Reborn as a short-lived loli who can only live for three years

Perhaps with enough motivation, Ying really started to study hard again.

Ying Youyou, who usually lay down after finishing her homework, also studied the books on potions with Ivy.

However, studying extra potions every day was a daily routine for Ivy, but it became a torture for Ying Youyou.

Besides, the exam is only in three days, so cramming at the last minute... doesn't make much sense.

"If you want a powerful staff log, I'll help you when I have the chance." Seeing Ying Youyou beginning to feel sleepy while holding the book, Ivy tried to persuade her to lie down and rest. "Besides, this has nothing to do with our mission. You don't need to put in so much energy."

If it is an exam related to the task, the gardener will secretly send the original exam questions over.

Ying shook her head stubbornly again: "It's not because of this."

"why?"

"I just want to be with you. I want to go wherever you go!"

Evie blinked in surprise.

Is this guy secretly in love with her?

"Then it's up to you."

"yeah!"

……

……

But it turns out that the power of love alone is not enough.

On the day the test results were announced, Ying fell to her knees again.

"One, one hundred..."

There were 150 students in the grade, and there was no doubt that she was defeated.

“It’s great.”

"As expected of the world's number one magic academy, everyone is so strong!" Ying pounded the ground again unwillingly.

"I can't be the best in the world..."

When this kid was elected chief, he said that everyone else was fake.

Fortunately, the new recruits are only assessed on their combat capabilities rather than their academic abilities.

"But Avi...are you a genius?"

In the Potions exam, Ivy's name was at the top of the list.

“Hehe.” Ivy put her hands on her hips and said proudly, “I’m serious.”

"Although Avi is usually very good, when he gets serious... well! He's even more powerful." Ying was about to cry again.

……

Not long after the exam rankings came out, the list of those selected to become apprentices in the Potion Garden was also announced.

There were five first-year students selected, including Ivy and Yuru.

They were first led into the potion garden for a tour, while Ying Youyou was stopped outside the door and bid farewell in tears.

Was this kid really that exaggerated? Ivy was confused.

She always felt that their relationship was not that good yet.

In the Potion Garden, senior students gave them a brief tour of the various gardens and introduced their daily responsibilities.

The initial work assigned to them was simple, just watering and caring for some not-so-precious herbs on a daily basis and familiarizing themselves with the growth habits of potions.

They are not allowed to enter the area where the medicinal herbs are too rare.

Ivy was not in a hurry. He was lucky to be able to take the first step successfully.

but……

During the free tour, Yvie paid special attention to the people passing by.

After all, there is only one Potion Garden, and as expected, students from the high school department can be seen here.

Just as Chu Yu said at the beginning, the junior high school and high school departments are located in two campuses, and they cannot enter each other's campuses at will, so they cannot meet each other normally.

It's been at least the third week of school and they haven't found a way to meet properly.

The Potion Garden is a good bridge, but I don’t know if those people in the high school department have this idea.

But there is no need to rush. You will naturally have the opportunity when the club day comes.

"Student Ivy stays here. The others can go back." After the tour, the senior who led the group called her name.

After the others left, the other party made a gesture of invitation: "Teacher Pukulia wants to talk to you, come this way."

There was a round table and a huge parasol in the center of a courtyard. Pukulia was sitting on a chair, concentrating on trimming the branches of flowers on the table, as if he had been waiting for a long time.

Ivy sat down opposite her.

After the student who led the way left, they were the only two left in the courtyard.

Anyone would feel a little nervous to have the opportunity to interact with a serious and mysterious teacher, and Ivy was no exception. She couldn't guess the purpose of calling her over.

"You got first place in the Potions exam this time, that's pretty impressive."

"Thank you."

"But the questions I asked aren't difficult either, so don't be too proud."

"Ah."

"I heard that you got the Pure Devouring Flower in the secret realm of the rank exam. It just so happens that the Pure Devouring Flower sample left in the magic potion garden has withered. Are you willing to help replenish the sample?"

"Ah."

"willing."

The two of them answered without hesitation, with their voices smooth and even, as if they were carrying out a necessary conversation.

Then, Pukulia crossed his fingers, held his chin, and looked at Ivy with interest, with a smile on his face.

Although this was the first time Ivy saw the teacher smile, she felt a chill down her spine.

"Let me ask you," Pukulia asked in a relaxed tone, "Why do you want to enter the potion garden?"

"...Because I like it."

"No one enters the Potion Garden just because they like it. Without exception, everyone who comes here has desires."

……

"So what is your desire?"

Is this an unexpected situation? Since the note mentioned Pukulia's name, it means that this person will be an important helper, so at this moment, she should work hard to win the trust of this teacher.

But trust? How could she possibly tell the truth? Trust... was always relative.

"Let me tell you something about me." Pukulia stretched out his fingertips and condensed a small ball of dark magic.

"I'm a dark magician. Do you know what that means?" Pukulia twisted a strand of hair around her fingertips while observing Ivy. "It means I can see emotions, desires, and lies."

"So I see that you are different from others, your desires are more complicated than others, you don't like potions, and you don't do it for yourself, am I right?"

“…” Ivy’s face was gloomy. She raised her eyes and looked into Pukulia’s eyes.

The latter smiled in surprise: "Not bad, you are finally willing to look me in the face."

"Desire is something that I won't easily tell others, unless you, teacher, exchange it for your own desire."

"Isn't it enough to exchange the magic I revealed?"

"This isn't an exchange, this is a threat." Ivy's eyes were filled with displeasure. "I can also reveal my own magic. I'm an illusionist magician, majoring in fantasy."

Hearing this, Pukulia showed a surprised expression: "Illusion? This is really a rare direction. You should know that the effect of the fantasy system depends entirely on personal talent and imagination. Teaching with rules and regulations will produce irreversible negative effects. Therefore, the illusion magic taught in the academy is the mainstream illusion system. You can't learn anything here, and learning too many different things will interfere with your original imagination."

“…None of your business.” Ivy was touched in a sore spot.

Ye Jiyan, another illusion magician in the orphanage, majored in illusion and had many tricks for using illusions. Originally, Ivy could fight him for a few rounds, but ever since she learned some secrets of illusion out of curiosity, she has never won!
