Chapter 14 : Mars isn't Civilized
Not really??
Winnie stared blankly at Isatia's back, completely baffled.
Why were most of these fated heroines such enigmas?
Oh, except for Shikondell, that silly little girl. With her IQ, she probably didn't even know what riddles were.
Winnie began pondering the words Isatia had just spoken to him, completely different from the causes and consequences of the Carillian Empire's collapse as recorded in history books.

Which one was the truth?
However, any hidden history must contain illogical aspects. No matter how well disguised, there would inevitably be inconsistencies, however subtly they might be.

Winnie's gaze involuntarily turned toward the distant energy spire located on the main island of Carillian Academy, visible from any spot, at any location.
That was the most mysterious place in the entire Carillian Academy. Winnie recalled that in the original work, the reason Carillian Academy was regarded as a succubus in the eyes of the Demon Pillars and their followers was precisely because of the Order Spire's existence. For some unknown reason, Erunes and the other Demon Pillars showed intense interest in it, and many of their followers felt the same.
And how did the Carillian Academy authorities respond? They definitely knew the Demon Pillars and their followers were after the Order Spire, yet they never revealed the reasons, silently accepting this reality.
Was the 'thing' stored within the Order Spire of the same type as the 'thing' that destroyed the Carillian Empire?
Ѐ n̂u ma
If what Isatia said was true, then why hadn't they disposed of such a dangerous object immediately? Why keep it stored within the academy? Didn't they fear that one day it might explode, wiping out every single teacher and student?
Or perhaps Carillian Academy had already reached a point of no return, left with remnants from the Carillian Empire era, and with the empire's collapse, no new technology had emerged capable of resolving the issue?
That seemed highly plausible. Originally, Carillian Academy had belonged to the Carillian Empire. When its direct superior suddenly disappeared into thin air, the academy would have fallen into disarray, probably split into several factions, each with their own agendas.
Ah, forget it. Why bother thinking about these things? Let the fated heroines favored by destiny handle the shifting worldlines and their trajectories. What did he have to worry about? If the sky collapsed, wouldn't there still be that silver-haired dwarf to hold it up?

Winnie returned to his dormitory. After all, tomorrow was the start of the new semester, he had to go back to work.
The next morning, awakened by Shikondell's wake-up service, Winnie put on his uniform and stood dazed in front of the mirror. The groggy, half-asleep state, after taking a bath, instantly disappeared, and he snapped fully awake.
Ŵ е b̌n о v̌.е l̄ Е́n̂ ů.m ǎ
‘Whoa, looks like I've gotten even handsomer again? Ah, once again woken up by my own stunning looks on schedule. Can't be helped, it's just too sinful!’
Winnie smoothed back his hair, feeling quite self-indulgent.
After eating breakfast prepared by Shikondell, the two set off together toward school.
"Dell, Dell! Over here, here!" Then, a familiar yet slightly childish voice called out from the road.
Ah, that familiar voice, Winnie instantly knew who it was. Silently shifting his gaze sideways, he saw the golden-haired elven girl, Milian, chirping away like a little magpie beside Shikondell.
“Dell, Dell, where did you go during the break? I invited you to come back with me to the Elven Forest to meet my sister, but you kept refusing.” The golden-haired elf girl Milian pushed over, completely ignoring Winnie aside, even attempting to push him aside.

Hmph? This annoying elven brat doesn't recognize me, the notorious young master of Camella capital, at all?
“Well, I didn't go anywhere particularly worth mentioning,” Shikondell replied, her tone noticeably cooler upon seeing Milian, clearly unwilling to continue the conversation.
Yet this golden-haired elven brat completely disregarded others' expressions, utterly failed to sense Shikondell's disinterest, and continued her overly familiar chatter.
“Eh? So Dell spent the entire holiday alone at the academy? How boring! You should've said so earlier, come with me to the Elven Forest. There are so many of my kin there; they all sympathize with your situation. Isn't that better than staying here surrounded by these annoying humans?” Milian said, puffing her cheeks and shooting Winnie a glare.
Winnie couldn't help but laugh.
‘So just because I didn't confront you, you started getting bold, huh?’
Еn̊ um̊ а̊
“Hoho, you foolish golden-haired brat, don't they say 'check the weather before going out, check the mood before entering a room'? You can't read the atmosphere at all?” Winnie said seriously, staring at the golden-haired girl.
“Can't you see Dell clearly doesn't want to deal with you? Yet you keep pestering ‘him’, what terrible judgment!”

“Hmph, you stinky blue-haired brat! Don't think just because you share a dorm with Dell, ‘he’ will actually like you!” Milian retorted, eyeing Winnie like a rival.
‘Hmph, just as I suspected, the golden-haired elven brat definitely has feelings for Shikondell.’
‘Hoho, if that's the case, I should tease her even more.’
“Foolish elven brat, do you even know where your beloved Dell went during last semester's long break?” Winnie gasped.
Е̇ n úm а..і̊ d
“That's none of your business! ... Wait? You don't mean, Dell, you?!” Milian's eyes instantly widened as she realized what Winnie was implying.
“Hehe, guess?” Winnie deliberately avoided answering, leaving Milian to suffer in suspense.
“Dell, you... you didn't spend the holiday with this stinky blue-haired brat, did you? Together... at his house?!” Milian looked utterly incredulous.
“That's none of Milian’s business,” Shikondell replied coldly, determined to give her a clear answer.

This response effectively confirms Winnie's claim.
Milian instantly felt as if several arrows had pierced her heart, cold and hollow.
Ё nu m̆а̇. ї d̃
Ouch, that was way too painful.
It felt like her childhood friend, her childhood sweetheart, had just been stolen away by a stinky blue-haired human.
When clearly, she was the one with golden hair.
'Virtue + 150.'
'Current Virtue: 10734.'
Thus, the golden-haired elven girl was once again thoroughly humiliated, head drooping, expression vacant, even the tuft of hair on her head sagging down, as she slipped away dejectedly.

‘Haha, another elven girl was thoroughly humiliated, so satisfying! And I gained so much Virtue too.’
With Virtue accumulating this much, it's about time to spend it all.
Winnie thought eagerly
Students gradually entered the classroom. Winnie scanned his classmates, many familiar faces were chatting and catching up, sharing what they'd done during the break, new experiences and discoveries.
Winnie didn't have many stories to share. No choice, poverty limits his mobility. If he were rich, he'd travel the world during every long break.
Besides, he didn't have many friends in class, almost no male friends at all. As for female friends, aside from Shikondell, the only one he could really talk to was...

“Good morning, Winnie~” Looking at the silver-haired beauty sitting not far away, elegantly propping her head with one hand, Winnie couldn't help but click his tongue inwardly.
This silver-haired dwarf nut seems to be in good spirits, looks like the Angel's Kiss had worked, her injuries gradually healing.

Ah, what was already an unpleasant first day of semester just became even more unpleasant upon seeing Aesphyra.
“Eh? What's wrong, Winnie? You look like you really don't want to see me,” Aesphyra tilted her head, narrowing her alluring eyes, feigning ignorance.
“Ah, Aesphyra, I must say, coming to class today, truly admirable perseverance despite your conditions,” Winnie said calmly, playing it cool.
“Oh? What do you mean?”
Е̊ ǹ ů.mǎ . і̄ ḋ
“Exactly what I said. When we met the other day, didn't you tell me you had a cold uterus? You even asked me to get you a sick leave, did you forget? Why are you here in class today? If your body isn't well, you should rest in the dorm,” Winnie said in a moderate tone, not too loud, not too quiet, ensuring Shikondell nearby could hear.
The elven girl instantly covered her mouth, her eyes widening with astonishment as she glanced at Aesphyra.
Aesphyra smiled coldly at Winnie.
'Virtue + 40.'

'Current Virtue: 10774.'
“Winnie really reminded me, yesterday, you delivered something for me but left in such a hurry, I didn't even have time to invite you for tea,” Aesphyra said with a sweet smile.
Е̄ n ũ mа́_
“Ah, that's too formal, isn't it? We're such good friends, saying things like that means you really don't see me as an outsider. Just a cup of tea, whether I drink it or not doesn't matter,” Winnie said, gradually shifting his seat closer to Shikondell.
“Oh no, that won't do at all. I haven't properly expressed my gratitude to Winnie yet,” Aesphyra said with a blooming smile.
Gratitude? If he'd stayed any longer yesterday, he might never have made it out alive!
Winnie thought silently to himself.
“How about this, Winnie, if you have time, let me treat you to a meal? You've already lifted a huge burden off my shoulders; it wouldn't be right not to properly thank you,” Aesphyra said, resting her chin on her hand, smiling sweetly.
“A meal? Where to? Not another maid cafe, I hope?”

“Mmm~ If Winnie wants it, why not?” Aesphyra grinned.
“No, no need. Forget it, maybe another time,” Winnie waved his hand in refusal.
Soon, the long-missed sound of the class bell rang out, a melody Winnie hadn't heard throughout the entire holiday. The homeroom teacher entered the classroom, textbook underarm, adjusting his glasses as he looked over the neatly seated students.
Listening to Carillian Academy's unique piano chime of the class bell, Winnie felt a touch of nostalgia, even though he still suffered heavily from syndrome.
“Students, it's been a semester. I hope none of you have completely neglected your studies,” the teacher said.
“Before the opening speech, let me relay the academy's instructions.”

"Recently, a new historical ruin dungeon entrance has been discovered on the small island at the southeasternmost edge of Carillian Academy. Currently, this dungeon remains unstable. To prevent accidents, all of you must avoid approaching that island. However, since the island has always been underdeveloped, I doubt any of you would go there anyway," the teacher explained.
Upon hearing this, the students instantly became curious.

Most of these ruins were left behind by once-great powers, with those from the ancient Carillian Empire making up the majority.
“Teacher, what era does this ruin come from? Is it from the Carillian Empire?”
“The current situation inside remains unclear, but it's certain this newly discovered ruin is not from the Carillian Empire,” the teacher replied.
“Eh??” This only heightens the students' curiosity.
Ё ńů mа̂
In existing human records, the most famous is the Carillian Empire, the only unified empire in human history. Its prolonged rule connects all human cultures, forming a shared cultural identity.
However, the ancient civilization was clearly not the Carillian Empire. Before its rise, the continent was filled with numerous fragmented human factions, constantly fighting each other.
Among them, many powers absorbed others, growing into strong nations, but none ultimately escaped the erasure of 'time.'
Even the Carillian family, masters of time control, were eventually destroyed by the very divine favor they commanded, vanishing into the river of time.

“Is it a human civilization ruin?” a student asked curiously.
“For now, yes,” the teacher answered.
Е̂ n û m а̌ . і̀ d
“Teacher, based on current research, can we determine which ancient civilization this ruin belongs to?” another student asked.
“We cannot say for certain yet, but based on existing research, it's highly likely this ruin belongs to the 'Mars' civilization.”
Mars??
Winnie slightly frowned, this name felt familiar, yet he couldn't recall where he'd heard it.
That's strange, he had zero interest in history, and never intentionally read historical books. Why would he remember this name?
Winnie felt puzzled, until he accidentally stumbled at the black-haired girl by the window, who had just closed her book and was now attentively focusing on the podium.

Ah, that Mars civilization... Wasn't that the one Isatia was researching earlier??
If he remembered correctly, the last time Isatia powered down and collapsed onto him, the book she was reading was about something this civilized.
