Chapter 174: Artifact Refining College Exams (Part 2)

Amalia furrowed her brow.

"Stop staring at others; I’m asking you." Professor Frans’s eyes remained fixed in their direction.

Whenever he glanced at Amalia, he seemed to catch her.

Isabella Xiao nervously stuttered, "I-I saw you refining artifacts... Professor, you’re... very skilled..."

"Yes, anyone with eyes can see I’m refining artifacts, and I’m skilled. I asked for your feelings. Do you have to give me these two dumb sentences that any idiot would understand?" Professor Frans’s stern gaze left no room for escape.

"If you put the effort you use to please your instructor into refining artifacts, you might have succeeded by now. Enough, sit down. Amalia, you speak."

Isabella Xiao, with reddened eyes then sat down.

Amalia who either inadvertently involved or intentionally chosen by Professor Frans, stood up.

Amalia stood helplessly, "The most significant impression I got from observing the artifact refining process was its seamless flow. For instance, in using the essence unity crystals, the common practice is to fuse them in the latter part. Most artificers believe this step would retains the briliance of the artifacts, but this approach is actually misguided..."

Essence unity crystals are precious items.

After centuries of excavation, they’ve nearly been depleted.

With no new resources were discovered, people have been consuming the existing resources, and leading to the gradual scarcity of essence unity crystals.

Consequently, the attention were shifted to those stones that containing numerous impurities, and some of which were impossible to be removed.

The stones with impurities undoubtedly have inferior effects compared to those without impurities.

Thus, some artificer would come out with ways to make up for it.

In reality, the brilliance of artifacts doesn’t solely rely on essence unity crystals; those artificers have inverted the true priorities.

Essence unity crystals only serve as a supplementary role.

What truly enhances the brilliance of artifacts is the artificers themselves.

After Amalia finished, the classroom fell into a silent hush.

"Please sit down," Professor Frans nodded, devoid of any extra expression on his face.

However, it was apparent to everyone that he was quite satisfied with what Amalia had said, and It seems he had expected it.

"Now I finally understand why you didn’t attend my classes before. With such observation skills and understanding, it indicates a decent level of artifact refining. Those previous classes were like child’s play for you. If you can maintain this level consistently, taking extended leaves wouldn’t be an issue for you, and the same goes for all of you, but you must as skilled as her."

"Her answers had almost no errors, which aligns with the ideas I wanted to convey to all of you."

"Some things shouldn’t be inverted. What is artifact refining? It seems like you’re refining artifacts, but in reality, you’re refining yourselves...?"

A class concluded under Professor Frans’s impactful education.

Isabella Xiao was greatly affected and remained silent afterward.

Amalia also stayed silent.

After the class, while packing up to leave, she was suddenly called out by Isabella Xiao.

"Hey, why didn’t you wait for me?" Isabella Xiao caught up from behind.

Amalia turned around to see her beaming smile, and seemingly having forgotten about what happend in the class beforr.

When she reached her, she said, "I’m heading back to the dorm."

It meant they were going different ways.

"How coincidental, I’m also going back to the dorm. You live in the single-person dorm building, right? Maybe our dorms are close by. Let’s go together," Isabella Xiao cheerfully suggested, and reaching out for Amalia’s arm.

Amalia who is not accustomed to such closeness, evaded her hand and simply uttered, "Hmm."

Isabella Xiao didn’t mind it and continued, "You might not know something since you didn’t attend classes. The artifact refining college is having an exams."

"What exam?" Amalia genuinely had no idea.

"You don’t seriously think only those from the weaponry departement that needed to compete for resources, do you? Our artifact refining college also needs them too, and it’s even more intense than the weaponry departement because it determines whether we can access more advantageous refining materials."

"But our artifact refining college is different from the weaponry departement. We don’t have many students as them, and we only need to pass the school’s assessment to acquire the corresponding resources. Conversely, resources will diminish if we don’t."

Isabella Xiao seemed to understand that Amalia was clueless.

Without her asking, she explained it in detail.

"I’ve arrived," Amalia suddenly found herself at her dorm.

"Can I come in and have a look?" Isabella Xiao suddenly asked.

she noticing her gaze and smiling.

"Professor Frans said you’re very impressive, so you must be. I’ve always admired impressive people and wondered if their living spaces are the same as ours."

"The same," Amalia replied.

"There must be something different," Isabella Xiao didn’t believe it.

Seeing her hesitate, Amalia opened the dorm door to show the room inside to her.

Isabella Xiao immediately darted in, which is too fast for Amalia to stop her.

"Wow, your dorm is so tidy, unlike ours, it’s like a pigsty. Did you clean it by yourself? That’s impossible, you must have hired someone to clean it," Isabella Xiao exclaimed.

"I cleaned it by myself. Have you finished looking?" Amalia asked as she entered, and overhearing her comments.

"Not finished, not finished. Don’t be stingy, let me have a look a little longer," Isabella Xiao walked further and spotted a door, she attempting to open it, but Amalia stopped her.

"You can’t open that," Amalia’s expression turned serious and stern.

"Is that the bedroom? Then I won’t look. You don’t have to be so serious. Do you have any water here? I’ve talked too much and now I’m parched," Isabella Xiao was taken aback slightly.

Amalia remembered that if she hadn’t mentioned about the exam, she might have only known about it just before it began.

So, she went to pour her a glass of water.

When she returned, she found Isabella Xiao was leaning on her office desk.
