Chapter 409: New Friends
Under Inif’s wide-eyed gaze, Yuliya dramatically removed her black cloak, skipped a little to kick off her footstool, and also peeled off the disguise on her face.
And there she was, a 1.38-meter tall little loli!
She took a peek in the mirror and frowned.
“Ugh, why? Didn’t they say it was supposed to be the time to grow taller? I’ve been away for so long, and I haven’t grown at all!”
It was just two centimeters she was missing! How infuriating!
Yuliya kept checking herself in the mirror, glancing left and right.
She realized it had been a while since she admired herself this much.
Honestly, she was stunning!
If the reflection weren’t her own, she’d think about hugging herself and planting a kiss on those cheeks!
Just look at that skin, those features, and that hair!
She was like a celestial fairy gracing the mortal realm—an absolute beauty!
While Yuliya was caught up in her self-admiration, Inif couldn’t take her eyes off her.
Initially shocked into silence by Yuliya’s words, now seeing her true appearance had created a storm in her heart.
Power naturally influenced beauty. Those with strength had bodies shaped by their power, evolving towards perfection.
She had seen legendary beauties before, each one striking in her own right, but as a princess of her kingdom, they were just alright.
But the person before her was absolutely breathtaking.
Not the kind of beauty that dazzles at first sight then fades into ordinariness; the more she looked, the more captivating Yuliya became.
Inif had thought highly of her own appearance, but now, she felt completely overshadowed.
No contest, totally no contest!
Yuliya noticed Inif’s gaze and turned to her, asking, “Inif, what’s wrong?”
“I… It’s nothing.”
“Then why are you still wearing that black cloak? There’s no one else here; just take it off.”
“Take…take off my clothes?” Inif blushed, “No, no, no…that’s not good; it’s too fast.”
“Huh? I meant the black cloak.”
“Oh, the cloak…uh, I can’t take it off.”
Not only did Inif refuse to take it off, she wrapped it even tighter around herself.
How bizarre!
Yuliya shook her head, letting it go.
“See, my physical age is actually quite small. I can enter the academy, right?”
Saying this, Yuliya twirled around for dramatic flair.
Oops! That was a mental attack!
Inif quickly shut her eyes and covered them with her hands.
“Um…Riya, your…radiance…is too dazzling, I can’t really look.”
“Uh…” Yuliya paused, then a light bulb went off in her head, “Sorry, I thought you were a girl, and a princess at that! No big deal; I’ll tone it down.”
With that, her charm was cranked up to eleven!
It had been so long since she appreciated herself like this.
Normally, she wouldn’t have the guts to act this way in public—as it would attract a horde of loli enthusiasts.
But her sister, Elia, didn’t mind; what was the deal with a princess being so uptight?
Sisters are the best after all!
By the time Inif reopened her eyes, much of Yuliya’s imposing aura had subsided.
Although her appearance hadn’t changed, the sun-like charm had definitely dimmed a lot.
Inif let out a sigh of relief.
So this is what a legendary powerhouse is like—terrifying indeed.
They didn’t even have to do anything. Just standing there, the weak were forced to surrender.
After taking a moment to calm her tumultuous heart, Inif finally looked at Yuliya with a serious expression.
“Riya, please be careful. Remember to tone it down.”
“Don’t worry; I know my limits.”
Yuliya winked her left eye.
You know your limits? Yeah, right!
Inif thought this, though she dared not say it out loud.
No wonder Yuliya seemed so lively and carefree, lacking the poise of a typical powerhouse; it turned out she was just an 11-year-old child!
Who would have thought, and who would dare to imagine?
As for how she broke through to legendary status at this age, that was beyond Inif’s concern to question.
“If that’s the case, and you can suppress your strength without anyone noticing, you absolutely meet the conditions for entering Saint Felis Academy.”
Inif had initially thought of bringing her in as a short-term attendant or an outside support staff.
But that would really undermine her status.
“The academy usually has two admission channels: one is a recommended admission system with quotas for various countries and races, and the other is through admission tests. Actually, the test qualifications are also based on recommendations.”
“Direct admissions can be a hassle, but I can be your recommender, letting you take the entrance exam. I believe passing is a piece of cake for someone like you.”
Yuliya nodded, “Let’s go with that.”
If she couldn’t get in, then the examination method was seriously flawed!
Blow that stinking academy up—it’s not worth keeping!
If she really did blow it up, the Elf race would probably forgive her, right?
I mean, look at her—she’s so adorable, they must think she’s their divine chosen one!
But there were still many days left until the entrance exam, and more than half a month until the academy officially opened.
Inif had originally planned to arrive two days before school started.
Yet now, hopping on a flight had cut down the travel time by over ten days.
“Since you’re planning to enroll, why not take this time to get familiar with Saint Felis City? After you enroll, I’ll help you get used to the academy.”
Inif was completely on board with Yuliya’s enrollment.
Having a legendary powerhouse as a classmate was incredibly reassuring, wasn’t it?
Back in her school days, she hadn’t dared to wander freely.
Although the academy had instructors and a security council, theoretically, safety was guaranteed, there’s always a possibility something could slip through the cracks.
To play it safe, Inif only moved around a few fixed spots, avoiding any potential dangers.
As for going out to the city? She didn’t even dream of it.
Her academy life had been somewhat dull, but she was used to that dullness.
Now, it seemed that with Yuliya around, her life might get a splash of color.
Plus, Yuliya was just so lively, so cute, and such a stunning little sister!
“Riya, are we friends now?”
“Yep!”
“Then…” Inif leaned closer and grabbed Yuliya’s hand, “Let’s hold hands!”
Yuliya looked at their joined hands and grinned, “Got it! You’re afraid of getting lost and of danger! Alright then, let’s hold hands; there are way too many bad guys out there!”
