I don't want to be a dragon maid!

What is the most important characteristic of a magician?

A hint of curiosity flickered in Shelley's eyes.

"Mastering details is crucial. In battle, even a seemingly insignificant detail can change the outcome of the battle, or even your life."

Anne's smile held a hint of mystery as she spoke softly.

"Take Miss Shelley for example. The idea of ​​the Ice Bead Lockdown Operation is good, but it is easy to be exploited. You just need to pay attention to the angle."

At this moment, the little red man suddenly moved. He kicked the soap next to him, which in turn pushed the scissors next to him. The scissors rolled to the side, which was exactly where the two ice beads were about to collide again.

Shelley's expression changed; she seemed to want to control the little red figure to dodge, but it was too late.

The two ice beads collided with the scissors and then slammed into the red figure's arms.

The two ice beads were bounced away again, and the little red man was also sent flying, rolling to the ground.

Shelley immediately took a few steps back, clutching her abdomen. Two bloody marks appeared on her slightly yellowish skin, and cold sweat dripped from her forehead onto the floor.

"There are only two minutes left. Miss Shelley, what do you say? Will you give up or continue?"

Anne took out her arms and glanced at them before continuing to ask.

Shelley slowly stood up, wiped the sweat from her face, and a smile appeared on her face that stunned Anne.

"Of course, I'm about to win, why should I admit defeat!"

"ceiling!"

Anne frowned slightly, and heard Margaret exclaim in surprise. She immediately looked in the direction of the sound and saw two ice beads crashing hard into the ceiling inlaid with sunstone.

The ice beads explode randomly, followed by the explosion of the sunstone.

Large fragments of sunstone fell from the ceiling, and below were Anne's little black figures.

“Miss Anne, you said that Sunstone has a suppressive effect on shadow magic.”

Shelley smiled smugly and said softly.

"What would happen to your elemental figures if they came into direct contact with the Sunstone? Hmm?"

Annie tried to control the little black figure, but it was too late; large amounts of powder rained down on Annie and the little black figure.

In an instant, the little black figure melted away, like an ice cream that had come into contact with a blazing fire.

"I see, Miss Shelley. You deliberately took the attack from the ice bead, adjusting the angle of your attack on the Sunstone without me noticing."

Anne's face was slightly pale, but the smile on her face remained unchanged.

"Miss Anne, I won this test!"

Shelley let out an angry shout.

The red figure immediately ran towards the black figure at top speed.

The two little figures were getting closer and closer, and it seemed that Shelley was about to win!

Just as the red figure was about to reach the black figure, several black shadows, like long snakes, lashed out from under the tray and bound the red figure's hands and legs tightly in the blink of an eye.

"what?"

Shelley's expression changed; she looked at the sudden situation with disbelief written all over her face.

"Miss Shelley, you really are beyond my expectations!"

Anne leaned against the bathtub and nodded gently.

"It seems I have to retract my earlier statement. In terms of details, you also possess the skill of a magician!"

"Hey! Annie, didn't you say we couldn't attack?"

Margaret's pale red eyes were filled with astonishment, and she quickly said...

"This is definitely not me attacking; it's the elemental magic I left behind starting to take effect,"

As Annie played with her pink hair, she spoke softly. She then lifted a tray to reveal several neatly trimmed nails, from which long, thin black ropes extended.

"Will this work?"

Margaret gasped, looking at Anne with some displeasure.

"Annie, you didn't break the rules, but you're skirting the line. That's not fair!"

“I know, so I have already lost. Miss Shelley passed Test Three.”

Anne sighed and said softly.

"I passed?"

Shelley pointed to herself and said in disbelief.

“That’s right. The fact that you’ve pushed me to this point means that Miss Shelley is qualified to join the Snow Eagle Magic Academy.”

Anne regained her previous smile and said calmly.

"As for releasing the barrier that bound the red figure, you could say it was just a whim of mine. As a teacher, it would be a blow to my pride to get beaten up by my students again!"

"I understand, but Miss Anne, I still want to earn my own victory!"

Shelley nodded, a gentle smile appearing on her face.

"Ugh?"

Before Anne could react, she saw and heard a wine glass filled with red wine suddenly shatter, and a red arrow of blood instantly pierced the black rope binding the little red figure.

The little red man stood up, then went up and gently patted the little black man.

"I won."

Shelley said calmly.

Chapter Sixty-Eight: Getting Shelley Drunk

"Good heavens, it turns out Miss Shelley also had a backup plan."

Anne's surprise slowly faded as she remembered Shelley's blood splattering on the shop assistant who had entered the room, and she suddenly understood everything.

That's when Shelley's blood got mixed into the red wine.

Anne found herself somewhat ridiculous. She had said that Miss Shelley didn't pay attention to details, but this guy was a detail maniac!

If Shelley really cheated, she would have slapped herself in the face!

When the test was over, Shelley collapsed onto the floor, exhausted, and began to gasp for breath.

Controlling the elemental figures with all her might had exhausted her last bit of magic, but all of this was within her calculations. Shelley had timed everything perfectly, both in terms of timing and magic.

"Thanks for your hard work!"

Anne slowly stood up from the bathhouse and gently placed her hand on Shelley's shoulder.

A beam of black light rose from her palm and slowly entered Shelley's body.

Within a few breaths, Shelley felt her fatigue lessen considerably, and her injuries began to heal.

"Thank you."

Shelley nodded and said softly.

"You're welcome. Although it was just a test, I feel really bad for hurting you like this!"

Anne waved her hand and said with a smile.

"Congratulations on officially becoming one of the prospective students of Snow Eagle Magic Academy. You only need to take the placement exam to enter the program."

"Students of Snow Eagle Magic Academy..."

Shelley said these words softly, a happy expression on her face.

Finally! She has finally taken the first step, becoming a master of magic. She has finally taken that first step.

If Noah were to hear this news, would she be happy...?

Shelley clutched her chest, feeling an urge to tell Noah immediately; she wanted to see Noah's happy face.

"Thank you, Miss Anne."

"You're welcome, you deserve it!"

Anne looked at Shelley, her smile now tinged with worry.

"But Miss Shelley, I don't know if it's a good thing or a bad thing that you've entered Snow Eagle Magic Academy!"

"Miss Anne, what do you mean by that?"

Shelley frowned slightly and asked curiously.

"It's really nothing special, it's just that my sister Alice is also planning to enroll at Shelley Magic Academy, and now you're planning to enroll too..."

Anne's wry smile grew more pronounced as she clutched her temples, looking like she had a headache.

"Miss Alice? So what if she enrolls? What does it have to do with me?"

Shelley breathed a slight sigh of relief and said with a relaxed expression.

"After all, I don't know Miss Alice. Even if I can't be friends with her, I don't need to offend her, right?"

“Miss Shelley, you haven’t offended her, but that girl…”

Anne sighed softly and looked at Shelley. This time, her face was serious, and her previous smile was gone.

"Miss Shelley, can you answer a question for me?"

"What's the problem?"

Shelley became nervous and said softly.

"It's that Noah and... sigh, never mind!"

Anne sighed deeply, went back to the edge of the bathhouse, and submerged her head in the water.

"Noah?"

Shelley said with a bewildered look, a faint sense of unease creeping into her heart.

Meanwhile, Anne, who was soaking in the water, looked annoyed. She really wanted to ask that question. Although it was a bit rude to Shelley, she wanted to ask it for the sake of her family, her sister, and also to have a good relationship with Noah.
