Although the peaceful campus life was interrupted by the unexpected incident, which sparked heated discussions among many students for nearly a week, everyone quickly forgot about it as no new information continued to emerge, and returned to their studies.
In the Mage Alliance, if you can get into those higher Academy, it can truly change your destiny. The resulting changes in status, identity, and strength far surpass the college entrance examination in Sylutia's previous life, and are roughly similar to the imperial examination in ancient times.
Therefore, whether it's to become stronger, gain power and status, or acquire freedom and wealth, entering a higher Academy is the most direct and clear path.
Driven by this force, very few students are indifferent to their grades and their future, and those with excellent grades will subtly gain a higher status among their peers.
Sylutia currently enjoys a special status in the class. Other students will unconsciously lower their voices when passing by her seat so as not to disturb her. Furthermore, her choices in class activities also influence other students.
Camilla and the other students were taken away for questioning for two days before being released. Afterwards, the teacher said that the investigation had too few clues and the real culprit was not found. Although it was somewhat unsettling, fortunately, no other accidental deaths occurred afterward, and it was eventually forgotten.
It's a new week again. Before get out of class ended at noon, the teacher told everyone that there would be a spring outing next week, and asked everyone to choose a plan.
Option 1: Go to the Farm Plains in the western Asura District, where you can enjoy simple activities such as walking, sketching, horseback riding, fishing, and picnicking.
Option 2: Go to the Senis District in the east, where there is a dense network of rivers and several beautiful lakes. You can see swans and many other Flying Bird, and there are also places to swim and boat.
Option 3: Go to the Emerald Parrot Valley in the southeast. You can hike, enjoy the scenery, collect herbs, and observe the animals in the mountains.
"Are there spring outings?" Sylutia was a little surprised when she heard her teacher say this. She had never heard the word "spring outing" when she studied in the Woodland before.
Thinking about it carefully, it seems to make sense. The area where the Woodland is located is already covered with forests, swamps, valleys, and other similar terrains. Since you see these places every day, there's really no need to go to other places to see them.
The second-tier apprentices of the Woodland Alliance are relatively free. Unlike the students in the Mage Alliance, they don't need to study a lot of theoretical knowledge every day. They gradually master much of what they learn by doing and practicing while carrying out missions.
"Where to?" Lovier raised her finger slightly and placed it on her chin in thought.
"My hometown is mostly plains and lakes, so there's not much mountain climbing around here." She's thinking of visiting the Emerald Parrot Valley, but she's unsure if it's suitable.
" Hedra, what about you?" This young lady would ask her two roommates when she couldn't make up her mind.
"I'm fine with any of them." Sylutia felt that all three were acceptable.
"No, no, Hedra has to choose one." Lovier grasped Sylutia's arm, pressing her soft body against hers.
"Alright, let's go boating then." Sylutia thought for a moment; she had never tried boating before.
"Okay, let's go boating~" Seeing that Lovier Sylutia made the choice, Luo Wei'er immediately agreed and followed.
This child probably just wants someone to play with her; where they go isn't that important.
After listening, Aurora looked up at the three options on the blackboard. "Rowing? That's not bad either." She was fine with either option except climbing the mountain.
After the three students made their decision, other students around them gradually followed suit, and "going to the Senis District to see the swans and go boating and swimming" became the most voted option.
Most students didn't take the result too seriously, simply following their feelings and the mainstream opinion. However, there was one exception: Camilla, the new transfer student in the class, was a bit annoyed.
Why is it boating again? She couldn't help but recall last year when she sat alone in a boat on the Ice Sea for three whole months before finally reaching the shore. Moreover, there was no extra food or water at sea. If she hadn't been a member of the Blood Clan royal family, even though her rank had fallen, her physical strength was still intact, and she wouldn't have been able to last that long.
Although the incident is in the past, she still feels aversion to water activities like boating and has a psychological aversion to them, probably never wanting to ride a boat again in her life.
Why? Her hearing was also very sharp. Before Sylutia made her choice, most students actually wanted to go to the Emerald Parrot Valley because many of them were born in the plains and had never seen forests and mountains. But after the black-haired girl made her choice, many people started to follow suit. Those who were originally discussing going to climb the mountain also wavered and changed their minds.
For no apparent reason, Camilla somewhat depressed and unhappy. However, her body was now frail, and she lacked the majesty she once possessed as Blood Clan princess. As a result, when she was unhappy, she appeared more like a young girl, displaying sadness and melancholy, which made the other students in the class feel sorry for her.
"What's wrong, Camilla?" the girl next to her couldn't help but ask.
"Uh, it's nothing, I'm just a little curious." Camilla composed herself.
"Is there something special about Hedra? Everyone seems a bit afraid of her." In her eyes, this kind of following was like how lower-ranking members in the Blood Clan fear their superiors and dare not voice dissenting opinions.
"Hehe, this..." The girl's eyes darted around, she thought for a few seconds, and then gave a mischievous reply.
"That's how Hedra is. Not only are many classmates afraid of her, but the police officers on the street and the gang members in various alleys also know her and dare not offend her."
"Although her name sounds intimidating, she has a good personality. If you run into trouble outside, asking her for help will probably get you a good solution." The girl said this half-jokingly, which surprised Camilla, who was unaware of the truth.
"She seems to be only at the second tier, and her family background is probably not as good as Lovier's. Why does she have such a... uh, scary name?" Although she had only been in the class for a few days, she could still tell that Lovier was indeed the kind of rich heiress, whether it was her temperament and manners, or her food, clothing, and daily necessities.
"Who knows? Actually, last year, the Police Station specifically contacted Hedra and begged her to help resolve the problem. You know, even the Police Station chief came." She whispered in Camilla's ear again.
"Okay, I understand. I won't offend her easily." Camilla thought to herself that she was still very weak and should indeed be careful.
"Yes, that's right." Looking at Camilla's timid and obedient appearance, the girl suddenly felt a strange sense of accomplishment.
"Listen to your older sister from now on, and don't worry about anything in life." She somewhat enjoyed the feeling of taking care of someone and being relied upon, especially this incredibly delicate girl in front of her, which reminded her of how she used to be the older sister at home.
