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

Originally, he planned to take the carriage home as usual.

but...

In the cold and windy night, under the magic streetlight in front of the student's door, a rather suspicious person was standing.

"...?"

The man was wearing a white coat, with broad shoulders and a strong body like a tiger, but his unusually handsome face seemed incompatible with the warrior's body.

Vickery was impressed with him.

The current head of the knight family Claire is a middle-aged man with neat short white hair.

He is the eldest brother who is 12 years older than Yura.

Amos Clare.

Weekley was a little nervous. After all, the opponent's combat power ranked among the top three in the early game, and he had snatched his sister's Oliha Steel...

At this stage, there is really nothing I can do against him.

However, after Yamos saw him, he greeted him cheerfully.

"Hey, Vickery, I've been waiting for you for a long time."

Although he was confused, Vickery walked over bravely.

Coming closer, Yamos gave him a friendly smile.

"Hahaha, it's the first time I see you outside of a banquet. I'm really emotional."

"....Um."

Vickery nodded slightly awkwardly.

Your relationship with your 'eldest uncle' is pretty good?

"There's nothing big going on when I come here. It's mainly because there are rumors recently that you and Youla are having a serious quarrel... It happens that the royal family has something to see me today, so I'll wait for you here by the way."

Yamos seems to approve of his sister Yora's engagement.

In other words, I agree so far.

"Is that so?" Vickery said thoughtfully.

"Don't worry, I will take charge of the overall situation, and you will get married this year. I will help you arrange a dinner this weekend, and then you young people will have a good talk."

Seeing that Weekly was in poor condition, Yamos thought he was worried about his marriage and hurriedly offered words of comfort.

He cares more about the interests of his family than his sister's happiness.

But Vickrey didn't dare to accept the kindness of this 'uncle brother' easily. If he really got married, he might die without even knowing how he died. There was a weird family there...

"Yura may not want to see me for the time being..."

Vickery excused himself.

"It doesn't matter, I arranged your engagement, and I will be responsible to the end."

As he said that, Yamos put his hand on Vickrey's shoulder.

Vickery frowned almost instinctively.

However, after Yamos saw his expression, not only did he not let go, but he patted his back even harder and laughed.

"Hahahaha, that's it, that's why I like you...men have to be bloody. Those sissies who only follow Yula's butt and show their attentiveness are far behind you."

"Really?" Vickery raised his eyebrows.

"Don't worry, just come. I will be responsible for bringing Youla there. I have other things to do later, so I will leave first."

After saying that, Yamos hurried away.

Weekley had a headache. The other party didn't even give him a chance to refuse the call. It seemed like he really had to go to the weekend dinner...

------

The next morning.

Near the outskirts of the imperial capital, in a private house that Youla bought with her own savings.

"I'm not going!"

"Do you hate Vickery so much?"

A fierce quarrel broke out in the martial arts training ground in the yard, and the conversation between the brother and sister was full of tension.

"What if not? Do you like him? Besides, I have to train knights. I don't want to go and I don't have time to go!"

"It's just a piece of Oliha steel, why do you hate him so much?"

"Not because of that!"

Youla looked away angrily. She didn't expect that her eldest brother would say that to her.

Yamos was a little baffled by his sister's anger.

"Yura... think about it carefully, why would a wizard like him buy Oliha steel? That thing can only be used as a sword. In the end, I don't want to give it to you..."

"If he really wants to make Oliha Steel and give it to me, then I will immediately announce the termination of the engagement."

Although she had thought about it countless times, this was the first time that Yura said these four words in front of her elder brother.

'dissolution of engagement'

“…”

The air was silent for a moment.

Yamos just looked at Yura quietly without saying a word.

Yora was overwhelmed by the terrifying aura. Although the man was her brother, he was also the patriarch of the family and the strongest knight in the contemporary era.

Even Yula had to lower her head.

"I told you a few days ago that breaking off the engagement is the stupidest behavior. Even if Weekly really behaves badly, the Pod family is still our ally..."

This marriage was promoted by Yamos from the very beginning, and he was quite optimistic about Weekley's future prospects.

"And, as far as I know, there is no man who loves you more than Vickrey. Do you really like those sissies with ulterior motives?"

"...I got you."

"Then what are you still hesitating about? Marriage between families has never required an emotional foundation...or are you saying that you want to break away from the family!?"

"I never had that thought."

As a knight, Yora understands the principle of repaying kindness. It is only because of her family's training that she has achieved today's achievements. Naturally, she cannot do such a thing that is humiliating to her family, and she has never thought about it.

"Then what's the reason? You were supposed to get married in the first place, but I kept delaying it according to your temper. But four years have passed, how long are you going to delay?!"

“…”

She serves the family.

Therefore, she must get married.

"I will arrange a dinner party this weekend. Vickery will also come back. You should prepare in advance."

Yamos, who lost his patience, went back after saying that.

"..."

Yura was stunned, and after a moment she grabbed the sword in the training ground.

The magic power immersed in the sword gave off a slight chill, and the magic power gradually condensed into a crystal shape and surrounded the sword body.

The sword was swung out, and the half-moon-shaped sword energy followed closely, freezing the entire martial arts training ground.

Before the ice broke, brilliant combos followed, and exquisite swordsmanship drew ripples in the air.

"Humph!"

The continuous emission of sword energy caused her tiger's mouth to crack, and blood stained the ice red along the hilt of the sword.

But Yura didn't care, she was venting, venting in this almost self-harming way.

Only at this moment, following her thoughts, cutting off invisible things, and immersed in the world of swords isolated from the world, can she feel that she is free...

As for Yula's subordinate, the knight Noel, who had been observing his master from a distance, couldn't help but bite his silver teeth secretly, with unstoppable murderous intent in his scarlet eyes.

It's Vickery again!

Chapter 35

In the north of the continent, there is a land of overlapping barren mountains that does not belong to any country's influence - the Wolf Mountains.

Between the mountains and the cracked valleys, the bustling and noisy world is isolated.

This is the retreat of more than 1000 'elder-level' A-level wizards throughout the ages, but it is also the venue for the world-famous 'Wizards' Council'.

Although the Wizards' Council is a spontaneous non-governmental organization, its members are almost spread across all wizarding systems across the continent, and most major events in the wizarding world are voted on by them.

The authority is so great that even wizards from the Holy Land 'Floating City' will come to attend meetings or abide by the laws that have been passed.

However, wizards' councils are generally held rarely, and are only convened only once every few decades...

But in a solemn hall deep in the valley, the elders sitting on both sides of the long table for a meeting thought that day was coming.

The reason is the news that came two days ago that a demon actually appeared in Blackstone Mountain...

Demons, you know, magic was created from the beginning to fight demons.

Therefore, in the face of such an urgent situation, even the Wizards' Council, which has never participated in the world, decided to make an exception and recruit people from outside.

"Is the list ready?"

"Some of the newly rising wizards have not yet been determined, but the most important personnel have been determined. Based on the accumulation in the past ten years, we have selected 12 including Pod, Pearl, Beola, and Wynn. The traditional wizard family, and eight newly promoted A-level wizards from floating islands."

Since attending the Wizarding Council is a great honor for both the wizard and his family, it is almost certain that no one will refuse this call.

"The Pod family and the Pearl family..."

As the chief decision-maker of the Wizards Council, Zelidan looked at the names on the list with some concern.

A long time ago, these two families were bitter rivals. Although after signing some kind of agreement, both parties have behaved fairly honestly in recent years.

But anyone with a discerning eye knows that this is just a superficial agreement...

Zelidan sighed quietly.

The head of Pearl's family, Taen'er, nicknamed the Demon Flame Wizard, was once known for his vengeance.

Until now, Zelidan still remembers that young man with a fire always burning in his eyes and an amazing ambition...

But fortunately, the fire that seemed to devour the world finally found someone to care about and had a daughter who was even more dazzling than him.

If Tyne is fire, then Olivia is light.

Now Tain'er is completely focused on the child and rarely even appears in public.

I hope that after these years of silence, the two families can put aside their differences and come together.

"That's it. Let the people on the floating island make their own choices. Time is limited, so hurry up and send out all the summons letters."

Zelidan's words made the other elders lower their heads.

"Yes."

I believe that soon, the summons from the Wizards Council will be sent to the gates of wizard towers around the world.

By then, high-level wizards from all over the continent will head to the Wolff Mountains.

Because there is this sentence in the letter sent by the Wizards Council:

[Magic originates from demons and ends with demons. This council will be related to the survival of magic. I hope you will keep this in mind. 】

As for the reason, it will be known soon.

……

Items for the Bangor auction started arriving on the weekend afternoon.

In addition, Weekley also summoned Professor Leylin and his assistant wizards to set up a very powerful defensive circle for the mansion.

Even if you are an A-level wizard, you have to pay a heavy price if you want to force your way in.

In addition, he also bought a high-end magic safe, which was mainly used to cover up people's eyes. Even if the other party really broke in, they could only take away an empty box.
