I'm a little bit cute after transforming.

The morning sunlight streamed through the window, gently caressing Diana's cheeks.

Diana stretched after waking up.

Upon discovering that Jenny was gone, I got out of bed to find clothes to change out of my pajamas.

After searching around, I realized that the clothes I wore yesterday were gone, and I only found a school uniform!

Susan probably took it to wash; it's impossible for her to wear it with her school uniform.

After searching through the bracelet's storage space for a while, I found that it contained dresses prepared by Dorisia.

'Sister Dolly, you really love dresses!'

I tried to find a white dress to wear, but it always felt chilly down there.

When I opened the door, I found a lot of people gathered in the hallway around my old room.

Some people walked over out of curiosity and heard the murmurs of the crowd.

"What is the dean doing?"

"They're probably researching some kind of magic!"

"As expected of the dean, he's always doing research!"

Adolf, sitting by the door, twitched at the corner of his mouth. He never expected that such a small magic circle would contain so much magic power, and it hadn't shown any signs of dissipating all night!

Diana arrived at the room door and looked at Adolf, who had dark circles under his eyes and looked listless, and felt somewhat ashamed.

"Grandpa Dean, are you alright?"

Adolf looked at Diana and gave her a forced smile.

"Anna! It's alright, this little trouble is nothing to me."

"Um...actually, I can go and take back my magic!"

Before Adolf could stop her, she went into the room and placed her hand on the magic circle.

Feeling the familiar energy within the magic circle, I tried to retract it, and the magic circle slowly dissipated.

The temperature inside the room also dropped rapidly.

Seeing Adolf's shock, Diana could only pretend to be oblivious.

"Oh dear, I'm so hungry! Grandpa Dean, I'm going to have breakfast!"

After saying that, he ran away.

He watched Diana run away, then looked at the room, which had returned to calm.

Adolf fell into self-doubt, 'Is that all? What was the point of me spending the whole night working on this?'

Diana arrived at the dining room to find the maids preparing the tableware; they had clearly gotten up early.

I went to the kitchen and saw that Jenny and Susan were making breakfast.

Susan noticed Diana in the kitchen and quickly brought her a plate.

"Try it! Jenny made this breakfast especially for you this morning."

The plate contained fried eggs, sausages, bacon, and some vegetables; it was arranged quite nicely.

Looking at the uneven fried egg and the slightly burnt sausage, it's clear Jenny's cooking skills aren't very good.

Out of the corner of my eye, I noticed Jenny, her face flushed, secretly glancing in our direction.

I picked up a fork, speared the fried egg, and popped it into my mouth. It tasted alright, just a little bland.

Diana finished off all the food on her plate, a look of pure enjoyment on her face, and Jenny, who had been secretly watching, finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Susan prepared a lot of food, and the two of them ate breakfast right in the kitchen.

The trainees had also finished their breakfast.

Those who sat at the same table as Diana today felt something was missing; breakfast, with no one to fight over it, didn't seem so delicious anymore.

The second day of testing began, and the same instructor and Diana were in charge of the tests.

There seemed to be even more people today, with two orderly lines, and no nobles causing any trouble!

Everyone in Diana's group who was being tested greeted her warmly; news of yesterday's events had probably already spread.

Fitch, the chubby boy, brought a plate of delicate pastries to Diana.

"Sister! This was made by the most famous pastry chef in the capital. I had my family deliver it early this morning. You should try it!"

Diana's eyes lit up when she saw the pastries of all shapes and colors!

"Hmm~ Fitch, you're pretty good!"

"Jenny! You should try some too!"

He picked up a pastry and placed it in Jenny's hand, and she whispered a thank you.

He stuffed another pastry into his mouth.

"Mmm~ The soft texture is accompanied by a delicate floral fragrance. It's sweet but not cloying, and the aftertaste is endless. No wonder it's a pastry made by a master!"

The second prince, sitting to the side, gritted his teeth and gave a look to the maid beside him.

The maid quickly poured the brewed black tea into the cup.

The second prince presented Diana with a cup of red tea.

"Diana, this is black tea specially prepared for my father, the Emperor. Please have a taste!"

Diana took the cup of clear black tea and took a sip.

"The aroma is rich and sweet, and the taste is smooth and mellow. Excellent! Thank you, Your Highness!"

The second prince touched his nose. "Just call me by my name!"

"Yes, Your Highness!"

······

Around noon, Diana finally saw someone she knew.

The druid brought Korra to them, and the two stared in shock at Diana before them.

"Anna! What are you doing here, testing people?"

Diana rushed over to Cora's side and, seeing her pale face, sensed something was wrong.

An analysis revealed that Kola has an affinity for Earth, but the affinity is rather strange as it appears only faintly.

"Cora, you look terrible. What happened?"

Cora's eyes darted around. "No...it's nothing. I probably just didn't sleep well last night."

Diana didn't think much of it and arranged for Cora to start the test, instructing her to keep her hand on the crystal for a while.

Cora nervously placed her hand on the crystal, and after a while, the crystal began to glow with a faint yellow light, sometimes bright and sometimes dim.

The instructors nearby saw this scene, opened their mouths as if to say something, but then remembered the dean's instructions and ultimately chose to remain silent.

Diana hugged Cora tightly. "Great, Cora, you passed!"

Holding the soft Diana in her arms and smelling that familiar scent, Cora felt it was all worth it.

After bidding a reluctant farewell to the druid, Korra joined the testing team, and by then the long table was almost full.

He glanced at the Second Prince beside him.

The second prince felt a sense of foreboding. "That..."

"Your Highness, could you please move over a little?"

Diana looked on with anticipation.

The second prince quickly got up and moved his chair to the edge. "No problem!"

He took the chair that Fitch had brought and let Cora sit down next to him.

Cora looked worried. They had only been apart for a few days, and Diana already had so many people around her. What was she going to do?

The next test went very smoothly, and in the afternoon I ran into someone Diana knew.

Diana is a black-haired boy named Ivan who works at an inn in the outer city. Since acquiring the skill (Wisdom), she has had an excellent memory and can basically remember anyone she has met once before.

Ivan came alone, carrying a small package. He had also cut his hair short and looked much more energetic.

He placed his hand on the crystal, and in a moment the crystal ball turned as black as ink. Then, the crystal ball returned to its original state and emitted a blue light again!

The instructor looked at the scene before him with some emotion.

'A perfect affinity between dark and wind attributes! With proper training, this could be a top-tier assassin!'
