Let them live with that regret for the rest of their lives!

After saying that, Hattie gave Elise a cute smile.

Seeing Qiheti's performance, Yibalaiwula couldn't help but twitch her lips. It seemed that her good friend Qiheti had been bewitched by the Dream Witch of Annihilation. These past two days, she had been urging Qiheti to go to Iris's manor with her.

However, Elira made various excuses to decline them all.

The world-destroying witch; getting close to her will bring misfortune, but even if you stay away, misfortune will eventually come.

Just then, she seemed to notice something and looked at Nora sitting next to Elise. Seeing the harmonious atmosphere between the two, Elise was momentarily stunned.

It wasn't until Hattie nudged her that she snapped back to reality.

"Miss Elise is very beautiful, but you can't keep staring at her like that."

“I…” Elira wanted to explain that she hadn’t been looking at Iris, but after realizing that explaining might cause a bigger misunderstanding, she decided to keep quiet.

While the two were talking, Nora was also whispering to Elise, "That blue-haired woman just now seemed to be staring at me the whole time, with an expression of disbelief."

"Yeah, I noticed."

From the moment Elira entered, Iris had been observing her. She also noticed Elira's shock when she saw Nora, a shock she had seen when Nora looked at Elena and the maid during their chance encounter in the Endless Ice Plains.

If these three people have anything in common, it's probably that they've all awakened memories of their past lives.

Now, Elise increasingly feels that Elira is one of the reborn.

Just then, Elise suddenly felt a burning gaze.

She looked in the direction and soon saw a handsome young blond boy. She was familiar with him; he was Brook, one of the strongest protagonists in the game.

Does he have a crush on me?

No, the other person's gaze didn't seem to be directed at me; it was more like they were eyeing something about me.

For Elise, who bears the mark of pleasure, she is able to more clearly distinguish the types of desires.

This is interesting. I wonder what the other party saw in him/her?

Unlike Elise, who possessed the mark of pleasure and could distinguish desire, Nora only knew that the man was staring at Elise with eyes practically bulging out of their sockets.

While it's true that Elise is very beautiful, staring at her like that is just too impolite!

Nora, unusually, felt a little annoyed.

When she's unhappy, she wants to fight to make herself feel better.

I accidentally fell asleep last night and missed updating one chapter. There are two more chapters to come today.

Volume 1: Chapter 255 You blockhead, you truly delight me.

Why are you so angry?

Elise sensed Nora's change in mood and turned to look at her with some curiosity.

"Don't you think that blond guy's gaze was too direct?" Nora, though a bit dense, spoke very bluntly, even stating the reason for her displeasure directly to Elise.

Such straightforward words startled Elise for a moment, but soon a bright smile appeared on her face.

Her already beautiful appearance was amplified by her stunning charm, and many people who secretly glanced at Elise were slightly stunned by her smile, including Brook.

Having spent a lot of time with Elise, Nora had developed some resistance to Elise's smile. She said helplessly, "Tone it off a little, it seems like even more people are looking at you."

"You're definitely jealous, aren't you? I never thought you'd get jealous over other people's opinions. When did you become so adorable, little blockhead?" Elise gently squeezed Nora's hand, her joy undisguised.

What does "being jealous" mean?

"It's probably jealousy stemming from possessiveness. You don't have any possessiveness towards me at all, do you?"

Even if Nora is incredibly dense, Elise has already made herself perfectly clear; how could she not understand?

Nora, who is usually so carefree, suddenly felt her cheeks flush. Even she couldn't bring herself to say that she had no possessiveness towards Elise.

That's probably all there is.

In a good mood, Elise maintained a faint smile on her face even during the most boring activities.

At first, Nora did feel a little shy because of Elise's words, but she was quickly drawn to the elites from various academies.

She wanted to fight all the geniuses and elites here, feeling that it would greatly help improve her strength.

Elise, who was standing right next to Nora, naturally felt the surging fighting spirit emanating from her. She sighed helplessly. She had just been wondering if Nora's shyness would last until the end of this boring activity, thus providing her with more fun.

Now it seems I was overthinking things.

The boring opening ceremony didn't end until noon.

Next came the mealtime, which was more like a large-scale exchange meeting than a meal.

Elise had already displayed her charm, so during the banquet, many people gathered around her, trying to have a further conversation with her or to attract her attention.

However, Nora is like Elise's guardian knight; with her by my side, she blocks out a lot of unnecessary social interactions.

Elira was also forcibly pulled over by Hattie. She greeted Iris excitedly and then sat down opposite Iris as if they were old friends: "Miss Iris, your charm is truly outstanding. Many of my classmates over there are already talking about you."

Hearing Hattie's words, Elise covered her mouth and chuckled: "Miss Hattie should be careful. The girls in our academy are already imagining how bouncy your cheeks are."

Hattie instinctively covered her cheek; her face was still a little chubby and looked very cute. Elise wasn't lying; she had indeed heard two girls discussing this issue.

"If Miss Iris wants to pinch me, I can reluctantly make that sacrifice."

"I really want to."

"what?"

Hattie pouted, but eventually leaned her head closer. Elise didn't hold back and gently pinched her cheek; it felt really nice.

After that, Hattie never joked about her face again. She didn't like having her cheeks pinched, except by people she was close to.

Although she had a good impression of Elise, she wasn't at the point where she could casually pinch her own cheek.

Just as Elise was about to shift the topic to Elira, a familiar yet unfamiliar voice rang out: "Excuse me, may I sit here?"

Everyone turned to look and saw Brooke carrying a plate piled high with all sorts of delicious food, looking completely harmless.

"I happen to have something I wanted to talk to you about," Elise said with a smile.

Compared to the gentle Elise, Nora seemed much more wary. She hadn't forgotten that Elise had been staring at her intently during the opening ceremony.

Nora's hostility was obvious, and Brooke was clearly puzzled as well, but he didn't care. He simply sat down with a smile and politely asked, "So, Miss Elise, what brings you here?"

"I'd like to borrow a small mirror from you. I wonder if that's alright?"

"Although I really want to lend it to you, unfortunately I can't."

Elise raised an eyebrow. Although the fragments of the Mirror of Omniscience were very valuable, they had been lent out a few times in Brook's game storyline.

"Actually, I would also like to borrow Miss Iris's mirror. I wonder if that's alright?"

"My mirror?"

Although Elise's expression remained unchanged, a rare hint of confusion surfaced in her heart. The mirror Brook mentioned was clearly a fragment of the Mirror of Omniscience. Although she knew the whereabouts of the other fragments, she didn't have any fragments on her.

It couldn't have been borrowed from someone else's own makeup mirror, could it?

Elise, of course, didn't ask about something that seemed impossible no matter how you looked at it.

"You must have misunderstood something. I don't have the mirror you're looking for."

“No, you do.” Brook took out a handkerchief to wipe his mouth, then looked directly at Elise and said, “Since you know I have a mirror, you should also know what kind of power my mirror has, right?”

Elise certainly knew what the other person's mirror ability was, otherwise she wouldn't have specifically wanted to borrow it from him.

However, after hearing what the other party said, Elise suddenly thought of a possibility.

Could the mirror Brook mentioned be referring to his own system?

Among the fragments of the Mirror of Omniscience, there is indeed one that can know everything, and the system has indeed demonstrated the abilities it should have.

Whether it's a gift from the gods or a treasure hidden among mortal objects, nothing will be missed once the system scans it.

But if she remembered correctly, shouldn't that fragment be in the Battlefield of Gods? How could it have turned into a system inside her body?

If her guess was correct, and the system truly was a fragment of the Mirror of Omniscience, then she understood why Brooke didn't want to lend her the fragment.

After all, they were both holders of fragments, and this was their first meeting. If it were Iris, she wouldn't dare lend it to the other party.

Unexpectedly, borrowing a mirror led me to discover secrets I didn't know.

Volume 1: Chapter 256 Can you swing your sword at me?

But then again, she had contact with Brooke when she was going through life and death before, so why is it only now that he has discovered the fragments in her body?

Forget it, thinking about things without any clues is just a waste of brain cells. What's more important now is figuring out how to get hold of the other party's fragments.

Just then, Brooke's voice rang out again: "I think Miss Elise really wants my mirror. How about this, we have a fight, and whoever wins hands over the mirror, how about that?"

"Are you sure you want to bully a weak woman like me?" Elise took Nora's arm, her aggrieved expression as if she had been bullied.

Although everyone present knew that Elise was deliberately acting, many people who were paying attention to Elise cast angry glances at Brook because of her actions.

Feeling the hostile gazes of those around him, Brooke gave a wry smile: "Miss Elise, you'd better tone it down a bit, otherwise, I'm afraid I'll get ambushed on the way."

"I don't think many people your age could easily knock you out," Elise said, not continuing her act, but simply pointing a finger at Nora. "I'm not very good at fighting. If you want to bet with me, I'll have to ask my best friend for help."

Brooke had actually been keeping an eye on Nora, but he knew very little about her. However, Nora gave him a very threatening feeling.

He had rarely experienced this feeling with his peers.

He had been wanting a thoroughly enjoyable battle, so he said directly to Elise and Nora, "Okay, I grant your request."

"Then it's settled. However, the duel will probably have to wait until after the inter-academy competition."

"Well, that's no problem."

The two quickly discussed the specific details, while Elira looked at Nora and Elise with some surprise.

The relationship between these two wasn't just a pretense; it was genuinely good.

But this time, didn't the witch who destroyed the world choose a god-slayer?

While Elira was still in a daze, Hattie, who was standing next to her, tugged at her sleeve curiously: "What are they talking about? And what's a mirror?"

"The mirror is..." Just as Elira was about to say something, she suddenly realized that this was something she shouldn't know, so she quickly changed her words: "I don't know what the mirror is either. Maybe it's a very powerful magical item? Otherwise, Brook wouldn't have chosen to gamble with Miss Iris."

"Is it a very powerful magical item?" Hattie blinked, seemingly imagining just how powerful it was.

Soon, Elise and Brooke finished discussing the details, and Brooke immediately left the place of trouble. He felt that if he continued to sit there, he might be killed by the envious gazes of the people around him.

You should know that Elise wasn't the only one there; Nora was also extremely beautiful, not to mention that Elira and Hattie each had their own unique charm.

More than one person has tried to come and join in the fun, but they have all been ruthlessly rejected.

After Brooke left, Hattie also looked on with curiosity, but she hesitated for a long time before asking.

After all, there are some things that would be too impolite to ask.

Elise was well aware of Hattie's curiosity, and she smiled and said, "This is not the place to talk. I'll tell you when you come to visit my manor."

"really?"

“Of course.” Elise nodded with a smile, then glanced at Elira subtly.

Sensing Iris's gaze, Elira nervously pursed her lips, then pretended not to notice anything and began to eat her rice.

Although she had been talking to Brook about duel-related matters, she had been keeping an eye on Elira the whole time. Although Elira hadn't said what the mirror was, judging from her tone, she clearly knew what the mirror referred to.

How interesting! I wonder who she is, how she knows so much. Does such a person really exist in the game? I've never seen her in the game, and after dying and coming back to life so many times, I still don't have any impression of her.

The banquet lasted for about two hours before it ended.

After saying goodbye to Hattie and Elira, Elise and Nora also left the academy through the teleportation hall.

Back at the manor, Nora finally couldn't hold back any longer and asked Elise with a curious look, "What are my chances of winning if I were to face that Brook?"

"Let's split it 30/70, you get 30% and he gets 70%."

Brook, one of the strongest main characters in the game O, is an all-rounder. No matter what profession he is, he can quickly master its essentials. His fighting style can no longer be described as versatile.

If Nora hadn't acquired the ability to master all weapons, she might have had less than a 10% chance of winning against him.

"Is she that strong?" Nora didn't doubt Elise's judgment, but even though she knew her chances of winning were only about 30%, her eyes still gleamed with fierce fighting spirit.

Seeing the other person's excited expression, Elise tapped her head in annoyance and said, "Although you only have a win rate of less than 30% right now, with me here, I can raise your win rate to 70%."

Elise, as a player, is very familiar with Brook's fighting style, and Nora still hasn't mastered the correct way to use the God-Slaying Weapon. Originally, Elise was going to let her figure it out on her own, but now she can only give her a little hint.

"How could you improve my strength so much in such a short time?"

"No, what I'm improving is only your strength when you fight him." To put it bluntly, Elise plans to give Nora a special attack against Brook through training.
