Liana looked at the door. After a short while, it opened with a knock. “Princess Mephilia, are you inside?”

It was Sephirena’s voice.

“Come in,” Mephilia said.

Sephirena pushed open the door, took off her shoes at the entrance, and saw Liana when she walked into the classroom.

“Princess Liana, you’re back?”

“Mm, are you used to the Ibett Magic Academy yet?” Liana asked.

“The academy has a residence specially designed for elves. It’s not much different from the Elf Forest,” Sephirena nodded. “Not to mention, I’ve already lived in the human world for so long. I’m naturally very used to it.”

“That’s good.” Liana nodded, then had her take out the holy sword.

A dim blade appeared in her hand. Its color was not much different from before.

A few short days were not enough to repair it.

“Have you seen Headmaster Ibett?” Liana asked.

“Yes, we’ve exchanged greetings. I didn’t expect the headmaster of the famous Ibett Magic Academy in the human world to actually be an elf, and an elf who has existed since ancient times at that,” Sephirena said.

“Do you know him? Since he’s an elf who has survived since ancient times, there must be some records of him in the Elf Forest, right?” Liana asked with some curiosity.

An elf of this level, one who had participated in the demon war, it was impossible that there were no records, right?

But Sephirena showed a somewhat troubled expression.

“If you can’t say, then forget it. After all, it’s a matter of your people. It’s not good for me to know too much,” Liana said very considerately.

What Liana mainly wanted to know was one thing, was Headmaster Ibett a real existence? What was his status in the Elf Forest? If Sephirena knew these things but didn’t say them, then there probably wasn’t a big problem.

Sephirena also knew the seriousness of the matter now. Not to mention, this matter also concerned the Tree of Life. If there was anything abnormal, she would say it.

“No, Your Highness. There is nothing to hide between us anymore,” Sephirena said very seriously.

“...” Can you not put our relationship in such an ambiguous way? Liana was one hundred percent sure that she and Sephirena were not in that kind of relationship.

She could already feel Mephilia’s murderous gaze. And there was more than her. Loraviel was also looking at her at this time.

“What do you mean, there’s nothing to hide between us...” Liana said, a little embarrassed.

“Because this matter is very important.”

Then can you not use such a strange way of saying it!

“What’s wrong? Isn’t it because it’s not convenient to say?” Liana asked.

“That’s not it,” Sephirena shook her head.

“Then what is the situation?” Liana had a bad premonition. Could it really be what she was thinking?

“The feeling Headmaster Ibett gives me is a bit strange,” Sephirena said.

“Strange?” Could it really be like that?

Then he could be said to hold the lives of everyone in the Ibett Magic Academy in his hands. If he wanted someone to die, he would just trap them in the illusion and then adjust the difficulty of the demons.

“Mm. At first, I couldn’t tell who he was at all, nor did I remember such an elf. But after a while, I seemed to have received some help and could suddenly see him clearly, and also recognized who he was,” Sephirena said.

This greatly increased his suspicion. Liana guessed that the thing that had helped Sephirena was most likely the holy sword.

“Then who is he?” Liana asked.

“Vikana. And in the history of the elves, there have indeed been records of a Vikana.”

“Vikana?”

“Mm.”

“What about him?”

“But according to the records, he disappeared after the demon war and has never appeared since,” Sephirena said.

“Disappeared?”

This made Liana fall into deep thought. Is there really a problem?

“Yes, Vikana was once a candidate for the throne and was highly anticipated. He was the most likely elf to become the Elf King. But before it was confirmed, the demon war began. And as a candidate for the throne, his performance in the war was extremely brilliant. He killed many demons.

“But his power was ultimately limited. In one battle, all information about him was completely lost. Although we tried very hard to find him after the war, we still couldn’t find any clues about him. Until now, I may be the only elf who knows he is still alive,” Sephirena said.

“I see.” Liana bit her lip.

To suddenly disappear and then reappear, there were many possibilities, but the most likely ones were only two.

One was that he had received some mission to become the headmaster of the Ibett Magic Academy, to hide his identity and survive by some special means in order to deal with the future revival of the demonkind.

Elves were very long-lived, but definitely not to this extent. Without relying on some special means, they simply couldn’t have lived to this time. Not to mention, he had also fought with the demon race several times.

And the other guess was not so good for this world.

That is, Vikana was now a demon. Everything he was doing now was for the demon race.

“Then what about the holy sword? Did you show it to him?” Liana asked.

“No.”

Only then did Liana breathe a slight sigh of relief. It was a good thing she hadn’t. If he really were on the side of the demon race, and he directly destroyed the sword and then teamed up with Princess Nimeris to bite back, then the situation would be completely reversed.

“Without your permission, Your Highness, it is impossible for me to show the holy sword to others. Besides, without you here, I cannot use it either,” Sephirena said.

“Hm?”

“I once tried to use it when you were not around, but unfortunately, it would not obey my words. Today, it was probably because you were by my side that I was able to take it out,” she said.

“So that’s how it is?” Liana hadn’t expected that the holy sword could not be used without her. It seemed that in the future, she would have to stay by Sephirena’s side at all times...

Although, Liana had already been prepared for this from the beginning.

“Do you think there’s anything strange, Your Highness?” Sephirena asked.

“There are some strange points. It’s better to be a little more careful. Don’t take out the holy sword casually.” Liana did not have enough evidence to be sure of this. If she were to make any strange moves now, it might attract the other party’s attention.

“Of course. Without your command, I would absolutely not take out the holy sword,” Sephirena said.

Liana nodded. It was a good thing she was also a little vigilant.

“Then did he ask you to take out the holy sword for a look?” Liana asked.

“He did.”

This was also normal. After all, who wouldn’t want to see the legendary holy sword?

“Regarding the matter of the demon simulation, you should have also explained it clearly, right?” Right now, Sephirena was also a very important character. If he really had the worst intentions, he would surely find a way to deal with her, and the simulation was the best way.

“Yes, I have already explained it clearly to Vikana. He also expressed his understanding. As long as I don’t take the initiative to bring it up, he will not let me enter the demon trials,” Sephirena said.

“That’s right.” At this time, Mephilia also spoke up. “Regarding the matter of the trials, the Ibett Magic Academy has also made some changes.”

“What changes?” Liana looked at Mephilia.

“It will no longer be like before, where you are suddenly put into the illusion. Instead, you have to sign up yourself and take the initiative to improve. Because a meaningless death will only weaken our combat strength, won’t it?” Mephilia said.

“Not... bad.” Liana bit her lip.

Mephilia and Loraviel could tell at a glance that what she was thinking was surely not as simple as what she was saying.

“In any case, just take it slow. As for time, there’s still quite a bit, enough for us to prepare properly.” Liana thought for a moment. The current time, in the original story, was not yet the start of the main storyline.

Although now, before the main story had even begun, the matter of the demon race had already become very troublesome.

“Mm. I will pay more attention to this ~Nоvеl𝕚ght~ matter,” Sephirena nodded.

“You came to find Mephilia today, so you should have something to talk about, right?” Liana had not forgotten this.

It was just a coincidence that Sephirena had run into her. She didn’t know she would be back today.

“Yes, that’s right. It’s about some things related to the holy sword.”

“Oh?” This piqued Liana’s interest.

“The holy sword told me what it needs.”

Finally, some good news. “What does it want?”

“A magic core from an executor-level wolf demon,” Sephirena said.

“...It really knows how to cause trouble.”

An executor wolf was simple. An executor magic core, Liana could also think of a way.

An executor wolf demon magic core, where was she supposed to find that?

Did she have to catch a demon and throw it to an executor-level wolf to let it possess it?

Liana felt a headache just thinking about it.

Sephirena, however, shook her head. “I know where an executor demon wolf is.”

“Huh? There really is one?” Has it become that serious already?

“This is a guidance from the holy sword. Perhaps its real purpose is not the magic core, but to deal with a hidden danger in this world?” Sephirena said.

“That’s not without reason. Where is this demon wolf?” Liana asked quickly.

“In the Laurent Territory.”
