On the moonlit road leading to Protoss Royal Magic Academy. {Write here I hope readers remember our domain name}

Zesira simply told Lance one of her secrets.

A small number of talented demon race individuals do not need to be promoted to high ranks; they are born with a faint innate magical talent.

Zestella's talents allow her to dodge some dangers, but correspondingly, she also endures more negative emotions.

Over the past decade or so, she had encountered people who were more or less well-intentioned towards her, but with a tinge of malice mixed in. But she had never met anyone as pure and innocent as Lance.

Between the high-rise buildings, an aerial garden suspended in mid-air was supported by a transparent magical barrier. Inside, there were singing plants and glowing phantoms. The two walked underneath it, not worrying at all that they would fall.

This city-state is magical, yet there's always a strange undercurrent to it.

"Go that way."

Zethira pointed to the left turn, gesturing for Lanche not to go straight into the old district ahead.

This is an old district that looks a bit distorted in shape. Its spatial structure is actually different from the outside world, like a multi-dimensional intersection. One step into it, you could possibly reach any location in the Imperial City at any time.

"So you guys are going to fight in the Shadow World too"

Ranche asked with a hint of curiosity.

There isn't any artificial shadow world activation terminal, a large-scale magic device comparable to modern human magical engineering, on the North Continent.

Therefore, there is no "Practice Mode" corresponding to it either.

In the artificial world of shadows, death does not truly exist, while in the real shadow realm, once someone dies, they lose their life.

Zetsila, a preparatory student who hasn't even made it to first year, is about to face the real Shadow World head-on.

However, according to Ranch's understanding from the Silver Mail Priests, Protoss Royal Mage Academy's course rewards are also very generous and direct. For example, as long as enough credits are paid, most of the resources students might need can be exchanged.

Even students can be arranged by the school to observe the 【Original Stone Tablet - Light】 of the Imperial Sage.

As for the other piece, [Primal Slate - Necromancer], its holder, Duke Moridian, is currently refusing all requests to view it.

The great poet told Lanci that if his "Forged Slate" series collected more, perhaps when they were put together later, some changes could be obtained.

Because the "Primal Tablet" are originally fragments of mural paintings that can be pieced together, they were treated with a separation process. There is absolute repulsion between two "Primal Tablets".

But the fake stone slabs made by the great love poet don't have this kind of rejection, a person could bind on multiple pieces.

Looking at the records of the full version map, [Original Slate - Light] and [Original Slate - Wind] are adjacent to each other.

If it were possible to observe the "Original Slate - Light," Lance would like to experiment by putting together the "Fake Slate - Light" and "Fake Slate - Wind."

I chose a course called "Shadow World Practical Techniques." It's open to both pre-freshmen and first-year students, has a high number of credits, and wanting to become stronger and challenge the Shadow World will also accelerate the process.

Zethira might disappear from school for half a day to several days, she'll let Lance know in advance so he doesn't worry and not run around at school.

"Have you ever researched the Shadow World in South Continent"

She heard that people from the Southern Continent prefer to clear the Shadow Realm using mechanisms and intelligence compared to relying on their own strength. They also have a comprehensive system, teaching, and information knowledge sharing, which significantly increases the overall success rate of passing through the Shadow Realm.

"I've tried it twice, so I have a little bit of experience."

Lance nodded.

"Could you tell me a little about the key points of challenging the Shadow World in your Southern Continent"

Zestilla said.

This shadow world will be observed by professors and the highest-ranking seniors. Besides academic credit based on evaluations, it will largely determine whether teachers are willing to choose her and bring her into the Upper House.

"No problem, but if you're not familiar with the Shadow World, you can bring me along too."

Ranch knew that Zestilla was only a second-rank.

Logically speaking, entering the second-tier shadow realm shouldn't be a problem, but after hearing what Lord Francis had told him about Zestrella's experience during her entrance exam, he realized that the real danger might not be the shadow realm itself, but her classmates.

No need.

Zethira refused outright.

She wouldn't take him to such a dangerous place.

The two fell into a natural silence again, as most of the time, Zestilara didn't have much to say. They walked along the river where energy pulsed.

In Helm's city, there is a river that is no ordinary water. It is unrefined natural mana core liquid spring. The surface of the river is often rippled with hallucinatory patterns. For those with weak magical abilities, it is poisonous.

On the opposite bank of the river lies Helm's Hollow Zoo, a landmark mechanical structure housing numerous hellfire creatures and chimeras. However, visitors must sign a waiver acknowledging that the zoo is not responsible for any incidents such as being devoured or transformed.

Continue walking forward, passing through the endless library and the Starry Theater to reach the Protos Royal Magic Academy.

Helrm City has a library with an uncountable number of books, and the librarian is a seventh-order automaton.

Above the library, hundreds of meters high, a floating staircase leads to a theater. It is said that sitting in it makes you feel like the night sky is your ceiling, with stars within reach. However, it is not recommended for those with acrophobia or heart conditions.

Lanche had already conducted travel surveys for these places.

This is an extraordinary city, it would be a shame to miss out on visiting it.

It wasn't long.

Before entering the school's inner area, the two people came to a building on the edge of the academy to handle procedures.

Similar to the student service center at the Ictere Academy, the only difference is that this place operates 24 hours a day.

With the swift handling of the night shift staff.

After filling out some checklists, Lance successfully obtained a bracelet similar to Zestilla's.

"..."

He turned his head to look at Zerestiri's hand, where the ever-shifting crimson glow of the ring on her finger now displayed the words "150 ( 0)."

While Orchid's own bracelet read 【0】.

"Can I, as a guidance counselor, also earn points"

Lanche probably guessed the meaning of the number.

If you were a number on a follower's wristband, it should be the number in parentheses on the Zestila wristband.

All the points you earn will belong to me, but I don't need you to risk your life for them.

Zestilla said in a flat tone.

"Doesn't spending money at school also require credits"

Lance just noticed a few things while filling out the forms, such as entering the school and not using imperial currency for transactions. Students' living expenses are deducted through credits, so if there are no credits credited, they will gradually decrease. This is somewhat similar to the mode of operation at the Purgatory Corridor Academy.

While, theoretically, schools wouldn't investigate transactions conducted through Imperial Currency credits, as long as there were no reports from either the buyer or seller, if someone was reported, they would likely be penalized with a deduction of their credits until they were expelled and have it recorded in their file. This loophole, which seems deliberately left open, makes one wonder if it's a design by the school to sow distrust among students and test their moral character.

"Don't worry."

Zetheria's voice was still as calm as ever,

"While I think having an advisor-type assistant mostly outside of school is probably a better choice, on the monthly assessment day I'd like you to help me."

Zeal sincerely told Lanci the help she needed.

On weekdays, Ranch is willing to stay at school and teach her every day, or he can just come over for make-up classes on the weekends.

"Monthly assessment day"

Lan Qi rarely heard Ze Si Tila speak, let alone ask him for help.

He had previously heard that Zestilla would have a major assessment at the end of the month, followed by the Shadow World Challenge, both of which were very important to her.

> The last day of each month is the assessment day, a closed-book exam will be conducted, and the entire school becomes a semi-restricted area. The danger level of each classroom will be categorized. On that day, you must enter at least three classrooms, but you cannot distinguish what subject is taught in each classroom. For example, you can help me with exams like magical engineering or magical sequence analysis, which are also opportunities to earn a large amount of credit points.

"However, I will protect you," Zesthira said.

Lanche, upon hearing this, slightly furrowed his brows and fell into deep thought.

He always felt that this pattern sounded a bit familiar.

Isn't this outside the usual routine of his Purgatory Corridor Academy

"…"

Zesthira glanced at Lanchi.

She has very few demands for Lancy's duties, which is the only thing that is quite difficult. It's normal for him to feel some pressure, but Zestila won't force him if he doesn't want to.

For most of the time, Lan Qi will be able to move freely within the imperial city.

It's safer than staying at school.

This innocent young man, Zesthila, only wishes to live a happy and peaceful life in the Imperial City. If he decides to settle down, retirement would suit him just fine; he doesn't seem like the type to get involved in any major upheavals.

"Don't worry, even if it's part-time guidance, I will do my best."

Lance said confidently.

Since even during exams, they can bring along their guidance teachers to help them, then Lance is definitely not going to disappoint Zera Tila's expectations and show her classmates what it means to have the principal personally get involved.

Since his current job wasn't a burden, he could devote all his energy to developing new business.

The cat boss had asked him before, this time was he thinking of being principal again He said no.

I said I would give Huberlian a little surprise when we meet.

Lanche has always been a man of his word.

Because she had already served as principal once, this time being principal again might not have a strong impact on her. She wants something new.

Having already infiltrated the southwestern province through the Revival Church, he not only gained the esteem of Grand Inquisitor Caine but also received approval for his approach from conservative officials, including the governor. His image as a leader disseminated widely is gradually becoming the favored candidate for a new faction.

With more support, as a pioneer he might be able to start entering imperial politics, beginning in the House of Commons.

Recommend this book.
