“…”Audrey was momentarily stunned with his answer as she looked at the smiling Jace in astonishment. However, Steve had already spoken up before she even had the chance to react. “Professor Alberts, I am embarrassed to say this, but my previous herbalist instructor had taught me a similar formula in the past. Haha… so it was naturally faster for me to produce this antidote… However, this cannot be considered as cheating! It was something that I had accumulated over the years!”Steve defended himself as if there was really such an incident, and acted as if he was afraid that Professor Alberts would cancel his achievements.Professor Alberts was also stunned as he had assumed that it was Andrew who had given the antidote

“Some people from the lower status can be unscrupulous to achieve their motives. They are willing to act meek, subservient, and even do dirty tricks. This is not something we can easily learn.”Undisguised sharp and unkind words could be heard from a few of those students.They were not worried about any consequences if he were to hear them. He was only a first-year student in the Herbalist Division, and he was very young too. How could he go against those from the fighting professions? But Audrey walked past them without bothering to spare anyone even a sideway glance. It was as if she did not hear any of those harsh words of contempt. She walked to Jace’s tent without a single word to anyone else and entered the tent.“See, this little kid must have gone to fawn over Jace again. Shameless.&

Blood Moon Woodland By the fifth time that the sun took a dive to the western horizon in order to meet the sea, Audrey’s group no longer came across any hiccups. Thus, they were able to confirm that they finally got rid of every hindrance present on the island. ‘Phew’ They exhaled a collective sigh of relief. “This was definitely one hell of an adventure.” Allan could not help but comment while Jace, on the other hand, was quick to second him. “I could not agree more.” Indeed, what they experienced so far could only be described as a roller coaster ride; they unexpectedly wandered on the road full of ups and downs along the way. Yet, still, the group managed to emerge triumphant at each of every obstacle. At the same time, clear signs of exhaustion could be seen on their faces. But that was not enough to stop them. Apparently, they were determined more than ever to see this mission to its end. Something that was understandable considering the amount of effort that they had alre

“What if the Graes already took notice of us as soon as we entered their perimeter and right now, we are under a spell; making our eyes play a trick on us? What if what we are seeing right now is not real?”“Well, if that is the case, then I guess there is only one way to check it.”Audrey insinuated and without wasting another breath, she said the passphrase."Turn your back to the forest, your front to me."Slowly, it dawned on the others as well what was possibly happening and so without waiting to be told what to do, they recited the same thing too."Turn your back to the forest, your front to me."They whispered into the air one after another and almost immediately, the landscape changed into something else, right before their naked eyes.Everyone watched with an awestruck face as the trees turned into fences. At the same time, just a few feet away from where they were standing, they noticed how an empty lot from moments ago started to morph into what seemed to be an inconspicuou

Audrey was on her dormitory bed when all that happened, and she was absolutely oblivious to the problem that was headed her way. Meanwhile, the results of the examination were announced on the third day. The students gathered around the square early in the morning and crammed in front of the announcement board to check their results. They also wanted to find out which class they had been allocated to. Niccoli dragged Audrey into the heavily obstructed crowd and finally came before the Herbalist Division’s announcement board. Niccoli immediately found their names, and as expected, both of them had obtained the highest marks for the test. They were also allocated to the Herbalist Division’s violet class for that autumn enrollment. Niccoli was also excited to see the name ‘Andrew’ written on the top of the list. Everyone envied her marks. “Andrew! You are the first! You are the first!” Niccoli was extremely surprised and held onto Audrey’s shoulder. He was very excited, and it was as i
