After the concert incident, Adele returned to her usual life.

Living alone, occasionally playing with her cat at night, with a sometimes-present, sometimes-absent angel taking care of the housework.

As for her relationship with her “wings,” because everyone was preparing for the final exams this semester, the time they spent together and went on dates decreased significantly.

Even if Adele was feeling lonely, she had to face this reality.

Although she wasn’t quite used to it at first, missing the usual company of her girls, Adele gradually learned to enjoy the days when she couldn’t see them whenever she wanted, embracing the sense of distance.

As the saying went, “Distance makes the heart grow fonder,” and this would probably be proven true in the near future when they reunited.

Friday, in the library’s study room.

 

Adele was drowsy under the comfortable air conditioning, the materials and textbooks in front of her seemed like some kind of energy-draining monster, always making her sleepy whenever she looked at them.

Since Senior Li Lige left Dongdu, Adele had never been to the library again, today was an exception.

Because she happened to run into Sharon, who was going to the library to study. As Adele’s senior, but Dorothy and Hermione’s junior, her final exams were also approaching.

Generally speaking, it wasn’t that Sequence Ones didn’t value the final exams held by the human academy.

It was just that their status allowed them to get excellent grades without facing much competitive pressure.

Of course, as long as they put in a little effort, they could also get excellent grades.

Talent was more important than effort, and choices were more important than talent.

 

Sharon had always been a good student, so she valued the final exams more than others.

Dorothy and Hermione didn’t care much, but this year was an exception. Perhaps they felt that Adele might like hardworking girls, so they all started to work hard.

It made the third-year students at Cromwell Academy panic.

At this point, someone might ask, why were Dorothy and Hermione, who were already at the top of the academy, still working so hard?

The difference between the two was just being first or second place, no matter how hard they worked, it was just a matter of first becoming second, and second becoming first.

What did this have to do with the other students?

But in reality, the vampire students who ranked behind Hermione and Dorothy thought, even Dorothy and Hermione were starting to work hard, could it be that they used their connections to learn about some kind of huge reward for this final exam, a reward that even they couldn’t resist?

 

Rumors spread faster than clarifications.

Soon, the entire third-year class at Cromwell Academy was in a frenzy of studying.

When someone suggested to the principal that they should clarify the rumors, Winona gave her a confused look.

Why clarify?

This was a good situation, everyone was working hard, it was much better than before when some were very diligent and some were slacking off.

And with better grades on paper, the academy could get more resources from the officials next year, why not?

Therefore, she said,

 

“Let it be, it’s a good thing that the students are motivated.”

“But we can appropriately give higher credits as rewards to the top performers in the first-year final exams.”

“You’re in charge of this, post an announcement on the academy’s official website.”

Principal Winona’s secretary nodded in agreement, left her office with a knowing smile.

Obviously, the secretary understood Winona’s meaning as releasing a smokescreen, combining truth and falsehood, not clarifying the rumors, but instead making the third-year students believe the rumors even more.

Because it was officially announced that there would be increased credit rewards for the first-year final exams.

The rewards for the third-year would only be greater and more generous!

 

For a time, the entire academy was swept up in a wave of involution.

But in reality…

What Winona really wanted was to motivate a certain first-year student to study a little harder. She was annoyed by Adele’s laziness.

After all, Adele was First Snow’s… girlfriend.

Sigh, she couldn’t deceive herself anymore, she could only address Adele as such.

First Snow had already fallen for Adele, what else could Winona do?

So she could only use various methods to guide and train this playful girl, making her understand her responsibilities sooner.

 

At this moment, Winona felt like she was watching her daughter being taken away by a “pig.”

And she still had to urge this piggy girl to work harder.

If Adele dared to make First Snow sad, she would be “dead”!

………………

Unfortunately, Adele didn’t care at all about whether the rewards for the final exams were doubled or not.

She arrived at the library and quickly fell asleep on the table, taking a lazy nap.

She tried, but she didn’t fully try.

 

Beside her, Sharon, dressed beautifully and innocently, was reading the books in front of her seriously with a proper posture.

She was almost finished with one book when she turned to look and found that Adele had only read about two or three pages. Moreover, the girl was lying on the table, her upper lip slightly raised, holding a pen between her nose and lips.

It was a completely meaningless action, but Adele seemed to be enjoying it.

Sharon chuckled, finding Adele’s naive behavior cute.

Adele noticed the girl’s laughter and instantly lost her composure. The pen fell from her lips, her cheeks flushing red.

“Because Sharon ignored me, because I was lonely, so I…”

So she did this seemingly meaningless but actually enjoyable thing.

 

“Anyway, it’s Sharon’s fault, so you have to make it up to me!”

Adele was still as unreasonable as ever.

She moved towards Sharon and hugged her slender waist.

Sharon looked a little surprised, but soon, a smile appeared on her face, and she said in her usual soft voice, the gentle and soft voice she reserved for Adele,

“…Okay, I’ll make it up to you, Adele.”

“D-do you need me to do anything?”

Sharon’s reaction, a mixture of embarrassment and anticipation, had completely become Adele’s shape.

 

Adele felt a surge of pride in her heart, as sweet as honey.

Indeed, turning an enemy into a wife was the best feeling.

Although in the original novel, Sharon might not have been an enemy from the beginning, but “Adele” didn’t know that, and Sharon, as Dorothy’s follower, had never been able to awaken her own consciousness.

But overall, the current Adele had successfully turned many potential tragedies in the future into romantic comedies.

Now that she thought about it, the villainous girls in the original novel, Dorothy, Hermione, Sharon, Edith… they were all no longer a threat to Adele.

Adele had conquered them with her charm (shh).

At least for now, it was like this.

 

But in the future, whether Adele could maintain this delicate balance remained unknown.

As for the other villainous girls, Adele thought for a moment.

It seemed that the only ones left were the black and white twins, Amaterasu Kuro and Tsukimi Shiro, those two delinquent girls.

But she didn’t know when their sanatorium trip would end, or if it had already ended?

Adele hadn’t paid attention to this matter, but she guessed that they should return to the academy before the final exams next week.

This made Adele wonder if she should avoid them for a while.

Or take her wives and beat them up again.

 

As the saying went, “Strike first to avoid being struck a hundred times.”

With Adele’s vindictive personality, there was no doubt that it would be the latter.

She wasn’t afraid of them now!

In terms of strength, she was probably on par with Celeste, who was a Sequence Two, and in terms of influence~

Adele: Amaterasu Kuro, Tsukimi Shiro, are you good at fighting? What’s the use of being good at fighting? In this world, it’s all about connections and background, which gang are you from?

The twins: (About to speak)

Adele: Oh, it’s the Twin Punches!

 

It was like a quiz show, whoever answered first won.

In short, the current Adele couldn’t wait to see the black and white twins.

Dorothy and Hermione alone were already enough for them to handle, let alone with First Snow and Winona backing her up.

Sharon saw Adele hugging her waist and chuckling evilly.

The girl tilted her head, looking confused.

But if it was Adele, she was used to it.

Adele was just such a strange and adorable girl.

 

Soon, Adele returned to reality from her fantasy of beating up the twins and met Sharon’s indulgent gaze.

Under this gentle gaze, Adele often felt like she could be forgiven for anything she did.

So, it was all Sharon’s fault that she had become so willful.

Sharon: Ah, this… well, it’s my fault.

“I’m almost done reviewing, I want to go home and play games.”

“…” Sharon glanced at the book Adele had barely flipped through, remained silent for a moment, and then smiled.

“I’ll read for a while longer, can you wait for me, Adele?”

 

On the one hand, Sharon wanted to stay in the library a little longer, and on the other hand, she hoped that Adele would also read more and review, hoping that she could get good grades on her final exams.

“Eh… okay, who told me to like you, Sharon~”

In front of Sharon, Adele acted like a spoiled younger sister, it wasn’t a deliberate persona or anything.

First, she loved to act coquettishly, especially in front of a girl who only had eyes for her.

Second, Sharon was a little older than Adele, so Adele was the younger sister.

But not an annoying younger sister!

Sharon blushed slightly at Adele’s words.

 

But she couldn’t say anything sweet in response, just nodded slightly and continued to immerse herself in the ocean of knowledge.

Adele had no choice but to turn her attention back to her books.

In addition to the textbooks and materials she brought, she also borrowed a novel from the library.

After reading her textbooks for a while, she felt tired. At this time, Sharon was still reading seriously, the quiet girl’s side profile was beautiful and pure, making Adele reluctant to disturb her.

So Adele blinked and took out the novel.

It was perfect for passing the time.

The novel told the story of a legendary female mage, Victoria, in a very distant era.

 

Adele raised her eyebrows and glanced at the preface of the book, confirming that it was a novel, not a biography or anything.

It was called “Victoria’s Secret ①”

This title… Adele really didn’t know how to comment on it.

But it did instantly grab her attention as an LSP(lust seeker protagonist).

However, Mage Victoria should be a real person in the magic world.

It was just that later generations compiled and artistically processed her stories and experiences, including some legends about her that circulated in a small circle, to create this novel for humans and foreign races in the mystical side to read.

The so-called mystical side referred to a world related to foreign races, magic, and abilities, a world that was kept secret from the ordinary world, it could be seen as a shadow hidden beneath the mundane world.

 

Both humans and foreign races in this world would tacitly keep this secret, trying their best not to disturb the peace of the ordinary world.

The novel told the story of Mage Victoria’s growth, love, and battles.

Of course, it was mainly about love. It seemed that the author of this book knew very well what readers wanted to read.

The author used Mage Victoria’s love experiences as a thread to connect her journey to the peak of the magic world.

At least Adele enjoyed reading it.

More importantly, Victoria! She was a lesbian!

However, the girl lived in a feudal era, even in the magic world, which was parallel to the mundane world and didn’t interfere with each other.

So Victoria’s first love, when she was a teenager, brought her a lot of trouble.

She rejected the confession of the principal’s son and instead confessed her love to another girl.

This was a shocking act in the social context at that time.

The talented girl was eventually expelled, but she didn’t implicate the girl she liked.

Then came the typical plot of a power fantasy novel. Victoria dropped out of the best magic academy and joined the weakest one, where she met her first companions and friends.

Then, in the academy competition, she became a dark horse, rising against the current and successfully slapping everyone in the face. At the same time, she also started fighting for the right of women to love each other without being discriminated against, she could be considered the earliest fighter for love equality in the magic world.

Logically speaking, Adele, as a vampire, shouldn’t be able to relate to this.

After all, in the vampire race, being a lesbian was perfectly normal, they could even give birth to the next generation by forming a blood cocoon.

So falling in love with another girl seemed natural.

But don’t forget Adele’s other identity, a transmigrator.

Although she, as a transmigrator, hadn’t done anything significant, unlike other transmigrators who wanted to build a great career or something…

At least this gave Adele a different perspective to experience and view the people and things in this world.

Because it was a power fantasy novel, Adele read it quickly. This novel was just a small part of Legendary Mage Victoria’s experiences.

The meaning of the “①” after “Victoria’s Secret ①” was also very obvious, it meant that it was a series of novels, there might be more than ten books.

It allowed people today to understand the experiences and stories of the legendary mage from that era, from her weakness to her final ascent to the peak, inspiring countless people.

She could be considered one of the earliest inspirational protagonists.

It was worth mentioning that Principal Winona of Cromwell Academy, First Snow’s foolishly upright friend, was one of the loyal and ardent fans of Mage Victoria.

In her castle, an entire large room was needed to display all the items she had collected related to Mage Victoria.

Including this series of books, which were also part of her collection.

But these couldn’t compare to the staff she had collected that once truly belonged to Victoria, the “Moon Sprout” that appeared in the later part of the novel.

It was said that by absorbing the power of the moonlight, it could heal and save lives. It was a support-type, mythical staff, and at its top, there was indeed a very rare and huge life crystal embedded.

Even after thousands of years, this staff could still display extraordinary power in Winona’s hands.

But an antique was still an antique, Winona didn’t really dare to use its full power, for fear of it falling apart.

Including its life crystal, which had never emitted any light, it might have already exhausted its magic power and turned into a useless stone.

But Winona had heard a legend.

Ancient mages mastered a magic that could bind their lives to a life crystal.

This didn’t mean that if the life crystal shattered, the person would die, that was of course impossible.

It was just a way for friends and family to hold a fragment of the life crystal that had been bound by the mage.

As long as the crystal fragment was still glowing, it meant that the mage bound to this life crystal was safe and sound.

This was a romantic gesture for mages, a way for them to assure their loved ones of their safety.

But later, in a great disaster, almost an entire generation of mages perished.

In an instant, countless life crystal fragments held by people in the magic world were extinguished!

What a desperate scene, it could be said to be the darkest moment in the history of the magic world.

And later, the remaining mages were too busy rescuing other more important magic.

How could they possibly have the energy to rescue the magic that bound life crystals?

Of course, it was more likely that later generations didn’t want to experience such despair again, so they tacitly chose to abandon this magic, preventing it from being passed down.

Compared to letting people’s hearts be lifted or extinguished with the life crystal, perhaps the unknown could provide comfort to the living, giving them a glimmer of “hope” instead of despair.

Now, Winona was busy with her affairs and had to discipline First Snow, who was going through puberty.

So she hadn’t visited the “Mage Victoria Memorial Hall” she had built for a long time to commemorate this powerful, independent, and brave female mage.

Therefore, she couldn’t possibly have discovered that the staff “Moon Sprout,” which was displayed in the center of the memorial hall, the staff that once belonged to Victoria and fought alongside her…

At a certain moment, the rare and huge life crystal embedded at its top flickered with a red magic light!

And then it vanished in an instant…
