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

So instead of letting Grae die in prison, it would be better for him to escape and convey his goodwill to the Redbloods and prepare for future plans...

"I hope everything goes well for the Wizards Council in a few days."

Vickery shook his head, then turned and disappeared into the dark street.

In the dense shadows of the trees, only the leaves rustling due to the wind and rain...

Late at night, in the Pearl Mansion located in a luxurious area of ​​the imperial capital.

As soon as Taen'er received the news of his daughter's assassination, he immediately rushed back with his people.

"That's what happened..."

Compared with Olivia talking as if nothing had happened, Tyne'er was so angry that his lungs were almost exploding and he wished he could burn Grae alive.

"So my dear, it was Vickery who saved you?"

At the end, Taen'er's tone of inquiry was a little subtle.

"What do you think?" Olivia frowned, she had just said enough details.

"No, dear, how could you talk to dad like that in front of your subordinates?"

Taen'er was a little embarrassed and waved his men out.

"Of course, I'm not blaming you, I'm just making a suggestion..."

"Hmph, forget it."

On the dining table filled with various dishes, Olivia pouted angrily and turned her head away from looking at him.

"Don't be like this, Dad, I was wrong..."

After seeing Taen'er's uneasy look, Olivia quietly turned her head and said timidly.

"Then, then you take me to attend the wizard's council, and I will forgive you if you go."

“…”

Chapter 48 The strength of the chief professor is absolutely beyond doubt

wizard council.

As a wizard, it is a great honor to participate in the parliament, and as the representative of the Pearl family, Tyne has the right to bring a guard knight and a companion forward.

"Um....."

Tyne avoided Olivia's gaze.

The Wolff Mountains where the Wizards' Council is located is a very dangerous place. If possible, he really doesn't want his daughter to go there...

If it hadn't been for today, Tyne would never have met Olivia before the meeting started.

"Hmph...you can eat it yourself, I'm leaving."

Olivia stood up and left.

"Ugh..."

Taen'er sighed, he just couldn't see his daughter like this.

Forget it, it's okay to let her go out and gain experience. If she follows her, nothing too dangerous will happen.

"Okay, okay, I'll take you to the head office. Sit down and eat."

Olivia raised her eyebrows slightly and sat down again with great joy.

"You made your promise, but you can't go back on it."

Taenle smiled.

"When did Dad ever break his promise? But we have to leave early. Thursday is also two days away. Is that okay with you?"

"Why is it four days early?"

Olivia's pupils narrowed suddenly.

"Some information received."

"On the black market?"

"Well, a pretty expensive piece of information."

As of now, among the 12 invited families, Taen'er was the first to get this information.

Originally, Weekly should have better information than him, but for some unknown reason, Weekly suddenly cut off all communication with the Dark World.

Taen'er was very confused about this. With Vickrey's character, he should be more concerned about this kind of matter related to his own safety than anyone else. Doesn't it make sense?

Do you have absolute confidence in your own strength?Or does it mean that he quite trusts the associate professor he just promoted?

Weekly's behavior has become increasingly unpredictable recently.

.

"It's not impossible to go earlier, but we can set off after 6 o'clock on Thursday night."

"That's okay, but why?"

"I have an important class on Thursday. Let's go after it in the afternoon."

Taenle nodded.

"You mean Vickrey's class? Does he teach well?"

"Well, pretty good."

"...pretty good?"

"Well, maybe starting from next semester, it will be very difficult to apply to take his class."

In the past few weeks in the Mage Tower, Weekley's lectures have been extremely popular, with almost no seats occupied.

Although Vickery has a bad temper and has a terrifying amount of homework after class, the knowledge he has learned cannot be deceived.

The students can clearly feel that they are getting stronger. With word of mouth spreading, more and more people will gather under his name.

"Um... eh?"

Tyne was skeptical and even scornful of this.

After that, it was just a normal father-daughter conversation and dinner.

While Olivia was eating, she thought of Vickrey today.

Originally, she thought the other party was just a cold-blooded idiot professor.

But today, Olivia had a little different idea.

There is clearly something hidden beneath that seemingly cold exterior.

Olivia fiddled with the knife and fork absentmindedly, and for some reason...

That gentle smile always appeared in front of her eyes.

-----

the next day.

Vickery arrived at the college by car as usual, but the moment he was about to get off the bus, he almost thought he had taken the wrong road.

"Those people are reporters?"

"It seems so," the coachman replied.

But why do reporters surround the entrance of the college?

Vickrey glanced out of the car window and found Dean Bach standing among the reporters, making strong gestures.

At first, Vickery thought that the dean was trying to drive them away, but after listening carefully to their conversation...

"As the chief professor I was optimistic about from the beginning, Weekly is a good professor who loves his students very much. He has been tracking the whereabouts of the wizard killer since he appeared..."

Dean Bach is holding a press conference seriously alone.

"Now! The hard work has finally paid off! That's right, there is absolutely no doubt about Vickrey's strength. Do you have any questions? Huh? How did you subdue the wizard killer? I don't know..."

"Turn around and go to the back entrance of the college." Vickery said to the driver without hesitation.

"Yes."

As soon as he got off the car, Weekly walked into the Mage Tower and stood in front of the Class A classroom on the third floor.

He adjusted his coat out of habit and then opened the door.

The originally lively chatter in the room suddenly stopped, and the wizards looked up at Vickery one by one.

Chapter 49 The Game Begins

Vickery took the podium.

"Before the fourth week's elemental magic understanding class begins, I will announce the highest and lowest scores from last week's test. The highest score is Olivia's 100 points, and the lowest score is Sophie's 0 points."

"Ugh!"

The wizards were very disappointed. They also expected the professor to tell the legendary story of the arrest of the 'Wizard Killer'.

Vickery didn't pay attention and started teaching.

"In the fourth week, we mainly focus on the earth element. The metal magic derived from all ores including sand is also the subject of our research..."

After a preliminary introduction to the topic, Vickery snapped his fingers.

"Before we start the most basic lessons, let's play a small game to warm up."

Associate Professor Kitty also walked in at this time holding a bag.

Vickery dragged it up with the hand of the mage, and 150 blue gems flew out, one floating in front of each wizard.

The wizards' eyes suddenly widened.

"These are magic gems. Each one is worth 3000 Galleons. I will remain in this state. All you have to do is interfere with my magic. If you can take away the control of the magic gems, I will give them to you.

Magic gems are very important materials for wizards. In addition to being used for magic research, magic recording, and magic media, if you hold it in your hand when casting a spell, it can also enhance the power of magic to a certain extent.

Any rich wizard must have a treasure at his disposal.

After hearing that the magic gem could be obtained for free, Sophie's eyes almost had little stars.

"Before we talk about earth element magic, you must understand what 'magic interference' is."

Magical interference.

That is to use magic power to interfere with the opponent's magic circle, thereby affecting the opponent's spell casting effect.

"Interfering with the opponent's spellcasting is a very important skill in actual combat, but it is also important to learn how to defend. Now I will be the defender and take your attacks."

"But Professor, we are C-level, how can we interfere with you?" A wizard asked doubtfully.

"Strength is not absolute, skills are the key. Although the defender is more advantageous, you still have a chance to break through my defense."

In fact, Weekly was worried about how long his mid-level mage's hands could withstand the attacks of these C-level wizards.

After all, the wizard's hand is the basis of manipulation spells. Many wizards can understand the advanced wizard's hand without even reading the theory books.

Even if he is an A-level wizard who specializes in manipulation and earth elements

, but these C-level wizards are all elites in the academy, and they have basically mastered the hands of senior mages. I can't take it lightly, otherwise it will be too ugly to lose.

"Now the game begins."

"..."

Vickery waited quietly. At first, he expected that he could only last about 3 minutes.

After all, he controlled 150 of them at the same time, and the wizards only had to attack one of them.

However, after 3 minutes.

5 minute later...

10 minute later...

No matter how much Wakeley waited, the 150 magic gems remained motionless, and his mage hands were still working.

"..."

What are they doing?Weekley had some doubts about whether the wizards below were doing nothing but idle work.
