"So today, let me first assess your foundational knowledge."

Sylutia was dressed in a white blouse with a simple blue skirt, appearing bright and lively—a significant improvement over the unchanging black plain dress she had worn for the past while.

In the training ground's rest area, the young woman hung a small blackboard and began tutoring her two classmates.

After some discussion and assessment, she quickly understood their situations.

Komea's issues weren't actually serious. Aside from some particularly profound and obscure sections she didn't understand, she grasped most of the knowledge but had simply forgotten some things she hadn't memorized well.

Karen's problems were much more severe. Not only did she merely recognize terminology without understanding the connections, but she also had many issues with basic arithmetic and writing vocabulary.

The road ahead is long and arduous, the young woman thought to herself.

But she still had to try—she couldn't give up from the start. She began helping Karen with foundational knowledge, while for Komea, she only needed to reinforce the forgotten knowledge.

...

"Whew, I thought Tia was going to keep talking forever," Komea said, slumping over the table. She had just watched Sylutia spend a long time helping Karen with basics.

"Everyone has limited comprehension capacity. Teaching too much in one day isn't beneficial. Additionally, you both need to train—we can't neglect that because of this," she said, putting away her notes.

"Oh, right." Sylutia remembered something and looked at Karen with curiosity.

"Karen, could you teach me how to shoot a bow?" She had never tried archery before.

"Tia actually wants to learn that?" Komea expressed surprise first.

"Archery is actually quite tiring. Drawing the bow requires considerable strength," she said, having tried it herself before.

"But the training ground has bows with very low draw weights. Tia could try those. Well, some noble ladies occasionally use them for decoration or casual play."

The three of them went to the archery range on one side of the training ground and quickly found the training short bows stored there.

Under Karen's careful guidance, Sylutia roughly understood the posture for drawing the bow and the precautions.

"Beginners shouldn't use bows with too high draw weight," Karen reminded her.

"First, they're difficult to draw. Second, if you dry fire, the string's rebound can injure you and also damage the bow."

"I understand."

Sylutia gripped the short bow, nocked an arrow, and slowly drew the string. Then, following Karen's instruction, she released. The arrow barely reached the nearest target.

('Basic Archery' proficiency +12)

Basic Archery Lv.0: A skill still being learned. Current progress (12/100)

Having gained some basic understanding, Sylutia looked at the arrow shaft sticking out at an angle in the distance. When she shot her second arrow, her accuracy noticeably improved.

By her fifth shot, the arrowhead finally landed in the target's bullseye, though not perfectly centered.

Whew, this seems quite interesting—completely different from using melee weapons, the young woman thought as she set down the bow.

Since arrows aren't constantly held in hand like sword hilts, the moment they're released, control is lost. Therefore, she couldn't manipulate them with the same precision and flexibility as with a sword. More often, it required advance preparation—calculating strength, trajectory, wind direction, and the target's situation.

Logically speaking, if someone has excellent archery skills, their mental calculation abilities shouldn't be poor either. Even if it's intuition, it's still the subconscious reaction after the brain's calculations.

Thinking about it this way, Karen might not actually be unintelligent—she might have just lacked educational guidance all along.

...

Over the next several days, the three of them continued learning and training together like this, until Baren and Mick recovered from their injuries and returned to class.

When Mick first heard from Teacher Hyde that Sylutia would tutor him, he felt a surge of happiness, but quickly suppressed it.

It's just tutoring—don't read too much into it, he told himself, trying to remain calm.

However, that afternoon, when he actually sat in the rest area listening to the young woman's clear, gentle voice, he inevitably became somewhat distracted. Details he hadn't noticed before became apparent to him.

Tia not only had a pleasant voice, but her figure, posture, and skin were exceptionally beautiful as well. It was just a shame those thick glasses marred her appearance.

"Pay attention to the lesson," the young woman said, lightly tapping the blackboard with a wooden stick, interrupting Mick's thoughts.

"Yes," he replied, having to sit up straight, which made Komea cover her mouth and chuckle beside him.

A few days after tutoring Mick, Ray joined them as well. The three of them—Ray, Mick, and Karen—had consistently been at the bottom of the class in Secret History.

Teaching one person was teaching, and teaching three was still teaching. Tia didn't mind this, and through instructing the three of them, she gradually came to understand how many concepts appeared in the eyes of ordinary people.

For her, having received nearly 16 years of complete Earth education in her previous life, she understood the internal connections between various knowledge areas and had a cognitive framework for the entire world, making it easy to comprehend many things. However, for ordinary commoner students who were completely ignorant and unfamiliar with many concepts, learning was entirely different.

For example, with an engine, she knew it required metal alloys of sufficient strength for casting, relied on certain combustion chemical reactions for energy inside, then transmitted power to various parts through mechanical physics, with different gears and linkages meshing together to create differential adjustments, and so on.

A single engine actually involved the combined application of multiple knowledge areas including materials, metallurgy, chemistry, physics, mathematics, and mechanics.

Yet someone who only understood one of these areas and had never encountered the others could easily develop biased understanding due to the lack of a comprehensive framework.

While teaching these classmates, Sylutia also effectively organized the knowledge framework from her previous life's memories.

Speaking of which, even though it was knowledge from so long ago, she could recall it perfectly clearly now—she even remembered her elementary school classmates' names. It was truly somewhat unbelievable.

...

Life began to settle into a calm and stable routine. In the mornings, Sylutia attended classes with her fellow students. In the afternoons, she tutored the three struggling students, then practiced archery in her free time. Evenings and early mornings were spent tending to the flowers and plants in her backyard. At night, she chatted with Talier, listening to her stories about the day's interesting events in Scorchstone City, before going to sleep at night.

Unconsciously, a month passed like this.

The 'Swan Orchid' she had carefully cultivated finally reached its flowering time.

Carefully crouching down, Sylutia held the small, tender green bud in her hands, feeling joyful inside.

No matter what, this was the first plant she had carefully cultivated herself, having spent considerable time and effort on it, filled with anticipation and happiness.

[Swan Orchid] (Rare-82): Blooming. Humidity not at optimal state, requires additional 23.53% humidification. Ambient temperature slightly low, requires increase of 7.4 degrees. Optimal air permeability. Sufficient nutrition. Trace nutrients satisfied...

From the light green and tender green bud, several thin sprouts emerged. In this place brimming with vitality, faint 'Verdant Nectar' Aspect power gathered. It was only one step away from a complete 'First Tier-Verdant Nectar' Aspect.

Closing her eyes, even without looking, she could sense the faint grassy fragrance and intangible ripples emanating from the bud before her.

Just a little more. If she could complete this final missing piece of the puzzle, she would probably be able to produce a flower with complete 'First Tier-Verdant Nectar' Aspect power.

Temperature, humidity—she stood up and looked around the small courtyard.

If she built a greenhouse glass shed, time would be insufficient, and she also lacked adequate funds.

Therefore, for now, she could only use alternative methods.

After making inquiries, Sylutia found a glass workshop in Scorchstone City. She spent 6 silver coins to have the workers specially make three large glass covers for her, then carefully transported them back to her residence.

Selecting the three 'Swan Orchids' in her backyard with the best appearance and condition, she carefully covered them with the glass covers, digging several narrow channels underneath for ventilation and watering. Although this didn't achieve perfect conditions, it significantly improved the environmental state compared to before.

Facing the three 'Swan Orchids' about to bloom, she added a bit more 'Verdant Dew Water' to ensure the 'Verdant Nectar' Aspect would condense properly.

After finishing, Sylutia stood beside the glass covers, gently stroking them while thinking to herself.

Even if they don't produce flowers with complete 'Verdant Nectar' Aspect, I won't feel sad or regretful—this is already the best result I can achieve currently.

Still, I hope you can bloom perfectly, because I'm looking forward to that happening.

Standing before the 'Swan Orchids,' the young woman silently prayed.

The autumn wind carried some fallen leaves into the small courtyard, lifting her fine, soft hair. As the young woman closed her eyes in prayer, the tender green buds inside the glass covers slightly unfurled, and the closed buds began to reveal their first cracks.
