I'm a little bit cute after transforming.

After all the fruit in the air had been distributed, Diana continued to channel magic into the green magic circle, and the three fruit trees, while bearing abundant fruit, also began to grow slowly.

The children who hadn't received their fruit yet looked on with anticipation as they saw the fruit trees starting to bear fruit again.

Adolf couldn't resist seeing this and went to Diana's side.

"Anna! If you keep using up your magic, you'll be very weak later!"

Diana looked puzzled.

"Does consuming magic power weaken the body? I've never experienced that!"

Adolf stroked his damp, somewhat tangled beard, adopting a lecturing tone.

"You don't understand! Magic power is like a person's energy and spirit. If you consume a lot of magic power, you will at least feel mentally exhausted. If you deplete all your magic power, you may even faint!"

Diana nodded in sudden realization, and Adolf nodded with satisfaction when he saw that she understood.

However, Diana turned around and continued to channel magic into the magic circle.

"That's alright! I have a little bit too much magic power!"

Adolf paused in stroking his beard, then plucked out some more. "So you didn't listen to a word I said!"

Adolf knew that Diana had a lot of magic power, but even the most powerful magic power would eventually run out!

If Adolf had seen Diana's mana, he wouldn't have thought that way.

At that moment, a middle-aged man covered in blood ran over, but was stopped by Adolf on the way.

"Who goes there! Don't come any closer!"

Adolf held his staff, his face full of vigilance.

The man saw Diana in the distance, and the smiling children eating fruit. At that moment, he seemed to have found a mission to continue living!

Torres immediately knelt on the ground.

"Miss! Please let me follow you! Let me clear the thorns from your path, even if it means death, I won't blink an eye!"

Adolf didn't understand what was going on with this man, but he felt that something was off about him.

Diana glanced back and recognized Torres, the gatekeeper who had led her there. She didn't respond and continued distributing fruit to the children, while Torres remained kneeling quietly, showing no intention of getting up.

After the fruit was distributed to everyone, a large procession of carriages came from the direction of the academy.

Adolf began to arrange for everyone to board the carriages. There were simply too many children; dozens of carriages could not transport them all at once, so they had to be divided into two groups!

After the first convoy departed under the escort of several academicians, not long afterward, the sound of dense hoofbeats came from the direction of the royal palace.

Adolf looked warily in that direction, while Toris, who had been kneeling on the ground, stood up, his body tense, ready to fight at any moment.

You can see the gleaming silver armor from afar, and the white-haired old man at the front exudes an aura of oppression!

By this time, a large crowd had gathered around to watch.

"That's the Sword Saint! The living Sword Saint!"

"Keep your voice down, kid, or the Sword Saint will hear you!"

"Uh... I lost my composure a bit. I didn't expect the Sword Saint to personally intervene! That Diana will probably have to surrender soon!"

"That's not necessarily true! I've seen Diana in action! Her sword strike was absolutely unstoppable! There's still a crack over a hundred meters long in the ground of Wanfu Street!"

"Really?! That's so exaggerated!"

Adolf's pupils contracted as he realized the leader was actually the Sword Saint. 'This is a huge problem!'

The Sword Saint arrived with a group of knights, and Adolf raised his staff.

"Old man! If you want to capture Anna, you'll have to get past me first!"

The Sword Saint suddenly laughed.

"Can you beat me?"

Adolf snorted coldly.

"What are you so smug about! Do you think I'm afraid of you when I can use magic?"

Seeing that Adolf seemed really about to make a move, the Sword Saint decided to stop teasing him.

"Alright! I'm not here to capture Anna!"

The Sword Saint dismounted, glanced around, and saw Diana leaning against a tree in the distance eating an apple. He smiled helplessly and waved to her.

"Anna! Come here quickly! I have something to tell you."

Diana tossed the remaining half of the apple into her mouth and strolled over. (Kids, don't try this! Apple cores are poisonous, remember!)

"Master Yi, what brings you here! You're not here to arrest me too, are you? You can't beat me!"

The Sword Saint's lips twitched, and he coughed lightly. "I'm still your master, for goodness' sake! Don't I have any dignity?!"

"I didn't come here to arrest you. It was Brenda who took it upon himself to arrest you!"

"His Majesty has learned the reason for the matter. Not only has he not punished you, but he has also decided to elevate your rank to Marquis!"

Adolf stared at the Sword Saint in disbelief. 'What's going on?! Not only was there no punishment, but his rank was even promoted! What's wrong with His Majesty?'

Seeing the Sword Saint looking at Diana with such affection, Adolf seemed to understand something. 'Indeed! It was a wise decision to have Anna become the Sword Saint's apprentice!'

"Oh, he's smart enough to know his place. If he comes looking for trouble again, I wouldn't mind tear down his palace!"

The Sword Saint wiped away his cold sweat. 'This girl really fears nothing, even though she certainly has the strength to back it up.'

"His Majesty will also issue a decree that prohibits the sale of children from now on, and anyone found doing so will be severely punished!"

Adolf couldn't believe that the nobles would agree to this decree. Little did he know that the nobles had been terrified by Diana, and that no amount of profit mattered in the face of life.

Diana controlled an apple in the air to fall into her hand, took a bite, and then manipulated several more apples to float in front of the Sword Saint and Adolf.

"Master, would you like an apple? It's very sweet!"

The Sword Saint instinctively caught the floating apple, only to realize that these suspended apples were controlled by qi. 'What a waste! You use the qi for sword control like this!'

Adolf took the apple, somewhat taken aback, as he didn't sense any magical fluctuations.

"Anna! How did you do that?!"

Diana manipulated an apple, spinning it between her arms.

"Master Yi taught me! I just learned it yesterday, and it's quite useful!"

Adolf looked at the Sword Saint with a mocking expression, 'Little brat! See? You got slapped in the face, didn't you?'

The Sword Saint looked somewhat embarrassed, but upon seeing Adolf's expression, he immediately understood what he was thinking.

Just then, the carriages returning from the academy arrived, and Adolf went to arrange for the remaining people to board them.

The Sword Saint then remembered that there was something important he had almost forgotten to mention, and quickly called out to Diana.

"Anna! His Majesty has decided to grant you the city of Oliver on the northern border as your fief! His Majesty requests that you go there as soon as possible to assume your post!"

Diana was quite far away, and the Sword Saint's voice was loud enough for everyone around to hear.

Some onlookers were filled with envy; after all, it was a huge city!

"What's so good about it! Oliver City may be big, but the land there is barren and it's constantly harassed by demons. It's definitely a hot potato!"

"You're just a sour grapes! If I were the lord of a city, I'd be happy even in the most remote place!"

"You're dreaming! You call yourself the lord of a city? You can't even be the head of your own household! You're controlled by your wife!"

"What? I'm willing, and you're jealous because you don't have a wife!"

The man was hit where it hurt, and he immediately punched the other man, and then the two brothers started fighting in the street...

The bystanders were once again indulging in some gossip.
