Did the villainous professor survive today?

St. Auster Magic Academy, Chief Professor's Office.

Krenk pressed his left hand against his forehead, his pupils trembling slightly:

"How could you forget this most important one?"

In the game, the character Maven basically plays a backup role in Krenk's death ending, and her presence is not very noticeable.

Most of the time, players have already killed "Kronk" before she even develops, so it's rare for her to personally kill her enemy.

"My predecessor killed her father; it's a blood feud. It's definitely impossible to settle it with money," Krenk muttered, biting his finger as he analyzed.

"Is the only solution to set her up in a way that guarantees her death?"

After saying that, Kroenke immediately dismissed the idea; even with an intelligence advantage, he couldn't possibly do that.

"No, doing this at the academy is too risky. Besides, we don't know what other tricks she has up her sleeve. It might backfire..."

dong dong!

There was a knock on the office door.

Kroenke closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and composed himself.

"Please come in."

"Professor Krenk."

The person who entered was a blonde woman with golden eyes, wearing a school uniform with a family crest of a soaring eagle pinned to her chest, and clutching several documents in her hand.

"Is there something you need?"

Krenk asked.

Enya noticed that Krenk was in a bad mood. She hid the materials behind her back and cautiously probed:

"Teacher, I've found out who sent that anonymous letter."

Krenk glanced up at Enya: "It's that girl named Meiwen, isn't it?"

"Yes...yes!"

Enya's pupils dilated slightly, and she subconsciously praised him.

"Professor Klenk is amazing."

"I knew it."

Kroenke muttered to himself.

This impulsive style is exactly the same as how Meiwen deliberately made things difficult for me during class.

If one possessed the ability to rewind time, then bypassing the academy's patrols and security to take photos of the laboratory would be incredibly easy.

"Should we find a way to get rid of her?" Enya rubbed her neck.

"No, stay away from her. Pretend this never happened. If she comes looking for you, don't say a word to her. Got it?"

Krenk asked.

His biggest worry was that Maywyn would use her ability to rewind time to find out the true nature of his relationship with Enya at no cost.

"Got it!"

"Remember this! Don't let her trick you into revealing anything."

Kroenke leaned back in his chair, tilted his head back, closed his eyes, and brushed his hair from his forehead with his right hand.

Admittedly, Meiwen is an obstacle that cannot be avoided.

but……

Krenk opened his eyes again.

One thing is clear: she has no concrete evidence and can only resort to such radical methods to expose herself.

And more importantly...

[Spirit Lv30 (0/2150)]

[Mana: Lv29 (580/1280)]

Her leveling speed couldn't keep up with his.

From the night I traveled here until now, it has been a total of three days.

He had already grown from a second-tier early-stage archmage to a third-tier level.

This growth rate, on average at St. Auster Magic Academy, would take nearly two years.

Even the most outstanding ones, such as Enya, need almost a year to complete.

Even if the experience points required for subsequent upgrades increase, this efficiency is still close to cheating.

Therefore, in terms of strength, there is no need to worry about Meiwen posing a threat to him for the time being.

So what I need to do next is to complete the research on the theory of the common origin of magic and completely overshadow the brilliance of the theory of elemental affinity.

Secondly, one should raise one's true strength to the same level as one's public image, which is the fifth rank.

This will solidify his image as a genius scholar.

Even if she possessed the ability to rewind time and obtained more compelling evidence to prove that her theory of elemental affinity was plagiarized, it would be to no avail.

It's like a super-rich person who, even if you're told by his own mouth that he's wearing fakes, you'll just laugh it off and take it as a joke.

Krenk categorized the threat of death to Mewon as particularly important but not urgent.

Then, he looked at Enya:

"Have you prepared your teaching assistant application form?"

"yes!"

Enya handed the application form, which she had been hiding behind her back, to Krenk with both hands.

"All you need to do is sign your name!"

"it is good."

Kroenke took the application form, glanced at it briefly, and then wrote his signature at the bottom.

"Does your family have a laboratory?" Krenk asked.

"Huh? Teacher, why are you asking that?"

"Do you have it?"

"Um, there is one, but it's not mine."

"Not yours?"

Enya explained, "My younger sister uses it. She's starting school next year, so the family gave her the lab." Enya thought for a moment and repeated her initial question, "Teacher, why are you asking this?"

"Do you remember the theory of the common origin of magic that I mentioned at the opening ceremony?"

"Remember."

"This is Krenk's work, but I can't find his previous experimental data, only the conclusions," Krenk said, speaking from the perspective of 'V'.

"Although we have reached a conclusion and the experimental data can be used to shoot the arrow first and then draw the target, if I enter his laboratory again, it may arouse suspicion from the outside world. Therefore, the best way is to find another laboratory and conduct the experiment in secret."

Images of her family flashed through Enya's mind. She hesitated for a rare moment before nodding immediately.

"No...no problem!"

Kroenke misunderstood Enya's hesitation, adding:

"Don't worry, your name will be listed as a co-author when the paper is published."

Enya's golden eyes stared at Krenk, momentarily stunned, then widened instantly:

"Eh!!!"

Enya was speechless.

"Me...me?!?!"

Theories like the theory of the common origin of magic, which are destined to go down in history once published, how could a mere second-year student like her possibly be worthy of being named a co-author?

If this really happens, her name will appear on the first page of textbooks from now on.

"That's right, I plan to make you the second author."

Krenk knew that to make a horse run, you had to feed it hay.

"The theory of the common origin of magic? Me? A second-rate author?!?"

Enya was stunned, as if she had been hit by a pie falling from the sky; she was still a little dazed.

"This...this...this isn't quite right, after all...it's all your hard work, teacher..."

"It belongs to Kroenke, not me. To maintain the Kroenke identity, I must complete his remaining work." Kroenke shook his finger.

"This is part of the plan."

"A...plan?" Enya nodded as if she understood. "Okay, Professor Krenk, I...I'll ask my family."

Kroenke pressed his advantage, gazing at Enya with deep, alluring eyes, pressing down on her shoulders and applying just the right amount of pressure:

"Besides, in this academy, you're the only one I can trust."

Looking at this face that practically screamed "beauty," Enya's blush deepened, and she swallowed hard.

"Don't worry, Professor Krenk! Even if it means death, I will complete the task you have given me!"

Krenk thought Enya was being too extreme: "Death is unnecessary..."

Enya, as if injected with adrenaline, exclaimed, "Yes! I will not die!"

"...Alright, go ahead."

"Yes, teacher, I'll be going now!"

Enya, clutching her application materials for teaching assistantship, ran briskly out of the office.

You have increased Enya's favorability towards you.
