How did Alice end up at the Roland Magic Academy?
This was Shen Sui's first reaction.
You have to know, according to the plan, Alice should be heading east towards Dragon Island, following the route Shen Sui had mapped out for her, collecting materials from weak to strong, embarking on a road trip. During this process, Alice would encounter various incidents due to her material collection, and through these events, she would constantly grow and become stronger, ultimately becoming a mage capable of handling things independently.
This was the script Shen Sui had meticulously designed for Alice. For this, he had carefully and precisely planned each material that supposedly shaped his body, ensuring the difficulty of obtaining these materials would not exceed Alice's abilities, with the difficulty gradually increasing like levels in a mobile game, forcing Alice to level up through training.
To put it simply, Shen Sui had never been this attentive when planning upgrade strategies for newbies before.
But to everyone's surprise, there was already a mishap at the start of the script.
According to the plan, Alice should be looking for the legendary Goblin's Tears in Ensate City right now, so why did she go to the capital of the Roland Empire?
Shen Sui quickly recalled the map of the Dawn Continent in his mind.
The capital of the Roland Empire, Roland City, is located to the northeast of Ensate City, not too far away. Could it be that Alice was envious of the capital's prosperity and snuck over to play?
But that doesn't make sense either.
With Alice's character, Lingyi is still in a coma, so how could she have the heart to mess around?
Thinking about her behavior when she saved Anna and Hali, she really didn't rest for a moment, only getting distracted due to unforeseen events, like the fishing at Lake Paiyiga and the descent of the Evil God.
But Alice, with her astonishing talent, connected these unexpected events with her ultimate goal, eventually benefiting from them.
Shen Sui sat on the soft sofa in the contestant's lounge, rubbing his temples in frustration.
Reaching the top eight was something worth celebrating, but in the real world, before he could even enjoy it for long, Alice suddenly hit him with a big one.
He opened the Dueling Device, quickly skipping over a series of information cards, planning to look at those later.
What Shen Sui was curious about is why Alice would go to Roland City.
Scrolling up, Shen Sui's eyes quickly scanned over the text.
[Alice has arrived at Ensate City, where she begins the search for the legendary Goblin's Tears.]
The Goblin's Tears, in the game, isn't considered a very high-grade material, though it does have a bit of rarity.
The place where Goblin's Tears can be found is in the Goblin Forest, located southeast of Ensate City.
Therefore, to find the Goblin's Tears, Alice must enter the Goblin Forest, and during this process, she would inevitably engage in battles with the goblins there. And due to the rarity of the Goblin's Tears, if Alice's luck isn't good, she might have to engage in several battles.
Goblins are relatively low-level demons on the Dawn Continent, similar to goblins in other worldviews. With Alice's current capabilities, she should have no problem dealing with them, making it a very suitable place for Alice's training.
The first few days were very normal, with Alice and Anna entering the Goblin Forest.
Fighting, hunting monsters, and searching for Goblin's Tears.
Then returning to Ensate City to rest and sell the materials obtained from the Goblin Forest, buying supplies to venture back into battle again.
During this period, Alice's level did not change much, and because the number of goblins in the Goblin Forest wasn't what it used to be, she didn't even manage to take on a Goblin Slayer form.
But at least until now, Alice's performance had been very normal.
[When Alice is resting, she especially likes to listen to the mercenaries' conversations at the tavern.]
[Her cute and lively nature is well-liked by the mercenaries, and Alice quickly blends in with them.]
[She joins the mercenaries in cursing the misdeeds of the Church and the royals, while also admiring the mysterious and powerful Witch Hozerville.]
[During this time, Alice met a mature mage, Liames. She is a powerful eighth-tier Fire Mage.]
[Liames highly values Alice's talent and teaches her many techniques for using flames.]
[With each teaching from Liames, Alice would apply it to the battles on the next day, rapidly enhancing her combat experience.]
[Unlike other carefree, always jolly mercenaries, Liames is constantly worried and frets all day long. Every evening, she would sigh while looking towards the northeast.]
[Alice asked Liames many times, but each time she seemed hesitant to speak.]
[On the third day in Ensate City, Alice finally obtained the Goblin's Tears in a hidden cave.]
[She planned to leave Ensate City and head to her next destination.]
[That night, Liames, who had been troubled in her heart, finally found Alice and confided in her about what had been troubling her.]
[She asked Alice if she would become her student.]
[She was a teacher from the Magic System at the Roland Empire Magic Academy.]
Here it is!
Was this the main culprit?
Shen Sui squinted, focusing intently on the following text.
Liames noticed Alice's unorthodox method, thinking Alice was an apprentice mage who had stumbled upon a legacy by chance, without systematic magic training. If she continued like this, it would be a waste of Alice's natural talent. Therefore, Liames hoped Alice would receive formal magic training to fully utilize her magical talent.
No.
Miss, you misunderstood something.
Alice has received proper training.
But she can only grow stronger through these unorthodox methods, which leaves me feeling helpless too!
Shen Sui, also Alice's teacher, showed an utterly helpless expression.
Roland Magic Academy.
Ah, how nostalgic.
Shen Sui reminisced about the game's plot.
Vivian was saved from the snow by him during that snowy night when she was about to freeze to death.
Upon learning about Vivian's dream, Shen Sui decided to support her, out of his own pocket, to study at the Magic Academy.
After that, Vivian briefly disappeared from Shen Sui's perspective, only occasionally sending letters and her handmade crafts.
In her letters, Vivian always describes her life at the Roland Magic Academy in the most cheerful words. However, occasionally, there is a slight hint of a girl's longing for the protagonist in her words.
At that time, Vivian wasn't sure what these feelings were. Her affection towards Shen Sui hadn't fully transformed into love, but the girl's shyness and longing, as well as her deep reliance on the protagonist, could be clearly felt even through the text.
This is also why Shen Sui likes the trash game "Dawn Link." Although the production team is like the ultimate patchwork monster, borrowing a bit from everywhere when it comes to game mechanics, they truly put their heart into the plot and writing.
They delicately portray the subtle changes in emotions that a girl experiences when her heart begins to stir, with writing so full of emotion that it feels as though it truly comes from a girl who's awakening to love.
In the game, Vivian's life at the Magic Academy isn't elaborated on much. Shen Sui's understanding of this part is limited to a side quest involving the search for the Twilight Saintess's first magic device creation.
It was at the Roland Magic Academy that Vivian first learned about creating magic devices.
