Magical Cat

"What does 'elf enthusiast' mean?" Corbyn asked, frowning.

Although he had never heard the word before, he understood its meaning.

"Furthermore, who says the Tree of Life can give birth to elves? That's just hearsay!"

Corbyn was muttering to himself when he suddenly froze, looking at Lee En in surprise.

"Were you talking the whole time? No, it was demonic thoughts!" Cobra immediately realized what he meant.

Li En was also taken aback. He hadn't seen Kao Brian for several days and had somewhat forgotten whether he had spoken to him before. He subconsciously used his demonic thoughts to communicate.

Judging from Brian's reaction, this should be the first time Lee has spoken to him.

"Well……"

Li En pondered how to argue his point, and then decided to simply pretend it never happened.

Anyway, Brian is getting old, so it's normal for the old man to have some auditory hallucinations.

In particular, this old man always loves to stay up late.

Li Endang didn't hear what Kao Brian said, and looked away guiltily, as if nothing had happened.

He carefully examined the room and discovered that the area that had been razed to the ground had been completely restored, almost exactly the same as before.

This is why Li En didn't realize it at first.

"Wow, the academy's construction team is amazing!"

He then remembered that part of the reason he was able to concentrate on his cultivation before was because Corbyn's room had been destroyed.

Now I remember, I remember everything.

"I remember there was also a teacher from the Civil Engineering Department. Goodness, they've secured all the project funds in just a few days."

The earth-elemental teacher, Parker, left a deep impression on Li En.

Seeing that Li En was pretending not to know what he was doing, he curiously looked around the room, and Corbyn grabbed him by the scruff of the neck.

"Don't play dumb with me. Where did you learn to talk like that?" Corbyn's eyes were full of curiosity.

Li En continued to pretend to be mute.

His ability to communicate with demonic thoughts was obtained through a contract with the Tongxin Society, so it's difficult to pinpoint its source.

Melina's organization is suspicious in every way, so it's best not to let others know about this relationship.

Li En refused to speak, determined to get away with being cute, staring with her big, innocent eyes, looking pitiful as if she had been frightened by Corbyn.

Watching Lee Eun's effortless acting, Corbyn's eye twitched.

"You're much more cunning than you seem!"

I used to think Brian was just smart, but I never imagined he could be so "cunning" as to take advantage of my cuteness. He's such a bad cat.

"Hmph, fine, don't tell me if you don't want to, but I'm not so foolish as to be deceived by you, little kitten. A magician's brain doesn't rust away with age!"

After saying that, Corbyn couldn't help but sigh softly, "We're just getting more and more stubborn..."

Seeing the way Corbyn stared blankly at the Seed of Life, Li En knew there must be some story behind it.

But just as Cobra couldn't control whether or not Lee would talk to him, Lee couldn't force Cobra to reveal the true purpose of his experimental research.

"Melina said that the Seed of Life is related to the breeding of elves. Could her information be wrong too?"

Li En could sense that Corbyn's earlier answer was subconscious and not calculated; otherwise, he wouldn't have been so surprised by Li En's subsequent words.

Li En was also very curious about why he was so obsessed with the Seed of Life.

Li En yawned widely, appearing as if nothing had happened, but his mind was racing.

Seeing that he was pretending to be stupid, Corbyn sighed to himself and didn't pursue the matter further.

"Forget it, I suppose you're not as simple as you seem. But I advise you to keep a low profile. If someone with ulterior motives finds out that a commoner sponsored by a government official possesses such an extraordinary magical beast as you, it will definitely cause trouble."

"Behave yourself until you have enough power to protect yourself."

Cobra patted Lee's head.

Although the old man was dedicated to his research and had a somewhat eccentric temper, Li En could sense that Corbyn was not a bad person.

"You'd better cooperate with my research and stop running around."

Kobryan's true colors were revealed.

Li En gave the old man a big eye roll.

He was also trying to find a solution; he couldn't let himself be dragged in for research every night, disturbing his sweet dreams.

Li En had been practicing on his own for a while, and his daily routine had long since returned to normal.

But now that Brian has dragged me here, I'll probably turn into a night owl again sooner or later.

"This old man slacks off during class and spends the rest of his time buried in research. How can we find something else for him to do?"

Li En pondered.

He had some peace and quiet a few days ago because his dorm room was destroyed and he was also harassed by the family of that old woman, Fobbitt.

"That old hag gave Elaine a hard time before. She's a complete scoundrel with no professional ethics, and she even tried to capture this cat..."

Li En's eyes darted around, and an idea vaguely surfaced in his mind.

He didn't seek revenge on the old woman before because the two were far too weak; it would have been tantamount to suicide.

The fact that the old woman was beaten up by Corbyn doesn't mean she's a loser.

The lowest-ranking teachers at the Royal Magic Academy are all first-tier mages.

Li En and Elaine are currently the lowest-level magic apprentices, not even considered formal novice magicians, the kind who can't even register with the Adventurers' Guild.

But what happened last time gave Lee an idea.

You don't necessarily have to deal with a powerful enemy yourself. As long as you use the power you have, you can eventually achieve your goal.

"Oh dear, I should have studied harder, at least I should have read all thirty-six stratagems properly."

Li En was, after all, just a college student who had never left campus. Although he was smart enough to come up with some ideas, he was completely clueless about how to implement them.

He felt that it was a feasible plan to get the old woman properly dealt with by leveraging the resources of the college and the teachers, but he didn't have a concrete idea of ​​how to do it.

At that moment, Li En suddenly remembered a sentence.

"When something is so difficult that you don't know where to start, don't just think of solutions; first, find out the facts and understand the whole story."

This is something he said to one of his favorite politics teachers in junior high school.

This teacher enjoys chatting with students in his spare time, making his lessons lively and interesting, which is why he is so popular with his students.

This quote is a famous saying, but Li En couldn't remember who said it. However, he inexplicably remembered this quote.

"It seems I need to find an opportunity to figure out the old woman's daily routine and see if there are any loopholes I can exploit."

Li En's eyes darted around, and he came up with a preliminary plan.

He looked at Corbyn in front of him and couldn't help but ask again, "What do you think of that old woman, Forbitt?"

Although Cobra was surprised that Lee Enken had spoken to him again, the topic was really offensive.

"What do you mean, 'how should I look at that old woman'?"

"Can't you talk about something serious, you little kitten!"
