Chapter 6. Young lady, you've caused trouble.
Seeing Hennie working so hard for him, Victor couldn't help but walk forward.
When Hennie saw a figure gradually approaching her, she raised her head warily.
"Professor Victor?"
After seeing who it was, she stood up in a panic and greeted him, pushing up the glasses on her nose.
After a long time, Victor broke his poker face and offered her a word of concern:
"Aren't you tired?"
He knew that Hennie's job was arranged by the school. But the other party's knowledge level was clearly capable of being a new teacher at the Royal Magic Academy.
Leaving such a capable person as his teaching assistant aside whether it would be exposed by society in the future, his own conscience couldn't bear it.
"Not tired at all!"
Hennie shook her head resolutely with a firm attitude.
"It's my honor to prepare lessons for the professor!"
A silly and somewhat lovely little girl.
If it were the former Victor, he would probably squeeze this little lamb until there was nothing left.
Squeeze until there is no more benefit at all, and then abandon her.
To put it bluntly, Victor is such a person.
If it's beneficial to him, he will hold on tightly.
In fact, with Veigar around, he didn't need a teaching assistant to help him prepare course content at all.
There were no outsiders around. Victor planned to let this silly little lamb go.
He considered his tone and tried his best to use Victor's indifferent tone and said faintly.
"You don't need to write speech manuscripts for me anymore."
Hearing this, Hennie was stunned. Her body swayed and she could barely even stand steadily.
She thought she had made a mistake in some link and it was so serious that Mr. Victor wanted to fire her.
"Professor, I can use more time to improve your speech manuscript..."
Tears unconsciously welled up in her eyes. Hennie's voice trembled as she begged Victor not to abandon her.
"Please don't abandon me. I will definitely be able to do the job of teaching assistant well!"
Victor frowned slightly. He didn't expect Hennie to have such a reaction. He just hoped that she could rest earlier and then give full play to her talents independently in the magic academy.
But she was full of thoughts hoping that Professor Victor would give her a chance to correct her mistakes and wanted to continue staying at the academy as his teaching assistant.
It was as if... she was about to lose her job.
Veigar flapped its wings and explained softly in his ear:
"Do you know why?"
"This child is just a magic apprentice and hasn't even stepped into the threshold of being a mage."
Only then did Victor suddenly understand. Looking at Hennie in front of him, he felt sorry for her talent.
If it were in the game, the level of magic apprentice is in the segment of 1-9 levels.
To put it bluntly, it's a novice.
The Royal Magic Academy never keeps idlers. To become a teacher here, the most basic requirement is to become a mage.
Then, the academy will consider from this mage's teaching ability.
No matter how outstanding Hennie's knowledge is—even capable of preparing lessons for the most talented class of students in the academy.
As long as she doesn't become a mage, then she doesn't have the qualification to become a teacher.
From Hennie's perspective, Victor understood how hurtful his words just now were.
Hennie is just a teaching assistant.
If even he doesn't need her anymore, then there will only be two endings waiting for Hennie.
Wait for the next professor's teaching assistant position to be vacant.
Leave the Royal Magic Academy and become unemployed.
After she is unemployed, no one will find fault with the academy. They will only think that it is her own deficiency that led to her being fired.
She is extremely knowledgeable and has dedicated her life to learning, but in the end, she can't even find a next place.
But Victor won't comfort her because he is a notoriously petty villain.
So he just dropped a sentence: "Well, I take back what I said before. Hennie, you did very well and didn't make any mistakes."
"I will continue to use you. Before you are completely broken."
"So before that, don't wear yourself out."
Hennie was very happy and nodded excitedly.
"Professor! I won't let you down!"
Victor was very curious. Why would a very capable Hennie be willing to be just a teaching assistant?
He also asked her this question.
Unexpectedly, Victor would ask about her own experience. Hennie was a little surprised. A glimmer of gloom flashed in her eyes, but she still answered calmly:
"I graduated from the Royal Magic Academy. But until graduation, I still didn't become a first-rank mage. So I stayed at the academy and voluntarily became a teaching assistant."
The rest of the story is very clear.
Other professors naturally have their favorite teaching assistants by their side. But she has ability but no talent, so naturally she doesn't catch others' eyes.
It wasn't until the academy recruited a new professor, that is, Victor, that she had the opportunity to work beside this notorious talented mage.
After hearing her explanation, Victor nodded and patted her on the shoulder:
"Do a good job. Since the academy allows you to stay here, it will definitely not treat you unfairly."
"I'm new here. Can you show me around the academy?"
Hearing his request, Hennie hurriedly agreed and quickly tidied up the things on the table.
"I just came to the school and haven't had a chance to look around much. Take this opportunity to have a good look."
Victor said this on his lips, but he knew very well in his heart.
In the game, he didn't know how many times he had been here. Even he knew clearly that there was a secret garden in the backyard of the dean's office.
Saying this was just to prevent the other party from writing too tiredly.
Especially writing lessons for him in front of him would make him feel a sense of immorality.
Obviously it's his own job, but it needs others to help completely.
Of course, in addition to feeling immoral, it's also very comfortable.
Who doesn't like to slack off?
Hennie led him to explore the entire academy, tirelessly introducing various buildings to him.
Garden, lawn, training ground.
Victor nodded one by one to respond, although this was already a place as familiar to him as his own backyard.
When he came to the Arcane Pavilion, he stopped.
This is a place where players can have PvP battles and also practice magic proficiency.
But at this moment, there was a noisy sound coming from inside, like a quarrel among students.
Victor frowned. Suddenly he understood the school director who liked to search one noisy class after another in the corridor during his school days.
Naughty children need to be managed. Naughty students need to be managed even more.
So he pushed the door and entered.
...
Elika's mood was extremely bad.
Wanting to teach Victor a lesson, but instead being taught a lesson by the other party. Not to mention that even her beloved hairpin was gone.
That was a gift left to her by her mother and was sent by her into the gap of the teleportation array.
To find the hairpin, Elika specifically came to the Arcane Pavilion to practice teleportation magic, trying to crack the tricks Victor had done on her teleportation array.
But obviously, she couldn't do it.
After the explosion of the array again and again, she grabbed her golden hair like she was on the verge of collapse.
"So annoying. Why did it fail again!"
As Elika kept trying, she became more and more impatient. So, she made a big mistake.
During the practice, she didn't cancel her teleportation magic. And the position of the teleportation gate also fell in the middle of the Arcane Pavilion due to her negligence.
A student in school uniform just stepped into her array.
The array operated automatically. A special red light shone...
Whoosh~!
After a strong red light, that student disappeared!
Elika saw with her own eyes that student disappear in her array.
"Jack? Jack!?"
"Damn it. He was teleported away!"
The several young men and women accompanying her all changed their expressions greatly.
And a glimmer of panic flashed in Elika's eyes. She had made a big mistake!
"Oh no! He was teleported to another dimension!?"
She anxiously operated magic and began to try to find that unlucky guy.
But no matter how she communicated, the teleportation array didn't respond at all!
That unlucky student, just like her unlucky hairpin, couldn't be found back.
At this moment, everyone noticed Elika who was in a panic and constantly operating magic.
The teleportation array in the middle was from the same source as her magic element.
And today, it was just revealed that Elika had already learned teleportation magic.
At this moment, the students in the Arcane Pavilion were all furious!
"Elika Du Croix!"
"It was you! You teleported Jack away!"
"You did it on purpose!"
The students in the academy are divided into two factions. One is the noble faction and the other is the commoner faction.
The noble faction and the commoner faction have always been at odds. In their eyes, these guys who enter school through exams will often be the dogs working under their families in the future.
There are inevitable quarrels between the commoner faction and the noble faction. Fortunately, this is the Royal Magic Academy. Strength is everything.
So although there are conflicts between the two sides, they won't easily erupt.
But now, in the eyes of these commoner students, Elika Du Croix, the chief genius of the noble faction and the eldest lady of the duke's family, undoubtedly slapped them in the face publicly with her actions.
Noble families generally don't come to the Arcane Pavilion. After studying at the academy for a day, they often go back home and continue to be taught by private mages at home.
Only commoner students who are admitted here with mediocre grades will come to the Arcane Pavilion and persevere in practicing.
If the family background can't be surpassed, then they can only surpass the nobles on the path of being a mage.
But no one could have thought that, coincidentally, Elika who was in a bad mood wanted to try to find her hairpin.
So this big mistake was caused.
At this time, no one cared about the truth anymore. The commoner students just wanted an outlet to vent all the grievances they had suffered.
"Elika, you need to apologize for your actions!"
"Apologize! And bring Jack back!"
Elika stood there alone. Facing everyone's accusations, she couldn't defend herself and lowered her head without speaking.
She could only continue to try to teleport the lost student back.
But in the midst of the accusations of all the students, her mind became even more chaotic and she couldn't even calm down.
She could only respond angrily: "I can't do it!"
"That was my magic mistake. I don't know how to save him either!"
But this enraged the commoner students even more.
"You made our friend disappear, but you won't even say an apology?"
"The nobles are harmful. They finally show their fangs that can't coexist!"
"Your noble lives are lives. What about us? What do you take us for!"
Elika bit her lip and remained silent with her head down.
Her fist clenched slightly and a feeling of unwillingness welled up in her heart.
Victor! In what way am I inferior to you!
What you can do easily, I can do it too!
She understood that she shouldn't resent others. But when she saw Victor, she found that she couldn't do it.
Victor was stronger than her in every way, whether it was knowledge or his magic talent.
That was a talent that was praised by nobles up and down, even her family.
Once the seed of jealousy is planted in the heart, it's very difficult to pull it out again.
"Are you all very idle?"
Suddenly, a cold voice sounded at the door. The afterglow of the setting sun shone in, reflecting on Elika's extremely exquisite face, presenting a bloody glow.
Victor leaned against the door with a strange crow standing on his shoulder.
He put his hands in the pockets of his windbreaker, his eyes indifferent and looking down on everyone.
"If you want to write a self-criticism, then continue to quarrel in front of me."
