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

They continued to explore this silver-gray metal world.

The huge gears floating in the air meshed with each other and rotated, with no visible source of kinetic energy; scattered metal pipes were scattered everywhere, with electric currents running through them from time to time, then released into another dimension and disappearing.

The platforms under my feet were becoming more and more separated. Many footholds were only one or two meters apart, and some were even more than five meters apart. The starry abyss below seemed even deeper, as if it could suck people in at any time.

Looking at the hand that Chu Yu extended to her, Ivy supported her and jumped steadily onto the platform below.

"Ah..." She sighed, "Where is the heart of the sage?"

Even though they had moved quite a distance, Ivy had no way of confirming whether they were heading in the right direction.

After walking for so long, the echo of the resonance did not increase or decrease.

It's the same everywhere.

"Can I ask a question?"

Ivy looked up curiously, wondering why Chu Yu was suddenly so polite: "Sure."

Chu Yu hesitated for a while and asked her: "You... know about the future, right?"

"Well... to be precise, I only know some of the things that have been set before graduation from the third grade."

The world was becoming more and more distorted, and the only information her seniors could reveal to her after a week was basically the established matters.

"Then..." Chu Yu asked casually, "Do you know what our final rank is?"

?

Ivy tilted her head in alarm.

"Why do you ask this suddenly?"

"only……"

“Why do you want to know about the future?”

Looking at Ivy's overreaction, Chu Yu silently finished the second half of the sentence: "Just curious, no other reason."

……

Looking at Chu Yu's sincere gaze, Ivy realized that he was making a fuss out of nothing.

I just want to know the rank, nothing special.

"Whose do you want to know first?" After careful consideration, Ivy asked her carefully.

"Manno's."

"Manye is still [Level 6]."

This is something that can be guessed. It is absolutely impossible to advance from [Level 6] to [Level 7] in just two years.

"It takes a long time to advance to the [Seventh Level]." Chu Yu also understood this, "But Wan Ye became a [Sixth Level] magician this year. Her talent... can definitely take her to a higher position."

"Well, I also believe that she will become even more powerful in the future."

"Where's Ye Jiyan?"

“He is… also [Level 6], and was promoted when he reached Grade 3.” Ivy was a little depressed.

It is undeniable that Ye Jiyan's magical talent is also very high. Although he was promoted to the [Sixth Level] later than Wan Ye Xi, there are very few geniuses who can be promoted to the [Sixth Level] in high school. At least in this magic academy, they can be counted on one hand.

But... judging from the fact that he displayed such a powerful illusion ability without using the magic amplification ring, he may have actually been promoted to [Level 6] earlier. He may have concealed his strength in the subsequent rank test.

"What about you?"

"I was promoted to [Level 5] in my third year."

"You really are very talented..." Chu Yu's eyes were filled with admiration, "If you were promoted to the high school department, you would definitely be able to advance to the [Sixth Level] very early."

"Maybe... I don't know."

This is the limit she knows and the limit she can reach.

Perhaps her talent could allow her to grow into someone more powerful than Wan Ye Xi, but she doesn't seem to have that much time.

"I should... still be [Level 5], right?" Chu Yu finally asked himself.

Ivy nodded hesitantly: "Yes..."

She sensed something was wrong in the atmosphere, so she added, "But you've been getting stronger. There won't be a rank test after graduation, but maybe..."

"Thank you for telling me." Chu Yu interrupted her and smiled softly, "Maybe I can get a promotion in the future. My curiosity is satisfied."

Ivy tilted her head, feeling something was odd. For a moment, Chu Yu looked at her with a little more envy.

“Why don’t you ask Shi Zhimeng?” Ivy asked, and then gave the answer directly, “She was also [Level 5] in the end.”

"She?"

The first rain was a bit unexpected.

“She is obviously a talented person.”

Ivy guessed, "Maybe all her efforts went into manufacturing."

……

……

As they continued to move forward, the platform under their feet gradually rose up, and the platform foothold along with various strange mechanical parts floated in the air. The further they looked forward, the higher they floated, like a difficult and bumpy road to heaven.

From time to time, some mechanical birds flew by, flapping their metal wings and emitting cold blue light like electric current. They sometimes approached the two people and sometimes fled away, with no sign of their intention to attack.

Chu Yu jumped onto the high platform, then reached down and pulled Ivy up.

"Has the echo of the resonance changed?" Chu Yu asked.

Ivy thanked him and felt it with all his heart.

"It seems like it has, but it also seems like it hasn't." She shook her head, looking a little distressed. "I can't feel whether it has gotten stronger or weaker. If I have to say... it feels like the frequency has changed?"

Seeing Ivy racking her brains, Chu Yu chuckled and told her the good news. "I have discovered a change. Do you want to hear it?"

“Really? I want to hear it!” Ivy’s eyes lit up, and he immediately waited for what was to come in anticipation.

Chu Yu did not keep the secret and said directly: "I can sense the information contained in the shadows a little bit, but there are too many shadows below and they are too complicated. I can only sense a large mass of information and cannot distinguish them in detail."

"Uh-huh."

"But we are now at a higher altitude, and the shadows are not as complicated as before. I can make out some of the information in them."

“So you figured out…”

Chu Yu nodded: "I felt a very special energy, a type I have never come into contact with before. I suspect that it might be the heart of a sage."

"Can you lock its location?" Ivy asked expectantly.

Chu Yu pointed in a direction: "It may be the information spreading from over there, I can't distinguish it clearly enough."

"Then let's go to higher ground and slowly move in that direction."

Evie was very happy.

Chu Yu's unexpected gain was undoubtedly a huge breakthrough. They could finally stop wandering around like headless flies.

The two of them quickened their pace. They stood on a taller, narrow pipe, looking for the next more suitable foothold.

Perhaps the person who finally finds the heart of a sage will still be Chu Yu.

This may already be a given.
