My older sister is a villainous rich girl

"Eleanor!" the man shouted.

Wayne's heart skipped a beat, and he immediately stepped back.

However, a wisp of extremely concealed wind blade, which swept in from the side, suddenly burst forth with killing intent and still pierced through his left shoulder.

A piercing pain struck, and my entire left arm went numb.

Wayne instinctively called out, "Sanitet!"

Where's the medic? Where is the medic?!

Hey!

I've never been in so much pain in my entire life, or even in any other life.

He fell towards the spot where Tasia was behind him.

A gentle light softly embraced him, and after the numbness and itching in his left arm subsided, he regained some sensation. Although it was still very painful, he could still move around.

NICE, doctor!

Beside Tasia, a huge beam of light formed a six-pointed star, its dazzling light filling her entire field of vision.

The reason Vayne charged forward and attacked fiercely just now was to buy time for her ultimate move.

In an instant, a beam of light, seemingly capable of melting everything, shot straight towards the two people above.

The light illuminated the once dark stone wall.

Above this cliff, which has probably never seen strong light since its birth, the world is divided into two parts by Tasia.

Having witnessed all of this, only one thought flashed through Wayne's mind.

This ray of light, and the girl within it, who seemed to be cherished by all the light in the world... was so stunningly beautiful.

……

Outside the ruins, Xie Li, the class teacher in charge of providing logistics, was chatting with the practical course teachers who were stationed at the entrance.

"Wayne from our class will definitely get first place in this test," Shelley said with a hint of pride.

Although Wayne has other famous teachers, he can still be considered as one of his own students if you ask around.

With such outstanding teaching results, the bonus the academy awarded to me was no joke.

“That’s not necessarily true,” a practical course teacher offered a different opinion. “In my opinion, the real first place is probably someone else.”

Upon hearing this, another teacher chimed in with curiosity, "You mean, that commoner who possesses light magic?"

The practical class teacher who had spoken earlier immediately retorted with displeasure, "Why are you like those people, always talking about commoners? Doesn't she have a name? Her name is Tasia Louise."

Sherley was taken aback, and an image of a seemingly weak girl flashed through his mind.

He had heard many times that the girl's light magic was a very special and rare attribute, and it also had a powerful healing effect.

Since she has such abilities, even if she were an ordinary person, she should be able to get a good job after graduation, right?

In short, their future prospects are definitely much better than those of ordinary teachers.

The group of them chatted casually.

Every now and then, teams that had achieved a satisfactory score would come out and hand over their magic stones.

"Time's almost up... Are there any teams that haven't come out yet?" someone asked.

Shelley frowned and said, "Wayne and Chris haven't come out yet."

Do you want to get more magic stones?

But if the time runs out, all the magic stones will be wasted.

Just as Shelley was wondering if they would be so unwise, two students ran out of the ruins looking panicked.

"Teacher! Wayne and Chris must be in trouble!"

He is Gavin, the son of the Foreign Secretary.

Following behind him was Molly, panting heavily; the two of them had been assigned to the same team as Wayne.

Sherley's expression changed drastically.

"What happened? Please give a quick and concise report!"

If those two noble families were to encounter problems during the practical exam, the entire academy would likely face brutal retaliation from the Winchester family, not to mention the teachers directly responsible for the exams.

After learning the gist of what had happened to them, Shirley didn't hesitate and immediately instructed, "One person go and report to the rear, the rest of you come in with me to rescue them."

I unexpectedly ran into Tasia Louise from the next class!

There must be someone secretly leading the way.

As soon as the examination location was selected, the academy held a preparatory meeting.

To prevent students from different classes from interfering with each other, the chief examiner specially arranged for people to secretly supervise and lead the students in different directions to avoid them running into each other.

Furthermore, the entrances to the two classrooms are quite far apart.

If they hadn't come here with a clear purpose, it would have been impossible to meet their own team in such a short time.

He and several practical course instructors hurried anxiously toward the interior of the ruins.

However, they soon discovered some clues.

Every so often, a small arrow pointing the way appears on the paving stones.

It looks as if someone forcibly carved it with profound magic.

"...Let's go in this direction first!"

The ruins have countless branching paths, making it difficult to find someone.

Following the arrow, they arrived at a stone wall that was imbued with magic.

“This area was not supposed to be open to the public,” said a practical course teacher. “There should have been a magic door on the way here, with a sign that read: Dangerous, not within the scope of the exam, please detour.”

However, they didn't see anything when they came over.

The magic gate was removed, and the sign was erased.

"What's in here?" he asked.

"It is...it is a stone chamber, but the paving stones can fall off, and below is a cliff that leads straight to the bottom of the ruins."

Fortunately, the area had also been surveyed by the school, and its spatial structure was very clear.

“We’ll dig a tunnel right through our feet,” he said. “Let’s begin!”

With their combined efforts, the magic converged at the same point, blasting through the earth beneath the magic stone wall with overwhelming force.

After passing through the passage, what appeared before them was a steep stone wall that was completely ruined.

Its surface is covered with countless pits and cracks, layer upon layer, a shocking sight.

A series of magical roars echoed from below the cliff.

From the darkness, an angry roar rang out: "Impossible! Your magic reserves couldn't possibly be that much!"

"Ha ha ha ha……"

Then came Wayne's voice, seemingly strained but still resolute: "You didn't expect that, did you...? I'm not only strong, but I'm also incredibly durable!!!"

"Wien, hang in there!"

Sheryl shouted and rushed down.

Then he saw Wayne, covered in blood.

The once dashing and impeccably groomed Wayne was now dressed in tattered clothes, covered in blood.

He stood in front of a cave that had been forcibly blasted open, with a slightly disheveled Tasia behind him and a tearful Chris.

Hearing the sound, Wayne glanced in the direction of Shelly and the others, then his face lit up with joy, and he shouted, "Don't let them get away!"

Then his legs buckled.

He fell into a coma.

Chapter 147 Regaining the Light

There are no dreams, no emotions, the world is just a void.

It's as if the soul has detached from the body and is floating somewhere.

In a quiet and peaceful room.

Soft light shone in, falling on his eyelids, as if gently caressing his thoughts through his body.

Lying comfortably in bed, Wayne's consciousness gradually returned.

'Did I... faint before?'

She hesitated for a long time about whether to transform into Echo in public, but she just kept doing it.

As a result, has the body unknowingly exceeded its limits...?

He struggled to open his eyes.

My left shoulder still aches slightly, but the other minor wounds seem to have healed.

I don't even know how long I've been lying there.

He turned his head and saw the tired-looking girl lying on the edge of the bed, fast asleep.

A gentle breeze drifting in through the window was stirring her hair.

Even in her sleep, her brows were furrowed, as if she were worried about something and didn't look happy.

Wayne reached out his right hand and gently tucked Chris's disheveled hair behind her ear.

Wayne was somewhat tempted when his fingers touched her small ears.

Or... while she's asleep, how about I sneak a kiss?

They've already confessed their feelings and confirmed their relationship, but apart from the occasional hug, they haven't done anything more intimate these days.

That very night, she suddenly leaned over and kissed my lips.

No, I've been taken advantage of.

We need to respond with an equal attack, no matter what.

With that thought in mind, he propped himself up on the edge of the bed and carefully moved closer to Chris.

Unable to exert any strength in his left hand, he could only support the entire weight with his right hand.

Fortunately, Chris was lying down just below her pillow, so she didn't need to move too far.

Those delicate and smooth skin, that straight nose, those rosy lips... they were right in front of him now, and every part of them filled him with longing.

Her usually strikingly beautiful face appeared exceptionally delicate and docile when she was asleep.

Wayne held his breath.

however--

When he was only two fingers' width away from the tip of her delicate nose, Chris's fine eyelashes trembled slightly, and she suddenly opened her eyes.

She was momentarily stunned, then realized what was happening, her eyes widening as she stared intently at Wayne, who was standing right in front of her.

As she gazed intently into his eyes, which were clear and bright, seemingly devoid of any impurities, Wayne gave an awkward smile.

"Oh, I just... wanted to fix your hair."

In desperation, he made up a clumsy excuse, tilting his head back to try and create distance, to show that he absolutely had no other intentions.

However, Chris reached out her slender hand and wrapped it around his neck from behind his right shoulder—

They pulled his head down even lower.

The soft sensation that washed over him gave him a sense of intoxication.

It's like savoring the ultimate delicacy.

He followed suit, deepening the kiss without hesitation, as if he wanted to absorb everything from her body.

The sounds of their bodies intertwining on the edge of the bed continued for a very, very long time.
