Chapter 72: What Do You Want to Do

Chapter 72: What Do You Want to Do

Perhaps because of that full-of-vigor berserker roar, or perhaps because she felt it was too shameful to bully a junior right from the start.

Miss Yingling put down her harsh words, sat on the sofa, crossed her legs, looked at her fingernails, and started putting on airs.

Only, while this big sister was putting on airs, her fingers trembled just a little bit.

Ahem, this kid’s life force was indeed a bit vigorous, really seeming like he could shatter a stone table weighing several tons in one hit… Hmm, and I heard this kid is quite skilled too, almost like those Nightmares from the Red Fox Den who specialize in assassinating wizards…

Little faces of Lilith and the others turned a bit pale. It was already the third time they looked towards their elder sister.

Yingling’s expression was still smiling, only, her scalp felt a little stiff under the gazes of Lilith and the others.

Ahem, it wasn’t really because he was too close or anything, it was mainly that Yingling thought, if this kid really went crazy, and with that dragon-like Strength and Nightmare-like Dexterity, took a step forward swinging that flail… Ahem, bullying a junior is a bit beneath her.

Yingling couldn’t help but sneak another glance at that kid out of the corner of her eye, and found that the kid was unhurriedly wiping the heavy flail on the table.

The hands of Lilith and the others inside their sleeves were already damp with fine sweat.

They somewhat regretted following their elder sister here today— Elder sister, why did you have to kick the door for no reason… And also, who knew this lunatic would act like he wanted to fight right away, with us here… we’re affecting elder sister’s performance!

The elder sister also felt she might perform a bit poorly today— Why wasn’t there even a single Wand on that kid’s table? Just a flail lying there.

It could only be like this.

Yingling suddenly threw a flirtatious glance.

[Miss Yingling used ‘Infatuation Lv3’ on you.]

“Little… ahem, little handsome guy, pour big sister some tea, won’t you?”

[She found herself failing.]

[She went back to looking at her fingernails.]

[You didn’t pour the tea. You just smiled and once again placed the Porcelain Dolls one by one on the table—right next to the flail.]

[You saw Miss Lilith and the others roll their eyes, slump weakly on the sofa, wanting to cry but not daring to.]

[Yingling was also dumbfounded.]

[A berserker with extremely high proficiency in Occlumency and the Ocris Magic Mirror, possessing the agility of a Nightmare? The several Miss Foxes were all feeling a bit uneasy in their hearts now.]

Seeing the little foxes stopped pretending, Louis smiled.

Why on earth were you trying to show off?

What were you being so mighty about?

Yingling kicked the door open, intending to be unreasonable right from the start, to tie up and beat the junior in this office—she certainly had the qualification. After all, her aunt was one of the seven department heads of the Ministry of Magic, so Yingling’s status, whether in the Ministry of Magic or the Academy, was extraordinary.

Therefore, not to mention picking on a new Wizard for no reason, even picking on an old professor, or someone like Trif, no one would dare complain.

But this depended on the person. Some people weren’t ones you, an elder, could just casually push around or show off to.

Today, I won’t use Magic, nor will I fight.

It was agreed, today we’ll only use words.

He took a sip of tea and said lightly, “I’ve long heard of Miss Yingling’s great reputation. I didn’t expect to meet you here today. It is indeed somewhat surprising.”

[You chose A]

[But the result was different from the prophecy…]

Yingling suddenly was no longer afraid.

Originally, what made her apprehensive was the fear that this kid had no brains, that he would start a reckless, unreasonable fight to the death—right when she entered, she had thought, ‘If he really intends to give up his career, dares to publicly assault a professor here at the Sacred Icon Tree… Lady… Lady, I’ll admit you’re tough!’

But clearly, this kid’s actions were rational.

As long as he wasn’t the kind who disregards his life, then everything was manageable.

Right? You’re just a temporary worker at the Ministry of Magic, and Ocris’s student. Why are you being so tough with me?

Don’t you want any future development?

Even your teacher is under my protection now. Why are you being so tough with me?

Yingling suddenly felt emboldened. Her high heels started swaying, her scalp no longer felt stiff, and she began looking at her fingernails again. She started putting on airs once more.

But after pondering Louis’s words just now, she suddenly froze all over—she nearly fumed with anger until her nose crooked!

What status do you have to be ‘meeting’ me here?

Doesn’t he know how to put on airs too well?!

No wonder Ocris said she was almost driven mad by students these past couple of days. This brat really looks like he deserves a beating!

Who do you think you are?

At this moment, Lilith poured the tea over. Yingling took it, not even glancing at Louis. Her words were full of hidden meaning, sarcastic and strange:

“Truly worthy of being Ocris’s prized student, Sir Louis. These past days, thank you for your ‘mercy’ towards the little Foxes.”

After saying that, Yingling lightly sipped her tea. Then she didn’t say another word, as if saying, if you don’t clarify this matter properly today, it won’t just be a matter of losing face.

She clearly intended to retrieve the face she just lost.

“Teacher Yingling, you flatter me.” Louis said with a smile. “You and my mentor have such a good relationship. If because of this small matter, unpleasantness arose between the Foxes and Your Highness’s side, that would really damage the harmony.”

Louis’s words seemed quite sincere, but when Yingling saw Louis pull a stack of IOUs from his chest, her nose, which had nearly twisted in anger before, almost twisted back again.

This kid is too arrogant!

He said it deliberately, he’s pointing it at me!

Yingling’s eyelids twitched wildly. Furious, she suppressed the anger in her chest and said with a smile:

“There’s no unpleasantness. It’s the little Foxes who didn’t know their limits and provoked Ocris’s prized student.”

After speaking, Yingling took out a stack of checks from her bosom and slapped them beside her.

—The amounts on those checks added up to exactly five thousand Gold Galleons.

Although names weren’t written yet, it seemed this Earl Yingling was also a wealthy lady.

“Since we can’t afford to provoke you, we have no choice but to pay.” After saying that, Yingling looked aggrieved, touched her wrist, and secretly aimed the small Crystal Ball on her wrist at Louis.

The next lines were also ready—like ‘we foreigners can’t afford to provoke your Mystery Office, just take the money if you want it’ or ‘spare my little sisters’ or something like that.

Then have a good cry.

Later, send it all to the Ministry of Magic.

Tsk tsk tsk.

Your teacher and I can’t handle you, right?

Someone can handle you!

[Clearly, Yingling was also a little drama queen. This Plan B popped up as soon as she rolled her eyes. She could say the lines right off the bat.]

“Calm down, Miss Yingling.” As he spoke, Louis took out a cracked Crystal Ball from a drawer, then walked with the Crystal Ball and the IOUs to the sofa area not far from the opposite side of the desk.

He handed the Crystal Ball to Yingling, then pulled out one IOU and placed it on the table.

After that, he leaned against the desk and smilingly sipped his tea.

Looking at that Crystal Ball, Yingling was puzzled.

At this moment, a recording of sound and images appeared in the Crystal Ball.

[Unbridled voices: “So, Sir Louis. Have you, made up your mind? Or, didn’t you understand what’s in the Crystal Ball, want~ to watch it again?”

(Louis’s warning)

(The little foxes’ unbridled clamor, humiliating Louis)

(Louis’s warning)

(The little foxes’ roaring laughter)

(Louis’s warning)

(The little foxes’ unbridled behavior, like a demonic dance, humiliating Ocris, Helen, etc.)

(Recording ends)

(Sounds of the little foxes reciting a Dark Curse)

(Sounds of hitting, the little foxes begging for mercy)]

…

Upon hearing this, Yingling’s face turned livid in waves.

Originally came to reclaim the situation, but ended up losing big face today.

Yingling felt her face burning hot. She glared fiercely at Lilith and the others. Lilith and the others turned pale with fear under their elder sister’s gaze.

She cursed them inwardly.

Your Highness Ocris, is she someone you can talk about?

I can say things because she’s my good sister, but who do you think you are?

And you idiots! Don’t even look at where this is!

This is the Sacred Icon Tree Academy!

Lady doesn’t even act that arrogant when doing business normally!

Not to mention letting someone record it—how stupid can you be! Wasted all these years teaching you!

And this Dark Curse, when I study it normally, I’m extremely careful. You guys simply have no regard for life or death!

Thinking that because the family has connections in the Ministry of Magic, you can be unbridled—do you think everyone in that Ministry of Magic is a friend?! You are truly unaware of how high the sky is and how deep the earth is! So many eyes are watching us!

Thinking of this, Yingling flipped through the IOUs again. After looking for a moment, she blinked hard, as if struck dumb. Then suddenly understanding dawned, her face turning ashen. She threw the stack of IOUs onto Lilith’s lap.

Defeated.

Even Lady, playing against this brat, might not gain an advantage. Lilith and the others, losing this time wasn’t unjust. One can only say they misjudged.

This simply wasn’t a player in their league.

Whether in Magic or methods, they were far too inferior!

The IOUs clearly spelled out all sorts of evidence of crimes committed by the Red Fox Den and the Mystery Office over the past few months.

If this really got exposed, even Lady would be in deep trouble!

No wonder this kid said ‘meeting’ earlier. He was waiting for me here all along!

On the other side, after seeing their elder sister glare at them, the little foxes’ faces turned pale. They originally thought they could use the IOU matter to salvage a tiny bit of reason, but after their elder sister threw those IOUs over, they all looked and were dumbfounded.

When they raised their heads to look at Louis, their eyes were already filled with fear.

Today, this was the third time they were truly getting to know this person. Each time left a deep impression.

This was simply not someone who belonged in the same ring for a PK as them.

Lilith and the others suddenly felt they weren’t wronged for being disciplined.

“Kid, what do you want to do.” Yingling said with an ugly expression, looking at the stack of IOUs in Louis’s hand.
