Previous Story:
A year has passed. Eva is twelve years old. Eva was already preparing to move to the capital and enter the royal academy. That day, after saying goodbye to his parents, he set off by road by train. A train with five cars. With ten servants and fifteen soldiers.
To get to the capital, they had to traverse the forest for twelve hours. While on the way, Eva accidentally meets a slave trader who sells elf children and beasts. Eva destroys the slave traffickers and saves the captured children, intending to return them to their village. But one of the elven children wanted to follow him. The elf boy wanted to be with him because he was interested in the dark mana in his body. And more unexpectedly, it turned out that the boy was a dark elf who was in disguise.
Out of pity, Eva decides to take the child on condition that the child must disguise himself as a human child.

Next day.
Early in the morning, the servants began to pack up the tents and the leftovers. I was actually still dazed and sleepy because I was late for sleep. But Wiya forced me to wake up.
"I'm still sleepy Wiy~" I said lazily as I rolled over. I really want to sleep again.
"Miss, let's get up. Our journey will be late. We have to leave now in order to get to the afternoon" said Wiya mercilessly as she pulled my little mattress.
"Miss, the soldiers also want to pack up the tent. Don't bother them" Wiya said with a pose of both hands on her waist.
I forced myself to get up. When I woke up, I saw the camp was clean. True said Wiya, only my tent is still standing. The other tent has been fixed.
I got out of the tent and got into the train.
Haa~ I exhaled while leaning back in the carriage seat. I was still sleepy and slowly my eyes closed again.
But suddenly TOK TOK TOK, I heard a knock from the side of the train. I didn't sit up and look out. Then I saw the elf boy looking at me with his big smile and sparkling eyes.
"Come in the boy"
The elf boy (with a human appearance) ran into the carriage and immediately sat down next to me.
I thought this kid was gonna run around here and there, but he didn't. He sat quietly beside me and said nothing.
"Have you ever been to a human village?" I was the first to open the conversation.
He quickly shook his head.
"Don't be surprised when you get to the capital okay. The humans may be a bit different from you. And this is the most important thing" I looked at him seriously. "In the capital there are so many elf slaves, don't do anything excessive okay. Even if you're angry, you should be able to hold back your emotions. Or report it to me when you see something inappropriate"
The boy obediently nodded.
"Hmm.good boy" I praised him while ruffling his hair.
The boy immediately lowered his face and his ears turned red.
Ah~ turns out she's shy.
Very cute boy ~
A few minutes later, Wiya also entered the train. At first Wiya was a bit shocked because she saw a foreign boy sitting next to her nona. But Eva immediately signaled that this was okay. So Wiya calmed down again.
Our journey continues.
At that moment I actually continued my interrupted sleep.
And Wiya was joking with the elf boy. I thought Wiya was kind to kids. He really likes kids. I actually freed him to find a partner and get married, then have children. But Wiya still insisted on taking care of me. He said he was not calm leaving me alone.
"I might be kind of calm letting the lady when she's married" that's the answer. He replied firmly and seriously, so I couldn't say anything more.
The journey lasted a few hours. This journey is very smooth. Nothing happened on the way. We arrived in the capital in the afternoon.
When we got to the front of the gate, the guards let us in right away because our carriage had the coat of arms of the duke's nobility.
As we began to enter the capital, I could not help but curiously and peek out from behind the train window. The last time I saw a view of the capital was when I ran away from home and met the accident incident. But the sight I wanted didn't happen. It was full of people passing by and there were many stalls by the side of the road. But now, there were no more stalls by the side of the road, and all the pedestrians who saw our carriage immediately stepped aside and lowered their heads. Their faces were sweaty and looked very frightened.
Hmh! It turned out that the reputation of the Duke's house was this bad among commoners. No wonder I was so hated at that time. Butwhy? My father couldn't have done anything bad to the people. He rarely came to the capital. But why are the rumors about us spreading so badly. This doesn't make any sense. Who spread it?I see conspiracy theories here....
After a few minutes, I finally arrived at my old mansion.
I quickly got off the carriage and straightened my back.
"Ah, I really don't want to take the train anymore. This is the last time" I complained while stretching my body. Next time I will completely eliminate the train option. I prefer to fly or teleport with magic. After all, magic was indeed more efficient.
I observed the mansion in front of me. This mansion has come back just considering I ruined it the last time.
I immediately arranged for the servants to move the items from the carriage into the mansion. And tidying up all the furniture. I also left the elf boy to Wiya, telling him to choose a room. After everything was done, I went straight to my room.
Tomorrow is the first day I come to the academy.
Well, tomorrow is the academy's entrance exam. Actually all the nobles were exempt from the entrance examination. The entrance exam tomorrow is just a formality.
The entrance examination of the academy was more devoted to commoners who wanted to study. If they get good grades during the entrance exam, they can get scholarships. Therefore, the entrance examination was dominated by commoners.
For the nobles, the entrance examination was not very important. So there were nobles present and some were not. Eva in the novel is also not present in the entrance exam, she prefers to go to the shopping center to buy clothes and accessories. Only nobles really wanted to hone their skills present at the entrance examination. Because they want to know to what extent their power is growing.
I also want to be present at this entrance exam. I'm very curious.
Oho! And I also remember the event that happened during the entrance exam. Well, it's not Reina and Denis, it's Reina and Robert. During the magic power testing session, Reina got unexpected results and made the teachers uproar. The one who oversaw the test was Robert. So Robert started paying attention to Reina from that day on. Unfortunately Robert won't be a teacher in the academy instead. Because he had already returned to the Magic Tower. So I guess this event won't happen.
"Ah~ I really can't wait for tomorrow~"
***
The next day I woke up early. I must not be late for this magic test or I will not be able to enter later, aka be expelled by the supervisors. So after getting ready and getting dressed, I immediately got into the carriage and headed to the academy.
I've never been to the academy, so I need a guide so as not to get lost. That's why I'm sitting on this goddamn train! But, once I have paved my way, I will definitely not wear this thing again, humph! I prefer to fly or walk.
"Ah my butt~" I grimaced sadly by uncomfortable fixing my sitting position.
Well, it is actually more effective to use teleportation magic while traveling. But, teleportation magic was strictly forbidden in the academy. The entire academy installed a magic array as a teleportation magic barrier. I heard it was an ancient array that enveloped the entire building and its surroundings. The academy created this barrier magic so that intruders from outside would not go inside, such as thieves, assassins, etc. They would be overwhelmed if the intruders entered and made an incident. Wh why? Because the academy is full of nobles. It was very different from the Magic Tower. They don't really care when an intruder comes in.
"The more intruders the better. Because it will train the strength and instinct of the disciples" said grandfather.
This is the difference between the nobility and the common people. I can't complain about this. It was arranged that the nobles were spoiled and always dependent. While ordinary people are required to learn independently.
I finally got to~
It was not far from the mansion. I can go on foot, but chances are Wiya won't allow it haa~
But at least I can fly.
When I got off the train, I was immediately presented with an amazing sight. But I'm not too surprised, because compared to the Magic Tower, this building is quite ordinary. High and wide building. A lawn with a garden that is very soothing to the eyes. And a very high fence.
"A pretty beautiful view~" I muttered in admiration.
This building is even bigger than the palace.
"Truly, it's beautiful. I've never seen a building this big. My house is only as big as the front fence" suddenly an unfamiliar voice appeared.
I turned my head and saw a fat boy with spots on his face.
"Hello, introduce me Gun" the boy said with a big smile.
"Hello" I return his greetings.
This time I wore a simple dress, a plain brown dress, which made me not look conspicuous in this crowd. That's why this boy dared to rebuke me huh?
"Are you going to take the entrance exam?" I asked the fat boy.
"Yes" he said. Suddenly she smiled. "But I actually graduated. I just follow this as a formality" he said proudly.
"Oh? you're a noble?"
Oh? This kid is not bad! He was very proud of his birth status. This boy must be the son of a wealthy merchant who donated a lot of money to the academy, so he could enter without taking the exam. I could see the clothes he was wearing. Although it looks simple, the clothes and pants are from the skin of fifth-level animals. Then the sword on his waist had a strange aura. And his shoes have good durability. He had many rare items on his body.
"Look at that noble!" point the boy to the side.
I saw a bangswan boy in white and fancy clothes.
"What the fuck! What a beautiful man! I'm sure he's got cosmetics in his pocket. I bet she wears powder and perfume. Those red lips must have been wearing dye. Really dandy! And I'm sure he's very weak!" teaseknya.
My mouth twitched uncomfortably. I was also sweating coldly. I was grateful not to wear the dress that Wiya recommended, or else I would end up being ridiculed by someone else. Because the noble boy was not only the concern of this fat boy, but also the other boys.
"But you can't judge like that. It was rare for nobles to take the entrance examination. Maybe he's not as bad as you think" I said trying to explain. The nobles who took the entrance examination were those who were willing to practice and did not take training lightly. I'm sure people like this aren't bad.
"Uhh.." the fat man grimaced in shame. "I'm sorry...."
I just looked at him with a smile.
"ah! Another one came up!" said the fat boy suddenly.
I followed the direction of his gaze and immediately saw who he meant.well, he is a person I know. The main character of the novel, Reina.
Reina reminisced about the green dress. The dress was extremely elegant which showed her identity as a noble. But also not too fancy and excessive. With her innocent and innocent face, she exuded a kind-hearted young miss.
"Ah, this one is different. She is very pretty" said the fat boy amazed by the flushed cheeks.
I only shook my head when I saw the boy was fascinated. He's been hit by the main character's haloo...
KRIETTA! The gate in front of us slowly opened, revealing a beautiful grassy courtyard. Then there were some tents on the edge of the courtyard and three guards in front of the gate. All the students who wanted to take the test had already gathered in front of the gate.
"Strip neatly" said one of the inspectors.
The irregular crowd instantly formed three long rows. I was tucked in the middle of the line.
The supervisor called our names one by one. Before taking the entrance examination, we had already sent the file containing the identity to the academy.
The test lasted only a short while. Just a few minutes had already changed from one disciple to another.
After a few minutes, my name was called.
"Eva Van Court!"
"I!"
The watchman's face was full of doubt. "You're from the Court family?" he scrunched his forehead.
I tilt my head confused. "Yes, why?" I asked back.
"Not a con?" he said with a mocking tone.
"Of course not!" I said annoyed while taking out the Duke Court family badge.
The supervisor's face immediately panicked and pale. "Ma.pardon me..."
"Hmmm!" I just snatch an upset. "When do I get in?!"
"you can come in now, miss" he said politely.
I walked into the tent feeling angry. What the fuck? He really thinks I'm a liar?
"Welcome" inside the tent was an old woman. He greeted me kindly.
"Greetings, teacher."
"Alright, put your hand on this crystal ball. I'll measure your mana strength"
Eh? So here's the system. So which force we measured from this ball.
I began to shut down and channel my mana into the glass ball.
But ZZRTTT! The glass ball creaked. And PRANGGG!! Suddenly broken to pieces.
I instantly moved away and activated protective magic as the shards began to hit me.
"...." I'm speechless. Why could it break?
"...."- ".The supervisor also lost his voice.
He looked at me in shock. I'm starting to feel bad.
"Teacher, the ball must be broken" I said trying to dodge. I'm sure something isn't right, but I don't want to create an uproar. Was my mana really that strong until finally the magic ball couldn't hold it?
The teacher was still looking at me no ykin.
"The ball must be broken. I felt a strange thing as I took out my mana teacher!" I said trying to convince him.
"really?" he still asked doubtfully. "It can't be broken. The quality is so good."
"Uhhhh.but it's broken.."
"Come, we'll test you with other tools" he immediately invited me to move places.
"no, no need" I dodged. "No need for teachers, this is enough"
Aghhh! I know my mana is overrated. I don't want to stir. For the time being, I do not want to reveal my strength. I don't want to! Or I'll be in danger again.
"Come on!" the supervisor kept pushy while pulling my hand.
"Aragh!" I screamed while holding my stomach. "My stomach hurts teacher, I want to go to the bathroom"
"...."
"True, really sick teacher. Let me go. I want to go to the bathroom!"
"Don't lie, you..."
Not yet had the supervisor finish his talk, suddenly the other supervisor came in with gasping breaths.
"Madam! Madame!" the supervisor said it was panicking.
"What's wrong?"
"We found something surprising. How surprising. The principal called us. We found a little girl with a high tier madam power level."
The eyes of the supervisor were shocked. "really? Come on, let's go!"
"Little girl you wait here"
In an instant, I was completely forgotten. And the two guards left the tent.
Haa~ thank goodness~
The little girl who caused the uproar must be Reina. For now, I am truly grateful to that main character.
I paid no heed to the supervisor's words and immediately left the tent.
I'm hungry.I wanna eat.
When I came out of the tent, I did not see the three supervisors who were in front.it seemed that all the supervisors had gathered to look at the genius girl. Haa~ she will be a holy girl later, but now she is already famous. Actually it's not good to be the main character.The more famous, the more you hate. And people who hate Reina more than people who hate Eva. It's just that Reina always had a protector. Who else if not the main male characters. That's why his life has always been lucky and always survived every bad incident
"Am I going to be okay?" I stared at the sky with sadness as I walked home. I really think about my future in this novel world.
Don't forget like, like, like yo~
