“They must not have been simple peasants if they could gain a foothold there.” Lisa had yet to encounter a demon, but she had heard about their savagery from various sources.

Even though she was not interested in the demons, she was extremely interested in the demonic cores inside them.

“Obviously! Those three are now lords of the Forsaken Land. They practice a different set of rules there, and they could even disregard the Emperor’s ruling. They are like independent rulers in those cities, and that’s so cool!” Even though he was a young master from the Black Tortoise Family, Taehyung had profound respect for those lords with special privileges.

Lisa shot a sideways glance at the extremely excited Taehyung and spoke as if she had just thought about it, “Even though they have this competition, are you sure there’s a slot for an herbalist?”

Herbalists and priests are auxiliary professions, and they rarely participated in battles. Those in other professions could end the fight in a second if it were a one-to-one match with the herbalists.

At least the priests had a light shield and bind as a safeguard mechanism, which then made the herbalists the weakest among all professions, and they were also the ones without any fighting abilities.

Taehyung looked like he had rolled up his sleeves in preparation for the battle in half a year’s time.

Taehyung’s lips twitched, and his originally exuberant expression immediately wilted. He lowered his head and softly said, “Herbalists would only be tortured if they do join the competition. Furthermore, we have to be in the top ten positions in our academy before we can represent the Saint Laurent Academy in the competition.”

Over the years, one could not find the name of an herbalist in the top ten or even the top 100 list.

It was truly pathetic!

“Instead of wasting time thinking about this, you might as well learn how to produce sleeping potions. There will be an exam next week, and if you fail again, they might kick you out of the violet class.” As she finished the last bite of her lunch, Lisa took the opportunity to remind someone of their predicament.

Every class would allot assignments to their students, and if the student were to fail four assignments in a month, then they would need to bid farewell to their class.

Unfortunately, Taehyung had failed all three assignments that month, and if he were to fail again, he probably would have to say goodbye to the violet class.

When Lisa said that, Taehyung’s face immediately paled.

He had worked hard in his classes, but how did he get such tragic results when he had followed the steps that he had memorized so thoroughly?

Furthermore, Lisa could produce the perfect potion even though she was always missing for the better part of the day. She was also the fastest in class, so the teacher had only high praise for her.

Other than the time he spent sleeping and eating, Taehyung worked hard for his herbalism classes almost twenty-fours a day. It also seemed like Lisa only spent a maximum of five hours per day on her classes. However, even though he nearly worked himself to death, he had failed to pass his assignments. On the contrary, the bastard who often disappeared on some journey managed to pass all of the assignments.

It was unfair! It was extremely unfair!

Taehyung was depressed and frustrated about his plight. Even though he acknowledged Lisa’s talent in herbalism, it did not alleviate the unfairness that he felt.

“Say, Little Leo. I’ve been very good to you during this period, so could you…”

Even though he felt that it was unfair for him to be in that predicament, Taehyung remembered his initial plans to ride on one’s coattails.

Lisa knew about Taehyung’s little scheme like the back of her hand, so she knew that he had wanted her advice.

She thought that the herbalism classes were quite easy for her. Most of the time, she only needed to view the production process of the potion, and she would immediately understand it. As for her talents, she credited that to the original owner of her body, who must have inherited her mother’s talents.

Her studies in the Archer Division were on track, so she did not have to work as hard as she previously did. That was why Lisa reluctantly agreed to Taehyung’s request.

“Ha! I knew that you’re the most loyal person. When I pass this obstacle, I will buy you an azure crystal potion set.” Taehyung was in a good mood, so he was not above giving gifts as a gesture of gratitude.

The azure crystal potion set was an apparatus that herbalists used to produce potion. Not only could it increase the effects of the potion, but it could also enhance its stability. It was an object treasured by all herbalists. One tube would cost at least a hundred gold coins, and the whole set would set one back around ten thousand gold coins.

“Have you struck the lottery?” Lisa glanced at the generous Taehyung.

“Do you not remember about the good show at the Archer Division a few days ago? I told you to come with us, but you didn’t want to. Eunwoo started a bet, and he managed to rake a huge sum of gold for us.”

“…” That group of beasts actually used her challenge as a gambling party!

Lisa discreetly looked down on those four beasts.

“Alright, it’s getting late, and I have something to do in the afternoon. I’ll tutor you tomorrow evening instead.” Lisa sighed and stood up as she prepared to leave.

“Speaking of which, what are you busy with these days? You’re acting so secretive.” Taehyung propped his chin and looked at Lisa.

“It’s a secret.” As she said that, Lisa left and did not turn back.

As she passed through the gates at the entrance of the Herbalist Division, Lisa slipped into a storage room. While she was in there, she took off her Herbalist Division’s badge and then replaced it with the Archer Division’s badge.

The most significant benefit of her entering the violent class in the Archer’s Division was that she did not have to change her clothes. All the divisions had the same uniforms, and the only difference was the badge pinned on their chest.

“Try out for that competition.” Just as Lisa was about to put on the disguise mask, Jungkook’s voice suddenly echoed in her mind.

“What do you mean?” Lisa questioned Jungkook as she changed into the disguise mask.

She thought of the competition as a stage for some students to compete for fame. The rewards for the competition were quite the sham too. Why would one need a deserted land filled with demons?

“I’ve mentioned it before. I have to devour demonic cores to recover my strength. Of course, this is the last resort. If you can find a batch of live demons, the evil aura that they radiate is more effective than the demonic cores.” Jungkook was usually quiet, but when he spoke, it was something important and meaningful.

Lisa was speechless when she heard that. To find a batch of live demons?

Did that not mean she had to restrain a group of demons?

“Of course, if you can find some high-level demons, then I’d have a faster recovery time. I’d be able to undo your seal sooner too.” Jungkook did not think there was anything wrong with his suggestion.

“High-level demons… Are you sure we can keep them in captivity, and not feed me to them in the process?” Lisa’s lips twitched. Even though she was tempted to get her seal undone sooner, she thought that her life was essential too!
