Chapter 52 Born evil witch, I will...

Roland walked out of the gate of the Magic Academy.

The afternoon sun is still strong. Even in this increasingly cold early winter, you can still feel a lazy warmth while basking in the sunshine.

Roland stretched, then turned his head to look at Iluvia, who was leaning against the window by the wall with her hands behind her back.

"You didn't leave after all."

Iluvia looked at Roland and for the first time showed a self-deprecating smile in front of him: "So you knew I was eavesdropping and said that on purpose, right?"

"If it weren't for me, you wouldn't be seriously injured."

"Now go back and apologize to Master Tolan... That thing is very important to you, right?"

"Being his student is something many people wouldn't even dream of. Isn't it a pity for you to give up like this?"

Looking at Iluvia's red eyes, Roland smiled and said, "What are you talking about? We are teammates in the assessment, aren't we?"

"Though looking back now, choosing you as my teammate was probably the worst decision I've ever made in my life."

"But since I chose it myself, there's nothing to complain about."

“People should be responsible for their own choices.”

"Instead of blaming others when your own choices bring you frustration and misfortune."

“And I don’t feel like I’ve done anything wrong or that I’ve missed out on anything.”

"By the way, would you like some snacks?"

Roland said as he took out a raspberry biscuit from his pocket - he had picked it up from the cafeteria.

Iluvia stared at the biscuits in Roland's hand for a moment, then covered her mouth and laughed.

"Is this how you comfort girls?"

"Yeah, isn't that useful?"

Roland said as he walked towards Iluvia. Before Iluvia could react, Roland had already walked in front of her.

By the time Iluvia wanted to distance herself from Roland, it was too late.

Roland had already walked to her side.

"Look, nothing happened, right?" Roland shrugged. "I just can't figure it out."

"You've carried me on your back for an entire night, so why do you usually keep a distance from everyone?"

“You, you don’t understand…”

Since she was standing against the wall at the beginning, Iluvia didn't even have room to retreat.

Looking at Roland who was so close, Iluvia turned her head away, avoiding Roland's sight.

She asked quietly and somewhat uneasily, "You...really don't know the rumors about me in the capital?"

"I don't know, and I don't want to know."

"Then, then you really don't blame me? During the assessment..."

"I do care about that." Roland said seriously, not caring about Iluvia's reaction at all. "After all, without you, I would have a lot less trouble and could avoid a lot of danger."

"Hey! Shouldn't you just go with the flow and say it's not my fault?"

"I never speak against my conscience."

Roland's confident response rendered most of Iluvia's prepared rhetoric useless.

"...And you just had a falling out with Master Tolan because of me."

Iluvia muttered softly, folding her hands behind her back and fiddling with her fingers.

Roland laughed again: "Who said we had a falling out?"

Roland took out the Moon Spirit Marrow Fluid that was shaped like a glove and said, "Teacher, you're much more open-minded than you think."

"Have you called the teachers yet?... It seems I've been worrying too much."

Iluvia felt a little complicated.

Very complicated.

But she was also very surprised. After Roland finished speaking, the room immediately became quiet.

Then, two minutes later, Roland came out. I didn't hear anything else...

Could it be that the bug is broken?

Roland saw Iluvia's expression and realized that the time had come.

From his other pocket he pulled out a small, intact bug.

"You're wondering why there's no sound behind this thing, right?"

Iluvia: “…”

So embarrassing, what should I do if I get caught?
I had clearly thrown this thing onto Roland's clothes very carefully, but it was still discovered?
To be fair, this kind of specially treated eavesdropping device is difficult to detect without a certain amount of experience.

Roland himself didn't notice it.

At least he was unlikely to notice until he took off his coat.

But after Roland finished speaking, Tolland discovered the bug stuck to the hem of his clothes.

It was hidden very well, but it was still no better than the eyesight of an eighth-level warrior.

Although Tolan didn't say anything about what was going on in his mind afterwards, Roland had already guessed most of it.

It was impossible for this stubborn old man to let go of his prejudice against Iluvia so quickly.

It's not like in ordinary stories where the master has to give the disciple a test of ideology and morality before accepting him as a disciple.

If Tolan had been so blind that he hadn't discovered the eavesdropping device, then it would have been like what Iluvia said, and she would have fallen out with Tolan, and at least she would have definitely lost the benefits and the place as his disciple.

But he discovered it. After discovering the bug, he also sensed Iluvia eavesdropping outside the window.

So a very reasonable guess appeared in Tolan's mind.

The student who was born with magical technology and was highly regarded by him was being monitored and threatened by that abominable princess who was born with evil!
Damn it, he almost missed out on such a genius because of some small misunderstanding!
You are truly a born evil witch. If it weren't for your royal family, I would have killed you with my own hands!
The above is purely Roland's imagination.

But Roland felt that his guess was probably pretty close.

Because the other party quickly manipulated the large source of magic power flowing in the air to block the eavesdropping device and isolate the sound.

Then he sincerely apologized to Roland.

Then he handed the Moon Spirit Marrow Fluid to Roland and told him that he could come to him if he had any problems in the future.

From now on, he will be your teacher, Roland!
As long as you are in the academy, that damn witch can't threaten you!
Then the old man left in a hurry. No one knew what he was busy with, but in any case, the old man slipped away through the back door of the Magic Academy.

Otherwise, Roland wouldn't dare to chat with Iluvia like this at the gate.

He didn't want to gamble on the deafness of an eighth-level warrior.

"Okay, stop looking embarrassed as if your parents caught you doing something bad."

"I have to thank you. Without this bug, I would have really fallen out with the teacher."

"But now, everyone is happy."

"He seemed to think I was threatened by your surveillance, and his words didn't mean what he said."

"It seems that your image in his mind is really not very good, hahahahahahahaha."

Iluvia: “…”

Would it be better for me to laugh along at this time?

After a brief thought, Iluvia chose to admit her mistake.

"I'm sorry, Roland. I shouldn't have bugged you."

"Okay, I'll let you off the hook this time. If it happens again, I'll have to reconsider our relationship."

"Relationship!" Iluvia became nervous: "My, my, our relationship!?"

"Well, if something like this happens again, I'll have to re-evaluate our friendship. The lack of trust is serious."

Iluvia: “???”

Friendship? Just friendship!?
