An Unorthodox Guide to Conquering Another World

"Yes...."

Hikaria's teeth chattered, but she listened to him, took a deep breath, and stepped into the pool. The pool wasn't deep, just covering her thighs, but Hikaria felt as if her whole body was frozen. There was no numbness from the cold, but her senses were amplified dozens of times. Every change in her body made her extremely uncomfortable. The surrounding magical elements seemed like bouncing balls, jumping up and down haphazardly, out of control.

But she persevered, using her hard-won magic to condense a water sphere, and began practicing ice crafting.

"Raise both hands, don't look at the water sphere, we're going to do blind carving," Ya Feng commanded again.

This made things even more difficult; Hikaria had no idea she could complete the training this way.

But he still listened to Ya Feng's words, raised his arm, and lifted the water ball above his head to perform blind carving.

The water sphere swayed gently above her head, but with Hikaria's efforts, she managed to form a fairly perfect circle. She decided to start with something simple.

Next, it will be frozen into an ice ball.

But then, two feathers floated down to her side and gently brushed against her armpits.

"Hahaha!"

Splash! The water balloon above her head shattered, soaking her again.

"Teacher! Is this really necessary?!" she shouted at Ya Feng, her arms crossed, her face flushed.

"Hey, this is nothing,"

Ya Feng smiled slightly and waved his hand. Hikaria watched in despair as several more feathers drifted towards her, landing on her neck, armpits, back, waist, and navel...

"You're kidding, right..." Hikaria murmured blankly.

...

Ilsa, inside her room, heard Hikaria's laughter outside. She opened the window and saw Hikaria lying in the water in the yard, still laughing incessantly.

She sighed softly, as if seeing her former self, and could only feel sympathy for the elf in her heart.

Chapter 56 Hikaria's Unique Preferences

"Teacher, are you sure this kind of training is really okay?!"

"Of course! When have I ever lied to you, teacher? Look how much better your mental strength and self-control have become after this period of study, haven't they?"

"But, but this is really a bit..."

"Alright, be good, let your teacher see the deeper layers of your magical space..."

"Wait, no!"

Hikaria was suddenly awakened from her sleep and sat up abruptly. She then saw that it was already bright outside the window and the clock showed nine o'clock in the morning.

"It was a dream..." she sighed.

But he quickly came to his senses.

"Oh no, I'm going to be late!"

She quickly got up, and only after getting out of bed did she suddenly realize that it was Sunday. She then breathed a sigh of relief and sat down on the edge of the bed.

I've been learning from Ya Feng for a week now, and yesterday I finally got used to that state of mental exhaustion. I was able to repeatedly freeze ice balls while maintaining high sensitivity throughout my body and being tickled.

Thus began serious theoretical and practical teaching of techniques.

Hikaria has made great progress during this period.

She could now sense that her control over the holy attribute had become more solid, and the magical mist that had been troubling her for so long was even showing signs of loosening.

Moreover, this hasn't even officially started learning yet; it's just that Ya Feng said she should "get used to it."

In the teaching demonstration that just started yesterday, she also saw what real holy attribute magic looks like, and realized that she had been a bit narrow-minded in the past. Relying on the system to quickly improve her magic level, she still lacked a solid foundation.

In comparison, Ya Feng was even able to cast spells of the fifth rank or higher without chanting, which somewhat refreshed her understanding.

Spells have always been an essential medium for spells. The higher the rank of the spell, the longer the spell needs to be. Not to mention spells of the Holy attribute that require the power of faith to cast, spells are even more essential. Hikaria is now an Apostle, and spells of rank two or higher still require chanting to be cast accurately.

Ya Feng's spells of the fifth rank and above are all released with a simple raise of his hand. To reach that level, in addition to powerful magic, one also needs extensive spellcasting experience and extraordinary comprehension.

The professionalism that Ya Feng demonstrated further solidified her confidence in learning under him.

With such a mentor to guide you, you will definitely make great progress in a short period of time.

The thing is, something felt really strange, which has caused her to have been having bizarre nightmares lately...

She got up and left the bedroom. Her mother had already gone to work by now. She went to the kitchen to get something to eat and saw an envelope and a note on the table.

"Xixi, this is your allowance for Zhou. The groceries are in the fridge. Mom will come home early today to spend time with you. Let's relax this weekend. Love you."

Hikaria smiled warmly, looking forward to the afternoon, but then sighed softly.

My mother works at the botanical garden. Thanks to her affinity for nature, she rose to the position of group leader after three years, earning 240 gold coins a week. This was definitely not a low income in the royal city, but because she also needed to pay for her own school fees, the family was always struggling financially. So, my mother even worked half a day on weekends.

Hey~

The phone rang on her phone. She picked it up and glanced at it; it was from Ilsa.

"Hikkaria, it's your day off today. How about we go shopping? We could also visit the library while we're there; I have a few books I'd like to buy."

After getting together with Ya Feng, his relationship with Ilsa improved a lot. In addition to communicating more at school, they also started chatting on Huanwangtong in private.

This is probably what they call a best friend?

She sent her a message using Huanwangtong.

"Okay, now?"

"Okay! I'll send you the location."

After receiving the reply, Hikaria got ready, ate a quick breakfast, changed into her everyday clothes, grabbed her keys and her small bag, and went out.

When she arrived at the park they had agreed upon, she saw the white-haired girl waiting on a bench.

"Hikaria!"

When Ilsa saw her, she stood up and waved.

Today, Ilsa wore a pale yellow Peter Pan collar shirt, a beige pleated skirt with a ribbon at the waist, mid-calf cotton socks, and black loafers. It was a simple outfit, but paired with her beautiful face and white hair, she was very eye-catching in the sunlight.

Hikaria's outfit was simpler: a white shirt paired with a blue jacket, trousers, and a baseball cap.

She was still wearing those thick glasses, her bangs covering her eyes, making her very inconspicuous.

"Where is Teacher Ya Feng?" Hikaria asked as she approached.

"He went out early this morning, saying he had something important to do, but I don't know anything about it." Ilsa shrugged helplessly.

Then she smiled faintly, "Well then, I'll trouble you to accompany me shopping today, Hikaria."

“It’s alright, actually I was going to the library anyway,” Hikaria said.

Today, Ilsa called Hikaria out with a purpose. That's right, it was because Ya Feng told her about the "Good Friends Operation".

Although I've grown much closer to this deskmate over this period, there's still a thin veil between us, a slight sense of distance.

To gain someone's trust and lower their guard, allowing them to reveal their secrets, you need to be the one to make the breakthrough.

The way girls get closer is definitely by going shopping together, buying clothes, eating desserts, taking photos, and sharing their interests, right?

Ilsa has already learned all these things from Betty; they're popular among girls in the kingdom now, so there won't be any problems. Today, they'll uncover Hikaria's interests.

"Shall we set off?"

The two left the park together, chatting as they walked toward the library.

"By the way, how about we go see a movie later?" Ilsa suddenly suggested.

"A movie?" Hikaria thought to herself. Movie tickets weren't expensive these days, and she had been quite frugal this month, so she should have more than enough money to see a movie.

"Okay," she replied.

"Hikkaria, is there any movie you'd like to watch? How about 'The Shepherd in Spring'?" Ilsa took out her NetPlay device and showed Hikkaria a movie poster.

She specifically chose a more artistic film, believing that a girl like Hikaria would like it.

“I’ve seen the trailer before, and I’m not very interested,” Hikaria shook her head.

"Oh, I see... So, do you like this movie, 'Rosa's Pink Letter'?" Ilsa had found another romance film.

"...Isn't this a romance movie? Shouldn't couples go see it together? We're just two girls..."

Hikaria said somewhat awkwardly, "Besides... I'm not really interested in these kinds of movies."

"Then, then...which type do you like?" Ilsa had no choice but to ask.

Hikaria flipped through the Huanwangtong app and then showed it to Ilsa:

"How about this one?"

Ilsa looked at the poster above:

Killing Time 2: Bloodbath

Isn't this... one of those R-rated blood and gore movies...?

"You...you like this kind of thing..." Ilsa's lips twitched; she hadn't expected Hikaria to have such unusual tastes...

Chapter 57 Hikaria's "Mother"

“But you probably won’t like it…it’s a bit too bloody and violent…” Hikaria said.

"No, it's okay. This should be quite stress-relieving, right? I think I can give it a try," Ilsa said with a smile.

Anyway, I don't care what I watch, and this is a good opportunity to learn about Hikaria's preferences.

"But we probably won't be able to get tickets for this kind of movie, will we?" she said, remembering something.

“It’s okay, I brought my mother’s ID card with me,” Hikaria said, taking out an ID card.

"Oh well..."

Ilsa never expected that Hikaria, who seemed so honest and obedient, would actually have moments when she tried to be clever.

As the film and television industry has emerged alongside the internet, it has now surpassed the older generation of stage plays and become the most popular form of entertainment for the new generation. In the first few years, in order to sell tickets, all kinds of films and television dramas with explicit sexual content and attention-grabbing elements were produced in an overwhelming manner, until the situation improved after the enactment of the regulation law.

What Hikaria wanted to see was also classified as 18+, and she needed to show her ID to buy a ticket.

However, cinemas are businesses after all. As long as you show valid credentials, they don't care if you are the person on the credential or not, and you can buy as many tickets as you want.

“Shall we go now? There’s a show coming up soon, it ends around noon, so we can grab some lunch and then head to the library in the afternoon,” Ilsa said.

It just so happened that there was a movie theater nearby, so the two girls went straight there.

A movie ticket isn't too expensive, much cheaper than a stage play. It costs 4 gold rupees and 11 dah cards. If you pay an extra 13 dah cards, you can also buy a popcorn and a soft drink.

Using their mother's ID to buy tickets, and carrying popcorn and soda, the two girls entered the screening room together.

There were relatively few people here, and most of them were men. It's really rare to see young girls like them watching this kind of film.

The two found a seat near the middle, and the movie started soon after.

Ilsa had originally intended to try to accept this kind of film so that she could have something to talk about with Hikaria, but unexpectedly, she became so engrossed in watching it that she didn't touch her popcorn for over an hour.

This movie was surprisingly good. Although the screen was full of blood and gore flying everywhere, the combination of rousing rock music and a fast-paced, exciting plot made it quite thrilling and stress-relieving.

"Wow, this is the first time I've seen such an interesting movie or TV show. It's so much fun!"

As she walked out of the screening room, Ilsa sighed.

"Right? This series of films mainly features large-scale, fast-paced revenge and vengeance. If you like it, Linda, I also recommend you watch the first one. Although it's a bit less explicit, the plot is quite good." Seeing that she was interested, Hikaria was happy to continue recommending.

“Yes! I will go see it!” Ilsa nodded.

But soon I felt a little embarrassed.

"Hey, Hikaria, wait a minute, I'm going to pick some flowers."

I was completely focused on the video, and only after I came out did I realize how long I'd been holding it in.

After returning from the restroom, the two girls chatted about the plot of the movie and walked out of the theater together.

They could be considered to have something in common.

We went out and found a small restaurant for lunch, then found a small coffee shop to rest.
