From then on, Lucoco had one more daily task in the mornings: guiding Amy in magic.
In the gaming sense, it was a daily task, and guiding Prince Adrian’s training was no exception.
Now, at the end of each day, Lucoco’s experience bar could steadily increase by about 2%.
But…
What on earth was Raymond thinking?
She could understand alchemy, since she could genuinely teach that.
But when it came to guiding Amy’s magic lessons, she was a bit baffled.
Putting aside Skill Crystals, there were so many mages in the royal palace with the [Instructor] Imprint, weren’t any of them stronger than her?
Lucoco, of course, wouldn’t keep such a question bottled up to cause trouble; she just asked directly.
Raymond’s answer was simple: “Ten gold coins per day.”
Well! Whatever you say, old man!
That was pretty much how it went.
Nothing more needed to be said. Just teach everything she knew, that was the right approach.
She remembered clearly the set of things Lucia had taught her.
That should be enough to use!
And so…
Three months of game time passed just like that…
✦✧✦✧
It was deep winter in Versadis Kingdom.
The air was cold, and though it never snowed here, the ground was so chilly you didn’t want to stay on it for a second.
“The ground is cold, Your Highness. Get up quickly.”
Lucoco crouched in front of Adrian, holding a blade of grass and gently poking his cheek with it.
“I think… it’s quite warm.”
Adrian lay face down on the ground, responding weakly.
He felt the heart of this Nun lady crouching before him was the truly cold one.
Ever since Amy joined the daily training, Lucoco’s methods had become so ruthless it made one question life itself.
In short, she would first put on an extremely serious little face, use the most solid force and the fastest speed, combined with that so-called “No-Move Surpasses Having Moves” fighting style, to knock him down first!
Then, in a flash, she would transform into the sweet little sister posture of “I’m my sister’s little warm jacket,” coaxing (training) her own little sister into being utterly obedient!
In the end, little Amy, amidst a stream of sweet words like:
“Sister, you’re so amazing~ Sister is the best~”
“Sister Amy, you’re simply the idol of Morning Light!”
“Sister, sister, Morning Light has a new idea…”
…gradually lost herself and obediently began learning those unheard-of magic theories filled with a life-risking aesthetic from Lucoco.
The morning lesson time was also forcibly extended to almost noon.
In the final half hour, Lucoco would always have the siblings team up and cooperate, while she herself acted as the opponent.
At this time, she would enter her truly serious mode, capable of making even the “self-lost” Amy find herself again!
“Mmm… Morning Light… let~ let me… down…”
Amy, hung from a tree with a rope, issued a weak plea…
Lucoco glanced at the time; it really was time to end the class.
She waved towards the maids gathered together gossiping.
“Medics~”
“Coming~”
The maids swarmed over, skillfully performing “post-battle” medical care.
The daily morning lesson ended pretty much like this every day.
Lucoco rubbed her sore shoulders and waist, slowly walked over to the nearby bench, and just flopped onto it.
She let Are diligently wipe her sweat, massage her, and hand her water…
Well, the morning lesson task was almost finished too.
What she could teach Amy and Adrian, Lucoco had basically already taught them all.
Because a few days ago, Adrian had already reached the task requirement of possessing 90% of Lucoco’s normal strength.
Now, Lucoco had to activate the Saintess Marking to maintain a calm and effortless posture while knocking him down!
That’s right, she had already used her authority!
The task was complete. The next phase task was counting down.
✧✦✧✦
Speaking of strength…
The more she taught these siblings, the more Lucoco felt these two were absolute freaks among freaks!
First, Adrian, this severe sister-con!
Just from sparring with her, his level skyrocketed from Level 22 all the way to Level 29!
And her? She was only Level 26 now, okay?!
And that [Sword Demon B] Imprint had actually upgraded to [Sword Demon A].
Then there’s that little Princess!
This girl actually possessed the legendary [Magic Path Mech-Soldier SS] Imprint!
And the recently awakened [Songstress A] Imprint.
This [Magic Path Mech-Soldier] thing…
It really made Lucoco green with envy (and made her strikes even more ruthless).
Transforming her bare hands into hand cannons to fire magic missiles, and summoning Magic Path Armor to cover her body and cosplay a Kamen Rider!
Which of these wasn’t a superpower boys dreamed of?
Moreover, as her level and rank increased, this ability would only become more and more exaggerated.
Oh~
Right, she also learned Lucoco’s Weapon Enchantment technique and particularly liked enchanting wooden swords into shiny ‘lightsabers.’
As for level, Amy had just reached Level 20, and the [Songstress] Imprint had just been embedded.
The effect of [Songstress] was exactly as the name implied: singing to add buffs.
Lucoco could already imagine the scene when this girl grew up: summoning Magic Path Armor, singing to amplify her teammates while dashing across the battlefield…
‘Ah~ The more I think about it, the more envious I get~ How about increasing the intensity for the next few days? Hehehehe…’
The Nun lady looked up at the sky, secretly deciding on the devilish training plan for the final few days.
✦✧✦✧
Returning to the VIP room, she had a nice little nap.
Just past noon, Lucoco plunged headfirst into her own Alchemy Tower.
Hmm…
Some situations had also arisen recently in the Alchemy Tower.
Amy’s progress was too fast, attracting the attention of the Palace Alchemists.
So, the old fellows came knocking, holding attitudes of不服气, seeking guidance, or curiosity, etc.
The result was that there were now people in every corner of Lucoco’s alchemy workshop.
They weren’t noisy or disruptive, and occasionally even helped Lucoco with tasks.
Especially behind Adrian, there were always a few old men crowded together, quietly watching him flip through that required text…
Now it was Required Text Two!
As soon as Adrian fainted, that seat would be theirs…
His Highness the Prince would be kindly placed in the [Safe Room] to sleep soundly.
As for the original Required Text One, they had already passed it around and read it several times.
According to them, the content in this little booklet was quite Berserk, giving a prickly, itchy feeling of teetering on the edge of life and death?
It wasn’t like the current mainstream approach that advocated gentleness and a step-by-step routine.
Instead, it was very much like the alchemy notes those maniacs produced during the [Scarlet Era].
Every formula, preparation method, material combination, etc., in the booklet made these people, who saw alchemy as their life, feel as if they’d been enlightened, yet also felt an unbearable itch.
Because, realizing the things recorded in the booklet wasn’t easy; one could clearly sense the author had deliberately hidden things!
At this point, they needed to rely on “Little Teacher Morning Light” to clear up their doubts.
Or, to蹭一蹭 Princess Amy’s class, and when Amy encountered difficulties, impart their own insights unreservedly.
This way, Amy could quickly complete her daily lessons, and this way, Little Teacher Morning Light would use the remaining time to answer their questions.
Little Teacher Morning Light was always so kind, explaining theories in a simple yet profound way that made everything clear.
The content of that booklet also became simple and easy to understand under her explanation.
To repay Little Teacher Morning Light, these alchemists were truly unstinting with precious materials, ancient hidden notes, and the like.
Lucoco was very pleased.
This protagonist-like treatment made her roll around on her bed every night in delight, letting out strange cackles.
Honestly, she felt she was the one gaining the most.
Every day, she only needed to focus on researching her own lessons, diverting a little attention to take care of Amy.
Those Palace Alchemists, in order to get Amy to finish her lessons earlier, would share some knowledge she hadn’t heard before.
Compared to what Lucia taught, what these alchemists talked about was gentler and more complete,正好能填补 her某些跳脱性的思维, lowering the probability of failure.
Especially after Amy finished her lessons, these people would also discuss with her some difficult problems and conjectures they encountered.
This period was what made Lucoco feel she gained the most.
The alchemists thought Morning Light was their teacher, but Lucoco felt these people were her mentors.
Because of these people, her [Spirit-Covering Potion] progress had made significant headway, and she had found more substitute materials for the second ingredient with the meaning of communicating with the Netherworld.
So, to repay these lovely old men, she generously made several copies of Required Texts Three, Four, Five, and the Required Text Six she was currently studying, and gave them out.
The alchemists were so moved they almost knelt down and called her恩师. They hadn’t even finished Required Text Two, and now they had the remaining booklets.
However, these alchemists didn’t know that in Lucoco’s Player Bag, she still had Required Texts Seven, Eight, Nine, Ten, and the [Alchemy Master] Advancement insights.
Yay~
She had hidden things too.
✧✦✧✦
A few days later, the task countdown ended.

……
Lucoco sat on the ground without any grace, panting heavily, looking at the task settlement screen, ecstatic yet mixed with deep confusion.
The set effects were simply too strong.
They didn’t seem like Level 20 Blue Quality set effects; more like Gold Quality.
‘Are the rewards for main quests always this outrageous?’
‘If I could get enhancement stones to raise the level and quality, wouldn’t that be over the top?’
“Morning Light~ Come help! Brother Adrian is about to run out of breath~”
Amy, who had almost been beaten into a ‘大破’ illustration, covered in dust and dirt, was tugging at Adrian, whose lower half was stuck in a mud pit, looking half-dead and foaming at the mouth.
“He won’t die. At most, he’ll sleep until tomorrow afternoon~”
Lucoco stood up and waved her hand, not a shred of sympathy in her voice.
“Oh~”
Amy pursed her lips, let go, and squatted by the poolside watching Adrian.
“Sister Amy, want to go to Snack Street? I’m feeling a bit馋了.”
“Go! I want to go!”
Thus, the adorable little Princess decisively abandoned her own brother and trotted off happily after a certain Nun lady…
