Chapter 13: Exciting Anesthetic Energy Potion?

Chapter 13: Exciting Anesthetic Energy Potion?

The two of them found Ocris in the lobby on the first floor of the Tower. While waiting for the procedures, Louis got to see those ‘female beast-kin’.

Looking at the enchanting and charming woman sitting on the sofa next to him, holding a small mirror and looking at herself, Louis’s jaw almost dropped to the floor.

And she was even wearing tight leather clothes!

Were the ears on the head of this ‘fox spirit’ with an internet-famous face really not a Cosplay of ’02’?

Was the tail on her butt really not something that would come off with one tug?

And what about the other one, the Little Dragon Girl with a hot figure who was chatting warmly with Ocris? Were the dragon horns on her head really not pretending to be ‘Tiamat’?

This was what sexy female beast-kin were like?!

“What’s wrong, Louis?” Seeing Louis looking around with his mouth wide open, Ocris turned around and asked with a smile. “It seems you are very interested in the Ministry of Magic’s latest proposal?”

Hearing this, the several young ladies from other realms nearby couldn’t help but look at Louis with interest. That fox spirit sister even gave him a flirtatious glance.

[‘Cross-species Reproduction Experiment’—this was the latest proposal approved by the Ministry of Magic. Currently, this experiment was mainly being conducted here at Sacred Oak.]

[That’s right, the beautiful young ladies before your eyes were all ‘female beast-kin’ participating in the experiment.]

[It seemed the young ladies were all particularly interested in you. After all, a wizard with such vigorous vitality was truly rare.]

[Once, a choice was placed before you, and you failed to cherish it. Now, Ocris gave you another chance. You decided…]

[A. “Okay, okay, okay, okay, okay.”

Reward: Helen and Ocris Favorability -50, Foreign Young Ladies Favorability +Max, Cute Female Goblins19, Anesthetic1/day]

[B. “Your Highness, ladies, actually, I am a ‘Duck Clan’ member. Look at these huge mus…cles.” Show off your 4.9 Strength.

Reward: Miss Ocris’s slap1, Dragon Clan/Foxkin Favorability +Max, Foxkin’s proactive visits +N, Energy Potion60/day]

[C. “Your Highness, I have no interest in beast-kin, please don’t…” Then hypocritically criticize the current social trends.

Reward: Helen and Ocris Favorability +5, Foreign Young Ladies Favorability -100, Mana +1]

[Note: This was your first contact with foreign races. Your performance would determine their initial favorability.]

Obviously, choosing those female beast-kin was up to Ocris, not the foreign young ladies—it was practically a scam!

And apparently, being a duck didn’t seem that great either.

Louis rubbed his face, feeling his shame meter had been maxed out by the narration.

He felt this lousy system was deliberately messing with him.

‘I just looked a little longer out of curiosity, why did it cause so much trouble? Also, this Miss Ocris is too hard to get along with, right?’

Option A was absolutely not to be chosen, and he absolutely could not say the words for Option B.

But if he chose C… He was originally a gentleman of integrity, okay?!

The bad parts of society needed to be criticized. If the young ladies’ favorability decreased, it meant your values were off!

Besides, he was a transmigrator. What did he come here for? The system pulled him here, not to fool around with young ladies.

Hmph, mortal desires are just fleeting illusions.

Louis rolled up his sleeves, intentionally or unintentionally revealing his sturdy arms, coughed, and began to express his inspiration—or rather, his viewpoint.

“Your Highness, ladies, if I were to say that having a romance with any of you ladies was possible, anyone would probably say ‘okay, okay, okay, okay, okay’. Cough.”

As Louis spoke, he waved his arms somewhat intentionally, showing off his 4.9 Strength.

Seeing Ocris’s and Helen’s eyes narrow slightly, he quickly added:

“However, I think there is a problem with the Ministry of Magic’s latest proposal. I heard some time ago, there was a ‘Duck Clan’ participating in the experiment, just because their muscles were perfect…”

Louis suddenly changed the subject, talking about the Ministry of Magic’s latest proposal. He said a lot, but it was basically saying nothing, with a bunch of messy stuff about ‘Duck Clan’ and muscles mixed in.

The young ladies were utterly confused.

What did this have to do with the Duck Clan?

What on earth did this guy want to say?

But… this handsome little wizard seemed very strong!

His vitality was so vigorous too!

Could he have Dragon Clan blood?

The eyes of the several foreign young ladies, however, started to sparkle.

[Dragon Clan sister favorability +Max]

[Foxkin sister favorability +Max]

[Helen favorability +2]

[Ocris favorability +5]

“??? ”

Louis looked at Ocris and Helen with a bewildered expression.

You two are not right!

Helen looked away uncomfortably.

Ocris quickly coughed and changed the subject: “Ahem, Louis, what exactly are you trying to say?”

“Ahem, it’s like this. Romantic freedom is fine, but how can such a thing be observed as an experiment?” Louis criticized the current social trends, then hypocritically rambled on with a bunch of empty, meaningless nonsense.

Finally, under Louis’s continuous efforts, several of the foreign young ladies rolled their eyes.

Not long after, the young ladies found various excuses and walked away, swaying their hips.

In the end, the foreign young ladies’ favorability decreased a bit, but it stayed around 80—the little guy was quite interesting, just a bit hypocritical. And also a bit afraid of the teacher.

Seeing the foreign young ladies had all left, Louis quickly whispered, “Ahem, Your Highness, I’m not interested in beast-kin… really.”

[Mana +1]

[Ocris favorability -2—obviously, your deliberately lowered voice was a bit too fake. But regardless, you did publicly state your stance today. Ocris decided to let you off for now.]

“If you’re not interested, that’s fine, Louis.” Ocris rubbed her forehead and said, “Don’t worry. Although I have a quota I must fulfill, I don’t necessarily need you to participate in the experiment.”

“??? ”

Indeed, the quota in Ocris’s hands was the female goblins!

Louis secretly wiped away a cold sweat.

He stealthily felt his pocket and found there was an extra bottle inside. After glancing at the narration, he discovered it was [Sister Stia secretly slipped you an ‘Anesthetic Energy Exciting Potion1’.]

‘Anesthetic, Energy, Exciting Potion? What on earth was this?!’

While Louis was bewildered here, Ocris remembered something else.

She looked at Louis with a strange expression for a moment and suddenly asked, “Louis, who gave you that magic spell?”

Hearing this, Louis also put on a puzzled expression—he had prepared for this question.

He pretended to think for a while, then shook his head and took out a small note.

“Your Highness, this matter is really strange.” Louis said with a frown. “At the time, I really didn’t know what to do, thinking of trying the Demon-Banishing Charm Helen gave me. But just as I was about to secretly review it again, I found the incantation text had completely changed! Necessity dictated, so I had to recite what was there.”

As he spoke, Louis handed the small note to Ocris.

With great confusion, Ocris took the note. Looking at it, she found the magic spell on the note was definitely not hers. Moreover, the handwriting was very strange; every stroke looked curved, like new buds on a vine. It was full of faerie essence.

Helen also curiously leaned over at this moment. After seeing such writing, her eyes suddenly widened.

Ocris’s eyes slowly grew moist. She knew who it was. She exchanged a look with Helen, and both of them smiled.

“Teacher, who wrote this magic spell?” Louis asked with a strange look. “They seem very skilled.”

Ocris smiled and didn’t say much: “Indeed, very powerful.”

Seeing Louis about to ask more questions, Helen grabbed Louis’s arm, mysteriously putting a finger to her lips in a ‘shh’ gesture: “This is a secret, Louis. Don’t tell others.”

Hearing this, Louis nodded in seeming understanding.

“And also, you really need to study magic spells properly.” Helen gave Louis an annoyed glance, but then she blinked her big eyes with a strange expression.

Eh… eh?

That dancing handkerchief earlier seemed to have been made by Louis.

He… he seemed much more capable than her!

“That’s right, Louis.” Ocris frowned, giving Louis a very exasperated look. “Louis, Sacred Oak is not like the Forbidden Sanctum; you can’t pass by just writing papers. Although you are not very… ahem, somewhat capable in the study of magic spells, you still need to read more. In the coming days, study well with Helen (“Sister, sister… sob sob” “Yes, teacher.”). What if you fail the make-up exam later? Be a temporary worker for life? (Yes, yes, yes, teacher).”

Louis covered Helen’s mouth and smiled, agreeing to Ocris’s admonitions.

Ocris glared at these two mischievous ‘children’, feeling extremely odd inside.

It must have been something written by Sister Stia. How could a little newbie like Louis have that level of skill?

Ocris said a lot, but it all boiled down to thinking that although Louis had little talent, diligence could make up for it.

Louis naturally nodded repeatedly to these words, putting on a humble and attentive appearance. This made Ocris very satisfied.

After talking about Louis, she then scolded Helen thoroughly.

After being scolded, Helen pouted, rubbing her eyes with a wronged look, and was in no mood to tattle anymore.

Ocris gave her sister a pinch with annoyance.

Her three students had made fools of themselves today, which was truly embarrassing.

Instead, Louis’s performance had extremely surprised Ocris.

Although the magic spell was given by Sister Stia, Ocris saw clearly the composure and calmness Louis had shown.

Moreover, what Louis faced today was not just a Calamity Evil Spirit, but also so many spectators who saw him as a clown.

Under that pressure, Lufield and Tyrus completely dropped the ball, but Louis, while reciting, did not make a single mistake!

It was as if he had written it himself… Hmm, this ability to memorize someone else’s magic spell was not bad.

However, what pleased Ocris the most was that this bookworm knew how to flatter at critical moments.

Ocris felt very comfortable.

The speech at the podium was indeed very good. She originally thought everyone was doomed after Louis recited the magic spell on the spot. But unexpectedly, this kid managed a huge reversal.

The exchange student introduced by Sister Stia indeed had some ability of his own.

At the very least, he possessed all the qualities a real wizard should have—though it always felt like this guy was more like a knight…

Shaking her head, Ocris dismissed this ridiculous thought. She stood up from the sofa and said, “Let’s go, let’s go check Director Trif’s office. He should have returned with the documents.”
