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

"If there are any subsequent profits, I will distribute them reasonably to help his family revitalize. I will also publicly apologize on the day the research is published."

The sun shines on his face.

Just like the solid ice under the spring sun, the ice is cold yet warm.

It's melting.

In the wind and snow, Youla felt the hard-won warmth, and she asked softly.

"...Why didn't you say that then?"

Vickrey did not avoid the other party's gaze, he looked directly into Yula's eyes.

"I couldn't change anything at that time, and..."

"At that time you were just looking for reasons to hate me."

From the perspective of an outsider like him, his predecessor did love Yula, but Yula never felt sincerely.

"Relationships are not something that can be harvested by just one party's efforts."

"……wrong."

But Yula's thoughts were different from his.

She shook her head firmly.

"I... used to like you."

At that moment, Vickery's pupils dilated and his body unconsciously took a step forward.

"……what do you mean?"

As childhood sweethearts, Eura and Vickrey have known each other for a long time.

Fifteen years ago, Weekly was not the head of the Pod family, and Yora was just a little girl who fantasized about becoming a knight.

At that time, Yura trusted Vickrey unconditionally.

Although she has experienced too much disappointment and pain towards Vickrey during this period, Yora plans to believe in Vickrey one last time...

"At that time..."

"No, let bygones be bygones."

Vickery shook his head and interrupted Yura's words.

"I am no longer the same person I was before. The person I was at that time was not the real me."

Yula, whose cheeks were burning, quickly nodded shyly. She knew what Vickrey meant, but she was still muttering in a low voice.

"But I like you now more than before..."

Vickery looked at her.

"Yura."

"Well, you said."

"If possible, I hope that in the future you and I can go our own way."

The smile on Vickrey's face broke the coldness in the past, and he seemed to be a new person who was always serious.

"But before that, for your own good and for my own good, I will try my best to keep distance from you and stop loving you so much."

"..."

Yura looked at him in disbelief.

Vickery spoke out his truest thoughts.

"So, move forward without any burden, and I will be watching you from behind."

After saying that, he turned around without any hesitation.

"Besides, you've had a hard day today, so be careful on the road."

Yora looked at Vickrey's retreating figure, her lips moved slightly, as if she wanted to say something.

Unconsciously, the midday sun illuminated the gloom in her heart.

Soon, a sunny smile spread across the corners of Yula's mouth.

"……I will."

She realized it again today.

Vickery is trying to change herself.

And so much has changed quietly, and she doesn't know the hard work involved.

But it's obvious that Vickery made the change for her...

"..."

Yura was immersed in the warmth like candlelight.

After a while, she turned back and walked in the opposite direction.

"So, move forward without any burden, and I will be watching you from behind."

His words still ring in my ears.

"..."

Suddenly, she stopped and looked back again.

There was no trace of Vickrey in the endless snowfield.

Yora immediately turned around and walked on her own path.

The blizzard blew again, but the sunshine in her heart melted the snow on her body.

Yura is gone.

But at the same time, he also admitted the fact that he was devoted to Vickrey.

Chapter 116 Accident?

Three days later, the screening review ended successfully.

The winner is Ralph and the rest of the knights are eliminated.

Thanks to this job, in three days, Weekly learned one and a half moves of the top knight through the heart of the master.

Although they are all intermittent swordsmanship, they are of great help to him who only knows military swordsmanship.

As soon as he returned to the academy's office, Weekly compiled and recorded these combat skills for future use in the magic of the 'Autonomous Humanoid Puppet'...

Because of the high-energy operation of the fanatical alchemist's hands during this period, his alchemy level has reached LV4.

The level of metal reinforcement and manipulation is next level.

Therefore, Weekly had a bold idea to shape his mithril metal into a humanoid puppet, which might be able to serve as his stand-in at a critical moment...

Just as he was putting the notes he just put in the drawer, he saw a book inside.

A book without a title.

This was something Vickrey found in his predecessor's room. Judging from the magic power it exudes, Wuyi is a magic item.

Usually the use of this kind of magic props

The methods are very simple.

Just inject magic.

"..."

The moment he put his hand on the diary.

"Dong dong."

There was a knock on the door, and Vickery closed the drawer and opened the door with a mage's hand.

"Congratulations to Professor for becoming an Imperial Master!"

Kitty said happily while holding the cake.

Has the royal family made an announcement yet?

Vickery thought silently and nodded at the same time.

"Is there a list?"

"Give!"

Kitty seemed to have been waiting for this moment and took it out immediately.

However, Weekly frowned as soon as he saw the list.

[Royal Magic Instructors: Vickery Pod, Evelyn Josephine. 】

How come there are two people?Generally speaking, shouldn't it be one?

But it’s not too bad, after all, Evelin will have to meet sooner or later…

But for some reason, Vickery suddenly had an ominous premonition.

really……

On the next line, his fears come true.

[Royal Knight Instructors: Yora, Spencer, Ralph, and Eugene. 】

"what?!"

Yekarina actually hired four people at the same time.

Faced with this unprecedented situation, I actually wrote a thoughtful note under the announcement.

[Your Majesty hopes to learn Yula's ice sword, Spencer's wind-like fast sword, Eugene's sacred swordsmanship, and Ralph's heavy sword at the same time. ]

[Gathering the strengths of hundreds of schools of thought should be what emperors learn. ]

that moment.

--

[Main mission: Demon in the palace]

Reward: Talent Points +10

Additional rewards unknown.

--

The system actually released a task with a reward of up to 10 talent points.

But Vickery couldn't be happier.

"Professor, why don't you eat the cake? Take a bite, I made it myself..."

Kitty was chirping as if celebrating the New Year, not noticing that Vickery's expression was a bit ugly.

"……go out."

Vickery pointed at the door.

"Ah, yes!"

Finally realizing that something was wrong in the atmosphere, Kitty hurriedly ran out.

"..."

Vickery stared at the list and fell into thought.

But no matter how you look at it, the list will not change. The emperor's willfulness completely broke his plan.

"damn it……"

Vickery rubbed his temples in distress.

"Dong dong."

There was another knock on the door.

He was about to go out, so he walked closer and opened the door.
