My older sister is a villainous rich girl

“Chris…”

Tasia's eyes were slightly dark, and she tried again to ask her friend for help.

She didn't dare tell anyone directly about the existence of this mysterious teacher, so she could only use vague descriptions to fabricate another man, saying that he was a new friend she had met by chance.

"It didn't work at all?" Chris frowned.

Tasia seemed to have many concerns about this matter, so much so that even if she wanted to get close to the other party, she had to take various roundabout approaches.

It was only after he noticed that Tasia had been somewhat absent-minded lately, and after repeatedly pressing her, that she revealed a little bit of the situation, and she emphasized that she absolutely must not mention it to anyone else.

As a result, he could only offer advice in complete ignorance.

"Didn't that person show any appreciation for Tasia at all?" she asked, still somewhat incredulous.

It wasn't that she suspected Tasia was lying, but rather... if she put herself in that person's shoes and faced with Tasia's seemingly healing smile, she probably wouldn't have the heart to refuse such a small request.

Tasia shook her head. "I don't know..."

"Sometimes, he would talk to me about magical knowledge and say I was very smart... Does that count?"

Chris was speechless.

This probably doesn't count, right?

"Why don't you just go straight for it!" she slammed her hand on the table. "Grab him, pin him down, and then say to him menacingly—you have ten seconds! Tell me your name, age, address, identity, family background, and marital status right now!"

Tasia stopped her, blushing deeply: "That's not allowed!"

"And...and I don't even want to know these things." She didn't know how to describe her feelings.

She just thought that maybe as long as she could see his face, she wouldn't have to be tormented by those bizarre fantasies anymore.

What's particularly painful is that she also really likes the story of "Mr. Mask" and reads every single issue.

“In short, I want to get to know him in a real sense,” she said, “and then… ideally, I’d like to discover some of his unbearable flaws.”

Although he was a good teacher, Tasia wished he wasn't so perfect.

At least, don't be too similar to the perfect image you imagine yourself to be.

This way, I can distinguish him from my ideal person and not always wonder if he is the "masked man" himself.

Upon hearing this, Chris's expression became even more complicated.

"Let me confirm first, do you really like him?" she asked abruptly.

Tasia was stunned for a moment, then her face flushed red.

"N-No, that's not it! It's not about liking someone!"

Chapter 535 I didn't mean to hold you back

"If I had to say, it would just be a little bit of curiosity."

Tasia shook her fingers vigorously.

Seeing her resolute denial, Chris found it slightly amusing.

"Being curious about someone is often the beginning of your downfall, isn't it?"

After making a joke, Chris quickly added seriously, "However, it's good to be vigilant; it's very difficult to fully understand a person."

Even if we get to know each other, it's only the beginning.

She found it hard to imagine that she would develop such a strong interest in someone she barely knew, so she couldn't really understand the other person's feelings.

Even with Wayne... if it weren't for the fact that we grew up together and that I had a thorough understanding of him both in the story and in reality, I probably would never have had the thought of "wanting to live with him in the future".

Before she could even feel "like," worry and fear would always overwhelm her.

But she still hopes that her friend Tasia can find happiness.

Being able to fall passionately in love with someone is a precious ability, isn't it?

……

"Dear students! After discussion between Ms. Olive and me, our class will be participating in an on-campus enrichment program next week, along with students from two other classes."

The homeroom teacher, Xie Li, happily announced this news to everyone from the podium.

"Professor Olive will be the main speaker, and teachers from other colleges will also be attending as observers. We hope everyone will cooperate and participate enthusiastically!"

As a shining example of Kingdom Education, Qingxi Academy occasionally holds courses open to the public.

However, although it is nominally "open to the public", the number of invitations is not so easy to obtain, so in reality it is only a selective and biased part of the public.

Upon hearing this news, cheers and jeers erupted in the classroom.

Other additional content was unimportant to the students, but Ms. Olive was a popular beauty and well-known throughout the grade.

"Ahhh, this is amazing! It's Ms. Olive~" Gavin was practically jumping for joy.

He had long coveted the experience of being taught by Olive, and had even seriously planned whether to pretend to encounter some difficulties in his studies and then deliberately seek Olive's help.

But the plan was ultimately shelved due to the double blow of his bad friend Wayne and his own poor academic performance.

Wayne's attention, however, was drawn to another key point.

...along with the other two classes?

Sherley gave everyone ample time to vent their emotions, and only continued with supplementary explanations after the noise in the classroom gradually subsided.

As expected, what you fear most is what happens; Ge Li's class was one of them.

This type of large class is not common and is usually for less important extracurricular activities. Neither teachers nor students usually pay much attention to it, so it is quite unexpected that it would be used as an open class.

After all, this kind of exchange inherently includes the meaning of "promoting externally and learning together".

hiss~

Wayne would be grateful if Gore and Chris didn't fight in public.

When that day came, before Ge Li could even pick a fight with Chris, Chris took the initiative and charged straight at him.

"Oh my~ Miss Kareem, it's been so long~"

After everyone arrived at the large lecture hall in another building, she approached Ge Li in a greasy tone.

Ge Li glanced at her but ignored her.

Seeing that she was about to continue provoking him, Wayne quickly stepped forward and pulled her back: "Class is about to start..."

Chris was all geared up, ready to unleash her full potential and get revenge for what happened last time, but Wayne jumped out and forcibly stopped her. She resisted strongly and tried to shake him off: "Class hasn't started yet, has it?"

The voices were very soft, and the movements were not large, indicating that they did not want the internal strife to be exposed to everyone.

“But there are already unfamiliar teachers sitting in the back…” he said in a low voice.

Seeing this, Ge Li smirked and said sarcastically, "Gentlemen, could you please reach a consensus before causing trouble? It's very impolite of me to just wait here for you to put on a show."

Chris gritted her teeth angrily, but in the end she was unable to break free of Wayne's grip and was pulled to sit down on the other side.

So she started to get angry at Wayne.

"Don't talk to me!"

Chris turned her face away, refusing to speak, and shut him up before he could say anything.

"Oh dear~ what's wrong with Chris?" Gavin, who was sitting next to her, chimed in with his cheeky remarks.

As Olive had instructed before class, everyone sat down in small groups, seemingly to form a basis for the course.

Wayne gave him a silent warning glare, signaling him not to say anything out of line.

Sensing the threat in Wayne's eyes, Gavin seemed to understand something and immediately clenched his lips.

"I don't mean to hold you back, I just don't want others to misunderstand you..."

"I don't care if they misunderstand or not, anyway, my reputation wasn't very good to begin with!" she said defiantly.

However, Wayne, who knew her very well, keenly sensed that she had reluctantly accepted his explanation and was no longer as angry as before.

Wayne gently tugged at her hand under the table, then said nothing more.

Fortunately, this little incident didn't last long. As Olive, dressed formally for the day, walked into the classroom, the room quickly quieted down.

"Hello students, I will be teaching you this lesson."

Olive looked around and smiled slightly when she saw her junior brother Wayne clapping enthusiastically in the audience.

Although most of the attendees were pampered aristocratic children, there were too many hidden talents in the academy, so regardless of their private lives, everyone was good at putting on a show in public.

After the teacher and students greeted each other, Olive briefly introduced herself and then got straight to the point.

"Actually, I actively sought out this class," she said.

"The three invited classes generally adopted a group cooperative learning approach, but there were some differences in the rules between the classes."

"The class led by Ms. Xie Li was the first to adopt this grouping method. However, the other two classes gradually explored similar yet different paths. After this period of learning, I think we can, to some extent, determine which experience is more suitable for wider acceptance."

Hearing this, Wayne basically understood.

This class is mostly designed to "promote advanced teaching experience".

Chapter 536 "Ultra-Large Magic Strength Detection Chamber"

For Seiki Academy, protecting the interests of the nobility is its fundamental purpose, but cultivating more talents is also its original intention.

As long as it can cultivate more outstanding magicians, the academy is not stingy in making small improvements to the existing rules.

Watching Olive speak eloquently at the lectern, Wayne subconsciously twirled the pen in his hand.

If her classes are qualified to be used to test the advancement of teaching methods, does that mean that she is also an important figure who is favored by the school's higher-ups?

Although Olive has some private collaborations with the Wincher family, the two sides do not seem to have a very close relationship.

Moreover, the main power of the Wincher family is concentrated in the military aristocracy, and their influence on Seiki Academy is very small.

Who is her backer on the school council?

For some reason, he thought of the ambiguous "collusion" between Chairman Harold and his own teacher.

Olive used the existing groups in each class and began assigning problems.

She walked to a corner of the classroom, lifted a black curtain, and revealed three pieces of equipment, each about the height of a person, hidden behind it.

"—This is a new product improved from the ordinary 'magic strength detector', and it is called the 'super large magic strength detection chamber'."

Wayne's lips twitched helplessly.

Hearing this naming style, he knew that this thing was most likely another invention by Professor Conley.

Perhaps having the same thought as him, Tasia, who was sitting not far to his side, turned her head slightly and glanced at him in a very small way.

Tasia's mother is recovering quite well with the help of the [Super-Powered Health Treatment Chamber], and she has expressed her gratitude to herself many times.

Fortunately, her family's bakery was already quite well-known, and many neighbors and regular customers generously offered their help. With the help of new employees, the bakery was able to keep operating, albeit with some difficulty.

"Because there are no conditions that allow everyone to make a direct judgment, we can only rely on instruments to assist in the proof."

Wayne suddenly began to suspect that this might be another scheme by the teacher to generate revenue.

If every other college were willing to purchase a batch of these instruments, it would obviously be another source of revenue.

“It can analyze the intensity of the magic beam in detail and prevent it from overflowing the field,” Olive said. “This can save a lot of time and energy for advanced magicians, so they don’t have to personally go down into the field to check the students’ magical learning results one by one.”

Magicians are rare and are a very precious resource.

Even though there's no shortage of people in a magic academy, no one would refuse if a more time-saving and labor-saving tool could be provided.

The Kingdom of Lornes was able to successfully establish a magic academy, replacing the traditional one-on-one teaching method with a one-to-many teaching format, which was closely related to the innovation of these tools.

"...Furthermore, it can not only detect the magic strength of a single person, but also set additional levels to detect the total magic strength and coordination of multiple people. Therefore, it can also be used to observe the overall performance of different groups."

"By the way, the strategy is also very important. Only the team with the strongest overall strength has a chance of winning, right?"

Olive then demonstrated it herself.

A distinct rectangular magic field appeared above the instrument in the middle.

Looking at this thing, Wayne suddenly remembered a task his teacher had assigned him some time ago—

One afternoon, Conley mysteriously approached him.
