Cultivators at the Wizarding Academy

Chapter 173 The High Nun with Lifetime Honor

Taeya participated in the qualifying rounds, but unfortunately, she was eliminated in the first round. She didn't seem too bothered by it. After leaving the competition area, she searched everywhere for Taean.

"Huh! Where did it run off to again..."

In Zone Two, Grinfield faces off against Vasia, a senior student from the same academy. A battle of fire and ice ensues, as a greatsword of blazing flames clashes against a greatsword of azure frost.

In terms of raw strength, Grenfell has not yet reached a true formal class, and his physical attributes are completely inferior. Perhaps his combat skills and willpower can surpass his opponent, but ultimately he still narrowly lost to him.

The first round of elimination wasn't just for two people.

Both Fu and Leona were defeated because they were not well prepared for their first ranked match and underestimated the weakening effect of daytime on undead creatures, which led to their defenses being easily breached.

Lei Siqi refused to participate, citing that she had not learned enough magic to adapt to different situations.

Schneier, who participated in the competition, was completely overwhelmed by the absolute strength of the opponent. Unfortunately, he was matched with Sophie, the top student of the Mage Division, and faced a barrage of attacks, ultimately losing.

Keberville, skilled in both magic and martial arts, shone brightly and defeated the third-year students from the Archer Division.

With that, the first round of ranking battles ended, and it was nearly noon.

The Wizarding Academy audience seats.

Tai'an patiently shared the shaping techniques for Dawn's Tears with the lolis. It's not just about the superficial appearance; the key is the internal structure.

"Xiao An, you should have told me sooner, otherwise I wouldn't have lost." Leona puffed out her rosy cheeks after seeing Silvermoon use the absolute defense effect of Dawn's Tear.

"I'm so angry, it's all your fault." Fu waved her little fist and patted Tai'an's back.

"It's okay, ranked matches are held once a month, we can win it back next time."

Tai'an sat calmly with one on each side, one kneeling and the other leaning against his back. A contented smile graced his face; he was in a very good mood.

Violet Academy does not have a rule prohibiting students from dating early. As long as they do not do anything immoral in public, the instructors will mostly turn a blind eye.

Tai'an didn't want to attract too much attention, so he set up a barrier around the area that blocked sound and distorted light. Although one could still sense the general activity inside, it was much better than seeing it directly.

At noon, the gathering was held at Atayal's dormitory.

It's worth mentioning that the young lady currently has three maids: Lanlan, Alia, and Anne, an orphan from the Flower Convent.

The latter, selected through fierce competition and multiple rounds of screening, demonstrates her exceptional talent. In appearance, she resembles a delicate porcelain doll, with flawless, snow-white skin. Her flaxen hair is complemented by a black and white maid's uniform. She was once the signature style of High Sister Grace when entertaining important figures.

Tai'an glanced around briefly, then looked away.

While Taiya was socializing with the noble girls, he slipped into her bedroom and unceremoniously flopped onto the bed. He closed his eyes and cleared his mind.

Eisenhower Apartments.

The corridor was empty and silent.

Most of the convent girls left with the migrating group, leaving only a handful behind.

Xiaoyu bought lunch outside and placed it on the bedside table next to the hospital bed.

"Elena! Time to eat."

"Will the young master come at noon today?" The girl's eyes were vacant, and her face showed undisguised melancholy.

"I guess so!"

Little Fish had heard from her brother Gus that today was the monthly ranking battle. Given the distance from the arena to here, there was no reason for Tai'an not to make the trip.

The facts completely matched Xiaoyu's guess.

Tai'an's figure appeared at some point, beside the curtains fluttering in the wind. He pretended to grab Elaine's wrist and check her body, but in reality, he just touched her all over.

"Bear with me for a little longer. Once I've mastered the art of weaving life, I'll help you repair your body."

"And then, what are your plans for me?"

Tai'an hesitated for a moment, then said, "The two of you will come with me back to the Wizarding Academy."

The remaining people certainly couldn't be allowed to travel back to their territory alone; they had to be assigned to various properties throughout the capital to serve as attendants and assistants to the Blue Rose's people, handling miscellaneous tasks.

Tai'an plans to provide a trainee maid position, with Xiaoyu nominally appointed as the head maid.

"I can be the head maid!" Little Fish's face was filled with joy and disbelief.

"Hmm! It's just temporary..." Tai An said seriously, giving the girl his age a gentle pat on the head.

"Young Master, thank you for your trust."

The little fish expresses its gratitude by giving a sweet kiss.

Tai'an's serious expression faltered instantly. He cleared his throat and asked, "How's your sister's shop doing?"

"Ye Zi! She's moving very quickly, preparing to open the shop on Saturday the 1st."

"Not bad, very good..."

Elaine watched the two leave the ward with a puzzled expression.

The Florence Nursery School underwent a major renovation.

From now on, it will no longer be a place of filth and depravity. Even its former name will cease to exist. The name "Blue Rose" speaks volumes about its resolve.

Their main business has shifted to elderly care, schools, and psychological counseling, charging reasonable fees. With the Blue Rose family as a powerful backer, they are guaranteed to continue operating.

After spending half a month together, Hua Yun gained everyone's trust and naturally became the High Nun. Even though she repeatedly emphasized that it was only a temporary position, it couldn't change people's acceptance. It was simply a matter of adding a lifelong honorary title before the title of High Nun.

Hua Yun led the newly arrived Tai'an to a secluded corner.

"Hey, you're moving everyone out, how are you going to arrange things?"

"The capital is overrun with materialism and not suitable for quiet cultivation. It's better to return to the north. There are only a little over a hundred people in total, and supporting them all would only cost one gold tael a month."

"You're deciding to support them for life? There will be a constant stream of new people in the future!"

"I will encourage them to work and find meaning in their lives, starting with learning and mastering a skill. I can afford the expenses for at least a few years. Then, it will be their turn to give back. The pioneers will inspire the followers, forming a virtuous cycle."

Hua Yun stared blankly at Tai An, who was speaking confidently and eloquently: "It's so good to be rich!"

If you think it's not good, you can give suggestions.

"I have no objection, I just want to tell you that many girls like you and want to have your children."

After a long silence, Tai'an replied, "I'm perfectly normal, and I don't dislike women."

"Oh, you mean everyone is willing to accept it?"

"Of course not, I can't satisfy too many women. There are at least some requirements. Purity is the key, then there's conforming to my aesthetic standards, and finally, obedience..."

The black-haired older woman gently pressed down on the boy's head, whispering softly, "How long will it take you to learn how to weave your life?"

"It's going to be tough!" the boy said with a muffled nasal tone. "It'll probably take at least another month! Maybe even longer..."

"After you learn how to weave life, what do you want to do?" Hua Yun asked, slightly increasing the pressure in her hands.

"Saving people is the priority, fulfilling my promise, and then..."
