Seeing this, Celestia just shrugged and did not force Sunset Shimmer to obey her.
Anyway, the two ponies would soon become classmates, and they would get to know each other eventually.
"Princess Celestia!"
The Grand Princess really is everywhere.
Muttering a complaint in her heart, Aurora hurriedly followed the three teachers to salute the Princess.
"Miss Aurora, I am very happy to see you here."
Celestia, who had entered the classroom, helped Aurora up, her eyes full of gratification as she looked at her.
"I am also very happy to see you, honorable Princess Celestia."
"I still remember the scene when we first met. Perhaps you don't remember me; after all, you were just a little baby back then."
Listening to Celestia speak, a trace of panic flashed in Aurora's eyes.
Listening to The Grand Princess's tone, the next sentence wouldn't be "I held you when you were little!", and then start telling stories about her childhood, would it?
Stop! You are The Grand Princess, not a Great Immortal Bird!
Fortunately, The Grand Princess didn't come this time to chat about family matters. The Grand Princess saw the embarrassment that Aurora was hiding and knew that she had accidentally done something a boring elder would do. She couldn't help but feel a little awkward, coughed lightly, and continued.
"I mean, I have always been looking forward to seeing such a special Foal like you again. I saw your exam just now; it was very brilliant. Without a doubt, you passed the exam with excellent grades."
Celestia looked at the three proctors, and they nodded in agreement.
In fact, from their comments on the Money Tree just now, Aurora's passing grade was already a certainty.
Originally, the Money Tree that Aurora had produced was highly rated, and now that it had been affirmed by The Grand Princess, let alone the entrance exam, it was a sure bet that as long as Aurora didn't break the law, she could easily graduate just by coasting.
"However, I came here this time not only to congratulate you on joining the academy but also to ask you another thing."
"Please go ahead, Princess."
"I wonder if you would be willing to become my personal student?"
Ah, this...
It doesn't feel as surprising as I imagined.
Aurora looked at Celestia's expectant eyes and couldn't help but swallow.
By the way, could she choose to refuse?
I don't know if it's a psychological effect, but she saw a glimmer of extreme desire for retirement in The Grand Princess's gentle eyes.
The three teachers next to her were frantically hinting at her to agree quickly; after all, Princess Celestia was personally taking a disciple, so one didn't need to use their brain to know how to choose.
"What?!"
At this moment, a sharp explosion sounded at the classroom door.
An amber-colored Little Unicorn ran into the classroom aggressively, questioning Celestia in disbelief.
"When was this decision made? Why have you never told me?! Is it because I haven't learned some magic well, making you feel disappointed?"
"Oh! Did I not say it? Sorry, maybe I forgot."
Celestia lowered her head and nuzzled Sunset Shimmer, comforting the uneasy Sunset Shimmer.
"You have learned your magic very well, Sunset Shimmer; I am very satisfied. At the same time, I also recognize Aurora's talent. If you two study together, you can make progress together."
Aurora looked at Sunset Shimmer, who had suddenly burst in, in a daze.
Yay! Good! It's the Senior Disciple!
The Senior Disciple hasn't run away yet!
This is great; she can learn magic, admire The Grand Princess's beauty, and cuddle with the Senior Disciple.
Then, there is only one answer!
"I will pledge my loyalty to you!"
As she said this, Aurora snapped the Money Tree in the flowerpot.
Well, she didn't snap it; after all, it was a gift to be given away, and Aurora had no right to destroy it, so she could only snap the imaginary cane in her mind.
"Haha, you speak very interestingly, Aurora. Although you are my subject, you are even more my student. Rather than pledging loyalty, I think the word'studying' is more appropriate now."
"Let's get to know each other. This is Sunset Shimmer, also my student. She is not much older than you; you must have many topics in common."
"Hello, Sunset Shimmer! I am Aurora."
Aurora extended a friendly hoof to Sunset Shimmer.
However, Sunset Shimmer did not have a good impression of the junior sister who had suddenly appeared. She just glanced coldly at the extended hoof and slapped it back very rudely in response.
"Sorry, I have to prepare things for tomorrow's class. I should go. A piece of advice: you'd better hurry up and prepare too, don't be dawdling like you were in the exam today."
Leaving behind provocative words, Sunset Shimmer didn't even look at Aurora's reaction and turned and left.
"Uh... Sunset Shimmer, she is not good at socializing; she is just too shy. She is not prepared for your arrival."
"I can understand, Your Highness."
The current Senior Disciple is still in her pre-corruption form, with a very bad temper, and doesn't like to communicate with other ponies.
However, no matter how hard her mouth is now, she will be just as soft after being reformed. Aurora really loves the reliable action capability that makes one feel full of security in the later Senior Disciple.
Since Aurora has now become Princess Celestia's student, it makes sense that she cannot let Sunset Shimmer go down the path of running away.
After all, if the Senior Disciple runs away, then before Twilight Sparkle enrolls, wouldn't Aurora have to replace the Senior Disciple and become the king of stress resistance?
This is a risky move, but as the saying goes, wealth is sought in danger. She has obtained the status of a Princess's disciple, which is the most enjoyable way to learn magic. Relatively, she also bears the risk of becoming the Princess's successor.
However, as long as she stabilizes the Senior Disciple so she doesn't run away, and then waits for Twilight Sparkle to enroll, gathering the two pillars of Equestria, then she will really be enjoying herself.
Sunset Shimmer and Twilight Sparkle just need to honestly follow the arrangements and be 007 heirs to the throne, but Aurora, who only thinks about herself, has a lot to consider.
In a sense, Aurora might be even more selfish and evil than the corrupted Sunset Shimmer.
Sunset Shimmer, who left the classroom, looked back at Aurora and Celestia. Seeing them talking happily, she seemed to see the scene where she celebrated with the Princess when she got her cutie mark.
A feeling of loss welled up in her heart. Sunset Shimmer shook her head violently to dispel that terrible thought, and then a flash of gloom appeared in the depths of her eyes.
"I will prove that I am the most excellent one!"
