Chapter 178 – Papa Ranch’s Travels of Joy to Mekong
The ward was decorated in dark brown logs, except for the large, open glass window on one side, giving it a reassuring sense of warmth.

Ranch walked over to the hospital bed and sat down in the chair next to it, looking at his father with a smile.

Gazing at Rancic’s smiling face, Noé didn’t know what to say about him.

“I’ve also been recuperating for the past two days and haven’t been out of the ward much, but I’m basically relieved to hear that you’re doing well, but ……”

As soon as Noé thought of the three clergymen’s horrified looks, he couldn’t imagine what kind of sins Ranch had created.

He was browsing through the newspaper near the open air giant screen, his vision flickering, and the columns in the paper had only scanned the highlighted images, not reading much of the text before he passed out.

“Never mind, it’s good to be back safely.”

Noé sighed.

Just by looking at the pictures that were taken of that Shadow World, he knew it was dangerous.

“I knew you were worried about my academics, father, but you can rest assured that when it comes to engaging in academics I will do my best even though I may not always succeed!”

Ranch assured his father with conviction.

“Ranchi, right now I just want you to follow the right path and develop smoothly, I don’t expect you to be as amazing as Duke Migaiya.”

Noe was originally supposed to be relieved after hearing Ranchi’s words.

But inexplicably, he felt a sense of indescribable panic welling up in his heart.

In the past, he was afraid that Ranchi wouldn’t try hard enough.

Now he seemed to be a little afraid that Ranchi would try too hard, so he patted Ranchi’s shoulder and exhorted.

He also didn’t want Ranqi to lose himself and go down a crooked path for the sake of an overly high goal that he couldn’t achieve on his own.

Although when Noe wanted Ranchi to enroll in the Ichorite Academy, there was an element of hope that Ranchi could learn from the outstanding graduate of the Ichorite Academy, Duke Migaiya, but in reality, that was just a kind of extravagant hope as a parent.

“Ranchi he actually has a talent no less than Duke Migaiya.”

Huberian said rather modestly.

Never before would she have admitted that someone was more talented than her father, until she had spent so much time with Ranch that she felt it was still Ranch who was more impossible to judge.

“Don’t flatter this boy of my family, fellow Huberian.”

Noe shook her head and shot Ranchi a glance full of contempt.
“He’s nothing but good-looking, how can he be compared to Duke Migaiya!”

This kid was also worthy of being compared to Duke Migaiya, the Hedon Kingdom’s Gaijin?
Even though Noe could hear from Huberian’s words that she truly thought highly of Ranchi.

But Noe was Duke Migaiya’s old admirer, and also an iron Migaiya blow.

Every time he saw news that slandered Duke Migaiya, he was especially angry.

“It’s really possible ah, Ranch is awesome.”

Huberian repeated with conviction.

Although she always liked to hear people praise Duke Migaiya’s words, she was also about being a practical person.

“Let’s take grades for example, back then Duke Migaiya was enrolled in the Knights’ Academy of the Ichorite Academy with the first place, what place was he in the Sage Academy?”

Noe asked, pointing at Ranchi.

He felt that this little girl was a bit uninformed.

“First place.”

Hubertarian said.

“……?”

Noé was shocked, staring at Ranch.

“Really first?”

Ranch just nodded calmly.

Noé’s heart was beating wildly, knowing that his expectation of Ranchi at the beginning was even that everything would be fine if this kid could enter the Alchemy Academy with a passing grade.

Now it had the feeling of a dream.

Noe, despite the fact that Ranqi was able to participate in the Shadow World two months after the start of the school year, he could deduce that Ranqi’s grades weren’t bad, but did it really turn out to be the first place?

Knowing that the chief of any branch of Ichorite Academy every year, the guaranteed future achievements would not be much worse!

Noe calmed down for a while.

He finally opened his mouth and said.
“However, Duke Migaiya enrolled in the Knights’ Academy, but what really amazed the crowd was his magical engineering talent, not only was he proficient in magic and all sorts of learning, he was also good at refining medicines and making cards, so it can be said that he would have been the first place winner that year, no matter which of the four branch academies he took. I’m sure you’ve been in the royal capital for so long that you’ve heard the story of Duke Migaiya making an unprecedented three pink sacred during the registered card maker exam back then, right?”

Noe was proud of Ranchi, but the more times like this, the more it was time to warn Ranchi against complacency and not let him drift too much.

Ranch just smiled and nodded without saying a word.

“……”

Huberian looked at Noé in confusion.

But she quickly understood.

It had only been a few days since Ranch had taken the Certified Card Maker exam just before entering the Shadow World.

And the fact that Ranchi had been set to the platinum level was known only to her and Prince Aenor and the others who were in the rest area at the time, the Ichorite branch of the Card Maker Association, and the higher-ups of the Academy of Magical Engineering, and Dean Loren, and was kept quiet to the public for the time being.

The news circulating within the royal capital was that Ranchi had made an epic, but the royal capital currently had so many exaggerated stories about Principal Ran that people were in turn unsure of its veracity.

According to the president, Noe had fainted shortly after arriving at the Ichorite Academy, so it was normal that he didn’t know about Ranch’s Certified Card Maker Exam.

“Ranchi he doesn’t know everything, but he belongs to the type that does one thing and loves one thing, and will refine a certain function to the extreme …… and his Registered Card Maker Exam grading is set higher than Duke Migaiya.”

Huberian thought about it, worrying that Ranchi was preparing to give Noe a big surprise, in addition to Noe blowing Migaiya like this, making her a little embarrassed.

In order to stop Ranchi from sinning any more, Huberian decided it would be better to reveal it by herself.

Noé froze for a moment first, his brain becoming a bit dead from the overload of information.

The last time he went back to South Vantina and met Ranch in his study, he had heard Hans, the butler, assuring him that Ranch had the talent to make magic cards, and Ranch had asked him for a sum of money that he claimed to be “the cost of materials and tuition for the making of magic cards”.

At first, Noé thought that Ranch was just interested in it, and that he would be lucky if he could make some blue skies and white clouds in the future.

As a result, this kid was able to take the Registered Card Maker Exam in half a year.
Wait a minute. “Higher?”

Noé found the wah point and counted on his fingers.

Duke Migaiya should have been set to the gold level right?

Higher.

Is it hard to be set to Platinum?

Noé looked at Ranch with some disbelief, like he was seeing a monster.

At first, butler Hans had told him that young master Ranchi would definitely be able to make good magic cards.

Originally thought that Hans was just defending Ranchi, I didn’t realize that Hans, you’re playing for real?
“Huberian student, you didn’t lie to me, did you?”

Noé’s lips and teeth trembled as he couldn’t organize his words.

He didn’t quite believe it and felt that Huberian was joking.

“It’s not approved yet, right now it’s quasi-platinum in unofficial terms.”

Huberian replied accurately.

Noé, his eyes slightly dazed, looked at Ranch, half unable to speak.

He was sure that Huberian was a good and honest boy and would not tell such lies to fool him.

This feeling was more unreal than a dream.

A platinum level card maker, a real big shot.

Noe had never imagined that Ranch could reach such an achievement.

“No, I sought to find out if your stance is a bit strange ……”

Ranch said in a small voice as he sat on the sidelines, not realizing that he would one day turn into a spitting service.

Both were elbow to elbow.

Duke Migaiya would have been devastated if he had heard his own daughter beating down on him like that.

But Ranchi felt as if Noe hadn’t realized that Huberian was Duke Migaiya’s daughter.

Noé just froze for a long time.

Finally, he could no longer hide the smile of joy on his face.

“Heh, despite that, I’m still sure of one thing this kid is not as good as Duke Migaiya.”

For a while he didn’t know how to digest that joy in his heart, and the topic came to a head, as if he wanted to joke, and as if he still had to be tough with his mouth, he said.

“What?”

Huberian didn’t know how to get Noé to honestly admit the fact that Ranch was really good.

“Duke Migaiya can take a demon wife, can Ranchi he?”

Noé asked with a gloating laugh.

“Of course he can ……!”

Huberian originally subconsciously went along with Noé’s words, but the result was that her face soon changed abruptly.

“Excuse me for a moment.”

She then averted her eyes in embarrassment, pursed her lips and stood up, bowed her head and walked out of the hospital room quickly.

“…… Le, this time the rebuttal can’t be me.”

Noe tilted her head back and laughed as if she had gotten one back.

“Father, she’s ……”

Ranch sighed.

He was about to say it, but he was afraid it would make Pops pass out again.

If Plum had fainted then it might have been really dangerous, and he hesitated to say anything.

“Who is she? It’s hard not to be the daughter of Duke Migaiya?”

Noe was even more amused, thinking that Ranchi couldn’t even speak properly…
“How can there be a demon like her who is so gentle and kind ah, I at least read people very accurately, I would rather believe that you are a demon than believe that she has half a bit of demon blood in her.”

“……”

Ranchi was silenced by Noe’s one dry sentence.

Forget it.

Keep your end of the bargain and honor your father’s destiny.

Looking at Ranchi’s calm and relaxed appearance, Noe couldn’t help but sigh that the boy had really become mature and stable.

“For you to be able to endure, if you have the ability to go and marry a demon wife back, if it’s still a pure-blooded Daemon like Duchess Migaiya, then I would like to call you the strongest.”

Noe was still laughing, patting Ranch’s shoulder to make fun of him, he was in a particularly good mood right now.

Demons are not good people, on Ranqi’s character, I’m afraid that if he didn’t just meet them, he would be killed directly before he started to pursue them.

The big devil kind of natural disaster like existence is even more will be Ranqi as ants trampled to death.

“……”

Ranchi shook his head helplessly.

This was the only thing he couldn’t do.

Pure blood devil wife really can’t marry, first of all, the devil’s way of thinking is different from human, after the marriage quarrel is either murdering their own husband, or suddenly disappeared, good end is basically impossible.

If he would marry a pure-blooded demon, the only possibility is to be forced to marry by the other side with a knife on his neck.

But it was clearly impossible for that to happen.
