Positive little sun, magical girl, I am awesome

Lilith's heart skipped a beat. It turned out that this senior had just experienced the time when the elves left as the principal mentioned. She hurriedly flipped through the pages to see if the reason was recorded in the manuscript.

"Why, why is it like this? Teacher Giselle didn't even leave me a letter or a single word. My classmates all asked to go find the teachers and come back. I also wanted to go with them, but the principal wouldn't allow it. What happened this year..."

"All my efforts over the years have been in vain... I have always thought that I was very smart and took credit for the research on these hybrid crops. Now I understand that without Teacher Giselle's elf magic, I can't even achieve the initial hybrid crop characteristics, let alone breeding. How can I face the people in my hometown who are waiting for me to bring back seeds? All I have done is just a castle in the air. When the foundation is taken away, all my efforts will become a joke."

"Why is this happening, Teacher Giselle? Did I do something to make you angry? Are you tired of helping stupid humans do this kind of work against your will again and again? I'm sorry..."

Lilith silently closed the manuscript, leaned back in the quilt and remained silent for a long time. She held the light ball she had summoned with her illumination spell and fell into deep thought. It turned out that even the students back then did not understand why the elves left...

The fact that this manuscript is still lying on the shelf of the library shows that it was not forgotten by the elves, but was put there after the elves left. It seems that the senior lost the help of the elves, and his years of research turned into waste paper, so he gave up on himself, threw his manuscript at the academy and left...

"Elf magic..." She murmured in a low voice. No wonder this technology has not been popularized. Its foundation requires elven magic to cultivate excellent seeds. This senior obviously does not have the ability to master elven magic, so the plan was shelved. It is really a pity. If he succeeded, he must be a great man worthy of being recorded in history.

But Teacher Simon seemed to be very familiar with elven magic and taught her generously. Maybe... she could ask that teacher for some advice?

Lilith was thinking about how she could meet the teacher by chance, but she couldn't resist her sleepiness and fell asleep in the quiet night.

And then... he woke up again groaning in pain near dawn -

Cramps again! Lilith got up painfully and held her legs. She had been exercising too much recently, and her body seemed to be protesting. She was often awakened by sudden growing pains at night. The dull, aching pain came from deep in her bones, waking her up painfully from her deep sleep again and again.

Lilith was still conscious and couldn't control her instinctive emotional reaction. She couldn't help shedding a few tears at this time. She knew that this was her body warning her to take a rest and exercise properly, but for her, it was not the time to stop yet. She could only grit her teeth and wait for the end of the intense muscle contraction.

When the familiar pain ended, Lilith finally regained consciousness. She looked out the window at the still dark night and realized that she would not fall asleep again, so she simply got up and left the warm bed.

"Well, there's nothing wrong with this. It works better than an alarm clock, right?" Lilith splashed cold water on her face, encouraged herself, tied up the sandbag, and went out for a run.

The cat was still sleeping in a chair on the first floor. It was used to seeing Lilith coming down from upstairs at this time. It meowed, turned over and continued to sleep. Lilith couldn't help but smile when she saw that the dried meat she threw over had disappeared.

The campus before dawn is free of the hustle and bustle of the day. In fact, it is Lilith's favorite moment. The surroundings are quiet and silent, with only the sounds of her own footsteps and breathing, which makes her feel extremely comfortable, as if this campus belongs to her alone at this moment.

She came to the Mirror Lake and started her daily morning run, but this time she only ran the second lap when she found that Mirror Lake had welcomed its second visitor.

"...Lucas?" Lilith stopped, carefully identified the hair color of the person in front of her in the dim light, and called out hesitantly.

The figure not far away did not respond, but just stared blankly in the direction of the lake.

"You also get up early to exercise? I didn't expect that." Lilith adjusted her breathing and walked over slowly, but saw Lucas ignored her greeting, took a few steps forward, and stepped into the cold lake.

"Hey! It's very cold!" Lilith was startled. Although it had snowed, the ice on the lake was not thick. Lucas stepped on it and broke it into pieces, but he did not stop and continued to walk into the lake.

Lilith rushed over and tried to grab Lucas' hand, but she found that the boy's hand was cold. She then saw that Lucas was only wearing a single layer of clothes. It seemed that he had crawled out of the bed and walked directly here. Was this boy sleepwalking? !

"Lucas!" Lilith called him hurriedly.

But the boy was unconscious and wanted to continue walking into the water. Lilith had no choice but to strangle him from behind and drag him to the shore. Fortunately, although he stubbornly moved forward, his reaction was very slow. He was not as quick as Lilith, so he was dragged back by her and thrown to the ground.

"Lucas, wake up!" Lilith cast an illumination spell, and only then could she see the boy's pale face from the cold and his lifeless eyes that were silently shedding tears.

The other party was still unconscious and wanted to get up. Lilith called out to him and tried to hold him down, but it was of no use.

This can't go on, Lilith gritted her teeth and slapped him.

"Hiss——" The slap was not light. The dazed Lucas finally reacted. He raised his head and saw Lilith shaking her hands with a look of shock on her face.

"Lilith! What are you crazy about!"

"You're the one who's crazy!" Lilith was even more annoyed. She shook her numbed hand and said, "If it weren't for me, you would have been fed to the fish by now!"

Only then did Lucas see that they were next to Mirror Lake.

"Why am I here?" He wanted to rub his swollen face, but when he raised his hand, it was cold and wet. "Why... am I crying?"

"How should I know!" Lilith said angrily, "You can't be crying because of me beating you, right? I warn you not to blackmail you, I was just doing what is right and saving a sleepwalking teenager!"

"Sleepwalking..." Lucas murmured, "I, I seem to hear a song, Lilith, did you hear it?"

Lilith looked at him suspiciously and listened quietly for a while, but the only sound she could hear was her own breathing and the chattering sound of Lucas' teeth from the cold.

"No! Let's go back quickly! No matter how many anti-cold potions you drink, they will be useless in this state!" Lilith rolled her eyes. In order to pull Lucas, she also stepped into the lake. At this time, the coldness slowly seeped up from the soles of her feet. She began to shiver from the cold. Seeing that Lucas had regained consciousness, she no longer cared about him and turned around and ran back to the dormitory.

"But I...but I clearly heard it." Lucas stayed where he was, looking dazed.

"Someone is singing a song that expresses longing."
