Last I knew, Azrael and Corvus were the only forces the Academy or Imperial Family had deployed in response to the elven attack.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Marcellus really didn’t want to come with us?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From the opposite side, Lillian spoke up, directing the question at Julius.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No. Apparently, he had more work to do. I even saw him vehemently refuse the imperial guard they sent to escort him.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Think he’ll be okay?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Probably. He shouldn’t be long. As long as he can make his district self-sustaining for a while, he’ll probably catch up to us.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>FWOOSH!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The aircraft surged forward the moment we crossed into Eryndor’s territory. The other four peeled away, creating distance as they continued to patrol the airspace around us.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Prepare for landing!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The pilot up front shouted, but that would’ve taken too long—and Evelina seemed to agree. Of course she did. I was willing to bet the only thing on her mind right now was getting a perfect score on the exam.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Shall we, Cael?\" Evelina asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Seriously?\" Julius asked, dumbfounded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This is just a lot faster, isn’t it?\" I replied.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Darkfire Step]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Dark Step]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Both of us reappeared on the landing pad, and the moment we did, multiple guns snapped toward us. Every soldier looked tense and trigger-happy, no doubt still smarting from the harsh reprimand they’d received after their first failure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"HVT Three and Two have arrived! Get them out of there!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One of the imperial guards shouted, his helmet color distinct from the rest, as several other soldiers rushed in and formed a circle around us.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Please follow our lead!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>***\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The whole after-boarding process was... something. You’d think they’d just escort us somewhere safe or send us home, but no. Apparently that would somehow compromise the academy’s defenses.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It took them a full hour before we were finally allowed to walk around on our own.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Magical testing, health checkups, therapy — they even brought in priests to look us over.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They really wanted the full package, huh?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Magical, physical, mental, and even spiritual wellness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And this definitely wasn’t just because of the elves. The priests alone made that obvious. This had the inquisitor’s influence written all over it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That was way more convoluted than I expected,\" Evelina complained, pinching the bridge of her nose as she walked beside me, her other arm wrapped around mine.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Like... therapy?\" she added.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I kind of enjoyed it, honestly.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Of course you did. You just liked confusing the therapist with your answers.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Good thing we teleported, then. Saved us some time.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yeah, but we should’ve just teleported straight to the dorms or our estates. We still wasted too much time...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Evelina sped up a step ahead of me, then turned around and stopped me with a finger to my chest, a challenging look in her eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I trust you’ll actually study while we’re separated?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Separated? What does she mean?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What are you talking about?\" I asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Please. Do you really think the two of us would get anything done if we stayed together? Of course we’re living in our own dorms while the exam is coming up.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Wait, that’s kind of sudden, y’know?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Trust me, I hate it just as much as you do, but... maybe if you get a perfect score, I’ll treat you. Sounds fair?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A treat...? But...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Being apart from her, after literally living together for weeks, sounded like torture. I couldn’t even imagine waking up alone without her beside me.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But a treat...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Knowing her, it would definitely be something I’d like.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Maybe I should give in for now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Besides, a perfect score shouldn’t be that hard. I also need to catch up with Kevin and Vivianne’s progress anyway. And she was right: if we stayed together, I’d definitely forget about all that.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Fine...\" I relented.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Good boy.\" She crossed her arms, then sighed. \"Don’t worry, even if you fail the challenge, I’ll still give you something.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She closed the distance between us and pressed a kiss to my lips.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"For now, good luck with your studies. You’ll need it if you actually plan to rule by my side someday, instead of just running my errands.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She fixed my collar, held my gaze one last time, then wrapped herself in darkness and vanished, teleporting away — presumably back to her dorm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Dark Step]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before I could even take another step, someone else suddenly teleported right in front of me, right as Evelina vanished.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And it didn’t take a genius to figure out who it was.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Who else would pop straight to my side the moment I arrived?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Master!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kevin lunged toward me, grabbing both of my shoulders. His eyes were wild, bright with a tired kind of excitement. He looked like he hadn’t slept in weeks, but his energy said he was more wired than ever.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"How’s your progress...?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Incredible. No, more than incredible! That strange purple magic you used before—I think I’ve managed to recreate it!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wait. Recreate it? What do you mean, recreate it? Didn’t it require both divine and chaotic elements?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You... what!? H-How!?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I examined all the places where you previously used that magic and figured out it was a combination of an element similar to light and dark.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Similar? That’s the understatement of the century.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"And?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"All it took was tweaking some formulas, and I replicated it. So you’ve been using something called profaned magic this whole time, huh, Master? You really are impressive.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wait.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What!?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He replicated profaned magic just by tweaking formulas!?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Where did you get the light attunement from!?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hm? Oh, that? I just got it naturally when I had a breakthrough.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>S-Seriously?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I’m starting to think that calling him a prodigy might be an understatement.\u003C\u002Fp>",1009,"2026-06-03T05:52:53.768Z",1,"novelbin.me","605d03b49eaba95e9b201ba339686ed6456169d78474dd6344aaa0a9c61d3850","i-m-in-love-with-the-villainess-chapter-236","i-m-in-love-with-the-villainess-chapter-234",324,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fi-m-in-love-with-the-villainess-cover.jpg"]
