Agatha and Basil disappeared into the pillar of light.
Sophie has fallen back into the mire.
The students around her who had also fallen into the mud all looked at Sophie.
Sophie wasn't flustered; she was told that the other students didn't know Finger Magic yet.
They only possess some innate abilities derived from their villainous identities as portrayed in fairy tales, or magical tricks passed down in their families.
In other words, right now, apart from the professor, she is invincible.
Professor Basil told her a secret—the current headmaster of the evil academy wasn't evil enough, and she and the headmaster had someone they both knew.
They are all from Gavalden.
However, not everyone turned a blind eye to Sophie, who was completely out of place in the evil academy.
A shirtless boy with a baby face and a frizzy, unflattering hairstyle approached Sophie.
"Oh no, that bird ate my shirt!"
Can I touch your hair?
"Most witches don't have princess-like hair."
"It must smell like cake."
"I like cake."
Extremely talkative.
Sophie looked disgusted, yet she dared to mimic Basil's speech.
Her fingers were glowing.
An invisible wind kept the boy at bay.
She turned and confidently walked toward the furry Werewolf wearing armor and a cloak.
They entered a passage that resembled a dungeon.
They bumped into Professor Laeso, who had rushed here after hearing about the strange phenomenon.
"You're Sophie of Vargaden? Come with me!"
Sophie confidently raised her head, ignoring the disapproving looks from those around her.
But the situation was quite different for Basil Agatha.
Perhaps they sensed Basil's thoughts.
Agatha, who should have appeared in the Princess District amidst the sea of flowers, was replaced by Basil.
So, under the bright sunlight, a handsome young man, sword in hand, his fair skin gleaming, lay quietly in the center of a sea of flowers, with fairies guarding him.
In the arena, a girl with dark skin and an afro appeared on the grass.
While searching for the Holy Sword, Tedros accidentally kicked her, but in that instant, it felt as if he had kicked his heart.
Beatrix and the princesses, led by her, also happened to see Basil.
They had never seen such a handsome young man. Compared to him, who was Tedros?
All the princesses' faces flushed, radiating girlish shyness.
In that instant, they all imagined attending the ball with Basil, and even more intimate scenes.
"He's mine!" Beatrice, with her blonde hair, exquisite crown, and luxurious princess dress, who looked gentle Beatrix lovely, instantly changed her expression and glared fiercely at both sides.
Both princesses felt a pang of sadness. Although Tedros was left behind, there's a saying: 'I could have endured the darkness if I had never seen the sun.' Tedros was, in that moment, that darkness.
Beatrix put on a sweet smile again.
She sat down next to Basil and her soft hand brushed against his cheek without any hesitation.
When Basil opened his eyes, he saw a girl with a delicate face, blinking her light green eyes, and softly saying, "Are you lost, my prince?"
It's Beatrix.
The girl moved even closer, seemingly eager to devour Basil alive.
Among the girls behind her, one dressed in a Japanese kimono, who appeared to be Xiao Ri, "softly" reminded her, "Beatrix, before graduation, students of our Goodness Academy must remain pure."
"I know, I know," Beatrix repeated softly, moving closer to Basil.
She is so beautiful.
Movies are, after all, acted by people, while in the real world, she, as a real princess, would be far more beautiful.
So much so that Basil forgot to complain: a university doesn't care about purity; normal universities even give extra credits for getting married.
He was now completely captivated by the beauty of the girl in front of him.
He could even feel the warm breath of fresh air mixed with the fragrance of unknown flowers hitting his cheeks.
His strong willpower pulled him out of his addiction. He looked around and saw a beautifully landscaped garden.
Beatrix's henchman stood not far from her.
However, it must be said that she chose very good followers.
All of these things accentuate her beauty.
Apart from the somewhat pretty dark-haired girl with tanned skin, the other red-haired and Japanese girls were quite ordinary. There was also a very overweight Black girl who could barely be identified as a woman.
She left the deepest impression on Basil.
In the movie, the ugliest character actually calls Agatha, who is of the same race and considered beautiful compared to her, "The devil."
The witches, Troll, and half-hunchbacks of other princesses were much more polite.
And there are these fairies flying around.
It's completely different from the Harry world.
The characters in the Harry world have colorful wings, look similar to humans, are 1 to 5 inches tall, and are all female—the beautiful kind.
The fairy who was tugging at his clothes was actually dressed, wrapped in a white veil, and looked very beautiful from a distance.
But upon closer inspection, their faces have distinct animalistic features, with sharp teeth and pointed ears.
There were even men and Black people inside.
It's true that even fairies have Black people.
"Could you please move a little further away?" Beatrix said to the fairies, whom she considered ugly, with the utmost politeness. "This prince obviously doesn't need to go to the dressing room."
The girls behind her also offered their praise.
"His smile can make a hundred flowers bloom."
"His skin is whiter than Snow White."
"His hair is as if it were forged from gold by the most skilled craftsman."
"His eyes were like clear blue sapphires, like a lake."
Beatrix raised her delicate chin with satisfaction. "Alright, my prince, we should go to the opening banquet now."
Then she took Basil's hand and helped him up.
At this moment, Agatha was also pulled up by Tedros.
He was covering his face; it was obvious she had slapped him.
But her face was full of sweetness.
Agatha was in a hurry to go to the evil house to find Sophie.
Tedros bluntly stated that everyone there was evil, and that good and evil were incompatible.
As a result, he was slapped.
Agatha calmed down only after he mentioned that people from two colleges would be attending the opening banquet.
I'm willing to strike up a conversation with him.
Tedros smiled, his eyes filled with Agatha.
"I have never seen a princess with this kind of attitude. It is very impressive."
Agatha frowned and said sarcastically, "I'm not a princess, I'm just an ordinary girl."
But looking at Tedros's burning gaze, she felt a pang of jealousy. "They usually smile at you and wink at you?"
Tedros nodded without hesitation. "Yeah, that's so boring. So thank you for not being bored."
Agatha laughed out loud, "No, I'm actually quite bored."
Just as the atmosphere was getting increasingly pink, and she was about to mention her hairless cat named Reaper, Professor Duowei's appearance interrupted their conversation.
She was full of energy, her face beaming with an unprecedented smile.
"Hello, Agatha of Gavalden."
However, although she was talking to Agatha, her eyes were fixed on Tedros's waist.
There once stood a peerless sword there, a symbol of the British monarchy.
But now it's gone.
Tedros didn't notice; his mind was entirely on Agatha. "You came here to take Agatha to the dressing room, didn't you? She deserves a better makeover."
Professor Duowei, who had intended to ask about the whereabouts of the Holy Sword, temporarily ignored it and excitedly said, "No need. From now on, we never need to care about our appearance or anything like that again. The purpose of the Hall of Virtue is to help everyone discover and learn the power of goodness and positive emotions."
"How kind a person is is not determined by their appearance, but by their behavior."
"Tedros, I must thank your father's holy sword, which brought true good back to the academy and dispelled Raphael's influence."
"But where did it go?"
Upon hearing about the Holy Sword, Tedros finally regained some of his senses. "I don't know, it turned into a golden pillar of light."
"I know," Agatha suddenly exclaimed excitedly.
Both of them looked at her.
Agatha: "We may have all been assigned to the wrong houses. Just now, I, Sophie, Basil were taken to the Evil House by a big bird and thrown into the mud."
"At that moment, the pillar of light appeared and enveloped the three of us."
"We must lead you to the right college."
"Then, the water in the mud turned scarlet and formed the figure of a man, who grabbed Sophie."
Sophie fell into the mire and was assigned to the evil school.
"Raphael!" Professor Duowei began to tremble. "He's back? He hasn't been seen for centuries since he failed to murder his own brother."
"It's just subtly affecting the balance between good and evil, making the Academy of Goodness vain and more concerned with appearances than with inner qualities."
"Sophie? A reader. He wants a reader to go to his academy."
"Wait, a true love's kiss? He wants the readers' kisses!"
Professor Duowei turned his head. "Reader, you are quite right. Sophie was probably indeed assigned to the wrong college."
"When a kind heart loses everything and only has eyes for one person, it can generate tremendous magic. Not to mention that she is a reader."
"Raphael wants to be the only one in Sophie's eyes. He hopes to team up with Sophie to destroy the entire school!"
"So, there are good people being oppressed by evil?" Tedros struck a bodybuilding pose. "Is there anything I can do to help, Dean?"
But neither of them paid him any attention.
Agatha pressed, "Can we go straight back to Gavalden? We don't belong here. And what are the readers?"
"Go back?" Professor Duowei chuckled. "Don't talk nonsense. There's no way back. (Agatha is shocked: What?)"
"As for the readers. Every so often, a lucky person is chosen from the outside world to enter this sacred institution. We call them readers because they can read about the magical adventures that originated here."
They call it a fairy tale.
"Alright, come with me."
"After I take you to the lobby, I need to find another freshman— Basil Granger."
"As for you, Tedros, you will have a performance later. This is your prince's job."
"Remember to find a good sword again, Lessie will definitely use you as a scapegoat. She's never been happy that evil has lost to good."
Club public chat.
Madison: "So you all went to that magic academy?"
Sophie: "Yes! But neither Basil nor I went in. We were both supposed to go to the Hall of Virtue. But that wretched Raphael— "
Madison: "Who is Raphael?"
Sophie: "He must be the big villain Basil was talking about. I found out from Dean Lessie. He suddenly appeared and grabbed my ankle. We were supposed to go to the Hall of Virtue! I knew it, I'm a princess! That Raphael definitely wants to corrupt me, just like Basil said before. But now—"
Madison: "But you certainly won't now, right? Of course I know. My biggest concern right now is Basil! He hasn't said a word."
——
Basil is very busy right now.
With the position of Dean of the True Hall of Virtue vacant, and True Goodness descending upon the Hall of Virtue, all teachers received epic-level enhancements.
Therefore, Professor Duowei, the current director of the Hall of Virtue, easily found Basil.
Just now, Basil was walking along, nuzzling Beatrix.
Just as they were enjoying their time together, a black woman with blue eyeshadow and dressed in gold appeared.
She was neither ugly nor pretty, her skin wasn't very dark, and her figure wasn't as bulky as Beatrix's dark-skinned sidekick.
But just a moment ago, Basil was staring intently at Beatrix's perfect profile, gently stroking her hair and playing with the pink diamond-encrusted choker around her neck.
The next second, Professor Duowei appeared.
If it were just Charlie Theron with her slightly odd appearance, it would be a pleasant surprise, but if it were Professor Duowei, it would be a shock.
In particular, she was carrying something that looked like a magic wand.
My childhood is back! The Dark Version of the Fairy Queen.
"Beatrix, please allow me to borrow your little boyfriend for a while."
"By the way, the Hall of Virtue has returned to its old state. You can no longer earn stars just by putting on makeup, being pretty, or having a nice smile. Ladies, please enrich your minds. From now on, the library will replace the dressing room as your permanent residence."
"But in return, if you fail a grade in the future, you won't be turned into anything else. You'll just have to repeat the year."
The princesses started chattering amongst themselves.
But they were mostly happy.
"Really?"
"Does that mean we don't have to wear skirts anymore?!"
"I can finally breathe a sigh of relief."
Professor Duowei ignored them. Her gaze shifted, and after glancing at the sword at Basil's waist, her smile widened. "Hello, Basil of Gavalden. I am Clarissa Dovi, the Dean of the Academy of Goodness."
"You saved this academy!"
"It's a miracle. It's as if it was perfectly crafted for you. It's clearly a reader, yet it has the demeanor of a king, as if the ruler of Camelot has descended upon the academy."
"No wonder it resonates with you, emitting an unprecedented light, as you leave Tedros."
"Oh," Basil twirled his sword, "is that Tedros's? I need—"
In fact, Basil has already tried to make it into a card.
But this sword costs 50,000 gems.
If he really wants to repay, he'll have to make a new card.
Fortunately, it seemed that everyone thought the sword belonged to him.
Beatrix leaned closer, her soft flesh pressed against Basil's arm. "King Arthur's Excalibur, too, came from the Lady of the Lake. It is yours. You are far superior to Tedros."
"I realized it just now too, it was you, Basil, who changed the academy. If it doesn't belong to you, to whom else could it belong?"
"I no longer have to live in fear and stick to this makeup look. Tomorrow, I'm going to show you a different style of me. I've been wanting to try it for ages!"
"Yes, yes," the other princesses chimed in.
