Magicians never make wishes

"We'll see," Ronan said dismissively.

I have enough points now, so the priority is to get the materials.

"And the second thing?"

"The second thing is..." Arabella suddenly blushed a little, but quickly composed herself and said,

"President Ciel asked me to participate in the investigation of that matter with you..."

"Isn't that director investigating?" Ronan asked, puzzled. What could two outsiders like them possibly find out?

"They say that being the person involved makes it easier to investigate..." Arabella's voice grew weaker, clearly indicating that she herself didn't quite believe this claim.

But Ronan understood; this was what the chairman meant by "get to know each other better."

Arabella took a jade-colored stone, about the size of a fingernail, from her bosom and handed it to Ronan.

"This is the reward from Chairman Charles; he said it might be useful to you."

Ronan reached out and took it, immediately feeling a strong life force in his hand.

This life force entered his body, giving his frail body a renewed sense of vitality and a renewed desire to eat.

"What is this?"

He turned around, picked up his water glass, and intended to drink some water to relieve his suddenly increased appetite.

"The Stone of Aura can slowly strengthen the body."

The misty stone...

He had never seen this item on the market, nor was it on the exchange list; it was clearly quite valuable.

Ronan looked puzzled. Although everyone could see that he was physically weak, why was this old man suddenly being so nice to him?

"you……"

Arabella recalled his unmoved attitude towards her that night, and combined this with the guild leader's body-enhancing artifact, she vaguely had an answer in her mind, so she asked to confirm.

"Are you... not very good at that?"

puff.

Ronan was drinking half a glass of water when he suddenly spat it out.

"Don't talk nonsense to me!"

He didn't even have time to wipe the water off before giving the other party a serious warning.

"No?" Arabella looked over suspiciously, her face full of disbelief.

Slander! She's slandering me!

……

"You mean this is payment? Do you mean we're investigating together?"

After calming down, Ronan asked.

"Yes, and Chairman Charles said that we can ask other departments to cooperate during the investigation."

Arabella pulled out a badge engraved with the Arcane Society's signature symbol, the Arcane Eye outlined in silky lines.

Ronan only knew that this badge was called the President's Token, and that only the president of the entire Secret Arts Society could possess it.

"You mean, when we conduct an investigation, all we have to do is show this chairman's order, and everyone has to stand still and listen to us?"

My imperial gold medal is a gift from the emperor; seeing the order is like seeing the person himself.

"It doesn't serve that much purpose; it's just to identify us."

"Isn't this the president's order?" Ronan asked, puzzled.

Could this female secretary have mixed up the secretariat's administrative badge and the president's order?

If the president finds out, at best it's a work mistake, at worst it could be considered impersonating the president.

"I'm the one who uses the chairman's orders."

Oh, that's okay.

"Why use this to identify yourself? I don't have any identification."

"You have it. Once you receive the payment, you've accepted the mission. Once you accept the mission, you're one of my people."

Arabella seemed to sense the ambiguity in the statement, her face instantly turning red, before continuing,

"We are now a special task force directly under Chairman Charles, dedicated to investigating the role each department played in this case."

"Did the president tell you that?"

Ronan was filled with doubt. What happened to the promise of more contact?

Why has it turned into an investigation?

Although the reward of the Misty Stone was indeed very suitable for him.

He even felt that even if he didn't do anything, his body would recover to a normal state after a while.

"This is what I've gleaned from the president's words, based on my years of work experience," Arabella said matter-of-factly.

"Otherwise, why do you think we should give you that stone as payment?"

"Alright, but I need to do some preparations before I start the investigation."

Ronan plans to get the permanent magic sorted out first, just in case he needs to exchange it for "healing spell" to make up for his shortcomings.

He had intended to continue his search for magical healing techniques on the second or third floor.

But this would be too time-consuming, and also unnecessary.

The Book of Magical Knowledge contains the original owner's "Twenty-Four Enhancement Plans for Healing Spells," which can be directly exchanged for "Healing Spells" using points; the enhancement plans are all readily available.

He found Darcy and gave him a list of materials and authorization to use the points.

It is specifically emphasized that the purchase of the relevant materials has been authorized by the president.

He then became a hands-off manager, sitting at his residence waiting for the materials to be delivered.

Darcy was very happy that Ronan had entrusted him with this task. As an administrative staff member, he would receive a certain percentage of the points when the students used them on his behalf.

These are written regulations from the association, designed to encourage administrative staff to develop a service-oriented mindset towards trainees.

The association's mission is to prioritize the students above all else.

Only trainees can have code names, while administrative staff can only address them by their names, and those of lower rank usually have to address trainees as "sir".

The list of materials Ronan provided, along with the "healing spell," would give Darcy a very generous cut.

This almost completely depleted the points Ronan had earned.

But this is only temporary; your points will automatically increase as the chapters are updated.

He couldn't help but think that it would be great if the power of will could also be restored to this state.

……

The next day.

There was another knock on the door of room 761.

Ronan was fully prepared and ready to go. He opened the door.

"I'm ready..."

He thought it was Arabella coming to meet him, but instead, it was the new emperor standing at the door.

"Why is it you?" Ronan asked instinctively.

"I went out yesterday, so why is anyone else here?" the new king asked, puzzled.

Seeing that Ronan wasn't his usual slovenly, secluded self at home, but instead dressed smartly as if he were waiting for someone...

The new emperor felt something was very wrong.

"Are you...?"

He was about to ask Ronan if he was in love when a beautiful figure appeared behind him.

"Hello, Secretary." The new emperor nodded politely.

He helped Ronan deliver manuscripts and met Arabella once.

It's said that this person is a favorite of the president, practically the president's alter ego within the association, so the new leader wouldn't dare offend her easily.

Arabella nodded politely to him.

Then, looking at Ronan, he said in an affectionate tone,

"Is everything ready, darling?"

"Okay, let's go."

Ronan nodded and waved goodbye to the new king beside him.

The new king stood there, completely stunned.

No, I was only gone for a day, and you two already...

Although you two are quite a good-looking couple, but...

Well, as long as updates are guaranteed, that's fine...

The new emperor stood there for a long time before finally convincing himself.

……

"Seriously, is it necessary to act so intimately?"

Arabella held Ronan's hand, and her large breasts kept brushing against him, making him extremely uncomfortable.

Is it even possible to walk properly now?

"You promised yourself that we'd conduct the investigation later, giving you time to prepare. The price is that you have to pretend to be lovers in public," Arabella said matter-of-factly.

"Wasn't it just a verbal address, meant to confuse the various departments conducting the investigation?"

Ronan was starting to regret it.

This woman seems to be constantly trying to verify the theory that slanders her about being "not good in that area," and she's prone to doing things that go too far.

"The people in each department are very shrewd; who would believe them just by talking?" Arabella said confidently.

"What, do they think we have to kiss them if they don't believe us?" Ronan said speechlessly.

Arabella's eyes lit up immediately. "Hey, that's a great idea!"

"You're a girl, can't you be a little more reserved?"

"See! You're just not good at that!"
