Witch Training Manual: My Water Magic Is Wrong

A figure walked in with light steps.

The girls instinctively tensed up.

The person who came was Alice.

She stood in the doorway, her gaze sweeping around the room before finally settling on Wayne's face, a sweet smile spreading across her face: "Brother, did I disturb you?"

Wayne shook his head: "No. You've come at the perfect time."

He turned to Tiffany and the other two, adding casually, "Don't be nervous. She's my sister Alice, and a key member of this operation. I spoke with her about the whole thing last night. All you three need to do now is take your medication on time and relay information accurately."

Alice nodded to the three of them, her smile gentle and natural: "Hello. My brother is a bit of a hasty person. If he speaks too fast and you can't keep up, you can always ask me."

Tiffany and the other two exchanged glances, their tension easing considerably, and then nodded in unison to Alice: "Thank you, Miss."

Alice smiled and waved her hand, then turned to Wayne and said, "Brother, I've already bribed the guards downstairs today. No problem, it only cost a little money."

After hearing this, Wayne reached out and gently rubbed the top of her head.

"Well done."

Alice's eyes squinted slightly as he rubbed them, like a cat being stroked, and she couldn't suppress the smug smile on her lips.

Wayne nodded, then turned to Tiffany: "By the way, that traitor you mentioned earlier..."

Tiffany immediately understood and voiced Wayne's concerns: "Rest assured, sir, that traitor is unaware of the secret codes used for communication within our order. She hasn't been a member long enough to handle the core communication methods."

Before she could finish speaking, Hilda snorted, crossed her arms, and said with obvious displeasure and anger, "Just talking about her makes me angry! I really thought she was a good person. I thought that although she was of noble birth, she was very approachable and took good care of her sisters. Who would have thought that a duke's daughter could do such a despicable thing!"

Wayne raised an eyebrow: "The Duke's daughter? The one who betrayed you is the Duke's daughter?"

Salia stood to the side, her eyes instantly reddening. She lowered her gaze, her voice filled with obvious guilt and self-reproach: "...It's all my fault. If I hadn't recruited her into the Order, none of this would have happened. I've ruined everyone's lives."

Tiffany gently patted Salya's shoulder, her tone gentle but firm: "It's not your fault. None of us expected her to evade Dira's mind test. Dira's ability is to directly read surface intentions; even she didn't notice anything amiss. It just shows how deeply she's hiding her true intentions, so deeply that even mind magic can't reach them."

Wayne's brow twitched slightly.

"Even a psychological test can't detect it?"

“We couldn’t detect it,” Tiffany said with certainty. “Later in prison, Dira told me that Ofina’s mind was very clear, without any hidden hostility or malice. Either she genuinely wanted to join the cult, or her willpower was strong enough to actively block mind detection. Now it seems clearly to be the latter.”

Wayne looked up at Tiffany and asked curiously, "Then, which duke's daughter is this traitor?"

Upon hearing Wayne's question, Tiffany's gaze turned cold, her voice carrying a distinct chill: "Her last name is Victoria, and her full name is Ophina Victoria."

Alice stood to the side, and when she heard the name, her body visibly stiffened, and her expression was filled with disbelief.

She blurted out instinctively, "You mean... that most popular Divine Grace at the Royal Capital Theological Seminary lately, Ophina Victoria?!"

Hilda spat fiercely, "Pah! She doesn't even deserve to be called a gracious one! A person who betrayed her own sisters to gain the Church's trust doesn't deserve divine favor!"

Alice didn't respond.

She was silent for a few moments, then slowly looked at Wayne: "Brother... do you remember Ashley, the guy we met on the Hollywood Walk of Fame yesterday?"

Wayne's memories were suddenly brought back.

He nodded at the woman in the deep red riding outfit, her gaze direct and bold. "I remember her, Ashley Victoria. What kind of relationship do they have?"

Alice slowly explained to Wayne.

Ashley Victoria is Ofina Victoria's older sister. Although they are half-sisters, they are indeed sisters. However, it is said that their relationship has never been good. No one knows the specific reason, but it is widely known in the royal capital's circles.

Wayne suddenly realized.

"I see."

Seeing that no one was speaking.

Wayne looked at everyone, then calmly concluded, "There's no point in saying more. I've said everything I needed to say. Everyone, please prepare yourselves. When the time comes, we'll proceed according to plan."

Everyone nodded, their expressions varied, but their eyes all held a new layer of seriousness and certainty.

Wayne didn't linger any longer and turned to walk towards the door.

Alice quickly followed beside him, and the two walked out of the side building one after the other.

Looking at Alice's expression, to be honest, Emily felt a little bit jealous at that moment.

However, on the other hand, Emily still felt quite superior to herself. She was the person who understood Wayne the most, and as for just how well, Wayne must be very clear about it.

Outside in the courtyard, Alice walked beside him, feeling very happy because she had finally helped her brother today.

She turned her head to look at Wayne's profile and asked softly, "Brother, are you really going to use witches to build your own power base?"

Wayne nodded.

"Um."

Alice paused for two steps, then spoke again, her voice tinged with more concern than before: "Then...can they really do it? Brother, I've heard that witches can be terrifying when they lose control. The archives of the Royal Palace have records of several incidents caused by witches' magical backlash; the most serious one reportedly involved half a city block being razed to the ground."

At this moment, Wayne said confidently.

"Don't worry, I can control the witch's loss of control. Don't forget who your brother is. I'm a fourth-tier potion master. When it comes to understanding curses and magical backlash, there are few people in the entire capital who understand it better than me."

"That's true, my brother is a powerful potion master."

After she finished speaking, she seemed to remember something, and her tone carried a hint of sigh: "To be honest, after we went shopping yesterday, you talked to me so much, and then you started doing things today. I'm really not used to it! This pace is too fast."

Hearing his sister's sentiments, Wayne reached out and ruffled Alice's hair: "You've worked hard. Now that we're back in the capital, you're the only person I can completely trust."

At this moment, Alice was very happy.

Oh, brother's hands are so warm~

Hehe~ My brother said he trusts me, I'm so happy!

While Alice was still feeling happy, Wayne seemed to suddenly remember something and asked a question.

"By the way, what did your friend say about Aya's kendo teacher?"

Alice also remembered this.

"Yes, my good friend Nancy said we can go see her tomorrow. Brother, let's go together tomorrow!"

"Um……"
