“......”

For a moment, the eyes of everyone at the round table in the council hall were all focused on Willett.

In fact, the vast majority of the residents at the top have this doubt-

The news that Villeette Edward had been diagnosed with the loss of mana was well known among young wizards. They've all heard it. No one would doubt the correctness of this judgment by the master healers of the Evelyn School, and it has not been heard of since that her body has been cured.

Originally, although this matter would have been in a state of flux for a while, it would have been regarded as a topic of conversation, but according to past practice, the person of Villete Edward would soon be forgotten and finally completely disappeared from people's sight.

In the past, Willet's outstanding beauty and talent, and her beautiful victory in the much-anticipated duel, were in full swing, and a considerable number of young people would feel sorry for what happened to her; However, similar things are not uncommon in the history of the Magic Tower.

The reality is always ruthless, and Willett has lost his identity as a wizard and has been abandoned by the Grimm School, so it can be said that there is no future and no hope of a comeback.

But what happened after that was what shocked everyone:

After that, Villelet did not fall into the depths, but reached a new peak in her life: she was still lying in a hospital bed at that time, and was taken by Lord Rasputin, who had never been an apprentice, and not only took the initiative to invite her to join the school, but also promoted her to her chief student and assistant in a very short time.

Everyone was incredible, everyone was curious, everyone was speculating about what kind of secret this lucky girl was hiding.

And Reed Joyce's reason for pointing the finger at her is simple: it's temptation.

"If I'm not mistaken, Miss Edward, you shouldn't be able to cast spells right now, can you?"

“...... You're right. ”

Villette blinked, and replied slowly. She didn't want to speak, but the witch noticed that her friend was also looking at her with a mixture of curiosity and inquiry.

She sighed slightly.

It's one thing not to want to have a dispute with this group of people, but then you have to participate in the spring hunt with them, and if the relationship is too stiff, it will only cause trouble.

Willett was not the kind of person who would take the eyes of others to heart, but unexpectedly, the teacher made such an embarrassing request to herself..... She can only take it seriously.

"In that case, how do you protect yourself?"

"I have my own way."

"Such a perfunctory answer is not satisfactory, Miss Edward."

Reed faded from his polite pretense, a mocking sneer on his lips.

"In case you accidentally get into danger at that time, don't we have to waste time and divert our attention to save you?"

"You can choose to turn a blind eye, Reed."

"That's not good, I can't do it to my companion's death. Why don't you do this—"

Reed knew very well that the reason why the rest of the people did not speak was partly out of face and partly out of ...... She, like them, was the chief student, a student of Lord Rasputin. The fact that he dispelled the legendary curse with his gestures is still fresh in people's minds.

There was no way that the big man would have chosen a wasted man to be his heir for no reason.

Even if the other party is really willing to admit it, they will not dare to believe it.

"If you can't reassure us, I hope you can consider everyone's feelings and take the initiative to withdraw from this spring hunt; Or ......"

Reed Joyce hooked her hand, a gesture that ruffians would only use to provoke others.

"How about playing with me? Yes, there is. ”

He showed his hostility unreservedly and nakedly.

......

The atmosphere in the room froze, like a night before a storm.

Silky's fists clenched quietly under the table, looking at her friend slightly nervously.

In the process of the conversation between the two, no one spoke, and everyone seemed to be expecting something-

The corners of Reed Joyce's mouth lifted. He enjoys the feeling of being in the spotlight and is one of those who are looking forward to it.

Villelet didn't answer right away this time.

She raised her eyes and took a serious look at the peer not far away for a moment. After a while, she replied softly.

"There's no need. I don't need to prove anything to you. ”

The witch stood up from the table and prepared to turn away.

"You don't have any other questions, do you? Then, it's time for this boring meeting to end. If you want to get to know a stranger, learn to start with the basics of kindness. We'll see you on the day of the spring hunting festival. ”

Shi Kodi breathed a sigh of relief, and immediately stood up and spoke.

"I'll send you back."

......

This came to an end, leaving Reed Joyce stunned.

This was not what he had imagined to unfold......

The other party is not angry at all?

He had dealt with Verlittle a few times, and knew that she was a very serious character, and that she had not been accustomed to what she had done in the past, and often had arguments; Not to mention that she has now become the chief student as she wished, isn't her self-esteem even higher? Why did you choose to hold back? Is it unwilling to expose your strength?

"Could it be that I guessed wrong......? Did Rasputin really choose a waster? Is he old and faint or is he blind......"

Reed couldn't help but mumble to himself.

His voice was very soft. It's really light, so light that it looks like a needle falling to the ground.

…… Sadly, however, Willet heard it.

The witch, who had already walked to the gate, suddenly stopped and turned around.

The blonde hair fluttered behind her, windless, and spontaneously. Villeette stared at the young man, her voice hoarse because of the deliberately low voice.

"It seems that Lady Rorel has not taught you how to learn to be respectful of a leader...... Even when he is not there, he is not allowed to speculate behind his back. ”

Her eyes were as indifferent as her voice; Immediately after, in the pair of indifferent pupils, the brilliant gold flowing like lava began to burn.

*

Reed Joyce's eyes widened.

At first, he didn't feel anything. Because at the moment of staring at Villeret, his whole body was like being shackled, so heavy that he could not move;

But soon, the fiery pain, which seemed to be scorching the soul, swept over him like a surging wave, engulfing him completely.

He couldn't help but let out a high-pitched scream.

The young man's face was distorted, and he looked at his arm in disbelief, but at some point it began to be wrapped in flames, and the tongue of fire licked his flesh wantonly, spreading little by little to the meridians and bone marrow......

He's spontaneously combusting!
