Positive little sun, magical girl, I am awesome

Chapter 351 Sincerity leads to spiritual success

Lilith and her group came to the classroom where they had their first class when they first entered the academy—the cemetery hidden in the dark forest in the northwest corner.

A lot of small stone tablets had appeared here at some point, and among the latest ones, they saw Sean's name.

"Will his soul be here watching us?" After a long moment of silence, Bobby asked Hannah, who was friendly with dark elements, with red eyes.

Hannah came over and patted Bobby on the back. "I don't want to lie to you, Bobby, but he's gone. Not everyone leaves behind a soul after death. He left..."

"Why?" Bobby stared at the low tombstone. It was so small. Why did they make the tombstone so small? Were they worried that the cemetery would not be able to accommodate it?

He wiped his tears vigorously. "He is such a lively person, why wouldn't he come back to scare us?"

Even if I come back and call him a piece of shit it would be fine.

"It means he is a brave man." Lilith said softly, "He is not afraid of death, nor of separation. Maybe, maybe he has been reincarnated..."

"What is reincarnation?" Lulu's voice was nasal.

"Death may not be the end, Bobby." Lilith said softly as she looked at the silent cemetery. This was only the second time she had set foot here in these years, and her state of mind was completely different from the first time.

"Maybe he will have a new beginning. He will be born into a new family and grow up carefree again. Somewhere... this is called reincarnation."

"Really?" The look in Bobby's eyes was heartbreaking. With the death of his partner, he was the most miserable among them, and was being eaten away by guilt every day.

"...Really." Lilith was just trying to comfort him, but when she saw his look, she nodded affirmatively.

"Compared to becoming a ghost wandering alone in this world, he must have found a happy new life for himself. Isn't this the best? Don't let your guilt become a shackle that traps him."

Bobby couldn't hold it in any longer and burst into tears in front of his friends.

By the time they came out of the cemetery, it was already dark. Because they had met Sean's grieving parents today, no one was in the mood to chat, and Lilith and Catherine had too much homework to catch up on, so the crowd dispersed early.

"Tuk-tuk-tuk."

There was a knock on Catherine's door.

"Come together. I'm afraid I won't understand just by reading the notes. With you here, I can ask questions and we can discuss with each other." Lilith walked in on her own, holding a thick manuscript that almost covered her head, and made a place for herself on Catherine's desk.

"You want to discuss more than just your homework." Catherine closed the door and helped tidy up the desk, gathering up the spread-out notes.

"Of course, you want to use my ink? I mixed the colors myself." Lilith took out her own chair from the ring and sat down, occupying half of the desk without any hesitation.

"……it is good."

Catherine also sat down, and the two of them faced the window, just in time to see the bright moon.

Where should we start? Lilith couldn't help but get distracted as she looked at the moon. This was where she entered Catherine's dormitory time and time again.

"Those gargoyles..." Lilith decided to start the conversation from something farther away. "They seem to have a special way of communicating. When I was traveling outside for a few days, I met other gargoyles heading from the west to Ozler."

"I guessed it. The gargoyles that came to the college have also left. Mother said they brought great help to the East Coast." Catherine also stared at the moon in a daze. Although they were doing homework together, neither of them picked up the pen.

Catherine also remembered that the gargoyles also existed in the murals. They surrounded the elven goddess, holding spears and fighting against the void with her.

"Why did you..." Lilith bit her lip and asked, "Why did you lie to Ian?"

That was her partner, and Lilith never thought that they would hide things from each other. When Ian asked about where they were going, she was going to tell him the truth. Ian was so worried about her, and Lilith felt uncomfortable lying to him.

"I don't dare to trust anyone now, Lilith." Catherine's soft words made Lilith turn her head to look at her.

"--I'm still thinking about you." Catherine explained, "About the inexplicable dragon symbol that appeared on your body, about that Fustwen..."

"You still believe his nonsense." Lilith felt helpless. She thought she didn't have to prove herself to Catherine. "I swear I have never eaten a dragon's heart."

"What if it's your mother, Lilith..." Catherine said softly, carefully looking at Lilith's expression, as if she was afraid that she would get angry.

Lilith really wanted to get up.

"I don't mean to ask about your background, Lilith, and I don't care whether you are a dragon or not!" Catherine held Lilith's hand to prevent her from getting up, and looked at Lilith with burning eyes.

"I'm just worried about you." Catherine looked Lilith in the eyes and said seriously.

Lilith always understood Catherine's thoughts immediately in the past, but now she looked confused for the first time.

"I heard from the elves that Fustwinben was the last dragon in the world, and that Zephirion was created by the mother goddess of the elves to accompany her. She was already extremely powerful during the holy war and was one of the heroes recorded. If, I'm just saying if..."

Catherine took a deep breath.

"You, or your mother, ate her heart, and now your physique has indeed changed due to the dragon blood. Haven't you noticed, Lilith? Your wounds always heal much faster than others, and your chanting of spells rarely stagnates due to poor mental power. You can even master some elven magic."

Lilith nodded. She couldn't deny this. She used to secretly rejoice in herself that she was a genius, but now it seemed that she had been overthinking.

"Do you think this is a coincidence, Lilith? The white dragon named Fustwin, whether willingly or forced, gave his heart to you, and it had to be you."

"No." Lilith said with difficulty, "It can't be a coincidence."

It was more like someone had secretly paved the way for her.

"So, why you? Who chose you?" Catherine's voice became softer and softer, almost a whisper.

Her hand holding Lilith was trembling slightly. She couldn't help but be afraid. She felt that if all this was driven by human beings, then someone must have buried a huge conspiracy on Lilith. Where would that person be at this moment? Would he be watching Lilith nearby?

Whenever Catherine thought of this, she felt a chill down her spine, so she couldn't trust anyone.

There was a moment of silence in the room.

"Tell me more about what you saw in the Elf Forest, Catherine." Lilith's eyes were like a pool of burning ice-blue water under the moonlight and lamplight.

She used to try her best to absorb and sniff out all the information in this world all the time, but as she knew more and more, she finally felt a little tired. There were countless questions in her mind that were tangled into a ball of wool, but she couldn't catch the end of the ball of wool. She was tired of chasing it, and now she just wanted to stop and listen to Catherine talk.

"Before that, I also have something to ask you." Catherine looked into Lilith's eyes and said, "The thing you talked about with Bobby today... reincarnation? Is it true?"

"Sincerely, your Majesty."

"What do you mean?"

"It means that if I believe there is, then there must be."
