Chapter 33 - A Sweet Girl Won’t Be Fooled By The Villainess

Chapter 33 Is This It? (Extra Chapter for Monthly Votes) Is this just like trying to force a duck onto a perch? Do you think you can win her forgiveness by force? Ifia was speechless as she looked at George kneeling towards her. She had thought George was very brave. But as it turned out, was this it? If he was so cowardly, why did he want to cause trouble in the first place? It was no longer a matter of whether she forgave him; it was about whether Priscus Academy would punish him. "I believe that Priscus Academy will handle everything well and will not let the students suffer injustice," Ifia spoke again with a serious expression on her face, ignoring the pressure brought by George's kneeling and straightforwardly passing the trouble onto the academy. It didn't matter to her whether George stayed or left. [System, is George really a member of the female lead's group? Why is he so outrageous?] [Host, the system has never confirmed whether your guess is correct. According to the original plot development, George was only the female lead's companion when she first entered Priscus Academy. After the female lead gradually developed, he was no longer worthy of standing by her side.] [......] Fine! The idea that Fina and George were members of the female lead's group was indeed just her subjective thought. However, whenever it came to the plot, the system was as evasive as a riddle. It couldn't obtain any information... wait a minute, this was not right! Why, this time when I inquired about the plot, did the system not hesitate and instead replied so readily? [System, why didn't you provide spoilers when I asked about George's plot?] [Except for the main characters, the system can open inquiry permissions for unimportant character plots if it doesn't involve the main characters. For example, Ifia's original ending was also not concealed.] The system's explanation was flawless. It did indeed not conceal anything. But the more it was like this, the more curious Ifia became. What secrets were the main characters hiding that required the system to be so vigilant? Ifia knew that even if she asked, she wouldn't get an answer. So she decided not to ask anymore and redirected her attention back to the present. The head teacher had already put on a stern face, ready to have George taken away. Seeing that there was no turning back at this point, George, who had a pained expression on his face, had no more hope. He knew he was finished! The beautiful future he had once dreamed of was now all slipping away from him. George trembled, even when he was being dragged away with his arms supported by two people. With the troublemaker already taken away and the farce coming to an end, the head teacher motioned to the teacher in charge to continue. Apart from announcing the name of the top student in the year, the next item was the eagerly anticipated distribution of rewards. Facing the students' attention, Ifia walked up to the platform step by step, receiving the golden commemorative coins from the teacher. The commemorative coins were encased in glass boxes and glinted in the sunlight. They were so beautiful~ Ifia was so moved that tears almost fell from her eyes. She tried hard to maintain a serious expression, trying to recall the saddest thing in her life. But all that paled in comparison to the glittering gold... Thankfully, it was only after Ifia stepped down from the platform that she couldn't control the corners of her mouth from rising wildly. By the time she returned to her seat, Lucy and Jessina had already surrounded her, wearing curious faces and wanting to see the commemorative coin. Ifia did not disappoint them and immediately opened the glass box, revealing a ping-pong ball-sized gold coin with exquisite and delicate patterns carved on it, connecting these patterns together to form a grazing lamb. "Indeed, every commemorative coin from Priscus Academy is a masterpiece!" Looking at the golden commemorative coin, Lucy had the same priceless silly smile as Ifia, while Jessina was impressed by the intricate craftsmanship of the commemorative coin. From any angle, it was extraordinary! The more she looked at it the more she liked it! Jessina felt a bit restless inside; she hesitated for a moment but ultimately couldn't resist her fondness for the commemorative coin. "Ifia, do you intend to sell this commemorative coin? If you're willing to sell it, please sell it to me. I'm willing to offer 80 gold coins." Objectively speaking, Jessina's offer was not low. The value of a golden commemorative coin from Priscus Academy was sixty gold coins, with some minor fluctuations, but it rarely exceeded around seventy gold coins. One gold coin was equivalent to ten silver coins, and one silver coin was equal to a hundred copper coins! An ordinary civilian having eighty gold coins would mean financial freedom. However, Ifia shook her head and then snapped the glass box shut with a 'click,' smiling at Jessina and saying, "I'm sorry, Jessina. I want to give this commemorative coin to my best friend." Jessina was somewhat shocked by Ifia's words. She did not intend to sell it for money to improve her life, but to give it away directly? Ifia's generosity didn't look at all like that of a commoner. Perhaps her expression was too obvious, so Ifia felt the need to explain, "She has helped me a lot before. It's not tacky to give her this gift now." "Is she the noble friend you mentioned in the classroom before?" Jessina nodded as she looked at Ifia, feeling quite moved, but mostly her fondness for Ifia had increased. Unlike Britney, who despised and disgusted all commoners, Jessina had no issue with commoners exerting effort to improve their lives. Instead, she felt that those who were deceitful needed to be dealt with firmly. But Ifia, a commoner, was willing to give away a precious commemorative coin to a friend. Just based on this, she was definitely a person of noble character worth befriending! Furthermore, Ifia also admired Miss Barren, who was her stepsister. This was also Jessina’s stepsister! Sometimes, female friendships came out of the blue. After the exams, the next day, Jessina didn't pay any attention to the noble young ladies and directly inserted herself between Ifia and Lucy, gradually evolving into a trio on campus, always together no matter where they went. "Ifia, Lucy, it's a day off today. Do you want to go to Coliphine Street? I heard that some oriental spices have arrived there recently, and they're not expensive!" Ifia had been worried about how to purchase ingredients, so now, upon hearing the news Jessina provided, her apricot eyes immediately lit up. It was just at the right time! "I have to visit my injured cousin after the day off today, so I can't go with you guys." "It's okay, Lucy. I'll bring you a gift! Jessina, is there a blacksmith on Coliphine Street?" After consoling Lucy, Ifia immediately inquired of Jessina. If she was able to get iron forged, she wouldn't have to go anywhere else, directly solving the issue of spices and pots. Although she could also go to the streets near the poor district to buy cheap ingredients, these were to be given as a gift to Amelia, so she absolutely could not be careless! "Of course there is. Do you want to go?" "Mm." "That's great. But I have to ask you to accompany me to a place first. It's said to be very effective!" "?" Ifia was curious about where Jessina wanted to go. However, when they arrived at Coliphine Street after school, she was extremely shocked to see the colorful Gothic-style buildings with pointed hats. At the entrance of the houses, there were blackboards with the words: "Madeline's Divination House, Blessings and Exorcism, Specialized in Demons' Extermination~"
