Chapter 273: Don't Cheat, Angela!
Chapter 273: Don't Cheat, Angela!
While Those in Cassau are taking the entrance exam, the same thing happened in the capital as well. Angela and Shirley have been transported to Roy's mansion in the capital. And they are not alone. Ian and Ruby were there as well. Ian will be the butler of the mansion.
Shirley actually can just live in the palace along with her brother the king, but she would prefer to live with her best friend, Angela. That's why the two asked Roy to live together in his mansion. And it's not like Roy will live there anytime soon.
"Good luck, you two. I will pray for the best to you two." Ian said to the two girls as they left the mansion.
"Especially you, Angela. Make sure you answer the question very very carefully. Don't be in a hurry to finish the questions you don't understand. Just finish everything that you know first, and do the rest later. Just take your time, okay?" Ruby said worriedly.
"You don't need to worry about me, Ruby. Just enjoy the capital while we take the test." Angela said proudly.
Hearing that, Shirley got suspicious of Angela. She then grabbed and touched Angela all over her body, and even flipped her skirt and shirt.
Meanwhile, Ian gentlemanly looked away from the event happening in front of him.
"Whoa! What are you doing, Shirley!?"
"Hmm? What are these? Cheating sheets? Are you going to teach during the exam?" Shirley asked angrily.
"Umm… Roy said that I will surely pass this way. If I write down everything that should come up during the exam on paper, and hide them with me for the exam, I will surely pass. Please don't take them?" Angela pleaded.
"No. You can't cheat during the exam. No matter what, cheating is bad. And Roy is a bad influence. Don't cheat during the exam. Everyone studied hard for the exam, and I won't forgive anyone who cheats!"
Shirley is angry. Rather than toward Angela, her anger is directed toward Roy who advised Angela to cheat.
"Hmm? We still have time before the exam started. I have something to discuss with Roy first."
Shirley then entered a room where Roy put a Blobby in, and tapped on the Blobby. It was still morning, and Roy was woken up by Victoria who shakes his body during his sleep, and told him that there's an emergency with the Blobby in the mansion. Roy then quickly open a portal, and saw the angry Shirley in front of him.
"Umm… princess? Is something the matter?" Roy asked.
"Well, you told Angela to cheat, huh?" Shirley asked.
"Oh, that… I thought I did something bad to anger you. I never asked her to cheat, you know?" Roy said calmly.
"Really? Because there are multiple cheating sheets hidden all over her body. You said that it wasn't you who taught her to do it?"
"No, but I predicted everything. I know that if I told her to study, she won't understand a single thing. But if I told her to write cheating sheets, she will have to wrote everything that she thought they would appear during the test. Unknown to herself, what she's doing is called studying. I told her to hid the cheating sheets under her clothes, but I never told her to peek on them. Now, if she sees any questions that she learned while making those cheating sheets, she will know the answers. It will increase her chances to pass, right? I also predicted that if it's you, you will find those cheating sheets before the test, and will throw them away. What I didn't predict is that you will call me here." Roy explained.
"Oh, I see. You're right. Sigh… Angela is actually smart, but she needed to be taught in a roundabout way. Alright, you can go home."
"Now, you must have understood that you have to keep her mind on those cheating sheets, right? If not, she will forget everything she learned. Her socializing skill is high and she can remember people's name unlike me. But on studying, her memory is way worse than mine. Good luck."
Roy return back home as if he's escaping. And since he's already up, he has no choice but to go to the campus earlier.
As for Shirley. She told Angela that she can't bring those cheating sheets with her. Angela keeps complaining the whole time to the campus.
As for Shirley, she knows that she has to keep Angela's mind only to those cheating sheets. If her mind wanders off somewhere else, everything that she learned will disappear.
'What a troublesome friend I have! How is such girl can become a legend in the future? Well, her magic is exceptional. But her intellect is questionable on things other than magic and battle. She's also has great fashion sense, and easy to talk to. Don't tell me that Roy has been doing many things for her in this life? And now, it's my turn to babysit her? …I'll ask Roy to write the manual on how to work with her. Sigh… I thought I already know everything about her.' Shirley thought.
Shirley tries hard to keep talking about cheating, and they finally reached campus right before the exam started. Shirley sighed in relief that her work is done. Now, she can only pray for Angela's success.
When the exam is over, the other students quickly went for the practical exam for their test, but Shirley is still sitting on her seat worried about Angela. And then, Angela approached her.
"Shirley! It's amazing! I know most of the answer for the exam! I must be a genius! This way, Roy can no longer make fun of me!" Angela said proudly as if she's waiting until only the two of them remain.
Hearing that Roy's plan succeeded, and Shirley's hard work on keeping Angela's mind on track paid off, she let out a happy smile as she hugged Angela.
"That's great! You're awesome! Roy will praise you a lot when we return! Let's return later tonight so you can receive his praise as soon as possible!" Shirley said happily.
"Really? Ehehe…" Angela smiled shyly.
No one knows that in Roy's past life, back during the stampede on Melk, Angela lost her best friend. Someone whom Roy doesn't know in both lives. And After her best friend died, that's when she decided to study harder, work harder, and cultivate harder than anyone else. That's how she became a legend.
But now, that tragedy didn't happen. Angela is now blessed with a lot of friends to watch her back.
She might not become smarter like the Angela in Roy's previous life. But after everything that happened and what Roy told her, she can focus more only on becoming stronger. And in this future, she will become even more powerful than the Elemental Master in Roy's previous life.
…but she will still need someone to guide her.
Then they heard a knock, and someone entered the room they're in.
"Your highness, it's me." The woman who entered the room, kneeled in front of Shirley.
"It's you from the training camp! You're a professor here? You can raise now." Shirley recognized the woman as someone who participated the training camp. She was one of the summoners who was taught by Roy.
"Yes. And the dean is also someone who participated the training camp. His majesty told us that you're taking exam here. He said that it's fine to not do anything. I'm just here to show myself." The woman said as she stood back up.
Her name is Rinne. Professor who is responsible in summoning class, and ice element class. Since she will teach Shirley and Angela, she shows herself to them. Though during the training camp, it was those two who taught Rinne about ice magic.
"You're a summoner, right? Are you going to ask Roy's help once your level increase?" Angela asked.
"I am a summoner indeed. But I won't ask him for my next monster. I will create a party with me to explore that Monsters World and find a good monster. We will still ask him since he said that will send us a Werewolf to guide us." Rinne replied.
"I see. Well, are you an examiner for the exam?" Shirley asked.
"No. I left the exam to the other professors. It should have started now."
"Thanks for coming. We'll go take the test right away. You can go back to your work. From now, just pretend in front of everyone that you don't know me. For you and the other staffs, I'm just a student here who is a princess. Just treat me like the other students. Probably to not make it suspicious, slightly treat me better than the others."
"I understand. I wish you luck for the exams." Rinne said. Then she left the two and returns to her work.
"I guess now it's time for the other exams. Which one are you going to take?" Shirley asked Angela.
"Everything. You?"
"Same here. Let's go and surprise everyone. Once we show them our power, I hope no one will bother us anymore."
Back during their walk to the campus, many people tried to stop them. But Shirley was occupied only on making Angela focus on the cheating sheets.
Those people are either men who take fancy on those two, or some noble's children who knows that Shirley is a princess. But Shirley just ignored them all, and Angela keeps begging for her cheating sheets. And then, after the tests are over, no one dares to go after them.
The entrance exam this year was marked as the day where two exceptional students of the academy take the tests. A princess, and a monster who destroyed everything. But since she was too pretty to be called monster, she was called as an angel. Angel of destruction.
If Roy is here, he will ask, "Where's the Elemental Master?"
