Ming Li quickly discovered the little followers trailing behind her. However, she ignored them and continued towards the direction of the magic tower.
Upon seeing the tower suspended in mid-air, the group of elves following her froze. After a long moment, someone incredulously spoke, "She's not planning to challenge the tower now, is she?!"
"Is she crazy? How long has she been here?!"
"Does she know the consequences of failing the tower challenge?!"
"Should we go remind her?"
Hearing this, an elf pointed to not far away and said with a strange expression, "It seems... it's too late..."
Upon hearing this, the elves who were whispering instantly fell silent, their gazes shifting forward. Indeed, the area was empty, not a single person in sight.
The elves, "......Should we tell the teacher?"
...
At this moment, inside the magic tower.
As soon as she entered, Ming Li effortlessly reached the tenth floor.
The system, which had watched the entire process, went speechless. "Host, you're so wicked, leave some hope for others..."
Half an hour later, Ming Li expressionlessly swatted away the approaching elf puppet and set foot on the fifty-ninth floor, the final level.
Seeing this, the system suggested, "Uh, Host, should we have a little barbecue and rest here? If you leave so quickly, you'll scare them."
Upon hearing this, Ming Li's lips twitched. She ignored the system and, in a flash, cleared the fifty-ninth floor.
"Ding—"
"Ding—"
"Ding—"
"......"
Suddenly, thirteen bell tolls echoed across the academy.
Before long, the entire academy was enveloped in a green light.
Below the magic tower, a group of elves who had been spectating were stunned. The melons they were holding fell without them even noticing. They simply stared blankly at the magic tower before them, their mouths agape.
"She she she! She succeeded?! What kind of joke is this!"
"Is she really a freshman who just arrived yesterday?!"
"Holy crap! This must be fake!" Couldn't this be some big shot disguised as a novice to discourage them?
"......"
Soon, teachers arrived at the base of the magic tower.
Glancing at the elves still gathered there, whispering, a teacher cleared his throat and asked, "What's going on? Do you know who is inside?"
Hearing the teacher's voice, the group of elves instantly fell silent. After exchanging glances, an elf stepped forward and said, "Teacher, inside is a human, or rather..."
Seeing that he stopped mid-sentence, the teacher frowned and asked, "Or what?"
The elf continued, "Or a human who just arrived yesterday..."
The teacher, "???" What did that mean? He seemed to understand, yet he didn't, all at the same time...
Seeing the teacher's bewildered expression, an elf explained, "Teacher, the human who cleared the magic tower... is a freshman who registered at the academy yesterday..."
The teacher, "......"
While the teacher was still bewildered, the院长, who had been alerted, also rushed over.
He happened to see the young girl walking out of the magic tower.
"What is your name?"
The院长 walked up to Ming Li and asked excitedly.
Ming Li glanced at the middle-aged elf in front of her, who was dressed entirely in white, and said in a faint voice, "Li Li'er."
"You're human?"
Ming Li replied, "Mhm."
The院长, "......"
