Chapter 187: Fourth Round - Artifact Refining Test (Part 1)

Hearing a footsteps approaching her, Amalia lifted her head and saw two boys standing in front of her.

The angular lines of her face, resembling a well-crafted blade, were adorned with a faint warmth from the brilliant sunset behind her, dispelling the once distant aloofness.

Her long dark hair and dark eyes, akin to black crystals, shimmered with a serene and translucent glow, seemingly capable of drawing someone in.

Under her gaze, the two boys blushed even more intensely, they look like a prawns that was dipped in boiling water.

The boy with glasses was the first one to react, he then nudging his companion frantically.

The boy with short yellow hair beside him, have an apple-like cheeks and particularly sweet smile, retrieved a box from behind him and handed it to Amalia while blushing.

"Amalia, I’m Ricardo Darin from the artifact refining class, I usually seated in the first row. You may not know me, but I wanted to introduce myself and give you this gift. Inside is a small cake. I hope we can be friends in the future."

The boy with glasses seemed surprised and glanced at his friend, "You said you were going to confess at her, how did it turn into making friends?"

Amalia glanced at him, and then at the box in his hand, she said resignedly, "Thank you, but I don’t like sweets. I appreciate your kindness, though."

With that, she walked past them.

"Is she rejecting me?" The yellow-haired boy whos was being rejected with his first confession, hung his head despondently.

"I think so," the boy with glasses replied, while looking at his friend.

"She declined from the start; so, it might not be a good idea to push it further."

"Ricardo, were you just confessing to Amalia?" At that moment, a surprised voice suddenly chimed in.

As he walked over, he warned, "I advise you not to get too close to her; I heard she has some character issues."

Ricardo Darin furrowed his brows as he looked at the newcomer. ’’I don’t think she looks like someone who has character issue.’’

’’Judging someone just by appearances is really unreliable. Some people’s true nature isn’t evident from the outside. I’m worried you might be deceived her, which is why I’m cautioning you,’’ the boy kindly explained.

Recalling Amalia’s aloof and cold attitude, as well as her swift rejection, Ricardo Darin found it all very incredulous.

However, he leaned more towards his initial gut feeling. ’’How do you know?’’

’’Grace Rodriguez mentioned it. She said Amalia is her niece. I don’t think she’d tarnish her own relative’s reputation. It indicates there might be some problem with this person.’’

’’Ah, it’s her! Now I understand.’’ A glimmer of understanding flashed in Ricardo Darin’s eyes.

The boy was puzzled, and ask him: ’’Understand what?’’

Shaking hus head, Ricardo Darin replied, ’’Nothing much. You’ll know in the future. Can I ask, how did she describe Amalia to you guys?’’ Ricardo Darin was amiable, treating friends and classmates well.

Both boys and girls liked her.

The boy then relayed everything that Grace Rodriguez had said to him before, and warning him to be cautious around Amalia, before Ricardo Darin departed.

’’Grace Rodriguez must really hate her niece very much, to thinking she dare to spread such disgusting remarks about Amalia.’’ The boy in glasses never had any favorable opinion about Grace Rodriguez, so he didn’t anything earlier.

He trusted what he saw with his own eyes.

He had never witnessed Amalia conversing with any boys in class, let alone being intimate with them.

If someone like Amalia did something like that, he’d admit that he was blind.

’’Ordinary folks usually won’t verify the rumor and end up being half-believing with such rumors. No wonder Amalia’s reputation has always been so poor. There were rumors before about her surpassing Rasler Yoder to become the top student in the artifact refining class, but now it seems that might have been just a rumor too,’’ Ricardo Darin added thoughtfully.

’’Fame brings gossip, and being highly talented has become synonymous with controversy.’’ The boy with glasses sighed with regret.

Due to Grace Rodriguez spreading groundless rumors everywhere, inadvertently, many boys who had developed a fondness for Amalia become hesitated, which also brought a considerable calmness to her surroundings.

However, Mighel Zepeda and Elena Sandoval were furious when they heard that rumors.

It was obvious that despicable woman Grace Rodriguez, was causing trouble deliberately, in order to tarnishing Amalia’s reputation.

They knew Amalia definitely wouldn’t care about something like that.

Reputation, such a flimsy thing, sometimes the more you explain, the murkier it becomes, leading to an appearance of guilt, and only solidify the rumors.

So, they came up with a retaliatory plan.

This matter wasn’t notified to Amalia.

By the time she found out, the rumors had spread like a blizzard in winter.

Amalia hadn’t received a reply from Kenny Lin yet, and the next day was marked as the arrival of the fourth round exam.

The fourth round was quite strict, and testing the students’ ability in artifact refining, with the school randomly setting the questions.

Normally, this artifact refining test would be tested at the end of the round.

However, the school unexpectedly placed this test in the fourth round.

The fifth round is likely to be even harder than the fourth round or it was unrelated to artifact refining.

Due to major reforms in this year’s curriculum, many policies and practices had changed.

Just by observing the change in the first round to a computer-based test, it was evident that the current exams couldn’t be compared to the past.

As the exam began, Amalia glanced at the newly displayed exam question on the screen.

Below were several restrictive conditions, which intensifying the difficulty of the test.

Three minutes later, the screen disappeared, and replaced by materials that was placed on the desk.

Two amulets, one is water-type amulet and the other is fire-type amulet, both of the amulet were designed as the attack-type amulets.
