Arnold was snickering on the side, trying his best to hold back his laughter.

Whenever Ruben came up with some new antics, the others would definitely be made speechless by him.

Moreover, this man was shameless enough.

"Being Riya's student really didn't make you better," Stephen finally said and then promised, "Then it's a deal."

Ruben grinned and then waved his hand. "I have to be a good boy in front of my master, but in front of my friends, why should I hold myself back?"

He behaved himself around Riya because he wanted his master to teach him more. Moreover, if he dared to make trouble, Riya could easily hand over a stack of books and he could already imagine how torturous his days would be.

Back then, he nearly didn't have any time to sleep at all because Riya shoved a lot of books about magic and runes to him.

While they were useful, but she also set a time limit for him.

He could only squeeze his time to learn these things, making sure that he learned everything to the fullest.

If he couldn't pass Riya's test, he would be punished to learn more.

So Ruben had to be a good student.

At that time, his mind was filled with countless runes memorization and so on… how could he have time to mess around with the others?

He had to rush back and finish his work, making him exhausted every day.

In City I Base, he still had some time to make fun of his friends from time to time, but it was only occasionally.

"Repeat it again, Ruben." Amelia was holding her phone with her eyes shining. She wanted to record it for Riya to hear, letting her know how much of a troublemaker her student actually was.

Ruben was stunned and quickly took a step back. "When did you finish talking with Sophia?"

He didn't even notice it!

It seemed that he had to increase his own training too in the future so that he would not be easily ambushed by warriors and magic warriors. After all, as a magician, his skills were still far lower than Riya and his body was also weaker than other warriors and magic warriors.

If they were to sneak attacked him, Ruben couldn't guarantee that he wouldn't get hurt.

Tsk, he had to prepare enough defensive runes next.

This was included in the books that Riya gave to him, but those runes were more complicated, so he hadn't succeeded making the passive activation runes.

"Ruby is here and talking with Sophia, so I come here," Amelia replied and then shook her phone in front of Ruben. "Come on, say it again! I want to show it to Riya!"

"No! I have already lost face so many times in front of you because of your devil brother! I won't let you show it in front of Riya!"

"Hey, come back here! Don't use your runes if you dare, Ruben!"

"I won't listen to you, la la la!"

"Ruben!"

Seeing the two of them chasing each other like elementary school students, the other two were speechless. Even though Arnold liked to tease Amelia too, he preferred to see her looking shy rather than angry like this.

Though, seeing her look so lively is still very good.

"Well, your sister should be ready to go soon." Arnold shook his head, feeling that the heavy atmosphere from before really couldn't be maintained. With Ruben around, it seemed that making sure they were serious all the time would be an impossible feat to achieve.

"Ah, yes." Stephen saw Ruby and Sophia were talking with each other and smiled. "We'll return in the future."

His words were more like a promise.

Arnold only smiled and didn't say anything more.

It was enough.

"I almost missed your departure!" At this moment, Ruby was looking at Sophia angrily. She was usually locked up in the laboratory, especially after her research was approved and she could get a place for her own.

Her professor was also happy for her and Ruby sincerely thanked her professor for his selfless cultivation over the years.

There were not many people like Professor Brown who was wiling to teach his student wholeheartedly without asking for anything in return. Thanks to his teaching and guidance, Ruby was able to succeed in her research.

As thanks, she also listed him as the secondary researchers.

After all, it was also because of his help that Ruby was able to truly obtain her research result and be valued by many people.

She couldn't be an ungrateful person.

Recently, she had also achieved some results in her research and planned to show it off in the research conference. If there were no magic beasts' tide, it should happen soon, but now it might be postponed a bit.

Many bases would be busy because they had to repair their bases and so on.

"How did you find out that I'm leaving today?" Sophia asked guiltily. She didn't tell Ruby about this because she didn't know what to say to her friend when they met.

Now that she saw Ruby in front of her…

She just felt even more guilty.

"I took a break and heard about the Carson Family's breakup, so I guessed that it might be you and Stephen," Ruby replied.

In the Carson Family, only Stephen seemed to be wiling to go against Old Master Carson. The other member of the Carson Family was very docile and looked like a lamb ready to be slaughtered, yet they were still stepping forward towards the guillotine.

Ruby really couldn't comprehend these people.

And she didn't usually bother with it.

As long as it didn't bother her research, why should she pay so much attention to that?

She was not so idle.

"You're right." Sophia looked helpless. "Don't worry, I will definitely live well when we're outside. You don't have to worry so much about me and just focus on your research."
