In the morning, three young ladies were enjoying morning tea in the courtyard.
Although Leona had moved in some time ago, she still felt a bit unnatural seeing the Young Miss during meal times. Moreover, the Witch Adult never came out to dine with them, and she was rarely seen at all. Yet, sometimes you could always feel her presence somewhere in the house, because the entire villa was filled with that adult's magic power.
Seeing the Young Miss's expressionless face, she always worried if she had done something wrong. Although she was older, she was completely overwhelmed by the Young Miss's aura.
"I'm full. Thank you for the meal."
Felimeth said, pressing her palms together.
Leona knew this was her teacher's habit, just like some believers thank the goddess, a custom-like etiquette. The Young Miss also pressed her palms together when she was full, but unlike the teacher, the Young Miss generally didn't say it aloud. From the beginning to the end of the meal, she remained cold and expressionless.
Leona quickly finished the food on her plate, nervously imitating the two of them, and mimicking her teacher's earlier words, said, "I'm also full. Thank you for the meal."
"Then the two of us are going out."
Felimeth and Leona still had to go to the shop. Although the shop was initially very quiet, as more and more branches opened, even with convenient things like teleportation points, the two still had to handle some paperwork daily. Therefore, they still went to the shop every day and used it as their office.
"Be careful of those ill-intentioned individuals at home, alright?"
She was referring to the Guild members.
Previously, the Adventurers Guild started causing trouble. Although they were quickly suppressed and no major incidents occurred, the other party later dared to attempt assassination at their doorstep. All the assassins who tried to assassinate the shop assistants before had been fed to the Bone Dragon. She never expected that under such circumstances, someone would still dare to assassinate Night Sky Pavilion's owner. Then, that Adventurer was instantly killed by Tsukasa's Evil Eye and thrown outside to warn those idiots.
That person should have been the Guild's strongest combatant.
It was precisely because of his unique status that Tsukasa didn't kill him.
Because she really didn't have the time to deal with the Adventurers Guild.
...
Hearing Felimeth mention this.
Tsukasa merely narrowed her eyes. She had received news that the high-ranking officials of the Adventurers Guild had recently gathered for a meeting. She wondered if these idiots would give up on dealing with her. The disparity in combat power was already so obvious; would anyone truly not value their life, and for a little profit, come begging her to kill them?
No money, so they don't even want their lives?
She wasn't afraid of any sneak attacks.
Her Perception skill had been maxed out; she could react to the slightest movement around her.
.
"Teleport, Count's Manor."
Felimeth and Leona had their own matters.
Tsukasa also had her own plans to put into action.
As the light of the teleportation magic circle flashed, Tsukasa arrived at the Count's Manor. Seeing the teleportation gate react, Baron Kronolos nervously got up, dressed neatly, and rushed to the door to greet this adult. At this moment, Tsukasa's appearance was that of the demon youth Uchiha. Now, her cooperation with Eidor was getting better and better.
Even without explanation.
As soon as she started acting, Eidor knew what she wanted to transform into.
"Lord Uchiha."
Tsukasa walked up to Kronolos and asked, "How is the Count?"
"Yes, His Lordship the Count is in excellent health," Kronolos replied.
Tsukasa nodded.
It seems there are no problems.
It doesn't seem like anyone has discovered anything.
She stated her purpose for today: "Prepare a pass for the Magic Academy for me."
The Magic Academy, the highest training institution in this country, where only children of nobles and the royal family are qualified to study. Leona also studied there before, but she has now graduated as the top student. The Yester Family was even promoted back to the rank of Count from Viscount because of this.
Leona also received the title of Court Archmage.
The effect of this title is quite good, simply put, but it has identity requirements. Once Leona's Court Archmage status is revoked in the future, this title will also be deleted along with it.
Don't underestimate this Magic Academy.
Schools in this other world are completely different institutions from the schools in her previous life. Here, you can even consider the schools as military training camps; those who come out of them are qualified soldiers, and the top students who distinguish themselves are candidates for Military Kings/Generals, with limitless prospects in the future.
However, there's no need to be nervous.
Because the average strength level of humans in this world is below average, even if the students in the school can be considered high-level combatants of the human race, to Tsukasa now, they are just small fry. With her current strength, she could send all the students, including the teachers, to their demise.
"This..."
Kronolos's face showed difficulty upon hearing the adult's request.
The Magic Academy was nothing in Tsukasa's eyes.
However, that place was a military stronghold of the country, not so easy to infiltrate. Furthermore, the academy had exchange students from other countries, and these students were all of royal or noble birth, which increased the school's defenses. Even with the status of a Count, obtaining a pass was not easy.
Tsukasa noticed Kronolos's expression and asked doubtfully, "What's wrong? Isn't it the Kingdom's annual enrollment period? It shouldn't be difficult to obtain a degree with the status of a Count, should it?"
"Hoo..."
So that's how it is.
Kronolos breathed a sigh of relief.
The main reason was that she hadn't clearly heard the adult's instructions and misunderstood her meaning. If it was just to obtain a degree, it was indeed not very difficult, but there were some things she had to make clear to the adult.
"Adult, if you want to obtain a degree, you must provide identity information. What do you think?"
"Release news, create an identity as an illegitimate daughter, forge an Appraisal form. You don't need to worry about the rest. Even if it's exposed, I can assure you that the Royal Family won't pursue the matter then. You don't need to worry about being implicated," Tsukasa said impatiently.
"I wouldn't dare," Kronolos quickly said. "Your subordinate has no such thoughts. It is my honor to work for you, and even if I am implicated, it would be an honor for me."
Tsukasa waved her hand and said, "Then go prepare. After the matter is handled, send the items to the owner of Night Sky Pavilion. This matter will be led by her. You will temporarily follow them and work for them."
"...I!"
Kronolos wanted to say that she only wanted to work for the adult, but the adult had already left through the teleportation gate.
