Weren't you mortal enemies before?

Sabrina looked at the Night Blade Leopard with curiosity, ignoring its threatening growl, and instead said something rather hurtful to Roy.

That statement doesn't seem wrong; back then, all the kids on Brown Street regarded this Night Blade Leopard as their imaginary enemy...

Simply because it is a monster cub.

Roy spread his hands helplessly and said:

"It's growing up quickly, and if it becomes an enemy, I might not be able to sleep peacefully. So I decided to try to build a good relationship with it before it grows up."

As he spoke, Roy bent down and picked up the empty wooden plate...

Four fried fish are just a small treat for a Night Blade Leopard weighing over 40 kilograms; it's not enough to fill its stomach.

However, Night Blade Leopard is clearly already used to this size of food delivery service.

Roy turned around and walked back side by side with Sabrina.

The sea breeze blew by, causing Sabrina's soft, long dress to cling almost perfectly to her thighs...

To Sabrina's surprise, Roy turned his head away and looked towards the distant sea.

Sabrina's lips curled up slightly as she followed Roy's footsteps, asking as she walked, "I heard that an investigator has arrived at the Goddess of Freedom Temple headquarters?"

"Yes, Priest Anderson died because of the séance, so the temple is bound to send people here to investigate."

Roy explained.

Sabrina then stopped smiling and said, "Oh, speaking of which, ever since the temple lost the Wisdom Holy Grail, Priest Anderson's condition has started to get worse and worse."

"You're making it sound like Priest Anderson's death was related to the loss of the Holy Grail," Roy said casually.

Unexpectedly, Sabrina said very frankly:

"There's definitely a connection. Before the Holy Grail was lost, Priest Anderson was very optimistic every day. He was always waiting for the Holy Radiance to return to the Elf Continent. After the Holy Grail was lost, his temper became more and more irritable..."

The two quickly arrived at their doorsteps and went into their respective adjacent courtyards.

After dinner, Roy and Moira practiced the Elementary Martial Arts techniques as usual, and then Roy watched carefully Moira's demonstration of the continuous movements of the martial arts techniques...

Although Roy was clumsy like a bear at first, with Moira's dance-like movements and Sabrina's careful guidance, he quickly mastered the fluid movements of the martial arts technique.

Moira always seems to find the quickest shortcut to practicing these kinds of continuous movements.

Once she mastered the moves, she would patiently demonstrate them to Roy again and again.

Until Roy learns...

As Jefferson said, Moira was born to be an assassin.

She just doesn't want to admit that she has such talent.

Perhaps she was well aware of this talent, but what she was unwilling to accept... was simply what Jefferson had said.

When Roy was little, they played hide-and-seek in the yard. She would crouch in the shade, and as long as she didn't want to come out, no one could find her.

Roy, carrying two textbooks, practically ran all the way into the Elf Academy.

In the bustling and noisy crowd, Roy spotted Steve leaning on a cane, one of his legs wrapped in bandages...

Roy stopped and stood by the path, waiting for Steve to limp over.

He seemed to be in pretty good condition, and his injuries should be almost healed, except for the penetrating wound on his thigh, which was healing a little slower.

Roy greeted Steve, saying, "I thought you were going to take a break for a while longer!"

Steve showed no anger or embarrassment. He answered calmly, "If I keep lying down, I might have to retake all the courses I enrolled in this year. The professors won't give me any special treatment just because I have a hole in my thigh. So, in order to learn something new next year, I have to finish these courses..."

After saying that, he stopped by the roadside and smiled at Roy, saying, "I didn't know you... were actually a Priest."

Roy immediately stood in front of Steve, straightened his posture, and said to Steve very formally:

"Shall I reintroduce myself? Hello, Steve, I am Roy, Novice Priest from the Goddess of Freedom Temple in Castleton City!"

Steve gave a faint smile before asking Roy:

"Do Priest also attend the Elf Academy?"

Roy and Steve walked forward side by side. He said to Steve, "I must emphasize this point. I first enrolled in the Elf Academy and paid tuition before becoming an Novice Priest, and then I became Priest of the Goddess of Freedom Temple."

"..."

Steve didn't seem to harbor much resentment towards Roy, and they chatted casually along the way.

After parting ways with Steve at the steps in front of the No. 2 Teaching Building, I quickly walked to the entrance of the lecture hall in the Building No. 3, which was almost crowded with students who wanted to enter the lecture hall to listen to the class.

Roy was pushed and shoved until he finally got into the lecture hall.

Fortunately, the members of Sixteenth Group had saved a seat for Roy. Roy arrived a little late, and the other nine members had already arrived. Seeing him walk over, the member sitting on the far edge quickly moved to a seat further inside.

Roy was sitting at the very edge of the aisle, having just placed his textbook on the table.

Princess Oliphia appeared at the door of the lecture hall, just as the school bell rang outside.

She usually keeps a very low profile at the Elf Academy, and she doesn't go to extremes like needing an Elf Guard and ceremonial team when she goes out.

Inside the Elf Academy, Princess Ophelia had only one guard by her side.

The school bell rang, but Roy was still frantically flipping through his textbook...

Princess Ophelia walked up the steps of the lecture hall, and the students immediately bowed to Princess Ophelia...

Roy had expected her to walk right past him, but Princess Oliphia stopped in her tracks...

"Roy, don't you think the teaching method for Modern Elf History has become much more interesting?"

"Yes, Ophelia- sensei," Roy replied without hesitation.

"You really can't even be bothered to give a perfunctory answer..."

"..."

Princess Ophelia muttered a complaint under her breath before walking straight to the back row of the lecture hall and announcing the start of class.

Roy obediently sat down amidst the astonished gazes of the group of students...

Everyone was curious about the relationship between Princess Ophelia and Roy, which was why she would always find opportunities to come over and talk to him.

The Elven Nobles were very curious, but they weren't that familiar with each other yet, and their attitudes toward Roy had only changed.

Roy handled these group members with care, maintaining a certain distance while being enthusiastic...
