Chapter 3: The Abdominal Black God and the Time-Traveling Trash Talker (Three)

  The preparation time was not long. Originally, the crystal ball on the registration desk could have been used for a rough test, but that was obviously prepared for students with ordinary or excellent qualifications. Since Lockley boasted, Casey didn't mind spending a little more time for this lovely little girl by his side.

  In an empty room, a transparent crystal ball placed on a sandalwood base engraved with a magic circle of convergence was presented before Eriol.

  "Come on, put your hands on the crystal ball," Casey said.

  Alicia couldn't help but feel a little nervous.

  "Don't be tense, kid." Kasey saw Eriol's slightly stiffened body and smiled reassuringly. "This is just a test of the crystal ball; it won't explode or bite you."

  Teacher, why do I feel that these things actually happened after listening to your explanation?

  After muttering to herself and realizing she was no longer tense, Eriol couldn't help but give Kasey a faint smile as she placed her hand on the crystal ball.

  "Alright, let's test your spiritual power first." Kasey activated the magic array. "Kid, you should also know how important spiritual power is to a mage. The stronger the spiritual power, the more magical power can be controlled, and the stronger the control will be. So, let's see how much innate spiritual power you have that hasn't been tempered through meditation... Oh my god!"

  The crystal ball emitted a dazzling multicolored glow, forcing everyone to close their eyes. The assistants around her let out a chorus of gasps, while Casey hastily shut down the magic array: "This is too over-the-top! Now I understand what Mr. Harris meant by his words earlier. Dear child, I guarantee you'll be accepted for sure, because your spiritual power has already surpassed mine!"

  This world's occupation is divided into six levels, and if we divide it according to the two major mainstream occupations, mages are divided into: Apprentice, Mage, Magic Swordsman, Magic Master, Great Magic Master, and Sage; Warriors are divided into: Apprentice, Warrior, Swordsman, Sword Master, Great Sword Master, and Sword Saint. This outdated setting has not been changed for many years because no one has ever broken through the sixth level limit.

  And now, our heroine's untrained spiritual power is on par with a magic conductor who has been trained for many years. Casey was naturally shocked. What concept is a fourth-level magician? That is the main force of human magicians, it is a special treatment that can be enjoyed in the imperial army, and it is the backbone of the human magic world.

  "Is Hope's Yard going to give birth to another great sage?!" Casey was so excited that his hands were shaking uncontrollably, "Th-then, whoever it is, go and get Dean Howard here quickly!"

  "Uh, um..." Eriol asked weakly.

  "Oh, sorry to have startled you, kid." Casey tried hard to calm himself down but apparently didn't quite succeed. "Your spiritual power is extremely high, a natural-born mage. So let's take a look at your elemental affinity now, this test can help you choose the department of magic you'll major in in the future."

  Kacy activated another magic array, and then input the six basic elements of fire, wind, water, earth, light, and darkness in sequence. As a result, although this time there was a reaction that made people's eyes widen in shock, everyone had already become numb...

  All six basic elements have a high affinity with Eriol. Especially the wind element. The reason is probably because of that one heavenly thunder from Rockliip. (High-level wind magic is actually thunder magic)

  Cathy was about to faint, she swore that in her life, she had never seen a student with such talent. She had already decided that if Lockley didn't intend to send the girl named Eriol in front of him to Hope Garden to study, then even if it meant stealing her away, she would keep her!

  A loud noise came, and Casey recognized the old man at the head of the group as Howard Garcia, the 136-year-old great magician and principal of Hope Garden.

  Cassie hastily went up and handed over the test results report to Howard.

  After listening to the report, Howard was also stunned for a few seconds, then he carefully looked at Eliyah and Lockley for a while, smiled slightly and walked up to them, saluting them with a mage's salute: "I am Howard Garcia, Dean of Hope Garden Academy. Nice to meet you both. I already know Miss Eliyah Harris' test results, haha, honestly, her talent makes me a little jealous."

  "You're too kind." Eriol bowed slightly and said.

  Rokkuri smiled indifferently and said, "So, you're willing to take in the little sister?"

  "Of course. And I'm also honored to have the opportunity to educate the young lady of the ancient Harris family of the Republic of Barea. Isn't that right, Lord Lockley Harris?" Howard said with a smile, stroking his long white beard.

  Lockery smiled wryly: "Why do you have to expose it, can't I just come and go quietly? I hope the famous Hope Garden doesn't need to use our family members' admission as a publicity stunt anymore?"

  "I won't spread it around," Howard said, shaking his head. "There's no high or low, noble or humble, among the students in Hope Garden. I just want to confirm my guess and at the same time, I'm very interested that your ancient family actually agreed to let Miss Harris come out and study."

  "I just want my sister to live a normal life." Lockley said with feigned emotion.

  "If you really want me to live a normal life, then hurry up and turn me back into a man!"

  Howard made no comment on this: "I see. Teacher Casey, please help Miss Harris with the registration and familiarize her with the college. You will be in charge of taking care of Miss Harris's life from now on..."

  "It's all right, Director," Eliya interrupted, "I can take care of myself."

  It's a joke, someone who spends 300 days a year outside doesn't know how to take care of themselves, that's the biggest joke.

  Howard looked at Locklear, who nodded.

  "Alright, I'm sure you'll be satisfied with the dormitory." Howard said as he let Casey lead Eriya to the back while he turned to Lockley, "Will you stay for lunch before leaving?"

  "Never mind, I don't want any special treatment either. Please take good care of my little sister."

  "That's natural."

  "Goodbye."

  Lockley bowed slightly and walked away elegantly under the gaze of countless girls' shining eyes.

  I am a divider line

  Lockley indeed didn't leave a single copper coin for Eriol, he just helped her pay the tuition.

  This also means that Eriol can only eat the free food in the cafeteria and use the standardized textbooks and equipment issued by the school for the next semester. The textbooks are fine, but the problem is with the magical equipment. The school's standard equipment includes a miserable female magic cloak with a small amplification effect - this was even modified by a tailor, otherwise it would be 100% too big; a staff that can only be used to drive away birds and sparrows; a roll of ordinary rough sheepskin paper that can barely be used to make scrolls; a bottle of poor-quality ink made from fragrant magic grass; and a whiteboard goose feather pen.

  All of these are naturally worlds apart from what those truly extravagant aristocrats use.

  The only consolation was that she didn't have to carry all this stuff around the campus. Casey, who had initially complained about Lockley not providing funding, also shut up after seeing Eriol put all those miscellaneous items into her spatial ring, after all, that ring was a priceless treasure.

  After familiarizing Eriol with her future classroom and cafeteria in Class A, and having dinner there, it was already time for the welcome party. Casey decided to take this little girl back to the dormitory first, help her tidy up her room, and get acquainted with her roommate - if those few roommates were assigned today.

  After going around a lake, they stopped.

  "Come and see, Eriol. This is the girls' dormitory." Kasey pointed to a large building in front of her that was shining brightly with lights, "Since it's a martial arts school, your roommate might be a warrior too. Of course, this is just a possibility, after all, few girls practice martial arts. Also, the curfew for the dormitory is 9 pm and the lights-out time is 11 pm, don't forget."

  "Alright, I'll remember."

  I never thought I'd have the day where I'd proudly walk into a girls' dormitory. But compared to using this crippled body to get in, I'd rather climb up the water pipes.

  "This is the administrator of the girls' dormitory, Marlene Joseci. After entering the dormitory, Casey brought Eri to the table at the entrance that was filled with all sorts of books and introduced a blue-haired woman in her twenties with an icy gaze to her, "Marlene, don't use that kind of gaze, be careful not to scare people off. This is Eri Harris, she's the president's key cultivation target."

  Marlene nodded slightly as a greeting and continued reading her book.

  "Don't mind her, Marlene is just that kind of person. Actually she's a good person - well, at least the girls say so."

  "I understand, Teacher Casey. Marlin teacher will often throw those boys who try to sneak into the girls' dormitory into the lake next to the dormitory for a bath, right? Although the girls are afraid of Marlin teacher's expression, they feel at ease with her as the administrator, so they say she is a good person. Of course, the boys on the opposite side will not think so."

  Casey was laughing and crying at the same time: "I have to admit that your analysis is correct. But dear, are you really only twelve years old?"

  "What's wrong?"

  "It's nothing, I'm just curious about your family's educational approach."

  The dormitory has a total of eight floors. The first-year students' dormitories are on the second floor, followed by the second-year students on the third floor, the third-year students on the fourth floor... and so on until the fifth-year students at the top. Above that is where the teachers and stay-on students gather. The so-called stay-on students refer to those who, after graduating, plan to continue studying magic or martial arts and choose to remain in the academy for further study. Of course, at this time, you have to pay a lot more than tuition fees to obtain the hardware conditions provided by the academy. Therefore, most stay-on students are basically teachers.

  The first floor has a public bath and some shops, the bathroom provides hot showers from 6 am to 12 pm. However, taking a bath is only possible after 8 pm when the bathtub opens. But for Eri now, showering is okay, after all, it's a single room. If it were a communal bathtub, who knows, she might even get a nosebleed...

  The second to sixth floors are divided into six regions, corresponding to classes A to F. Class A is the elite class, where students have excellent talents; Classes C to F are ordinary classes, mostly with high-born commoner students; Class B is the noble class, all of whom are young nobles, and their talents are uneven.

  Arriving at the entrance of room 2A09, Eriol took out the key and opened the door, lighting up the magical lamp.

  This is a standard four-person room, very spacious, without upper and lower bunks. Each person has a bed, a set of study desk and chair, a small wardrobe and a miscellaneous cabinet. Behind it is the public washroom and ventilated balcony.

  One of the beds had already been taken by someone who arrived earlier.

  After a brief observation, Eriol confirmed that she had a very careless roommate. At least she herself wouldn't scatter her luggage everywhere, nor would she leave it unattended without even locking the door, and certainly not leave her wallet on the bed while leaving herself.

  "Recently, girls." Casey shook her head and said, "Elisha, take out your luggage, I'll help you sort it out."

  "No need, Teacher Casey. I can handle it myself. Besides, I've already troubled you for the whole day, so let me take care of this small matter. You just sit and wait for a while." Elisia said as she took out the luggage that Lockley had prepared for her from her armguard and began to sort them out neatly. Casey nodded in approval as she watched. In the end, Elisia even brewed two cups of red tea and handed one to Casey.

  Casey, who had completely put down her mind about Eriol's self-care ability, chatted with her for a while and reminded her to go to bed early before leaving.

  "Hope's Garden starts school on February 1st, and today is January 30th, tomorrow being the last day of January. I suppose there will be even more people signing up tomorrow?" Recalling the academy's entrance, which was large enough for a Boeing 747 to pass through, was now lined with a long queue of people, Eriol had cold sweats, "I hope there won't be any trampling incidents. Let's not think about that anymore, let's take a look at how magic is used in this world instead."

  Elisha picked up the beginner's magic textbook and began to study seriously. Apparently, the magic here was for mages to use their spiritual power to resonate with the elements in nature and cast spells. Knowing this, Elisha finally understood how shocking her high spiritual power must have been to Kasey and the others.

  The higher the spiritual power, the more driven magic there is; the more magic there is, the more elements that can resonate with it; the stronger the elemental resonance, the greater the magical power.

  Element affinity is related to the storage of magical power in the human body. The higher the affinity for a certain element, the easier it is for the mage to absorb and convert that element into magical power, and the greater the total amount that can be stored.

  Elisha's ability values for both of these are almost off the charts. No wonder Casey said she was a natural-born mage.

  "But my profession is a warrior..." Eriolyna said with a mixture of laughter and tears.

  The door creaked open. It seemed that her careless roommate had finally returned, and at least she hadn't forgotten the curfew time, otherwise she would have to face Miss Malin's icy stare.

  A tall and slender girl came in, wearing a light green T-shirt and tight seven-eighth pants. Her bright red hair was tied up in a ponytail, swishing back and forth behind her head as she walked. Her facial features were regular, not particularly beautiful but fair and clean - at least after washing off the bean paste on her face.

  "Hey, I'm Eri...". Before she could finish her introduction, the girl in front of her threw away the bean paste bun in her hand and pounced on her, hugging her tightly and rubbing her face against hers: "Wow! Such a cute little girl!"

  *sigh*...

  "I say, can you let go first?"

  "No! I haven't had enough yet."

  Eriol's face was buried under the turbulent waves of that girl, and now she could only maintain a silly and divine expression to enjoy the thrill of being speechless.

  "After a while, the girl finally let go of Eri: "Wow, I'm so lucky to have such a cute little girl as my roommate!"

  "Before we get into all that, shouldn't we introduce ourselves to each other first?"

  "Ah, that's right. My name is Li Huayin, 17 years old. As you can see from my name, my ancestors are from the Eastern Continent. Just call me Huayin. Looking at your petite appearance, I'm guessing you're applying for the Magic Department? If anyone bullies you in the future, just tell me, and I, Li Huayin, the universe's invincible beautiful girl, will bravely take care of them! I'll make sure to beat them until they turn into a pig head!" Li Huayin said as she stood up, patted her impressive chest with force, and gave a "leave it to me" expression.

  I also guess you are a warrior, only warriors suit your personality.

  "My name is Eriol Haris, and I'm twelve years old. You can call me Eri if you'd like." Eriol bowed slightly and greeted, "I'm a first-year student in the Magic Department's Class A."

  "Oh, I'm so excited that I forgot to say, I'm a first-year student in the Martial Arts Department, Class A." Li Hua rubbed his head and said, "Hey, Little Ai Li, can I make a small request?"

  "You said."

  "Let me hold you in my arms and sleep tonight."

  "I refuse."

  "Wooooo~~~"

  "Don't put on that abandoned puppy face, okay?! You're actually older than me!!"

  She then changed to sobbing quietly.

  "What's with this look of a woman who's been dumped by a scoundrel on stage?! Nothing has or could have happened between us, okay?!"

  "Wow, Little Ai Li's words are even more intense than the teacher's during the exam."

  "...thank you for your compliment."

  Generally speaking, when new students take the martial arts exam, will the teacher use internal energy? What was the outcome of your fight with the teacher back then?

  Anyway, Eriol finally got to know her first friend in the world of Chrolarvin.

  After fending off the friend who loves cute things and has great potential to become a yuri with a barrage of jokes, I washed my face and feet with hot water in a wooden tub, and the clock's hands were gradually pointing towards 11 o'clock.

  "Go to bed early, Huaying." Eriol pointed to the clock hanging on the wall. "Tomorrow, there may be others coming."

  "That's true, then goodnight, Little Ai Li." Li Hua slipped under the covers and sat up again after a while. "You really don't want me to hold you while sleeping?"

  "Take your luggage and go."

  "Wooooo..." Li Hua could only snuggle back into his bed again.

  Alicia sighed and began to try to take off her skirt. Although she had seen Gothic Lolita clothes before, it was really troublesome to wear them on herself and take them off.

  Underneath her Gothic Lolita outfit was a cute white camisole, the hem of which barely covered her bottom. Alica crawled into bed while complaining about some god's bad habits. At that moment, she inadvertently glanced at her own panties - of course, it wasn't a big deal, even if she were naked, it was still her own body, and there was no problem with looking at it however she wanted. The problem was the color of those panties left her aghast.

  It's as azure as a cloudless sky.

  Then Eriol turned black instantly.

  Don't understand? Don't remember? Recall what happened before, when Eriol was stepped on by Aelis in Rockley Port.

  "That's right, I'm a piece of trash~~~~!! Oh, on this day when my lucky color is sky blue, it's so refreshing to be stepped on by such a cute loli with her foot! Please press down harder~~~~~"

  The above is what Locklear said.

  Now you should understand, right?

  You damn perverted lolicon and siscon freak go die!!!

  Alicia loudly roared and cursed in her heart.
