120. Regarding the “Culprit”
“I mean, when Aurora is at her wit’s end, what will she choose to do?”
Calysia only had to think for a moment to get the answer:
“I will try my best to survive.”
“Yes, if she will soon lose her authority and be sealed by us, or if her authority is depleted, her first reaction will be how to survive.”
The authority of Soul Grudge supported Aurora in having a conscious existence without a body.
But if all the [forbidden magic] in the world disappeared, Reina boldly guessed that Aurora’s existence would also disappear.
“If I were Aurora, I would choose a body and use my authority to turn the tables… not all gods are existences who pursue absolute correctness like me.”
“Aurora wouldn’t dare to gamble.”
Compared to a desperate struggle, directly perishing with us and using her last strength to harm us, what she hoped for most was to survive first.
“So, she should be very afraid.”
Calysia nodded. She also agreed with Reina’s judgment.
After talking for a while longer, they decided to take a walk around the school.
On the training grounds, they could still see Cecilia’s swift and beautiful figure flashing in the combat training, but under the watchful eyes of everyone, she was so alone. As the first in her class, it seemed that no one could get close to her light, and they were not even worthy of seeing it.
Watching the “challenge matches” of other students against Cecilia in turn seemed to have become an established “teaching,” a wheel battle, but no one could touch Cecilia even once.
She wore the long gloves that had been given to her in advance, and she was still followed by some followers, giving a sense of a grand and powerful big sister in a gang.
But in fact, there was a hint of disappointment in her calm smile.
“Your Majesty?!”
She had originally wanted to hide her identity, but she was discovered by the sensitive Diana.
“Mmm,” Calysia nodded slightly.
After the other had bowed, she finally nodded to Principal Reina.
Seeing Diana and Cecilia, Reina felt quite ashamed.
The choice she had fought for for Celes had not made much progress yet, and it was possible that it had already become futile.
“Lady Dragon Queen, Lord Principal…”
“Hmm?”
“Forgive my impertinence, but I would like to ask, I want to know where Celes is now?”
“She is not studying at Lekadis. Because in fact, Celes is only five years old. It might be another five years,” Calysia found it funny.
“I originally thought so, but now I see it’s true…” Diana’s dejected appearance was like a student who had failed an exam.
Like Cecilia.
What Diana was most worried about was not the age issue. In fact, what they cared about more was whether they could still see Celes.
And Diana, who had seen Reina, was almost clinging to a lifeline.
“Excuse me, I, can I…”
Even though she was such a proud elven girl in front of others, in front of the Dragon King, she would become so small.
But Calysia said with a smile:
“It’s okay, Diana. Actually, Celes will return to school tomorrow, but not as an official student.”
“Really? Thank you, Your Majesty!”
Diana’s eyes lit up.
“It’s nothing.”
“I have another question, Miss Elf. Do you know a student named Sophia?”
Diana racked her brains. She thought and thought, but she didn’t know who had the same name as the Blood Queen.
In the end, she could only shake her head desperately and watch them leave.
…
Reina and Calysia decided to go to Aurora’s domain again.
She had some things to confirm, and whether she succeeded or not, this was the last time.
Before entering the portal, Calysia held Reina’s hand and nuzzled it against her face.
It seemed that the domain had gradually awakened Calysia’s painful memories, and lately, she had been making these kinds of intimate gestures often.
After entering the school and opening the dormitory door, the surrounding environment seemed to have frozen. Everything had come to a standstill, and then, in just a few short seconds, the world began to operate again, but it had turned into Aurora’s gray and gloomy world.
After looking at Calysia, the two walked out of the dormitory building and, while it was still early, walked to the dormitory building next door. The dormitory administrator, seeing unfamiliar faces, didn’t stop them, probably because of Celes’s identity.
Looking at the building, it seemed to be a magic direct elevator. With the operation of the gear mechanism, the circular, enclosed platform began to slowly rise, all the way to the ninth floor.
Walking into the corridor in front of them, after thirty-some steps, the third to last room on the left was Cecilia’s dormitory.
“Knock, knock, knock—”
The one who opened the door was a human girl still in her pajamas. She had dark circles under her eyes and rubbed them.
“What are you doing here… wait, Celes? My lady?!”
She had originally wanted to chase them away, but seeing Celes, she was immediately alert, her face full of a ghostly look.
“We are Cecilia’s friends. May we ask if she is here?” Calysia asked.
“She… is still outside.”
“Come in and sit? Miss Celes, Miss Cali?” The girl seemed to recognize the two. “I heard you dropped out of school. This rumor has been spreading for a month. Is it true?”
“No need, just tell us where Cecilia is.”
Calysia shook her head and didn’t answer the question of whether she had dropped out.
Her tone was like the student council was checking the dormitories.
But now there was no so-called student council. There were a few candidates.
“She’s still at the training ground. She faces 20 challenges every day. She should still be fighting with the students from the magic club now.”
As expected, she was so diligent.
This thing called the “magic club” didn’t sound like a name she would come up with.
As expected, Aurora’s world was only partially similar. In fact, most of it was information that Reina didn’t know.
The girl touched her slightly messy hair and said, “She’s working so hard to surpass those two.”
Reina didn’t continue to ask. She and Calysia walked towards the training ground together.
On the way, Reina was lost in thought.
Surpass those two?
Walking in through the main gate of the training ground, Reina discovered that the facilities here were basically gone. In Aurora’s world, they had been replaced by a large number of flat grounds, reinforced platforms surrounded by fences, and scarecrows as “targets.”
It was still the style of the Primordial Era. At that time, the mechanisms controlled by the dwarves had not been successfully popularized.
Reina suddenly thought, if this were a real event in the Primordial Era, then which period would it belong to?
Lekadis…
Could it be that someone had tried before, but had failed?
Then who was the culprit who had made this school fall?
No, in fact, this school might be the culprit of the Primordial Era.
And Aurora was very likely the one who controlled all of this.
