Magic High School, the exam hall for the monthly exam.

When Li Ge woke up again, she felt as if she had been in another world.

However, when he looked at his friends, they all had the same feeling.

Exam results have been released, and the rankings have been updated.

Li Ge silently looked at the ranking list displayed on his watch, still feeling somewhat dazed.

Finally, he understood that the silent beast was not himself, but rather the "subconscious" that influenced them every moment in this world. This subconscious was not theirs, but the true thoughts of these children persecuted by the heretical religion...

When Li Ge and his group can no longer suppress the child in their hearts, that will be the time for them to successfully complete their mission and truly redeem this family of children.

This is the redemption that the monthly exam task offers to all of "me"...

At this moment, Li Ge may have understood a lot.

Every exam at school is a purification and a lesson for them, a guide for their path.

At Chernobyl, the school's message is to teach them unity, the importance of unwavering enthusiasm, the ability to be friends with people from all over the world, and the courage and awareness to sacrifice themselves to save others.

This monthly exam seems to be trying to convey to them their understanding of "redemption" and "salvation," and their hopes for the future...

After a while, the others gradually came back to their senses from their realization and daze.

"Oh, okay, okay, my head doesn't hurt anymore, my head is all better!" Valerie's sudden loud voice brought everyone back to their senses.

"How long has it been?" Li Ge even asked, when he looked at his watch and found that only 4 hours had passed.

Five days have already passed since the monthly exam.

What kind of cutting-edge technology does this school have?

Neither Xiaoye nor Valerie spoke; they seemed to be savoring something. When Li Ge looked at them, they seemed to suddenly turn their heads as if by telepathy and exchange a smile.

After a short rest, the group left the examination room. Among the other students around them, some were overjoyed, some looked as if they had lost their parents, and some sighed in despair.

The four of them didn't look at the list; they just exchanged glances in tacit agreement.

Valerie rubbed her reddened eyes, Yilian stretched, and Xiaoye elbowed Lige in the waist.

"Want to grab a meal together?"

"Um."

"Okay, okay."

"I'm going to buy some meat."

"Hot pot again?" Li Ge asked.

"Hot pot! Hot pot!" Valerie exclaimed excitedly; she had been craving the food from Li Ge's courtyard for a long time.

"I'm okay with that too."

"Hmm..." Xiaoye didn't speak directly, but nodded. She turned her head, as if to ask Li Ge, "Brother... Li Ge?"

She was suddenly stunned, and for a moment she even had a very strange feeling.

"Hmm?" Li Ge turned her head slightly and looked at the girl, who seemed to be wearing a mask, with a hint of doubt.

Did you hear any strange noises just now?

"No, it's nothing. What's done is done. Let's eat first," she said, seemingly expressionless.

"Oh." The group walked towards the blue dormitory.

The school's freshman monthly exam results have been released. Although Li Ge did not get a perfect score, her 99 points still put her at the top of the list, and most of the other students were also in the top ten.

This time, their monthly exam results were exceptionally good, but they didn't even care about the rankings anymore.

They just wanted to have a big meal and then get a good night's sleep to relieve the fatigue and emotions of this period.

Goodnight was still the familiar hot pot, but this time the plants in the yard suffered. Peas, cabbages, and corn were all picked, and a few watermelons were also picked as dessert.

Yilian also bought a lot of meat, as well as a case of beer.

It's said to be a moonlit brew from the dwarves, a top-notch product. It's not very strong, but it's intoxicating, leaving you feeling dizzy but not brain-damaged.

The group indulged in a feast at Li Ge's dormitory, drinking and eating to their hearts' content while enjoying the dwarfs' wine, turning all the fatigue and hardship of the journey into a hearty appetite.

"Hiccup... Take care, how was the service today, sir?" Li Ge waved goodbye to Xiao Ye and Valerie.

Valerie was completely drunk, drooling as she was supported by Yoru.

"So-so," Xiaoye replied, seemingly still quite lucid.

"Tsk, next time I'll get you drunk at dinner and rip your mask off!" Li Ge complained, closing the door and swaying as she lay down on the bed.

Sweet dreams...

Tomorrow he will still be that top student in the Noble Phantasm Department.

……

The next morning, Li Ge felt refreshed and invigorated.

Dwarven smuggled wine is indeed something special; it's intoxicating without being mind-numbing, and you get drunk easily, but it doesn't have any lingering effects.

Waking up the next day felt like leaving all the fatigue behind.

Although she still smelled of alcohol, Li Ge went straight into the shower room and began a thorough cleaning.

Even the bathrooms in Lan's dormitory are private, which is something that Xiaoye and the others envy.

However, while washing up, Li Ge suddenly realized that something seemed wrong with her eyes.

Why is it that there seems to be more than one lion in my pupils?

Li Ge immediately brought his pupils closer to look, and sure enough, his pupils had changed; now there were actually two lions hidden inside!

Li Ge was immediately alarmed and hurriedly ignored the ugly lion to find another hidden lion. Sure enough, hidden in his pupils, he found a... showy lion.

Good news: Even though Lion's Eye is not his own Noble Phantasm, but merely an additional ability, it can still evolve.

The bad news is that instead of hiding one lion, they've now hidden two.

Why is that lion in the ditch hiding in my pupils?!

No, so will the next evolution result in three lions? And who is the third lion? The brooding lion?

Li Ge immediately opened the system, and sure enough, even the system implanted by the academy had changed.

[Noble Phantasm (Lion's Eye C++): An information-type Noble Phantasm that allows the user to see through others' labels and information, and to distinguish souls and spirits invisible to the naked eye. It also enhances vision, granting the user a certain degree of ability to see through illusions and obstructions of vision. This Noble Phantasm is gradually evolving into a true Noble Phantasm.]

Whether it was the rating being upgraded from C+ to C++, the ability to see the soul entity, or the reminder that his Noble Phantasm had begun to change, Li Ge was actually a little confused.

Isn't the Lion's Eye a permanent "comedic ability" given by the Fool's Mask?

This thing can evolve too?

Although the changes are minor, merely the ability to see spirits, they have a completely different meaning for Li Ge.

If Lion's Eye evolves into a true Noble Phantasm, wouldn't I then have two Noble Phantasms?

Looking at the newly added, flamboyant lion in her pupils, Li Ge covered her eyes and laughed.

"Hehehe, hahahaha!"

A maniacal laugh, sounding like that of the Uchiha clan, emanated from the toilet, seemingly penetrating the entire dormitory.

"You will never escape these eyes, Amaterasu!"

"Stop acting crazy here!" Yilian's voice came from the other side of the wall.

"Yilian, I'm the captain!"

"Bang!"
