Chapter 318: Reassessment at the Stadium
All students were notified to gather at the stadium at eight o'clock for the reassessment event that day, so Elysia and her friends followed the other students to get there.
"Nee... Aren't we getting too much attention? Why are the students stealing glances at us?" Elysia spoke in a soft whisper.
"Hmm, maybe because we came with the Holy Cathedral's golden carriage? Don't think about it, Ely. You may not really notice, but we've been attracting attention since last month." Evelyn put her hand on her best friend's arm as she replied.
"En, you need to get used to it, Ely. Given the incident four days ago, you might get more attention from your classmates." Ella smiled softly, then gave a response from several students who said good morning greetings to her. Elysia and Evelyn also responded that way if their names were mentioned by several students who greeted them.
While Elysia and her friends walked towards the stadium, several other students just realized the three stunning girls' presence.
"Hey, it is Miss Elysia, the first-year student who managed to save her classmates from the incident four days ago." Student A nudged his friend and beckoned with his eyes.
"Oh yes, I have heard about it. Woah, Miss Elysia is so beautiful and graceful... She also came with two beautiful and charming friends. What an amazing morning view. I'm sure today is my lucky day." Student B smiled with a silly expression as he looked at the three approaching girls.
"You stupid boys! How dare you ogled your dirty eyes on our Holy Princess, Miss Elysia, and Miss Evelyn. Do your eyes need to be cleansed from sin with Holy Magic?" The priest student took out a Holy Church cross with an expression of dissatisfaction.
"Aiyaa! Our conversation is overheard by the priest tyrant. Run before it's too late." Student A immediately ran away, and his friend followed suit.
On the other hand, a group of boys also noticed the arrival of Elysia and her friends. They stopped for a moment to gaze at the beautiful scenery in the morning.
"Hm, the three stunning beauties walking together are really eye-catching. You're lucky to be in the same class as two of them, Brian boy." One of the muscular senior patted the enchanted student's back.
"Ah-uh, yeah... I got lucky." Brian immediately returned to the world. That was the umpteenth time he felt grateful for failing to advance to second grade.
"Wait... Boss, why is Senior Raylee walking together with Miss Elysia and the others? He's not following them, is he?" David whispered as he half-covered his mouth.
Hearing that, Brian, Ashton, and several other students who happened to pass by immediately stared at Raylee with a death glare.
It would be fine if it were just girls, but a boy was there too... Right behind the three girls. Whatever the reason, that lucky student had to get punished.
Raylee had absolutely no idea that he had been targeted by envious students.
Several students who seemed to think the same thing looked at each other then nodded with a grin. Then, they walked towards the lucky boy. The sudden behavior of the envious student group confused the muscular seniors.
"Good morning on this sunny day, o lovely girls. Your charm has truly brightened up our first day at the academy after three days off." One of the brave students greeted Elysia's group in a flirtatious manner.
Unfortunately, Brian immediately grabbed the flirtatious student's shoulder and pulled the student to go behind him. That was his stage. "Good morning. Today's morning is as lovely as you."
"Uhm, good morning." Evelyn responded as a representative. She was a little worried when a group of male students came to them.
"Haha, wish you a good day, lovely." After saying that with a big smile, Brian approached Raylee with smooth movements. "Hello, Senior Raylee. Is your stomach okay? I hope you don't push yourself like that again."
"Oh, hi. My stomach is fine, thanks for Miss Elysia's healing magic." Raylee responded with a suave smile.
"Good morning, Senior. Can you join us on the way to the stadium? There are a few things we want to talk about." The brave student invited in a friendly manner.
Meanwhile, Elysia, Ella, and Evelyn were only looking at each other with clueless expressions. However, Elysia only slightly tilted her head and walked back towards the stadium. Evelyn and Ella also followed suit. That group of boys had apparently come for Raylee, so they could leave.
"Nee, Ely, what's with that group of boys?" Evelyn asked out of curiosity.
"No ideas, Eve. Maybe, they have some business to discuss with Senior Raylee." Elysia only shrugged her shoulders a little as she didn't care about the affairs of the group of boys.
After they entered the stadium, there were nine banners placed above nine sections of the grandstands. It was functioned to indicate the division of students by grade.
"Oh, what kind of crystal is that?" Elysia's attention was drawn to a large semi-transparent white crystal set in the center of the field. It was like a giant chunk of ice.
"Hm, it's like an affinity identification crystal. The crystal in the magic tool I used in the Holy Cathedral to check your affinity last month, Ely. Do you remember?" Ella glanced at the crystal and remembered something similar.
"Oh! All the students will be sitting in the grandstands to watch every student affinity test? Auu, I'm getting nervous. We'll be in the middle of the field and watched by a lot of people. Not to mention, the first-year students are the first to take the reassessment." Evelyn covered her mouth upon realization.
"Uh, well... Looks like it will be a spectacle. Look at the big screens over there. Maybe every student will be shown on the screens during the reassessment." Elysia pointed at the four large black screens on the four sides of the stadium.
"Oh no... I feel nervous if we will be shown that way." Evelyn's face turned pale as she looked at the thousands of students in the grandstands.
"You will be fine, Eve. You will not be alone in the field. All the students in the same class will be there too. Ah, I need to go to my class section, Ely, Eve." Ella patted Evelyn on the back as if to comfort the anxious girl.
"Okay, see you later, Ella." Elysia waved her hand with a smile, and Evelyn did the same.
Ella also waved her hand, then she excused herself. She went to the grandstands for third graders.
"Ely... Looks like we also need to go to our class grandstands." Evelyn glanced at the banner with the number one written on it.
"Yes, let's go there." Elysia nodded, and they headed towards their grandstands.
Meanwhile, Elena immediately checked the entire stadium with her magic vision. After feeling sure that there was nothing to attract attention and vigilance, she glanced at the little Goddess on her shoulder. 'Little one, can you go with your angel? I have little matter and can't accompany you.'
'Oh, I'm fine with that. However, we'll be leaving this afternoon.' Nell stopped swinging her legs and gave a gentle reminder.
'Okay, I know. You just have to take my Ely for that, and I'll be around.' Elena gave a wink with a smile, but Nell didn't understand that.
'Okay, see you later.' Nell flew away from Elena's shoulder. She did not ask more than that regarding the matter in question as she didn't want to be seen as a busy body in Elena's eyes.
Nell glanced at Elena out of curiosity. Unfortunately, the latter had already disappeared from there without any sign or any energy fluctuation. Elena's divine magic was indeed complicated and complex to understand. Nell shook her head then flew towards Ella.
'Gabriella, I'll use that name to refer to you. I will accompany you here. You may speak to me through your mind. ' Nell sent telepathy, but Ella immediately turned right and left as if looking for something.
'I sit on your right shoulder. You may act as usual, and please don't tremble like this.' Nell smiled in amusement. She had expected the reaction she would get from this girl.
'The- The Goddess of Blessings? Has my voice reached you? Oh my Goddess, truly... I- I feel honored.' Ella stuttered and started to feel tense and nervous. A divine being sitting on her shoulder? She was that close to her Goddess!
'Your voice is conveyed to me.' Nell responded, and it sounded in Ella's mind.
Ella's eyes sparkled at the honor she received. After that, she tried to calm herself down and started talking a lot to her Goddess. It was a rare opportunity, after all. And, Of course, the Goddess of Blessings didn't hesitate to respond.
On the other hand, Elena returned to Elysia and entered the Soul Realm. It was annoying enough for her to linger in the outside world. 'Ely, I'm home.'
'Hello home, I'm Ely.' Elysia wanted to laugh, but she still had a faint smile on her face.
'...' Elena got a slight delay, but she immediately understood the meaning a moment after. 'O, hey. You should reply with a welcome.'
'Hehe, welcome back, Sister Elena.' Elysia giggled in mind. Elena's stupefied expression earlier was really funny to remember.
'Fine. It'll be eight o'clock soon, hehe... I can't wait to see my proud disciple surprise everyone. Oh! I also want to see that Serena girl later. What kind of reaction are we going to see later, hmm? I wonder.' Elena laid on her stomach while floating aimlessly inside the Soul Realm. She shook her hands and swung her legs in excitement.
'Mm, we'll see.' Elysia also became excited because of Elena.
