The Queen of Scrolls never admits defeat

Chapter 811 Three Thousand Mirror Ruins 78
As soon as Moran stepped onto the smooth, reflective floor of the third floor of the Hundred Arts Building, she immediately felt a spatial fluctuation beside her.

She subconsciously turned her head and saw that the girl who had sat next to her at the freshman registration desk yesterday had also arrived.

The girl lowered her head the moment she saw her, nervously clutching the hem of her clothes, looking as if she wanted to shrink into the wall.

Moran's eyes lit up, and she greeted him with a bright smile: "Hi! What a coincidence! We actually teleported here at almost the same time."

The girl shrank back like a startled rabbit, her head drooping even lower, her face almost invisible except for the tips of her slightly reddened ears.

She gave a mumbled, almost inaudible "hmm".

When Moran saw her, she was reminded of Vasita at the Witch Academy's entrance ceremony years ago, except that Vasita was starving, while this classmate seemed to be genuinely socially awkward.

Moran leaned closer, tilting her head to try and see the other person's expression: "My name is Moran, what's your name?"

"Qu...Qu Luo..." The girl's voice was as soft as a mosquito's buzz, as if saying even one more word would exhaust all her strength.

"Qu Luo? That sounds beautiful!" Moran readily complimented.

Qu Luo: "Th...thank you."

Seeing her wishing she could disappear on the spot, Moran finally couldn't help but laugh out loud and stopped teasing her: "Okay, okay, I won't scare you anymore. Is classroom 307 this way? Let's go!"

As she spoke, she took the lead and walked towards the direction of the corridor sign.

Qu Luo seemed to have been freed from the spell, secretly letting out a sigh of relief. She glanced hesitantly at Moran's back, but finally took small steps, looking down at Moran's heels, like a little tail, silently following behind Moran and trying to keep a little distance.

The two arrived at the square full-length mirror marked "Classroom 307" and walked through the mirror one after the other.

Inside was a small room that resembled a reception room, where a short-haired female teacher who looked to be around thirty years old was sitting in a corner of the sofa drinking tea.

Hearing the noise, Mei Ye raised her head.

Moran quickly greeted, "Hello, teacher!"

Qu Luo followed in a soft, barely audible voice: "Hello, teacher!"

Mei Ye nodded and said succinctly, "Sit down! Materials!"

The two quickly sat down on the sofa to the side, and almost simultaneously took out the prepared course selection intention book and the study schedule for the month from their respective mirror badges, and handed them over with both hands.

The moment they handed it over, they both subconsciously glanced at what the other was holding, and then paused in surprise at the same time.

The stack of papers in the other person's hand was quite thick.

Teacher Mei took the materials and saw their unusually thick thickness. A barely perceptible hint of satisfaction flashed in her eyes. It seemed that both of these gifted students were very serious about their studies.

However, when she turned to the first page and saw Qu Luo's course selection form, her relief instantly froze, turning into astonishment. The form listed only one course—"Guide to Exploring the Dark Canyon."

In the section for reasons for selection, it is written in clear and neat handwriting: "Mirror space is the best classroom, and practical exploration is the best training."

Teacher Mei Ye silently pushed up her glasses, looked up at Qu Luo who was practically shrinking into the sofa cushions: "...You're only planning to take this one course?"

Her voice remained steady, but it betrayed a clear sense of bewilderment.

Qu Luo nodded nervously, her fingers twisting the hem of her clothes tightly.

Teacher Mei took a deep breath, suppressing the urge to rub her temples. If it weren't for the outrageously detailed monthly study schedule that Qu Luo had attached, precisely planning every hour for this one tutoring class, self-cultivation, and ample time for independent exploration of the mirror space, she would have really thought that this child was simply unwilling to attend classes in crowded places because of social anxiety.

For students in the gifted youth program, the school requires mentors to grant them maximum freedom, but necessary reminders and responsibilities must be provided.

She pointed to the course, her tone becoming more serious: "Qu Luo, the 'Dark Canyon' mirror space is a four-star mirror space! Although there are mostly three-star mirror beasts inside, the probability of four-star mirror beasts appearing is definitely not low! Your current strength is three-star level two. Isn't it too risky to explore a four-star mirror space now?"

The huge energy gap between three-star and four-star makes it very difficult to achieve a challenge that exceeds the level of the star.

Moreover, a four-star level nine is still a four-star, and even at the same star level, mirror beasts are generally stronger than humans in combat.

Upon hearing the questions about strength and risk, Qu Luo, who had been keeping her head down, suddenly raised her head.

Although her cheeks were still flushed and she dared not look directly at Mei Ye, her tone was unusually firm, filled with undeniable confidence: "I can do it!"

Looking at Qu Luo's unusually firm, even somewhat stubborn, gaze, Mei Ye ultimately said nothing more.

At the beginning of the semester, everyone lacks understanding of each other, so too much interference is not good. Whether some arrangements are reasonable or not, they need to experience them firsthand and encounter setbacks before they can make adjustments willingly.

She simply reminded him in a calm tone: "Remember, act within your capabilities. If you encounter danger that you cannot handle, use the Mirror Emblem's emergency teleportation back to school function immediately. Your own safety is the top priority."

Qu Luo nodded vigorously, then quickly lowered her head, as if the confidence she had just felt had exhausted all her courage.

She really prefers dominating the world in the mirror space to interacting with people.

Mei Ye then picked up Moran's course selection form.

Upon handling it, its substantial weight made her heart skip a beat. But when she opened the first page and saw the densely packed course titles, she instinctively breathed a sigh of relief—thankfully, at least this child seemed humble, eager to learn, and taking a steady approach!
However, when she turned the page, she found that there was more... and when she turned the page again, there was more... She turned several pages in a row, and before she could completely relax, she suddenly felt her breath rise again, even more than before.

In her more than ten years of teaching, she had never seen such a long course selection form!
While others select courses by the "subject," Moran's course selection is practically measured by the "sheets"! The sheer volume of these sheets could easily be mistaken for a course catalog.

Mei Ye pushed up her glasses and quickly scanned the course titles in disbelief, discovering that they covered almost all courses related to martial arts practice, finding and exploring the masterless mirror space, and the management and development of mirror spaces, and even a few niche courses on mirror beast cooking.

She looked up at Moran, her tone incredulous: "You... you selected all the courses related to martial arts, exploration of the unowned mirror space, and the mirror master?"
