My older sister is a villainous rich girl

“How can this be called extortion? It’s clearly a consensual transaction!” Conley said emphatically.

"This trip not only got back the unsettled prop fees and attendance fees, but also made a lot of extra money. Your student council's most pressing problem has also been solved, and everyone got what they wanted."

Kang Li suddenly realized that there was still much to be done about his newly accepted disciple, and the world was vast and full of opportunities!

"Only magic can defeat magic, and only nobles can defeat nobles," he exclaimed.

I was too old-fashioned before; I wish I had thought of this sooner.

Unfortunately, Duke Elliott's daughter's magic was too weak to meet his requirements; otherwise, the price could have been at least doubled.

"Teacher Kang Li."

Suddenly, a boy's voice rang out behind him.

Wayne had intended to come out and see them off to their carriage, but he happened to overhear Professor Conley's smug self-praise.

I'm always the one taking advantage of others; no one can take advantage of me!

Nobody's here!

He smiled with an innocent and harmless expression.

“If we go through the process of getting the academy approved by using the name of the Wincher family sponsorship, we can avoid a lot of disputes. At the same time, the student council can also save a lot of money.”

Hearing him say that, Olive felt a little embarrassed.

Hoping that the school council would allocate funds to build an activity room for them might mean waiting until they graduate without ever seeing it.

“I am truly grateful for your help,” Olive said. “If you need any assistance, you can come to the student council to find me.”

"That's exactly what I was waiting for," Wayne hummed in agreement and said he would go when he had time.

“My father said the funds will be in place next week. When would be a convenient time for you to start teaching?” he asked Conley.

"Hmm." Conley pondered for a moment and said, "Starting tomorrow, you'll be reporting to my lab during your free time."

"Huh? But I still have club activities."

“How could club activities be more important than magic!” Conley said without thinking.

Wayne's lips parted slightly, but he ultimately said firmly, "No, it's that important to me."

"Don't you want to become the world's strongest magician?" Conley mocked.

He even gave me a look that said, "I knew it, I knew you wouldn't stick it out."

"Alright then, club activities aren't that important anyway."

Wayne tolerated it.

He just wanted to see what level of combat power he could reach at his peak without using the special abilities of a magical girl.

'If you dare to make empty promises, I'll go and shave your head in the middle of the night!' Wayne thought bitterly.

Conley, completely unaware that his hair was in dire straits, nodded with great satisfaction to Wayne.

Chapter 86 Your Highness!

"Beep beep beep... beep... beep beep..."

In an inconspicuous, empty classroom, a secret meeting is being held.

All the attendees were dressed in black pointed cloaks and wore masks, obscuring their true faces.

"News Item 1: Recently, the relationship between Lord Wayne and Lord Geli has progressed rapidly. Someone saw them having lunch together at a tea restaurant in the public service area, seemingly plotting something."

Another mysterious person said, "Second piece of information: When Lord Wayne was in tutoring class, he often finished his test papers ahead of time and kept jotting something down on scratch paper. I casually walked past him and saw the title 'Prince Richard's Conquest Plan'."

"News item three: Someone saw Lord Wayne handing a stack of bound draft papers to Lord Geli after class one day, but the contents of the papers are currently unknown."

After gathering information from various sources, the pointed-cloaked figures present exclaimed in unison, "Could it be! Lord Wayne wants to withdraw from this forbidden love with His Highness the Prince!"

"Our Beautiful Boys' Love Protection Association will absolutely not allow such a thing to happen!" the crowd declared.

At this moment, a girl said timidly, "But didn't His Highness say that he had already fallen in love with another woman at first sight?"

"Idiot! That must be an excuse His Highness made up to reject other people's confessions because the other person's magic is powerful and they appear and disappear unpredictably!"

A taller girl with a higher-pitched voice exclaimed excitedly.

"Or perhaps you've developed doubts about His Highness's chastity and want to leave our Beautiful Boys' Love Protection Association?!"

Unbeknownst to them, the atmosphere had turned somber.

"Eh?"

Seeing the dark, unwavering gazes directed at her in the dim light, the less assertive girl stammered, "I...of course I didn't doubt His Highness..."

"That's good!"

It seemed that the one in the pointed cloak who was leading the group had made the conclusion.

"In short, we must thwart Lord Wayne's plan to desert his post, and that third party, Gothel Edgeworth, must be suppressed!"

The remaining pointed cloaks responded with high spirits.

"Roar!"

……

Have you finished reading all the guides I gave you?

At the corner of the stairs, Wayne reiterated to Goth the importance of his strategies.

"I've finished reading it..."

Ge Li hesitated before saying, "But, will those methods really work?"

“Of course!” Wayne said confidently. “Trust me, a professional, I can’t go wrong!”

What a joke! Those are the essence of my watching countless anime since I was a child. Countless famous characters have fallen for such beautiful scenes. Wouldn't it be easy to make an ordinary Mary Sue character like Prince Richard?

Wayne gently nudged her shoulder and whispered, "His Highness is here, get ready!"

Ge Li immediately pressed himself against the armrest, peering at the other end to see what was happening.

His Highness was carrying a small booklet and was slowly walking up the stairs.

Ge Li gritted his teeth, tore open a piece of bread that he had prepared in advance, and put it in his mouth.

With the encouragement in Wayne's clear eyes, she gathered her strength and prepared to rush down.

"His Royal Highness Prince!"

Suddenly, a girl shouted, stopping Richard in his tracks.

On the stairs, the prince turned around in confusion. "What's wrong?"

"Is this your handkerchief?"

The girl held up what she was holding.

Richard lowered his head, felt his pocket, and pulled out half a small white handkerchief.

He shook his head and said, "It's not mine."

On the stairs, Ge Li let out a long sigh and exchanged a glance with Wayne.

'That was close, thank goodness I didn't rush straight down.'

"Oh, I see. Then it might belong to someone else... I'll go ask around elsewhere. Sorry." The girl left apologetically.

His Highness turned around, lifted his leg, and prepared to continue upstairs.

Wayne spoke silently, "Get ready!"

Ge Li's heart tightened, and he leaned forward slightly again.

Just as she was about to rush out recklessly, another voice suddenly came from downstairs.

"His Royal Highness Prince!"

Richard stopped in his tracks. "Hmm?"

Another girl appeared behind him.

The girl looked hesitant and said, "Just now, I saw the head of student affairs downstairs. He seemed to want to talk to you about something..."

Halfway up the stairs, Ge Li gripped the handrail tightly, extremely agitated.

She almost bit off a piece of the bread in her mouth.

Wayne gestured to her with his eyes, suggesting that she not rush and wait for the other person to finish speaking before taking action.

"Okay, I see him after I go back and put my things away."

Richard said nonchalantly.

He then quickened his pace, taking three steps at a time to climb the stairs, wanting to get back to the classroom first.

"Charge!" Wayne raised his hand and gestured with a raised eyebrow.

Ge Li, like an arrow released from a bow, rushed out like the wind, bread in his mouth.

"That's right!"

His Highness seemed to suddenly remember something and turned around.

"Whoosh—" A gust of wind blew past from behind.

"Hmm?" Richard was puzzled for a moment. "Did something just pass by?"

"...No, no, right?"

“Never mind.” Richard didn’t dwell on the matter. “I’d better go see him first; there’s something very important I need to tell him.”

Upstairs, Wayne covered his eyes, unable to bear watching.

……

Back in the classroom, he saw Ge Li slumped on his desk, his entire body ashen.

"It's alright, don't be discouraged. Maybe this strategy just isn't right for you. But we have many other different plans, just try the next one," Wayne comforted him.

"Like singing on an empty rooftop?" Ge Li said listlessly.

Mentioning this strategy, Wayne became excited. "Yes, when he hears singing in the corridor, he'll be curious and go up to see what the girl making such a beautiful voice looks like. Then, he'll see that slender and delicate figure in the sunset, and then... he'll quickly fall in love."

Ge Li looked at him with an expression of pity for someone with intellectual disabilities: "You're two floors away. You can't hear her singing from the rooftop at all."

Oh no, that was a miscalculation!

“Uh…” Wayne tried to salvage the situation, “So, like last time, you played alone in the orchestra room?”

Ascletis reluctantly agreed to the revised plan with some skepticism.

then.

After a day of classes, Wayne, under the pretext of wanting to learn more about Professor Conley's research, kept dragging the prince into discussing the application of magic in daily life.

When it's almost time...

"Oh, right!" Wayne exclaimed as if suddenly realizing something. "Professor Conley is waiting for me to report to his lab. I have to go now."

He hurriedly packed up his paper and pen. "Richard, let's continue our discussion tomorrow."

After saying those words, Wayne disappeared from the classroom in the blink of an eye.

His Highness did not doubt his intentions, but sighed helplessly and slowly walked out of the classroom.

Strolling down the somewhat empty corridor, Richard stretched his arms in a relaxed manner, preparing to leave the teaching building.

But from the other side of the corner came the beautiful sound of musical instruments.

Richard stood there and listened quietly for a while.

He smiled and sighed softly, "The orchestra must be practicing hard again. They're really putting in the effort."

Then, without turning his head—

I went downstairs and left.

Wien, hiding behind the door of an empty classroom, stared wide-eyed at the scene before him in disbelief.

"How is that possible! How could an anime protagonist perfectly avoid choosing options that advance the plot when faced with such a typical romance scenario!"
