“How is it?
Elysia, does this look alright?”
In terms of clothing, Arcana had tried her best to achieve similarity, especially that red-bottomed black lace miniskirt and white garter stockings, which were the most eye-catching features of the entire outfit.
These garter stockings and miniskirt were frequent guests in the ‘Nuannuan’ fashion coordinates used by female Mage players in the game back then.
She slowly spun around in front of Elysia as a demonstration.
Elysia clapped her hands and praised, “Very beautiful!
It’s cute yet carries a hint of coolness and majesty!
This outfit suits the current you very well!”
“Thank you!”
Arcana’s smile was like a blooming flower; her mood was excellent after receiving praise and recognition.
Before accepting Novai’s invitation to head to the arena, she still had one thing to do.
That was to test whether the power of the Heroic Sigils could be used within the Virtual Arena.
She had heard that using certain special Mental Magic within the Virtual Arena would be judged by the arena as a unique skill mastered by oneself and then recorded into the arena’s system.
Following the method Elysia taught her and the one she had practiced many times in that mental space, she activated the Sigil of [Reverie].
The Sigil of [Reverie] was successfully activated, and immediately after, a system window popped up in front of Arcana.
[Detected recordable unknown magic.
Record it?]
As expected!
Arcana clicked ‘Confirm,’ and then a naming window popped up; she entered [Reverie] as the name.
Next, she activated the remaining twelve Sigils in sequence, recording the power of all the Sigils into the Virtual Arena.
When she reached the twelfth Sigil, an achievement notification suddenly popped up.
[Congratulations!
You have achieved [Achievement: Innovative Magic Master]]
[Innovative Magic Master: Successively record 12 innovative magics not recorded in the Imperial Magic Database]
[Number of holders for this achievement: 3]
At that moment, Arcana broke into a cold sweat.
After clicking ‘Confirm,’ a second notification window popped up.
[Would you like to disclose your User ID in the server-wide announcement?]
Arcana didn’t hesitate for a second and clicked [No].
Disclose it?
How could she possibly disclose it!
The Virtual Arena announced last year that its user count had exceeded 2 billion; this achievement was held by only 3 people out of 2 billion.
She would be crazy to disclose her ID.
After clicking ‘No,’ the server-wide announcement was immediately released.
[Congratulations to Anonymous User for obtaining [Achievement: Innovative Magic Master]!!!]
[Congratulations to Anonymous User for obtaining [Achievement: Innovative Magic Master]!!!]
[Congratulations to Anonymous User for obtaining [Achievement: Innovative Magic Master]!!!]
Elysia also noticed the sudden server-wide announcement and chuckled as she looked at Arcana’s slightly overwhelmed face, “Oh my, it looks like you’ve become a big star.”
“I’d rather not…”
Arcana was a bit distressed; all achievements in the Virtual Arena were hidden.
You couldn’t see what achievements existed, nor did you know the conditions for obtaining them.
It was perfectly normal for an achievement to pop up while playing.
But she didn’t expect it to be such an achievement, with only 3 people having obtained it.
She was the fourth!
Even though she hid her ID, the staff behind the Virtual Arena could definitely query her ID and the real identity information of the registered user directly.
Furthermore, some top-tier hackers could also hack into the arena’s database to obtain data regardless of the cost.
She hoped the acquisition of this achievement wouldn’t lead people with ill intentions to come knocking in reality.
“Alright, don’t make such a distressed face.”
“Smile, always maintain a sense of longing and optimism for life.”
“If a cute girl is always worried, she’ll become less pretty.”
Elysia’s pure white index fingers gently pressed against the corners of Arcana’s mouth, ‘drawing’ a smile for her.
“Come on, give us a smile.”
Arcana smiled naturally.
Elysia put her hands behind her back, her smile radiant.
“See?
Isn’t this much cuter?”
“Yeah.”
Arcana replied softly.
Suddenly, in a burst of pink light, Elysia transformed into a chibi little angel.
This image was the form of the ELF, Elf Elysia, from honkai impact 3rd.
Having transformed into Elf Elysia, Elysia floated beside Arcana, her voice becoming milky and sweet, like a child’s.
“Alright, next let’s go see that cute little friend!”
Arcana reached out and gently touched Elf Elysia’s cheek.
So soft!
So tender!
“Oh my, don’t just touch a girl’s cheek like that.
It’s very reckless.”
Elf Elysia held Arcana’s outstretched hand, her tone carrying a hint of complaint.
“Elysia, why did you change into this?”
“Because the protagonist today is you, Arcana.”
Elf Elysia smiled knowingly, “I can’t steal the spotlight from you, the Holy Maiden, today.”
“I’m also very curious about how that knight plans to protect you.”
Arcana smiled helplessly, “Elysia, you’ve thought of everything.”
“Of course, I am an all-powerful fairy after all, hm-hm♪”
Arcana didn’t say anything more and sent a message to Nova, indicating she was ready.
Nova replied instantly, and a party invitation was sent immediately.
After agreeing, they immediately entered a 2V2 ladder ranked match.
Matching and entering the match happened without a single moment’s pause.
The entire process was extremely smooth.
By the time Arcana reacted, she had already appeared in the preparation room for the 2V2 battle.
And in front of her, a strange girl appeared.
The girl wore a pure white skin-tight bodysuit.
She was tall and curvaceous, especially the scale of her chest.
D, definitely at least a D or even an E cup.
Because she didn’t quite understand cup sizes yet, her visual estimation could only be based on her own cup size.
A size larger than hers was a D; a size smaller was a B.
Moreover, she was very tall, looking to be about 1.7 or 1.75 meters.
In any case, she was taller than herself.
“Nova?”
Arcana asked uncertainly.
“Yes, it’s me.”
Nova smiled naturally, not showing the social anxiety she displayed in reality at all.
However, what Nova did next exceeded Arcana’s expectations.
Nova suddenly knelt on one knee facing Arcana and took Arcana’s small hand in hers.
She quickly lowered her head and gave the back of her hand a light kiss, “My Holy Maiden.”
“Uh…”
“As your guardian knight, I vow to protect you.”
“I will not let anyone harm you.”
“I shall defend your sacred and brilliant radiance, letting it shine upon all things in the world.”
“Burning evil, judging sin, and upholding justice.”
“I am your sturdiest shield and your sharpest spear!”
This string of oaths was powerful, serious, and firm.
Nova Terra kissed the back of Arcana’s hand again, then stood up, looking down at Arcana’s stunned and slightly embarrassed face.
Then she revealed a bright and radiant smile.
As for Arcana, her embarrassment was currently off the charts, making her want to dig out a three-bedroom apartment in the floor with her toes.
Beside them, Elf Elysia burst into laughter.
Compared to Arcana’s current embarrassment, Elf Elysia only felt that this girl was very cute and special.
And it reminded her of Griseo, especially when Griseo would solemnly repeat chuunibyou and embarrassing lines in front of Kosma.
Nova, who only now noticed Elf Elysia’s presence, asked curiously.
“Holy Maiden, is this also a fairy guarding you?”
“What a cute and lively fairy lady.”
Arcana didn’t say a word.
She didn’t want to respond to Nuobeibei; it was too embarrassing!
Elf Elysia, however, responded very happily, “Oh my, thank you for the compliment, Miss Knight.”
“I am Ellie, the pink fairy designated by His Holiness the Pope to guard the Holy Maiden.
It’s a pleasure to meet you.”
Wait!
Elysia, why are you so skilled at this conversation!
Please, both of you, stop talking!
If they kept going, her toes would dig right through the soles of her shoes!
…
Meanwhile, in the dormitory in reality.
“Cana-baby!
Do you feel better?
Do you want something more to eat?”
Starshine, who couldn’t find her precious daughter in the living room, came to the bedroom.
Seeing her daughter lying on the bed wearing a VR device, Starshine sighed slightly.
She couldn’t help but mutter in her heart, would she rather play in the Virtual Arena than spend more time with her mother?
But on second thought, her daughter had just obtained magic power today.
Perhaps she went to the reality simulation mode in the Virtual Arena to experience the joy of wielding magic.
Thinking of this, Starshine’s mood wasn’t as gloomy anymore, and she regained her cheerfulness.
She pondered in her mind what magic would be best to teach her daughter first.
Should it be Life Magic, Elemental Magic, or perhaps a minor in Mental Magic?
It might not seem tempting right now but who knows what the future holds?
“And If you’re enjoying it, drop a Power Stone for me!”
