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

Lost combat techniques, ancient and powerful magic, and even Wu Zhisi and Lu Keba may obtain ancient weapons as rewards.

"I know what you're saying, but don't forget, there are only a limited number of spots available."

"I'm quite confident in my abilities," Nora said confidently.

"While that's true, the final exam is divided into three parts. I'm not worried about the practical aspects, but what about the application of magical devices and theoretical knowledge?"

Nora wasn't cut out for academics; her grades in both areas were barely passing, far from enough to secure a spot in the Ancient Arena.

Nora, who had been excited, suddenly felt as if she had been doused with cold water, and her whole demeanor became listless.

However, she quickly thought of Elise, feeling that if it were Elise, she would definitely have a way to help her solve those problems.

Sensing Nora's gaze, Elise lazily stretched her body, revealing the perfect curves beneath her long dress.

"I just took a walk, and my legs are a little sore."

"let me help you!"

As long as Elise allows me to enter the Ancient Arena, I'd be happy to do anything, not just a foot massage, but a full-body massage.

"This isn't the place to talk. Come back to your room with me."

"it is good."

Nora picked up Elise, jumped onto the balcony, and hurriedly carried her inside.

It gives the impression that he can't wait to have something happen with Elise.

Fortunately, everyone in the manor was Elise's person, and no one dared to gossip.

After all, Q needed Elise's help, and even the way Noel pulled down the umbrella and put down the flag of Mio and Elise became much gentler. She didn't even need Elise to say anything; she had already taken off Elise's shoes and skillfully kneaded them.

Nora's behavior reminded Elise of the word "lackey," though Nora probably wouldn't understand even if she said it.

"The reason why the Second Academy opened the ancient arena this time is mainly for the academy exchange in a little over a month. At that time, not only other academies of the Empire, but also academies of the Kingdom will participate."

“I know that.” This kind of event is held once a year. Nora remembered that the last one was held in the Kingdom, and this time it’s the Empire’s turn.

"After all, this kind of event is being held in front of their own doorstep, which is why the academy opened the ancient arena."

"and then?"

"The practical exam accounts for a large portion of the score, so you don't need to worry about the theory. As for the use of magical artifacts, I know what the assessment will include, so you can practice it specifically and it won't be a problem."

Nora blinked: "Then that means there's no problem."

"No, you still need to hide your strength. I will have someone specially make a set of magical artifacts for you. At that time, you should try to rely on the magical artifacts to fight."

“Okay.” Nora nodded, agreeing with whatever Elise said.

"You must work hard and become a key member."

Nora remembered Elise asking for her help, and couldn't help but ask, "Can I only help you if I become a main force member?"

"More or less, you wouldn't understand even if I explained it to you, you'll see when the time comes."

"Okay, what about you? Aren't you going to enter the Ancient Arena?" Nora looked at Elise with some curiosity.

Although Elise is only at the fourth rank, she is well aware of Elise's strength. Even the Holy Maiden of the Eternal Church is no match for her. If she works hard, becoming a key member will not be difficult at all.

"As for me, it depends on the situation. I'll definitely go to the Ancient Arena, but I can't be too conspicuous." Although that's what she said, Elise had already figured out what to do.

Her family owns a gold mine, so she'll have Flora customize a whole set of magical artifacts for her; she plans to fight using her wealth.

……

The next day, Elise went to the academy early in the morning to look for Flora, but she couldn't find her. After inquiring, she learned that Flora hadn't been to school for several days.

Or rather, Flora hasn't been to the academy since Elise gave her the spatial ring.

It's obvious that Flora is hiding at home researching those ancient magical artifacts.

With that in mind, Elise didn't stay at the academy any longer and left directly through the teleportation array.

Although she didn't know where Flora lived, she knew where Elena lived, and going to Elena's house was the right way to go.

Elena is currently renting a place in the inner city, where the security is much better than in the outer city.

Before long, Elise arrived at Elena's residence with practiced ease. Elena was at her house, and Flora was probably the only one there.

She knocked on the door, stood there for a while, and then saw the door open.

Flora, sporting large dark circles under her eyes, stared blankly out the door, wondering who had come to see her.

"You haven't had any rest these past few days, have you?" Iris couldn't help but ask, looking at Flora's almost ascending appearance.

"Oh, it's Miss Elise. Actually, it's not as exaggerated as you say. I do get half an hour of rest every day." Flora smiled a little embarrassedly.

Hearing her say that, Elise realized that she couldn't bring too many good things to the other party at once next time, otherwise Elena would definitely come after her if she died suddenly.

She sighed helplessly and said, "Aren't you going to invite me in for a bit?"

Reminded by Iris, Flora finally realized what was happening and quickly invited Iris inside to rest. She didn't even care how Iris found her; after all, Iris was a noblewoman, and finding her would be a piece of cake.

"Miss Elise, please have a seat. I'll go get you..." Flora hadn't finished speaking when she saw a strange heart-shaped mark appear in Elise's eyes, and then, nothing more.

Elise picked up the limp Flora and placed her on the bed, and couldn't help but sigh, "Young people these days are so lucky; they can fall asleep as soon as they lie down."

Volume 1: Chapter 191 The Guilty-Hearted Elise

"I am..."

When Flora woke up, she stared blankly at the familiar room, and it took her a while to realize that this was her room.

She remembered that Miss Elise came to see her, and she invited her into the house, and then she knew nothing more.

She lifted the covers and looked around. Her clothes were neatly put on, and she didn't feel anything strange. As for the things in the house, she couldn't be bothered to check them; she knew the other person wouldn't want them.

Just as Flora was wondering, the door opened and Iris slowly walked in. Seeing that Flora was awake, she smiled and said, "You're finally awake."

"What's wrong with me?"

"You fainted as soon as I arrived. I guess it's from lack of sleep. Although I know you love researching magical technology, you still need to pay attention to your sleep," Elise said seriously, while also using mental suggestion.

Flora felt a moment of dizziness, then nodded: "I understand, thank you for your concern."

"By the way, Miss Iris, is there something you need from me this time?" Flora asked curiously. Was she worried that I would run away with the things?

No, no, no, Miss Elise is not that kind of person.

"I asked you to come here so that you could help me customize a magical artifact," Elise said, revealing the purpose of her visit.

Besides her own magical artifacts, Nora's magical artifacts also need to be customized. Although she could buy ready-made ones, Elise still prefers to have them made to order.

Upon hearing Iris's words, Flora instantly became excited, but she quickly added nervously, "Um, while my theory is quite good, I lack experience in actual production operations. Is that really okay?"

Flora believed that with Iris's connections, she could easily find some excellent magical artisans to customize the magical artifacts she wanted. Since she was just a student, there was no need for her to specifically seek her out.

Did Elise not understand Flora's thoughts? She chuckled and said, "I believe you."

A simple sentence moved Flora to tears. She said to Iris with a serious expression, "I will do my best!"

Let's get started now!

Seeing Flora about to head towards the basement, Elise quickly stopped her, saying, "Let's eat something first."

Hearing what Iris said, Flora realized she was hungry. She scratched her head a little embarrassedly and said, "I'll go make something to eat now."

"You don't need to cook, I've already prepared some food for you."

Flora initially thought Iris had prepared bread or something similar for her, but when she arrived at the table, she discovered that there were many exquisite dishes laid out on it, their aroma making the already hungry Flora's mouth water.

"Could these have been made by Miss Iris?" Flora asked in a low voice.

"Yes, are you worried I'll poison him?"

"No, that's not it!" Flora waved her hands repeatedly. She just found it hard to associate Miss Iris with cooking. She had heard that noble families all had chefs.

"Alright, just focus on eating. I'll tell you my thoughts after you're done."

"Yes."

Flora didn't dare waste any time and started eating. The taste was surprisingly good. Although it was a bit impolite, she felt it was much better than what her sister made.

After quickly resolving her stomach issue, Flora led Iris directly to the basement, where, in addition to tools for creating magical artifacts, there were many blueprints pinned to the walls and bottles and jars scattered on the floor.

Those are all energy-boosting potions, and many have already been consumed. It seems that Flora relies on these to maintain her energy.

"These things can be used in emergencies, but you should pay more attention to resting in normal times." Elise was already thinking about whether there was anything that could increase energy recovery.

Previously, she didn't have many things suitable for Flora's research, so there was no need to consider these things. However, this time she brought back quite a few things for Flora, which should allow her to research many good things.

Besides being useful to herself, Flora could also be sold to others. In Iris's eyes, Flora was no different from a gold mine, and since she was also Elena's sister, she was definitely worth cultivating.

Although Elise's family owns a gold mine, she can't always rely on her old man's gold coins. Besides, Vivian will definitely need a lot of gold coins, so it's necessary to prepare in advance.

Hearing Elise's advice, Flora nodded seriously. She hadn't expected Miss Elise to care about her so much, which warmed Flora's heart.

Aside from her own sister, only Miss Elise would care about her this much.

Flora had already prepared paper and pen, and Iris had also shared her ideas. Many of these ideas were things Flora had come up with later, and now that Iris had shared them, it broadened Flora's thinking considerably.

After an unknown amount of time, Flora put down her pen and looked at the notes in her notebook, her eyes sparkling with excitement. She discovered that Miss Iris knew much more about magical artifacts than she had expected, and had many imaginative ideas that seemed impossible at first glance, but upon closer examination, they seemed not entirely out of the question.

If it weren't for the late hour, Flora would have liked to continue the discussion with Iris.

"Please make what you can first, and then we can improve the rest later."

“Yes, Miss Elise.”

"Then I'll head back now. If possible, please try to get it done before the final exams. I need it."

"I will do my best!" Flora said earnestly. The materials for making these magical artifacts were all in the spatial ring that Iris had given her. She felt it was time to put them to good use and she absolutely could not let Miss Iris down!

Flora clenched her small fists and immediately threw herself into the creation of the magical device after Iris left.

Elise, on the other hand, simply found a carriage and rode back to the manor.

Elena, who had just come out of the training field, couldn't help but say to Elise, "You're back quite late today. When did you become so fond of studying?"

Seeing Elena and remembering that she had just come from Elena's house, Elise felt inexplicably guilty.

"The college's final exams are coming up soon, so I've spent more time on that."

Elena keenly sensed that Elise's attitude towards her seemed a little off, but before she could say anything, Elise made up an excuse and ran away.

After returning to her room, Elise sighed helplessly. She hadn't done anything to Flora, so why did she feel so guilty?

Volume 1: Chapter 192 I Just Like to Pinch

A few days flew by, and the day of the final exams arrived in the blink of an eye.

Nora looked nervously at a ring on her hand, which looked more like a worm wrapped around her finger than a ring.

This was given to her by Elise for cheating. Although the theoretical assessment didn't account for a large percentage, she still wanted to make her score look as good as possible, just to be on the safe side.

A few days was clearly not enough time for Nora to review, so Elise asked Wendy to get her some bugs that were suitable for cheating.

The method is very simple: just let the worm crawl into your ear.

One Age Yi?〗Jiu Si?Zou Lingmeng

Although Elise had repeatedly assured her that there would be no problem, and the one inside her body also said there would be no problem, Nora still found it hard to accept the idea of ​​bugs crawling into her ears.

But as the assessment time approached, Nora gritted her teeth, put her finger to her ear, and the worm slowly crawled into her ear along her finger.

As the insect slowly entered her ear, even Nora couldn't help but shudder. But soon she heard Elise's voice in her ear: "You're such a slowpoke, I've been waiting for you for ages."

Hearing Elise's voice, Nora was taken aback. Just as she was thinking about how to respond, her thoughts were naturally conveyed to her.

"I think you should know how to pass messages by now, but you'd better be careful not to overthink things, or I won't be responsible if I find out any secrets."

"How can it be."

Although Nora is a reckless person, as long as she knows the right methods, she won't make that kind of mistake.

The theoretical assessment lasts all day, and the college will naturally check for cheating; those caught cheating will be disqualified.

Elise's method of cheating was virtually undetectable, and Nora had no worries at all because she trusted Elise.

Before Nora could even look at the exam paper carefully after the theoretical test began, she heard Elise telling her the answers.

Nora gave up thinking and wrote down whatever Elise said on the test paper. While other students were still racking their brains, she found that she had already finished the test paper.

Given Nora's theoretical grades, there was no way she would be checked. She was just a little puzzled, since Elise's grades weren't usually that great, so why did she suddenly seem to have transformed into a top student?

However, thinking about the bug in her ear, Nora felt relieved. She guessed that someone outside must be sending answers to Elise simultaneously.
