"Baby, why do you think about taking every pretty girl you see home to sleep with? That's a mindset only a gold digger would have~~"

Emerald first said a few words to Julia while she was stunned, then put her index finger to Julia's lips:

“I’m not lying to you, baby. Beth isn’t a toy I brought home. She’s a new employee at Blue Star Films, and a junior to you, my heroine. She’ll be helping people in the Golden District of Sphinx, just like you.”

"Huh? Huh? Huh? Huh? Huh?"

Yulia then showed a surprised expression and made a silly sound:

"Really? Really?"

"Of course it's true."

Amelie smiled and pinched Julia's cheek:

“Darling, think about it. Although I sometimes go to brothels, it’s mostly to entertain or accompany friends. And even when I do go, I just eat snacks and watch the song and dance performances. At most, I’ll patronize Sisi and Anna. I’ll never touch the girls in the brothel. So I’m not going to make a special trip to Drunken Red House just for a woman.”

"Secondly..."

Emerald then pointed at Beth:

"This Miss Beth is not a staff member of Drunken Red Pavilion, nor is she some other random girl. She is the daughter of one of the candidates for the next president of our Federation, and also a student at the Federation Noble Girls' Academy. In a way, she is my junior."

“Honey, you’re becoming more and more famous now, aren’t you? Of course, there are quite a few girls who admire you and even want to be heroes like you.”

“Miss Beth is such a girl, and her father served in the Federation’s anti-demonic forces for several years before becoming governor. He had many heroic deeds when he was young, and Miss Beth is as brave as her father.”

“Miss Beth longs to help everyone like you, but she doesn’t have your fighting talent and strength. She can’t do it on her own, so she wants to seek my help so that I can train her to be a hero like you, or perhaps she can receive guidance from you, her senior.”

"Unfortunately, although Miss Beth is my junior, I had already graduated when she enrolled, so she didn't know me and couldn't find me directly. Fortunately, her mother and Miss Lian are friends, so she asked Miss Lian to act as a go-between and introduce us."

"After observing her, I thought it was okay for her to try pursuing her dreams, so I brought her home... But you wronged me, baby... Waaah, my heart aches so much!"

As she spoke, Amelie made a gesture reminiscent of Xi Shi clutching her heart, which was quite pitiful.

"Oh, right, right, right... I'm sorry! I misunderstood you!"

Julia looked ashamed halfway through the conversation and immediately apologized after Emery finished speaking.

"Why don't you punish me, Emerald? You can stomp on me like you punished Sissi, or tie me up and hang me up like you punished Anna."

"...Idiot, do you think I was punishing them?"

Emerald rolled her eyes, then grabbed Julia's hand and pressed it against the spot where she was pretending to be in pain:

"Since you know you were wrong, darling, then as punishment, you'll have to gently massage this painful spot for me. Be gentle, okay?"

"Waaah, I know."

Yulia obediently did as instructed, but after thinking for a moment, she asked:

"But... that doesn't make sense either. If you brought this Miss Beth back as a new employee, why did you carry her into the bedroom when she's unconscious?"

Wow, has your super brain finally turned on this time?

Amelie glanced at Julia's head with a strange expression. This simple question posed no challenge to her; she answered naturally:

"Because I took her for a physical examination... Since she wants to be a hero, I should at least know her strength, willpower, and potential, right? She pushed herself to the limit in the willpower test, and then fainted from the exhaustion of the physical fitness test, so I carried her back to the room, intending to heal her myself with holy magic or ask Sisi to do it, and then you suddenly came back."

"Is...is that so?"

Amelie's explanation was reasonable, and Julia immediately believed it, asking curiously:

"What about Miss Beth's talent? Can she become a hero?"

"...Her talent is very average, she can't compare to you at all, my darling."

Emery immediately showed a look of regret:

"If she were to become a hero, she'd probably only be able to help ordinary people. She'd likely be defeated by any slightly capable villains, and then... with her figure and looks, the next time we see her would probably be in a brothel."

"How could this be?"

Yulia immediately showed a worried expression:

"Can you help her, Emerald?"

"Of course, don't worry, baby."

Amelie's regret turned into a smile:

"Although her own combat talent is not very good, her willpower is still good, and she also has a heart that wants to become a hero, which is enough."

"As for her strength, I will design a powerful new set of equipment for her. Honey, you can give her some special training, and there shouldn't be any problems."

"After all... she's going to be active in Sphinx, which is the capital of the Federation. At most, there are only petty thieves there. Real big bad guys wouldn't dare to cause trouble there. Otherwise, they could refer to what Machira went through."

"Hmm, I understand... Alright, I'll personally train her well and make sure she becomes a qualified hero. She's my first junior!"

Yulia got a little fired up.

Because of Julia's jealous interference, Amelie didn't get to eat her snacks today, but it's not a big deal. She can just eat her main meal; Julia will feed her.

The next morning, when Beth woke up groggily, she had no recollection of what had happened the day before.

She had no idea about going to Lily of the Valley for a checkup. She only remembered being carried home by Emerald and then only taking one hit before... Guh, was she really that weak?

Lost in thought, Beth got dressed, opened the door, and followed the aroma of food to the dining room, only to find Amelie and Julia both there, flirting and teasing each other.

...Ugh, did I come at the wrong time?

Beth wanted to sneak back to her room, but she had already been discovered.

Emerald first removed Julia from her body, then casually beckoned to Beth:

“Come on, Beth, I’ve witnessed your determination to become a hero, and I’ve told Yulia about it. Today, you can start training with Yulia, and I’ll design a set of equipment just for you.”

What? The determination to become a hero? Do I even have that?

A clear, bewildered look appeared in Beth's eyes.

Seeing this, Emery sighed inwardly, then secretly established a link with Beth's soul using the invisible ribbon, and transmitted her own interpretation of Beth's character to her:

"These are your character settings as a magical girl hero. Remember them, and play them well... If you have any questions, just keep them to yourself."

'Setting...character setting? Like that for actors?'

Beth reacted fairly quickly, but she lacked confidence:

'But...but I don't have the skills of the drama club seniors...what if I don't perform well in any part?'

Even if you can't act well, act well. Think about your goals.

Emery's voice in Beth's mind was quite cold:

"I don't care about anything else, but if Yulia sees through any of your weaknesses, I will not only cut off all support for your father, but I will also kick him while he's down and make him fail completely... At that time, not only will you lose your status as the president's daughter, but you will most likely have to drop out of school and work in a brothel to pay off your debts."

I've given you the opportunity, but you still need to seize it yourself.

Whether you live a glamorous life as the daughter of a president, or spend your nights dancing in brothels for others to see, depends entirely on your own efforts.

"I...I understand."

Although she was on the verge of tears, Beth could only grit her teeth and hold them back, forcing a happy expression on her face, her eyes sparkling as she looked at Julia and said:

"I've finally met you, Senior Yulia! Please guide me and train me to become a qualified hero."

"Leave it to me."

Yulia said confidently:

"I will teach you all the training methods I used to use. As long as you have a heart that truly wants to help everyone, even if you lack strength, you will still be a hero! Believe in yourself!"

"OK, all right."

Beth continued to act obediently, occasionally stealing glances at Emerald, only to find that Emerald wasn't even looking at her. She had to rack her brains to deal with Julia's questions, carefully considering every word she answered. She was already feeling quite tired before she had even started her training.

Not long after, Marcy came over with a cart full of breakfast, and everyone ate a simple breakfast together.

After that, Emery said she was going to design custom equipment for Beth and then left.

Yulia, meanwhile, was eager to begin training her juniors:

"How about it, Beth? Can you fly? How about we fly around Locke City 10 times to warm up a bit?"

"Uh, sorry, Yulia-senpai."

Beth's face turned pale instantly:

"I'm just an awakened mage, I don't have any powerful innate magic, and I don't have the ability to fly."

"Can't fly... That's right. When I first became a mage, I couldn't fly on my own either. I relied entirely on a powerful magical device."

Yulia showed a hint of nostalgia:

"In that case, we'll wait until you're fully equipped before doing flight training... The new equipment Emery made for you must be amazing; it can't possibly be without flight capabilities. Today, I'll just give you some basic training."

"Yes, Senior Yulia."

Beth breathed a slight sigh of relief.

But soon, Beth's expression became completely numb, and she could no longer smile.

Because Yulia soon flew with her to the center of Locke City, and pointed to Yulia Square, whose circumference was at least 6000 meters, and laughed:

"Come on, Beth, let's start with the most basic physical training, run 30 laps."

Chapter 300 Holy Mercury

"Phew...wash, wash, wash, wash..."

Because Emerald went to her private magic workshop to design and make equipment for Beth, she didn't need a maid to serve her.

Marcy stayed home, quite leisurely humming a tune as she washed Amelie's black stockings, making them all dirty.

"Sissi...Sissi! Help! Sissi!"

Just then, a loud shouting voice suddenly came from the sky, followed by a flustered Julia descending into the courtyard, clutching Beth, who was limp and lifeless.

"I think I accidentally killed Miss Beth... What should I do? What should I do? If Emerald finds out, she'll definitely blame me. Sisi, your Life Flame is invincible! Quickly use your invincible Life Flame to help me think of a solution!"

"What? You killed Miss Beth? Don't panic, let me see first..."

Upon hearing this, Marcy immediately put down the pantyhose she was holding, stepped forward, took Beth, who had lost consciousness and was not breathing, and laid her flat on the ground to examine her.

Marcy has been specializing in healing magic and medicine. Her healing abilities are in no way inferior to those of Emery, who has grasped the concept of holy magic. In fact, before Emery grasped the concept, her healing abilities were inferior to Marcy's—Emery could only turn the dead into undead like the living, while Marcy could truly bring the dead back to life.

At this point, Marcy only checked it briefly before nodding slightly:

“That’s right, Miss Beth can indeed be considered dead.”

But she remained calm. As she spoke, flames of life ignited at her fingertips. She then gently stroked Beth's body, causing Beth to burst into flames, and the life force that had just disappeared began to rapidly recover.

"Fortunately, Miss Beth died very recently, and her soul hasn't left her body yet. We just need to repair her body, which has stopped functioning, and she can come back to life."

Marcy gave Beth, who was still burning, another quick check. Only after confirming that Beth would wake up in two minutes at most did she relax and look up at Julia with some curiosity:

"How did you kill her? Could it be that you were still a little jealous and secretly beat her up but went too far?"

"How could that be? Even if I were truly jealous, I'd go and beat up that bastard Emery, not bully the weak, hmph!"

Yulia first waved her arms twice, then said dejectedly:

"I was just too stupid... The first training I arranged for Little Beth was physical training. I had her run 30 laps around Julia Square... I thought it would be easy, but I didn't expect Little Beth to collapse and faint after only 10 laps."

"At the time, I thought Little Beth was trying to slack off, so I got a little angry and flew down from the sky and gently kicked Little Beth... and Little Beth died."

"You really are an idiot!"

Marcy rolled her eyes without any politeness:

"Little Beth is just an awakened mage, and she doesn't seem to be good at physical fitness. Isn't it normal for her to faint from exhaustion after running 10 laps around Yulia Square? Instead of letting her rest and giving her some water, you kicked her... You're so stupid!"

"How was I supposed to know that her awakening stage would be so weak..."

Yulia muttered under her breath, clearly dissatisfied:

"When I first awakened as a mage, I could sprint at full speed for three hours straight without feeling tired..."

"What kind of monstrous level is your physical ability? Can anyone compare to you?"

Marcy said irritably:

"You're judging others by your own physical abilities... How about I have the young lady arrange more magical theory training for you based on her learning efficiency?"

"No...please don't...if you do that, I'll be the one resurrected next!"
