They started putting on the clothes, relying on each other’s common sense.
After applying pomade to their hair and neatly combing it, a dazzling appearance was complete.
Even among themselves, they praised each other excitedly.
“Both of you look really cool. With this, we could conquer the continent with our appearance alone.”
“The saying ‘clothes make the man’ is really true.”
“I hope my sister compliments me on looking cool.”
Indeed, it would be nice if Prodia liked it too.
Upon Luca’s words, the two men secretly hoped she would like it.
With excited hearts, they headed to the corridor where she was waiting.
Look, see how awesome we are!
But.
“Ding, you all get zero points.”
There’s no way that would happen!
The three men began to inspect their appearances, each expressing incomprehension.
Did they tie their ties wrong, or did they use too much pomade? Ah, they should have buttoned all the shirt buttons. Just stop being conscious of Prodia for no reason!
However, the mistakes they made were entirely different.
“No noble wears clothes alone in the world. You should have called a servant right away.”
For a reason they couldn’t have imagined, all three opened their mouths wide.
“Prodia, you should have told us that sooner.”
“The fact that I didn’t think of that right away means you’re not ready to be a noble yet.”
“Don’t nobles have hands? Do they always ask others to do such simple things?”
“Iritus always uses magic because he finds it bothersome.”
“Can’t my sister do it for me?”
“If you ever call me with your clothes in disarray, I’ll report it to the security force.”
After finishing her nagging, Prodia glanced at the three men.
In terms of the end result, they looked impressively splendid to the point that it made her eyes narrow.
‘Although they were far from the answer I wanted, all three dressed well. They also have a sense.’
With the well-dressed three men, Prodia led them to the library in the Marquis’s mansion.
What awaited them now was the endless hours of memorization.
Prodia laid down an enormous amount of books and notes in front of the three men.
Thunk! The table rattled due to the sheer volume.
Ed, surprised, adjusted his glasses. “Wh-what is all this?”
“These are the past questions of the Imperial Civil Service Exam and the secret books I personally created.”
At her words, the three men read the titles of the books one by one, descending.
Imperial Civil Service Mock Exam, Devouring Imperial History, Learning Noble Eloquence, Principles of Imperial Studies, Prodia’s Problem Bank 1000 Questions…
“Commoners cannot have other occupations. So, I think it’s no different from selecting imperial officials. The exam won’t be much different from the Imperial Civil Service Exam.”
Prodia picked up one book and slammed it on the table.
[Destroy the Civil Service Exam Practical Part in 3 Days]“Don’t worry. I will teach you an easy way to memorize from now on.”
Thus, Prodia’s intensive lecture began.
“I’ll ask a question. Iritus? How many emperors were there in the Abeem Empire?”
“…How would I know that?”
“Luca?”
“I don’t even know how many emperors are currently in power.”
Prodia looked silently at Ed.
“The 6th emperor, right?”
“Correct.”
Wow.
Iritus and Luca turned to Ed, impressed.
“Hmph.”
Ed smiled proudly and adjusted his glasses.
“Ed is a special case, and most people don’t live by memorizing things like that. However, such problems can appear in exams in this format.”
Prodia turned to the blackboard and started writing down the imperial genealogy.
[Te-Dash-Yung-Dash-Te-Dash-Se-Dash-Mun-Dash-Tan-Dash-Se-Dash…….]
At that moment, Ed’s eyes widened. “Oh, this is made by taking the initials of the names of the emperors throughout history.”
“That’s correct. From now on, you will memorize this like a song.”
Iritus and Luca’s expressions also brightened. “Indeed, it seems easy to memorize.”
“Sister is a real genius.”
“Of course, you all are smart enough to memorize it quickly without going to this extent. However…”
Prodia pointed to the ceiling stacked with books and smiled slyly. “No matter how great a person is, to study all of that within a week requires some tricks.”
A week? The three men protested, asking why it had to be a week, as there was still plenty of time until the competition.
But Prodia was firm. “During the remaining time, you must solve practice exams. There’s also practical training left. I believe you, the greatest geniuses of the Empire, can do it without a doubt.”
With that said, Prodia smiled brightly. Her appearance seemed like the gates of hell.
There was no way to escape.
From that day on, the three men were buried in piles of books, memorizing everything about the history of the empire, etiquette, nobility, current affairs, basic science, and all aspects of society.
⭐️⭐️⭐️
Prodia was an excellent instructor who knew how to use both the carrot and the stick effectively.
After the rigorous training, she provided a break immediately.
“Take a short rest. Gather in the training room again in an hour.”
They walked like zombies and gathered in their dormitory, as if they had made a promise.
The dormitory, which they initially despised, had become the only sacred place.
… because it was the only place where Prodia couldn’t enter.
Ed threw his glasses onto the desk, lay on the bed, and pressed his eyes with his fingers.
“Now I understand. The secret behind her 99.99% success rate in the civil service exam… Anyone who failed must have died from exhaustion in the middle.”
Everyone agreed with his words.
But the problem was that even after being manipulated like this, Ed’s excited heart didn’t settle down.
Despite deceiving me about the information, her teaching skills as a teacher were real.
In Ed’s eyes, everyone was growing at an astonishing speed.
Moreover, the image of Prodia teaching them kept coming to his mind.
She even personally created those excellent reference books.
Why is her handwriting so beautiful? It makes people excited.
When she waved the baton, it felt like my heart was swaying along…
Suddenly, Ed was surprised.
When did thoughts of Prodia fill my mind completely?
‘Please, get a grip. I can’t lose the successor’s position because of infatuation.’
He took a deep breath and calmed his mind.
In the process, Ed failed to notice that Luca was staring at him intently.
In Ed’s disheveled appearance, which was different from usual, Luca could easily notice.
He began to harbor feelings for someone in his heart.

Synopsis
During a voyage at sea, Jiang Yang accidentally captures a merman.

Jiang Yang looks at the merman obediently rubbing her palm like a puppy: “You call this fierce and brutal?”
Servant: I heard that mermen have no human nature.
Jiang Yang looks at the merman with wet puppy eyes, obsessively calling her ‘A Yang’ like a childish infant: “You call this having no human nature?”
With great difficulty, she releases the merman back into the sea and returns to shore.
Who would have thought that in less than half a month, the merman, who should have been freely wandering in the South China Sea, would shed his scales, endure the pain of losing his tail, transform into human legs, and come ashore to find her?
He kneels at her feet, rubbing her palm, with merman tears rolling down: “A Yang, don’t abandon me.”
