"Hernie!"

The moment she saw Hernie, Erica was pleasantly surprised.

She hadn't seen Professor Victor's little teaching assistant since the last college holiday.

I heard that Hernie is now an associate professor,

Erica was happy for a long time.

But she was also a little surprised.

Because Hernie directly crossed the lecturer level from teaching assistant to associate professor.

Although she has enough knowledge, does she have the corresponding strength?

Erica was a little worried.

Then, she saw Hernie staring at the contents of her spellbook and raised her hand.

The breath of magic slowly rose in her hand.

"It's a simple magic."

"It's like this."

Several curvy breaths emerged from Hernie's hand, circling in the air for a few laps before gradually converging.

Eventually, a heterochromatic and curved ring was formed, constantly rotating in the air.

The whole dimly lit room was lit up by the ring, and the blinding light made Erica even a little unable to open her eyes.

[Second-Order Magic: Three Arcs]

Erica looked at the arc of magic that appeared in Hernie's hand and was shocked.

This, this, isn't that right?

This magic, she studied it for a long time and didn't figure out the principle, but Hernie took two glances and released it?

Could it be that .... She actually learned it a long time ago?

At this moment, Hernie pinched her fingers, and the arc in the air shattered into three-colored starlight.

Starlight gently sprinkled on the floor, then faded away.

"As I said, just figure out how it works."

"In fact, it's the first time I've used this magic."

"Would you like to try?"

Erica blinked blankly.

From Hernie's words, she couldn't help but feel the gap between people.

Still, she tentatively raised her hand through Hernie's guidance.

The circle was gradually carved into a strong magical atmosphere.

Soon, a curved arc of different colors also spun in the air.

It worked!

Erica stayed where she was, not knowing what to say.

She served.

Hernie's knowledge convinced her.

It's not that Hernie has more knowledge than the old mages.

It's because Hernie has her own unique perspective on magic.

Through her teachings, magic will be easier to understand.

Erica has to admit that Hernie will definitely make a very good lecturer.

But as an associate professor's words......

Wait a minute?

This magic book is written about second-order magic.

But Hernie was unleashed?

Erica looked back at Hernie with a puzzled face:

"Hernie, you ......"

With a smile on her face, Hernie nodded to her:

"As you can see."

Second-Order Mage.

The college has only two months to go on vacation.

In two months, Hernie went from an ordinary person to a second-order mage.

What did she go through?

Erica couldn't understand.

She thought she was already improving.

But from this point of view, in fact, Hernie's talent is the most outrageous?

Erica came back to her senses and thought of Hernie's magic that could be understood at a glance.

It seems that the truth is really the same thing as she thinks.

Confused, shocked, confused.....

All kinds of emotions mixed together, like a wave, rushed towards Erica.

It wasn't until Erica reacted from her tumultuous emotions that she finally realized.

Wait, why did Herney come to her house and show up in her bedroom?

Since Henny is here, does that mean ......

The professor is here too!?

She couldn't help but feel a burst of surprise and surprise, and just wanted to get up, and planned to go downstairs to have a look.

As a result, Herney put her hand on her shoulder and shook her head at her.

"The professor is talking about something very important, so wait a minute."

Erica listened to Herney's persuasion and couldn't help but sit down again.

She looked at Hernie in a daze.

I always feel ...... Now Hernie, compared to before, seems to have changed a lot.

Obviously, before that, Hernie seemed to be a little teaching assistant who didn't know anything except studying.

The first time she took on the role of Professor Victor, she was even nervous.

Even...... She needs her to help too.

And now...... It's like it's not what it used to be.

She is like a big sister who has become very mature, and her words and deeds are appropriate.

There is also a very friendly tenderness, which makes people involuntarily want to rely on her and stick to her side.

"Hernie......

"Well, what's wrong?"

Hernie blinked her yellow eyes and looked at Erica earnestly.

Erica reacted and hurriedly waved her hand.

"Ah, it's okay, it's okay."

"I remember, I still have a few things that I don't know very well, can I ask you?"

Hernie just smiled lightly, and then said:

"Absolutely."

Erica turned to flip through the magic book, and Hernie was right behind her, looking at the question seriously.

"It's an uncommon compound spell where you need to ...... two elements and runes"

Erica didn't seem to be able to hear the voice in the back.

She stole a sneak glance at Heney's face.

It was as if I was in a trance.

She was no longer as timid as she used to be, and the change was so great that she almost didn't recognize it.

In just two months......

When will she be able to become so reliable like Hernie?

Erica didn't know.

She gradually came back to her senses and listened quietly to Henie's special make-up lesson.

The time to study always flies.

Even Erica herself didn't know how long it was, but finally, there was a soft knock at the door.

The servant stood outside the door and said to the two men:

"Miss Hernie, Count Victor is looking for you."

"The Earl said it was time to go home."

Hearing the voice, Erica was slightly stunned.

However, Hernie had already straightened up and said to Erica:

"If you have any questions, let's wait until school starts."

With that, Hernie waved her hand and turned to walk out the door.

The maid led Hernie out of the door, leaving Erica alone to blink.

"Huh? Yes? ”

What did the maid say just now?

Hernie, it's time to go home?

Which home?

She suddenly came back to her senses, as if she had learned something that shocked her immensely.

Professors Hernie and Victor...... Live together!?

She hurried to the window and poked her head downstairs.

After a while, a figure stepped out of the doorway.

It was her father, Levi.

And the man who followed him, wearing a black trench coat, was Victor.

Then, behind Professor Victor, the man was dressed in a very incongruous wide robe.

Obviously, that's Hernie.

Levi sent Victor and Hernie to the carriage at the door.

Erica watched as the two of them got into the carriage without horses.

Her brain was empty.

She didn't have the slightest intention of learning, as if she wanted to know something extremely important.

She hurriedly pushed open the door and ran downstairs.

......

In the carriage, Victor looked through the window at Rivi, who was already standing in the doorway.

"Then, please pay more attention to those 'believers' in the duke."

Levi nodded, and his tone was relaxed:

"Of course, they will appear in the Empire, and this is my relution."

"It's not too early, so I won't send you too far."

Victor nodded.

As if thinking of something, Victor asked:

"Besides, I don't seem to see a housekeeper in your house?"

Duke Levi blinked, as if he was a little puzzled, and couldn't help but respond:

"As you can see, we haven't had a housekeeper at home."

Victor was silent for a moment, then nodded.

"I see."

"Please go back and rest, Lord Duke."

As if he was pointing at something, his gaze crossed over to Levi and looked behind him.

"Don't worry your daughter too much."

Levi was stunned and turned his head away.

At the doorway of the mansion, Erica was standing.

She looked hurried, panting slightly, as if she had just run out.

Behind her, there were several servants, struggling to catch up with her.

"Miss, it's cold at night, but you should put on some clothes!"

Victor saw Erica and smiled faintly at her.

Subsequently, the curtains close automatically.

The wheels turned, crushing against the bluestone bricks.

Erica watched the carriage in a daze, and gradually left.

Levi walked over and draped his coat over Erica's body.

Erica looked up at her father.

Her expression was a little confused and a little helpless.

Levi looked at his daughter with a little distress in his eyes.

"That's why I told you from the beginning, Erica."

"Don't get too close to Victor."

There are too many girls with Victor.

Even Her Royal Highness the Princess.

Your Majesty, has always acquiesced to Victor's contact with her.

Even on the premise of knowing that Victor has a fiancée.

In such a contrast, Erica has no advantage at all.

Levi sighed.

In the same way, Victor is by no means the kind of person who plays with her feelings.

This time, Victor didn't come simply for the calamity.

His fiancée, Gwen Delin, has been in a coma for two days.

And the reason is the so-called 'believers'.

These guys have long been old friends of Levi.

Thinking of this, Levi's eyes narrowed, and a little anger rose in his heart.

'Cultists. ’

How many more of your accomplices I have to kill to make you understand. ’

'Empire, it's never something like you filth can come into. ’

……

In the carriage, Victor and Hernie sat opposite each other.

Hernie kept her head down, not daring to make eye contact with Victor.

No matter how far she grows, she will be extremely flustered when she is alone with Professor Victor.

Just smelling the professor's breath makes the body heat up slightly.

Would love to ...... Hug the professor tightly.

Integrate with the professor......

At this moment, the crow flapped its wings, and the fluttering sound brought Hernie's thoughts back.

As soon as she looked up, she saw Victor's gaze facing her.

Hernie blushed.

Thinking of the picture in my head, I didn't dare to look directly at the professor.

But then, Victor's voice rang out.

"I've taken a few days off lately, come out with me."

Hernie was slightly stunned, and before she could seem to react, she listened to Victor continue.

"I thought about it, I've really been a little snubbed about you lately."

Hearing Victor say this, Hernie's cheeks instantly turned a little red, and she hurriedly said.

"No...... No, no, no, I wouldn't think so, Professor! ”

"I know you're busy, so I never say anything...... Oh no, no, I don't dare to say...... No, it's not right......"

She became a little incoherent and tried to express herself, but she couldn't adjust it.

Until she was so anxious that she almost cried.

A hand, resting on Hernie's hair, touched it gently.

"Don't worry, I said, I'll always use yours."

"Before you're completely broken."

Hernie was slightly stunned, and the corners of her eyes were a little moist.

Victor's soft voice rang in her ears:

"So, think it's for me."

"Professor......

Hernie looked up, her eyes a little obsessive.

She held out her two hands and grabbed the palm that Victor had placed on top of her head.

I put it on my cheek.

It's like autumn waves being swept by the breeze, setting off waves called gentleness.

I will always be yours.

Forever, yours.

"Hmm!"
