Magic System in a Parallel World - Chapter 236 Transfer Student(2)

Chapter 236 Transfer Student(2)

Leo shivered when he felt the temperature in the room suddenly dropped, and it wasn’t just a metaphor. The temperature literally dropped, and the students could even see mist coming out of their mouth and nose when they breathed.

‘This is… Ice magic?’ Leo thought to himself.

“Seven.” Lia’s nonchalant voice suddenly resounded.

The temperature in the room immediately stopped dropping, but it didn’t instantly return to normal either, and the cold continued to linger in the room.

“My apologies, Lady Scarlet.” Seven said with her head slightly lowered.

“I will forgive you since you are new and you don’t know Leo, but he is very important to me. You are to respect him the same way you respect me.”

Seven’s eyebrows twitched upon hearing Lia’s words, but she didn’t utter a single complaint.

“I understand.”

Seven turned to look at Leo and lowered her head slightly, “I apologize for my rudeness just now.”

“No problem…” Leo was a little taken aback by Seven’s obedience and self-control.

“I’m amazed.” Lilith suddenly said. “Compared to that old man, this new servant is definitely more tolerable. However, don’t be fooled by her, Leo. She’s even more dangerous than that old man in terms of strength. I dare say she might even be as strong as an S-Rank Adventurer.”

‘S-Rank…’ Leo swallowed nervously.

Lia then said, “Don’t worry, I won’t harm any students here if they don’t deserve it.”

“Lady Scarlet won’t need to lift a finger because I will take care of them for her.” Seven then said.

“…”

“Whatever, I’m going to train.” Leo stood up and proceeded to leave the classroom.

Naturally, Lia followed him without any questions.

“Your Ex is really something else, Valery. To think he’d go for the Scarlet Princess and succeed.” Jennifer nudged her after Leo and Lia left the room.

Seeing the frown on her face, Kevin chuckled, “He has not only returned from the dead but he can even use magic now. Do you regret moving on so quickly now?”

“Kevin. Are you provoking me?” John said with a cold look on his face.

“I’m just saying. Everybody was shocked at how quickly she moved on.” Kevin shrugged.

“I do not regret anything. Now if you’ll excuse me, I have to prepare for the Labyrinth Examination.” Valery said in a low voice before making her way to the exit.

John didn’t say anything and followed her.

“She’s definitely feeling some sort of regret.” Kevin said.

“Obviously, but why are you reminding her of that?” Jennifer sighed.

“The hell are you talking about? You started it!”

The two of them started arguing with each other.

“That Leo… I really hope he dies in the Ancient Labyrinth.” Erik sneered with a cold look on his face.

Conan, who was sitting beside him, merely shook his head in silence.

After leaving the classroom, Leo made his way to Eve’s living quarters.

“Why are you following me?” Leo asked her.

“To spend more time with you,” she calmly said.

Leo’s body shivered upon hearing her cringy words, and he wondered how she could say such words without feeling any shame.

“I’m just going to be training.”

“I will train with you.”

Leo pondered about her offer. Since Lia is now the second strongest student in the academy, she would make for a good training partner for him, and since she is aware of his true identity, he won’t need to hold back on her.

Sometime later, they arrived at the training room.

Once they entered the room, Leo turned to look at Seven and asked her, “Do you mind waiting outside while we train? I don’t want to be watched because I won’t be able to focus.”

Since he didn’t trust her, he didn’t want to risk revealing any secrets to her.

“I refuse. It is my job to watch over Lady Scarlet. I will not let her out of my sight, especially around someone like—”

“Seven, you are dismissed for now.” Lia suddenly interrupted, halting Seven’s words.

“But Lady Scarlet… What if he does something weird to you while I am not watching? The Masters would be furious…”

“Leo can do whatever he wants to me— he has the right to.” Lia said with a nonchalant look on her face.

Seven’s emotionless expression finally broke apart after she heard Lia’s baffling words.

Although she’s never worked under Lia before, Seven has heard and been taught many things about Lia. She learned that Lia was someone who was ruthless and unforgiving. She heard that Lia was the type to kill someone just for looking at her wrong. However, the Lia before her at this moment was nothing like the rumors and what she was taught by the Scarlet Family, and she wasn’t sure how to react to it.

In the end, Seven decided to do what she was taught— to listen to Lia’s orders without question unless she was in obvious or imminent danger.

Thus, Seven left the training room in a reluctant manner. However, she would not completely leave. Instead, she would guard the door outside until their training was done.

“What happened to your old butler?” Leo couldn’t help but ask Lia.

“After his punishment ended, he was sent back to the main family to be trained from scratch.” She said.

“Isn’t he too old for that? Why doesn’t he just retire?”

“That was Edwin’s own desire. I won’t question it.”

“Fair enough.” Leo said.

“Anyways, I am going to practice with my sword first.”

He proceeded to pull out the Vampire Vanquisher.

Lia’s body trembled slightly at the sight of the Vampire Vanquisher. Perhaps it was due to her Scarlet Eyes that was related to vampires, but she felt instinctive fear towards the ominous-looking sword.

Fortunately, that feeling of fear lasted for only a moment, and once it was gone, she took out her dagger and proceeded to spar with Leo without using any magic.

Leo would lose most of their matches simply because he still couldn’t control the sword, not to mention he wasn’t strong enough to wield it properly, and Lia would overwhelm him with sheer speed.
