Chapter 12 Drugs?
Louis Mana Academy's entrance exam. A yearly event for students who had signed up to enter the academy.
Although it changes every year to keep it fair, there was a key theme about it every time.
The examinees were always given an option to work as a pair. Of course, this increased the difficulty, needing a double amount to pass, but the academy would reward extra points for good teamwork.
Now, the reason why they do this? Is it due to the constant ongoing war happening worldwide and the academy wanting to have their students develop their ability to act as a team early on?
It could be. But it was mainly so the developers of the game could allow its players to progress further in their system as the heroine.
Lillian shrugged, 'But since I don't need to do that, I could just go solo. Not like I don't know most of the monster's attack pattern anyway.'
She had played through this event so many times that getting a grade A was the bare minimum. Rarely B's, but that was due to her picking duos and running out of time.
'Of course... since, as the heroine, you get some pretty good buffs that already outrank you slightly higher than the average person.' She snuck a glance at Millis, staring at the Headmaster, explaining what was going to be in the exam.
Obviously, Lillian is blocking it out - already knowing what's going to be on it.
'And currently, this body's control over water is... very shit!'
Scanning over her memories, she realised that the previous Lillian could barely even slay an E-rank monster without getting herself injured in the process. In other words, unless she figures out a way to increase her control over it in the short amount of time that she has, she's screwed! Especially when the monster in this exam is at bare-minimum D-rank.
'Heh! But that's where you come in, my darling little system!' She gave a low chuckle and summoned her system before widening her eyes at the current sum of points she had gained. (3)
'117!? It has only been what? An hour? To think it would grow to such a huge number.'
She watched as her points dwindled from its magnificent 117 all the way down to 17... she could feel herself cry inside. The feeling of being poor returned to her soul before letting out a deep sigh and waiting for the hole to appear on the screen so she could retrieve her item.
After seeing the familiar pitch-black hole that widened on the screen, she now had to figure out a way to bring it out without causing too much attention.
'Whew, I got it!'
Of course, why complicate things when nobody is even looking at you?
She gazed at the magical pill before popping it into her mouth and feeling it burst open moments later, flooding her mouth with mystical energy, which she could assume to be mana.
From her mouth, down her throat, and eventually throughout her body before slowly gathering inside her mana core - situated near her heart.
Despite it being of the lowest quality, it gave her a feeling akin to what could be felt as... confidence?
'Is it confidence, or am I just feeling something else?' She couldn't dwell much on it, for the headmaster seemed to have finished explaining the exam.
Meaning...
"Hey, Lillian! Ya wanna team up for the exam?"
Millis's attention was now all focused on her.
Millis wrapped her arm around Lillian's shoulder, smirking at her with an expectant look, "So? Ya wanna? Or are ya going to ask for black hair over there to pair up?" She pouted a bit at the end.
"Hm..." Lillian thought for a bit before answering with, "How about..."
