Chapter 427 : Final Grades
Hearing Black Cat Bell’s rare, heartfelt words, Janna listened carefully, but at the same time, she couldn’t help but grow curious.“Miss Bell, do you mean that apprentices who have mastered the 【Law Fragment】 will still have additional courses arranged in the White Tower?”
“Of course. After all, every wizard apprentice who has mastered the 【Law Fragment】 has essentially obtained a pass to the path of a full-fledged wizard—especially you, Janna Roland. Your path has already been destined to be completely different from the others.”
At those words, Janna also nodded thoughtfully.
“Forget it, whether you listen or not is up to you. I’m going to sleep.”
Black Cat Bell, who had come to understand Janna’s personality somewhat, also knew clearly in her heart that if it was something Janna herself did not acknowledge, then no matter how others tried to persuade her, she would merely listen without being easily swayed.
Moreover, Janna’s diligence was famous throughout White Coral Academy. Rather than persuading her to rest at this time, it was better to let her continue at her own pace.
“Then I’ll take my leave, Miss Bell.”
“Go on.”
After bidding farewell to Black Cat Bell, Janna, who had finished exchanging all her ritual materials, also left the Magic Tower and returned once more to the dormitory building.
“Ding—” With the elevator doors quickly opening, before Janna could even reach her dormitory door, she already heard the voice of the Door Spirit from afar.
“Miss Janna! You’ve finally come back!!”
After several days apart, seeing Janna return once again, the Door Spirit’s reaction was like that of a “loyal dog” waiting for its master to return home, its emotions rising with excitement.
“I’m back, Door Spirit. Has anyone come looking for me recently?”
“Yes. Over the past few days, quite a few people came to see you—Miss Bell Moonshadow, Mr. Soro Flare, Mr. Maro Heigel...”
Hearing the list of names reported by the Door Spirit, Janna’s brows furrowed slightly.
“Did they say what they were looking for me for?”
“No—they saw you weren’t in your dormitory and left immediately.”
What could it be about—
Normally, aside from Vivian, the others rarely came to Janna’s dormitory specifically to find her.
Most of the time, wizard apprentices resolved matters through messenger birds rather than visiting in person.
“Ah, right, Door Spirit. This is a small radio I brought back from Elemental Soul. It’s quite suitable for you to use when you’re bored.”
As she spoke, Janna took out a golden radio in the shape of a trumpet flower, about twenty centimeters tall, and handed it over to the Door Spirit.
“Miss Janna, you———”
“Take it. The space inside the door should be enough to hold this little radio.”
Hearing Janna’s words, the Door Spirit no longer hesitated and cheerfully accepted what became the second gift Janna had given him, following the Soul Crystal.
“By the way, there’s another matter I should tell you in advance. Before long, it will be time for the Dordogne-White Tower Trial. Once I pass the trial, I may stay in Dordogne directly—”
The moment Janna finished that sentence, she could clearly sense the shift in the Door Spirit’s emotions “from top to bottom.”
Still, since parting was inevitable, Janna’s personality would not allow her to wait until the last moment to inform him.
After all, time always washed everything away...
“Bang—” After closing the dormitory door, Janna, whose nerves had been tense for days due to the 【Transfiguration Trial】, finally relaxed in that instant.
At that moment, the only thing Janna wanted to do was quickly take off her clothes, fill the alchemical bathtub with hot water, and have a good soak to unwind.
“Knock, knock, knock——”
Just as Janna was about to remove her wizard robe, a series of urgent knocks suddenly sounded outside her dormitory window.
“Is it a Rook messenger?”
Seeing the black silhouette outside, with a square satchel slung across its shoulder, Janna quickly walked over to the window and opened it.
“Caw—Apprentice, this is a letter for you from the Academy.”
Seeing the small envelope passed over by the Rook messenger with its claws, Janna raised her brows slightly and then accepted it.
“Thank you, Lord Rook—oh, by the way, do you know if the Rook who went to Elemental Soul to deliver a letter a few days ago has returned?”
“You mean Doolooloo? It already returned a few days ago.”
Doolooloo? So that Rook actually had a name?
Hearing this Rook refer to another by name, Janna’s eyes widened slightly in surprise, realizing for the first time that Rooks had names.
All this time, she had thought all the Rooks in the Academy were merely the split bodies of Headmaster Anthony-Rook’s familiar, possessing only instinct rather than independent thought.
“Lord Rook, may I ask, what is your name?”
“You mean me? I’m called Doolooloo.”
Doolooloo...
Hearing its reply, Janna did not show it outwardly, but inside she couldn’t help but find it a little amusing.
“Alright then, thank you, Lord Doolooloo, for delivering the letter.”
“You’re welcome, Apprentice.”
After delivering the Academy’s letter, the Rook named Doolooloo flapped its wings and left Janna’s window.
“So it’s the final exam results.”
Looking at the note on the envelope, Janna shut the window, then walked to the workbench and neatly tore open the seal.

—White Coral Wizard Academy & Anthony-Rook】
Looking at the string of excellent “A+” marks on the transcript, along with the new addition of “First Place in the Year” compared to last semester’s results, Janna’s face revealed a satisfied smile.
“Nine courses—perhaps I really should take Miss Bell’s advice and rest a little. Five compulsory courses, four electives... for an ordinary apprentice, this would be nothing short of impossible.”
What’s more, Janna also had to take extra time on weekends to perform with the Nightingale Opera Troupe. Even at night, she replaced normal sleep with deep meditation.
Letting out a long breath, after thinking for a moment, Janna set down the transcript in her hand.
Then she took off her wizard robe and began filling the alchemical bathtub in the washroom.
“Forget it. Tonight, I’ll just relax—”
