It’s getting harder and harder to be a villain these days

Happiness came suddenly, and Sophie was very glad that she stayed until the end.

----

After that, a group of them marched from the coffee shop to the restaurant outside the college. During this period, Judy kept looking at the club application and muttering.

"Is there really nothing you can do? These nobles are too...eh? Hmm!!!"

But suddenly, her eyes widened and she looked into the distance, and her whole body froze.

Not only Judy, but also Sophie, who was just thinking about 'what to have for late night snack', everyone was frozen in place like a log, not daring to take a breath.

On the street in the distance, the professor who exuded an aristocratic aura at all times was walking towards them.

"Leave it to you Sophie, come on!"

Judy had an idea and suddenly handed the application form to Sophie.

"Huh? What? Is there a menu before we arrive?"

Sophie, who was still confused, was suddenly pushed in front of someone.

"what!"

Due to her height, Sophie was originally not tall and could only see the other person's chest at first.

But for some reason, she had an ominous premonition after seeing the slightly familiar suit and the pure gold noble badge.

Sophie slowly raised her head.

"..."

At this moment, Vickery was looking down at her with cold eyes.

Vickrey?Why is he here! ! !

"Uh, Professor Weekly, what a coincidence..."

Sophie's heartbeat was racing. She turned back to ask Judy for help, but found that they had disappeared long ago.

"Step aside."

Sophie originally wanted to leave after saying hello, but when she heard Vickery's commanding tone, she became angry.

The road is so wide, why should she give way?

Sophie took a deep breath, controlled her trembling heart, and made up her mind at the same time.

This arrogance will one day be rewarded a hundredfold!

Sophie bit her lip and suddenly picked up the club application form in her hand.

"that!"

But originally she only wanted to use one hand, but her body was respectfully offered with both hands.

"We want to start a society, but we need permission from a professor..."

"..."

Although the lack of response from the other party made her slightly uneasy, she continued firmly.

"We would never bother you normally, so just sign..."

Sophie was exhausted when she said this, and her outstretched arms were trembling slightly.

Vickery didn't say anything, he just reached out and took the application away and read it.

Sophie was immediately on tenterhooks, fearing that the other party would tear the application into pieces and throw it in her face in the next second.

However, Vickery didn't do that. Instead, he naturally took out a pen from his arms and signed it, and then returned the application to her.

"The details still need to be perfected. Once everything is written, send it to my office."

After that, he walked around Sophie.

"what?"

Sophie stood there blankly, looking at the complete club application in her hand in disbelief.

It really has Vickery's signature on it.

Passed so easily?

No, we can't take it lightly yet. Maybe there is a delay magic on it and it will activate as soon as he leaves!

Sophie stared at the retreating figure, but until Vickrey turned into a black dot and disappeared into the night, the paper in her hand was still intact...

Chapter 16 The stunned wizards

"Wow wow wow, success?!"

Judy and the others who had just been hiding reappeared.

"Sophie, you are so amazing. You actually managed to get an autograph from that Professor Wakely."

"Look! I told you to find him, Peko, but you still don't believe me."

Everyone was having fun, but Sophie was really in a complicated mood at the moment.

Once again, though unintentionally, she was given a handout by her enemies.

What exactly does Vickery want to do?Why are you always so tolerant of her?

Is it mercy?

Ridiculous, if it weren't for him, would I be in this situation?

She doesn't need this kind of cheap sympathy. If you are really sorry, confess your mistakes to the world and apologize to her father! !

Thinking of this, Sophie suddenly became furious and tears began to well up in her eyes.

"Sophie, you are the hero today. We will accompany you wherever you want to go tonight!" Judy did not realize it at all.

the seriousness of the matter.

Sophie clenched her fists and turned to glare at her.

"I'm not going! And was it you who pushed me just now?"

"Huh? No, we can only found the club because of you, Sophie. Come with us."

"I said I couldn't go! You..."

"This way, I'll bleed some more! Let's go to my restaurant to eat. Recently, my dad just came in with a fine Hawke wild boar."

"..." Sophie swallowed

She hasn't eaten pork for a long time.

Not to mention the fact that the meat contains magical power and is quite rare on the market.

It is said that one bite can increase the magic power. I don't know if it is true...

"Let's go Sophie, I was wrong just now, don't be like this, come with us." Judy clasped her hands together, lowered her head and said sincerely.

"...Hmph, it's just this time. I'll do this next time."

Sophie pouted, pretending she was still angry.

"Well, I promise there will never be a next time. Let's go~"

"Don't get me wrong, I'm not greedy for your pork, I only see your sincerity..."

"I know, I know, let's go~" Judy held Sophie's hand and walked forward.

In this way, Sophie followed Judy to the high-end restaurant 'Pig Deer Garden' run by her family and had a delicious meal. The taste of Hawker wild boar tonight was unforgettable for her.

-----

A week later, a series of piercing sounds were heard in the training room of Vickery Mansion.

"drink!"

Vickrey held the long sword tightly in his right hand and mechanically repeated the basic movements of swordsmanship.

Today is different from the past. Now he is completely able to control this heavy steel sword.

The sunlight outside the window reflected on his body, and the muscles all over his body were exercised just right, neither bloated nor dull. Although it was not obvious, his abdominal muscles already had a faint outline.

"Is it six o'clock in the morning?"

The soft sunshine made Vickery squint his eyes, and he was already sweating from the two-hour training.

After combing his wet hair, he snapped his fingers.

"clean."

As soon as the words fell, the sweat and dust from Vickrey's body were swept away. As a primary magic, he could now activate it with just his hands.

For seven days, Weekly has been exercising here at [-] a.m. every day, and he has achieved good results. As long as he persists for another month or two, he will probably be able to start the next step of upgrading his magic.

"Next it's time to inspect the goods."

Weekly took out the daggers he had commissioned a few days ago, and considering the factors of wear and tear, he customized 20 of them.

The dagger is entirely made of fine steel, and mixed with some mithril to enhance the conductivity of magic power, making it more efficient to operate with the hands of a mage.

"Chong!"

20 daggers were drawn out of their scabbards in unison, and a long and soft groan echoed in the spacious training room.

The mirror-like sword body revealed a deep cold air, and with the influx of magic power, a little blue light condensed on the blade, flowing continuously, adding to the sharp coolness.

"feel good."

The daggers were crossed and hung in the air like a pile of matches.

However, perhaps because of the large number of problems, Weekly's operation was obviously a bit obscure.

Sure enough, the basic mage's hand is no longer enough, he needs to upgrade as soon as possible...

But let’s stop here for today’s exercise. After all, he has class in the morning.

-------

10 a.m., Class A classroom in the Mage Tower.

Different from the previous class, there was an atmosphere of tension in the spacious classroom.

The reason is Sophie and Olivia. This is the first time the two of them have met after their fight.

The students were naturally divided into two groups. The commoners sat next to Sophie to support her, while the nobles sat around Olivia and looked down on these country bumpkins with their eyes.

"stare--"

Although Sophie had repeatedly told herself not to pay attention to Olivia, her eyes kept peeking there involuntarily.

Contrary to Sophie, Olivia didn't even look at her.

"Squeak~"

The door to the classroom opened, and Chief Professor Vickrey walked in, dressed as perfectly as usual.

After Vickery stepped onto the podium, he first placed the information on the well platform, and then adjusted his collar out of habit.

"Today we will conduct further research on the subject of understanding elements."

The wizards present immediately opened the books they carried with them. Since today was an ordinary indoor class, almost everyone brought a book on elements written by Vickery.

Except for Sophie who has no money to buy study materials. She only has a notepad in her hand...

"As we all know, 'elements' are the basic attributes of all magic, but it seems that many people have learned in the wrong direction."

"Compared with half-knowledge of the elemental magic in books, understanding how elements are generated is the most helpful thing for you right now."

"So today I'm going to teach you the ropes."

The wizards were hurriedly flipping through Weekley's books, but there was absolutely nothing about today's lecture in them.

Vickrey waved his hand, and a line of magic words appeared in the air.

"Seering flames."

"what?"

"Ok?"

The wizards were very surprised. The scorching flames belong to elemental magic.
