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

"You've solved it!?"

“…”

Vickery tried to use cleaning magic to remove the blood on his face, but the demon blood containing magic disrupted his magic. Seeing that the cleaning magic had no effect, he could only wipe it with his sleeves.

I probably can’t have this dress anymore...

"You are worthy of being a member of the Pod family, and the bloodline of demon hunters is indeed well-deserved. But what kind of magic did you use? Why is it not like your previous style? It looks like the wound was penetrated by metal... Could it be that you used my invention 's strong wind

Cone'! "

"No...in addition, Dean, your taste in naming is really bad."

"Huh? What did you say! Everyone said it was very good!"

The dean raised his head unconsciously and his voice became sharper.

"Who would say that you are not the dean?"

After saying that, Vickery turned around and prepared to leave.

"Really? You really don't think so?" the dean murmured.

"real."

"Ugh."

The dean glumly picked up the demon's body, gathered magic power in his arms, and threw it like a shot put.

Whoosh!

The corpse was carried by the strong wind and almost passed by Vickrey. It hit the ground like a meteor, and the broken flesh and blood flew everywhere with the violent airflow.

"It's obviously very appropriate." The dean said listlessly.

In the dripping blood mist, Weekly walked out without a drop of blood. He had already suffered a loss and had already used the hands of a mage to build a protective film around him.

But when going down the mountain, Vickery always felt that he had forgotten something...

Demons appeared in Blackstone Mountain, and the actual combat training was terminated. Professor Leilin led the students to evacuate immediately after discovering the abnormality, and he also called the dean.

By the time Vickrey walked out of the teleportation array, there were already people standing outside.

At this time, he remembered that he had forgotten about Sophie. He had been a little out of control just now and seemed to be quite rough with her...

Immediately, Vickery grabbed a wizard next to him and asked.

"Have all the students inside come out..."

However, a strange voice interrupted him.

"Professor Vickrey, long time no see."

Vickery looked around and found a blond man dressed as a priest in long white clothes standing next to him.

The most devout believer in the church, the priestly character in the game...

"Adrian?"

"It's great that you still remember me. As for your previous question, I can answer it. The children have been rescued, so don't worry."

"Rather than this, I would like to ask the professor what happened in Blackstone Mountain alone."

According to the setting, Father Adrian is a kind-hearted person, but he is very embarrassed to stand in Vickrey's position. In the game, the priest is often against him...

"You can discuss the details with Dean Bach inside. I'm sorry I can't tell you."

"Is that so...I understand."

Father Adrian smiled and nodded, then walked into the teleportation array.

Vickery looked at the wizards around him.

"Judy, Peko."

"....Yes." Judy replied nervously.

"Where's Sophie?"

"Huh? Oh, Sophie was found unconscious and was sent to the infirmary not long ago..."

"That's fine."

Vickery turned around and walked away without even hearing what Judy said.

He still needs to submit a report to the royal family before noon today, while also discussing cooperation matters with the church and preparing for tomorrow's lecture. He doesn't have time to waste on this...

and many more.

After not sleeping all night, Vickery dragged his exhausted body halfway and suddenly stopped.

Why does it feel like he is more tired than before the time travel...

Is it an illusion?

-------

Sunlight streamed in from the window, and some sharp birdsong woke Sophie up. She opened her eyes, and a white ceiling appeared in her field of vision.

“…”

Sophie blinked blankly, where is this?

"You finally woke up."

A voice as gentle as sunshine rang in her ears. Sophie sat up in surprise and looked around. It turned out to be the infirmary of the college, and the person who just spoke to her was the priest.

Sophie did not speak, but cautiously covered her body with a blanket. A young girl like her should be most careful about a man who smiles at everyone.

"I am Adrian, a priest of the Holy See of Light. Sophie, I am very happy to meet you. I didn't expect you to grow up so much."

"You know me?" Sophie frowned in confusion.

Adrian smiled nostalgically.

"I know your father and see you in pictures often."

"so what?"

Sophie immediately went into a defensive stance as soon as she heard the topic of her father.

"Don't be nervous. The main reason I came here today is to ask you about Blackstone Mountain. You are the only one who can handle things there..."

Halfway through, Adrian noticed Sophie's confused look and smiled helplessly.

"It seems you haven't figured out what was posted yet."

"Well... I just remember that I seemed to be under an illusion..."

"Well, that's the devil's charm. It was Professor Weekly who saved you. Due to the appearance of the devil, Blackstone Mountain is temporarily closed. Currently, our Vatican people are investigating within the college..."

"what..."

Sophie covered her head with trembling hands as she remembered.

Sure enough, it was not a dream.

The dark night, the woman's wailing, Vickrey's astonishing murderous intention and the look in his eyes that regarded everything as an ant...

Everything seems to be vivid.

There is no doubt that Vickery saved her.

Is my strength really that weak?

Sophie fell into deep self-doubt...

"Maybe I'm too talkative, but as an old friend of your father, maybe I can..."

"Wait a minute, you are my father's friend?"

"Yes, we were

He's a classmate, and I know what happened to him... If you need any help, Sophie..."

Sophie shook her head and refused without hesitation.

"No, I don't need to."

She must understand the matter between her and Vickery herself.

Perhaps this is because her ridiculous pride does not allow herself to accept help from others.

But at least as far as her father's death was concerned, she was the only one qualified to judge Vickrey, and there was no room for outsiders to intervene.

She must understand the matter between her and Vickery herself.

Faced with Sophie's decisive answer, Adrian was a little surprised, but then he laughed.

"That's it, then do you want to continue to rest?"

"what?"

"Today is 36:[-] pm on Wednesday. Counting from early morning on Tuesday, you have slept for exactly [-] hours."

Sophie was stunned. She actually slept for a full day and a half!

That Vickrey was too cruel...

"I always feel like I've forgotten something."

Adrian spoke for her.

"There will be Professor Vickery's lecture at three o'clock this afternoon. Of course, no one will say anything if you continue to rest..."

"what!!!"

Sophie jumped up. If she didn't go, that inhumane Vickrey would definitely count her as absent from class!

"Sophie, studying is important, but your mental strength is still very weak, so don't force yourself too much..." Adrian said slightly worriedly.

"It's okay, it's okay. Father Adrian, you should pay more attention to your health. Goodbye!"

Sophie ran straight out of the infirmary.

Even the priest's cry from behind, "You didn't take the medicine," was ignored.

It takes about 10 minutes to get from the infirmary to the mage tower of the academy.

"Huhuhu~"

Sophie ran as fast as she could and finally arrived at 2:58.

Panting, she opened the door to the Class A classroom, but as soon as she entered, she was startled.

"Ok?"

The furnishings inside were completely different from the previous class.

In the spacious classroom, a long experimental table is placed in front of each student. Various common elements such as earth, sand, gravel, metal, water, etc. are placed on the table.

"Sophie! Here!"

Judy threw up her hands and Sophie nodded and sat next to her.

"Are you okay? You were still awake when I went to visit the doctor. Is your health okay?"

"Ah, it's okay. It'll be fine when you wake up."

Although my head is still a little dizzy, it should be fine.

"That's good. We were so scared when we saw you falling from the sky. We thought you were dead..."

At this time, Vickery opened the door and walked in, followed by a little dwarf.

"Let me introduce you, this is the new associate professor Kitty..."

"?!!"

Chapter 32 Exam Begins

Everyone was shocked by Vickery's sudden remarks, especially Sophie.

Her father worked for Vickrey like a slave for ten years. Even at the age of 30, he was still just a small wizard's assistant...

Thinking of what happened to her father, and looking at this girl who became an associate professor at a young age, no more than 25 years old, Sophie could not help but feel a little uncomfortable.

What happened to Vickrey who never promoted an assistant in his life?
