Chapter 26: The Summer Assessment
Chapter 26: The Summer Assessment
In the blink of an eye, June had arrived. As the setting sun shone on the library's glass, Luo Qixi patted her face and put away the books in front of her.
Over the past three months, she has fully mastered the shortened chanting of higher and lower level spells, and her total mana reserves have reached a new level... Now she even feels like she is a water saint.
However, when I told my teacher about this idea, I received a cold response: "You're not ready yet."
Well……
But actually, I feel like I'm all ready... So when Loki has nothing to do, she'll secretly look at books about Saint-level magic, and she even managed to cast one successfully.
Besides magic, Loki's skill in using her staff has also become increasingly proficient... She feels that as long as she holds onto the Silver Moon Tsunami tightly, she might be able to fight against a king-level mage...
That's right... With a faster chanting speed, I wouldn't be inferior when facing a King-level mage...
It's just that the teacher isn't willing to let him become a Saint-level mage for the time being... though I don't know why.
"Luo Qixi, are you leaving?" Lanleta asked instinctively after seeing Luo Qixi pack up her books. "Could you wait a moment? I have a question I'd like to ask you..."
"Ah... I'm sorry, Lanleta." Loki gave a slightly apologetic smile. "I still have to see my teacher... and if I were to explain it... it might take a long time."
"Ah..." Lanleta pursed her lips, watched Luo Qixi's departing figure and sighed slightly. She wondered if it was just her imagination, but she felt that Luo Qixi seemed a little different from before in the past few months.
However, Lanleta knew that she would be taking the exam soon... Hopefully, she will succeed...
Thinking this, Lanleta turned her attention back to the book.
Along the way, Luo Qixi walked briskly through the school corridors, and naturally encountered some students passing by.
"That's Luo Qixi! I heard she's the principal's student."
"Really? That must be amazing!"
"It's said that her strength might be approaching the Saint level!"
"Really?"
Listening to the students' whispers, Luo Qixi couldn't help but smile... It's not just Saint-level!
I might be even better than some professors at shortening my chanting...
"Luo Qixi...are you going to see the principal?" Just as she was thinking, a professor stopped her, saying with a slightly obsequious smile, "As expected of the principal's student."
"I've heard you're getting more and more amazing..."
"Is there something you need, Professor Krudo?" After becoming stronger, Loki felt much more confident... After all, she was a Water Saint (not quite), so she didn't seem to be as respectful as she had been when facing the professor before.
"It's like this..." Professor Krudho smiled gently, "I have a document here... I hope you can pass it on to the principal for me."
"Professor, why don't you give it to the teacher yourself?"
"Because the principal is never in his office..." Krudo gave a slightly awkward smile. "And as you know, Loki, the principal and we aren't exactly... close."
After all, you've said quite a few bad things about the teacher before.
Looking at the professor, Luo Qixi pursed her lips and said, "It would be better if you talked to the teacher about this yourself." After saying that, Luo Qixi quickly left, leaving the professor alone, looking at her retreating figure with a bit of embarrassment.
Soon, Luo Qixi arrived at the Astronomical Tower. Because it was summer, the sun had not yet completely set. A few rays of the setting sun hung on the horizon, shining through the windows of the Astronomical Tower and turning Luo Qixi's figure golden.
"Bang bang bang".
She gently knocked on the door of the room.
"Teacher... are you awake?"
"Why are you here so early today?" A few seconds later, the teacher's voice slowly came through.
Luo Qixi pursed her lips and pushed open the door, and as expected, she saw her sleepy-eyed teacher sitting in the coffin.
The most interesting time is right after the teacher wakes up... At this time, she will answer any question the teacher asks, and she even looks kind of cute...
Luo Qixi would never tell the teacher that this was the reason she arrived early.
"Teacher, today is the day of the assessment."
"Ah... I almost forgot." Cinderella blinked, staring blankly at Loki, and after thinking for a few seconds, she said, "So, are you ready?"
"I've been preparing for a long time, teacher!" Loki said confidently, holding her staff.
"Is that so?" Cinderella nodded gently, then slowly got up, stretched, and leisurely put on the dress that Loki had given her.
After tidying up, she shook her head, as if she had finally come to her senses.
Seeing that Loki was already sitting at the table waiting for her, Cinderella nodded slightly and slowly sat down as well.
"Now that you're ready... I'll tell you what the exam will be about." Cidelyn's voice turned cool, indicating that she had returned to her normal state.
She looked Luo Qixi up and down and said, "Your test is to solo a maze with a difficulty level of B."
"B-rank?" Luo Qixi blinked, instinctively feeling that it was a bit...too easy?
After all, he was already an A-rank adventurer before. With so many enhancements, he should be able to face A-rank difficulty dungeons on his own, right?
"What's wrong?" Cinderella noticed Loki's expression and frowned slightly. "Do you think it's too easy?"
"This time you're participating alone, and I'll just be here waiting for you."
Ah... The teacher thinks it's too difficult for him because he doesn't know that he's actually already a water saint, right?
Thinking of this, Luo Qixi pursed her lips and said, "Teacher, I have something to tell you."
"I am now a Water Saint Mage."
"Oh." Cinderella's response wasn't as excited or surprised as Loki had imagined... She simply nodded and said, "So?"
"So...so..." Luo Qixi said, puffing out her cheeks slightly, "So, teacher, I think I can challenge an A-level difficulty maze."
"..."
Upon hearing this, Sidrin closed her eyes slightly... then leaned back in her chair and slowly said, "Challenging a maze alone and challenging a maze in a group are completely different."
"Luo Qixi... don't be so naive."
Innocent……
Well……
Cinderella's comments made Loki a little angry. I'm already a Water Saint... Why does the teacher still think of herself as a child?!
Teacher Mingming is a child too!
Luo Qixi muttered, "Teacher, please don't...treat me like a little kid..."
"..."
Upon hearing this, Cinderella slightly opened her eyes and quietly looked at Loki in front of her... then, as if she understood something, she suddenly shook her head.
Why is the teacher shaking her head?
Do you think I definitely can't do it?
Luo Qixi's somewhat sensitive mind was filled with many ideas, but the most obvious one was... that she wanted to prove herself to her teacher.
"In short," Sidlin said slowly, "this is a maze challenge you're undertaking all by yourself."
"My requirement is a B-rank maze." The teacher's voice was as cold as before, but for some reason, Luo Qixi sensed a hint of... irony?
"I understand, teacher." She pursed her lips, choosing not to explain further, but instead gripped her staff and said, "I will prove it to you..."
As she spoke, she walked towards the door.
"Wait a minute..." Cidel's voice came, making her stop in her tracks.
"These are the silver coins for tonight," Catherine said slowly.
Luo Qixi didn't turn her head upon hearing this, but said somewhat stubbornly, "Let's skip it tonight, teacher."
"If I get my blood sucked... it will affect my condition."
After saying that, she quickly walked out of the astronomical tower.
Watching her retreating figure, Catherine twirled the silver coin between her fingers before finally placing it casually on the table.
"What an idiot."
The cool, clear voice echoed through the astronomical tower.
