Positive little sun, magical girl, I am awesome

The extra exam on Monday doubled the pain. All the students were miserable, even Lilith, who usually had excellent grades, put on a mask of pain.

Finally, school was over and Lilith walked out of the classroom in a daze.

"Lilith——!" A boy waved and shouted Lilith's name loudly. Lilith turned around and saw that it was Woody, one of her playmates since childhood. The little girl on the swing next to him was his sister Gerda.

"It's such a pity that you didn't go to Gunter Town with us this weekend, Lilith! There were a lot of wandering art troupes at the market over there, with all kinds of acrobatic performances, and we could even see lions and tigers!" Little Woody excitedly showed off to Lilith what he had seen over the weekend.

"Oh... I have a lot of homework to do this weekend, Woody. Besides, those artists have come to our town before. I've seen them all." Lilith responded uninterested. Then she turned around and saw Woody's sister who was also uninterested. "What's wrong, Gerda? You look listless. Did your brother bully you again?"

"No!" Woody quickly cleared himself of suspicion, and curled his lips helplessly. "She was scared. I heard she had a nightmare last night. Humph, coward."

"What happened, Gerda?" Lilith and Gerda squeezed onto the same swing, concerned about this little sister who always followed them around and played everywhere.

Gerda's face, which was always healthy and rosy, was a little pale today. The warmth from Lilith comforted her. She leaned towards Lilith, still with some lingering fear on her face, and said, "There's a dead person..."

Lilith was so frightened that her heart skipped a beat and she asked in a lost voice, "What?!"

"Oh! Don't be so nervous." The rough-looking Woody waved his hand indifferently.

"She was frightened in the town of Gaunt. When we went there to play, we happened to see the sheriff executing a prisoner. There were a lot of people gathered around. Gerda thought it was some wonderful show and insisted on pulling me in. But when we got in, we saw the prisoner was burning. She was so scared that she burst into tears, hahahaha!"

Lilith rolled her eyes at Woody and said, "Why are you laughing at your sister like that, Woody? Please be a gentleman!" She hugged poor Gerda soothingly, and after thinking for a while, she asked, "But why was it burned at the stake? Did that person do something unforgivable?"

Gossipy Woody never let Lilith down. He leaned on the swing frame with his arms around the back of his head, talking excitedly -

"I heard from the people next to me that the man is a mysterious alchemist from outside the city! He was secretly selling some strange potions in Gaunt Town, and was discovered by the priest who came to Gaunt Town and ordered to arrest him. The priest received an oracle from the God of Light, which determined that the man's body had been invaded by evil spirits and his soul had been contaminated with other colors. Therefore, he had to use burning to destroy both his body and soul..."

A sharp tinnitus suddenly rang in Lilith's ears, drowning out everything else. She could no longer hear Woody's narration. Although she was in a sunny summer campus, Lilith felt like she was in an ice cave.

"Sister Lilith, are you cold?" little Gerda asked puzzledly. She found that Lilith's hand, which was hugging her, had become a little cold.

Lilith barely pulled the corners of her mouth, and continued to ask Woody for information with a curious look, "The color of the soul?" She seemed to have some clues to the questions she had these days...

"I heard that's the case, but we can't see it. Maybe only the Lord of Light and His followers can detect it." Woody speculated casually. "Fortunately, there is the Lord of Light, otherwise I don't know how many people this villain would have harmed... Hey? Lilith, where are you going?"

Lilith no longer had the energy to deal with Woody. "I have some questions to ask Teacher Kenny." After saying that, she turned around and left mechanically.

After walking out of Woody and Gerda's sight, Lilith slowly leaned against the empty corridor. Her face was pale, as if all the blood had been drained out, and her body was shaking slightly uncontrollably.

Lilith believed that she had accidentally touched upon the truth. Although she could never figure out what the gods of this world were, as a staunch materialist fighter in her previous life, she always believed that the so-called mysticism could only be regarded as a higher-dimensional science that could not be explained by current human science.

Those magical goblins, mushroom people, and the God of Light might just be high-dimensional creatures that she couldn't understand with her current knowledge. And the vision of these creatures was obviously different from that of ordinary people.

Just like the world seen by insects is completely different from that seen by humans.

They can see the color of the soul...

So those little creatures in the forest no longer paid attention to her since she awakened her past life memories? She couldn't use the familiar power of light anymore... The color of her soul must have changed!

Lilith was no longer in the mood to think about what the soul was. Her temples were throbbing. The most important thing now was -

I must never go to the Church of Light again.

Although she did not witness the prisoner being burned at the stake in the next town like Gerda, Lilith's rich imagination played tricks on her. The painful screams of the man burning on the gallows kept appearing in her mind, and she shuddered violently.

If the priests sent by the temple discovered that this person who had shown divine favor since childhood had suddenly lost this mysterious ability, would they look at her with the same suspicion?

She thought about Mary and other servants who loved her at home, and sighed sadly. She couldn't bet that the God of Light would show leniency to her. If she implicated other people who cared about her, Lilith would feel guilty and go crazy.

"Lilith? What are you doing here?" Teacher Kenny walked out of the office and saw Lilith standing in a daze in the corridor.

"Teacher..." Lilith couldn't help but tear up when she saw this gentle teacher who had always taken good care of her since childhood.

Teacher Kenny was shocked. In his eyes, this naughty student who was so clever that he was a headache showed this expression for the first time. He hurriedly asked, "What's wrong with you, Lilith? Are you feeling unwell?"

Lilith shook her head. After thinking it over again and again, she asked, "Teacher, if I want to stay in Shelley Town, how can I refuse the guidance of the Church of Light..."

Even though Mr. Kenny was used to students asking all kinds of headache-inducing or difficult-to-explain questions, he was still stunned by this question. He had never thought that someone would be unwilling to join the Church of Light. After thinking for a long time, he asked, "Lilith, do you really not like studying?"

"Huh?" Lilith, with a red nose, didn't expect Teacher Kenny's question to be so out of line. After thinking for a while, she answered seriously, "No, I like it."

No matter it was the innocent and ignorant Lilith before, or the Lilith after her memory awakened, they both loved reading. Although they occasionally skipped classes by climbing over the wall for fun, their grades in school were always very good.
