Could she really survive in a place this competitive? \"Reina...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I think I might not be able to enter the academy after all...\" Enna's voice cracked as tears welled up in her eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She clung to Reina's arm, her body trembling slightly with frustration and embarrassment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Earlier, she had acted so confident, even excited, before the exam began, but now it felt like all her confidence had been shattered into pieces.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How embarrassing!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She couldn't help but feel ashamed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Here she was, hugging Reina's arm like a helpless child, while Reina, with her usual composed and calm demeanor, stood there unaffected by the ordeal they had just gone through.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In a twisted way, Enna found herself jealous of Reina. How could she remain so aloof and unfazed, even after that exam?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I studied really hard; you know?\" Enna continued, her voice growing more emotional as she vented her frustrations.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But what was up with those questions? Those weren't meant for a mere student to answer! I mean-who even knows that much?!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I'm sure you did well enough to pass.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Enna's eyes widened in disbelief.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Easy for you to say! You still have the practical exams to save you. But for students in the general department like me, written exams are everything!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She squeezed Reina's arm tighter, her frustration clear in her voice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If I fail this, there's nothing left to fall back on...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Reina opened her mouth to respond but found herself at a loss for words.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She understood Enna's stress-she really did-but comforting others wasn't exactly her strong suit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Letting out a small sigh, Reina reached out and gently patted Enna's back in an attempt to console her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You'll be fine...\" she said softly, even though she wasn't sure if her words were enough. \"Huhu~ what was even the point of all that hard work-\" Enna mumbled, her shoulders slumping under the weight of her exhaustion and frustration.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her mind was still swimming in the aftermath of the brutal exam, and she was starting to spiral into self-pity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before she could lament any further, a familiar voice broke through her thoughts, casual and almost mocking.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sup. Did you guys pass?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Enna's eyes widened as she recognized the voice, while Reina's expression instantly\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>darkened, reflecting a mix of annoyance and disgust.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Both turned to see Flamme standing there with her usual smug grin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Flamme! You're here as well!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Enna exclaimed, a spark of excitement lighting up her face as she rushed over to grab\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Flamme's hand eagerly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hm? I don't know how much the exam rattled your brain, but you should really only choose\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>one sickness.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Enna blinked in confusion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What do you mean?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Flamme flicked her forehead lightly, her smirk widening.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Being dumb or stupid-you should seriously pick one, Enna.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"T-That's mean!\" Enna's eyes immediately welled up with more tears, her sensitive heart\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>unable to handle Flamme's sharp words.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing her reaction, Flamme snickered and reached out to pinch Enna's cheeks.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Kuku, you're too cute when you cry-\" she teased, tugging at Enna's soft cheeks like she was\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>playing with a doll.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Shtapp~\" Enna mumbled through squished cheeks, trying to resist but finding it strangely comforting at the same time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Despite the mean-spirited teasing, there was something oddly warm about Flamme's touch, like she was being cared for in her own strange way.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Reina, however, wasn't having any of it. Her eyes flared with anger as she watched the scene\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>unfold.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without a second thought, she strode over and pulled Enna away from Flamme's grasp,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>glaring at her with cold intensity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What are you doing here?\" Reina's voice was sharp, clearly not in the mood for games.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Flamme chuckled, completely unfazed by Reina's hostile tone. \"Hm- Aggressive as ever. Still mad about what happened on the ship? And here I thought we were all friends now.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Silence,\" Reina snapped, her eyes narrowing. \"I don't remember befriending you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Flamme's grin only widened at that.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Oh? But Enna might, right?\" She turned her attention to the confused girl, who was still rubbing her cheeks from Flamme's earlier pinch.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Huh? Uh... well...\" Enna stammered, caught off guard by the sudden shift. She glanced between the two of them, feeling the tension simmering in the air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her mind raced, trying to find something, anything, to ease the growing conflict.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I mean... we all got along on the ship, right? Maybe we can all be friends...?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Or at least be friendly with each other.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Reina crossed her arms, clearly unimpressed, while Flamme's grin softened into something\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>more mischievous.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"See? Even Enna thinks we could all be friends.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Reina shot Enna a look, but the poor girl was still too caught up in her desire for everyone to\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>get along, missing the underlying tension between the two.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In her mind, a bit of positivity might be the key to putting their differences aside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Flamme stretched her arms lazily, looking like she had all the time in the world. \"Well, Reina, I guess we'll just have to try harder to become friends~,\" Flamme said with a teasing smile that bordered on playful mockery.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She twirled a strand of her hair between her fingers, eyes gleaming with mischief. Then, with a dramatic flair, she added, \"So now that we're all technically friends, why don't\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>we tour the academy together? I'm pretty sure the short tour we had yesterday wasn't enough to showcase all the highlights the academy has, right?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Reina's expression remained flat, her distrust for Flamme evident in the way she crossed her arms. \"You sound like you know a lot about it,\" she remarked coolly, her tone devoid of\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>warmth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Oh, but I do~,\" Flamme purred, her grin widening. \"Though I can't tell you the reason why, fufu~. Anyway, how about it? Why don't you two join me for a little tour?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'Haah- how annoying' Despite her outward confidence, Flamme couldn't help but mentally wince as she recalled\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Snow's angry voice and piercing gaze that had practically frozen her to her core.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She was here under strict orders, forced to apologize or make amends in some way, shape, or\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>form to the people she had \"technically bothered.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That, unfortunately, included both Enna and Reina.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While Enna was tolerable, even cute, Reina was a different matter altogether.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Flamme's feelings toward her were laced with disdain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Every time she looked at Reina, she felt a sense of deep disappointment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As someone who admired power and strength above all else, Flamme found it disgusting that\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>someone of the same bloodline as Riley could be so... weak.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was a bitter pill to swallow, knowing that Reina lacked the potential to rise to any\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>significant power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In Flamme's eyes, this made her inferior.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, Flamme had similar contempt for most weak people, but the fact that Reina was\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Riley's sister only amplified her distaste.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How could someone like Riley, with his immense talent and presence, be related to someone\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>so mediocre?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Granted she was still technically assessing Riley's true worth at the moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was still infuriating.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If it weren't for Snow's orders, Flamme would have gladly avoided Reina altogether.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But here she was, trying her best to play nice, all while biting back her true thoughts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Enna, on the other hand, once again oblivious to the tension, had her wide eyes lighting up at the idea of exploring the academy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Together with her so-called new friends!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She glanced between Reina and Flamme, her natural optimism getting the better of her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That sounds fun!\" she chirped, clearly excited by the prospect.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"We didn't get to see much yesterday, and I've been dying to explore the place mor- \"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Can we join in as well?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The excited words were abruptly interrupted by a gentle yet commanding voice that seemed\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>to resonate with authority, instantly grabbing the attention of the three girls.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Near the grand staircase, two figures gracefully descended from the second floor of the\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>examination hall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The first, a robed girl with a slender and elegant silhouette, wore an outfit similar to Flamme's but with a sleeker design, accentuating her poised demeanor. Although her hood obscured most of her face, the visible part of her lips held a kind,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>welcoming smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Vanessa!\" Enna's eyes lit up with recognition, and before anyone could stop her, she shot\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>out of Reina's arms and rushed toward Vanessa like a child reuniting with a long-lost friend. Her excitement was palpable, almost infectious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Vanessa, slightly taken aback by the incoming ball of energy, reacted quickly, catching Enna before she could trip over her own feet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She embraced her gently, her smile widening with warmth as she held Enna close. \"Fufu,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>you're still rushing into things, Enna,\" she teased, patting the girl's head affectionately. \"Ah-hahaha,\" Enna laughed awkwardly, a blush spreading across her cheeks as she scratched her head, realizing how hasty she had been.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The excitement and embarrassment mixed, making her more flustered than before.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Vanessa, still gently holding Enna, turned her attention to Flamme.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her smile was kind, but there was a subtle confidence in her eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So, how about it? Can we join as well?\" she asked, though it was less of a request and more of\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>an invitation as if the choice had already been made.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Vanessa casually gestured toward the other figure standing just behind her. Flamme's curiosity immediately piqued as her gaze shifted from Vanessa to the woman\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>standing in the background.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unlike Vanessa's soft elegance, this second figure radiated an aura of authority and power\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>that far surpassed that of a mere student.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She was taller, with long, flowing platinum blonde hair that shimmered like starlight in the\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>academy's soft lighting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her striking crimson eyes were sharp and deep, almost glowing with a quiet intensity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The regal air that surrounded her left little doubt about her status-she was no ordinary\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>student.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For a moment, Flamme's usually playful expression faltered, replaced by a flicker of surprise\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>and intrigue.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She recognized her immediately-the heir to one of the most powerful kingdoms in the\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>realm, a figure of immense political and magical influence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'Stacia Alger Del Luna'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The princess was renowned not only for her beauty but also for her unmatched skills in\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>combat and strategy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Why someone of her caliber was walking casually among students was a mystery in itself, but Flamme quickly reminded herself not to question the whims of royalty. Understanding the mindset of royals was often a futile endeavor, after all. Shaking her head slightly, Flamme regained her composure and flashed her usual\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>mischievous grin. \"Sure-\"\u003C\u002Fp>",2112,"2026-06-03T14:40:38.925Z",1,"novelbin.me","cf8e94368dc499d1a830a0cbd6aa565036ea657b31f8cb8c8942780a239ea898","how-to-survive-in-the-romance-fantasy-game-chapter-214","how-to-survive-in-the-romance-fantasy-game-chapter-212",727,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fhow-to-survive-in-the-romance-fantasy-game-cover.jpg"]
