The Villain’s Cheat Code: When a Gamer Becomes the Evil God’s Sidekick Chapter 12: Because I Can Make Money

"Professor Viktor, I... I can't do it."

Henie shook her head hurriedly, lowering her gaze, not daring to look at Viktor.

"Listen to , Henie."

"These past few days, I've had you audit the classes for a reason - to learn how to teach a good lesson."

Viktor placed his hand on Henie's shoulder, clearly feeling her petite fra shiver slightly.

Henie looked up, her eyes filled with indescribable worry.

"Professor, I'm afraid I won't do well... it might affect your reputation."

"Reputation?"

Did he have a reputation?

While this might sound self-deprecating, he truly didn't care much about reputation.

Viktor gently patted Henie's back, calming her trembling body slightly.

The reassurance had its effect, and he spoke again.

"Go on."

He knew that no matter how much he said to Henie, this naturally timid little lamb wouldn't agree.

So Viktor chose to use a commanding tone rather than a negotiating one.

Henie knew she couldn't refuse the professor.

The professor would be... displeased...

Henie took a deep breath, steeling herself as she pushed open the classroom door.

The previously noisy room quickly quieted down, but when the students saw Henie walk up to the podium, they couldn't help but feel confused.

Where was the professor?

Why was his teaching assistant standing at the podium?

Feeling the students' gazes wandering over her, Henie felt imnse pressure.

"Um..."

"The professor has sothing to attend to today, so... I'll be teaching in his place..."

Her voice grew softer and softer, the last two words barely audible even to herself, like the buzzing of a mosquito.

As her words fell, it was as if a bomb had been dropped into calm waters.

Following the explosion in the water, the fish began to chatter.

"No way..."

"She's just a teaching assistant, how can she substitute for the professor?"

"Forget about whether the professor allowed it, does she even have the professor's ability?"

"We want Professor Viktor to teach! If our grades drop, can you take responsibility?"

Henie was berated by many students, one sentence after another, until she could barely lift her head. She lowered her gaze, like a punching bag.

Her eyes darted around frantically, wishing she could find a crack in the ground to crawl into.

Wuwu... Professor Viktor, I can't do it, I really can't...

Professor, please co back quickly...

"I'm... I'm sor-"

"Silence!"

The sudden voice startled Henie, and she quietly lifted her head.

At so point, Erica, sitting in the front, had stood up.

Magical ripples surrounded her, with an intricate and complex magic array floating before her.

Henie had seen that array before.

It was a silencing spell.

Except for the user, no creature within the controlled range could make a sound with their mouth.

"Assistant Henie, please continue."

Wuwu, Erica, thank you!

She was imnsely grateful for Erica's help, while also feeling a bit guilty.

On the day the professor first arrived, she had spoken ill of Erica.

Who would have thought that this ti, she would be the one to co to her rescue.

Next ti during the exam, I'll definitely tell you the exam scope in advance!

Henie had already thought of how to repay Erica.

"Not bad."

Viktor was leaning against the door outside, fully aware of every move inside the classroom.

Erica's assistance surprised Viktor and left him quite satisfied, while Henie's fear was understandable.

He had originally thought to use the pressure from the students to help Henie grow quickly, but now it seed the effect might be counterproductive.

But having Henie teach was also a necessary asure.

He was to leave the city with Gwen tomorrow, for up to half a month, or at least a week.

No matter what, if he wanted to keep his position as a professor, he couldn't abandon these students' courses.

So Viktor thought of Henie.

His course was originally written by Henie, so there was absolutely no problem with her ability.

The only concern was her timidity.

He needed Henie to overco this on her own, to understand that she was capable of teaching these students well.

With Erica's help, the classroom environnt quieted down.

Henie took a deep breath to adjust her emotions, and finally mustered the courage to start teaching.

She lectured on the content written in the speech draft, material she had long since morized by heart.

Soon, Henie found her rhythm, becoming increasingly at ease as she taught.

Viktor, who had been secretly observing the whole ti, nodded. When it ca to teaching, Henie undoubtedly had talent.

The students also transitioned from initial doubt to confusion, and finally to surprise.

They realized that Henie's teaching rhythm was perfect, giving them a feeling.

It was as if Professor Viktor himself was teaching.

In the end, they were all imrsed in Henie's class.

In the classroom, only Henie's lecture and the sound of pens scratching on paper could be heard.

As Henie was lecturing, she suddenly paused.

Because this part required the teacher to demonstrate a spell.

Second-tier Magic: [Star Shatter]

Since Professor Viktor was a powerful third-tier mage, when preparing the course, she had written the content from Professor Viktor's perspective.

Unexpectedly, she had set herself up for a stumble.

She herself was only a magic apprentice.

Even if she knew the theory of this spell, she didn't have the magical power to support its use.

Though panicked, she quickly cald down.

"Erica, could you demonstrate this spell for everyone?"

She knew she was gambling, betting on whether Erica would help her once more.

Fortunately, her gamble paid off.

Erica calmly walked up to the podium, taking the magic book from Henie's hand, which clearly recorded the magical principles of [Star Shatter].

The level of detail was such that she barely needed to think, only needing to conceptualize the magic array path to easily release it.

She raised one hand, attempting to use this spell for the first ti.

"[Star Shatter]!"

A mysterious ripple stirred up waves.

In the air, brilliant morning stars appeared one after another.

Like a painting, they ford the patterns of a magic array.

Just as it was about to take shape, it abruptly disappeared into thin air.

Just as many students were puzzled.

Tut-tut-tut!

Suddenly, from an unknown ti and direction.

Countless tiny spikes, as if instantly generated, all pinned themselves to the wooden dummy in the classroom.

Seeing the training dummy riddled with holes from the shattered stars, the students' hearts skipped a beat in unison.

What a treacherous attack spell!

But with Erica's demonstration process, they learned much faster.

"So that's how it works!"

They began to discuss excitedly, not even realizing that Erica's silencing spell had long since worn off.

Henie also breathed a sigh of relief, exchanging a smile with Erica as their eyes t.

The class ended quickly in a focused yet relaxed atmosphere. As the bell rang, none of the students showed any dissatisfaction.

This class had once again proved imnsely beneficial to them.

At the sa ti, they developed a considerable amount of admiration for Henie.

As expected of Professor Viktor's assistant, even ordinary lecturers might not teach as well as her!

"Professor Viktor's assistant is also so excellent!"

"Yes, indeed!"

Henie walked up to Erica, wanting to properly thank this girl who was willing to stand up for her in class.

"Thank you, Erica."

"If it weren't for you, I would have surely embarrassed myself in this class."

Erica smiled at her privately and waved her hand, continuing:

"It was nothing."

Henie whispered softly in Erica's ear: "I really don't know why the professor insisted on having teach, when it's clearly his own job."

Hearing this, Erica also felt sowhat puzzled.

But curiosity alone couldn't solve the problem.

Erica had originally planned to go to Viktor's office to ask about today's questions, and seeing the situation, the two decided to go together to get so clarity.

anwhile, Viktor sat at his desk in the office, sipping coffee while flipping through a magic book.

As soon as he saw that Henie had adapted, he had secretly co back to slack off.

The leisure ti in the twilight, mixed with the sound of pages turning.

It was quite pleasant.

But peaceful monts are always fleeting.

With the reminder from the Mage Tower, he granted Henie and Erica permission to teleport.

As the residual light of the teleportation magic gradually faded.

The next second, these two young and beautiful girls appeared before him.

"Professor..."

Henie's voice was still so timid, as if he might inadvertently eat her at any mont.

The sound of pages turning didn't stop. Viktor didn't look up, casually ntioning as if in idle chat:

"Today's class went well."

"How did it feel?"

Henie stroked her chest, hurriedly taking a few breaths of relief.

"Thanks to Erica, it went smoothly."

"If there's a next ti, I definitely won't be so scared."

Erica, who was feeding Vega, turned her head and returned an eye signal to Henie.

Only then did Henie rember her purpose for coming. She wasn't here to seek Viktor's praise.

"Professor, why did you want to teach this class for you?"

Snap.

Viktor closed the book, placing the exquisite bound volu on the table. He looked at Henie, responding as calmly as ever.

"I need to go on a trip, and it will take so ti to return."

Hearing this, Henie didn't think much of it.

But Erica, who was feeding Vega, trembled slightly, spilling bird food on the table.

'Hey, little girl, if you're going to feed , do it properly!'

Vega protested dissatisfied, but Erica certainly couldn't hear it.

She ignored Vega's chirping and pricked up her ears to listen carefully.

"So I wanted to test if you have the ability to be a teacher for our class."

Henie froze on the spot.

"Professor, you... were testing ?"

Viktor gave an 'mm' and returned a faint smile to her.

Even though the upward curve of his lips was barely noticeable.

"Well done, I believe you can definitely beco an excellent lecturer."

"Professor, wuu... wuwuwu!"

Seemingly receiving unexpected recognition, Henie finally couldn't hold back her emotions and burst into tears.

But Erica was still in a daze.

Eh? What? Viktor is leaving? How long until he cos back?

Sohow, hearing that Viktor was going on a long trip, Erica felt a bit lost.

In this twilight after class, she could learn so much knowledge from Viktor.

But if Viktor left.

It seed she would have no reason to co here anymore.

Although Viktor wasn't really leaving, just going away for a few days, her mood was still sowhat low.

However, another voice echoed in her mind.

'Great, this jerk is leaving!'

"It's good that he's gone, if I don't see him, I won't be annoyed!"

She quickly adjusted her emotions and shrugged.

Even without Viktor's education, she was still that genius mage.

"Oh, right."

Viktor turned his head and looked at Erica.

"What questions did you bring today?"

"Hurry up and ask, once I finish teaching you, I can clock out."

"..."

He even rembered that she would co to ask questions.

As if with a 'crack', the psychological barrier Erica had just built up developed a fissure.

She lowered her head and walked towards Viktor with the questions she had prepared long ago.

But for so reason.

She seed to beco a bit absent-minded.

.......

In the evening, Lia walked into Viktor's study.

"The shop renovation is complete."

These days, Lia has been handling shop matters in the royal capital.

So recently, she hadn't returned to the estate, but was staying here directly.

However, she already had her own room here.

Viktor closed his book, wanting to discuss the price issue with Lia.

Lia said to him: "One thousand Geo."

This price, for consumables sold in the royal capital, was not cheap, but very reasonable.

This potion was definitely worth this price.

If they could sell fifty bottles a day, it would directly bring in fifty thousand Geo.

The cost was just one fruit, though uncommon, at most ten Geo.

This was truly a high-profit business.

Viktor nodded, this price was also within his expectations.

Any more expensive wouldn't be worth it, any cheaper wouldn't match its miraculous effect.

"Oh, rember to limit it to two bottles per person per day."

"Why?"

Lia was a bit puzzled. This magic potion was already expensive to sell, and it was questionable whether anyone would buy it at first. Why limit the quantity?

Wasn't he afraid the stock would pile up unsold?

Viktor gave his explanation:

"It's better to earn less money in the early stages, but spread the effect of this potion."

"Later on, the more people who know about it, the more we'll earn."

Listening to his explanation, Lia's beautiful eyes sparkled with admiration, marveling.

"I now feel that you're more like a rchant than I am."

It was as if she was getting to know Viktor for the first ti in these ten-plus years.

She yawned, seemingly rembering sothing, and casually asked.

"Oh right, are you really going with Gwen to that... What volcano?"

"Mm." Viktor nodded.

"Alright then."

Lia muttered, waving her hand.

"Don't die out there, so I don't have to spend money to collect your corpse."

"I'm going to bed."

With that, she patted her cheeks and turned to leave Viktor's study.

Seeing Lia leave, Vega raised its head, its eyes regaining a humanized light.

"Your sister, is she worried about you?"

"I thought your relationship wasn't good."

"Indeed, it wasn't good, but it has improved in recent days," Viktor tapped the table, a blue potion appeared in his palm which he began to fiddle with.

"Why, how did you manage that?" Vega asked curiously.

Victor placed the blue potion on the table and explained with a single sentence.

"Because I can make money."
