Chapter 144

"But you shouldn’t… spend so much money for unrelated people," Caroline tried to persuade.

But Swis rolled her eyes at her and said, "How can Xerath’s situation be considered unrelated?!"

Luna also agreed and said, "Yes!"

"Don’t encourage her to spend money!"

Sylas smiled and said, "It’s okay. She doesn’t need to report every item she spends her pocket money on… Besides, I don’t think she wants to boss me around anymore."

"That won’t work either!" Caroline held onto the restless Swis and said, "We want to teach those idiots a lesson, right? But even if they get beaten up, those idiots won’t know why they were beaten up. So we should…"

"Should?"

Listen, young ones," Caroline pressed their heads down, "we have to make a big fuss. First, we need to make sure everyone in the whole school knows why those idiots were taught a lesson. And after they lose, we should publicly announce their crimes. Little idiot, the things you’ve collected will come in handy." She was definitely referring to Swis, who not only kept records by herself but also had the others help find out why those idiots joined the "Star Song Castle, why they dare to be so arrogant with the Xerath Association.

"Alright, big sister idiot."

"And we need to beat them up really hard, the harder the better. It would be great if the bruises lasted for a few months."

Suddenly, Sylas asked, "Can’t we kill them?"

Everyone suddenly took a breath together and said, "Are you serious?"

Sylas nodded, "Getting rid of someone for good will make the bad guys stay silent forever."

Luna said, "Don’t joke around! If you kill a wizard at Star Song Castle, the Oversight Committee will definitely get involved. Even though the laws of the kingdom don’t apply to you, it means you can’t leave here. Otherwise, you’ll still be arrested in places where the Wizard’s Covenant is enforced."

"Oh," Sylas felt a bit defeated, "I can’t kill."

"And also," Caroline continued, "we need to start a fan club for Xerath. At least we should all come together and cheer her on."

Sylas slowly nodded, accepting this idea.

Luna asked excitedly, "What? You want to send the little fairy into a fight? What about me?"

Swis looked her up and down and said, "I’m not sure if you’re capable… but Sylas definitely is. Do you know she gets a perfect score in every element syntax exam?"

"Getting a perfect score in element syntax doesn’t mean she can use it in practical spells."

Caroline showed a proud expression that said, "You finally understand what I’m talking about!" and said confidently, "Yes, so we have to learn spell combat in the next semester before we duel. By then, my silly little brother can also be useful."

"What about me? What about me?"

Caroline said, "Do spatial mages also need to fight? The two of us can cheer everyone on from behind. We must have a lot of people watching, spreading the reputation of the loser and making them unable to hold their heads up for the rest of their lives. Just imagine, when you graduate and become an official mage, the defeated opponent will be sitting across from you at meetings. Hahaha!"

She laughed for a while, smoothed her chest, and said, "I feel so happy!"

"My silly sister is really dangerous. Sometimes, as her brother, I really don’t want to look too much like her," Swis whispered.

"What will happen if we lose?" Luna asked.

Everyone was stunned, as if nobody had thought about the possibility of losing.

Sylas muttered, "No, we can’t lose… absolutely can’t lose…"

Caroline slapped Swis and said, "So study hard, children! Swis, you should go back to your dormitory." She pointed to the balcony. Swis reluctantly walked out, using the cover of the night to jump off the balcony.

After everyone left, it was almost time to go to bed. Sylas looked at a book, but Luna, instead of reading her worn-out world history book as usual, lay in bed and looked at the ceiling.

After a while, she said, "Wow, we’re going to fight for Xerath!"

Sylas smiled and said, "Aren’t you the space wizard who encourages everyone?"

The materials and spells used for spatial magic are bulky and lengthy, making it a difficult spell to use in practical combat, although not impossible.

"Anyway, I’m also a part of this mission! It’s so amazing! We should make a logo for the Lily Knight Order! And if Xerath comes out to sign books, I’ll definitely take our logo for her to sign! Then I’ll hang it up at home!"

Sylas thought about the possible surprised expression on Xerath’s face and laughed softly, asking, "Why is it called the Lily Knight Order?"

"What’s wrong with the Lily Knight Order?"

Sylas slowly shook her head and said, while pondering, "It sounds like there’s some hidden double meaning."

"Ha, you’re overthinking it! It’s just because the archmage medal is also called the Golden Lily Medal!"

"Oh…"

"By the way, after ‘Revealing Day’ we have to start preparing for the exams. Have you figured out the schedule for your classes?"

"Some." Sylas closed her book, feeling a bit tired.

"Have you decided where to go for ‘Revealing Day’?"

"Aren’t you going home?" For some reason, Sylas and Luna never asked each other about their family situations. But based on Luna’s extravagant spending habits and luxurious clothing, it was clear she came from a wealthy family. She would go home once a month, even though it required two teleportations to finally arrive. She didn’t seem to mind the dizziness. What’s more, she had a brother at Star Song Castle too, and they would usually go home together. The money spent on each teleportation could cover a semester’s living expenses for some students.

"No, suddenly I don’t feel like going home. I want to stay and play. Won’t you join me?"

Sylas smiled lightly and raised the book in her hand. "I still have to review. I need to score at least 85 in all four Elemental Theory courses to be able to choose practical subjects."

"Wow, is it difficult for you to score 85?"

Sylas smiled and didn’t say a word. She dismissed the light ball and hid under the covers.

The next morning, when Luna arrived at the classroom, some familiar students in the front row said to her, "Did you know? Except for world history, the last exam will be on the 10th."

"When is the world history exam then?"

"On the 18th!"

"Oh my goodness! Who decided that?"

"Sauran! Oh my, is there nobody in our school who can replace this stupid teacher for world history?"

Sylas replied very seriously, "Yes, he should go teach hypnosis and let anyone else teach world history. People should do what they’re good at."

The other person widened their eyes in astonishment and exaggeratedly leaned back, saying, "Even the little fairy is so mean. Sauran must be really annoying."

Luna said angrily, "Exams are the worst! Once I graduate, hmph, once I graduate, I will make my dad catch him!"

The holidays for the New Year and Revealing Day quickly passed. Throughout the holidays, everyone studied together. Sylas was full of energy and could focus on studying or doing review questions in any place.

This revision exercise was discovered by Sylas deep in the library. As expected, the author was "B Truce", and the cover was quite old. Surprisingly, there was only one copy in the library (the Rost Family’s twins even suspected that this was written by B Truce himself when he was studying at Star Song Castle and left it here).

This book had been gathering dust for many years, but when Sylas held it, even the oldest books could appear elegant. Some brave people asked her what kind of book it was, and Sylas answered sincerely, "It’s a very good review exercise about theory of the four elements."

This answer caused excitement in the entire Snowfall Yard (the dormitory building where she lived). On the first morning of the new year, Sylas summoned all the students in Snowfall Yard who could call upon the water lord (probably just over a dozen) to the common lounge to make handwritten copies. In this way, one copy became two, and two copies became four, until everyone had a copy.

Many students didn’t even know that the water lord could do this kind of task, and some water lords themselves were unaware. Making handwritten copies was also a very taxing task for the water lords. Some couldn’t persist until they finished the whole book and approached depletion of their magical energy, so they had to be sent back to the Elemental Realm along with the water lord. But the students found alternatives. Some had two water lords working together, while others simply did it themselves. Only Leunen kept working, while Sylas enjoyed doing the exercises on the side.

Leunen approached quietly and asked, "Ma’am, can you pretend to have depleted magical energy and let me go rest for a while? Copying this thing is so boring."

Sylas innocently looked at it and said, "But I haven’t depleted my magical energy."

"Then aren’t you tired? Look, many lords have gone back because the mages have depleted their magical energy. You can’t stand out from the others. Some people might be jealous of your talent and might badmouth you, just like Sauran badmouths his lord. You don’t have apprentices to worry about dealing with bad people."

Sylas giggled and said, "Okay, I understand what you mean. You make a very valid point. Let’s have some tea, and then you can pretend to have depleted your magical energy and take a break, alright?"

"You’re really considerate!" Leunen happily put away its eight tentacles that were constantly writing and ran up the stairs. Soon after, a droplet of water descended from upstairs, carrying Sylas’s teacup. With each wriggle, the surface of the water trembled slightly.

Leunen lazily went back while sending a water droplet to deliver water, obviously afraid that Sylas would make it work some more.

Swis looked up and saw the water droplet, and figured it was left by Leunen. He casually exclaimed, "Oh, how loyal and dedicated the lord is. Not only fighting until the last grain of sand but even sending children after death just to fulfill the master’s command."

After half of the morning, the first group of people inspected the finished product. Someone with sharp eyes turned to the answers at the back and asked Sylas, "These… these answers are too brief, aren’t they?"

That’s right, the crucial thing in problem-solving is the steps, but here it’s clearly just the answers.
