But this time she still bravely appeared.

No matter whether the final result is good or bad, she has made up her mind to guide this maiden.

"Alright, everyone quiet down."

The Vice President of the Elf School Higher Academy, a four hundred-year-old elf elder, presides over the spiritual power test.

There wasn't any formalism; he quickly explained the main process and started the test.

"We will proceed one student at a time according to class. Those who are called please step forward, and those who are not, wait below for a while."

The elf elder took out the roster and began reading names one by one.

"Pasha."

"You Yu."

"Sakamoto."

"Bird-Flower."

One by one, the fourth-year elves stepped forward to test their spiritual power.

The Test Gem gave feedback one by one, and the elf elder announced the results.

"Mid-tier, rank 4."

"Mid-tier, rank 3."

"Mid-tier, rank 8."

"Mid-tier, rank 5."

Lureya stood at the back of the crowd.

Because her class was towards the end, they usually tested their spiritual power in the last batch.

Moreover, according to the experience of previous spiritual power tests, Lureya knew she was probably the last to take the stage again.

Why do they arrange for her to be the closing act? It's super obvious! Are they trying to end the test on a comedic note? Just let her slip by unnoticed amidst the crowd!

"Fes."

"Present."

"Fes, high-tier, rank 1."

Among the fourth-year students, it's rare to see a student of high-tier level, and all eyes in the stadium focused on the short-haired elf maiden on the high platform.

"Oh my gosh, Fes actually has reached high-tier rank 1. That's already enough power to graduate smoothly."

"And her looks are quite striking too."

Fes smiled confidently, straightening her back, silently gazing at Lureya like a victor.

Humph, dreaming of casually becoming the Elf Race's new generation's No.1 beautiful maiden?

That's impossible.

To vie for the title of new generation beautiful maiden, you need looks and power!

Just having a pretty face is worthless.

A beautiful maiden without any power is just an ordinary vase, Lureya.

People always remember the first and forget the second far away.

As a elf maiden who occasionally reaches No.2 on the new generation beautiful elf rankings, Fes has been dissatisfied with the second position for a long time.

The second who doesn't covet the first is not a good second.

Fes has been eyeing Lureya fiercely for a long time, yearning to surpass Lureya and take first place.

If today she becomes a high-tier elf as a fourth-year, while Lureya remains a low-tier elf as a fourth-year, and this striking contrast event makes the front and back page headlines, the tide would turn!

"Without any power, you can't hold the first position, Lureya."

Fess walked off the stage proudly.

"Last one, Lureya."

Lureya was still in a daze, suddenly realizing that it was already her turn.

Indeed, she was the closing act.

Everyone present looked at her, and a path slowly formed among the elf students.

Lureya swallowed hard, awkwardly taking small steps, slowly walking up to the high platform.

On the high platform.

"Lureya, are you ready?"

Nico looked at this stiff-moving elf maiden.

"Ah, um, um..."

Lureya herself had no confidence, slowly walking up to the Test Gem, extending her hands, but they froze in mid-air.

"Lureya, believe in yourself."

In the ring, Shami's words made Lureya feel slightly steadier.

Lureya still chose to touch the Test Gem with her hands.

Under everyone's watchful eyes, the Test Gem gradually emitted a faint glow, but it quickly faded.

On the Jade Disc door, Lureya's rank slowly appeared.

"Low-tier rank 3."

The Vice President's voice echoed thunderously in the stadium.

The entire stadium fell silent for a moment, then erupted like boiling water.

"No way, she's still at low-tier rank 3!"

"As expected, just a vase."

"Lureya-senpai! You're still not improving; I should have stopped being your fan a long time ago!"

"Ha, even better. Without power, you can't even protect your own body; I can toy with you easily."

"Oh, the low-tier trash elf, what's the point of looking pretty."

In the audience, there was a buzz of discussion, an endless symphony of good and bad, pitiful and sympathetic, malicious and slanderous voices that made Lureya's head spin.

Lureya's little face had almost lost all color, pale and desperate, her legs so weak that she was nearly collapsing.

Indeed, indeed, she had not made any progress at all...

"You idiot! What's the point of touching half and not the other? Put both hands on it, Lureya!"

At this moment, Shami's scolding voice came to her ears, waking Lureya up.

In the Maple Forest Clearing, Shami looked at Lureya and couldn't help but shout.

"Huh?"

Lureya snapped out of her daze and looked at the Test Gem, only to realize that, distracted as she was, her hands had gradually left the surface of the gem halfway through the test.

Lureya quickly pressed her palms against it again.

The Test Gem regained a faint glow.

"Wait, something's changed."

The Vice Principal squinted at the Jade Disc Stone, where the shifting phases slowly disappeared and then advanced to a new stage.

"Low-level Stage 4..."

"Low-level Stage 5..."

"Low-level Stage 6..."

A gentle airflow began to appear around the Test Gem, making Lureya's skirt sway slightly.

On the Jade Disc Stone, Lureya's final strength slowly froze in place.

The Vice Principal looked at Lureya with surprise and revised the result.

"Lureya, Low Level, Stage 7."

Silence.

Then an uproar.

All the elves present were shocked.

"No way, her power actually increased!"

"Senior Lureya! Don't worry, fly forward! Aya will follow you forever!"

"This is too fake, is she pretending to be a pig to eat a tiger?"

"Advancing 4 stages in one summer break, even at a low level, that's quite fast."

Lureya's little face was blank as she looked in disbelief at the Jade Disc Stone fixed at [Low Level Stage 7]. Her once dead heart now found hope again, and she excitedly clenched her fists.

"Shami! Did you see it? My power really increased!"

Lureya transmitted her excitement to Shami.

Shami was momentarily taken aback, but then a smile spread across his lips.

"I saw, I saw."

Although her final power was still at the low level, Lureya was already immensely satisfied.

Her power level, which had remained stagnant for so many years, had finally increased at this moment, which indicated that she wouldn't always remain at Low Level Stage 3. She could become stronger too.

However, facing her peers who were almost all mid-level elves, Lureya still didn't dare to look directly at her past.

Her Low Level Stage 7 was still too weak.

"Lureya, you must have been practicing hard during the summer break."

Nico looked at Lureya in surprise and gave her a thumbs-up in praise.

Lureya blinked joyfully.

"Of course~!"

The elder elf stroked his beard.

"Alright, the spiritual power test is now over, you can leave."

"Oh, then I'll first..."

Lureya bowed while intending to release her hands from the Test Gem and prepared to leave.

But Shami suddenly stopped her.

"The test isn't over yet, Lureya, keep it as is."

Lureya's body tensed; although she didn't know what Shami meant, she complied without hesitation.

"Nico teacher, wait a moment, the test isn't over yet..."

Lureya kept her hands on the Test Gem.

"Hm?"

Nico and the Vice Principal looked over simultaneously.

"Hey, Shami, what are you trying to do?"

Lureya's little face was flustered as she softly transmitted a message to Shami.

Because her face was downcast, the teachers didn't notice Lureya's small mouth moving slightly.

Shami didn't plan to stop just yet.

He had just heard some voices that greatly displeased him.

Since meeting the flat-haired golden, even from the start as adversaries, he never used the word waste to describe Lureya.

Even when insulting her, he never called her anything other than an idiot.

But just now, a bunch of mindless elves dared to speak disrespectfully of his Demon Envoy.

This made the Demon King very unhappy, extremely unhappy.

"Lureya, since you're the last to appear, a simple announcement of revival is clearly not enough. I want you to give a harsh slap to the faces of those around you who spoke out of line."
