Chapter 40: No Grudge? Then Let’s Make One Now

"Henie? It really is you!"

"What are you doing here?"

Erica was delighted, not expecting to encounter a familiar face on the academy's back mountain.

However, she was also curious about what Henie was doing on this deserted mountaintop.

Seeing Erica, Henie's previously cold demeanor instantly dissipated by half. Her gaze became somewhat evasive, and her response was a bit hesitant.

"Nothing... I'm just here for a walk."

Erica didn't know about Henie's dismissal, and Henie didn't plan to tell her. She didn't want to worry her.

However, Erica's appearance did make her feel a bit surprised, so she asked:

"Why are you here too?"

"Why haven't you been coming to the academy?"

Hearing Henie's questions, Erica suddenly explained with puffed cheeks:

"Father, I don't know what got into him, when he came back, he grounded me for several days."

"Yesterday was even worse, he suddenly decided to hire several private tutors for me."

In fact, Duke Levi had also warned Erica to have less contact with Viktor, which is why Erica learned from Duke Levi that Viktor had returned.

Under the royal family's judgment, both were found innocent.

But she couldn't tell Henie these things.

So, Erica, feeling a bit upset, kicked a pebble on the mountaintop. The pebble rolled down the cliff, making a crisp sound.

"I really couldn't stand it today, so I snuck out while father wasn't home. I just wanted to come to school to see if Professor Viktor was here."

Erica had planned to sneak into the academy from the back mountain, but unexpectedly met Henie.

Hearing Viktor's name, Henie's heart trembled.

She remembered what Professor Devin had said.

'Professor Viktor might have died in the volcano.'

Henie thought this to herself but didn't tell Erica.

Erica seemed to not know about this yet, and she decided to keep it hidden.

Watching Erica continuously breathing in the fresh air at the mountaintop, Henie calmly said:

"Professor Viktor hasn't returned yet. I've been helping to substitute for his classes these past few days."

Hearing this, Erica immediately felt a bit disappointed.

She really wanted to know from Viktor what exactly happened at the volcano that day.

But after sneaking out with such difficulty, Viktor wasn't even at work.

Helpless, Erica could only accept reality.

"Alright then, I'll head back first."

"If father finds out I snuck out, he'll definitely keep me locked up at home again and not let me out."

Henie was about to say something when she saw Erica hesitate for a moment and continue:

"I'll come again tomorrow. If Professor Viktor returns, remember to tell me."

Henie nodded, agreeing to it.

She saw Erica very happy, her eyes full of anticipation, as she hurriedly turned to leave.

'How nice, she...'

Henie's eyes were full of envy.

She envied Erica.

She had a prestigious family background, amazing talent, and perfect looks.

She could be carefree and full of expectations for life.

And herself?

Always on edge, living through each hopeless day.

It really seemed just as that professor had said.

'Trash, only fit to stay in the trash heap.'

In her daze, she looked again in the direction Erica had gone, but could no longer see her dazzling silhouette.

Henie shook her head, as if laughing bitterly at her own misery.

Tomorrow, huh.

That's fine.

She no longer needed to look forward to the future.

Everything, including herself,

It Will come to an end tomorrow.

"Let's continue."

........

A ball of intense flame suddenly ignited from the bottom of Professor Devin's feet, instantly sending a violent burning sensation through his soles, waking him up.

Professor Devin felt a burning pain all over his body.

"Ah!"

He instantly woke up, the pain making him scream out loud.

Then, he clearly realized that he had been tied up, his body swaying as he hung from the ceiling.

The flames dissipated, widening Professor Devin's field of vision considerably.

The first thing he saw was Viktor sitting in a chair, with a cold expression.

Instantly, fear crept into Devin's eyes.

"Viktor! What exactly do you want to do?"

"You want to kill me for an assistant? Are you crazy?!"

"Do you really want to make enemies with my Reiser family?!"

Viktor sat in the chair, coldly looking at him, and asked faintly:

"Haven't we already been enemies?"

Devin's voice faltered, and he hurriedly said, "No... we weren't before. Believe me, Viktor, there's no enmity between us."

"Then, knowing that Henie was my person, why did you do that?"

Devin's eyes widened.

"You... already know everything?"

"No! Believe me, Viktor, at first I just didn't like you, but I didn't mean to take it out on that... He-whatever..."

Boom!

Like a fierce tiger, a fireball came flying towards him, hitting the wall behind Devin.

Devin was scared trembling all over, and hurriedly said:

"Henie! I remember now! It's Henie! That little girl is very cute, right!"

"I was jealous! I was jealous that she, as an assistant, could teach Class One. You know, after you left, many professors were envious of that class. Leading Class One as a lecturer comes with high treatment and reputation."

Viktor looked at him with no emotion in his eyes.

"Just because of jealousy?"

"How ugly."

"Yes! Yes! I'm ugly, I'm very ugly! I know it, I know it! Please, Viktor, let me go, there's no enmity between us!"

Devin was like a fat pig struggling desperately in a slaughterhouse, his comical appearance would make anyone who saw it laugh.

He kept saying, as if making a promise:

"I'll apologize! I'll apologize to that little girl!"

"I can give her a lot of compensation! I can let her get a noble title! A young baroness, how about that? Our Reiser family has that ability!"

"Believe me, Viktor, if you let me go, there's no irreconcilable deep hatred between us... right?"

An expression of great expectation appeared on Devin's ugly face.

Viktor's cold voice rang out:

"What did you say at the beginning?"

Devin was stunned, tremblingly trying to say:

"Killing me for an assistant, are you crazy?"

Viktor nodded approvingly.

"Good memory, and the second sentence?"

"...Do you really want to make enemies with our Reiser family?"

Devin wasn't stupid, he seemed to realize something.

At this moment, he completely abandoned his identity, frantically begging Viktor.

"No! Viktor! That was just me losing my head for a moment!"

Viktor stood up, his coat flashing with a dangerous red light.

"You dislike me because you understand me."

"Since you understand me, you should always remember what kind of person Viktor Kravina is."

Devin's whole body began to tremble, he started to be afraid.

Madman! Viktor, he's just a madman!

"Viktor! Don't... don't..."

Boom!

A scream like a pig being slaughtered suddenly burst from Devin's mouth, accompanied by the sound of bones breaking.

He felt all his limbs shatter, in excruciating pain.

He was still conscious because Viktor had put several magical shackles on his consciousness, preventing him from fainting despite the pain.

"You said there was no enmity between us, that's fine."

Viktor suddenly smiled, smiling very brightly.

He leaned close to Devin's ear, his voice very soft, like a demon's whisper.

"Now, we are enemies."

"Kill me! Viktor! Kill me!"

Devin was in unbearable pain, he would rather die right now than stay conscious under such pain and humiliation.

But now, he couldn't even commit suicide.

"Perhaps someone will take your life, but that person won't be me."

Viktor wiped his hands hard with a white handkerchief, even though he hadn't touched the other at all, he still felt his hands had been dirtied a lot.

After wiping, he threw the handkerchief on Devin's face, covering that face streaked with mucus.

Removing Devin's shackles, he instantly fainted.

Now, the world was quiet.

Viktor narrowed his eyes and left the mage tower.

With a teleportation spell, Viktor appeared outside the academy, looking at the sky that was almost dark, taking a deep breath.

The surrounding magical elements seemed a bit chaotic.

At this time, Vega's voice sounded in Viktor's ear.

"Under the academy, someone deliberately hid an array."

"Perhaps it was done by a demon."

Viktor wasn't surprised at all, so Vega said no more.

It knew Viktor would handle everything well. It opened its beak and asked another question.

"If that girl's consciousness was really corrupted by a demon, what would you do?"

Viktor thought for two seconds, then answered:

"Henie is a very smart assistant, I feel at ease having her work for me."

"She's a weak kid, but she shouldn't continue to be pitiful anymore."

Vega stood on Viktor's shoulder, shaking its feathers.

"I like your way of putting it."

......

The night fell like a curtain, hurriedly dropping, and countless small but bright jewels climbed up the night sky.

By the time Erica returned to the mansion gate, the house was already brightly lit.

Her heart sank, wondering if her dear old father had already returned.

"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, as long as I try hard to act cute, father will definitely forgive me."

Erica took a deep breath, just about to enter the courtyard.

But suddenly the main gate opened.

Her father, Duke Levi, was escorting a beautiful woman with purple hair out, his face bearing a smile, very courteous.

"Hmm???"

Erica was a bit dumbfounded.

Her father was already sixty years old, where did he meet this strange woman?

Planning to start a second spring?

Erica puffed up her cheeks, she absolutely wouldn't allow such a thing to happen.

She didn't want to suddenly have a stepmother for no reason.

Erica was about to rush over when she heard the conversation between the two.

"I hope Duke Levi will pay more attention to those 'dirty things'."

"I understand the seriousness of this matter, Miss Kevla. I will use all the resources at my disposal to investigate."

Erica was a bit confused, suddenly standing still.

It seemed the situation was a bit different from what she had imagined?

But her sudden rush out had already attracted the attention of the two.

Duke Levi looked at Erica, raising an eyebrow, with a somewhat forced smile, and introduced:

"Miss Kevla, this is my little daughter Erica, I believe it's your first time meeting her."

Kevla looked at Erica, her beautiful eyebrows raised, narrowing her enchanting eyes.

"Yes, indeed it's the first time we've met, but..."

Her lips curled up, and in the next second, she had already appeared in front of Erica.

Her speed was so fast that Erica couldn't catch even a glimpse of her movement.

"Pretty little girl, can you tell me, where did you go today?"
