As they arrived at the entrance of the academy, they saw a crowd inside, with a blonde girl at the center, surrounded by boys who seemed to be almost chasing her. Natalia glanced at her sister Liya and whispered to herself, "I hope that girl doesn't notice us, otherwise it will start again."

"Well, well, Liya, you finally showed up," a voice said.

[Natalia sighed in her heart, "She really came after all."]

The blonde goddess was wearing a delicate school uniform, with a black cape similar to Liya's. However, her arrogant demeanor, coupled with her curly golden hair, constantly reminded everyone around her that she held a different and important position. She was a girl not to be underestimated.

Her straight and slender legs were wrapped in stockings, and Natalia shyly averted her gaze as she heard the sound of her high heels tapping on the ground.

The blonde girl approached the two of them, crossing her arms in front of her chest. However, her chest seemed to be just starting to develop, as it subtly moved up and down.

"Well, well, long time no see, Liya," she said.

Liya looked away and pouted. "I really didn't want to see you, Nana Viacoya."

"Oh? It's only been two days since vacation started, yet your mouth seems to have become sharper," Nana Viacoya said with a smirk.

"Hmph, how boring," Liya said as she turned and walked away. Natalia quickly followed, not wanting to become Nana Viacoya's next target.

"Oh? What's the matter, Liya? Are you feeling guilty?" Nana Viacoya taunted.

Liya abruptly stopped and turned her head, looking at Nana Viacoya coldly. "What do you mean by feeling guilty?"

"Of course, because your magic is no match for mine," Nana Viacoya said. "Or else, why would you be in such a hurry to leave?"

Liya squinted her eyes, seemingly not hearing what Nana Viacoya said. "If you don't want to die, then stay here. I'm not interested in accompanying you."

"Huh? What do you mean?" Nana Viacoya asked.

"As a fellow classmate, let me remind you that the first period is Alchemy class with Professor Maloch," Liya said as she walked away. She didn't want to get involved with this annoying girl.

Maloch Maet.

He was an elderly male teacher in his seventies, one of the longest-serving teachers in the academy. He had a long white beard on his chin and walked around the academy with a magic staff made of rotten wood. Natalia had encountered him a few times, and his long beard left a deep impression on her.

Maloch was also a very disciplined teacher. It was rumored that some nobles who were late or violated rules would have their names reported to the academy by him, resulting in immediate expulsion. They would never be able to apply to the academy again.

So, in the Ester Magic Academy, no student wanted their teacher to be that old man with a kind smile on his face, because you never knew when he would give you a harsh lesson that would leave you clueless.

After hearing Liya's words, Nana Viacoya trembled and her delicate jade face quickly turned gloomy as she muttered to herself, "That's right, the first period is Alchemy class with Professor Maloch! It will be bad if I'm late!"

Even if her family had power, she couldn't act recklessly in the Ester Magic Academy. She knew very well that the academy held immeasurable power, and compared to Ester, her family was as insignificant as a grain of rice.

She was very familiar with Professor Maloch's temper, and nobody dared to sleep in his class or defy him. Because those who tried had already disappeared.

Seeing Liya's figure getting further away, Nana Viacoya hurriedly shouted, "Hey, Liya, wait for me!"

However, Liya ignored her and continued walking at the same pace towards the Noble's Classroom Building.

After Nana Viacoya left, Natalia finally breathed a sigh of relief. To be honest, in the academy, the less he and his sister spoke to each other, the better, as it would only lead to trouble.

Before, he hadn't paid much attention to keeping his distance from his sister. When they first entered the academy, Liya had dragged him around, visiting this historically significant magic academy.And then, and then...

Natalia Chan was chased around the entire campus by a group of boys calling themselves the "Liya Guard", while Liya herself had no idea what was happening. Seeing Natalia Chan sweating and out of breath, Liya asked in an imposing manner, "Who bullied you, Xiao Luo? I will teach them a lesson for you."

At that time, Natalia Chan shook his head and waved his hand, saying that he was tired from running and came early specifically to see his sister.

He clearly remembered that after his sister heard this, her cheeks turned red like a ripe apple, with faint white mist visible. Liya quickly turned her head with a soft snort, took Natalia Chan's hand, and left the campus. Along the way, Natalia Chan wondered why his sister wouldn't look at him.

Taking a deep breath, Natalia Chan noticed that those boys who had surrounded Liya earlier were glaring at him with animosity. He shrank his body and quickly ran towards the other stone path opposite to where his sister went.

At the end of that stone path was the commoner teaching building he attended.

Liya looked at the elegant noble teaching building and turned her head to look at the path behind her. Although she couldn't see her brother's figure anymore, she felt a bit melancholic.

Liya looked at her own hands and said with some regret, "Today, I still couldn't hold hands."

Every time the two of them went to the academy together, Liya walked ahead while Natalia Chan followed behind. Although there was a sense of accomplishment in leading the way, that feeling couldn't compare to holding his little brother's hand. It was like that when they first visited the academy, feeling the warmth transmitted through Natalia Chan's hand and seeing his happy smile. Liya felt like her heart was melting.

But they had to maintain a distance between them, and it all started that day.

Pulling her thoughts back, Liya shook her head and continued walking towards the teaching building.

Natalia Chan, who was running on the road, turned around as if sensing something. However, he only saw several commoner classmates like himself. He sighed lightly and looked at his own hand, shaking his head with a bitter smile. "Today, I still didn't dare to hold my sister's hand..."

Since the day of visiting the academy, Natalia Chan had suggested to his sister that they should keep their distance. He also remembered that his sister's face at the time looked like she had seen doomsday, and she fiercely grabbed his shoulder and questioned him. "Xiao Luo, do you have a new woman?"

Natalia Chan had a puzzled look on his face. What was his sister even talking about? Why bring up a new woman? They had only been in the academy for one day, and they were just visiting. Why would his sister say something like that?
