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

Thinking of this, Alice couldn't help but lower her head even more.

However, the boy, who was clearly trembling but still accepted the punishment obediently, like a sensible puppy, made Roy feel a little at a loss.

Alice is not the kind of person who likes to fight and act rashly. She must have her own reasons for fighting to the death with the mind eater.

Roy rubbed his swollen brow and patiently started with the simplest question: "Why don't you run away? The Heart Eater isn't fast. With your strength, you should have a chance to escape."

"...Alice, I want to kill it." The girl said weakly, some scary words.

"Kill it? Why is it necessary? You should know that you are no match for it..."

Alice suddenly shook her head vigorously: "No! Alice can win!"

"Even if the master doesn't come to help, Alice can still win—"

Roy interrupted her explanation in a deep voice: "That's right, but the price you paid was that you were seriously injured and in imminent danger. What's the point of such a victory?"

The girl's pupils shrank and she lost the strength to defend herself.

Sure enough, this look is still too ugly.

The victory gained after striving with all one's strength is not worth mentioning at all...

Looking at the distraught look of the girl, Roy sighed.

He leaned down slightly and pressed the girl's delicate shoulders, being careful not to touch her wounds.

Most of those shocking scars healed under the influence of the holy light, but the somewhat tattered dress still reminded Roy of the hard battle the girl had gone through, causing him a dull pain.

Roy asked the question that concerned him most.

"Alice, why do you want to defeat that guy even at the cost of getting hurt?"

The appearance of the Mind Eater was a sudden situation, and there would be no benefit even if we defeated it.

Alice raised her head, looked at the boy's puzzled gaze, and opened her mouth slightly.

But she couldn't bring herself to say the words "Imagine being looked at by my master like them".

The master's wishes should not be distorted for one's own benefit.

As a maid, I should be guarding his happiness behind his back. Such an idea is offensive in itself.

Besides, the master has never looked at me with that kind of eyes. Doesn’t that already explain the answer?

A maid, yet she has such thoughts about her master,

If you say it out loud, your master will definitely hate you.

Alice lowered her eyes and escaped from the boy's sight, ultimately unable to say anything.

Seeing this, Roy couldn't help but smile bitterly: "I didn't expect that Alice now has her own little secret."

"No, Alice just..."

"Forget it, if you don't want to say it, don't say it."

Alice was caught off guard by the boy's sudden smile.

"Ugh?"

"You have your reasons, and I believe you." Roy changed the subject and became serious: "But remember, no matter what your reasons are, you can't joke with your life."

"Don't do such stupid things next time. Take better care of yourself. Do you understand?"

Roy rubbed Alice's head vigorously and said in a vicious tone.

Alice heard the tenderness hidden in the boy's words.

But because of this, I feel even more depressed.

Even though my master is so gentle, I don’t even have the courage to confess to him.

Alice is indeed an irredeemable bad kid.

----------

Enwei panicked.

The only thing he didn't send was his familiar to inform Roy, because he wanted to wait until they were in danger and then rescue them in time to show off his power.

After seeing the signal flare, he set off immediately.

However, when he entered the swamp, he was dumbfounded.

The Sequence 6 Thunderbird's head was blown off by something, and its body was left exposed in the wilderness.

You know, this thing is the overlord of the swamp, even he has to spend some effort to deal with it.

What could have killed this thing so badly?! Could it be some other monster that had learned to escape?!

No, no, no. Even if two Sequence 7s encounter a Sequence 6, they should be able to hold out until I arrive!

Since this training was a search and arrest, the students did not have to travel too far!

However, when Enwei arrived at the location where the flare was launched, he was completely dumbfounded.

The scene looked like it had been ravaged by a fire dragon, with no grass growing and everything turned into scorched earth.

God knows what kind of monster did this!

I'm afraid that the master and servant have already...

Enwei almost vomited blood at that time.

The purpose of special combat training is to hone practical combat capabilities, so it is not surprising that people die.

But this time the situation is special and the special training is temporarily interrupted, so the teachers have the obligation to protect the students.

So Enwei originally thought of waiting for the master and servant to fall into danger before rescuing them.

But where are the people? Where did they go? Were they really burned to ashes?!

He can show off his power one way or another, but if someone dies, he can't afford the consequences!

If A, B, C, or D didn't have any background, they would be dead, and he could still use his connections to suppress it.

The magic academy is really that shady. Normally, ordinary students are not oppressed, but when something goes wrong, they suffer endlessly.

The problem is, Roy is not A, B, C, or D.

Even though Envy didn't care much about the news about the little brat, he knew that the boy was in the Magician's Society and had the support of the Lionheart Kingdom, the Emerald Council, and the Kingdom of Golden Sands.

Two of them have close ties with him!

If this guy dies right under his nose, at least he won't have this job anymore.

Enwei ran back to the outskirts of the swamp out of breath, ready to call for help and start a search, but he saw the students chattering and laughing again.

The master and servant were surrounded by them.

Enwei almost fell to his knees.

Holy Light, Goddess, please bless me! No one is wrong!

But what followed was anger.

"Hey! You two! After sending out the flare, why aren't you waiting for me right here?!"

Chapter 14: Report to the Academic Affairs Office!

Facing Enwei's question, Roy almost rolled his eyes: "If we really wait for you to arrive, we'll probably have already been eaten by the monster."

Enwei's face twitched, but he managed an awkward smile: "I'm glad you're okay, I'm glad you're okay."

"Due to incorrect information from the society, this special training has been temporarily suspended. Of course, the credits will be made up for you as appropriate. Since everyone is fine, let's disband..."

"Wait, I'm not okay." Roy interrupted Envy abruptly.

He had already heard from other classmates about the interruption of special training.

"Teacher Enwei, why didn't Alice and I receive the familiar you sent?"

Enwei paused and replied stiffly, "That's strange."

"Perhaps you were so busy escaping that you missed the familiar. Or perhaps the familiar was killed by a dangerous Sequence 6 monster."

This reason is barely acceptable.

However, Enwei had no idea that the master and servant were not fleeing in haste, but were actually engaging in a battle with the monster. If there really was a familiar there, it would have been impossible for them to miss it.

"Then why did it take so long for Mr. Enwei to come to the rescue?"

Roy pretended to be serious and sighed resentfully, "If we really encounter any danger, this time it will be a big deal."

Roy really has some personal emotions.

If it weren't for Alice's extraordinary strength, if it weren't for me being here this time, if it were an ordinary Sequence 7 transcendent, I'm afraid they would have become snacks for Warcraft.

Enwei was speechless.

In fact, his speed was not slow, but who knew that the master and servant would come back before him.

This shows that he is an incompetent teacher!

The eyes of the students looking at him were filled with disgust and contempt.

Enwei's expression twitched a little, and he laughed dryly: "Hahaha, at least you are okay. Should we say that the young are to be feared? You are indeed much better than I was back then..."

Roy didn't say anything, just looked at him with a smile.

It wasn't until Enwei felt a little uneasy that the boy finally withdrew his gaze, allowing him to breathe a sigh of relief.

"It seems I was overthinking it. I thought Teacher Enwei had some grudge and was deliberately making things difficult for us during the training."

"Haha, how could that be?" Enwei wiped his sweat.

"However, I am only a student after all, and it's not good to doubt you without reason. So..."

Roy smiled brightly and said, "Let's report this to the Academic Affairs Office and let them handle it."

Enweiru was struck by an invisible lightning, his hair stood on end and he froze in place.

Students are afraid to sue their teachers, and office workers are afraid to sue their leaders.

In the Academic Affairs Office, there are the leaders and bosses that Enwei, a social animal teacher, fears the most.

"Wait, wait, you misunderstood..."

"goodbye teacher."

After saying that, Roy turned around and left with Alice without looking back.

He seriously suspected that this guy was deliberately targeting him, but he had no evidence. However, there were many suspicious points in this training, so it would be more convenient to let professionals investigate.

Of course, if it were an ordinary student, even if this matter was reported, it would only make the matter smaller.

But given his status, I don't think the Academic Affairs Office would dare to protect him.

Moreover, although he said he was reporting to the Academic Affairs Office, Roy had a perfect candidate in mind to report to.

If Enwei were to be handed over to the Ice Rose who regards rules as iron laws, he would be in big trouble.

------------

As the sun sets, the master and servant return home.

Today is the weekend, and the three girls have been waiting here for a long time.

Familiar laughter echoed in the room. In the past, Alice always liked to stay aside, watching the boys and girls getting along harmoniously, as if she was also infected by their warmth.

But today, she returned to her room without saying a word.

Alice is a quiet person, but she is not autistic. This is the first time the three girls have seen her like this.

The girls all cast blaming glances at Roy, especially Nia, who thought he was too harsh on Alice, which made the boy laugh and cry.

Rather than being harsh, it's more like she's pushing herself too hard, right?!

And strangely enough, the three girls actually don't get along with each other, but they all have one thing in common: they dote on Alice like a younger sister, which makes Roy seriously doubt his status in the family.

However, Alice was unaware of what was happening outside the house.

The always capable girl didn't even light the magic candle. She just lay listlessly on the bed, like a puddle of mud, not wanting to move at all, letting the dusk gradually sink in.

Looking back, this internship was terrible.
