The Queen of Scrolls never admits defeat

Qu Luo frantically tried to find an excuse to refuse, wishing she could immediately teleport back to her dormitory and bury herself under the covers.

Teacher Meiye looked at the two of them and shook her head helplessly: "The monthly sparring session is the rule. As for whether to increase the frequency, that's up to you to negotiate. Today's sparring session is over. You can arrange your own time from now on!"

Seeing Qu Luo nod repeatedly, Mo Lan knew she couldn't push her too hard; the girl was too shy. "Alright then~ let's do as the teacher said, once a month! If you want it more frequently, be sure to contact me!"

Qu Luo: "..." She just hoped that the next sparring session would never come.

Time flew by amidst the frantic studying, reading, and exchanging ideas.

Finally, on this day, Moran passed the final exam of the last course listed in her initial course selection form with excellent grades.

Moran mastered and integrated a course that might take an average person five years to complete, in just two years.

It's that time of the month again for my monthly sparring session with Qu Luo.

Moran and Qu Luo arrived at the training ground at the same time and started fighting without saying a word.

After so many encounters, the two were well aware of each other's strength and fighting style.

Qu Luo did indeed take the advice and enrolled in several basic combat courses. With systematic guidance, her control over her body and the weapons in her hands was now completely different from before.

During sparring sessions, he can control his strength and timing, both delivering exquisite teamwork to help Moran hone his skills and knowing when to hold back at crucial moments.

Although he still apologized while fighting to the death as before, he was no longer worried about accidentally killing Moran. The psychological pressure was much less, and he was able to try some tactical arrangements.

As usual, the two had a great fight under Teacher Meiye's supervision, consciously using and honing their newly acquired skills.

After the exchange, Moran wiped the sweat from her brow and said to Teacher Mei Ye and Qu Luo, "For the next period of time, I may need to ask for leave to explore and practice in the school's mirror space."

After so many lessons, it's time to put what I've learned to use and hunt some Mirror Beasts. It'll also be a good opportunity to try extracting and fusing new beast core skills.

Only she knew that hunting mirror beasts and extracting skills were just excuses.

In the past two years, Qu Luo has been her stable "material supplier," providing her with a lot of special magical plants and mirror beast materials from various mirror spaces in the school.

Moran herself also consciously bought a lot at the school market.

Aside from the extremely rare ones, she already possesses almost all the materials available in the school's mirror space, enabling her to craft corresponding cards using the Card Book.

The beast cores that have been analyzed and studied range from one-star to nine-star.

Even without hunting Mirror Beasts and extracting skills, she can easily unleash a whole host of high-level skills, each one surpassing her current apparent level.

She has reached the pinnacle of both witchcraft and magecraft in this world, and has also mastered most of the martial arts techniques taught by the teachers at Mirror Ruins University. She has read most of the books in the library that are useful to her, and secretly copied down the ones she couldn't finish reading. Now, only the exploration and research of the "Masterless Mirror Space" remains, which has yet to be carried out.

Having taken so many classes and read so many books, Moran is now considered a theoretical expert in mirrorless spaces; all she lacks is practical experience. Next, she will search for mirrorless spaces, become a mirror master, and put all the knowledge she has gained over the past two years into practice.

This trip has no end date in sight, and if all goes well, there is a high possibility that he will return directly to the Valen world and become a missing person in the Three Thousand Mirror Ruins world. Therefore, after asking Teacher Meiye for leave, Moran also wrote a cryptic farewell letter to his teachers and classmates who are still in contact with him in this world.

The letter did not reveal the specific destination, only stating that it would be a long exploration with an uncertain return date. It expressed gratitude for past teachings and friendship, and wished each other well.

After doing all this, Moran took one last look around the dormitory where she had lived for nearly two years. Her gaze was calm, without any lingering attachment.

The next moment, she resolutely activated the mirror emblem and teleported to the school's Mirror Hall.

This place is like a giant transportation hub, with countless portals of different sizes and dazzling lights arranged in an orderly manner, each portal leading to a resource-type mirror space owned by Mirror Ruins University.

From the lowest level of one star to the highest level of nine stars, all portals are open to students of this school free of charge, demonstrating the school's profound heritage.

Moran walked straight toward one of the golden doors leading to the "Golden Oasis," a large mirror space of eight stars.

The owner of this mirror space is named Huang Yao. He also serves as a lecturer at Mirror Ruins University, teaching two courses: "The Self-Cultivation of the Mirror Owner" and "Advanced Development and Management of Mirror Space".

Moran was also an outstanding student in both courses.

Teacher Huang Yao's talent for exploring mirrors wasn't particularly high. After becoming the master of the Golden Oasis, his mental energy was so heavy that he couldn't even use high-star skills, so naturally he didn't have the spare energy to recognize another mirror space as his master.

He took a different approach, focusing most of his energy on detailed monitoring of the Golden Oasis. With his master's authority and deep understanding of space, whenever he detected unusual fluctuations in a certain part of the territory that resembled an entrance to a space without a master mirror, he would explore the area, record the relevant information, and sell it at a fixed price.

Depending on the "value" of the information, the price can vary drastically.

Information about the entrance to a large mirror space with detailed location and exact opening method is considered a rare find. It is usually sold directly to schools or large, well-funded mirror exploration organizations, or exchanged with other mirror owners for resources, making it extremely valuable.

Information about the entrances to small to medium-sized mirror spaces with detailed locations and exact opening methods is considered premium information and is sold to wealthy school teachers or high-profile mirror explorers.

Information containing only the detailed location of a Mirror Space entrance but without instructions on how to open it is considered cheap information. It is repeatedly sold to students and low-level Mirror Explorers who aspire to become Mirror Masters but lack resources and want to try their luck, at a low price of 10,000 Mirror Coins per message.

For sellers, the first two types are high-profit premium items, with each message sold only once. The last type, low-priced messages, although low in unit price, are abundant and have a stable output. By relying on "small profits but quick turnover," they can also generate a very considerable income.

In her course on the Mirror Master, Moran heard many teachers, including Professor Huang Yao himself, enthusiastically praising this excellent approach to "monetizing resources."

She even got to know several other "masters" who also "made a fortune" by selling such information.

However, news of rare and exquisite items always falls short of demand.

Moran waited patiently for two years, but still failed to successfully purchase any confirmation message that included instructions on how to activate the device. (End of Chapter)
