Looking at her long black pitch black nails, which were not dirtied by blood, Beatrice couldn't help but smile and begin cleaning them while she showered.
As the warm water from the shower washed over her, the tiredness that Beatrice had suppressed up until now finally flared up, causing her to become exhausted.
After finishing her shower, Beatrice put on her night dress before jumping into her bed and finally resting for the day.
...
As she opened her eyes and looked at the empty ceiling above her, Beatrice let out a small yawn before getting up from the bed.
At the same time, she picked up two small rocks that had appeared on the bed overnight before throwing them in a corner.
"He should still be sleeping right now," mumbled Beatrice as she began to rapidly put on her clothes, wash her face and teeth and prepare herself for the day, and in only three minutes, Beatrice had gone from being in bed to having completely woken up.
After that Beatrice walked into the experiment room and began looking at her work, Christian, who was sleeping peacefully on the metal bed.
"The vitality of a Grand Knight really isn't to be underestimated," mumbled Beatrice as she checked Christian's chest, to see if the latter had healed from yesterday's surgery.
And unlike normal people, who would have a hard time recovering from this, Christian already seemed fine, as a scar had already begun forming on his chest.
Suddenly, Beatrice couldn't help but notice the bad smell coming from a bag in the corner of the room, causing her to frown.
"I should be able to wake him up by now," mumbled Beatrice before placing her hand on Cristian's face.
Beatrice was right, and under her influence, Christian opened his eyes merely a few moments later, causing Beatrice to smile.
"Take our the trash before cleaning this room," said Beatrice as she walked out of the experimental room to look for something.
The moment Beatrice said that, Christian picked up a large bag, containing a dissected dead body, in fact, this was Beatrice's previous attempt at controlling someone, but as she failed, and killed the subject, so as to not waste precious resources, Beatrice dissected the Grand Knight, as she did not have this opportunity a lot with how poor she was.
As Christian was taking out the trash, Beatrice was taking out some liquid from a large metal vat she had stuffed in her closet.
Inside of this vat was extremely pure alcohol, which Beatrice had bought to sterilize her tools some time ago.
Although this alcohol was unfit for human consumption and was bought extremely cheaply, with a fifty-liter vat costing only 3 elemental stones, this type of alcohol was just what Beatrice needed to sterilize her tools.
Even though it might seem as though Beatrice blew through her monthly elemental stones quite recklessly, in the past two months, she had already bought most if not all minor things she needed for her experiments.
After that, Beatrice took out around two liters of alcohol out of the vat before walking into the experimental room and placing it on a table before exiting the room once again.
A while later, Beatrice came back with a bucket of water before also placing it on the table.
Making some measurements, Beatrice then took out approximately seven hundred milliliters of water before pouring it into the alcohol and waiting for it to mix.
"Concentration is a little bit higher than needed but it's good," mumbled Beatrice as she stretched her finger into the alcohol concoction before tasting it.
Although the alcohol she had bought was suitable for sterilizing, Beatrice would dilute it to use it for longer, of course, she still only diluted it within limit's.
Now that the alcohol was prepared, Beatrice then took out the tools she had used on yesterday's surgery before washing them in water and then placing them in the alcohol.
Everything, from scissors, knife's needles, and even tools she did not use yesterday, all of them were placed in the alcohol and left to rest in there as Beatrice walked out of the room.
Taking a look at the clock, Beatrice began taking another shower before walking out of her room and going to class.
...
An hour later,
As she walked back into her room with a medium-sized bag in her hand Beatrice couldn't help but smile.
"This is so much more convenient," mumbled Beatrice as she looked at the clean room before her, not having to clean gave Beatrice much more time to do her experiments and to practice.
Walking into the experimental room, Beatrice placed a bag full of food on the table before looking at Christian, who had clearly also cleaned himself with a satisfied smile on her face.
"You can eat, but if you find anything dirty, clean it up," said Beatrice before walking back to her bed and sitting crosslegged on it, and beginning to refine mana.
Time passed, and Beatrice continued to refine her mana, when suddenly, she felt a small amount of pain on her thigh, as if something had hit it.
"What?" mumbled Beatrice as she opened her eyes and noticed a small rock next to her leg, but this was not why Beatrice was surprised, rather right now Beatrice still had her Dark Barrier activated around herself.
Suddenly, Beatrice turned backward and noticed a small rock slowly moving towards herself, having somehow passed through her barrier.
Stretching her hand out and catching the rock, Beatrice suddenly noticed some small words written on it.
'You should always be on your guard, it's a good skill to have - Your dear teacher'
Looking at the words written on the rock, Beatrice couldn't help but take a deep breath.
A moment later, a small tendril of dark mana suddenly stretched out of Beatrice's body, catching a rock that had just sneaked behind her just now.
Knowing that this was the work of her teacher and not an attacker, Beatrice took a deep breath before once again beginning to refine more mana.
