Taming The Villainesses novel Chapter 74

(EP-74.2) Aftermath #3

074 – Clean Up and Aftermath #3

「Shocking! Witch Professor Balan (32 Years Old, Single), Found To Be A Grave Robber-.」

「A Game Of Chess Resulting In Violence...? A Need For Regulation On Violent Games Spreading Inside The Ark-.」

「Nymph Hate Crime? Or A Simple Crime?」

There were quite a lot of appealing articles...

Anyway, I picked one of them and read it.

「Professor Balan got possessed by a forbidden power during her visit to the ruins as a child. She was manipulated by it and forced to do its bidding, committing atrocious crimes.

Professor Balan’s punishment has already been decided, but if her lifelong study of ‘Anti-Magic Spell’ is recognized as a show of will to resist the evil force controlling her, the level of the punishment can be minimized.」

「5th Rank Elga Von Lioness, 6th Rank Mirna Von Draco and one more person subdued Professor Balan-.」

... Why was I called just ‘one more person’?

In any case, only what needed to be revealed was revealed, and what should be buried was buried.

When the situation was all set and done, the fact that this matter wasn’t disclosed as something related to Demon King Angmar probably meant the Church’s upper echelon had decided so.

Actually, I couldn’t care less.

After all, I’d already made enough gains from this situation.

I’d also managed to raise my Mage job level, which was hard to level up.

Finally, I also got to test °• N 𝑜 v 𝑒 l i g h t •° and experiment with my spells and learned an advanced necromancy spell, ‘Gamigin’.

It would be nice if I could try out this new spell as well.

But from what I had personally experienced, the spell was very powerful. It literally had its own will and could be dangerous if used blindly without a safety net.

For now, let’s be patient.

More importantly, were there really no articles about Angmar?

I diligently searched the newspaper. After all, I was ordered by the Young Ladies of the three families to investigate the descendants of the Demon King.

This had become a funny situation where I needed to find myself...

Investigating the matters of the Demon King and tracing his footsteps were things I had to do in order to revive the Angmar Family.

Hopefully, I would find something like a treasure trove that united his immense legacy and magical knowledge, influence as well as power.

Seureuk. Chareureuk.

Someone suddenly took the newspaper I was holding. When I lifted my head to see, I was greeted by a pair of red eyes looking down at me.

“You’re here, Theo Gospel?”

“Lady Mirna.”

Why would Mirna Draco appear here, in the cheap student cafeteria? I hadn’t even thought that such a thing could be possible, and I was a little perplexed.

Perhaps it was the same with the other students, as there were sounds of gossip from all directions towards Mirna, who was Ranked 6th.

━She subdued Professor Balan yesterday?

━Isn’t Professor Balan an excellent student who graduated Rank 22 from Ark?

━Single-digit rankers really are on a different level...

I didn’t know why one of the people who was the hot topic in school right now chose to look for me.

Indifferent to the attention and gaze that were pouring on her, Mirna sat down in front of me without showing any change in expression.

“My Lady, what brought you here?”

“It’s because of what happened yesterday, Theo Gospel. Otherwise, would I have bothered for an hour to find you in a cafeteria far from the dormitory?”

“You’ve spent an entire hour looking for me?”

“That’s not important!”

Charreuk.

Mirna opened her fan and covered her face.
