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

As soon as I touched the water, that feeling was immediately relieved.

"……call!"

After a moment, she looked up.

"Ah, I thought I was going to die."

Looking at Sophie with swollen lips and red eye sockets, Olivia felt very happy.

"It's so pathetic, look over there."

Sophie finally opened her eyes and looked in the direction Olivia pointed.

Directly above the scroll, a sentence is projected.

[Good design, but you used it in the wrong direction. 】

"Ah! Damn Vickrey..."

The angry Sophie dipped her face in the water again, while Olivia began to modify the scroll.

"..."

But as she watched, she felt a little wary in her heart.

I have to admit that Sophie's design is very clever, and this tap-type magic circle once deceived her eyes.

She is catching up...

But compared to Sophie, Vickrey, who can dismantle and complete the transformation without any fuss, is even more terrifying.

To achieve this step, a huge amount of calculations and extraordinary insights are indispensable.

Vickery was even better than she expected...

Chapter 118

On the top floor of the college's mage tower, a regular executive meeting is being held.

The professors arrived one by one.

"Before the meeting begins, I would like to congratulate Professor Weekly on his successful selection as His Majesty's magic teacher!"

Dean Bach watched as Vickery took the lead in applauding.

Despite their reluctance, the other professors applauded sparsely.

Vickery nodded slightly in response.

"Are you going to the palace tomorrow? Although Evelin has also been promoted, but no matter what, this matter is also a great honor for our college!"

Dean Bach looked around and continued.

"Okay, let's get into the topic. Due to the death of the late emperor, the schedule has been postponed a lot. Everyone should hurry up and prepare for the final exam. If you need venue rental, apply as soon as possible."

If the theme of the college's midterm exam is theory, the theme of the final exam is practical.

"Then you also know the resolution passed by the Wizards Council before. Now is an extraordinary period. Mage towers everywhere need to cooperate with the church to purify demons..."

"The church has also sent us a request for support. The matter seems to be serious, and they named Chief Professor Vickrey."

Dean Bach looked at him with a smile.

"is that OK?"

--

[Side mission: Purify surrounding demons]

Reward: Talent Point +2

--

At the same time, a task prompt popped up on Weekley's retina.

"……Can."

After pondering for a moment, he agreed.

With the blood of a demon hunter, he is undoubtedly the most suitable candidate.

"Well, then how can this matter be settled? In addition, His Majesty's decree has been issued. The closed Blackstone Mountain will develop the Galalon mining area next week. Everyone should do a good job in protection. Professor Vickery, please take care of this. .”

The professors swallowed nervously.

Although they wanted to object, this was an order from His Majesty and there was nothing they could do.

The current emperor is a radical lion, and those who resist her will not end well.

Vickery knew this too.

Depending on the player's options, she may be an enemy.Also probably the most reliable teammate.

"Finally, we have to talk about the financial income and expenses of each professor's research project."

The professors here were sweating profusely.

Are you planning to cancel the project?

Dean Bach projected tables one after another, most of which were deficit curves.

"Except for Professor Wakely, it seems that everyone's performance is not very satisfactory, and their income is like a stagnant water, with no waves at all."

Although Vickery's research has been stagnant for many years, half of his remuneration for frequently attending lectures belongs to the academy, and the income he generates far exceeds that of others.

"I... Dean, with all due respect, we are engaged in academic research. Isn't it too..."

Leylin defended carefully.

Although the professors headed by Leylin are not very strong and only have a level of around B+, they have made great academic achievements and are making steady progress.

It's just that it consumes a lot of manpower and material resources, and the cost is not ordinary.

"You can't make money from pure academics? Aren't Professor Weekly's midterm exam questions pure academics? You can still make a lot of money."

Dean Bach retorted by slamming the table.

"So, in order to mobilize everyone's enthusiasm, I decided to set up a project fund approval department and appoint ministers through elections. Of course, you can also recommend yourself..."

Upon hearing this, Vickery raised his hands.

"Let me do it."

The Project Fund Approval Department, to put it simply, manages the approval of research funds for professors. It is a very powerful position.

But Weekley's purpose is far more than that. His ultimate goal is to be the dean of the college.

"Oh? Are you going to recommend yourself?"

"Yes, from a performance perspective alone, I am also the most suitable candidate."

In terms of time, Bach will successfully advance to the S-class wizard in at most one year. It is impossible for a wizard of this level to stay in the academy forever.

After he leaves, as long as he climbs up to his seat in the yard, he will be able to receive a maximum magic power reward of up to 1000 points.

"...Okay then, does anyone else have any opinions?"

Bach looked embarrassed, but he couldn't refuse directly, so he turned to the professors.

Vickrey immediately glared at them, his eyes full of warning.

"..."

The professors lowered their heads deeply, and no one dared to speak.

Great, no one dared to stand up.

"But Vickrey, your own research has been stagnant for so many years. Are you qualified for this position?"

Dean Bach said worriedly.

"This is not a conflict. I will publish a study on the lost magic 'ancient runes' in the near future to prove the power. You can look forward to it."

Vickery looked calm.

Dean Bach gave him a confused look.

"Rune magic? You are actually studying that...Okay, if Professor Weekly can really achieve such academic achievements, then you deserve this position, but if you can't, then don't blame me..."

-----

"...There are such rumors in the academy recently."

In the study room of the palace, Yekarina listened to the report of the eunuch leader 'Chawen'.

"Is it possible that Vickery will become the next dean?"

"Judging from his actions, it seems that he is planning this position, but there should be little hope. After all, his own research has long since stalled..."

As eunuchs, they have contact with many people, so they are extremely well-informed.

"If Weekly can really solve the rune magic, coupled with his status as the head of the Pod family, he is very likely to become the dean, but even so, he will need your permission, Your Majesty."

Yekarina nodded, then turned her gaze to the door.

Count the time, they should be here too.

By chance, a woman wearing a tight-fitting robe appeared in her sight.

The long, dark green hair that seemed to be in a dark forest was slightly curly, exuding a seductive charm; the sharp facial features and almost pale lip color were extremely outstanding even in Yekarina's eyes.

"Evelyn Josephine!"

Yekarina shouted.

"Yes!"

Amidst the heroic shouting, the frightened Evelin hurriedly knelt down on one knee, her head lowered, which represented the highest respect.

Evelin was as motionless as a statue, as if she had no intention of getting up before His Majesty looked away.

Then, another man appeared behind her.

Ekarina shouted again.

"Wakele Pod."

Vickery looked directly into Yekarina's eyes, without any wavering or fear in his eyes.

"Yes."

He bowed slightly, but did not kneel.

Yekarina asked the eunuch behind in a low voice.

"Why doesn't he kneel down?"

"According to tradition, in the first year, the emperor's master is equivalent to your majesty's friend, and there is no need to perform the courtesy of the emperor and his ministers."

"yes."

"But to say that, he is really presumptuous."

The eunuch Chavin's tone was very angry, but Yekarina just smiled and didn't care.

"Okay, I've finished saying hello. Let's get up."

She waved and ordered the attendants to set up the chessboard.

"I've been too tired these days. The first class, compared to the boring magic..."

There was a smile on Yekarina's lips and a hint of sarcasm in her eyes.

"As 'friends', you can play chess with me first..."

Chapter 119 Evelin, you look even more disgusting than before.

three years ago.

The Imperial Academy is in a commotion because of the upcoming selection of chief professors.

Among them, the most powerful competitor is undoubtedly Vickrey. In terms of attainments in elemental magic, no one can match him.

But in terms of overall strength, Evelin is better than Vickrey.

More importantly, because of the issue of character, the number of people supporting her is obviously more than that of Vickrey.

You must know that Weekley is already arrogant enough now, and everyone really can't imagine what it will be like for him to become the chief professor.
