46: Stupid Couple

Chapter 46: Idiot Couple

Just then, a woman with a plump figure, wearing black-rimmed glasses and a hip-hugging mini-skirt, walked towards them and stopped in front of Dick and Xiao Nai.

Her chest was ample and eye-catching, trembling slightly as the woman breathed, the buttons on her clothes almost popping open.

"You two aren't students from the Magic Department, why are you loitering here?"

Dick felt bewildered. Why was this woman looking for trouble? He had memorized all the Academy's rules and regulations; which one prohibited students from other departments from loitering here?

Meanwhile, Xiao Nai, beside him, covered her mouth and stammered, "Mi, Mi, Minister Michelle?!"

Upon hearing this, Dick was somewhat startled. He didn't expect the creator of "Past Revisited" to be right in front of him, the female Minister who caused the terrifying magic accident!

Although it was an illusion, "Know Yourself and Your Enemy" could still function. Dick focused his gaze, and Michelle's identification information quickly appeared in his field of vision.

"Name": Michelle Wellington.

"Race": Human, Female.

"Age": 42.

"Profession": Mage, Level 54.

"Talents": Illusion Mastery (Advanced), Magic Power Amplification (Intermediate), Mental Fortification (Intermediate)...

"Recent Encounter": Soul is about to be completely devoured by a Demon, on the verge of complete dissipation.

He didn't expect this Michelle to be so lucky; she actually possessed "Magic Power Amplification," which could directly increase magic power intensity, a talent all Mages dreamed of.

Michelle had Intermediate "Magic Power Fortification," which could increase magic power intensity by 8%, helpful for anything requiring the use of magic power.

As for this "Recent Encounter"... Dick believed it should refer to recent events in reality, not within the illusion.

It seemed that in the magic accident over a hundred years ago, Michelle's soul didn't dissipate but was captured by a certain Demon and imprisoned until now.

A Demon?

He didn't expect there to be a Demon hidden within this Academy. He just didn't know its level or if it harbored malicious intent.

Based on his experience, Dick quickly analyzed many things.

But he didn't expect that the strange tale of "Stairway to Another World" could even involve a Demon.

Although he guessed the World Task wouldn't be too simple, Dick didn't expect it to be this troublesome. With his current strength, Dick didn't want to provoke a Demon.

Even the weakest low-level Demon might possess some strange supernatural abilities. The uncertainty was too high; he could very likely fail.

However, the World Task couldn't be canceled. Even though Dick was extremely reluctant, he could only take this risk.

"Minister Michelle, we came to visit friends." Dick bowed respectfully, lying without batting an eye.

"Hmph, don't your Swordsman Department and Berserker Department look down on illusions the most? Why would you come here to find friends... If there's nothing, leave quickly!"

Michelle's tone was cold; she clearly disliked Dick and Mina. She recognized the uniforms they were wearing, precisely from the Swordsman Department and Berserker Department, which she detested the most.

It was the Ministers of these two departments who proposed cutting the Magic Department's budget and changing illusions from a mandatory course to an elective.

Especially the Minister of the Berserker Department; he even incited students to discriminate against illusions together, and subsequently won a landslide victory in the vote.

In the entire Royal Capital Magic Academy, over eighty percent of students voted that illusions should not be a mandatory course and that teaching resources should be reduced.

As the only Advanced Illusionist in the Academy, Michelle was dedicated to promoting illusions, allowing more students to become Illusion Masters.

More than just a job, Michelle genuinely loved illusions, which is why her reaction to the demotion of the illusion course was so significant.

Watching Michelle's retreating back, Dick let out a light breath. He then cast a stealth spell and quietly followed behind her with Xiao Nai.

In less than twenty minutes, the terrifying magic accident that shocked the entire nation of Amyria would occur. Dick needed to find out the truth.

"According to news reports, the magic accident at the time was caused by Minister Michelle's magic power surge, and she was fully responsible..."

Listening to Xiao Nai's explanation, Dick curled his lip and said, "Do you believe that?"

Hearing this, Xiao Nai gently shook her head. After all, news was basically just a tool for those in power to deceive the lower classes.

The Academy completely absolved itself from the accident, shifting all the blame onto Michelle. This was the consistent style of those in power.

Moreover, how could a Level 54 Illusionist possibly make such a low-level mistake as a magic power surge, and even ultimately cause the tragedy of 98 people's brain death?

Unless Michelle did it intentionally, but through the brief conversation just now, Dick didn't see her as a dangerous psychopath.

"Let's follow her. We'll see what the truth is later."

A few minutes later, the two followed Michelle to the garden next to the teaching building. She seemed to have an appointment and was waiting there.

Seeing this, Dick found a hidden patch of grass and observed Michelle with Xiao Nai.

"Who do you think she's waiting for?"

Dick thought for a moment and quickly replied, "It should be that male student, the male lead in the magic accident."

There were rumors that Michelle had a loose character and often seduced handsome male students in the Magic Department, nicknamed the "Virginity Terminator."

The number of boys who "graduated" through her was no less than eight hundred, if not a thousand.

Sure enough, a clean-cut looking boy soon came over. He looked very frail.

"Hehe, I didn't expect the rumors to be true. This Minister clearly has a husband, yet she's still so..."

"Shh, keep your voice down!" Dick interrupted Xiao Nai, who was gossiping, speechless. He didn't care about Michelle's private life, only the truth of the magic accident.

Suddenly, Michelle, who was talking to the boy, frowned and immediately strode towards the patch of grass where the two were hiding.

"It's over, it's over, we've been discovered. What should we do, Dick..."

"Ah, how troublesome."

Dick curled his lip, turned to Xiao Nai, and said, "Relax your body, don't resist me. If we're exposed, money will be deducted!"

As soon as she heard about money deduction, Xiao Nai immediately behaved herself, indicating Dick could do as he pleased.

Watching Michelle gradually approach, Dick directly pushed Xiao Nai down and acted with her as a couple in love.

"Mmm mmm mmm mmm mmm?!!!"

Xiao Nai widened her eyes, struggling and making noise. She regretted agreeing to Dick on a whim just now, regretting that she had actually lowered all her defenses.

"Close your eyes, relax. She's looking over!"

Dick reminded her in a low voice, his actions becoming more excessive and rude. The two completely looked like an idiot couple.

"Hmph, how unlucky!"

Upon seeing this, Michelle immediately let out a cold snort and turned to leave.

She had been in a cold war with her husband for several years, sleeping in separate rooms since over ten years ago. Their relationship was almost solely maintained by their child.

Seeing Dick and Xiao Nai like this, Michelle was actually very envious in her heart, but she couldn't have it herself, so she was very displeased.

"Minister, what's over there?" the clean-cut boy asked.

"Hmph, nothing. Just two little cats in heat."
