The Hero Kicked Me Out of His Party, So I Turned Him into My Maid - Chapter 58

Given that she forgot to tell Mira how to create a magical vortex in the magic circle yesterday, causing the magic circle to go berserk, Brienne’s instruction today was more careful and focused on avoiding danger.

“I’m back.”

When Mira looked up from between her textbooks, she saw Ariel push the door open and walk in. She was stunned for a moment.

Ariel’s lips curled up high, and she seemed to be bathed in light, even her little black leather shoes seemed to sparkle.

“Ariel, can we lift our ban on attending classes now?”

“Um?”

Ariel turned her head at the sound, her hair tracing a shimmering arc in the air:

“Wait, I’m a little thirsty.”

Ariel responded lightly, her voice rising slightly at the end.

Mira watched as Ariel turned to pour water, her movements noticeably smoother than usual, as if she were dancing with the kettle and resonating with the flow of water.

Ariel, with her back to Mira, slowly savored the faint aroma of tea in her glass, smiling on the surface but feeling a little flustered inside.

I seem to have gotten a little too carried away, to the point that I forgot my reason was to “argue with Vera.”

Mira, seeing that she was in a great mood, assumed she had successfully defeated Vera, which was why she asked that question.

At this moment, Ariel gradually detached herself from her emotional exchange with Eve and Lysser and faced the more realistic situation.

“No, I was just passing by the academy’s trading post when I saw that the rare alchemy material I brought back had been sold. Now we have money to upgrade some equipment.”

“That’s right!”

Mira casually tossed out her academy-issue staff, a small black stick that guaranteed the casting of basic magic.

However, when casting basic spells, the power of the little black stick is weaker than that of the other worst staves.

Because normal staffs are inlaid with a gem for casting spells, while standard staffs are not.

“Fighting with a standard-issue staff will definitely result in a crushing defeat…”

In the final practical test last semester, Mira used a standard staff to fight against the third-worst student in the grade. It was because of the standard staff that she lost the fireball battle.

Ariel mentioned that her wand was left with the hero’s party, so she should probably get a new one too…

“But…I don’t have any money…”

Mira had fled her tribe, so no one could provide for her daily expenses. If it weren’t for the academy’s assistance, waiving her tuition and other fees, and her occasional free meals cooked by Ariel, she probably wouldn’t have been able to continue her studies.

Mila, in this state, would certainly not be able to afford the cost of upgrading her equipment.

Mira also wanted to register as an adventurer with the Adventurers’ Guild and take on quests to earn some money in her spare time while attending school.

However, due to his physical condition, going on missions is extremely dangerous. If a part of his body malfunctions while he is on a mission alone in the wild, who can he rely on to save him?

If you don’t earn money from missions and buy better equipment, no team will accept you.

For Mila, this is a vicious cycle.

“Mira, what are you still worried about at a time like this?”

Ariel touched Mira’s head, but with a little force, she felt that the wig seemed to have shifted slightly, and she felt that if she touched it any further, the wig would be pulled off.

“I’ll pay for Mira to get you a better staff. How can a witch like you be without her beloved staff?”

“Is…is that okay?”

Mira initially wanted to refuse. She felt a little embarrassed because she had always been spending Ariel’s money, and now she needed her money to buy a new staff.

However, the allure of the staff was already very strong for her.

When I had health problems before, the standard staff was still usable, albeit barely. Now that my health has been cured by specialists, the standard staff only hinders my performance and must be replaced.

“Why not? After all, it’s me who’s making you study so you have to get stronger, it’s me who’s making you need to get good grades on your finals. You did it all without saying a word, and I feel a little bad about it, so I’ll make it up to you with the staff.”

“Yay!”

The Trento Wand Shop is the witches’ favorite shop.

Legend has it that its founder and first owner was a witch, so the Trento Wand Shop understands the specific needs of witches.

The walls of the Trento Wand Shop are lined with tall shelves that reach the ceiling, displaying thousands of wands neatly arranged, a sight to behold.

On the display stand in the center of the store were several wands with designs that were clearly unique. These wands were called “magic wands,” and they far surpassed ordinary wands in both performance and appearance, with each wand possessing its own unique special ability.

Similarly, those wands are quite expensive, and the Trento Wand Shop always recommends that wands be made to order, as only such wands are the most suitable for you.

Lynn and Phil pushed open the shop door. Lynn didn’t stop in front of the wand, but walked straight inside.

Only then did she realize that Phil was still examining the wand as before, making no attempt to hide her desire to possess it.

“Come on, we can’t afford a magic wand!”

Lynn urged Philin on.

Film was somewhat displeased:

“Lynn, you used to like looking at wands, why aren’t you looking at them this time?”

“We still have class this afternoon, Philin. Let’s hurry up and buy the staff, or we’ll be late for class and lose credits again.”

After making her selection, Philin took a brand-new staff and went to the front desk to pay.

Lynn, however, had empty hands and did not choose any staff.

Film had some doubts:

“Lynn, don’t you want to change your staff? I remember your staff was a gift from your teacher when you were an apprentice.”

Lynn shook her head:

“It’s alright, I’ve already gotten the new staff. Philin, you should hurry up and settle your payment, class is about to start.”

After urging Felin to settle the payment, Lynn didn’t wait for Felin and ran straight to the door to open it for her.

Outside the door, two people were looking at Lynn in surprise.

“Hey, isn’t this Lynn?”

Ariel greeted her with a smile.

“Oh…oh…Ariel, you’re here to exchange your staffs too?”

Lynn suppressed her fleeting look of disdain and responded to Ariel with a smile.

“I still want to thank you and Felin for yesterday’s tutoring. I wonder what tonight will be like…”

Lynn was very anxious because Phil was dawdling and wasting too much time, and class was about to start.

If I went out now and rode the witch’s broom, I could barely make it to the classroom.

Therefore, this is not the time to chat idly with Ariel.

“We’ll be there tonight. But why are you two at the staff shop at this hour? Don’t you have class this afternoon?”

Ariel, Ariel, get out of the way!

“Is that so? There are still many things we don’t understand, and we would appreciate your guidance. What kind of food would you like to eat? I’ll have the maid cook it for you.”

“No, I mean, we have classes this afternoon, why are you here?”

Lynn became even more anxious. Was Alyvril unable to understand what she was saying?

Ariel paused deliberately, showing no intention of moving aside, blocking the doorway firmly, then her smile widened:

“Have you forgotten, Lynn? Mira and I are banned from attending classes!”

I’m so pissed off! Ariel!

Lynn cursed Ariel in her beautiful native tongue in her mind.

They were deliberately blocking the doorway to make me late for class!
