Princess's Struggle for Survival-Chapter 237: Sharing room with Princess Astrid

On the other side, the test site two classrooms away from Astrid, Lyra looked at the third question from the bottom on the paper and fell into thought.

Unlike Astrid, who had learned the Sorcerer level mage knowledge in advance, most of the test students only saw the magic knowledge of the peak Apprentices, and very few people really understood the spell arrangement.

Looking at the information given to her by the question, Lyra racked her brain and tried to find a trace of clues from the half-covered sample diagram.

She could guarantee that the first half of the easy questions were all correct, but the latter ones, Lyra was really a bit of a headache.

Princess Astrid taught her a lot of things to lay a solid foundation, and there was a tendency to expand to higher-level magic, but it was only a slight extension on the original magic, and there was no systematic explanation of how to deduce the entire element particle arrangement diagram from the partial magic arrangement.

The pointer moved and made an annoying creaking sound, Lyra closed her legs and tried to recall the extended knowledge that Princess Astrid taught her.

What is the characteristic of the fire element?

The strongest activity, the easiest to respond to external stimuli.

Lyra, think back to when you learned the fire wall, how did Princess Astrid teach you?

That intermittent transmission of mental power pause time, should be the so-called transmission frequency.

Time passed minute by minute, and there were only ten minutes left before the end of the exam, Lyra, who thought she couldn’t figure it out, looked at the next two questions, the narrative question skipped directly, and the Elders Speech translation was even more outrageous, except for Lady Gemini who could really understand Elders Speech.

After thinking for a moment, Lyra returned to the previous question and continued to dig into the stem information, her mind constantly flashing the mental power transmission when she learned the fire wall.

"There is one minute left, prepare to collect the paper, pay attention to the name and don’t forget to fill in the name."

Hearing the urging, Lyra bit the tip of her tongue and prepared to guess an answer.

Fire is an intermediate spell of the spell caster, according to the characteristics of the fire element and the fire wall, and the element arrangement in the sample diagram.

The frequency should be slightly faster, but how much faster...

In the last few seconds of collecting the paper, Lyra wrote down the most likely value.

"Collect the paper, stop answering!"

--------

Leaving the classroom, Lyra let out a soft sigh of relief and turned around to see Astrid standing under the shade of a tree, chatting with Lydia.

Lydia had also attended the enrollment ceremony today. The elemental affinity test results of this minister’s daughter showed that she had good affinity with all elements.

Although there were no standout points, at least it was quite comprehensive, and there would be no obvious shortcomings in learning various types of magic.

Seeing Lyra approaching, Astrid spoke softly.

"How do you feel, Lyra?"

Based on her understanding of Lyra, the other party should be able to score at least 85 points on this enrollment test, which was much better than the single-digit score in the original work.

"Reporting to Your Highness Astrid, I was a bit unsure about the last few questions, but the rest were fine," Lyra said.

Except for the obviously out-of-syllabus questions, Lyra could guarantee that all the basic questions she answered were correct.

"Miss Lyra is so amazing, I didn’t even complete the advanced reaction of the wind element..."

Lydia chimed in at the right moment, with a faint tone of admiration.

Hearing this, Lyra politely responded, "It’s not that amazing, it’s just that the exam content happened to be what I remembered."

"How about Your Highness Astrid..."

From a rational perspective, Lyra felt that these questions were child’s play for Astrid.

If the latter answered seriously, apart from the additional question about Elders Speech, she should be able to get full marks on the other questions.

After listening, Astrid didn’t show much emotional fluctuation and just slowly replied, "Not bad."

Although the exam was over, her mind was still on the last question.

The beginning of everything, the end of everything... the mother of all things, the father of all gods...

This phrasing was clearly describing an omniscient and omnipotent creator god.

Originally, Astrid thought that Elders Speech was just a setting created by an author for convenience, but now it seemed that there was much more to it than that.

She felt that she had vaguely touched the truth of this world, but there was still a thick veil preventing her from seeing the whole picture, like looking at flowers through fog or the moon in water.

"Miss, you and Lyra’s third round of testing is in the afternoon, it’s time to go for lunch now."

Hearing the head maid’s words, Astrid nodded and asked Lydia if she wanted to join.

"I won’t go, my practical test is about to start."

"Okay, good luck."

"I will!"

After bidding farewell to Lydia, Astrid held Amalia’s hand and walked towards the dining hall. Along the way, many people saw them and cast glances of admiration or envy.

The Elizabeth Academy of Magic was neither too small nor too big. Her elemental affinity test results should have spread by word of mouth among the entire freshman circle.

Ignoring these gazes, Astrid entered the academy dining hall and found a spacious table to sit at.

After all, the Elizabeth Academy of Magic was a noble academy. Its internal facilities were not only complete but could also be considered luxurious in some ways.

Looking at the array of dishes and thinking of the meal fees included in the tuition, Lyra picked a few dishes she hadn’t eaten much before.

By the time she returned to the table, the head maid had already prepared the meals for the two princesses and placed them in front of them.

Miss Elise’s speed... is as fast as ever...

Naturally sitting opposite Astrid, Lyra ate in small bites while using her keen senses as a high-level knight to observe her surroundings.

"Exceptional level... what is the evaluation standard for that?"

"I’ve never heard of it, seems even the principal was startled."

"Who is the person Her Highness Astrid is holding hands with? Why do they have the same red eyes as her?"

Beside her? Are they talking about Her Highness Amalia?

Shifting her gaze back to Astrid’s face, Lyra saw the former elegantly having lunch, her eyelashes fluttering lightly, her moist lips pink and alluring.

Her Highness Astrid already had two scores that were top-notch among the freshmen.

The knife sliced through the steak, releasing a fragrant juice. Lyra pursed her lips, thinking about how to perform best in the last test.

For the practical test... she should perform better than Princess Astrid...

But due to the weight of the scores, no matter how well she does, they probably won’t be in the same class.

What a pity.

As Lyra was pondering, Astrid suddenly spoke.

"Let’s go to the dormitory to report after lunch. Our test is scheduled for 3 PM, so we can take a nap before going."

"As a knight, you mainly rely on muscle strength and physical flexibility for the test. If you want to keep yourself in peak condition, it’s best to wake up before 2 PM."

Hearing this, Lyra’s hand paused slightly. She blinked and softly replied, "Okay."

After lunch, amidst the whispered discussions of the senior students, Astrid and Lyra left the dining hall and walked towards the academy dormitory.

"This is your dormitory room number and key."

Taking the brass key handed by the dormitory staff, Lyra looked at the room number and glanced at Astrid’s. Their numbers were the same, both were Room 508, Building C.

The dormitory decoration and internal specifications of the Elizabeth Academy of Magic were quite good.

Although it was a four-person room with assistant scholars living in it, to allow future mages to focus on their studies, the dormitory was equipped with all kinds of daily magical devices, and they were all top-notch, greatly facilitating the residents’ lives.

Of course, no matter how luxurious the dormitory was, it couldn’t compare to the palace. Princess Astrid’s home was nearby, so she probably wouldn’t stay here often.

Originally feeling particularly lucky when she saw the room number, Lyra gradually extinguished the flame of excitement in her heart under the influence of this thought.

Sharing a room with Her Highness Astrid... it’s better to just think about it.

Inserting the key into the lock and turning it gently, Lyra walked into the dormitory and carefully examined the indoor environment.

Compared to her bedroom in the palace, this dormitory was significantly larger, with the overall space at least equivalent to two of her previous rooms.

The dormitory had a total of four beds, with beds on top and desks below. The room was equipped with an independent bathroom and shower, and even a dedicated walk-in closet for clothes.

As expected of a noble academy...

Her fingers lightly wiped the edge of the wardrobe, finding no dust at all, confirming that it had been carefully cleaned.

Lyra squatted down, opened her suitcase, and began to arrange her temporary little nest for the next four years.

Astrid walked to the desk, turned on the magic lamp containing light attribute crystals, felt the brightness, turned it off, and then looked at the brand new sheets and quilts above her head before sitting down.

"Elise."

"Yes, Miss Astrid."

"Please inform the maid team to bring two potted plants when they move the clothes over."

"Okay, I’ll go now."

After saying this, Elise left the room, leaving only the two princesses and Lyra, who had just finished organizing the desk and was slightly stunned.

"Your Highness Astrid... are you going to live here?" Lyra asked softly.

She saw that Astrid hadn’t prepared anything in the morning, so she thought the other party wouldn’t stay in the dormitory.

But judging from her current conversation with the head maid, things were clearly not as she had thought.

"Yes, I’m going to stay here," Astrid nodded and responded in a low voice.

"What’s wrong, are you surprised?"
