My Stubborn Soul Card Follower

[Alice recalled the group of children she had seen earlier and sighed, "Yes, there are so many talented people in the academy."]

[She initially thought Amelia was just being modest, but when she saw that Zophia had reached the level of a sixth-tier Mage at only thirteen, she had to believe it. ]

["These are all kids from the slums and countryside," said Liames, "If we hadn't persuaded their parents, they probably would have ended up in the bedrooms of some nobles or priests." ]

[Alice was silent for a long time, remembering the education her aunt had given her on such matters. ]

[Even at a young age, Alice already knew how to minimize the harm to herself from the brutal, bestial treatment of men, and how to avoid dying directly in the act. ]

["Magical talent never depends on bloodline," Liames sighed, "Yet the resources to learn magic have always been handed down through bloodlines. Our predecessors established the Roland Magic Academy to break this phenomenon. But in subsequent years, we basked in worldly praise and forgot their original intent. If the opportunity for gigantification hadn't taken us out, we might never have known there were so many magical talents in the world." ]

["That's true; there are indeed many geniuses," Alice thought of Anna. In fact, Anna's magical talent wasn't inferior to Alice's. Otherwise, she wouldn't have been able to fully bear the power of the Sinful Chalice. ]

[If she hadn't met Claude, she might never have been able to grasp the mysteries of magic in her lifetime. ]

[The knowledge of magic was firmly controlled by the Church and the nobles, becoming a heavy wall that divided the extraordinary from the ordinary. ]

["So where are you planning to go for trials this time?" Alice decided to change the heavy topic. Once she finished settling accounts with the Thunder Church, the Roland Empire would see a new beginning, and there would naturally be ways to solve these problems then. ]

[Upon mentioning this, Liames showed a bitter smile: "Originally, we planned to go to the Demon Beast Forest, but as soon as we arrived, we heard about an explosion and fire there."]

[Alice felt a bit awkward: "Ah, that's really unfortunate." ]

["Not really," Liames said, "With the Beast Calamity approaching, going to the Demon Beast Forest isn't a good choice right now." ]

[Liames refilled Alice's cup of tea and continued, "So now we're planning to go to another trial location." ]

[Alice curiously asked, "Where to?" ]

["The War God Stone Forest," said Liames. ]

[The War God Stone Forest is a gathering place for magical beasts, comparable to the Demon Beast Forest, though the beasts in the Demon Beast Forest are generally stronger. ]

[Since it was her disruption that changed Liames's trial plans, Alice, upon hearing they were going to the War God Stone Forest, immediately patted her chest and said, "In that case, let me, as the senior, lead the team this time." ]

[During the trial, offering some good things to her juniors would also be a form of compensation. ]

[Alice thought to herself. ]

You'd better not!

Seeing Alice propose leading the Roland Magic Academy students on a trial, Shen Sui's heart nearly skipped a beat.

Thinking back, what happened last time Alice led a trial?

Oh~!

She seemed to have led a group of budding Loli Dragon Princesses the wrong way, fighting all the way through the Central Wilderness to their destination, and by the time they arrived, the Dragon Princesses had already leveled up.

Alice's leadership of that trial directly caused chaos in the Central Wilderness, and as Bai Ye said, it still hasn't settled down.

Better not, you shouldn't bring chaos again this time.

However, Alice spoke too quickly, the words were already out before Shen Sui noticed her intention.

After Liames agreed to it, there was no turning back.

Forget it.

Shen Sui thought to himself.

Anyway, the War God Stone Forest is quite close to the War God Temple. Arianna can watch over things, so nothing major should happen.

Shen Sui reassured himself.

As he thought this, Vivian released the girl Vivian.

When girl Vivian appeared in her elf form on Alice's shoulder, Liames was startled.

Vivian, using the perspective of Candlelight Illusion, clearly saw the current state of the Roland Magic Academy.

"It's in decline," Vivian sighed, "A teacher responsible for magic education, only having ninth-tier strength?"

During her time at the Roland Magic Academy, even the assistant professors were at least twelfth-tier in strength.

"There's no helping it," Shen Sui said, "After the divine recovery, these mage unbelievers became the primary target after the Twilight Council, so declining was inevitable."

"That's unacceptable!" Vivian said firmly, "How can my alma mater fall into such decline?"

Saying this, she seemed to give some command to the girl Vivian.

Seeing the smile on Vivian's lips, Shen Sui asked curiously, "What are you planning to do?"

Vivian didn't hide it from Shen Sui, saying, "Doesn't Alice know how to make puppets? I plan to assist via projection, having Alice make some combat puppets to leave at the school. They can protect the academy's security and also handle some necessary teaching tasks."
