Chapter 11: Geniuses Are Lonely
Avril leaned back on a cushion and covered herself with a quilt as she listened to Serena's account of a day at the Academy. Outside the window, in the lake, wild ducks and waterfowl swam under the trees to escape the pouring rain.
Serena said a bad word about Meiyi, and when she saw Avril covering her mouth and laughing, she said angrily: "Second princess, you are still laughing!" He's peeking at my panties, is there anyone more disgusting and obscene than that? β
Avril said calmly, "Nana, could there be any misunderstanding? You are now in a group, and you can always say anything clearly. In the past three years in the academy, you have been partners in life and death, don't make trouble because of misunderstandings, okay? β
Serena was just about to speak, when she saw Avril coughing twice, she hurriedly covered her with the quilt, sat beside her, and held her hand. When she thought that this gentle and intelligent second princess could only lie in bed, she felt unspeakably uncomfortable.
Outside the door, the Duchess saw Serena talking to herself, and her heart jumped in shock, and tears flowed down her face.

The next day's spiritual arts class, each group did training on the grass to control the spirits.
Xingchen recited a spell, and a purple spirit child immediately appeared around him. He stretched out his right hand, and Reisuke immediately became transparent and bright...... Well, it was the three beads on Reisuke that became transparent and shiny, and a thin, sizzling stream of lightning appeared in his hand.
Serena, Liuxi, and Meiyi's hair stood on end, and they immediately hid away.
Teacher Kritia looked at it and thought to herself: It is worthy of being the most talented among the students of this year, and she can already light up six spirit beads at such a young age. Meiyi, you're really lucky.
She said in class that Lingsuke is generally made up of twenty spirit beads, and the more spirit beads are lit, the more spirit beads can be controlled, the more power and use of spirit magic will naturally be, and it will have an advantage in hunting.
She walked up to Xingchen and said, "Xingchen, try to control this lightning with Reisuke, raise it, lower it, move it left and right, until you can control it proficiently, and don't think about unleashing the attack in between. β
After Liuxi chanted the mantra to activate the spirit child, a pale green spirit child appeared around his body. After lighting up Reisuke, a water balloon the size of a soccer ball appeared above her head. She tried to use Reisuke to control the water balloon, but the water ball didn't listen to the call and flew around in the air, and she had to chase it desperately.
Just when all the classmates were laughing, Teacher Kritia keenly noticed that the Reisuke hanging around Liuxi's neck was actually half brightened! She couldn't help but sigh that the goblins were so much better than the elves in relation to these forces of nature.
When she saw Serena holding a wind ball on her fingertips, she was frightened. She couldn't help but ask Serena, "Serena, have you studied spiritual magic before?" Your control is just amazing. β
Serena said proudly: "Well, I used to watch my eldest lady practice, and I would secretly follow the practice. But don't worry, teacher, I know that practicing spiritual arts before the age of fifteen is very damaging to the body, and it is only practiced occasionally, please keep it secret for me, Madame and Miss don't know. β
Kritia nodded, and after leaving, her eyes were full of regret.
Serena, do you know why you can't practice psiloy before the age of fifteen? It's because that would seriously overdraft your potential. Although your spirit beads, like the stars, have lit up six, you will basically not have more than ten in this life.
The wind spirit arts, which were already in a weak position, could no longer light up all the spirit beads, and they couldn't pass the green vein test at all, so they couldn't be a spirit magician.
Kritia walked over to Mei Yi and watched with interest as the human in history, probably the only human with psychic blood, was using psychic magic there. It's not just her who is curious, but the other groups are basically staring at Meiyi.
Mei Yi recited a spell of ice spirit magic, and the ice-blue spirit son was like a mist, instantly surrounding the students present. Everyone, including Ms. Kritia, was shocked: what was going on? Where did such a terrifying amount of spirit come from?
The other students can basically only activate a small piece of spirit around their bodies.
Just as everyone was amazed, Serena's face changed suddenly, she ran over quickly, grabbed Meiyi's hand, and took off his bracelet, and all the fog disappeared. She yelled at Meiyi, "Big fool! Are you reciting the spell of Ice Primer Spirit? β
"yes." As soon as Mei Yi finished speaking, the whole person seemed to be drained, and fell to the ground softly, and then felt that she couldn't breathe.
Serena was stunned for a moment, and then asked viciously, "What is the 'Ling' of the ice cream technique I am talking about...... It's ......" She lacked vocabulary and couldn't think of what words to group at once, she stared at her eyes in a hurry, and saw that Liuxi was still chasing the water balloon there, and inspiration flashed, "It's the 'Ling' in the sky!" β
Mei Yi said, "I'm talking about the 'spirit' of the gods......"
Serena roared, "Great fool! Didn't you listen to the teacher? When you first started learning spiritual arts, you had to recite the introductory spiritual spell, and you recited the incantation of the ultimate ice spiritual art, and now you use the !! that will kill people Big fool! Big fool! Big fool! β
After hearing Serena's roar, Liuxi stopped chasing and hugged the water balloon. The balloon then dispersed into water, drenching her skirt. She ran to Meiyi's side and was about to launch a "miracle" when she was stopped by Serena.
"Liuxi, leave him alone, let this big fool reflect on himself!"
Liuxi promised to listen to the team leader's words yesterday, so he had to hang his hand helplessly and look at Mei Yi helplessly. Meiyi lay on the ground, apologizing weakly to the angry Serena.
Teacher Kritia watched all this silently, and did not step forward to stop her, she thought to herself: Serena, maybe the teacher is wrong. Perhaps, your spiritual abilities will be mediocre in this life. However, as long as you can control your three teammates, the possibilities for your group are endless.
After Mei Yi recovered, he recited the spell of the Ice Cream Technique, and an ice-blue spirit appeared around him. He tries to control Reiko with Reisuke, trying to condense them into the shape of ice cubes, but fails. He changed places a lot, but each time he failed, and a pile of ice slag fell on the floor.
Serena sneered, "Everywhere you go, you will lose scum." β
Teacher Kritia was a little disappointed when she saw that Mei Yi only lit up with two spirit beads. She had thought that this incredible student would bring miracles. After thinking about it, Mei Yi is a human after all, and her compatibility with spiritual magic is very poor, and it is already good to be able to light two, compared to those elves who can only light one.
Until school at noon, Meiyi still failed to condense an ice cube.
Xingchen and Liuxi tried to help Meiyi several times, but they were stopped by Serena. Serena, who had a bad taste, wanted to look at Mei Yi for a while longer. It wasn't until school was out that Serena reluctantly put away her gloating gaze and forced Xingchen and Liuxi to leave together.
She walked down the road, humming happily. As soon as she thought of Mei Yi's self-consolation words such as "the road of genius is more difficult to walk than mortals" and "geniuses are lonely", she felt extremely happy.
Just as Meiyi was working hard, a familiar voice sounded in her ears: "Meiyi, are you still practicing?" It's already out of school. β
As soon as Mei Yi saw that it was Qiluo, she touched her head and said with an embarrassed smile: "Haha, the class task was not completed, and I want to practice for a while." Forget it, let's eat first. You wait for me, I'll go buy something to eat. β
Qiluo hurriedly said: "You don't have to buy it, I have a lot of them from home today." I'll give you a box. With that, she took out two large glass lunch boxes from her backpack, which were filled with all kinds of delicious and delicate cakes.
Mei Yi couldn't walk anymore when he saw it, he swallowed a mouthful of saliva, sat down on the bench, and took the lunch box handed over by Qiluo with a smile: "That's so embarrassing." β
Kira chuckled, "You're not embarrassed. By the way, the monthly exam is going to be held next week, how are you preparing? Grammar, rhetoric, and theology are fine, but math is too hard. β
Mei Yi said: "I'm okay, it should be no problem to pass...... I've been pretty good on my last few math weekly tests, and I can teach you if you don't mind. β
Qiluo was so happy when she heard that she couldn't take care of eating, so she took out the test paper from her schoolbag, "Great, you can teach me." If I don't do well in the exam, my mother will definitely talk about me again. β

Serena devoured her meal in the academy cafeteriaβyes, there is a restaurant in the academy, but Mei Yi doesn't have the money to spend here, so the appearance rate is almost zeroβShi Shiran walked towards the spiritual practice ground, wanting to laugh at Mei Yi again.
By the way, let's teach him again, it's also a group anyway, and if he drags his feet too much, it's not good for me, the team leader. She was just about to leave, and when she thought about Meiyi nibbling on those coarse black breads all day, she said, "Please bring me another strawberry cream cake, it's bigger." β
Let it be an alms given to him.
Serena jumped to the spiritual practice ground behind the teaching building, imagining Meiyi's expression of gratitude to herself after learning to condense Lingzi and eating the cake, and her heart was extremely cool.
When she saw Meiyi and Kira sitting on the bench, eating strawberry cream cake together, talking and laughing happily, her heart suddenly cooled. She stood dumbfounded for a moment, then turned to leave, throwing the cake in her hand into the trash.
