Can the sadness that magic cannot take away be offset by love?

When Ethelia finally finished eating a whole bowl of rice, Olivia asked her if she was still hungry. Ethelia kept blinking at her, and Levin, who had put on a new set of clothes, said:

"You've already eaten two chicken legs, half a plate of eggplant, half a plate of ribs, and drank two bowls of soup. You shouldn't be hungry, right?"

Aecilia didn't say anything, she buried herself in Olivia's arms and rubbed them again. Olivia herself hadn't eaten much, so Ernest reheated the food and waited with Levin for her to finish it first.

It was already dark at this time. After Olivia put down the tableware, she found that Aecilia's eyelids were opening and closing with difficulty while lying in her arms. Everyone calmed down in a tacit understanding, and she didn't open her eyes again. After opening, they asked the waiter to clear the table, leaving only some simple refreshments and fruits.

Levin held a fruit platter specially reserved for him and silently squeezed into the corner and wall.

It's time to start.

Ernest and Olivia looked at each other. The former leaned on the cushion behind him, while the latter sat upright and stroked Ethelia's hair.

"You should know that there is no way you can force her to inject that medicine again."

Olivia's eyes were cold.

Ernest's eyes were still as calm as the surface of a lake without waves:

"That's not the worst possible outcome for her, is it?"

……

Aecilia had an uneasy sleep. The dream made her relive the nightmare that had happened in reality. When she woke up, she was startled into a cold sweat and her hands and feet were cold.

Her heart was beating wildly, and she closed her eyes. The memories before she fell asleep were slowly sorted out in order. When she regained her composure and looked up out the window, she could only see the darkness of the night.

She slowly sat up, rubbed her eyes, and looked around.

She was sent back to her dormitory in the academy, and it seemed that they had compromised with each other for the time being.

After turning on a night light, she found that Angelia was not in the dormitory, but she still walked into the bathroom cautiously and washed her eyes with water.

She took out a bottle of red magic potion from the space necklace. She used a special tool to put two drops of the potion into her eyes, blinked, packed it up and left the bathroom.

"Potion name: Crying Mask

Effect: Control and stop the flow of tears at any time.

Preparation materials:..."

Thanks to Ernest's lunacy, without him, the tears she could squeeze out with the little potion she dropped beforehand would not be enough. Fortunately, he had the ability to force her to shed sincere tears with true feelings...

Thinking of those black and red gloves, she shuddered and decided to think of other things first.

For example, how to repay senior Olivia to make up for her lack of maternal love...

The rising sun filled the ground with sunlight.

An unfortunate day is about to begin again.

After Aecilia got up, she found that she was still the only one in the dormitory. It was already past the first class time. When she opened the smart network, she found several unread messages.

[There is no greater sadness than heartbreak]: "Sister, you can come to me often."

[Blue-haired Idiot]: "I asked for leave for you. You should have a good rest."

[Meeting someone who has been unlucky for eight lifetimes]: "Tell me after you have rested, and then you can start training."

[Good Rabbit Bad Rabbit]: "Ecilia, I have recovered my health and can go to class normally. If you need anything, you can come to me."

Aecilia rubbed her brows painfully.

A bunch of lunatics! They are all lunatics!

She screamed in her heart, didn't reply to the last message, and went out to find food.

"Mei, do you want to eat tomato scrambled eggs?"

The cafeteria aunt who spoke the local dialect of Kaka asked with a smile.

She glanced at the slightly burnt tomato scrambled eggs behind the window.

Blood red... black...

She forcibly stopped the scream that surged into her throat. She walked away from the window with a pale face without saying a word.

Neurosis… neurosis…

There are very few windows open in this cafeteria during school hours, only that one. She looked around but couldn't find any other windows, so she ran to the bushes next to the entrance of the cafeteria and sat down with her knees in her arms, curling up into the shade of green leaves.

Her heart beat disobediently and she found that her arms and body were shaking.

In the dim and narrow environment under the trees, Aecilia didn't know how long it took before she calmed down.

Lucius gave her a whole day's leave, and she could go to the dean's office while she was free.

Looking at the tall door in front of her, she raised her hand to knock, but her hand froze in mid-air. She slowly put down her hands and took a deep breath...

"what?"

A palm touched her shoulder, and she jumped up, her heart almost beating out of her chest.

She turned around, still breathing rapidly, and looked up to see a classmate wearing a student union badge.

Student Union...

She closed her eyes and collapsed.

"Huh??? That's a big deal!!!"

Seeing her pale lips and face, classmate A, a passerby, realized something was wrong and hurriedly took out a candy from her body:

"You, you, please don't faint first. Are you hypoglycemic??! I'm just here to hand over some information. Don't, don't, don't scare me!!!"

College therapy room.

Aecilia opened her eyes and looked confusedly at Professor Albinia who was sitting in front of the hospital bed reading a newspaper.

Albinia closed the newspaper, her pale blond hair falling obediently behind her shoulders and on her chest.

"Classmate Aecilia, I saw the news about your leave, and I thought I wouldn't have a chance to see you this morning."

Aecilia reluctantly twitched her lips:

"Professor, this shows that we are destined..."

She wanted to sit up when she suddenly noticed something. She looked up and saw an infusion tube tied to her arm, connected to a bottle of nutrient solution hanging beside the hospital bed.

Her hands softened and she lay back again.

Albinia slapped her on the face and woke her up.

"You fainted at the door of the dean's office. A classmate from the student union sent you here. Do you have anything to do with the dean? The dean and the vice dean are not in the college now."

Aecilia was shocked by the news even though she didn't wake up after being photographed.

"Where did they go? When will they come back?"

Albinia thought for a moment and said:

"I went to the Mage Tower for a meeting. It seemed that we were talking about the exchange competition... I think I should be able to come back before the end of this semester, right?"

Aecilia's eyes were dull when she received the bad news.

Albinia pinched her face.

"What's wrong with you? Ecilia. You don't seem to be in good condition lately."

The gentle and slightly hoarse voice seemed to bring her consciousness into the tranquil and carefree vast wilderness. She hesitated again and again, and finally said:

"Maybe it's because of too much pressure. If you rest, you'll be fine."

She chose to hide it from Professor Albinia. Rationally speaking, she and Albinia are not familiar with each other in nature, and it is unclear whether there is any family behind her. Emotionally speaking, she did not want the professor to be involved in this matter.
