As a villain, I really don't want to be pursued by the heroine.

Repeating a grade was a small matter, disappointing Alice was a big matter, and being mercilessly mocked by Nia, that poor student, was an even bigger matter.

But just as he was about to knock on the door, he bumped into a middle-aged man who pushed the door open.

When they looked at each other, they were both stunned.

"Mr. Malfoy?"

Roy remembered that this hooked-nosed, cold-faced uncle was the Red Mage, who had been responsible for cleaning up the aftermath of the attack on the Blue Moon Theater.

The Red Mage was in charge of hunting down the cultists. Although he wasn't very familiar with them, Roy felt very friendly towards anyone who had a problem with the cultists.

Malfoy's opinion of Roy, however, was a little more subtle.

Thanks to Roy and his maid, Kalman's attack did not turn into a tragedy. From this point of view, Malfoy was very grateful to them.

But it was also because of this that Malfoy was privately talked about by his peers, and had students help him clean up his mess when he didn't do things right. So, while he objectively admired Roy, he found it difficult to have a good impression of him.

"Do you have something to do with the student union? Is there anything I can help you with?"

"It's nothing, I've already talked to your president." Malfoy glanced into the room, his tone dull and indifferent.

"Roy Ironblad, right?"

"You came just in time. This matter has something to do with you."

Just as she was saying this, Lyanna's voice suddenly rang out from inside the house: "Lord Malfoy, I won't see you off."

Malfoy was slightly stunned by the interruption, but he didn't care. He left after saying "Let's talk again when we have a chance" and walked away.

Inside the house, Lyanna sipped her coffee as usual, her manners dignified, elegant and leisurely, her brown hair combed smooth again, she was completely different from the charming and mysterious witch before, and returned to the mode of student council president.

However, Claire beside her looked as if she wanted to say something but hesitated.

Roy, who caught this, couldn't help but frown slightly: "What is the Red Mage doing here?"

Claire was about to speak, but Lyanna stepped on her foot silently, and she shut up obediently.

"It's not a big deal." Lyanna smiled slightly and put something away on the table. "My junior's matter is more important."

"I'm just here to submit my application for withdrawal." Roy handed over the withdrawal form.

The brown-haired girl stared for a moment before slowly picking up the pen and signing in approval.

It should have been a very simple action, but she dragged it out for a long time.

After a moment, she covered her face with her hands and said in a melancholy voice, "Alas, has this day finally come? My junior no longer belongs to me."

"It didn't belong to you in the first place, right?!"

"How heartless! Is it true that my junior is just playing with me?" Lyanna wiped away her non-existent tears with a sad face.

Ignoring Claire's shocked gaze, Roy silently closed his mouth.

No matter what this bad woman says, he has given up explaining.

However, when Roy received the application to withdraw from the club, he still felt a little dazed.

In this way, his fate with Lyanna would be completely severed.

They were just ordinary senior and junior students. Apart from the occasional glances when they passed by in the academy, there would be no unnecessary entanglements between them.

She had obtained the Hydra's poison sac as she had hoped, and had likely advanced to Sequence 6. With her intelligence, he had also obtained the King's Certificate as he had hoped.

However, there was one thing that concerned Roy.

Before leaving, Roy turned his head.

"If you really have any trouble, you can come to me."

Lyanna stared into the boy's eyes, her lips trembling slightly, but then she pursed them tightly into a natural smile.

As usual, she jokingly asked, "What's the matter? Why are you suddenly so concerned about me?"

No matter how hard he looked, Roy couldn't find any flaws on Lyanna's face.

I hope I'm just overthinking it.

After the young man left the office, Lyanna slowly loosened her hands that were holding her skirt tightly. The smile on her face gradually disappeared, and her eyes became gloomy.

Claire looked at the shadowed girl and couldn't help but pretend to be cheerful and said, "Master President, you really won't tell him? It's so rare to go to the banquet with him!"

But Lyanna shook her head and smiled bitterly: "Do you think this is something funny?"

She took out the invitation she had hidden earlier, her eyes growing colder. "This banquet, to put it bluntly, is a declaration of war between the academy and the Purple Demon School."

"And our Dark Magic School is the vanguard used by the Magicians' Association to test the Purple Magic School, the first chess piece to be sacrificed. Moreover..."

Besides, I don't want to use him anymore.

What's more, the day of breaking up is approaching, and I shouldn't indulge in tenderness that doesn't belong to me.

Lyanna forced herself to look away from the boy's direction and took a sip of her coffee.

All the complicated thoughts were suppressed, leaving only the insoluble bitterness.

----------

Roy had just come out of the student union building when he saw Malfoy waiting there for a long time.

"Now we can have a nice chat."

Roy walked around the campus with Malfoy, and had a vague guess in his mind.

Lyanna said it was nothing, but the fact that the Red Mage had come to the academy specifically was unusual. He took this opportunity to find out what the other party was doing there.

Malfoy looked at Roy. "I heard you want to participate in the society's internal exchange meeting and purchase collections?"

"Although the academy has been busy dealing with the Purple Demon School's affairs recently and the exchange meeting has been suspended, I can be your introducer and take you directly to the exchange meeting for mid-sequence extraordinary people. I can even help you inquire about the extraordinary materials you want."

The Magician Society held many large and small exchange meetings, the quality and scale of which varied greatly and were very complicated. Having an introducer would naturally help him get twice the result with half the effort, not to mention that the other party was willing to directly help him inquire about the internal information of the society, which could be regarded as a gift.

But Roy knew very well that there was no need for a Sequence 6 Red Mage to show any courtesy to him.

"So, what do you need me to do?" Roy saw through the other party's intention and asked proactively.

He was not overwhelmed by the proposed benefits, but he was not overly vigilant to the point of being afraid. He did not directly refuse or agree, but went straight to the point and confirmed the other party's requirements first.

Malfoy nodded imperceptibly, and his habitually stern expression relaxed a little.

"This weekend, the Cassandra family of the Purple Demon School will hold a dinner to formally respond to the matter of collusion with the cultists."

Malfoy said solemnly, "On behalf of the society, I invite Mr. Roy to attend the banquet and denounce the unjust actions of the Purple Demon School!"

Chapter 90 I have to go

"What does the conflict between your Magicians' Society and the Purple Demon Society have to do with a student like me?" Roy raised a reasonable question.

"That's wrong. Mr. Roy, you are no ordinary student." Malfoy said meaningfully, "First, with the Blue Trial's [Death of All Creatures], and then with the Blue Moon Theatre's [School of Necromancy], Mr. Roy thwarted the cultists' plots twice and has now stood on the front line against them."

"You symbolize far more than you can imagine."

Hearing this, Roy understood.

He had long suspected that there were more than one or two people in the Purple Demon School who were colluding with the cultists. However, without sufficient evidence, the Magicians' Association was reluctant to take direct action against a large school.

Therefore, they need to use the point of "colluding with cultists" to build momentum.

In order to create momentum, you need to establish a glorious image.

Roy raised his eyebrows. "Compared to me, shouldn't you go to the Holy Light Church first?"

Malfoy snorted slightly, a little disdainful: "Humph, those from the East are outsiders after all."

"In my opinion, apart from not being completely devoid of conscience, those weirdos are no different from cultists."

The relationship between the Magicians Society and the Church of Holy Light has always been bad. The former believes that the latter's belief in the Holy Light and praying for miracles negates human efforts, while the Church of Holy Light believes that magicians are undisciplined and undisciplined, and are a group of barbarians practicing weird witchcraft.

Although in Roy's opinion, when it comes to being superstitious, they are all about the same.

But Roy did not miss the other meaning in the other person's words.

'The guy from the East'.

It seems the academy's leadership doesn't trust the Holy Light Church very much. It's no wonder, this incident is considered a scandal within the academy, and even if they need to seek external help, it's more likely to save face by turning to their own people rather than the church.

As a student of the magic academy and a winner of the Blue Trial held by the society, he was half one of them.

"Wait, speaking of college representatives, could it be that senior...the student council president is going too? Isn't having her enough?" Roy suddenly realized that this was probably what Malfoy came to discuss with Lyanna.

However, Malfoy looked embarrassed when he heard this, and looked away unsurely: "She alone is not enough."

"The identity of a black magician is special. Being a critic is still not glamorous enough."

As Malfoy had said, in the eyes of the world, dark magicians were mad wizards who had dabbled in demonic power. Although they were slightly better than cultists, they were still feared.

It was only after hearing what the other party said that Roy suddenly remembered something.

In "Rondo of Angels", there is such an incident in the later part of Lyanna's plot line.

One day, Lyanna seemed to have attended a banquet and came back drunk. As soon as she came back, she broke into Alice's dormitory and went crazy. She grinned and pressed the latter under her, doing all kinds of unspeakable things!

That was arguably the most thrilling CG scene in "Angel Rondo", and just thinking about it makes one's mouth dry.

That banquet seems to be related to Cassandra's family!

This was originally an event that happened at a very later stage, but considering that the plot had been disrupted by himself long ago, Roy seriously suspected that the party that caused Lyanna to go drunk and crazy was the party that Malfoy was talking about!

In the original novel, after venting her anger severely, Lyanna revived with full health the next day, feeling miraculously refreshed, and also awakened the little maid's strange habit.

Of course, Alice and Lyanna are now not strangers, but at most they are just acquaintances.

The problem is, I am the one who is closer to Lyanna now!

Especially on weekends, Charlotte and Nia would come to stay at my house.

Imagine Charlotte and the others excitedly pushed the door open, only to see a charming woman with disheveled hair and a flushed face suddenly burst in, crying and struggling, shouting such vicious words as "Junior, don't you want me anymore?" while riding on them...

Thinking of this, Roy couldn't help but feel a chill and dared not think about it anymore.

Hell on earth is just like this, right?!

In order to avoid being attacked at night by the crazy bad woman, he had to go now.

Roy declared to Malfoy: "Let me be clear first, I can attend the banquet, but I will not participate in the actual struggle between you and the Society."

"No problem. As long as you are willing to show your face." Malfoy nodded slowly.

Rather, this was originally a dispute between magicians, and most of the nobles from external forces who attended the banquet were just there to show their faces and take sides.

--------

A few short days passed quickly.

On Saturday afternoon, the Purple Demon School held a grand banquet and invited dignitaries, including the Magicians' Society and nobles from various countries in Viszea, to come and clarify the suspicion of collusion with cultists.

The Purple Demon School has always been run by the Cassandra family, a famous mage family. Its headquarters, which is also the venue of this banquet, is the Cassandra family's mansion on the outskirts of the Academy City.

Although the relationship between the Magicians' Society and the Purple Magic School was somewhat tense, at least the banquet was relatively peaceful at the moment.

Especially for young people who are not aware of current affairs, this is a rare social dinner.

People are outside under the bright stars and fragrant flowers, drinking and chatting, feeling comfortable and leisurely.

It was the first time for many young people to attend such a large-scale banquet. They were amazed at the important figures that were rarely seen in other places and the magnificent and luxurious mansion of the Purple Demon School.

But for young boys and girls with surging hormones, any party is for socializing, and what attracts them most are always the outstanding opposite sex of the right age.

"Mr. President, come on, look! Isn't that the handsome boy from the South Sea Country? And the rich guy from the Golden Sand Country! Ah, this is my first time attending such a large banquet..."

Claire excitedly shouted for a long time, only to realize that the girl next to her didn't even raise her eyes, and she couldn't help but feel deflated.

Today, Lyanna was wearing a slim brown fishtail dress that outlined her curvy yet slender figure. Her brown curly hair fell naturally, and the edges of her purple eyes were decorated with narrow eyeshadow, making her look more charming than usual.

However, she lacked her usual elegant smile. She stared blankly at the people coming and going, drinking champagne by herself. She seemed a little listless, with a melancholy that was out of place in the scene.

I originally thought that Lyanna was just having an exciting one-night stand with Roy, or even that they were just "friends with benefits" who were only interested in sex but not love.

That's why she deliberately exaggerated the introduction of one handsome man after another, trying to cheer up Lyanna. Indeed, there were many young men who politely invited Lyanna to have a chat.

However, Lyanna was even colder than usual, not even bothering to put on a polite smile, leaving everyone disappointed.

Seeing this, Claire gave up the idea of ​​introducing other men and couldn't help but sigh secretly: "I can't believe that the president is still obsessed with Roy..."

Unexpectedly, as soon as these words came out, Lyanna suddenly raised her head and looked at her closely, her purple eyes extremely bright.

"What did you say, Roy?"
