After returning from the Shadow World, it was already Saturday morning.
Dekan and Cornelia had skipped three days of classes without violating any student regulations during their vacation.
There was nothing happier than discovering it was the weekend after the vacation.
They leisurely enjoyed another two days off.
And quickly, a new week arrived.
After Thursday's lunch, Dekan and Cornelia, as usual, came to the library.
They sat at the small round table they often used.
But now, there were often three chairs at the small round table.
Croix occasionally joined them.
For example, today Croix would come later to study human magical texts with Dekan.
"By the way, Cornelia, you should write the report again this time around," Dekan thought for a moment and said, placing an empty report on the table.
They needed to complete the report by Friday at the latest, and today's afternoon was the latest deadline.
Because Dekan's identity was very special this time, he felt that writing it from his perspective would be too heretical.
Fortunately, when he entered the transitional space, he still had the Shadow World Viewing Program running.
The contents of the achievement interface proved his innocence.
Otherwise, after leaving the Shadow World, he would definitely be subject to repeated, troublesome examinations.
"No, no problem!" Cornelia put the report in front of her and picked up her pen, eager to get started.
After the success of the previous report, Cornelia's confidence had soared. Even her efforts in learning the Norton Kingdom language had become much more diligent.
Dekan thought for a moment and advised, "This time, our report doesn't have to be so heavy on the literary side. The style can be a bit more relaxed."
Last time, she almost wrote "The Rejoice Scriptures." It was quite surprising that it had passed the approval process.
"Yeah," Cornelia thought for a moment, then nodded seriously.
Then, she wrote in the title field, "Shadow World - Snow Mountains Travelogue~"
Upon seeing this sentence, Dekan had already started to furrow his brows.
But he resisted the urge to hold Cornelia's small hand.
He decided to continue reading.
Because only by knowing the problem could he address it and help Cornelia correct her literary issues.
Cornelia continued to write in the report content section:
"Date: December 20th, went to the Snow Mountain Villa (it was snowing heavily outside, but it was warm inside the residence; the detective game experience on the first day was fantastic!)"
"Transportation: The Shadow World was responsible for the entire journey, and we hardly spent any time journeying."
"Ticket Booking: This was mainly about arranging a time to enter the Shadow World with Hevenlit Magic Academy. The Shadow World took care of everything for free!"
"Scenery: The size of the scenic area was limited, but the view was excellent! The entertainment activities were also fun, such as sledding and skiing. However, the main focus of this trip was the mansion party. Dekan called it a 'house party,' and I'm really looking forward to playing it again in the future!"
"Dress Code: The Shadow World provided us with clothing that matched our roles! Cornelia was the detective, and Dekan was the assistant! There were also many costumes prepared in the bedroom, so we could dress up without affecting our relaxation."
"Dining: We mostly prepared the food ourselves. The Shadow World provided plenty of ingredients and various kitchen utensils!"
"Record: Here's the highlight! High-definition Shadow World Viewing Program is amazing! It recorded many beautiful moments for us!"
"Note 1: Cornelia obtained a book that she can't put down at the tourist site. It's the best souvenir! I will cherish it!"
"Note 2: We made good friends with the fellow travelers we teamed up with and have plans to play together in the future!"
...
Looking at the content Cornelia wrote, Dekan's eyes widened.
He was completely dumbfounded.
Although Cornelia's Norton Kingdom language skills had improved significantly over the past two months, Dekan now realized that she needed some proper guidance.
He had only asked Cornelia to tone down the literary aspect of the report. Not to write a travelogue!
Cornelia put down her pen, looked at Dekan with eager eyes and waited for his feedback.
After a brief moment of eye contact, Dekan's expression quickly turned into a helpless smile.
"You wrote it very well."
In the end, he decided to swallow his sharp criticism.
Cornelia let out a relieved sigh and smiled happily.
Dekan decided to submit the report tomorrow. He might as well take this opportunity to gauge Professor Arnold's tolerance for reports.
Just as he was about to put the report away, Croix approached.
He pulled a chair and looked at the report paper between Dekan and Cornelia.
"Are you writing a report?"
"Yeah!" Cornelia eagerly picked up the report from the table and handed it to Croix. She was looking forward to her other teammate's evaluation.
Croix sat down at the small table and read the report carefully. After a few seconds, he looked up, wearing a puzzled expression as he glanced at Dekan.
Cornelia asked nervously, "What's wrong? Did I write something wrong?"
"No, no, it's written with a lot of life. It felt very refreshing," Croix tried to force a smile and returned the report to Cornelia.
"Oh!"
Cornelia's voice immediately brightened.
"I'll go find a book."
Croix stood up.
As he passed by Dekan, he discreetly tugged at his clothes.
Dekan understood Croix's meaning and also stood up.
He said to Cornelia, "I'll go find a book too."
"Okay."
Then, Dekan and Croix went together to a bookshelf further away.
"Dekan, did Cornelia learn Norton Kingdom language on her own?"
Croix asked with a serious expression.
He had recognized the severity of the issue.
Dekan replied, "She used to learn it on her own, but later, I taught her."
Croix asked, "Then why did she write the report like that?"
Dekan sighed, "I don't know. I've been trying my best to teach her but it seems I'll have to provide more guidance in the future."
Croix seemed to suddenly realize something.
"Is it possible... that because you taught her, that's why her Norton Kingdom language is so off?"
Dekan remained silent.
After circling the library together, they returned to the desk.
Dekan patted Cornelia's shoulder with a serious expression.
"Cornelia, regarding the Norton Kingdom language, I've taught you what I can. It's time for you to move on to the next stage of learning. In the future, if you have any questions about this language, feel free to ask Croix. Although both he and I come from the kingdoms borders, he is, after all, a nobleman with a more refined literary background than me. Also, next semester, you can choose a language-related elective course."
"Oh, alright!"
Cornelia nodded happily.
She felt her efforts were recognized. She believed that she would soon master this language and be able to communicate smoothly with everyone. To achieve this, she decided to work even harder.
