It’s getting harder and harder to be a villain these days

The document Vickrey gave her was not ordinary paper, but rather expensive 'magic memory paper'.

One costs 1000 galleons.

Just one page can accommodate the contents of a book, and is usually used to record precious documents and rare magic.

One costs 1000 galleons.

These more than 200 pages of 'magic memory paper' are equivalent to a small library.

She reads more books than she does in one semester...

"200 copies..."

She has less than a month to read them all? !

"what..."

Sophie rubbed her temples painfully, feeling like the whole world was leaving her.

Chapter 149 Application

Snowflakes fall.

Pure white snowflakes fell in the air, dancing slowly in the air.

There was silence on the silver-covered earth.

There is only one road left leading to the distance, with rows of white walls on both sides of the road.

When she was a child, Youla didn't like winter or this cold season.

Because of her birth, her mother left forever...

This was something Yura accidentally learned from her drunken father when she was a child.

Although her brothers and sisters have never alienated her because of this, this incident has always been like a thorn in Yula's heart, and it is also her biggest guilt.

Since then, Ura has often practiced sword practice with the knights in her family, because only in this way can she alleviate the guilt in her heart.

Among them, her father and eldest brother are the most outstanding swordsmen.

They are both Yula's pride and the beginning of her dream of becoming a knight.

Yula very much hopes to become a hero like them and protect this family just like she protects her.

Yora is willing to give up herself and become the family's sword to kill the enemy.

As a child who had his mother taken away from his family...

This is her only way to make up for her family, and it is also her only dream.

----

It's not yet dawn and it's still dark outside.

Yura opened her eyes from her sleep, with tears remaining in the corners of her eyes.

"..."

Why do you keep dreaming about the past these days?

Youra stood up from the bed and looked blankly at the mirror in the bedroom. The woman in front of her seemed a little strange...?

It's not yet dawn and it's still dark outside.

Yura opened her eyes from her sleep, with tears remaining in the corners of her eyes.

"..."

Why do you keep dreaming about the past these days?

Yura walked into the bathroom and looked at herself in the mirror blankly.

The woman in front of me seems a little strange...?

Yura touched her cheek with her hand, feeling unreal.

The face is as delicate as usual, but it seems to have a different temperament mixed with it.

She shook her head and washed her face with water.

When she looked at the mirror again, the strange feeling was gone, but Yula still felt weird.

But she didn't pay too much attention to it, just pretended that she hadn't woken up, turned around, changed her clothes and walked to the training room.

As she walked on the road, Yula smiled self-deprecatingly.

He was said to be a personal guard, but he protected me instead. It was really rude...

Thinking of this, Yula tightened her grip on the Oriha steel sword.

As if feeling the master's emotions, the sword trembled slightly, and the magic power resonated with her.

After the war, Yula wanted to return the sword, but was rejected by Weekly who was immersed in studying medicine.

The reason is.

"Keep it until you find a suitable weapon."

Yora understood that he was worried about her. After the battle at the ruins, she realized that there was a big gap in strength between herself and Vickrey.

I am really too weak.

Even without her, Weekly would have won more easily...

If this continues, the gap will become wider and wider.

As a knight, she is not the kind of woman who needs protection from a man, even if the other person is her fiancé.

At least, it can't be a burden to him...

She must become stronger!

Yula secretly made up her mind.

----

the other side

, through the half-open curtains, sunlight poured into the house.

"Ding-a-ling-a-ling-a-ling!"

The alarm clock rang like crazy.

"Snapped!"

Sophie slapped it to the ground and woke up with a groan.

"Ah, it's so noisy..."

These past few days, she read papers every day until midnight, but she had no clue.

Sophie knew every word in it, but when they were put together, she was dumbfounded and couldn't see what it was saying at all.

It was only when it was almost dawn that she couldn't hold on anymore and fell asleep for a while.

Sophie climbed out of bed with sleepy eyes, staggered to the bathroom, and began to clean the saliva marks on her face.

Today was an important day and she couldn't be late.

"Today is the day of the interview..."

Sophie brushed her teeth and sighed secretly in her heart.

She had impulsively said that she wanted to be Vickrey's assistant, but she didn't expect that she would actually go.

Thinking of everything that happened last night, she felt a little incredible.

Weekley actually returned his father's research to him so rashly...

This made Sophie a little suspicious of his purpose, thinking of the prerequisites that Weekly had put forward for her, and his previous character.

Sophie had reason to suspect that the other party was hiding something secret.

The paper Vickery gave her might be a defective product, and the real paper was still lying in his hand, waiting to laugh at himself.

"Hmph, that must be the case, I almost got fooled! I will definitely find the real paper!"

Sophie planned to take a shortcut and wait until she became Vickery's assistant, then she would be able to approach Vickery's laboratory in a legitimate manner.

I heard that he has been staying there for the past few days, so there must be something weird about him.

Sophie rinsed her mouth, looked in the mirror, straightened her clothes briefly, and admired her 'beautiful' curves for a while.

Maybe because she has been eating so well recently, she has started to grow.

Although it's not proud enough, it's already 'tall', which is more than enough compared to Olivia's flat figure.

Sophie walked to the mirror, turned around twice, and then nodded with satisfaction.

"good."

Then she just put on a coat and went out, not dressed formally.

As for whether she would be chosen as Vickrey's assistant, she wasn't worried at all.

After all, with Vickrey's temper, how could anyone sign up besides her.

But when Sophie arrived at the wizard tower where Weekley's office was, she was dumbfounded...

The place that used to be deserted has become extremely crowded, almost people are sitting next to each other.

The fact that Kitty, the former assistant, was directly promoted to associate professor attracted many wizards to try their luck.

Just when Sophie was worried about whether she would be dismissed without even being able to see Vickery in person, a voice came.

"Huh? Sophie Corbett! Come here."

Kitty, who had remained in the corridor, waved warmly to her.

Sophie breathed a sigh of relief when she saw Kitty. Associate Professor Kitty was very talkative and she still had a chance.

"Well, Professor Kitty, can I participate in the interview?"

Sophie gently hinted whether she could jump in line.

Kitty smiled happily when she heard the word 'professor'.

"Of course, just wait a moment. You're the last one to arrive. I'll be here in about three hours."

“…”

Sophie was a little silent. For a moment, she couldn't tell whether the other party did it intentionally or simply didn't realize what she meant.

---

The wait was longer than Sophie imagined, and it took a full four hours before it was her turn.

As soon as she entered the door, she saw Vickery sitting there neatly dressed as usual.

Sophie sat down respectfully on the chair in front of him.

"Name?"

"...Sophie."

Sophie's head was buried low. Although she was confident before going out, when she actually faced Vickery, she showed her timidity.

Thinking of the threat she had made to Vickrey that night, she felt afraid for a while...

I won't be dismissed just because of what happened a few nights ago.

Sophie herself wasn't sure of the answer...

Chapter 150 Lurking

"Are you really sure you want to be my assistant?"

Vickery asked as he flipped through the application form in his hand.

"um, yes."

Sophie nodded frequently, she just wanted to end this quickly.

But just when she was uneasy, Weekley immediately stamped the application form, and the whole process went extremely smoothly.

"Congratulations, you can start working today."
