Chapter 706: Chapter 520: Study Meeting_2 Chapter 706: Chapter 520: Study Meeting_2 “I really cannot do this!”

Hearing this, Mary’s face turned pale. She had a clear conscience, she was an arts student, not sports. Running five kilometers in the morning then doing a hundred push-up punches, wasn’t this some kind of torture?!

If she really implements the words of this young girl, Mary probably won’t have the energy to go to school today.

Luckily, this girl named Lorena was still very obedient.

“It’s true, it’s not good to have high demands on beginners. Then go according to your plan, how many times do you plan to do it?”

“This…….five…….”

“Huh?”

“…….Ten times.”

This was Mary’s last stand.

Although Lorena did not force Mary to exercise, Mary still did her training, biting her teeth, and after eating breakfast and taking another bath, she dragged her aching body to school.

Woo………

At this moment, Mary only felt soreness all over her body. Every step she took seemed to cause her joints to sound out in agony. However, as a lady, she still maintained her demeanor and headed towards the school building. But just then, a petite figure suddenly pounced and hugged Mary.

“Good morning! Mary.”

“Good Morning…..Asher….”

Seeing the slightly shorter black-haired girl next to her, Mary also smiled faintly. This was her friend Asherica, a very intelligent and energetic young girl. Among the three of them, Mary and Shirley were history students, only Asherica was from the mathematics department. From this point alone, one could tell how smart she was.

“What’s wrong? Mary?”

Noticing that her friend seemed a bit down, Asher also looked up at her worriedly.

“You seem very tired, are you okay?”

“I’m fine, I just….did some morning exercises.”

“Morning exercise? Didn’t know you had such a hobby.”

“Uh….I just thought, occasionally I should do some workouts.”

For Mary, this was not an excuse. Since the evening when she was chased by the steel monster, she had deeply felt that she should do some training. But….there should also be a gradual process in everything, things like running five kilometers as soon as you wake up in the morning….Mary didn’t think it was something a lady could do.

“But isn’t it a bit too tiring? You have to take care of your health, okay?”

“Yes, I will be careful. It won’t happen again….”

To be honest, even though she was tired, Mary didn’t dislike this type of training. Jogging by the river in the morning, just focusing on running, seemed to empty her mind. At that moment, whether it was Shirley’s affairs, or those monsters chasing her, or that nightmare-like city that made people feel fearful, it all seemed to be left behind. Not thinking about anything, not considering anything.

“Well, that’s all right….Huh?”

Just as Asherica was hugging Mary and being spoiled, she seemed to notice something. Asherica released Mary, staring at Mary’s right hand.

“Mary, what’s that ring?”

“Huh?”

Upon hearing Asherica’s question, Mary froze for a moment, looking down at her finger, she realized she was wearing a delicate ring on her right index finger. It was silver on the outside and the ring itself was very ordinary, nothing special – of course, Mary knew that on the inside of the ring, there was a strange pattern formed by skulls and hammers.

But because the pattern was on the inside, generally people would not see it, and therefore, in the eyes outsiders, it was just a simple silver ring.

“This, this………”

For a moment not knowing how to explain, Mary seemed a bit nervous. Seeing her reaction, Asherica raised her eyebrows.

“Wait, isn’t it a man, was it a gift from a man to you?”

“If you mean, a gift then….oh….”

Under Asher’s aggressive questioning, Mary subconsciously replied, then she immediately realized something was wrong. Sure enough, upon hearing Mary’s answer, Asherica seemed ready to jump up.

“What? It really was a gift from a man? Who? Who was it?”

“Calm down, Asher….”

Seeing her friend reacting like a cat who had its tail stepped on, Mary quickly started calming her down.

“There is no special meaning to this, actually…I’ve been having nightmares this past few days, so he gave me this ring, saying it would help me calm down….just to protect me….”

“But, Mary you don’t have many male friends.”

Asher looked at Mary suspiciously.

“Who exactly would give you something like this?”

If Duanmu Huai was here, he would definitely cry out that it was unfair. He chose the ring because it was convenient, unlike a necklace or bracelet which is troublesome, how could he know this would happen?

“This…actually…”

For a moment, Mary didn’t know how to explain, but soon she changed the subject.

“Ah, it seems quite lively over there at Masters College, what happened? Let’s go take a look.”

“Huh? Wait, Mary!”

Watching Mary turn and leave, Asherica also made a dissatisfied complaint. However, she followed Mary, her skirt in hand, to the entrance of Masters College. There was a big group of students gathered in the corridor, and at the office door, Mary saw Professor Capek sweating profusely, talking to the police…

“Excuse me, what happened?”

Mary also started a conversation with a familiar female student. Upon hearing Mary’s inquiry, she nodded.

“Ah, Mary, good morning. You don’t know yet, Professor Capek’s office was apparently broken into by thieves last night.”

“Huh? Is that so?”

Hearing this answer, Mary was taken aback. Masters College had comprehensive security, and even the security guards were armed. How could a thief get into Masters College to steal things?

“And, what was lost is quite strange.”

“What did Professor Capek lose?”

Mary’s first reaction was the briefcase that Professor Capek always held, but upon closer look, she noticed that Professor Capek was still holding the briefcase securely, so….

“A safe, a safe! Can you believe it? This morning, when Professor Capek arrived at his office, he found that his safe was missing!”

“…………………huh?!!”

Hearing this, both Mary and Asherica, who had just arrived, were stunned.
