Chris sensed a hidden meaning in his words and snorted irritably, "Just eat yours then, it won't poison you."

Wayne lifted his leg and stepped onto the rock where Chris was standing, facing her directly.

Years have passed, and Wayne's height has increased dramatically; he is now a head taller than Chris.

She took a slightly awkward step back, her tone fierce but actually menacing, and said, "What, trying to show off how tall you are?"

Wayne chuckled, “My shoes are behind you, so of course I’ll come up from here.”

Chris then remembered that Wayne had taken off his coat, shoes, and socks under a big tree by the stream before going into the water.

Feeling a little embarrassed, she shoved the wooden bucket into his arms.

"I'll go put it on first, you can come over after you've dried yourself!"

Wayne looked down and saw that all the crabs in the barrel were piled up, their pincers crossed, crawling around inside.

……

In the evening, the steamed crabs were taken out of the steamer.

They were arranged neatly in a circle, lying motionless in the dish.

Before being served, these crabs have already been processed by the kitchen. With just a gentle pry, the shell on the abdomen will fall off, revealing the delicious crab meat.

"How pitiful."

Wayne took a big, happy bite.

At the end of summer vacation, he and Chris were vacationing at a villa in the suburbs.

Because of the upcoming school entrance exams, there was no homework, and the holidays were exceptionally long, so the two of them enjoyed a carefree period of time.

"We have to go back to the capital tomorrow... and the day after tomorrow, we have to report to the academy headquarters."

Chris said in a very calm tone.

If it weren't for the extra force with which she devoured the food, Wayne wouldn't have been able to tell that she was excited.

“Yes,” he agreed.

Finally, the gears of fate are about to begin turning...

Will Chris Wincher be able to escape the fate of being a wicked heiress and find true happiness?

—Of course, that's possible.

With the script so convincing, how can we lose?

Wayne has already made up his mind. The first thing he will do when school starts is to create an opportunity to get close to the original female lead.

The program at this university is a four-year program. My senior, Olive, graduated with excellent grades two years ago and successfully stayed on as a teacher.

As soon as I get back tomorrow, I'll go find her and pull some strings to get myself and Chris put in the same class as the original female lead.

Plan ·jpg

It seems that years of exposure in the Lily Society have taught me quite a bit.

Before this, Wayne had secretly inquired about information regarding "light magic".

Aside from brief descriptions such as "extremely rare" and "blessed by God," there was no useful information.

The only certainty is that this magic is incredibly powerful, and very few people in history have ever possessed it, and they seem to have no connection to each other.

"Wayne, if... I mean if, in the future you find a girl you truly like, will you hate me because of her?"

Chris asked, her expression conflicted and puzzled.

Wayne stopped using his fork.

"Will not."

Hmph, getting anxious and indecisive, aren't you?

He was secretly pleased.

However, Chris's tone quickly changed.

"Hmm... Come to think of it, I'm so popular, no one would dislike me," she said confidently.

Throughout her life, she was undoubtedly one of the leading ladies among the noblewomen.

No matter where she was, there were always girls, some she had seen before, some she hadn't, some she knew, and some she didn't, fluttering around her like butterflies drawn to nectar.

In a sense, Chris has just as many admirers among the girls as the prince.

"Speaking of which, His Highness is still searching everywhere for that mysterious person named 'Aikos,' and he seems to really like her," Chris suddenly said with a smile.

Upon hearing this, Wayne's expression instantly contorted as if he had eaten spoiled food.

Please! Don't bring this up!

To avoid any unnecessary complications, he has been trying his best to avoid transforming in the outside world.

In other words, there has been no news about Aikos in the capital for five whole years since her last appearance.

But His Highness was not discouraged at all; on the contrary, he became even more determined.

Every girl who confessed her feelings to him was rejected by him without exception, with the reason that "he already has someone else in his heart and only loves one person in his life," and they have not been engaged to this day.

"His Highness is so devoted!"

Chris exclaimed.

Wien picked up his knife and fork in indignation and continued eating.

Chapter 92 The Storm Is Brewing

The next day was sunny.

Wayne took action.

Using Mr. Conley's name, he secretly slipped into the school, which was not yet open to the public.

Walking on the main road, wide enough for at least four carriages to travel side by side, Wayne couldn't help but feel impressed. All the buildings and facilities here were far superior to those in the primary and junior high schools.

It can be said that this is where the entire kingdom invests the most in education.

Senior Olive... no, now we should call her Teacher Olive.

She should be an indisputable figure of influence.

Whether it was applying to establish the student council and serving as its first president, or staying on after graduation to become a teacher to younger students.

Last year, she was an assistant lecturer, only responsible for supporting courses. This year, she was honorably promoted to a full-fledged lecturer, setting a record as the youngest lecturer in the school's history.

It should be noted that in the past, Qingxi Academy only considered hiring those who had rich teaching experience and seniority in other magic academies.

What's most surprising is that in an academy, a place that values ​​family background and lineage the most, she was able to do all this not because of her privileged birth.

Her family was just an ordinary low-ranking noble family, nothing special in the royal capital where nobles were everywhere.

Her achievements stemmed entirely from her exceptional magical abilities.

Of course, there might also be the influence of Professor Conley and the Winchester family's ambiguous yet friendly attitude, which is something beyond the stated reasons.

As soon as he entered the office, Wayne put on a very deceptive, bright smile.

"Senior Sister!"

Olive looked up at him unexpectedly.

"Oh, it's Wayne. What's up?"

He and Olive weren't particularly close, but because of Professor Conley's connection, they were quite familiar with each other.

Wayne glanced around.

The academy's teachers' offices, as luxurious as the entire building, had individual cubicles spaced far apart. If someone spoke in a low voice, they would likely be inaudible unless they listened very carefully.

Seeing that there was no one around and no one was paying attention to them, Wayne whispered, "Senior sister, I would like to ask you for a favor."

Olive's brow twitched.

"What is it?"

"Could you arrange for Chris and me to be in the same class as a new student named Tasia Louis?" Wayne said mysteriously. "It shouldn't be too difficult."

Olive breathed a sigh of relief.

"It can be done."

At first glance, I thought it was some major event that even the Winchester family couldn't handle, but it turned out to be just such a small request.

Wayne said happily, "That's great, thank you, senior sister. I'll treat you to a meal next time."

“Wayne, next time we meet, you’d better call me Ms. Olive.”

She will be serving as the homeroom teacher for one of the new classes at the academy, and it will be necessary for her to maintain a certain level of authority in front of the students.

"Okay, senior sister, goodbye."

Wayne waved to her.

"Sigh—" Olive shook her head helplessly and continued to prepare her enrollment materials at her desk.

It is easy to make some changes to the class rankings before submitting the list to the council for approval.

Out of consideration for her junior brother Wayne's rare request for a favor, Olive helped him find information on Tasia Louis.

"civilian?"

Olive was initially surprised when she saw the message.

Then she saw a sentence in the notes.

[A possessor of light magic, a key individual to watch!]

"Light magic... No way..." she murmured in utter astonishment.

That's an extremely rare magical attribute that hasn't appeared in nearly a century.

She hesitated for a moment, then added a stroke to the commoner's class number, changing it from F to E. However, there was no trace of the alteration in the records.

In other words, she knew that Wayne was always reliable and would never bully the weak like some nobles, otherwise she would never have helped him.

After putting the documents away again, Olive stretched her graceful waist, habitually took off the hair clip from her forehead, combed her hair a few times, and then put it back on.

……

The school's chairman's office.

"This is the list of new students admitted this time. The classes have been assigned, and it will be posted after your approval."

A mature woman in her thirties, dressed in a very formal business uniform and wearing high heels, placed a stack of documents on the chairman's desk.

Behind the desk, the chairman turned the leather seat back from facing the floor-to-ceiling window.

He picked up the list, grabbed the magnifying glass from the table, and began browsing through the entries one by one.

"Tasia Louise, Class E."

He saw the name.

"Let's move her to Class F," the chairman suddenly said.

"Huh? Why?" The woman looked surprised.

The final step before the chairman is basically just a formality; I can't even remember how many years it's been since the list was last adjusted.

"Because this is His Majesty the King's request."

The chairman put down the list and the magnifying glass, then turned back to observe the view outside the floor-to-ceiling window.

"Light magic... Can she bring change to this lifeless capital?"

His voice was so soft it was almost inaudible.

……

Royal Palace.

"Richard, you're not a child anymore."

That's what the man who holds the highest power in this country said.
