... ...
Hulim arrives at the preparatory school.
At this moment, at the gate of the preparatory school, many boys and girls who were about the same age as Hulim had already entered the school.
"Good morning, Hulim, long time no see!"
"Well, good morning!"
After greeting a few familiar people, Hulim walked towards her classroom.
"Hey! Hulim, you're here at this time on the first day of the new school year? I'm glad you've never been late before!"
Just as I was about to reach the classroom, a blonde girl with two curly ponytails blocked my way. She was wearing a beautiful gothic skirt, white knee-high socks, and a pair of brand new leather shoes. She had a proud expression on her face.
"Unlike me, this lady has already arrived. This kind of early action is the style of a noble~!"
"Um... um, who are you?"
Hulim suddenly asked.
The blonde girl's expression froze instantly.
Then, he shouted angrily, "Flan! I'm Fran Banton! Why can't you remember me?!"
"Fran Banton... I remember now, it's Fran. Sorry, I didn't recognize her, she's changed so much."
Hulim said in a condescending tone.
However, Fran was not fooled.
"Stop lying! It's only been a short while since we last met, how could you have changed so much? You definitely didn't remember me before, did you?!"
Hulim: "..."
"Wait, don't be silent, why are you suddenly silent? You're acting like I was right! This is too much, you really don't remember me!"
"Students outside, please come into the classroom. Class is about to start!"
The teacher's voice in the corridor temporarily rescued Hulim.
"It's time to go to the classroom. We can talk about it later if there's anything. Um... Fran?"
After saying that, Hulim walked past Fran and headed towards the classroom.
"Huh? Wait, what's the meaning of that subtle pause? Haven't you memorized my name yet?! Hey, don't go yet, explain it to me clearly!"
Hulim ignored the voice behind her and quickly walked into the classroom. Behind her, Fran obviously didn't want to let it go so easily and was about to say something else.
"Student over there, please come into the classroom quickly."
“Hmm…”
After being called by the teacher, Fran had to temporarily give up pestering Hulim. After looking at her back angrily, she followed her into the classroom.
... ...
"Classmates, congratulations on entering the new school year. You've learned a lot in the previous school year, but~, the teacher really wants to know how much you still remember after the long vacation, so..."
The teacher on the stage seemed to be facing everyone with a gentle smile, but no one knew that there was something sinister hidden beneath that smile.
He took out a stack of test papers slowly from under the podium and placed them directly on the podium.
"So today the teacher is going to give you a comprehensive test. How is it? Are you happy?"
"Hey! Don't be so sudden!"
"What should I do? I almost forgot everything!"
"Don't be like this at the beginning of the school year, teacher!"
"If I fail the test, will I be scolded..."
For a while, the classroom was filled with sighs.
However, this does not prevent the examination from proceeding.
The exam started quickly, and after it ended, the teacher immediately graded it, as if determined to let the students' parents know on the first day how "hard" their children had worked during the holidays.
As the test results came out, the teacher announced everyone's scores in class.
"...In first place is Hulim Hailar!"
When Hulim's name was called, all eyes in the classroom turned to Hulim, and among them, one gaze was particularly strong.
"Damn it! How is this possible? I was actually outdone by Hulim!"
Fran, a girl with golden curly hair and twin ponytails sitting a few rows behind Hulim, was holding the test paper, staring at Hulim's back and gritting her teeth.
"This shouldn't be possible. I've been learning from private tutors since I was a child. I've already learned everything taught in preparatory school before everyone else, and I even reviewed it during the holidays. The Haieral family shouldn't have the extra money to hire a tutor. But I, I actually lost to Hulim in terms of grades?"
"It's infuriating, so infuriating. I can't accept this. There must be something wrong here!"
"I must find out!"
Because of what happened in the morning, Fran was already quite resentful towards Hulim, and now even her confident results were surpassed, which made her feel frustrated and humiliated. The two combined made Fran swear in her heart that she must get back at him.
At this moment, Hulim was completely unaware that someone was staring at her fiercely, and she still had an expressionless face.
On the other hand, because of the good and bad grades, the classroom is noisy at the moment. Many people are worried about how to report back after returning home, and have no intention of listening to what the teacher is saying, which gives the teacher a headache.
So he chose to make an announcement.
"Okay, everyone, be quiet. I have something to announce."
The classroom quieted down for a while.
The teacher glanced around the classroom before slowly saying, "You should have guessed this already. That's right! Starting tomorrow, you will officially begin your magic lessons!"
"What, is this true?!"
