its neck swayed slightly with its movement.
It tilted its head back, scanned the surrounding two-legged creatures with its heterochromatic eyes, flicked its tail impatiently, and meowed softly in a childish voice.
Its aura and posture were in no way inferior to its owner's.
The meow wasn't loud, but it was cute and haughty, as if it were saying, "What are you all looking at? Haven't you ever seen a handsome cat before?"
Let me introduce myself.
Wang Yueling stroked its little head with doting eyes and began to ramble on, "This is my son, Luna. His full name is Yue. He's three hundred years old, and his front paw is injured; he's still recovering."
He glanced down at Luna.
"Come on, say hello to everyone."
Luna glanced at him, then turned her head away. The gesture was so obvious that anyone could see she didn't want to say hello.
Wang Yueling wasn't embarrassed at all. She smiled and looked up, "Why is it in a bad mood today? It's usually very well-behaved."
Hiki, hiding behind Jiro with only half her head showing, asked, "Why...why is it in a bad mood?"
Wang Yueling smiled, a smile so gentle it was almost unbelievable, but her voice was equally gentle. "Maybe it's because you weren't sleeping soundly in my pocket. You're probably still grumpy after waking up!"
Someone in the crowd swallowed hard.
Cilang peeked out from behind Xiang Ri, his voice barely audible, "Ling, is it really the cat you've heard about? The one that keeps watch?"
Wang Yueling looked at him and blinked.
What do you think?
Jiro glanced at the yawning kitten and shrank back behind Mukahi.
Wang Yueling chuckled, then lifted Luna up a little so that everyone could see its eyes.
"But you're right, it is indeed extraordinary."
He hadn't figured out how to fool him yet, but after listening to Shinobu's wild imagination, all sorts of mischievous ideas started popping into his head...
He deliberately lowered his voice, his expression serious and his tone mysterious.
"Did you notice its eyes?"
All eyes were on Luna's eyes.
The one in azure blue is like amber, like the surface of the sea under the sunlight.
The blue-purple one is like a glass bead, like the sky at dusk.
"Yuushi was right just now. This isn't an ordinary heterochromatic eye; it's a naturally born spiritual eye. It can see things that ordinary people can't, bring good luck, and ward off bad luck."
These young men, who weren't exactly brave, covered their mouths and gasped.
"And its little paw pads..."
Wang Yueling glanced at everyone's reactions, secretly amused, but remained outwardly composed. He reached out and gently touched Luna's little fleshy pads wrapped in gauze, his tone tinged with tenderness.
"Do you know how its little paw got injured?"
Everyone shook their heads, held their breath, and waited for him to continue.
"Its paw pads were injured last night while saving me."
He spoke slowly, his tone somber, "Yesterday I was on my way home, taking a shortcut through a small alley, when a runaway car came hurtling towards me. I couldn't have dodged it, but Luna suddenly darted out from the side, shoving me aside, but she herself was thrown into the air by the car."
He paused, looked down at the kitten, his eyes so tender they could melt your heart.
"It could originally transform into human form, just like an ordinary person. This time, it used up too much spiritual energy to save me, so it turned back into a cub. It will take a while to recover."
"Mon dieu".
He muttered under his breath, a hint of lingering fear in his voice, "I still get chills thinking about it. Thank goodness for it."
As if understanding his words, Luna raised her healthy little paw and gently touched his finger.
"Meow."
These words were spoken with heartfelt sincerity, and even the details were meticulously crafted. Coupled with the genuine interaction with the kitten, it was truly touching.
The expressions of the innocent teenagers who had been watching changed. They listened in stunned silence, their fear slowly fading and replaced by感动 (a deep sense of being moved).
Some people who are easily moved to tears have already started wiping away their tears.
Xiang Ri's mouth gaped open, big enough to fit an egg. He nudged Ji Lang beside him and whispered, "It's actually true... it can actually turn into a human?"
Jiro nodded blankly, staring intently at Luna, completely forgetting his earlier fear.
After hearing the legendary story, even Sakaki Taro was stunned for a moment, and his pen touched the notepad.
He glanced at Wang Yueling and wondered to himself: This kid is talking like it's the truth. Could it really be some rare cat he brought back from France?
But why has he never heard his great-aunt mention it?
Atobe's lips twitched violently.
He originally thought that Wang Yueling just kept a cat to amuse everyone.
I never expected this guy to make up such an outrageous story right off the bat, talking about transformation and spiritual power. Why not just say he graduated from a magic academy?
Just as he was about to expose her, he saw Luna raise her head, her heterochromatic eyes meeting his gaze. She then tilted her head, meowed softly.
Atobe swallowed back the words that were on the tip of his tongue.
He turned his face away, snorted coldly, and said nothing more. But inexplicably, he felt that this kitten did seem to have some human-like qualities.
Seeing that they had all taken the bait, Wang Yueling didn't give them a chance to react and continued to press her advantage, launching a final attack to close the net.
"It didn't just save me. It also keeps an eye on you guys to make sure you're not slacking off. Its eyes can see what you're doing, no matter where you are."
His tone was so serious that it was hard to tell if he was being genuine or not. "So you'd better be more serious when you train in the future. Even though it's injured, its eyesight is still just as good."
Luna climbed onto his neck, hugged her owner's neck with her little paws, rubbed against him affectionately, and purred contentedly.
The purring sound seemed to say, "That's right, I'm just that amazing."
