“I’m going... to kill you!”
Rorina lifted her staff, her tone as light as a kitten’s whisper, yet vicious enough to be terrifying.
With the magic she could currently invoke, killing a mage whose magic and ability to resist were completely sealed was not difficult.
But Hua Shiyu suddenly grabbed her wrist. “Little girl, I know how you feel right now. But you can’t kill, okay?”
“I’m going to kill him!”
“Hehe, look at yourself now. You’re practically the sa as those rampaging rejects, pathetic.”
The man was not afraid. He knew he could not escape death, but seeing his niece in pain and despair, biting her lips until blood flowed, actually stirred sothing inside him.
If I die, none of you are going to have it easy.
“My good niece, don’t you understand yet? The so-called blood relationship you pride yourself on doesn’t exist at all. You’re just one among thousands of experintal subjects, only a little special because of the ‘mother’ in your mories.” the man said coldly.
“I’m! Going to... kill you!”
Rorina roared, and suddenly the strength in her body surged.
“Aiya!” Hua Shiyu clutched her head in frustration. “Xiaobai, are you going to just stand there and watch?”
“Let go. Let this student do it,” Vieya said softly.
“Ah? What are you saying?”
Hua Shiyu panicked, turning around in disbelief to look at the blank-faced sli-girl.
xxlkk says: Welco to tongrenxsw to read this book!
“Killing soone here? Are you out of your mind?”
“You can take care of the aftermath anyway, can’t you?” Vieya said. “This kind of guy has long since lost any interrogation value for you, hasn’t he?”
“......”
Hua Shiyu fell silent. The force in her hand suddenly loosened, and her originally anxious tone took on a strange shade.
“You said it, Dean. So if this kid has problems in the future, that’s on your head, yes? No objections?”
“I can take it,” Vieya said quietly.
The restraints on Rorina's body abruptly eased. She raised her staff high, speaking with absolute resolve, absolute coldness:
“Magic—Cluster Explosion!”
This was the inherited magic of the Glenfiddy family, a terrifying spell that inflicted destruction from the inside outward. Although the power she could display now was extrely limited due to her own magical aptitude, to a man who had been stripped of all ability to resist, it was fatal.
“Niece, rember this. Your parents died because of you, our family fell because of you. You and I are both sinners—”
Boom!
The very next second after the words fell, the man in the cell wore a mocking smile, and then burst into a cloud of blood mist.
The thick stench of blood spread out. Rorina's pale face was splashed with bright red droplets.
The cell was a complete ss.
“Tsk, what an inelegant magic.”
......
dical room.
Vieya sat to the side waiting. After that child killed soone, she had said nothing along the way. Even if Vieya asked personally, Rorina only nodded or shook her head in silence—she reacted, but not much.
To be honest, she wasn’t sure whether letting Rorina do it had been the right decision.
She simply felt instinctively that, if she were the one in that position, she would have acted without hesitation, and would not want anyone stopping her. That so-called uncle—no matter how she looked at him—didn’t resemble a human being in the slightest.
So she had stopped Hua Shiyu from interfering.
In any case, she was the Dean now, and Rorina was technically under her protection. Things should simply proceed as they needed to proceed.
“It’s already noon.”
Vieya glanced at the ti. After a whole morning of running around, her stomach was a little hungry.
Later she could show rcy and let the girl experience the Dean’s exclusive al rations.
As long as the food tastes good, it can temporarily heal unhappiness.
So thought the ❖ Nоvеl𝚒ght ❖ (Exclusive on Nоvеl𝚒ght) sli-girl.
The dical room door opened, and the doctor in white coat led Rorina out.
“How is she? Does the child have any physical problems?” Vieya asked, looking up.
“Very healthy. Or rather, stronger than ordinary children of this age. The magic level in her body is also higher. Her talent is excellent. However...” The doctor hesitated, choosing his words, “...there are also so small issues in other areas.”
As he spoke, he furrowed his brows and looked toward the short little Dean standing before him, asking:
“I don’t know what relationship you, Dean, have with this child?”
“Mm... just the relationship between Dean and student?”
“And her family?”
“Probably... none?”
Vieya rubbed her own cheeks hard, frustrated. “Stop asking all these irrelevant things. Just tell whether she’s physically and ntally healthy. If she is, I’ll take her.”
“I see. Then I understand.”
The doctor realized this small Dean might be taking care of an orphan, so he cooperatively tore off an unsigned dical report and handed it over, lowering his voice:
“This child’s psychological issues should be taken seriously. If she truly is an orphan, it’d be best to find a good family to adopt her... She’s not even twelve yet, with such high talent. If she strays down the wrong path in the future, it would be terrible.”
“...Is that so?” Vieya couldn’t help frowning.
Because of treason charges, the Glenfiddy family’s assets had all been confiscated. The clan mbers who were unaware of the cri would be taken away by the Church within a week for supervision and education of unspecified duration. Saying it nicely was “education and supervision”; not nicely, it ant accomplices also had to go to jail and do free labor.
As for those under eighteen, they would be scattered into various convents for care—living days barely different from orphans. However, children under fourteen like Rorina still had a chance of being adopted. But in this world, no one would choose to adopt the remnant of a family convicted of treason.
Maybe she could ask Rorina later. If the girl didn’t want to go to a convent or be adopted, Vieya could pay to support her until adulthood.
Cafeteria, second floor.
The students’ al ti had already passed. There were only a few scattered people in the cafeteria, and Vieya didn’t see her own daughter.
Probably finished eating long ago and gone back to review magic?
“What would you like to eat? My treat.”
Vieya pulled a black-gold al card from her pocket and shook it proudly in front of Rorina. “This is the privilege of being the Dean. It’s my first ti using it. Today I’ll let you try the waters.”
Rorina looked up, eting the caring gaze in Vieya’s eyes. She opened her mouth and whispered two words:
“Anything...”
“...Haha, anything? Then I’ll have the chef make the dish called ‘Anything’ for you to try. I’ve heard of its illustrious na for a long ti. Since there’s a chance today, it’s perfect to try it.”
“N-No, that’s not what I ant. I an... Dean-sister can order whatever you like to eat.”
Rorina panicked, her small hands waving before her chest. “I’m not picky...”
She finally spoke. Hoo...
Vieya let out a long breath and asked, “Not picky is great. But do you have anything you avoid eating?”
