Really? I'm fighting the Dark Emperor.

It was a very strange morning.

My classmate Kitty from the next class bought a mirror. You can tell she really likes it and wants everyone to know how much she likes it. She was running around everywhere early in the morning, seemingly preparing to show off her new mirror to every class.

Ruibusi ran into her three times, from the dormitory to the cafeteria and then to the classroom.

When I first encountered it, I stopped and took a second look. It was golden and sparkly... very unique.

Before she could ask a question, Meow Meow Katie, who was in a bad mood because Barbie had scolded her in the classroom, regained her smug look when she saw someone was attracted to her mirror. She raised her head and generously allowed Rapese to take it and look at it carefully:

"This mirror is one of a kind in the entire universe. Be careful when handling it, or you won't be able to afford to pay for it if you break it, meow!"

Oh.

She took it and glanced at it; the mirror was sparkly, but unfortunately it wasn't pure gold. Rui Bu Si instantly lost interest.

She was drawn to something else.

She wasn't sure if the fancy mirror was unique, but Meow Meow Katie's smug laughter was quite distinctive.

It sounded really good. She couldn't help but imagine herself in that situation, feeling that making that sound when doing something bad was particularly impressive.

However, before she could even ask, when Meow Meow Katie met her gaze, she snatched the mirror back and inexplicably snapped, "What are you looking at?"

?

strange.

Is this kind of laughter unique to the family?

The second and third time they met, Meow Meow Katie stood arrogantly in the middle of the crowd, surrounded by classmates who were attracted by the mirror. Her lips were tightly pressed together, as if she was worried about something but didn't want anyone to see it.

Their eyes met, and Rui Bu Si was glared at by her: "Hmph!"

?

The third time they met, she didn't even glance at Meow Meow Kitty, but the other person must have seen her, because she heard two "Hmph! Hmph!" sounds.

? ?

Surely not? What kind of family is so strange as to treat laughter as their unique skill?

She almost missed her morning class because of these three encounters, but she arrived at the classroom before Qian Jin.

This is where the advantage of a teacher having a bad memory comes in.

After the exam, Qian Jin didn't have the stern face of other teachers who exuded a murderous aura. He was as usual, and even considered the upcoming magic appraisal exam, allowing everyone to review freely during the class.

That's good. If her grades weren't so bad, Ruibusi might have liked Potions for a couple of seconds.

"What's wrong with Lan Bao...?" Standing in their usual spot during Potions Lab, looking around at the unfamiliar faces, Rui Bu Si wasn't quite sure why. "Did he get tired of the old face and change it?"

She remembered that although Lambo lacked confidence overall, her confidence in her looks was perhaps influenced by Ginny, making her somewhat overconfident.

"Great, Genny, there are still people who can recognize me..." After the plastic surgery, many people he met couldn't recognize him, and even when he told them the truth, some people still didn't believe him.

Lan Bao explained dejectedly, "It's not that I'm tired of looking at it, it's because I drank the 'look at me with new eyes' potion."

How could anyone ever get tired of looking at such a handsome face?

"Originally, I wanted to become someone who would be admired," he said, raising his hands in a pose symbolizing power, then rubbing his unfamiliar face in dejection. "Who knew it would turn out to be this kind of admiration?"

Rui Bu Si roughly understood.

Regardless of the reason for her admiration, she was quite impressed that they had successfully made the potion.

"Potions without an antidote can't pass the teaching review to enter the school library. Wouldn't it be better to just retrieve the antidote and restore them?" Why do they both look so dejected, as if they'll never recover?

Surely someone like Da Tian Tian, ​​who holds so many certificates, can't come up with an antidote?

“Well… there is an antidote,” Genny Tse explained. “Head Nurse Big Sweetie has already analyzed the ingredients of the potion, and the antidote will be ready soon.”

However, compared to this face, Lanbao still prefers his original appearance. Even if it's only for a few days, the strange looks from his classmates are enough to make him feel frustrated.

He was dejected, and after Genny had finished offering words of comfort, she could only share his dejection.

Once things were cleared up, things would be much simpler. Rui Bu Si stopped paying attention; Lan Bao's appearance didn't make much difference to her, and she'd get used to it quickly after a few more glances. She randomly flipped to a page in the book and then slammed it shut.

There are also things that you can't get used to after just a few glances.

Forget it, let's chat instead.

Fortunately, neither Genny nor Sapphire were in the mood to concoct magic potions.

"Making a potion that can transform you must be quite complicated. Did Ukunana teach you?" Wait a minute, Ukunana isn't the kind of person who doesn't ask questions.

"No, that's not it." In class, apart from Mi Yaxing and Xia Guanglei, the rest of them were all about the same, and the potions they made were "each with their own merits." Thinking that he and Lan Bao could make such a complicated potion, Genny was a little proud. "We made it ourselves."

Did they make it themselves?

The head nurse, Da Tiantian, analyzed the original formula and then made an antidote... Will it work?

“…Hmm,” recalling her performance in class, she looked Lan Bao’s new face up and down again, without saying anything discouraging, “Actually, it’s pretty much the same as you used to be.”

In a way, being able to make mistakes and still perfectly achieve the original effect is also a kind of genius.

As for the possibility of it being identical to the original formula... oh, that's extremely slim, don't even consider it.

"Really? Genny said so too, but Piao Piao doesn't think so..." Lan Bao covered her face, her bad mood barely improved by those words.

None of the people who could supervise their self-study were in the classroom. Forget about making magic potions seriously, the equipment was spotless after the whole class, without a single fingerprint left.

Genny recounted his complicated experience with Lamb yesterday, and after he finished, get out of class was over. Suddenly, he realized something was missing: "Where's Sprout?"

"Oh, Duck has been eating too many snacks these past few days, and it seems a bit off today. Ya Ya took it to the infirmary after taking it off the job." After dealing with Duck's condition, Ya Ya will probably get a lecture from Head Nurse Da Tian Tian.

—I just said I was going to lose weight, but less than a day later I ended up in the infirmary because I ate too many snacks.

"So yesterday, it was because you kept mentioning cheating that Director Pa kept running to the library," Rui Bu Si said disdainfully.

"Huh—, instead of improving their own abilities, they always think about taking shortcuts."

"The exam is tomorrow." If he and Lanbao were as powerful as the other cute knights, they certainly wouldn't resort to underhanded methods. "Why don't you seem worried at all?"

"Because before Miya Xing left, she told me her secret to passing the exam~"

“I don’t believe it,” Genny said, unfazed. “I heard you talking that day, and he clearly didn’t say anything.”

"Great! I knew someone was watching us from behind. Turns out it was you eavesdropping on our conversation!"

The two of them started playfully fighting instantly, while Lanbao stood to the side holding the small mirror that Wulala had just generously sponsored, feeling a pang of sadness.

Whether they wanted to or not, whether they were worried or anxious, the magic proficiency test arrived as scheduled the next day.
