Did the villainous professor survive today?

"Enya, wait for me a moment."

Kroenke turned and walked toward Sistine.

He came to her:

"Why are you here?"

"What a coincidence, Professor Krenk, I didn't expect to meet you here."

Sistine leaned forward, craning her neck, her almost transparent eyes looking over Krenk's shoulder at Enya, and asked:

"Could we use your backstage lounge?"

Enya subconsciously looked at Krenk, as if seeking his opinion.

Kroenke gave him a tacit look.

"Please, make yourself at home."

"bring it on."

Kroenke said.

Sistine followed Kroenke into the empty lounge.

Sistine closed the door and sat down, her gaze towards Krenk somewhat strange:

"What's your relationship with that girl?"

I can't exactly call it a superior-subordinate relationship... For some reason, Krenk always felt a guilty feeling, like he'd been caught in the act. He said:

"Teacher-student relationship".

This is the truth.

"Is that all?"

Sistine's intuition compelled her to keep asking questions.

"And then there's the relationship between the auction house owner and the customers," Krenk thought to himself.

"Our relationship isn't what you're imagining; we're innocent."

Upon hearing this, Histina's tense face relaxed imperceptibly.

But the next second, she put on her pretty face again, her voice slightly cold:

"That's not what I'm asking. I'm asking if you're planning to repeat the same trick, like plagiarizing other people's papers, to steal Enya's academic achievements?"

"Do you know Enya?"

Kroenke made no attempt to hide his doubts.

"I heard Sophia mention that the top student in their second year was a girl named Enya Colonna. She was very beautiful, with blonde hair and golden eyes."

Listening to Histina's explanation, Krenk blinked, thinking to himself that it was no wonder the name sounded so familiar; it turned out she was the top student in the second year.

He was silently amazed by Enya. While maintaining her academic performance at the St. Auster Magic Academy, where powerful figures abounded, she was also able to carry out missions issued by the Silent Order and even manage her family's business on the side.

He's practically born with the physique of a bull or a horse.

Sistine interrupted Krenk's thoughts:

You haven't answered my question yet.

"I have absolutely no such intention," Kroenke said. "That agreement still stands, and I will not plagiarize other people's work again."

This is the truth.

[You have cleared up Sistine's misunderstanding, points +1000!]

[Current points: 1000!]

Hearing this, Sistine felt slightly relieved. She stood up, preparing to leave.

"Then I'm leaving, Kroenke. Let me give you one last piece of advice."

Sistine approached Krenk and looked into his eyes.

"I know there's a fire burning inside you, but please don't try to do things that are far beyond your capabilities, or that fire will burn you to death."

Kroenke nodded without saying a word.

It seems that Sistine has accepted the theory of the common origin of magic as his own.

However, in the magical world, even if a mage discovers this theory, they may not be able to prove it if their level of expertise is insufficient.

In particular, the ultimate question of whether magic and magic share a common origin, which has been a challenge for scholars throughout history, can lead to demonic possession for weak mages if they get caught up in it.

Therefore, when Sistine said this, she was warning herself not to do things that were beyond her capabilities.

Watching Sistine turn and leave, Krenk suddenly realized something.

Setting aside the content related to Enya, all that remains of my conversation with Sistine is that last piece of advice.

Kroenke called out to Sistine, asking curiously:

"So, you came all this way just to say this to me?"

As soon as she finished speaking, Sistine froze for a second.

Then, she suddenly shuddered and hurriedly turned around to explain:

"No! I...I didn't come here to see you!"

Krenk's nose seemed to grow longer, like Pinocchio's, as he echoed the other's words:

"I believe you didn't come here to see me."

This is a lie.

Noticing that Kroenke didn't trust her, Sistine quickly went to his side and added:

"I'm not lying to you, I really didn't come here to see you. You've really misunderstood me, you know?"

Kroenke nodded:

"Okay, I understand."

This is a lie.

Sistine stared at Krenk suspiciously, took a few steps back, puffed out her cheeks as she scrutinized his face, then came back to him and muttered under her breath:

"Really, even though you're my fiancé, it doesn't mean you're my whole world. I have my own things to do at the auction house, understand?"

Kroenke nodded: "I understand."

This is a lie.

Sistine panicked:

"And I also bought something I really wanted at the auction! I thoroughly enjoyed the process!"

Kroenke: "The auction hasn't even started yet."

This is the truth.

"..."

Sistine lowered her head in annoyance, her fair face flushed red, the blush spreading all the way to her ears.

"Why don't you calm down first?" Kroenke suggested.

"No, I'll be going now."

Sistine covered her face with her hands and strode away outside.

[You have increased Sistine's favorability towards you, points +500!]

[Current points: 1500!]

"Can this really earn points?"

Kronk was slightly taken aback. Was the points awarded for a Level A death threat really that generous?

He's almost fallen in love with Sistine.

He pondered for a moment and seemed to understand that in the eyes of someone who loves you, some behaviors will be subconsciously romanticized.

After figuring out the principle behind the bonus points, Kroenke opened the panel:

[Spirit Lv29 (580/1280)]

I'm just one step away from reaching level 30 in Spirit.

Without hesitation, Kroenke used the points he had just earned to add more points.

[You have consumed 700 points, and your Spirit level has been upgraded to Lv30]

Remaining points: 800

This time, Krenk didn't pour all his points into his mental attribute at once. Instead, he carefully calculated and only used 700 points, just enough to reach the threshold for upgrading.

[Spirit Lv30 (0/2150)]

【Mana Lv27 (400/1120)】

Strength Lv13 (145/300)

[Constitution Lv16 (15/420)]

This is the first time that Krenk has had an attribute reach the third tier.

At first, his eyes suddenly felt a stinging sensation, but in the next instant, the stinging sensation vanished.

Then, the world before his eyes became clearer.

Krenk licked his teeth and frowned. It was a strange feeling to see the world gradually becoming clearer in front of you.

To give an example, it's like when you think 4K is already very clear, but then 8K suddenly appears.

Do you think this thing has changed? Yes, but it's hard to pinpoint exactly where the change occurred.

"Wait a minute, what... is this?"

Krenk blinked and noticed that there were several faint lines floating in mid-air in front of him, as if he had floaters.

He reached out, trying to grab the lines, but as if they were an illusory projection, Krenk's right hand passed right through them the moment it touched them.

Seeing what was happening before him, Krenk was stunned for a moment, then immediately showed a look of delight:

"Spiritual vision?!"
