Reincarnated as incubus: I didn't mean to seduce you!

Clearly, it was Flandre who unintentionally asked about the progress of the spell project recently, and then he remembered that he hadn’t gone to Lion Heart Duke first to show his achievements.

Luxius was well-versed in the art of securing funds and knew that hard work meant nothing unless the investors saw immediate results. That was the only way to strengthen their resolve to invest more.

Who would have thought that when he went to meet the Duke, he ran into the Duke planning to have someone meet with Kael regarding the increasingly chaotic situation on Romance Street.

Thinking that since they had run into each other, he couldn’t just watch his student get taken advantage of, so he followed along immediately, planning to provide onsite support for Kael.

If Kael and the Incubus Taoles sent by the Duke had any unpleasant communication, or if any embarrassing incident occurred,

like accidentally being charmed by the Incubus and ending up having an odd encounter at a sausage stand in a corner, he could divert the attention by saying things like "He’s just a kid," or "Putting the facts aside, isn’t the female Incubus somewhat at fault too?"

If worse came to worst, he could claim that his beloved student was suffering from severe depression due to Anthony’s death.

Anyway, stacking buffs was the name of the game. The more buffs, the stronger the shield.

But who knew his Kael would really make him proud!

Kael didn’t do anything drastic; he calmly completed a major transaction with the Incubus, and without even realizing it, showed his resolve to fight against the Duchy’s corruption to the Duke.

Luxius couldn’t stop smiling.

But now that he thought about it, why did it all seem a bit too coincidental?

It shouldn’t be. That old Duke had always valued Kael’s research projects. Arranging for the Queen of Romance Street to meet Kael was likely to better support Kael, right?

Forget it, why overthink it?

As long as the goal was achieved, it was fine!

Luxius stopped thinking further and continued to look down at the documents in his hands.

"Damn it, why are there so many documents lately? Where’s the Academy Head, that old fart? Why did he leave me with so many tasks? I don’t want to read reports until the second day!"

Luxius let out a wailing sound, complaining verbally, but eventually, he still opened the documents and started reading them seriously, one by one.

You could question his twisted sense of humor, you could question his attitude towards love, but you could never question his devotion to knowledge.

This was the very foundation that supported Luxius on his journey to becoming the Monarch of the School of Evocation.

Thus, late into the night, in a quiet academy, a solitary lamp burned brightly for a long time.

...

On the other side, Kael bid farewell to Fox Knight. Reflecting on what the Fox Knight had recounted, he returned to his room, fell silent for a moment, and then laughed quietly:

"So it was you. If that’s the case, then it explains why things felt off earlier."

Hassaka was tidying up the table in the hall. Hearing Kael’s words, he looked up curiously and asked:

"What happened, Master Kael?"

Kael shook his head and said: "Nothing, I just suddenly figured out something I hadn’t understood before. Like, why would an incubus be collaborating with the Tulip families...?

Tsk, is this an early test?"

Hassaka’s eyes flickered, though he remained silent, but his wolf tail began to wag furiously, his expression one of intense curiosity. n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

Seeing Hassaka’s curious expression, Kael chuckled:

"If you want to know, come over here. Don’t make me spell it out for you."

Upon hearing this, Hassaka instinctively responded, moving closer to Kael and lowering himself until his head was bowed down.

Thwack—

A karate chop landed on him. The incubus tail behind Kael wavered uneasily. He grit his teeth and said:

"Why are you lowering your head?"

"What... what was I doing again?"

Hassaka’s expression was confused. He didn’t know why he had moved so oddly just now.

It felt like this had happened to him before under similar circumstances.

As for Kael, he leaned back, showing a helpless expression on his face.

What could he do? It was a problem he had caused himself, so he couldn’t blame Hassaka.

Next time... next time he definitely needed to be more careful. This dumb wolf’s head was nearly ready to be molded in his image.
