47: A Gamble with the Devil

Chapter 47: A Gamble with a Demon

After Michelle and the boy walked away, Dick immediately got up from Xiao Nai, wiped his mouth with his sleeve, looking like he had eaten and wiped himself clean.

“Wuwuwuwu…”

“?”

Xiao Nai's low sobs came. Dick couldn't help but frown and look down, saying coldly, “Why are you crying?”

“Wuwu, I… my first kiss is gone, just like that, taken away by someone I only met a few days ago… Wuwuwu…”

“Get up quickly, Minister Michelle and that boy have entered the laboratory!”

Dick ignored Xiao Nai's crying and kept an eye on Michelle's every move. He immediately crawled out of the grass and chased after them.

Seeing Dick leave, Xiao Nai also quickly got up, wiping away her tears while trotting after Dick.

“You big bad guy, it wasn't just a kiss just now, you also touched me randomly… Anyway, you have to take responsibility, I can't get married now!”

Dick rubbed his ears, feeling a bit annoyed. He glanced back at Xiao Nai and said, “Please, this is just an illusion. Do you have some basic magic knowledge?”

Hearing this, Xiao Nai was stunned. Because her five senses were too real, she almost forgot that this was just an illusion and not reality.

So she hadn't lost her first kiss. In reality, the two of them were still standing in the stairwell.

“Ahahaha, I was actually joking with you. My acting is convincing, right? I even shed tears, hahaha…”

Dick rolled his eyes at Xiao Nai and immediately said, “Go play somewhere else. Don't follow me and cause trouble. When the time comes, the illusion will naturally end.”

“I also want to witness the truth of the magic accident with my own eyes… At worst, you can kiss me however you want, since this is an illusion anyway.”

Dick didn't reply, but climbed to a window and quietly observed Michelle in the laboratory through the glass.

Seeing this, Xiao Nai didn't say anything more. She stood close to Dick, observing the laboratory with him, but she would always subconsciously steal glances at Dick's lips.

There were five minutes until the magic accident, but everything in the laboratory was normal at this time.

Michelle was not as promiscuous as the rumors claimed. She had never hooked up with her students. On the contrary, she was a traditional and strict teacher.

At this moment, she was just guiding magic and had no inappropriate behavior.

“Jimmy, you are the most outstanding student I have ever seen. Your talent in illusion is even higher than mine. You will definitely win the championship in next month's competition!”

Michelle was very satisfied with Jimmy and had high hopes for him, even planning to pass on her Illusion Department legacy to him.

“Minister Michelle, but I am a special enrollment student for swordsmanship and plan to become a Magic Swordsman in the future…”

Listening to Jimmy's polite refusal, Michelle was exasperated and said angrily, “What's so good about wielding a sword? Are you going to give up your talent in illusion?”

“Minister, I…”

“Shut up,” Michelle glared at Jimmy, her chest rising and falling. She quickly sighed and said, “Consider it a plea from me, the Illusion Department really needs an international award.”

Michelle came and sat beside Jimmy, saying helplessly, “You should know that illusion is about to change from a required course to an elective, and the relevant educational resources will also decrease.”

“Now, the Illusion Department is at a critical moment of life and death. If you can win the championship in the competition next month, I am confident I can persuade the Warden!”

At close range, Michelle's perfume made Jimmy feel a little itchy. He swallowed and whispered, “But my father told me to focus on practicing swords and not associate with you anymore…”

“Jimmy!”

Michelle interrupted Jimmy and said seriously, “No matter what difficulties you have, I can help you, as long as you choose illusion.”

“Michelle… Minister, I, I…”

Jimmy's face turned red, and he finally spoke the desire he had hidden for a long time, “I want you… I, I want to be your lover, I…”

“What kind of nonsense are you talking about?!”

However, Michelle stood up angrily, distanced herself from Jimmy, and righteously refused, saying, “I am your teacher, and my daughter is even your fiancée. Are you crazy?”

“No, Michelle,” Jimmy's emotions also became a bit agitated, seeming to give up completely, “I just like you and want to possess you. It has been like this since the first time I saw you at the matriculation ceremony.”

“I became your daughter's fiancé just to get close to you. My love for you is uncontrollable…”

“Shut up! If you are learning illusion from me with this purpose, then I suggest you give up as soon as possible!”

Michelle glared at Jimmy with disgust and said decisively, “I hate perverts like you the most, who are shameless and have no moral bottom line.”

This sentence directly broke through Jimmy's psychological defense. He collapsed and retreated, his body swaying, unable to believe that Michelle would refuse him so sternly.

“Hmph, get lost. I will not use my body and false emotions to achieve my goals.”

Michelle packed her handbag, left this last sentence, and left without looking back.

Outside the window, Dick frowned as he watched everything happening in the laboratory.

Isn't this just an ordinary teacher-student breakup?

Michelle and Jimmy didn't do any experiments or cast any illusions throughout the process, so how did the final magic accident happen?

Dick looked at his watch. There were only two minutes left until the accident time reported in the news.

Just as Michelle was about to push the door open and leave, she suddenly found that the laboratory door couldn't be opened. This was obviously some kind of magic trick.

“Jimmy, what do you want to do? Do you still want to force me?”

Michelle immediately knew that this was Jimmy's doing. She immediately turned around and questioned him, her tone full of disgust.

“Hehe, Minister Michelle, I actually have something to tell you.”

Looking up, Jimmy pushed away his messy long hair and looked at Michelle with a gloomy expression. His handsome face became distorted and eerie.

“Actually, at first, I didn't have any talent in illusion at all, and as a special enrollment student for swordsmanship, I was good at the Berserker Sword style.”

“If it weren't for getting you, I would never have gambled with a Demon, and I would never have bet my soul!”

As soon as he heard the word "Demon", Dick raised an eyebrow. This Jimmy was actually so rebellious that he dared to gamble with a Demon.

As everyone knows, gambling with any Demon will result in a hundred percent loss. No one has ever won against a Demon, not even once.

Demons are the purest evil. They are very cunning and often offer many conditions you cannot refuse.

A Demon's gamble seems to have a high chance of winning, but it is actually full of traps. As long as you get on the gambling table, you are bound to lose!

Michelle's delicate brows furrowed. She already knew the seriousness of the matter and questioned sharply, “What did you bet?”

“I bet that you would fall in love with me…”

“I bet that you would accept my confession…”

“I bet that you would abandon worldly concepts and fall in love with me…”

Unfortunately, Jimmy lost, lost completely.

He misjudged Michelle's values, overestimated his methods, and underestimated the cunning of the Demon.

“The Demon gave me extremely high talent in illusion. He helped me get close to you and created countless opportunities for me… but in the end…”

In the last three words, Jimmy's voice changed, becoming another eerie tone, low and rough.

There are thirty seconds until the magic accident happens!!!

Dick watched his watch while concentrating on the changes happening in the laboratory. The truth of more than a hundred years ago was about to be revealed!
