“Don’t get chummy with me, Vahn Cadieux. We are not that close,” Cyrena Ashenborn said indifferently before ignoring Vaan and continuing to read her book. Hester Thornton immediately wanted to admonish Cyrena Ashenborn, but Vaan gestured her to not intervene. “It’s fine, Lady Thornton. I will handle this matter. There’s no need for you to intervene,” Vaan calmly smiled before turning his attention back to Cyrena Ashenborn. “We might not have a close relationship personally, but formally,…-

“Do you know everything about your city, Lord Gleriath?” Ember Killian turned to Istana Gleriath. “Haa… If I did, there wouldn’t be problems in my city, Marquis Killian,” Istana Gleriath sighed and suppressed her rage. Even though Istana Gleriath wanted to raze the whole dark organization to the ground, she didn’t know where to start looking. “My territory is barren and offers little profit. Besides mining minerals and collecting taxes, I don’t have any other major sources of income.…

After Ember Killian suggested going back over the evidence and facts, Istana Gleriath and Astoria Braveheart compromised, taking a step back. “The ones who handled the situation in the academy were Senior Elaine and Senior Gwena. One of them should have been the one to confirm Teacher Raphna’s death,” Astoria Braveheart replied. “I will accompany the both of you. I don’t want Headmaster Astoria feeding you with her biased opinions, Marquis Killian,” Istana Gleriath stated. Within moments,…

“So what if you are a High Witch?! So what if you are the Grand Inquisitor?! It doesn’t give you the right to make light of my daughter’s death! You don’t have any children! You don’t know what it’s like to lose one! Being able to make more doesn’t make one any less precious!” As Istana Gleriath roared furiously, her mana churned quickly and transformed into a great flame that threatened to swallow everything. Within moments, a great blazing sphere of scorching-hot flames loomed over…

… Meanwhile, inside Lord Istana’s castle, Ember Killian and her retinue of Senior Witches and Aura Masters arrived in the outer courtyard. “Welcome to my city, Countess Killian. It’s been a while since we last met,” Istana Gleriath welcomed the guests with two rows of witches and servants behind her. Ember Killian glanced at Istana Gleriath’s slightly relieved expression as if Istana Gleriath had nothing to worry about. Her gaze quickly glinted with disdain. “Eighty-seven years since we…

“S-Solomon Raphna??” Senior Elaine and Gwena were shocked after hearing Astoria Braveheart’s words. “Are you sure about this decision, Headmaster Astoria? There will be a strong backlash of opposition and heavy criticism from other academics once we publish the book by this name,” Elaine mentioned with concern before adding, “Furthermore, Her Majesty might disapprove of it.” “That’s right, Headmaster Astoria. I agree that entitling Vaan Raphna as a Wise Scholar would not do him…

Inside the headmaster’s office, Astoria Braveheart placed down her huge silver greatsword that seemingly weighed like feathers in her hand before it caused a heavy thud. Then, with her back towards Senior Elaine and Senior Gwena, Astoria Braveheart looked up at a painting of Blackmoon Academy on the wall with a sentimental look. Along the way to her office, Astoria Braveheart had seen the collapsed building of the library that was still in the process of rebuilding. “So Wise Scholar Eniwse turned…

Somewhere in the airspace above the clouds between Red Goblin Mountains and the Blackmoon Region, a black magic airship sailed through the sky. Blue particles of mana were crazily swallowed by two spherical magic engines that transformed the blue mana into thrusting power and levitation, allowing the black magic airship to travel at great speed and high altitudes. At the front of the open deck, two beautiful women stood side by side while looking ahead calmly without being bashed by the powerful winds.…

“Yes, my Lady,” Hester Thornton complied with a nod. “First of all, the spy we planted in Wretched Seal Tavern to secretly collect information was easily found out by Vahn Cadieux. He is aware that we have an intelligence-gathering network.” “Although it was just a feeling, I believe he also knew the agent was a witch instead of a normal lady without magic. This is in spite of the fact that our spies had altered their appearances and hidden their mana presence to appear like ordinary women or…

Out of everyone in Wretched Seal Tavern, only the cute bartender was a female. Thus, when a new beautiful lady walked inside, Vaan quickly determined the person wasn’t a customer. As if reinforcing Vaan’s conclusion, the beautiful lady scanned the tavern before meeting his gaze. But before their gaze met, there was a brief instance where the beautiful lady’s gaze met with the cute bartender. Although it was only a very brief pause, it was more than enough for Vaan to draw further conclusions. His…
