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

The first thought that came to mind after regaining consciousness was the faint scent of irises.

Elegant, fresh, and even a little holy.

Roy subconsciously moved towards the source of the smell, but bumped into an area that was not quite flat, but had some bumps, and it felt as soft as cotton.

"Um......"

Until a moan was heard, Roy was startled and opened his eyes.

The morning sun had just peeked out, and the sky was not yet completely bright.

In the dim light, Roy confirmed the current situation.

This is my room.

I had no clothes except my shorts.

The little maid was hanging tightly on her body, like a little golden koala.

I am not a pervert who would strip naked and use violence against a little maid.

So the only possibility is that I fainted last night due to the side effects of the potion and was rescued by the little maid.

The specific method of saving her is probably to use the Holy Light plug-in of the Girl of Destiny.

Looking at the girl's sleeping face, Roy couldn't help but sigh.

The way he slept was not peaceful at all, but more like he was desperately clinging to a life-saving straw and didn't want to let go. I guess she must have been worried yesterday.

While Roy was grateful for Alice's rescue, he also felt embarrassed for his flag behavior, which made him feel extremely complicated.

But as he began to examine the panel, his smile returned.

Putting aside a few minor accidents, judging from the results, this time of swallowing the potion was still very successful!

Two new abilities have been added to [Divine Protection of the True Ancestor].

[Insomnia]: The mind becomes more alert at night, and fatigue is almost non-existent. Furthermore, in the dark, the observation and dynamic vision are stronger than usual.

[Charm]: This is an instant charm spell, activated simply by looking at the target. The charmed person will be enchanted into a dreamlike state, the duration of which depends on the strength of the soul.

[Sleepless] is a pretty good harvest.

Roy remembered that this was a special ability possessed by a small number of dark-type transcendents. It looked weak, but was very practical.

Every time a transcendent upgrades their bloodline level, their facial features will be improved accordingly. However, even high-level transcendents are likely to be attacked by surprise in a dark environment - of course, whether the sneak attack is effective is another matter.

Roy's ability to search for enemies had always been a blank. Before, whether he was against the [Evil Dragon Society] or [Withering of All Things], his opponents always got the upper hand. Now, this blank was finally filled.

But Roy's feelings towards [Charm] were very subtle.

Chapter 3: Determination and Anguish

Magical supernatural powers often require casting or chanting. Simply put, they are extremely powerful and have a long lead-in time.

The ability of Charlotte and Nia to directly control the power of elements has gone beyond the concept of magic.

The ability to cast spells instantly, unlike the two mentioned above, is quite rare.

Judging from the description, it seems to be a very powerful illusion magic.

Every warrior has a dream of casting magic.

Apart from anything else, this is at least a long-range attack!

What, you mean [Ashes of Destruction]? That thing has a large attack range, but it still has to hit the person. It's essentially a melee attack!

With [Charm], I am also a wizard after all.

But why is she such a charmer?!

Should I flirt with my enemy during battle?! It would be fine if the enemy was a girl, but what if it was a guy?!

And this is not just a simple wink, it seems like an illusion being cast on the enemy!

Is she going to play her own pornographic videos to men?! Isn't this pure Nantong?!

Roy felt a chill just thinking about a bunch of rough men drooling at him.

He made up his mind that it would be best not to use this skill unless it was absolutely necessary.

I finally got a magic skill but I can't use it. It seems that it is still some distance away from realizing my dream of becoming a wizard.

Just when Roy was secretly discouraged, he heard a faint movement in his arms.

I saw the golden eyelashes as thin as butterfly wings tremble slightly, slowly opened, and the eyes, bluer and clearer than the sky, reflected my figure.

She squinted her eyes in confusion, softly, as if she hadn't figured out the situation yet.

Alice is usually concise, capable and strict with herself. It is rare to see her looking so sleepy and naive.

"Good morning." Roy couldn't help but smile slightly.

"Master, good morning..." Alice seemed to suddenly think of something when she was halfway through her words. She widened her eyes and sat up.

"Master! Are you okay? Are you feeling unwell?!"

As the little maid spoke, she began to touch Roy all over, causing the latter to blush and quickly hold down those two little hands.

"No, no, don't you see I'm fine?"

"But yesterday you..."

"There was a little accident." Roy sighed embarrassedly, "But thanks to you, everything is fine now."

After hearing what Roy said, Alice finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"As expected of Alice, you saved my life again this time."

Roy sighed, subconsciously wanting to touch the fuzzy blond hair.

But the girl suddenly dodged away and gave him a glance, showing her coldness.

That look, like the indifferent saint in the original work, was like the empty blue sky, but also slightly different, concealing a certain excitement and turbulence.

"Master, why aren't you more careful?"

"Uh... Look, I'm fine." Roy looked away guiltily.

"Yesterday he was vomiting blood and convulsing, looking half dead. Alice couldn't understand what the master meant by 'all right'!"

When did you develop that sharp tongue?! Roy felt a little hurt by such blunt words.

"Anyway, my goal of obtaining the power of the vampires has been achieved." Roy said with a casual smile, "Although it was all thanks to Alice, the result is good enough."

For the second time, Roy wanted to reach out and touch the girl to comfort her.

But when Alice heard this, her pupils shrank slightly.

The next moment, the suppressed anxiety turned into anger and erupted uncontrollably, leaving Roy no chance to comfort himself.

A shout louder than a girl could normally hear came towards Roy.

"not good at all!"

"Master doesn't know how to take care of himself! That's not good at all!"

"Alice doesn't understand. Is bloodline power so important? Is it worth the master risking his own life like this? Yesterday, he was clearly... in so much pain..."

The roaring roar gradually cooled down and finally turned into a whisper as thin as a mosquito.

The girl lowered her head, bit her lips, and a look of pity appeared on her face, as if she was the one who suffered the pain of the potion last night.

Even though he didn't remember what happened while he was unconscious, seeing the girl's reaction, Roy finally understood the psychological trauma he had caused her.

He couldn't help but feel fortunate that he had made a wise decision not to let Alice witness the tragic scene after projecting the [Blade of the Former King] with all his strength.

Although this was an accident, as long as we continue on the path of transcendence, we will always have to pay a price.

He raised his hand for the third time, but after hesitating for a moment, he placed his hand on the girl's shoulder.

It's not impossible to just touch her head and muddle through, but Alice has to learn to be strong.

Otherwise, if something really happens to her, how will she bear it?

Roy restrained his gentleness, lowered his tone, and said solemnly: "Alice, you know, my bloodline is special, and it always attracts the pursuit of cultists."

"I need power. And the pursuit of power comes at a price. There's no other way."

Having said that, Roy patted her shoulder and softened his tone again: "Alice is a sensible child, she will definitely understand, right?"

The sky gradually brightened, and a faint morning light re-entered the room, blurring the girl's expression.

After a long silence, Alice did not answer in the end, but stood up hastily.

"...Alice went to prepare breakfast."

Looking at the girl's back as she pushed the door open and left, Roy scratched his hair and could only smile bitterly.

This is the truth, but Alice is still a child after all, and it will take time for her to accept this.

Just like a young wife who stays alone in her room, even if she knows that her husband is busy for her, she will still complain.

If it wasn't because she cared about me, how could the little maid who was always calm be angry?

But I feel a little sorry for Alice.

Although she was clearly worried about his safety, Roy inexplicably felt a surge of warmth in his heart.

"Oh, sleep a little longer."

Bathed in the warm morning light, the boy lay down on the bed and closed his eyes comfortably.

On the other side of the door, Alice knelt down helplessly.

Alice certainly knew that Roy had his reasons for pursuing power, and she also knew that he had been injured countless times in places she couldn't see.

That's why he doesn't take this little thing seriously.

The master's bloodline is special and will attract the covetousness of cultists, so if he wants to survive, he must gain strength.

And to pursue power, one must pay a price, embark on that thorny road, and endure pain... right?

The elder in the church said that he was special.

If only I could become strong enough, strong enough to bear the pain with my master, strong enough to even help my master sever this fate...

No, not if, but must.

For the sake of the master, I must become stronger.

The light of morning light drifted down, and when Alice raised her head again, her eyes became firm.

The blonde girl stood up towards the light, as holy as an angel and as resolute as a knight.

But the next second, her shoulders slumped and she fell into deep depression and confusion.

Having said that, no matter what I said just now, I shouldn't have gotten angry at the master.

The master had done nothing wrong. He knew that too.

But at that time, I just couldn't control myself for some reason.

As a maid, she is so rude to her master. She is not a sensible child at all.

Thinking of this, Alice felt guilty and ashamed.

The blonde girl covered her face with her hands, whispering uneasy words through her fingers.

"Master, you won't hate Alice, will you?"

For Alice, this worry is more stressful than how to become stronger.

Chapter 4 Women’s affairs have nothing to do with men

Today is the last day of the semester.

No matter in which world, the end of a semester means the beginning of a carnival.

Starting today, access control will be lifted and students can enter and exit the college freely after simply reporting.

However, the academy and the college are currently working together on an investigation, so identity verification upon entry and exit will be stricter.

Different people have different ways of partying.
