About a week passed. Liana had rested well in the Lisat Royal Capital for a while. During this time, she didn’t train, but instead completely relaxed, changed her mood, and prepared to enter the Ibett Magic Academy.

Although, there wasn’t much Liana needed to prepare. With her identity as an elf, she could enter the academy after a simple inspection, without needing to go through the tedious examinations.

Liana’s main purpose in going to the Ibett Magic Academy wasn’t to practice magic. After all, she had already learned a lot during this time and had come to her own understanding of magic.

What Liana wanted to understand the most were the books in Ibett’s library. Since she could wield the holy sword, entering the library shouldn’t be too much of a problem.

However, something that Liana felt lately was the constant feeling of being followed. She didn’t know if it was her imagination. She had asked Minoga, but Minoga had just shaken her head.

Liana didn’t think too much about it. If she encountered danger, with her identity as an elf, Minoga could protect her openly.

Liana rode the carriage to the Ibett Magic Academy, a place she had once yearned for.

She saw the two giant Anti-Magic Stone Statues.

But this time, they stood erect on either side of the main gate and didn’t suddenly move as they had before.

However, when Liana looked at the statues, she still felt that dizzying sensation, which made her stop looking at them. 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝚠𝕖𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝕖𝚕.𝚌𝗼𝗺

Liana took a step forward, followed behind Mephilia, and passed through the main gate.

The students of the Ibett Magic Academy all walked in the air, lavishly displaying their magic skills.

The place was filled with the aura of magic, giving Liana a feeling similar to the Elf Forest.

In the Lisat Kingdom, there were some restrictions on the use of magic to accommodate ordinary people who couldn’t use it. But here, all restrictions were lifted, and one could freely release their magic.

The entire structure of the Ibett Magic Academy was also made of a special anti-magic material, which could effectively absorb spells and reduce damage to the academy.

The roots of the ancient trees on both sides of the corridor were coiled and intertwined, glowing with a faint green light, absorbing the overflowing mana from the surroundings. Liana could feel that these plants were products of the Elf Forest.

Of course, none of this was the most important thing. The treasure of the Ibett Magic Academy, or rather, the treasure of the entire Lisat Kingdom, was in the building before her.

Apart from the grand hall of the academy’s main body, the deepest part of one’s line of sight was the treasure of the Lisat Kingdom, the main circular library.

It contained almost every magic book in this world, and the library was protected by a powerful barrier.

Of course, the barrier was not the main point. Although its strength was high, it was not indestructible. The main point was that after the barrier was destroyed, the two Anti-Magic Stone Statues would awaken to protect the library.

Not to mention, the moment you made a move on the barrier, the teachers would step in to suppress you.

No one would risk being expelled, or even killed, to do such a thing.

“Can I go take a look?” Liana asked.

“Of course.” Mephilia led Liana to the main gate.

“Princess Mephilia, do you think I can get in?” Liana stood at the gate, her heart already starting to feel nervous.

It would be troublesome if she couldn’t get in.

“Of course you can.” Mephilia had even more confidence than Liana. “Everyone has seen your contributions. So, don’t worry about that. You can definitely do it. If even you can’t be acknowledged, then no one is qualified.”

“I hope so.” Liana took a deep breath and extended her hand.

The gate did not open, but it did not reject Liana either. Her entire body passed right through it.

If Mephilia hadn’t been by her side and reached out to pull her, Liana would have probably fallen to the ground.

“For those who can enter the library, the gate is just a decoration,” Mephilia said with a laugh.

“You fiend,” Liana cursed in a small voice.

How could she not know that Mephilia was teasing her?

Mephilia smiled and let go of Liana’s hand.

After all, there were still many people watching. They couldn’t be too intimate.

The moment Liana entered, she was stunned by the sight before her.

The library was not a repository of books in the ordinary sense, but a fantastical and vast “sea of books.”

There were no so-called bookshelves here. Countless magic books were suspended in mid-air, floating about freely. But Liana also saw some people trying to get books, only for the books to pass right through their hands.

Even using magic, tools, and various other methods, they still couldn’t get the books.

And some people couldn’t even set foot inside this library.

“In here, whatever kind of book you want to read, just think about it in your mind, and that book will appear in your mind. Next, it will depend on your own performance. Use any method to obtain that book. Of course, this process is basically not difficult,” Mephilia introduced this peculiar library to Liana. “Just as I said before, to read some books, you need to be acknowledged by this library. Otherwise, you simply won’t be able to get that book.”

“What if I insist on reading that book?” Liana asked.

It was no longer a question of whether the library would let her read it, but that she had to read it.

“That would be extremely difficult, and you might even face life-threatening danger. You can try, but I don’t really recommend it,” Mephilia said very seriously. “There was once a person who did just that. Not only did they fail to obtain the reading rights for that book, but they even lost half their life.”

“I see...” Liana felt a bit of lingering fear. She still cherished her life.

“But some ordinary books are still very easy to get.” Mephilia waved her hand, and a book landed in it. “You try it too. Since you were able to come here, the most basic books shouldn’t be a problem.”

“Okay.” Liana nodded, closed her eyes, and randomly thought of a book about creation magic in her mind.

A book appeared in her hand. “It’s really that simple...”

“See? As long as it’s an acknowledged book, you can get it in your hands very easily,” Mephilia said with a laugh.

Liana flipped through the book. Since it was her first time, she had chosen a relatively basic one. Minoga had brought her a collection before, so Liana had basically read this book already.

This time was just a test. Liana didn’t plan on picking the highest difficulty from the ✪ Nоvеlіgһt ✪ (Official version) start.

The main reason was that there would be a welcome party in the Ibett Magic Academy later. Although Liana didn’t like it much, she had to at least show her face.

Just as Liana was about to leave, a figure walked toward her. Luckily, Liana reacted quickly enough, otherwise she would have been bumped into.

“Sorry.”

Her voice was a bit hoarse. She wore a white mask and had a head of red hair.

“I’m fine.” Liana waved her hand dismissively, then asked with some concern, “Are you alright?”

When Liana entered the academy, Loraviel also followed behind her.

If she hadn’t seen Her Highness Liana in the private garden before, it would have been truly difficult for Loraviel to realize that the elf before her was Her Highness.

No, that’s not right. Even if she hadn’t seen her, Loraviel would have been able to confirm that the other party was Her Highness Liana.

Because Princess Mephilia, just like herself, knew that Her Highness was not dead. And, just like herself, she was deeply in love with Her Highness and simply could not tolerate anyone else.

The only person who could be so close to Princess Mephilia was Her Highness Liana.

Loraviel was originally qualified to come to the Ibett Magic Academy, not to mention now with Orleya’s help.

Loraviel looked at the academy. She had originally lost a lot of interest. She had already trained everything she could to the extreme. Now, the Ibett Magic Academy had lost its appeal to her.

But after seeing the environment of the academy, after seeing many young couples holding hands and spending a wonderful time on campus...

Loraviel had a change of heart. If she could be with Her Highness Liana in the Ibett Magic Academy, enjoying school life just like them, wouldn’t that be nice?

Loraviel followed behind Liana and arrived before the Ibett library.

She also, like Liana, extended her hand and passed right through the door.

She quickly learned how to get a book and read. She casually picked up a book about poison to look at.

“...It looks a bit familiar.” Loraviel flipped to the first page and saw the author’s name, Orleya.

“Teacher Orleya is really amazing,” Loraviel said with emotion. To be able to leave a book in this library was no simple feat.

Loraviel closed the book. It was of no use to her anymore. Besides, her purpose in coming here was not to read books, but for a certain little cake.

She came to Liana’s side and accidentally bumped her with her shoulder.

“Sorry.” As an assassin, changing her voice was too simple for Loraviel.

Liana was also wearing a mask. From her actions, Loraviel could tell that Her Highness was a little confused.

Loraviel could already imagine what kind of expression Her Highness had under the mask.

Her Highness didn’t recognize her. Of course, if she had been recognized, then her past year of training would have been in vain.

“I’m fine. Are you alright?” Liana asked with some concern.

Her Highness is still so gentle.

“I’m fine. It’s probably because it’s my first time here, I’m a little too excited,” Loraviel said.

“I understand you. I was also incredibly excited when I first came here,” Mephilia said, taking a step forward.

“You are... Princess Mephilia?”

“I am. But here, I am just a student. We are all the same. There’s no need to use honorifics with me,” Mephilia said with a smile.

“Thank you, Princess Mephilia. You are indeed as the legends say, a very gentle princess,” Loraviel said.

“It’s probably because I was influenced by a certain someone.” Whenever she had the chance, Mephilia would praise Liana in front of others.

Loraviel of course knew who she was talking about. “I wonder if Princess Mephilia will be participating in the welcome party tonight?”

“I’m not very fond of that kind of gathering, but I will still go to show my face.”

“I see. Perhaps we will meet again tonight.” Loraviel took a step back and bid the two farewell.

Liana looked at the other’s departing back, feeling a sense of familiarity.

“What’s wrong?” Mephilia asked.

Liana shook her head. “It’s nothing. Shouldn’t we go and prepare for tonight’s welcome party?”

“Mm.”

As night fell, Liana arrived at the plaza of the Ibett Magic Academy.

An elderly mage in a gray robe stood on the stage. He looked very old, and only had some faint mana fluctuations on his body, not looking like much of a threat.

Liana hadn’t expected to go through this after coming to another world. The headmaster was up there spouting all sorts of ‘nonsense,’ which made Liana yawn. Fortunately, the speech did not last long.

The people in the plaza began to disperse, but many also stayed behind. Those who could enter Ibett Magic Academy all had their unique qualities, so they were naturally unwilling to miss the opportunity to get to know one another.

Not to mention, this time, there were also many elves who had come.

And the elves who were willing to come to this place were mostly those who had some interest in humans. They also enthusiastically accepted the humans’ invitations.

Among them, many had their eyes on Liana, but because Princess Mephilia was by her side, basically no one came over.

But there would always be one or two who were special.

“Miss Elf, would you be willing to have a dance with me?”

“Sorry, I’m not very good at dancing...” Liana raised her head, and just as she was about to refuse, she saw the other person’s face.

Erinna?

It wasn’t very surprising for her to be here. After all, she was originally a student as well. It was normal for her to come back at the start of the school year.

And, ever since she knew she was still alive, Erinna had made a very obvious change. The Venus Dukedom was also relatively stable for the time being.

But what confused Liana was, what was she doing?

Erinna definitely knew who she was. What did she want by inviting her to dance at this time?

“...” Liana thought of her previous conversation with Erinna and roughly knew why.
