The real reason is:
In this situation, it's absolutely impossible for him to let Mash, who is hiding the situation of the simulated battle from his fake self, resent him.
This has to be the case, at least until we figure out Mordred's situation.
Also.
He also didn't particularly like Ophelia's condemning tone, which sounded like that of a model student.
Only Morgan had the right to command himself in this way.
and so--
Answer the question in the way the other person dislikes the most.
as predicted.
Upon hearing Ian's reply, Ophelia, who had been barely managing to remain calm, suddenly became agitated.
"What did you say?!"
"Ian, how could you think such a thing? This is hurting Mash!"
"so what--?"
Ian did not accept Ophelia's accusations.
"What are you doing now?"
"She was clearly a Master candidate for Group A, but she only had Fou by her side."
"When she meets someone like me who is willing to listen to her, she can chatter on and on for hours, and then she worries that she might be too noisy."
"Even when eating, I worry that if I get too close, it will cause me trouble."
"And you-"
Ian looked at Ophelia in front of him with a cold gaze.
"Now you're blaming me for lying to her and saying I should have stayed away from her, but you're not going to do anything after that to change anything."
"Then I'd like to ask, isn't your behavior hypocritical?"
"If it's hypocrisy, then how is it any different from my despicable behavior?"
"Compared to me, at least I can make her happy, right?"
"..."
Ophelia hadn't expected Ian to refute her so directly.
When she was secretly observing, she saw that this person was very amiable and thought he would be easy to talk to.
But now it seems that was just one side of him that he showed Mash.
“Ian, you’re a bad person,” Ophelia couldn’t help but say.
"Thank you for the compliment." Ian accepted the compliment without hesitation.
"It is an honor for me to receive such praise from someone who is also a member of Group A."
Upon hearing this answer, Ophelia was first stunned, and then showed an expression of disbelief.
"You're also a member of Group A?"
“Hmm.” Ian nodded.
He intentionally revealed his identity at this time.
“Miss Ophelia, you probably never imagined that a villain like me would become a prospective Master of Group A alongside you.”
"Isn't the world amazing?"
Ian thought that Ophelia would be even angrier after he said those words.
That way, it would be a complete revenge for her attitude just now.
But things didn't go as he had imagined.
Upon hearing Ian reveal his true identity, Ophelia's attitude changed abruptly.
"Then why didn't you tell me earlier?"
"Honestly, I thought it was the people from Group B who crossed the line."
"..."
This sudden change caught Ian completely off guard.
He's not afraid of a head-on confrontation at all.
But if the other party backs down, he doesn't know what to do.
Are the members of Group B really that bad?
"It's not that it's terrible."
Ophelia took a sip of her drink and looked at Ian in front of her.
"Instead, everyone has something they should do."
"Let someone who tightens screws be in charge of the design, and then let someone who is in charge of the design tighten screws."
"The former is asking the impossible, while the latter is a waste of talent."
“Ian—”
“We are ‘monsters,’ so we should bear the responsibilities of ‘monsters,’ understand?”
Ian was not confused by Ophelia's remarks.
His mind is perfectly clear.
"So you're saying I'm qualified to take on Mashu?"
Even if I wanted to sleep with her?
"..."
Ophelia turned her face away.
"If Mashu is willing, can I stop her?"
"I just hope that the person who takes on this responsibility is a little bit more capable—if you're a member of Team A, then you're much more reliable."
Ophelia was not joking at all.
She genuinely believes that.
"So what kind of responsibility is so important?" Ian couldn't help but ask.
"Then you have to answer one question for me first."
Ophelia looked at Ian in front of her.
"Where are you a magician from?"
"The Clock Tower? The Wandering Sea? Or the Atlas Academy?"
Ophelia rattled off several organization names that Ian had never heard of before.
"No, neither."
Ian shook his head immediately.
"Actually, I haven't become a magician yet."
"what?!"
Ophelia became even more excited.
"He hasn't even become a magus yet, and he's already serving as a Master candidate in Chaldea?"
"How can this be?"
A strange competitive spirit ignited in the girl's blue eyes.
She took Ian's hand.
"no!"
"Come back to your room with me now."
"Let me see what's really going on with you!"
96. The Physical Examination That Captivated Ophelia (4,000-word chapter)
"stop."
Ian pulled back the impatient Ophelia.
Why does it have to be this time of day to go to your room?
“I refuse to do that.”
Ophelia was somewhat surprised by Ian's reaction.
"Aren't you interested in being a magician?!"
"I'm really not that interested."
Ian didn't say that to reject Ophelia.
In his memory, he had met two magicians.
One is Morgan;
The other one is Merlin.
Although I do not intend to discredit Morgan in any way.
But Ian has to admit that the identity of a magician has a great influence on a person's thinking.
After all, once a person has the ability to change things, it is truly unpredictable in which direction they will think.
Even Morgan became somewhat off because of it.
