Mages had their own rooms within the palace and are treated with respect. The more powerful a mage was, the more well-treated they were. This made mages arrogant and didn’t warmly welcome Yulia who was said to be below their strength. However, Yulia cared for none of those things. 404 can no longer sense the foreign male lead in the palace. Where has he disappeared to?
‘Do you sense the heroine though?’
System 404: [Yes, though she hasn’t awakened the mark.]
‘Ah, no wonder she’s not here yet.’
Yulia had been forced to train several days since arriving here. In her case, it was considered light work, and it often caused her mind to go wandering. No one cared enough to check in on her, so as soon as she was finished with her set training, she would go wandering about. With no one to bother her, she had explored enough to have a good grasp of the mage's headquarters.
System 404: [I sense the foreign male lead. He's in the Light temple!]
'Already? Heh, I wish I could see the interaction between them. It's a pity that the palace is not connected to the Light temple.'
Even though the Light temple was next to the palace, it still took a day to get there. She couldn't go disappearing and returning like nothing. Although no one cared to check in on her training, they still marked everyone who was present. After all, they were getting paid for this.
System 404: [The heroine has awakened the mark! And the foreign male lead's presence disappeared again!]
'Good, bring her over, and then I might finally be able to see that foreign male lead. In the meantime...'
She opened the door leading to the prayer room. It was empty as she walked toward the statue. Then she knelt in front of it and clasped her hands together. She closed her eyes, making her appear to be deeply praying.
System 404: [What are you doing?]
'Acting like a good girl.'
System 404: [...So, who is it for?]
'Heh, you catch on quick. There's a duo pair of senior mages who watches over the new mages. They like devoted and disciplined mages who aren't arrogant. And I've noticed that around this time, they...'
The door opened with a small creak. Yulia displayed a surprised expression on her face as her head turned back to the door.
"Ah..." The woman with a bob haircut pushed up her glasses, surprised that someone was there.
"Hello there. You're here to pray as well?" The man beside her smiled at Yulia.

Yulia probed at their identities, confirming that these two were the ones she was looking for. Quickly nodding, she said, "Don't worry. I'll get out of your way once I'm done."
Then she turned her head back and continued to pray for a few more minutes before finally getting up from her position. She then respectfully greeted them and walked away without another word. The two looked at each other and closed the door, unbeknownst that Yulia had stayed behind to eavesdrop.
"Is that the below-average mage?" The man asked. "How come she's here to pray?"
"Rue, that's rude. Try to remember their names at least," the woman responded. "If I remember her name correctly, it's..."
The woman paused, thinking of the name, yet she couldn't recall. The man, Rue, laughed and then retorted: "Makia, don't tell me that even you can't remember her name? That's rare."
"No, it's just... the label 'below-average-mage' has been floating around. I'm sure I saw her name somewhere when she was transferred here..."
"I heard that she arrived with the hero, but they don't have any connections other than traveling together because they had the same destination. I'm sure the high priest said something like that, but she's below average."
'Oh, they're also connected to the high priest? No wonder they always came here to pray.'
Makia sighed and said, "I have always seen her practicing and training with dummies. She must not be getting anywhere and have come to pray today."
System 404: [That was on purpose, wasn't it?]
'If not, who would idle their time with easy practices? It's like tracing letters, but when a teacher come around, you have to act like you're trying your hardest to trace the letters, so they don't give you a harder assignment on the spot. Then once you achieve tracing it to perfection, they'll think that you've worked so hard and feel proud.'
System 404: [Host, you do realize that we're here to eliminate the heroine system and bring the foreign male lead to his original world, right?]
'Of course, I do, but having connections to get you to a higher place doesn't hurt. It'll also be faster.'
--
For the next week or so, Yulia continued to train and practice. Every day, she would earnestly go pray before continuing to train more. It wasn't long until she got rid of her below-average-mage label. It was also then that Rue approached her of his own accord.
"Hi, Hazel."
