"Y-You didn’t see !"
[Speed Boost]
Vivianne detonated the air beneath her feet as she tried to escape. The powerful gust of the explosion launched her far away, leaving the unconscious student lying on the ground behind her.
"I don’t really bla her..."
My mouth twitched, sure... what she did was the smart thing, hell, I would even do the sa thing in her shoes.
But that doesn’t at all an I would tolerate a previous student of mine running away from without paying back for my services.
BEEP!
’You called, Cael?’
"Can you allow to talk to Vivianne for the day?"
CRACK!
I heard a vase shatter through the transceiver the mont I spoke those words.
’I hope I misheard you there...’
"Let explain... basically..."
I explained everything to Evelina, from the reason why I started to train her to the price she had to pay in order to be trained.
I needed to make sure to leave no detail missing if I wanted to not get killed by her the next ti we et.
My heart couldn’t take it if she suddenly hated .
’To repeat... this is just to increase your social standing, right?’
"Yes, nothing more."
I replied through the transceiver, kneeling down beside the unconscious student and checking if he had anything useful on him.
If I were stuck here in the anti, it wouldn’t hurt to check if he had anything useful I could potentially use in the future.
’F-Fine... but... ugh, nevermind.’
I could hear Evelina’s reluctant agreent through the static, along with her ordering a servant to clean up the shattered vase.
She didn’t at all want to accept, but as pragmatic as she was, she had no choice but to accept, really.
It would hurt her as well if her ’servant’ were literally hated or unpopular throughout the academy.
Besides... if anything did happen, well, Vivianne’s family was weak enough that she could easily crush her if she dared to lay hands on .
And she made sure to tell it directly to on the transceiver.
’You got that?’
"I got everything, love you."
’You’re ridiculous.’
Evelina sighed, ending the call.
Now I have another problem, this ti, finding where the hell Vivianne even went, but... with how much wind magic she used to escape from .
It shouldn’t be hard to track her. I would be a disgrace as an S-Rank and a student if I couldn’t find a literal wind mage who radiated that much magic from her escape.
[Profaned Step]
"I should have lost him, right?"
Vivianne hid between two academy buildings, leaning back against a wall as she tried to catch her breath. Even with wind magic, the sheer speed she was going at would be enough to tire anyone. Even with her newly gained stamina from the training.
"It’s rude to run, you know?"
EEK!
Vivianne imdiately jumped when she heard my voice echoing behind her, already stretching her palms toward as she attempted to cast another spell.
[Wind—crack
I moved fast, grabbing her wrist and disrupting her casting with a simple hint of chaos magic within her system.
"You know... if that misunderstanding alone was enough to make Evelina kill you, how much worse do you think it’ll be for you if you try to harm ?"
I snickered, whispering in her ear.
But... I underestimated how much Evelina had affected her that day.
Because the mont I made my threat.
She fainted and fell backward, and I had to literally catch her by grabbing her hand and back to keep her from hitting the floor.
And here I thought I trained her to stand up for herself.
"Did you hear about the—?"
A group of female students sohow passed the alley the mont I caught her from falling.
It was just my luck... what the hell did I even do to deserve this today?
"W-What are you doing to Lady Vivianne, you creep!"
The girl beside the one who spotted moved first, a fireball already prepared and ready to launch at the mont I moved a muscle.
But...
[Profaned Prince]
"Sleep!"
If my words were powerful enough to affect a dog, it sure as hell would affect a human, and while it was still a weaker version of the demon prince modifier, it sure as hell was enough to knock out a group of C-Rank and below students.
And besides, it was mostly psychological; I could just leave them lying on the open ground without anyone being able to track it to .
I’d let the other students who find them handle cleaning up my ss.
"As for you..."
I stare at Vivianne’s unconscious face, even from her muscles alone, I could still feel the tension and sheer fear she felt when I ntioned Evelina’s na and possible punishnt.
"She isn’t a villainess for nothing."
I nod proudly, still glad that even if Evelina was more rciful this ti around, she was still feared, and it should stay that way, because if it doesn’t? Well... I’d have to do sothing about that, didn’t I?
But I’m getting ahead of myself!
"Praise convenient teleportation..." I snickered to myself as I teleported us away from this sketchy alleyway surrounded by unconscious students.
The last thing I needed was for anyone to see again.
[Profaned Step]
FWOOSH!
[Dark Step]
The mont I left the area, however, Kevin imdiately appeared to replace , his eyes filled with a burning curiosity as he still held the dark magic book tightly in his hands, now worn from constant use.
"Gotcha!"
He yelled out, but was shocked to find nothing but a few unconscious students.
He even looked around to confirm if there was anything else.
"T-That’s strange... I swear I just felt so weird disturbance around here..."
Sighing, he pinched the bridge of his nose, disappointed that he detected the disturbance too late, and that the likely source of it was now gone.
But...
"That’s weird..."
He kneeled, inspecting the unconscious students, imdiately feeling a small, strange energy gather at his fingertips the mont he touched their hands.
"It’s master’s energy..."
He grinned at the revelation, licking his lips.
This was a perfect ti to start an experint.
SLAP!
"No!"
He hit himself hard in the face, realising that what he was thinking probably crossed a line at so point. Besides... these were still unconscious students who had barely done anything to him.
The least he could do was bring them to the dical district and then ask if he could test them for sothing after they woke up.
