Chapter 428: Final Exam Results
Hearing Black Cat Belle’s rare and earnest words, Jia Na listened attentively and couldn’t help but feel curious.
“Bei'er-sama, do you mean that apprentices who have mastered the Law Fragment will have other course arrangements at the White Tower?”
“Of course. After all, every Wizard Apprentice who has mastered a Law Fragment is equivalent to having obtained a pass to the path of a Formal Wizard—especially you, Jia Na-Luo Lan, your path is destined to be completely different from others.”
Upon hearing this, Jia Na nodded thoughtfully.
“Forget it, it’s up to you whether you listen or not. I’m going to sleep.”
Black Cat Belle, who had come to understand Jia Na’s character, knew in her heart that if it was something Jia Na herself didn’t approve of, no matter how much outsiders persuaded her, she would only listen and not be easily swayed.
What’s more, Jia Na’s diligence was well-known throughout White Coral Academy. Instead of advising her to rest at this time, it was better to let her continue at her own pace.
“Then I’ll be going, Miss Bei'er.”
“Go.”
After bidding farewell to Black Cat Belle, Jia Na, who had exchanged all the ritual materials, left the Magic Tower and returned to the dormitory building.
“Ding!” As the elevator door quickly opened, before Jia Na even reached her dormitory door, she heard the Door Spirit’s voice from afar.
“Miss Jia Na! You’re finally back!”
After several days of separation, the Door Spirit, seeing Jia Na return, was like a “loyal dog” waiting for its owner to come home, its entire emotions becoming exceptionally high-spirited.
“I’m back, Door Spirit. Has anyone come looking for me recently?”
“Yes, many people have come looking for you these past few days, such as Miss Bell-Moonshadow, Mr. Solo-Flame, Mr. Malo-Haige…”
Hearing the string of names reported by the Door Spirit, Jia Na couldn’t help but frown slightly.
“Did they say what they came to see me about?”
“They didn’t say—they left directly when they saw you weren’t in the dormitory.”
What could it be about—
Normally, besides Vivian, others generally wouldn’t specifically come to Jia Na’s dormitory to find her.
Most of the time, matters that a Wizard Apprentice could resolve through a messenger would not warrant a personal visit.
“Oh, by the way, Door Spirit, this is a small radio I brought back from Element Soul. It’s perfect for you when you’re bored.”
Saying that, Jia Na took out a golden, trumpet-shaped radio, about twenty centimeters tall, and handed it to the Door Spirit.
“Miss Jia Na, you—”
“Take it. The space inside the door should be enough for this small radio.”
Hearing Jia Na’s words, the Door Spirit no longer hesitated and happily accepted the second gift after the soul Crystal Jia Na had previously given him.
“Oh, and there’s one more thing I need to tell you in advance. The Dordogne-White Tower Trial will begin soon. After passing the trial, I might have to stay directly in Dordogne in the future—”
The moment Jia Na finished speaking, she could clearly feel the Door Spirit’s emotions shift “from top to bottom.”
However, since separation was already destined, according to Jia Na’s character, she didn’t want to drag it out until the last moment to tell him.
After all, time always dilutes everything…
“Bang!” After closing the dormitory door, Jia Na’s nerves, which had been taut for several days due to the Transformation Trial, finally relaxed at that instant.
At this moment, the only thing Jia Na wanted to do was quickly take off her clothes, then fill the Alchemy bathtub with hot water, and have a good relaxing bath.
“Knock, knock, knock—”
Just as Jia Na was about to take off her wizard robe, an urgent knocking sound suddenly echoed outside her dormitory window.
“Is it a Raven Messenger?”
Looking at the black figure with a square cloth bag slung over its shoulder outside the window, Jia Na quickly walked to the window and opened it.
“Caw—apprentice, this is a letter from the academy for you.”
Looking at the small envelope handed over by the Raven Messenger with its claw, Jia Na raised an eyebrow and then took the envelope.
“Thank you, Raven-sama—Oh, by the way, do you know if the Raven that delivered a letter to Element Soul a few days ago has returned yet?”
“You mean Duolulu? It came back a few days ago.”
Duolulu? So that Raven had a name?
Hearing the Raven in front of her refer to another Raven by name, Jia Na, who was learning for the first time that Ravens had names, her eyes widened slightly.
Because, from the very beginning, Jia Na had thought that all the Ravens in the school were merely clones of Headmaster Anthony-Black Sparrow’s Raven familiar, and besides a certain instinctual awareness, they wouldn’t possess independent thoughts.
“Raven-sama, may I ask what your name is?”
“You mean me? My name is Dululu.”
Dululu…
Listening to the other party’s reply, although Jia Na showed no expression on her face, she couldn’t help but find it somewhat amusing in her heart.
“Okay, thank you, Dululu-sama, for delivering the letter to me.”
“You’re welcome, apprentice.”
After delivering the academy letter, the Raven named Dululu flapped its wings and left Jia Na’s window.
“It’s a final exam report card.”
Looking at the sender information on the envelope, Jia Na closed the window, then walked to the experimental table and neatly tore open the envelope along the seal.
“Dear student Jia Na-Luo Lan,

—White Coral Wizard Academy & Anthony-Black Sparrow”
Looking at the string of “A+” excellent grades on the report card, and the “First Place in Grade” ranking which was an addition compared to last semester’s final report card, Jia Na’s face showed a satisfied smile.
“Nine courses—perhaps I really should rest appropriately, as Miss Bei'er said. Five compulsory and four elective courses—for a normal apprentice, this would simply be a fantasy.”
Moreover, Jia Na also had to make extra time on weekends to perform opera with the Nightingale Opera Troupe, and even her evenings were spent in deep meditation instead of daily sleep.
She let out a long breath, and after pondering for a moment, Jia Na put down the final exam report card in her hand.
Then she took off her wizard robe and began filling the Alchemy bathtub in the washroom with water.
“Forget it, I’ll just relax properly today—”
