My dear witch, please turn evil according to the script!

Chapter 154 Interference of Mind and Matter
If the gods could give Ilúvia another chance, she certainly wouldn't choose to run over directly, but would stand still and call out to Roland.

That way she won't fall to the ground.

Somewhat embarrassed, Iluvia awkwardly grasped Roland's outstretched hand, then stood up without a word.

Having successfully escaped the clutches of evil, Nash jumped into Kalia's arms, then looked very aggrieved in her embrace.

Then she whispered in Kalia's ear, sobbing as she recounted her harrowing experiences over the past few hours.

However, Kalia simply ignored the cat.

She simply looked calmly at Roland, who was concerned about whether Iluvia had hurt herself.

At the same time, she started thinking, "Why don't I fall down too?"
Tch, what a scheming and wicked woman.

After repeatedly assuring everyone that she was alright, Iluvia suggested, "Why don't you... stay at the palace tonight? There are quite a few rooms here."

"I can have someone tidy it up for you. After all, it's getting late, and it will be too late to go back to the academy."

"Don't we have to catch the earliest magic train tomorrow?"

Roland nodded; he had no objections.

Moreover, staying in the palace is a novel experience, and it's not a bad idea to give it a try.

Just ...

"I have no objection."

Kalia smiled and tilted her head at Roland: "I don't think Nash would have any objections either."

"You agree, right, Nash~~~"

"Yes, I have no objection!"

Under Kalia's intense gaze, Nash was forced to remain silent.

"Then let's tell Cellina." After seeing that Kalia had no objections, Roland also used a communication spell to contact Cellina.

Cellina, who was still lost in thought in the abandoned bar, was somewhat surprised when Roland took the initiative to contact her.

"What...why is this guy contacting me so late at night?"

"Could it be that we've encountered danger?"

"Can you really encounter danger in the royal palace...?"

Somewhat suspicious, Cellina connected with Roland's communication magic.

After the communication was established, Roland saw the environment where Cellina was located.

"What are you doing here?"

"No need for you to worry. Is there anything I can help you with?" Cellina took a sip of the strong liquor beside her and then asked.

"It's nothing serious. We'll be staying at the palace tonight and won't be going back to the academy. You can sleep in Kalia's bed; I don't think she'll mind."

"Of course, if you want to come to the palace, Iluvia shouldn't mind arranging another room for you."

After hearing Roland's words, Cellina smiled and said, "Just to tell me this?"

"Otherwise, since none of us are going back, we should at least let you know we're leaving you out here, right?"

"Really... Is it appropriate for you to care so much about an outsider like me? Won't your two girlfriends be jealous?"

Cellina's face, flushed slightly from the alcohol, revealed a faint smile at this moment.

“Hey, Nina, I’ve never considered you an outsider!” Kalia’s head suddenly popped into the frame: “I don’t think Roland has ever treated you like an outsider either.”

"……Yeah?"

"Of course! Nash, don't you think?"

As she spoke, Kalia shook the cat in her hand.

Nash then showed a somewhat reluctant expression before nodding.

Cellina paused for a moment, then nodded after a long pause: "I understand. I won't go to the palace. But I won't be polite and will take your bed, Kalia."

"no problem."

Roland then looked at Cellina and said, "Let's stop here for now."

"See you at the Magic Train Station tomorrow morning. Get some rest tonight."

After saying that, Roland closed the communication.

Even after the communication ended, Cellina remained staring blankly at the spot where the communication magic had once been.

She glanced at the drinks beside her and suddenly realized she didn't need them to drown her sorrows.

She silently got up, then turned and walked towards the location of the Royal Capital Magic Academy.

Meanwhile, accompanied by court attendants, Roland arrived at the room where he would be staying that night.

To be honest, it truly lived up to its reputation as a room in the palace. The luxurious furnishings and the large bed big enough for five or six people to lie down made Roland sigh with admiration.

"Your Majesty, if you wish, you may ring the bell by the window."

After leaving those words, the attendant bowed respectfully and then left the room.

Roland, who wasn't sleepy yet, walked to the chair by the floor-to-ceiling window in the room and sat down, then looked at the system panel.

[Host: Roland]

[Unallocated experience points: 60000; Unallocated skill points: 0]

Looking at his panel, Roland was surprised to find that he had an unexpectedly large number of spells and skills.

It was much more than he had imagined.

In recent battles, Roland has basically relied on spell interference, spell counters, and the Sword of Silence to fight.

Alternatively, you could add the skill of two Primal Runestones.

Many of my skills seem to have become a bit rusty since I haven't used them in a while.

"Why isn't the task settlement complete yet?" "Is this all the reward is supposed to be?"

Just as Roland was muttering his complaints, the system notification finally sounded.

[Ding, the series of tasks has been completed.]

[Series Quest - The Fall of the Eternal Silence Capital is Completed, Quest Rating: SS]

[The host has successfully completed all tasks, uncovered the cause of death of the legendary mage Flam, killed the mad bishop Slo, and saved the decaying witch Iluvia and the capital from endless rage.]

[Furthermore, the host has altered the Eternal Night Witch's perspective on the world to some extent, delaying the world's destruction somewhat.]

[Congratulations, host, on breaking through to the highest rating! You have obtained a special badge: Lawbreaker.]

[Badge Effect: Wearing the badge greatly increases the host's speed in analyzing spells and curses.]

[Task settlement rewards are now being distributed]

[Congratulations, host, you have gained 30000 experience points and 10 skill points.]

[Congratulations, host, you have acquired the innate spell: Mental-Matter Interference]

[Congratulations, host, you have obtained: Cognitive Impairment Mask]

[Congratulations, host, you have obtained: Anti-cognitive interference ring]

[The system detected that the Witch of Decay, Iluvia, and the Witch of Eternal Night, Kalia, have feelings for the host. Congratulations, host, you have obtained the special achievement title—Heavy Love.]

[Heavy Love: Effects unknown; it may have unexpected effects in specific situations.]

More ardent than hope, more profound than despair... this is love.

Listening to the continuous system notifications, Roland felt the wait was worthwhile.

Although he received an additional title with unclear meaning and purpose, Roland himself was quite satisfied with the reward overall.

Especially that innate spell.

"A witch's exclusive talent spell... I can actually obtain it in this way?"

"However, mental-matter interference... what are the effects of this technique?"

This spell, which sounded and looked rather cryptic, left Roland somewhat bewildered.

The system didn't offer any explanation.

But Roland did feel that his mental strength had suddenly increased.

Putting everything else aside, he suddenly became much more awake and energetic late at night.

Feeling a bit thirsty, Roland picked up the water bottle on the table and poured himself some water to quench his thirst.

But in an instant, the kettle flew to Roland's side.

Roland fell into a brief silence at what he was witnessing.

After considering the possibilities, Roland began to experiment with his innate spells.

Ten minutes later, Roland confirmed what exactly this talent spell called Mental Matter Interference was.

It's so simple that its function can be summarized in just two words.

Telekinesis.

Although Roland could sense that this innate spell was far from simple.

After all, even a genuine witch needs to develop and learn how to use her innate magical talents, let alone herself.

But as things stand, telekinesis is indeed the best description of this innate spell.

Clearly, compared to Kalia's shadow magic and the "Eternal Night" power that could destroy the world, as well as Iluvia's decay, Roland's innate magic was completely devoid of any fancy or flashy elements.

Emphasizing practicality above all else.

But if he could, he would still prefer something more flashy.

After all, strength is only temporary; appearance is the key.

Well, it seems the talent spells I had placed so much hope in are not worth watching.

Let's take a look at this cognitive impairment mask and anti-cognitive interference ring.

Although their functions are clearly stated in their names.

The mask's effect is simple: it prevents others from recognizing Roland when he wears it.

After putting on the mask, Roland's physique and even his magical aura will change on a cognitive level.

Unless the other party possesses something like an anti-cognitive interference ring, or takes prior precautions, this effect will definitely be effective.

At least that's how the system is written.

The effect was very strong, but Roland couldn't figure out what use it was.

And putting everything else aside, this thing looks pretty ordinary.

It was just a completely black mask.

The ring is quite nice.

Putting aside other factors, the cognitive impact alone can be quite significant, and it's easy to fall victim to such practices if one isn't careful.

Having a preventative measure is also a good idea.

but……

"Is that all the reward?!"

That's right. Although it looks like a lot, Roland can't use many of them right now, and the things that can quickly enhance Roland's combat power are useless.

Although his innate magic is good and powerful, Roland's psychic power is not yet strong enough to defy fate.

At most, it just gives you more ways to attack and scheme.

After all, telekinesis is a skill with a very wide range of potential, regardless of the work it's in.

Roland was somewhat speechless. The system had been dragging its feet for so long, but hadn't given any significant reward yet...

This left Roland, who had initially been somewhat hopeful, speechless.

"Never mind, let's go to sleep."

Feeling agitated, Roland jumped onto the big bed, pulled up the covers, and went straight to sleep.

Let these worries disappear into your dreams.
