As a villain, I raised a defeated dog to become a black boss

"Think...think. Think!!"

Each word came with more force than the one before.

Will smiled slightly, and the strength of his left hand that suppressed Leah relaxed a little.

"If you think about it, then... the second step is to learn how to hit the ball straight, Teacher Leah."

"Straight... ball?"

"Say whatever you want, go and see what you want to do, and take action boldly if you like whoever you like—"

This is the Leah that Will wants to raise.

"Listen carefully, with your powerful ability and long lifespan, there is nothing you can't get as long as you take action, Leah."

He kept turning the coin coated with peppermint essential oil in his hand, and Leah's red eyes kept moving along with the turning of his coin.

"Especially, the person you like...as long as you learn how, you can easily get him, right?"

"... easy?"

"Listen up, because you are the strongest, the cutest, the most charming-"

Leah raised her eyes.

Her heartbeat was very fast, the magic circuit in her body was turning very fast, and the focus of her eyes gradually shifted from the coin in Will's hand...

It extended to Will's entire being.

"——When you stand in front of him, you will be the only one left in his eyes..."

Will, who was wearing glasses, saw Leah herself in his left eye that could see clearly, with golden twin tails and red pupils.

All she could hear in her ears was her own rapidly accelerating heartbeat.

"Ming...understood..."

You...are the strongest, the cutest, the most charming?

It seemed like this was the first time she heard someone praise herself like this.

Slowly, Leah felt her consciousness returning little by little.

And the Will in front of him became clearer and clearer.

Let……

Will's blue eyes are actually very beautiful, although they are hidden under the frame most of the time, and he just stares at himself against the wall.

Let him see only himself?

"Then, the last step. As long as you accept me as your student, that is, you become my mentor, this coin will be given to you."

Student… mentor?

Now she can only take one student, and she is the first student...

Yes……

he?

...Will System?

The young master in front of her, whom she thought was just a playboy, was actually a tough-minded young man with a pretty good mind...

She's actually not a nasty... guy.

At this moment, Leah's heartbeat accelerated in another way, and a strange sense of shyness broke through the refreshing feeling of the blood mint with the original personality barrier.

She was agitated.

"No, no, no, no - no! I won't agree!"

Leah shook her head wildly, her twin ponytails swinging like a rattle.

"What, what's wrong..."

Will was startled. This scene was as scary as when you thought someone was asleep and ran to draw a funny face on her face, and her eyes suddenly opened wide.

Why did she suddenly come back? !

"You, you, you, you - what are you doing when someone is unprepared?!"

"I, I, I, I...I didn't do anything. I just asked you a few questions."

"I...I didn't lose my memory. Hmm! Wait...what did I answer..."

Leah's face turned red instantly.

"It's none of your business! I want to go back and be quiet——"

"Eh...wait...wait?"

Will stood there, looking at Leah's pink twintails disappearing deep into the corridor, and scratched his head.

He didn't understand.

Why did Leah, who seemed to be hypnotized, answer all the previous questions truthfully, but the last one... did she wake up?

Chapter 31 The anxious heroine

"So it is, so it is."

Shona was sitting in the corner of the Adventurers Association. The people coming and going around her seemed to have nothing to do with her. She was looking at a book in her hand seriously.

Half of the cover has fallen off, and only the piece of paper is still left in place of the title, and the title can be vaguely seen——

"Study on the Behavior of Witches".

"The magic circuits of witches are different from those of ordinary people. In addition to being highly related to blood, they are also related to nerves, senses, and emotions. In short, it is precisely because the magic circuits in witches are more directly connected to people that they often More talented.”

Shona nodded, wrote the words "magic circuit" in the notebook next to her, turned her pen around, and started thinking.

At the Adventurer's Association at night, there were many people celebrating a day's victory in the dungeon and using the venue for team building, but the noisy sounds and the rich smell of champagne didn't seem to disturb Shona's thinking.

"The blood mint actually only intensifies the flow of the witch's magic circuit, but perhaps the witch's magic circuit is too closely involved with the nerves, senses, and emotions. As a result, the witches have an inexplicable influence on the blood mint from the nerves, senses, and emotions. Dependence, this dependence may be transferred to the user."

"Some research on the behavior of witches has found that in history, monarchs who used witches as behind-the-scenes agents to achieve their goals seemed to have secretly purchased blood mint."

Shona paused her fingers after reading this.

"Hmm... that is to say, bloody mint. It was not originally a catalyst used by the witch to improve herself, but a prop used by those who wanted to control the witch to control her spirit and body."

Shona licked her fingers, rubbed the old book, and turned a page.

"But... the mental state of the witch race itself is worrying. It is not recommended to control witches in this way. According to historical data research, bloody mint seems to increase the possessiveness of witches. Monarchs who use witches often have unhappy endings. Be careful. Catching fire."

Shona was silent.

She actually read this book because in the letters W sent her in the past few years, she had been hoping that she could find more high-quality blood mints. In the last letter, she jokingly mentioned that she had been raped. The witch burned her hand.

"Uh... W, you couldn't have... tried to use this thing to trick the witch, only to be killed instead, right?"

No, no, this inference is too forced and does not conform to the logic of reasoning. It is just a forced combination of related things and a convincing result. There is no other evidence from a third party to support it.

"but……"

Shona's fingers moved the page slightly, revealing a page under the note page, which was a beautiful letterhead paper.

"Should we tell him such an important thing? No, maybe it would be better to let him really suffer."

Slowly, the night gradually deepened, and the noise of the Adventurers Association gradually stopped. People left and people left, leaving only the lone lamp on Shona's table and the president Isaac who was finishing the day's work.

"Shuna? Aren't you leaving yet?"

"Waiting for you to put up tomorrow's commission, I have to see if there are any commissions to go to the 'Snowy Abyss' for a fixed number of floors today..."

Shona carefully took out the bookmark, placed it in the book, and closed the book.

Then she walked to the blank commission board that occupied one wall. Isaac posted one sheet and she followed it.

"This is the first time I've seen you with such a clear goal and being so impatient."

Isaac pulled the note from his hand.They are not a big association, and they are still using this ancient method of issuing commissions, writing the relevant needs on slips of paper and pasting them on the board.However, perhaps because of Shouna's presence, their association has attracted many powerful free adventurers to station there. The requests for help are getting more and more, and Isaac often has to sort them out until late at night.

"I remember that a long time ago, you went into the snowy abyss in order to obtain that... ice dragon's gastric juice."

"That time was that time, and now is now. Well...doesn't everyone need ice-attribute materials anymore? Why are there fewer requests from Xueyuan?"

"Tsk, that's because Xueyuan is no longer the Xueyuan you used to take the ice dragon's gastric juice."

Isaac took down the cigarette from his mouth and dusted off the ashes. Every time he thought of the day when Shona was covered in ice dragon gastric juice and said she had to find a hot spring in a hot dungeon when she came back, his fingers holding the cigarette would become numb. Trembling slightly.

"The number of layers in Xueyuan now has increased from 30 to 60 - you should know what that means. The more layers the dungeon has, the more abundant resources and monsters the empress can allocate. The harder it is to get through.”

"...I know. It's precisely because it reaches the 60th floor that I need to challenge it."

Under the night light, Xiuna's eyes were particularly determined, and she kept scanning the commissions one by one. She was extremely serious, not like a little girl who had been reading here all night.

Isaac felt something was unusual.In the past, she had been very casual about choosing commissions in the Adventurers Association, and it seemed that because she was still a student of Entak Second Academy, she would occasionally disappear.

But recently, not only did she have a clear goal, but she also stayed in the Adventurers Association for a longer time. She also paid special attention to whether the adventure teams coming and going wanted to challenge Xueyuan.

This may only mean...

"...Are you in a hurry?"

Isaac originally thought that after he asked this question, Shona would immediately retort, and even excitedly took out a knife and threatened him in front of him.

but……

nothing.

She calmly slid her finger over a commission and said:

"...a little bit."

"As expected. That's what happened when you received the letter the day before yesterday. What happened to W's side?"

"Boss, your guess is quite accurate. Ah, I found it. There has been a team going to a place outside the 60th floor recently."

Xiuna didn't even read the request carefully, and directly took off the piece of paper from the board.

"He should have used some packaging to describe his current situation. But some words that would not normally appear in his letters can prove the authenticity. He was burned by the witch's flame on his right hand."

"That's it? Are you going to Xueyuan?"

"If my guess is correct, if an ice-attributed dungeon is developed to the 50th floor, an ice-attributed ice demon-type BOSS can be spawned. The specific function is not important. According to records, the blood of the snow girl can cure any cause. Blockage of magical circuits caused by burns.”

Shona's tone was very calm, but Isaac, who was familiar with her, could tell that her speaking speed was accelerating, which was slightly different from Shona who usually dropped a bag of books to learn a lot of dungeon knowledge.

On weekdays, when she was talking to people about science, she would speak at a steady pace, and she was rarely as excited as she was now.

"Having said so much. Girl, I think you just want to give this W something to treat his burns, right?"

The more Isaac listened, the more he felt that this so-called W was like a pretty boy who came from somewhere and was cheating on Shona with food and drink every day.

"Yeah. I don't know why it turned out like this, but I just wanted to see him in good health. The handwriting written like this is really ugly... Although I haven't met him in person, I feel... quite pitiful."

Xiuna looked at the commission and smiled happily.

"Besides... the bookmark is very beautiful. I wonder if the blood of the ice demon can be as beautiful?"

Chapter 32 Reflections of the Witch

"Hmph, it's just a small coin. I, Leah, don't believe that I can't do it without you."

That night, nine days before the competition, Leah continued to study "moistening things with warmth" in the laboratory, and what was waiting for her was...

failure.

This time it seemed that too much was used, and the solvent that exploded spread everywhere in the laboratory.

"It's just that I accidentally spilled too much."

Leah said this with sticky white solvent on her face.

There were eight days left before the competition. Leah came to the laboratory early in the morning and started working full of motivation. What awaited her was...

failure.

This time it seemed that the amount of solvent was not enough. The solvent turned off instantly before it could heat up. I don’t know what happened, but also turned off the light next to it.

"Technical...it's just a technical adjustment, a small, small problem."

In the dark laboratory, Leah stuck her butt out and fumbled for lamp oil under the stage, saying this.

failure.
