Chapter 604 World 62
Stella wasn't lying at all, because she was among the elves and hadn't had time to send the message yet, so naturally no one in the fairy race knew about it.
But if you look closely, not many elves know about it, and Catherine is still ranked at the top.
But that's not how you should put it. At least for now, Catherine is happy, and that's enough.
"Stella, you've come of age. Does that mean you'll soon be traveling across the continent?"
“I think so,” Stella replied generously, “but the specific date will have to be decided by the elders.”
“It’s alright,” Catherine stood up excitedly. “Stella, let’s go to the magic academy together!”
"The recommendation letter for admission isn't difficult; my father can write one. Would you like to help me?"
Stella is also considering this issue, but she hasn't fully decided yet.
Seeing that she had a chance, Catherine called Stella's name repeatedly.
Stella rubbed her ears: "I can't decide for myself. Let me ask someone?"
Seeing that she was about to persuade her again, Stella quickly said, "No fairy or elf has ever gone to a human magic academy before. If I were to go, I would be the first."
Catherine stopped trying to persuade her; she could understand the first person to say something like that.
This is no longer just a personal decision.
After losing contact with Catherine, Stella thought for a moment, then transformed back into her former self and flew to the next house.
The Elf King was drinking tea when he saw her come in and poured her a cup himself.
Stella sat on her small sofa, holding her cup, and took a leisurely sip before telling Catherine about her invitation to study at the magic academy together.
The Elf King put down his cup: "Do you want to go?"
“I’m still hesitating,” Stella said, “If I don’t go, I should be able to come back relatively quickly. If I go with them, I’m afraid I’ll have to stay away for many years.”
"Does the King think I should go?"
“Follow your heart, Stella,” said the Elf King. “You already have an idea, don’t you?”
“Well, you’re always right, King,” Stella thought, though she was definitely more inclined not to go.
Although being with Catherine would offer more opportunities, the magic academy is currently too impractical for Stella.
Stella's current skill level is such that many teachers might not be able to beat her, let alone teach her.
While it may sound arrogant, given that her guide is the Elf King, among humans, only the current God of Magic can offer Stella some guidance; others are not qualified.
The best thing about being classmates with Catherine is being able to observe the plot up close, but Stella doesn't need that.
Many of the things she does are not to conform to the plot, but to break it.
As for the fact that being the first fairy to enroll could play a significant role in establishing diplomatic relations between fairies, elves, and humans, neither Stella nor the Elf King mentioned it.
Even without Stella, there can be Damian and Lucas. As sub-adults, they can interact more freely with other underage magicians.
Of course, if a choice really had to be made, given the close connection between the Holy Magic Academy and the Temple of Light, Lucas would certainly be the more suitable option.
“If we’re talking about teachers,” Stella said, her eyes fixed on the Elf King, “besides the teachers in my tribe, the King is the only teacher I acknowledge.”
The Elf King paused, then corrected her: "I am your guide, not your teacher."
“Alright, I’ll listen to the king,” Stella said. She didn’t understand what the difference was between the two, apart from the title, but since the Elf King wanted to say it that way, she naturally listened to him.
Having decided not to go to the magic academy, Stella quickly told Catherine the news.
Catherine assumed this was a decision made by the fairy race, and although she was disappointed, she expressed her understanding.
Stella comforted her, "When I travel to the continent, you will definitely be going out a lot too, and we will still be able to see each other often."
“You’re right,” Catherine said, perking up again. “I heard that the magic academy will be issuing missions. We can arrange it in advance, and wherever you go, I’ll take on a mission nearby.”
"You can make friends and complete tasks at the same time, and you'll also get a points reward at the end."
Stella saw that she was having a good time calculating, so she didn't interrupt and just listened to her while resting her chin on her hand.
By the time they reluctantly said goodbye, the moon was already high in the night sky.
Stella looked at the moon outside the window and suddenly wondered if Reed and the others had received the letter she had sent.
They were fairies born in the same batch, and reached adulthood around the same time. They went on a journey together. After returning, they stayed in the fairy lands, either as teachers or as members of the guard. None of them could leave at any time.
So the last time they met was when a new batch of fairy cubs came to the Fairy Amusement Park for the first time. The elders specially arranged for them to be together, which gave them that one opportunity.
Stella was thinking about her friends whom she hadn't seen in a long time when she suddenly heard a soft crackling sound.
Stella sat up straight immediately, but the voice never rang out again.
Stella went to the window but found nothing unusual. Still feeling uneasy, she went to the mother tree.
On the branch of the mother tree, the lazy fruit was still hanging there, perfectly fine.
Just as Stella was relieved and about to leave, she stopped and went back to take a closer look.
Is there a small crack at the top of the fruit where it connects to the branch?
Stella cast a light spell on her fingertips and discovered that she hadn't misjudged the situation. In fact, the crack had even grown slightly larger under Stella's gaze.
Stella was momentarily at a loss for what expression to make.
Under normal circumstances, once the elf cub has grown to a certain extent inside the fruit, the nutrients it can obtain decrease and its growth is restricted, so it will break out of the fruit on its own. Even if it does not give birth prematurely, the basic nutrients provided by the mother tree to the fruit will still be there when it is "ripe".
But the person in front of me clearly doesn't fall into that category.
Judging from the cracks at the joint, the mother tree has basically run out of nutrients to provide for the fruit, and now it's just trying to get the fruit to be born on its own as soon as possible.
It can only be said that being forced into this state by the mother tree is truly unique.
Stella flew down and found the fruit fast asleep, so she simply went back to find the king.
The baby elf is being rushed into birth; let its guide come and pick it up himself. This water-type elf is so lazy; I wonder what name we'll have to give it to keep it in check.
