"There's... there's nothing there."
Su Lu smiles and asks, "What exactly happened to you guys?"
"There was....there was a person just now... who popped out of that oil painting!"
Stammered Mi Jiaying.
"It's not a big deal... This is the Mysterious Academy! Mystery is the foundation here..." Su Lu explained, "And... my students, please take a look at the wall clock!"
"Ah! It's past 11 o'clock? How is that possible?"
Bai Ling and Mi Jiaying looked surprised, "We were sure just now..."
"Perhaps you two were so immersed in the beauty of the campus that you forgot about the time, but I still have to remind you...Walking around the campus at non-designated hours is a very risky behavior. If caught once, you could lose credits."
Su Lu continued, "However, since you two don't really have any credits to lose at the moment, I'll let it rest this time. Shouldn't you head back to your dorms now?"
"Yes, we should."
