Let them live with that regret for the rest of their lives!

Although letting insects crawl into her ear was a bit hard to accept, it was really effective. Without it, she probably would still be scratching her head in frustration.

The assessment took a long time, so Nora simply lay down on the table and went straight into the exhibition hall to continue examining the collection.

It was after Nora entered the exhibition hall that she opened her eyes again, having been lying on the table.

Meanwhile, Elise had finished the exam from memory and was about to take a nap when Nora's voice suddenly came from beside her: "Elise's legs are so weak."

"Huh!?" Iris was startled by the voice, then controlled her mind to ask Nora, "What did you just say?"

"Did I just say something?" Nora's voice sounded a little flustered.

Elise guessed that Nora must have been bored after finishing the exam and started daydreaming, otherwise she wouldn't have suddenly said that.

Elise unconsciously curled her toes, suddenly feeling like she was being teased by Nora.

"You just said my legs are so soft, do you have some kind of fetish for my feet?"

"How could that be? I didn't!"

Because of Nora, Elise also gave up the idea of ​​sleeping and started chatting with her in a casual way.

She wasn't sure if it was just her imagination, but she felt that Nora seemed to have a sudden realization today.

Nearly an hour later, the first theoretical exam was over.

After experiencing a memory, Nora woke up again and found that her body was indeed aching.

However, perhaps because the duration was relatively short, the soreness was not severe.

But before she could even fully experience the changes in her body, she noticed that Elise was looking at her with a strange expression.

Nora blinked, completely unaware of what was happening.

Fortunately, since there were bugs in my ear, I could just ask any questions I had directly: "Why are you looking at me like that?"

"You have the nerve to ask me that?" Elise smirked, gave a soft snort, and then ignored the other person.

Elise's reaction left Nora somewhat bewildered, as she had been inside the exhibition hall the whole time and had no idea what was going on.

Could it be that Elise kept calling him and he didn't respond, so she got angry?

Nora thought about it more and more and felt that this must be the case.

Just as Nora was wondering what to do, a classmate she was on fairly good terms with came over and started talking to her about the assessment that had just taken place.

Nora hadn't even looked at the questions, so she had no idea what the other person was talking about and could only give perfunctory replies.

In the evening, the theoretical examination officially ended.

After Nora packed her things, she teleported directly back to the teleportation hall near Elise Manor, along with Elise.

Seeing Elise beside her, Nora quickly walked over to her and said, "Thank you for your hard work today."

"You know I've worked hard, so have you thought about how to thank me?"

"Shall I massage your feet?"

"I knew it," Elise muttered, then said to Nora, "You said my legs were so weak before, you didn't say that on purpose because you liked me, did you?"

Hearing Elise say this, Nora was stunned. When did she ever say such a thing?

Although Elise's feet were indeed very soft and quite comfortable to massage, there was no way she would let Elise know about this.

At that very moment, a clear, ethereal voice rang in Nora's ears: "That worm can help you convey your thoughts. Could it be that you unintentionally passed on these words when you entered the exhibition hall?"

Hearing what the other person said, Nora finally realized why Elise had looked at her with that strange expression back then.

It turns out it was a problem with the insects!

So the question is, what should we do now?

Nora has one good point: she's direct.

Although I'm a little embarrassed that people know, since things have come to this point, I might as well just admit it openly and honestly.

"That's right, I just like pinching them, so what!"

Volume 1: Chapter 193 Fear of Insufficient Firepower

Faced with Nora's directness, Elise was momentarily at a loss for words.

However, Nora's answer was indeed somewhat unexpected, as if she had suddenly realized something.

She reached out and gently tapped Nora's head: "Why do you seem a little different?"

"What's the difference? Anyway, you found out by accident, so just admit it. It's not a big deal, just a little embarrassing."

"You're still embarrassed?"

Looking at Elise's smiling face, Nora wanted to say something in response, but she couldn't bring herself to say it.

"Let's go to my house first. I've prepared a set of magical artifacts for you. Try to use them in the combat assessment tomorrow."

"Oh."

Back at the manor, Elise took out a set of magical artifacts she had specially customized for Nora. They were simple and straightforward, covering offense, defense, and even movement.

These magical artifacts were certainly not taken from Flora. After all, only a few days had passed, and even if Flora didn't sleep every day, she couldn't possibly make a set of magical artifacts.

These were bought by Elise with gold coins. Although the functions of these magical artifacts are simple and crude, they can be given to Flora to modify after Nora finishes using them, so they won't be wasted.

Looking at the pile of magical artifacts on the table, Nora twitched her lips: "Do we need to use all of these?"

"What else can we do? If we're going to hide our strength, we should definitely see it through to the end."

After giving the magical device to Nora, Elise sent her directly to the back mountain to familiarize herself with it on her own. She should be able to do so in one night.

It wasn't until evening that Nora ran back excitedly. Elise had given her the magical artifact in a simple and straightforward way, as if it were tailor-made for her.

Seeing Nora's excited expression, Elise asked casually, "How do you feel?"

"They feel pretty good. By the way, these magical artifacts must have cost you a lot of money, right? How about I give you the money?"

"No need, after all, I'm the one asking you for help, and I'll be recycling this thing after I'm done using it."

"Oh."

Since Elise had already said so, Nora didn't insist on giving her money. But just then, as if she had thought of something, she pointed to her ear and asked, "How do I get the bug out of my ear?"

"That's easy, just put your finger next to your ear."

Upon hearing this, Nora followed Elise's instructions and placed her finger near her ear. She then felt a strange sensation in her ear, and the worm returned to her hand, transforming into the shape of a ring.

"Alright, I'm all set. Let's see how I perform tomorrow."

Seeing Nora preparing to leave, Elise said irritably, "Have you forgotten something?"

"Oh right, I almost forgot. I'll press it for you right now~"

Qunba Shanling Jiulinqi X House

The practical assessment officially began on the second day.

In the past, practical assessments required entering a pre-prepared area of ​​the academy, where magical beasts were placed, and the results were determined by hunting and killing these beasts.

However, due to the exchange between colleges, the assessment was temporarily changed to a duel.

The location was one of the arenas prepared by the academy.

Many students are praying that they won't draw any strong opponents.

Elise sat quietly in the audience, watching the students' battle, and couldn't help but yawn.

Nora, who was sitting nearby, also looked drowsy.

Elise originally thought it would be a while before she would be chosen, but she didn't expect that she would be chosen to take the stage less than half an hour after sitting down.

Elise's opponent is a fourth-order mage.

Elise was quite famous at school, not only for her looks and family background, but also for her arrogant behavior. Being famous also meant that information about her was transparent.

She was only a third-tier archmage, a fact that was generally known to the students in the academy.

In the eyes of most people, a third-tier opponent facing a fourth-tier opponent has virtually no chance of winning.

Although the outcome of the battle was not in any suspense, many people still came to watch because of the beautiful Elise.

"Junior, I suggest you forfeit. It wouldn't be good if you accidentally hurt your face," Elise's opponent, a senior student, said, staring at her.

"Enough with the nonsense. If you're not going to make a move, I'm about to start."

With a wave of her hand, several magical cannons appeared beside her. Each cannon was inlaid with magic crystals, which meant that these cannons consumed gold coins instead of magic power.

Upon seeing this, the senior student's pupils constricted slightly. Without hesitation, she drew her pistol and attacked Iris. She had to eliminate Iris before the magic cannon finished charging, or she would undoubtedly lose.

However, the attacks were blocked by an invisible magical barrier when they came within a meter of Elise. A large magical artifact, taller than a person, appeared beside Elise at some unknown time.

"That's the latest miniature shield generator from the Magic Research Institute." Someone recognized the magical device Elise was using.

The shield generator is different from ordinary shield-type magical devices. It is mainly used for the protection of positions during wartime and cannot be penetrated by ordinary attacks.

The only drawback is its large size; even the miniature shield generator is as tall as a person, standing right next to Elise.

"You, you're cheating!" With both magical cannons and shield generators, this senior student's mentality has completely collapsed. How is she supposed to fight this?

"Since the referee didn't disqualify me, it means my actions were fine. Although my skill level is indeed inferior to my senior's, the gold coins seem to fall within the realm of skill~"

As Elise spoke, she took out a magic heavy machine gun, a weapon specifically designed for positional warfare, from her spatial ring. At this moment, Elise herself was a small magic position.

Faced with this situation, let alone a fourth-tier mage, even a fifth-tier mage might not be able to affect Elise.

With the Magic Cannon about to complete its charge, the fourth-tier senior student had no choice but to forfeit.

The range of several magical cannons could completely cover the entire arena. Her defensive magical artifacts had no chance of resisting the bombardment of the cannons. Not surrendering would only lead to a more crushing defeat.

As the referee announced the result, Elise waved her hand and put away all the large magical artifacts.

She had only taken out a small portion of it when, unexpectedly, the senior student withdrew.

On stage, Nora couldn't help but smirk after seeing Elise's fighting style. No wonder Elise had been so confident back then, saying she had her own solution.

So this is how it was solved?

Volume 1: Chapter 194 Welcome to the Ancient Arena

Before they knew it, it was afternoon, and Nora finally made her appearance.

The magical device Elise prepared for her was simple and straightforward: just infuse it with magic power and then bombard it in the approximate location.

After discovering Nora's fighting style, Da Congming tried to get close to her before she could react, but getting close to Nora would only make things worse.

Elise prepared a close-range magical device for her, similar to a pile driver. It was a magical device specifically designed for self-propelled magical golems, and only Nora's immense strength could use it. Anyone would suffer from being hit in close combat.

The practical assessment lasted for three days, and Elise and Nora successfully qualified to enter the Ancient Arena.

Flora was also shortlisted. The magical artifact that Iris commissioned her to use was not used by Iris herself, but was used by Flora first.

Although most of those magical artifacts were still unfinished and didn't look particularly impressive, they were things that Iris had spent a lot of money to create, and they were more than enough to deal with the students.

After the final day of the assessment, Elise returned to her family's manor.

As soon as she got home, she saw Elena walking towards her.

"what happened?"

"Let me ask you something. Do you know anything about ancient arenas?"

"I know, why are you asking?"

"My sister did well in her practical assessment and qualified to enter the Ancient Arena. I'd like to ask if there are any dangers inside?"

Seeing Elena's worried expression, Elise chuckled and said, "Don't worry, there are only benefits and no drawbacks there. Besides, I'll be going there myself, so I'll help take care of anything that might happen."

Hearing Elise's words, Elena felt relieved: "Then I'll leave it to you."

"Don't worry about leaving your sister in my care."

For some reason, Elena felt something was off when she heard Elise say that.

Before she could think further, Rumia leaned closer: "The Empire has opened the Ancient Arena? Can I go in and try it out?"

"There probably won't be much of a chance this time. There will be an eighth-tier being present, so you'd better not get close. However, I know a similar place. If you want to go, I can take you there."
