After the end-of-year evaluation, the Guardians finally finished the last lesson of the school year. Everyone began to clean up the battlefield skillfully and put the various training equipment into storage waiting for continued use in the new semester.

The energetic young people were chatting and joking as they marched, stretching the scattered team into a very long line.

Ian, who was walking in front, was daydreaming quietly, but Lucas and others beside him kept whispering, pushing and winking at him. The boy finally slowed down his pace obediently and waited for his partner behind him.

He seemed to have been thinking for a long time, and stammered: "Lilith, I, I——"

Lilith stopped and looked over, watching in surprise as Ian's face gradually turned red.

Lilith: "What's wrong?"

Ian: "Um, dance-"

"Get out of here, little brat!" A big hand pressed on his head and pushed him away.

It was Instructor Wolf, who was still arguing with Lilith: "Did you even listen to me? Do I need to give you a separate crisis awareness training course?"

Ian was whipped away by the instructor and left the field with regret.

"Jealousy has deformed you, teacher." Lilith smacked her lips, carrying a long wooden stake as she walked briskly. "I did learn a few things from some of my new friends, but what's wrong with learning more?"

She looked at Wolfe, whose face was filled with gloom, thought for a moment, and added, "Even if one day I become a legendary magic swordsman known throughout the continent, I will still say that my teacher is you!"

"Of course - is that the point?!" Instructor Wolfe was about to grin but quickly frowned.

"Stop playing dumb, Lilith!" There was clearly an alien influence behind her fighting skills. He saw it, and so did his colleague Hurst.

"There are always kids like you who are overly enthusiastic about foreign cultures. Do you think all those beautiful foreigners are good people? I'm worried you'll go astray!"

Lilith opened her mouth. Could it be that her non-human attributes were so obvious that even the teacher could see it? Wait, on second thought… many of the friends she had made outside of school were actually not human.

"Hehe." Lilith laughed like a pervert.

Instructor Wolfe's face darkened even further.

Seeing this, Lilith quickly defended herself: "It's unfair, teacher!"

She turned around, carrying the stake, and swung it in a semicircle. The nearby guardians were quick to move away from her, thus preventing any innocent people from being hurt. Then Lilith shouted, "Besides, this isn't a wrong path at all. Isn't this the right path we must take?"

Wolfe frowned: "What did you say?"

The warehouse was opened, raising a cloud of dust. Lilith simply used magic to make the heavy equipment fly into its designated position, saving some energy for the students who were still dawdling behind.

Then she clenched her fist and placed it on her chest, speaking loudly and righteously, "The crisis is imminent, and the people of all races on the continent should unite and face it together!"

Her voice was so loud that all the students who had not left looked over. Seeing Lilith's serious expression, some even started to cheer in response.

Instructor Wolfe: …………

"You... ahem! You are already an adult, Lilith." Wolfe felt a headache looking at the girl's young and innocent face.

Lilith looked puzzled: "What exactly do you want to say?"

Wolfe's eyebrows, which had been left unmaintained, were tangled together. Looking at the mess of brats around him, he said angrily, "...Forget it, I'll let Rebecca talk to you!"

Why are you still complaining? — Lilith glared at the teacher, angry but unable to speak.

However, Wolf glared back without any guilt. "Why not pay more attention to the people around you and learn from those good kids, like... like Ian! Look how much less of a worry they make me!"

Lilith sneered: Teacher, the easy-going classmate Ian was just beaten away by you!

At this point, this chaotic and busy school year has finally come to an end.

And the graduation dance is finally about to begin.

…………

The lobby of the main castle of Goletia has been completely renovated.

This year, Her Royal Highness the Princess is in charge of the work. Everyone is busy but not chaotic, and the Student Union's arrangements are progressing steadily.

Amid the occasional sounds of musical instruments, Lilith climbed the stairs alone to the highest point of the castle. With Aryan's help, she climbed out of the window and stood with him on the eaves of the towering castle.

Such a height blocked out the sight of others. The night elf appeared calmly, standing in the sun with Lilith, overlooking the entire city of Goletia.

"The king of Mulet died a long time ago? I see..." Lilith muttered to herself after listening to Aryan's report.

"After we passed the news back, Petra immediately took action. The current king is impersonated by her."

Aryan reminded Lilith to watch her step, chuckling self-deprecatingly, "Of course I know no human would consider us compatriots, but who could have imagined that bastard would betray us like this... He deserves to die."

The elf's tone was unusually cold.

"So, the war in the South is almost over." Lilith pondered, stirring the paint in her hand. "I wonder if that's enough time for Catherine."

"We've already helped her delay for long enough. If the little princess is so incompetent, why would you and Gichel care so much about a piece of trash?"

His beautiful green eyes darted around, and then he flatteredly suggested, "Or do you want to support a king? It would be better to do it yourself. The king of Mulet is timid but lustful, so it wouldn't be unreasonable if an adult female heiress suddenly appeared."

Lilith was speechless: "Do I look like I really like working?"

Aryan looked at her back in silence: "I see you like it very much..."

Lilith climbed up the castle wall today not to meet him, but to draw magic runes on the castle wall at the request of the princess. While talking with Aryan, she kept painting like a hardworking little bee.

He could understand those runes. After Lilith finished drawing them, the tall dome and the small spire would emit a bright light at night, enough to illuminate several kilometers away. Even the High Court might be able to see it. It was like a lighthouse guiding the route.

"Please watch your step... You really care about the little princess." Aryan's tone was sour.

Lilith kept her hands busy and retorted with a smile: "No, that's not the case. This is what we all think."

She turned her head and glanced at the elf. "Catherine and I both feel that Goletia City has been low-key for long enough. Its current reputation is unworthy of the efforts of my predecessors. She and they should not be forgotten..."

I want everyone to be able to not ignore this place, and remind everyone why it has stood for thousands of years."

Aryan was speechless for a moment. He quietly watched Lilith busy herself for a long time before reminding her, "That principal... I heard she's become mentally retarded a long time ago. She doesn't even know how to thank you for doing this."

"I'm not doing this for her gratitude." Lilith held Aryan's hand and jumped down from the top of the spire, and continued painting in another place.

"You just said that even if the night elves converted to the Darkmoon Goddess, the Mulet Kingdom still betrayed you... These days, I often feel that the gap between the different races is too deep. Everyone is wary of each other and calculating, and the lack of information has exacerbated the conflicts."

Aryan shrugged noncommittally.

"But the world will not remain unchanged. We need to communicate and rebuild trust before we can reach a new alliance." Lilith's voice became serious.

"There's no better place to do this than at Goletia Academy, where inclusion and unity are paramount, just as they were thousands of years ago."

Aryan raised an eyebrow. He seemed to have heard these words thousands of years ago, but these jobs did not belong to...

Then he saw Lilith's shoulders slump again, and she said guiltily, "Of course, I don't have a specific plan yet. Ah, I'm increasingly convinced that Human King Zora is truly remarkable! She's actually been able to unite all the races. How do you think she does it?"

Sure enough - Aryan smiled, "That Lady Zora, she."

The night elf suddenly fell silent. Lilith turned around in confusion, and found herself alone on the gray castle roof.

Eh?

"Who are you talking to?"

There was a sudden sound at the window. Lilith was startled and turned around to see the dazzling red hair.

It was Leila who was looking at her in confusion.

"Leila? Ah, I, I'm--" Lilith felt guilty.

But Leila obviously didn't have time to ask further questions. She extended her hand to her, motioning her to go back through the window. "Don't be busy for now. Her Highness Catherine sent me to call you. Your partner is in trouble."

Lilith breathed a sigh of relief, took her sister's hand and climbed into the window. After landing, she asked, "What did Lucas do again?"

But the answer was unexpected.

Leila shook her head. "It's not him. It's that Ian."
