I, the spiritual mentor of beautiful girls from all over the world

It was as if he wasn't dodging, but the deadly magic seemed to come alive and deliberately avoided him!

Mr. Colbert, standing on the platform, suddenly pushed up his glasses, his usually calm face now filled with unprecedented horror.

'He...he predicted the trajectories and weakest points of energy in all the spells! No! This isn't just prediction, it's...it's like futurism! He's not dodging, he's using the tiny energy gaps created by the clashes between spells to move!'

'This...this is no longer a matter of combat skills! This is the deepest understanding and manipulation of the laws of magic itself!'

In the crowd, Chuluk's fiery red eyes were fixed on the figure in the center of the arena. The charming smile on his face had disappeared, replaced by a burning passion mixed with shock and madness!

'This man... he's not fighting, he's... taming magic!'

Montmorency, standing beside her, held his face in his hands.

'He...he just...I think he smiled in my direction?'

An unnatural blush instantly appeared on the girl's cheeks, caused by excessive imagination.

Louise, on the other hand, was completely mesmerized.

In her world, all the noise had faded away. In her eyes, only that figure walking in the magical rain of light remained.

That was no ordinary person; it was a deity she had prayed to, performing a miracle just for her alone.

"How is that possible! Keep attacking! Don't let him stop!"

The backup group of four panicked completely and frantically activated their magic.

While everyone was still immersed in this unimaginable shock...

Lynn fought back.

He flicked his right wrist.

The unremarkable branch gently touched the ground.

"Snapped!"

A small pebble was launched with pinpoint accuracy, transforming into a blur almost invisible to the naked eye, and shot precisely into the gaping mouth of the giant toad that was spewing out icy water.

"Croak—!!"

The giant toad's breath abruptly stopped, and frost instantly exploded in its own throat. Its massive body writhed wildly from suffocation and excruciating pain, finally crashing heavily onto the rock giant ape. The two familiars immediately rolled into a heap.

Immediately afterwards, Lynn gently flicked the branch in his left hand at an extremely tricky angle into the air.

"call--"

The fire column spewed by the Fiery Hound was abruptly redirected by the faint airflow he created with the branch, like a tamed pet, tracing a graceful arc and striking precisely the wing of the eagle that was releasing wind blades in mid-air!

"Wow—!"

With a piercing scream, the eagle, its wings ablaze, spiraled down, billowing black smoke, and crashed into the ground, creating a large crater.

Between the lightning and flint.

Of the four powerful familiars, three have lost their fighting ability!

The remaining stone ape, seeing the miserable state of its companion and then looking at the unharmed man, let out a mournful cry, trembled, and lay on the ground, no longer daring to move.

The whole place was dead silent.

Everyone's brains completely shut down because of this surreal scene.

"It's your turn."

Lynn's calm voice, like the pronouncement of death, rang in the ears of the four backup options.

He held the tree branches in both hands and swayed his body.

Everyone just felt a flash before their eyes.

"Clap! Clap! Clap! Clap!"

The four backup options didn't even see Lynn's movements clearly. They only felt a numbness in their wrists, and their wands, which they cherished as their lives, flew out of their hands uncontrollably!

But the magic wand (of good money) didn't fall to the ground; instead, it traced a strange arc in the air and landed steadily back in their own hands.

This time, however, it was the tip of the staff pressed against their own throats!

Next, Lynn used the end of a branch to gently tap the back of each of their knees.

The four of them suddenly felt weak in the knees and, with a series of thuds, knelt down on the ground in perfect unison, under the watchful eyes of the entire school.

They held their wands to their throats, their faces filled with humiliation, fear, and disbelief!

From the start of the battle to its end.

No more than thirty seconds!!!

The entire academy was completely shaken!

If some people think that defeating Gish was just luck the first time, then...

This time, under the watchful eyes of the entire school, despite being at a significant disadvantage of 1v8, they achieved an overwhelming victory in a manner that was almost humiliating and artistically crushing...

This is a miracle!

Undoubtedly, absolutely powerful!

"The strongest familiar in the academy..."

I don't know who was the first to call out this title.

Immediately afterwards, a thunderous roar of cheers erupted from the civilian camp!

And it spread to the aristocratic students.

No one dared to mock Louise anymore.

The only things people looked at her with were volcanic envy, jealousy, and... deep awe.

Because of her, she possessed a familiar that was like a god.

Louise looked at the four senior students kneeling on the ground, pointing their wands at her, trembling, and then at the man whose breathing was perfectly steady.

An unprecedented and immense sense of pride and honor erupted from the depths of her heart like a volcano!

She straightened her slender spine, and her peach-pink eyes, which always carried a hint of inferiority, now shone like two of the most brilliant stars, filled with an adoration and love that could drown a person.

……

That night, in Louise's room.

Chapter 40: Louise in despair, the familiar is about to leave?

That night, in Louise's room.

A misty steam drifted out from the crack in the bathroom door, carrying the unique fragrance of a certain floral bath gel, characteristic of the continent of Tristine.

Louise blushed and, for the first time in her life, poured bathwater for Lynn. She even stubbornly snatched the white shirt he had changed out of, which was covered in dust from the duel, and insisted on washing it for him herself.

She lowered her head, not daring to look Lynn in the eye. Her lovely face, which always tried to maintain a dignified appearance, was full of girlish shyness.

But if you look closely, you can see the overflowing, unreserved dependence and adoration in the depths of her eyes.

This is the scene that greeted Lynn as she walked out of the bathroom, drying her wet hair.

The girl squatted in front of the wooden tub, clumsily washing clothes. Moonlight shone through the window lattice onto her, as if gilding her with a holy halo.

Her cautious, obedient demeanor, like a timid young wife, stirred something within him.

Looking at the girl's serene and content profile, it would be a lie to say he felt nothing at all.

This pure, unreserved trust is a power more powerful than any magic.

But precisely because of this, the upcoming "trial" seems both necessary and somewhat... cruel.

If you want her to truly stand on her own, you must teach her to face challenges alone. Flowers in a greenhouse will never bloom with the most dazzling light.

In his mind, a pale blue virtual countdown, visible only to him, was silently ticking.

【14:18:32】

The 48-hour detention period is fast approaching.

He knew that in order to completely anchor himself to the coordinates of this world and to complete the "guidance" task issued by the system, leaving was a necessary step.

This is also the most crucial "trial" for the girl in front of us.

Seeing the girl's content and peaceful expression, Lynn suddenly spoke, his calm voice breaking the silence of the room.

"I'm going back tomorrow afternoon."

"Clap."

The shirt in Louise's hand instantly lost all its strength and fell heavily back into the cold basin of water, splashing water that soaked the hem of her skirt, but she was completely unaware.

She abruptly raised her head, and in a mere second, all the brilliance in her peach-colored eyes, which had just been brimming with sweetness and happiness, vanished, replaced by a tremendous, overwhelming panic, as if she had been abandoned by the entire world.

go back?

He...he's leaving?

Is he going to... abandon me?

This thought struck her like a black lightning bolt, cleaving her soul in two!

Those dark memories she had forcibly suppressed in her heart, known as "Louise Zero," flooded her like a burst dam!

Is it because I'm too useless?

Is it because I can't afford to pay salaries?

Is it because I'm... not good enough?

Will everyone eventually laugh at me and leave me, just like before?

"Why...why?!"

Her voice was trembling violently and filled with heavy sobs.

The pride and confidence that had been painstakingly built up in front of Lynn, belonging to the victor, were shattered and collapsed at this moment by those two words.

Looking at her unfocused eyes, her face contorted with tears, and her expression like that of a small animal abandoned by the whole world, Lynn sighed almost imperceptibly.

In his [emotional perception], the brilliant orb representing Louise is being visibly devoured by gray-black "fear" and "despair".

He walked up to her, his tall figure casting a shadow that completely enveloped her.

He explained in a tone as gentle as possible, yet with an unquestionable, mentor-like quality.

"I'm not abandoning you. The contract hasn't been broken; I just need to go back to my original world to take care of some things."

He paused, gazing into her eyes, which were now thick with tears, and continued.

“It’s more like a trial. The connection between us remains, and I come here every now and then.”

"Furthermore, if you encounter an enemy you cannot defeat, you can still summon me through the contract. This is your right."

His words were crystal clear and full of logic.

But these rational explanations did not reassure Louise in the slightest.

Instead, it was like a series of red-hot sharp knives that completely pierced through her last glimmer of hope.

Every so often?

When was that?

one day?

A month?

Or a year?

Or... will it never come again?

What if Chuluk and the others cause trouble again while he's away? What if Kishu and the others challenge him to another duel?

What if... what if he gets summoned away by another magician who is prettier, stronger, and more capable than me?!

The thought of that scene, the thought that the light that had saved her from endless darkness would illuminate others, made Louise feel as if her heart was being gripped tightly by a cold, large hand, which then squeezed it to burst with all its might!

She was in so much pain she couldn't breathe!

Do not!
