Chapter 182 The Second Backdoor Staff Meeting
Chapter 182 The Second Backdoor Staff Meeting
The next day, I was being yelled by Liesl in the headmistress\'s office.
"I really can\'t believe you did that! One more step, and we\'ll both be doomed!"
"That\'s why I said it\'s okay already. I\'ve already used my spell to deceive them."
I gave another sigh at Liesl\'s constant lecturing, then switched my eyes at the documents at hand as I let her words sink in.
"What are you...are you going to get a new woman again!? Even though I did all that yesterday!?"
I did, huh. So, you already knew that and still played along. Some dignified knight teacher you are.
Well, it was true that the sex with Liesl had relieved some of my pent-up desire, which had built up pretty bad that day.
Still, that doesn\'t mean it\'s gonna calm down now just because of having released inside her once.
It was even more so since I\'m the type to enjoy fucking women as both a hobby and a consolation; as many partners I do, the better my feeling is.
In the first place, there\'s no need to worry about having too many; after all, the academy will eventually replace hundreds of students per year.
In the case of students, there are only three years in which I can casually enjoy them if I started ensnaring when they\'re still in their first years.
"But as for the current third years and graduating students...well, I don\'t think it\'s a good idea to hold the students back. It\'s a shame, but it\'s also not wise to be greedy."
Among my girls, the third-year students are Hannah and Inez.
Both of them are quite beautiful, and their bodies are to my liking. It\'s a shame that I won\'t be able to hold them after this year.
Well, I can still meet them in the country if I want to.
"I\'m free to do whatever I want in the school. What makes you think I\'ll stop reaching out to the women here, who are already ripe and at my picking?"
"Sigh. It seems that my words are not more effective than a mosquito bite..."
Liesl spoke as if she had given up.
With this, now I can slowly select my next target.
When I was about to open the document again, someone opened the door roughly and came in.
"A-Arius! This is bad!"
"Julia, what are you in such a hurry for?"
When Julia found me, she came straight towards my seat.
"Bad news, actually, mother is...the chancellor is coming back!"
"What? The chancellor?"
It was Liesl who raised the voice of surprise, and not me.
Then, she asks Julia in a hurry.
"Hasn\'t the chancellor been invited to a foreign country as an advisor? Why is she coming back so early?"
Yes, that was indeed the story.
She must have been invited there to give advice on how to build a magic school because of her success in building this school.
And I thought that it would take several years to work from scratch.
No matter how much experience she had, he would have to be careful about doing the same thing in a different climate, customs, and traditions.
And most importantly, she can\'t just come and go home like this.
"But she really ended it just like that! She said that she\'ll leave the rest to the disciple she made over there, and because of that, she was able to pack up and go back surprisingly quick! We\'re running out of time, Arius!"
"In such a short span of time, she was able to develop the proper human resources for this? Wow, the chancellor is really impressive. As expected of her."
Liesl spoke, fascinated by the skills of the literal boss of her school.
But I\'m not interested in that.
"Either way, she isn\'t going to be easy."
I immediately thought of several countermeasures against the chancellor.
"What are you going to do, Arius? If we budged this, we\'d be as good as charcoal in the stake!"
"We? You mean you\'re included as well? But she\'s your mother, isn\'t she?"
"My mother would never forgive me. She\'s very strict and probably thinks I\'m just a convenient apprentice rather than a daughter."
Julia spoke gloomily. While I\'m expecting their relationship to be wrong, considering how happy-go-lucky she was on the first time we met, but I didn\'t expect it to be this bad.
She\'s a good teacher, but her parenting skills are close to none, huh. If she, the daughter is saying that, then there is a good chance that it is likely to be true.
After all, I only learned to play around when I was in my twenties.
"...no way, then I\'m also involved too?"
Liesl asks in fear upon sensing how serious the atmosphere is. Of course, you are, doofus.
Well, so far, I haven\'t done anything to undermine the students, except for the fact of being embraced by me.
"Though as her daughter, it\'s odd for me to say this, but for my mom, this school is the second most important thing after her life. If she knew that Arius is putting hands on her students there, she would...ugh."
Even the usually optimistic Julia is terrified.
Well, what do you know? The chancellor cares more about her business than her family.
What\'s more, looking at the records, she treats it more like a divine place rather than a school. Once she catches someone committing lewd acts on her campus, even if it\'s a completely biological action like masturbating, she calls for their immediate expulsion.
No wonder Julia is so wild outside when she met me.
"B-but! Even up to now, I have never been caught before, so there\'s still the possibility that the chancellor might not even notice."
You\'re not helping here, Liesl.
"That\'s impossible. My mother has applied so much magic security in this school that there are literally no blind spots to her, not even an ant to crawl in. If she comes back and sees the records, she\'ll definitely discover what we\'ve done. I\'ve expected her to come years after that, which is enough time for me to erase every trace. But now..."
Julia plopped down on the guest seat and looked solemnly at me.
Seeing her state, Liesl also ran out of room to be calm, clinging to me to find even a sliver of hope.
"Theophil, what should we do? Can\'t you do something about that magic? You\'re a former court wizard, right?"
Her impatience was growing, and she was even breaking out in a cold sweat.
I sighed and took out a handkerchief from my pocket and handed it to Liesl.
"Your face is being unsightly. Here, wipe it."
"S-sorry. And thank you, Theophil."
She took it and wiped the sweat off her forehead.
"About that, I\'ve also thought of tampering the surveillance magic the chancellor has set up, even from a while back."
"So, what do you think?"
"As it turns out, neither disarming nor altering it is practical in this situation."
I said this with some irritation.
"Tell me what you mean by that."
"First of all, Liesl. Do you know the Chancellor\'s background?"
She shakes her head at my question.
"Well, that \'s typical for the likes of you normal people."
"You mean mom is an abnormal person?\'
"Not just abnormal, super freakishly abnormal. When I was still a teenager who just came out of the countryside, I joined the country\'s Magic Research Society. At that time, do you know what position she has back then?"
"I don\'t know. Aside from being a famous sorceress, she hasn\'t told me anything."
"She was the head of the court wizards back then and the first woman to be at that."
Also, the spell that was cast in the school was ingrained down to its very foundations.
"While it is not impossible to break it, as all you have to do is destroy the whole school, it is nearly impossible to unlock it from the outside in a short time. Even I, a former court wizard, will take a couple of years even if I put all my effort into it."
She even perhaps put more effort into building this stuff than caring for her daughter.
But honestly, her sudden return caught me off-guard. The spell is like a puzzle, with dozens to hundreds of advanced defense formulas clumped together perfectly to create an intricate web.
It\'s not impossible to solve, but it takes time. Since I thought that the chancellor will be away for a long time, I didn\'t tamper with it much yet, which is why I\'m very irritated right now.
"Since we have no other solutions to this, our only chance was to charge in front. I\'m gonna make the chancellor my target and make her acknowledge my actions herself."
I don\'t have the mindset to just leave the beautiful girls in front of me alone and escape as a fugitive while they get busy with the puzzle to save their lives. So I went for the quickest way.
"Julia, give me all the data you can find."
"Got it."
At my words, she quickly stood up and took out a stack of papers from her desk.
"This is everything I know about mother\'s magic."
Julia handed me a document that was filled with data about the Chancellor.
"Wha-! Why are these things here..."
Liesl couldn\'t help but scream at the discovery of this document.
What\'s listed in these documents is a lot of information one wouldn\'t normally know, such as magic power levels and the magic habits of every user of magic.
"I\'ve been planning to go to war with the chancellor sooner or later. I had Julia make it for me."
"But because it is still too early, only information that is useful for combat is listed there...Are ...are you really going to fight mother?"
Once again, Julia implores me.
"Don\'t worry. I\'m not going to kill her."
"Sigh, I wonder where is that confidence coming from...she\'s a former court wizard too, you know? What\'s more, as what you have said, she\'s your former boss."
"I know, I know. Also, she was never my boss. She has already quit her position since I became a court wizard. I\'m just speaking the difference between her strength and our strength."
"What, you\'re counting on us too? I\'m sorry, but even with my skills, I wouldn\'t hold a candle on her even in a few seconds. Maybe even Liesl too."
Julia seemed to think that she would not be able to help.
But Liesl is not happy about being put together with her either.
"Muu, even if my magic skills are not as good as you two, my sword skills are not as inferior to a high knight."
Indeed, Liesl is probably one of the best melee fighters in this school.
Exempting her two large weights on his chest, her strength would have increased by several percent if she had a more mobile body.
However, for me, her chest is more important than her fighting prowess.
"A few seconds can determine the difference between life and death in a fight."
"Hmmm, that may be true, but"
Liesl said she could at least buy some time, but Julia could not shake off her uneasiness to her friend.
"Okay, now that we\'re settled, here\'s what we\'ll do."
I beckoned the two of them and told them the plan.
Of course, the chancellor would hear the meeting in this room soon as she returned, so I used strict soundproofing magic around us.
In order to avoid being detected by reading the movements of their mouths, I also used an invisibility spell to block their lips from view.
"Why!? Are you nuts! I\'m against this! Is there no other way? What if it doesn\'t work!"
But after hearing my plan, Liesl was the first one to react.
"I see. This is certainly a blind spot that even the other side isn\'t aware of."
But Julia was in awe instead.
"B-but still, I don\'t believe it. Isn\'t this against your code of hurting women?"
"We\'ve already reached this point, Liesl. There\'s no turning back. also don\'t underestimate my mother. If she wins, we die. Well, to be honest, it\'s quite the devilish method you got there, Arius. Even I really want to test it now."
"At this point, it doesn\'t matter what method you use anymore, as long as it gets results. But are you really willing to do this, Julia? Your life will be at stake."
"Our lives are already at stake the moment we crossed her. And mine the moment I hunted for men and going into the bars at night. Plus, I\'ve always wanted to see if my mother has even a sliver of care towards me."
"So, you being a bad girl from the start is all about trying to catch her attention, huh."
"Fufufu, well, you could say that."
The Liesl seemed to be disapproving till the end, but she has no choice but to go along.
Now, then, Madame Chancellor. Let\'s see how you are gonna come out of this.
