With Hecatia acting as her training partner, Litte not only gained practical experience but also benefited imnsely from the magical insights Hecatia shared during their sessions.
Tyril’s actions hadn’t hard Litte; instead, they had made her stronger.

anwhile, Tyril returned to Donny’s dormitory in the afternoon, looking utterly defeated.
“Reporting to Young Master Donny...” Tyril said, swallowing nervously as he stood before Donny, who was seated at his desk. He gave a deep bow before continuing.
“As per your instructions, I originally planned to stage an ‘accident’ during the magic practice session to disfigure Litte. However, our class teacher, Hecatia, seems to be intentionally protecting him, and I wasn’t able to succeed...”
“Moreover, I was expelled from the class by Professor Hecatia. I’m not even sure if she has the authority to do that, but it seems I won’t be able to continue carrying out the task you assigned .”
“Hmm.” Donny nodded and gestured for Tyril to co closer.
“Tyril,” he suddenly said.
“Yes, Young Master?”
“What do you think of the way I’ve treated you?”
“Young Master has always been good to ,” Tyril responded without hesitation.
“Good. I won’t bla you for failing this task.” Donny said this as he pulled a pouch of coins from his desk and handed it to Tyril. “I know you’ve worked hard, even going so far as to offend your professor on my behalf.”
“This money is for you—a reward for your loyalty to over the years.”
“Young Master...” Seeing that Donny wasn’t angry and was instead being so understanding, Tyril was genuinely moved.
He had co here expecting to be beaten for his failure. Instead, not only was he spared, but he was also rewarded with a hefty sum of money.
“However, I’ve co up with an excellent plan that will allow you to complete the original task I gave you. And this task is one that only you can carry out,” Donny said, revealing his true purpose.
Tyril, however, didn’t think much of it. Holding the money in his hands, he felt so indebted to Donny that he was ready to die for him.
“Young Master Donny, please tell what to do. As long as it’s within my power, I’ll do it without hesitation!”
“Good. With those words, I can rest easy.” Donny patted Tyril on the shoulder and then leaned in to whisper sothing in his ear.
Hearing this, Tyril’s expression turned to one of shock.
“Young Master Donny, if the disciplinary committee or the Student Council finds out about this, we’ll be...”
“That’s why I trust in your abilities,” Donny said, looking at Tyril. “Do your best, Tyril. Don’t let down.”
“Understood.” Moved by Donny’s faith in him, Tyril nodded resolutely. “I won’t fail you!”

Two days later, at noon, after class, a quiet female classmate approached Litte.
“Um, Litte, I... I have sothing to tell you. Could we talk in the nearby grove?”
“Ah, sure.” Litte nodded.
The girl had always been quiet in class and wasn’t part of Tyril’s little gang, so Litte didn’t suspect anything.
That afternoon, Litte followed the girl into the grove.
“So, what did you want to talk about?” Litte asked, looking at the girl with so confusion.
“Litte, could you co a little closer?”
“Uh, alright.” Litte nodded and stepped closer.
Suddenly, the girl began removing her clothes.
“Hey, what are you—”
“Ah! Help! He’s assaulting !” The girl scread, cutting off Litte’s words.
As soon as she shouted, several people erged from the surrounding trees.
Litte recognized them—they were Tyril’s lackeys.
“My goodness, Litte, I can’t believe you’re this kind of person!” one of them exclaid, pointing at Litte with a look of shock.
Another quickly ran out of the grove.
“No, listen to , let explain...” Litte tried to defend herself, but the lackeys only smirked.
When the disciplinary committee mbers arrived, the girl had already put her clothes back on and was crying pitifully.
“What’s going on here?” one of the committee mbers asked.
“Let explain!” One of the students who had witnessed the scene raised his hand and dramatically recounted the events, embellishing the story with plenty of fabricated details.
The committee mbers listened, looking skeptical, then turned to the girl.
“Is what he said true?” one of them asked.
“Mm.” The girl nodded tearfully.
“No, you can’t just falsely accuse like this!” Litte said, her voice tinged with urgency. “She was the one who brought here and undressed in front of . I didn’t do anything!”
“If you don’t believe , you can check! I didn’t touch her at all...”
“Do we have to wait until you’ve actually assaulted her before it counts as a violation?” one of the committee mbers said harshly. “You’d better not resist. Co with us now, or we won’t hesitate to use force.”
“...” Litte was silent for a mont before nodding.
If she resisted now, it would only make her look more suspicious. She had no choice but to go with the committee mbers.
“As for you, young lady, we understand your situation, but we’ll need you to co with us as well to provide your testimony,” the committee mber said to the girl, his tone noticeably softer.
“When we get to the disciplinary office, please give us a full account of what happened. After that, you’re free to go.”
“Ah, alright...”
—
Half an hour later, in the disciplinary office, the committee mbers were reviewing the testimonies.
“Well...” The girl, whose na was Anya, began her account. “Before class this morning, Litte told he had sothing to say and asked to et him in the grove after lunch. I thought it was strange—why couldn’t he just tell in class? Why did it have to be in the grove?”
“Then Litte said it was sothing private and needed a secluded place to talk.”
“I thought about it. Litte’s always had a good reputation, so I agreed.”
“But when we got to the grove, he... he suddenly grabbed , said he liked , and started pulling off my clothes. I was so scared that I scread. Luckily, there were other students nearby. Otherwise, I don’t know what might’ve happened...”
Anya’s voice trembled, and tears welled up in her eyes.
“Alright, we understand,” the committee mber taking her testimony said. “Don’t worry, Anya. We’ll make sure justice is served.”
“Thank you...” Anya replied softly.
