Four high walls had been established within the courtyard, and all the students of Zephaniah Academy’s scores and rankings were announced at the top, as well as the team whose total score ranked first . The Trials’ champion team was the team led by Gerard . Although his flag had been stolen in the first Trial, his team had performed rather steadily, outstanding even, in the next few Trials . With their average score, they had won the championship .
Feng Ping Lan’s team had fallen to the thirteenth place, the main reason being that Feng Ping Lan had encumbered their average score . However, no one complained or criticized him because of this .
“What a pity, we missed the championship . ” Byriel stood behind Liu Yi Chen, sighing lightly as he looked at the list .
“It’s fine . ” Liu Yi Chen shrugged deprecatingly, “In any case, as long as we had fun . ”
In the Second Trial, Feng Ping Lan, whom she thought wouldn’t come in handy at all, had been the key to solving the riddle . In this respect, she suddenly felt rueful . Regardless of whether the cards you possessed were good or bad hands, you couldn’t guarantee who lost or won in the end . Such being the case, she might as well take pleasure in it .
The first half of the school festival had concluded .

On their way back home, the Contracts accompanied Feng Ping Lan to the school gates . Conglong walked beside Feng Ping Lan, divulging in the process of how they managed to catch the Gentleman Thief .
“That’s amazing! There was actually such a way to find him!”
“Right . ” Conglong humphed, pleased with himself .
“We didn’t find him by relying on you, what are you being proud of?” Morris spoke in objection . “The only thing you did was throw the tracking apparatus like a crazy fishwife, you did nothing else otherwise . ”
“Shut up! You moth-loving pervert!”
When he returned home, Feng Ping Lan lay on his bed, thinking back on the entire course of events .

He had forgotten everything that had happened during his last regression in the Fourth Trial . However, he could vaguely remember a deep voice accompanying him, that offered him a sense of security .
Exhaustion and sleepiness set in . The violent alterations in the past few days had put a strain on his body and spirit . He yawned, his consciousness starting to cloud over .
Black shadows in the corner of the room swayed, from which a slender figure rose up .
“Quetzal?”
Feng Ping Lan lay on his bed, looking at who had come with glazed eyes . He wanted to get up to make sure he wasn’t seeing things, but his body did not listen to him, limp and powerless .
Quetzal stood silently by the bed, not uttering a single word .
Feng Ping Lan gave another yawn .
“Did Quetzal come to accompany me, haha…”
Quetzal gazed at Feng Ping Lan, waiting for his next words .
“I’m fine now… If you’re busy, you don’t need to stay here…”
Quetzal did not react, but let out a subtle, almost discernible sigh from his mouth .
Feng Ping Lan forced himself to blink to preserve his awareness .
“Quetzal… do you need anything?”
Quetzal lifted his hand, reaching out to Feng Ping Lan’s head, and patted it .
“You forgot this…”
Feng Ping Lan’s eyes instantly widened, his sleepiness vanishing completely .
He sat up abruptly, glancing left and right to confirm this wasn’t a hallucination .
The room was empty, he was alone .
Was it a dream?
