"Ahem, why are you guys late?" After an awkward silence, Monroe finally spoke, "The use of space magic is strictly prohibited in the academy. I hope you can give me a reasonable explanation."

This was said to Celiac, because in Monroe's mind, only Celiac, a princess from the mermaid tribe, could have magical equipment related to space magic.

Celcia blinked, and performed the mermaid etiquette towards Monroe, with a cold tone: "I'm very sorry, Mr. Principal, classmate Linnai and I heard classmate Selena's cry for help on the way to the ceremony. In order to I had to use a magic tool to save her, which also delayed my time."

Monroe frowned: "Save her?"

This time, before Celiac could speak, Selina on the side took a step forward, bowed slightly and took over the conversation: "Your Excellency, principal, I am Selina Cumberland, a second-year student. This morning, the door to my dormitory opened. The protective magic I set was triggered by someone, causing me to be trapped inside. It was Celcia and Linnai who passed by and rescued me, but their time was also wasted."

Although they were already late when Linnaeus and Celia passed by, Selina still consciously took the responsibility on herself.

Monroe nodded: "I understand. I will send people to verify it. If it is true, the troublemaker will be found."

The protection magic cannot be triggered casually. It is basically certain that someone wants to harm Selina.

Although the two branches of Cumberland and East Cumberland seem to be inseparable and even vaguely hostile, at least they are still a family on the surface, not to mention that Selina and Vivian live in the same dormitory, so Monroe naturally attaches great importance to them.

"Okay, you go down first." After Monroe gave a brief explanation, he motioned to the three students to go down quickly. After all, today is the opening ceremony, and we can't delay it for such a trivial matter.

The three of them saluted Monroe and then walked to the students below.

Selena walked to Vivian and showed a bright smile to Vivian: "Good morning, I'm so sorry, I'm late."

In front of Linnai, Celia and so many people, Selina did not say anything clearly.

But she knew very well in her heart that the person who triggered the protective magic and locked her in the dormitory was her, a weak and kind girl.

She originally went to school well in the Western Continent, but the elders in the family suddenly decided to send her to the Central Continent to go to school in St. Lean with her brother Lucas.

It didn't matter, she packed her things and went to find Lucas, and stayed with him on Cumberland East Branch for the first time.

The person in charge of welcoming her was Vivian. She was fine for the first few days, but then one day after dinner, Vivian suddenly took her for a walk and asked her sideways during the walk if her family had given her anything. treasure.

Selena is an honest girl. When she left home, her family was worried about her and Lucas, so they did stuff her with a lot of treasures. Her father also handed her a very simple box and gave her two handfuls. As for the key, give one to Lucas when the time comes, and they can open it together when the brother and sister are in trouble.

So when Vivian asked, Selena readily nodded and admitted, but she was careful not to reveal what the treasure was.

Because she doesn't know either.

"Anyway, I also bought a lot of good things at the auction, such as robes with high defense." At that time, Selina didn't realize what her words would bring to herself, and she was still chatting casually, "After all, I Your talent is not very good, so it’s better to be obedient and add some defense to save your life.”

Then her nightmare began.

First, she fell into the water inexplicably when she went back at night. If she hadn't received the blessing from the mermaid king when she was young, she could stay underwater for a long time and she would have drowned.

When she struggled to break free from the water plants tangled around her feet and crawled out of the water, gasping for breath on the shore, she accidentally saw the pink hem flashing in the shadows.

What happened next was even more outrageous. Vivian kept pestering her all day long, crying to her from time to time, vaguely expressing that she was not valued, poor, and so on.

"I really envy you, sister. The elders in the family have given you so many treasures, unlike me..." Every time she said this, Vivian showed a sad expression, and after a long silence, she abruptly changed the subject.

Selena was not a fool after all, so she just followed Vivian's conversation and changed the topic without comforting her.

Just kidding, the West Branch of Cumberland is the poor one, the East Branch is rich, right?

Moreover, Vivian's father is the head of the East Branch. He only has one daughter, Vivian. Vivian is also extremely talented. Not to say that all the resources are thrown at her, at least there is definitely no shortage of resources.

After several conversations, Vivian found that Selena was ignoring her and gradually stopped talking to her.

Selena thought she was clean, but...

Thinking of her tragic experience this summer, the smile on Selena's face became slightly colder.

"I hope the school will find out the results soon. I really want to know who hates me so much that they would give me such a big gift as soon as school started." Selina deliberately emphasized the last few words, which was quite strange.

Vivian's face looked unhappy and she forced a smile: "Yeah, it's great that you can come. It would be a shame if you miss the ceremony."

No wonder!

Several masters above have already found their favorite students, all of whom were outstanding figures in all aspects in the first grade.

The crowd became slightly restless, and Vivian looked at the silent Alessio above. He was sitting in the center of the magister's seat, bathed in light, which made his delicate face look more divine.

Vivian was a little fascinated, but the other party's eyes never fell on her. Vivian bit her lip and looked at Selena next to her calmly.

"Speaking of which, is my sister okay?" Vivian was still a little flustered, and began to test Selina who was standing aside, "But my sister should be wearing a defensive robe. Come to think of it..."

Selina pretended not to hear Vivian's words, turned around and left.

Vivian:......

That's it again.

Vivian took a deep breath and suddenly found that the crowd started to commotion again.

Alessio, who was sitting upright at the top, suddenly stood up and walked toward the student square below.

He moved forward without looking away, in the exact direction where Vivian was.

The surrounding students automatically made way for the high priest, and the high priest just walked forward until he stopped in front of Vivian.

Vivian's heart was finally relieved. She raised her head, looked at Alessio who was coming against the light, held up the hem of her skirt and performed a standard curtsy.

"I……"
