Chapter 32: The Glamorous Magical Girl Idol

The teleportation array of Academy City.

Chu Tian’s figure gradually solidified as he arrived in human form at Academy City.

Raising his gaze, he saw the massive and towering magic academy in the distance, resembling a colossal magical fortress.

It exuded an aura of mystery and majesty, standing as the most iconic structure in the city.

If he intended to demonize, it was best not to get too close to this magic academy.

Chu Tian opened the system map, his eyes locking onto the marked location of the [Sword of Malice].

The marker had remained stationary in one spot for a long time.

He speculated that it might be Su Nian’s temporary residence-most likely an inn, judging by common sense.

However.

He had assumed he would need to stake out the inn’s entrance.

Unexpectedly, a casual glance upward caught his attention on a massive poster plastered on the side of a five-story building near the public magic array.

The poster fluttered gently in the breeze, depicting an ethereal beauty who seemed to have stepped out of a painting-none other than Su Nian herself.

Though the poster showed her with meticulous makeup and lavish attire, that unique charm and aura made it impossible for him to mistake her identity.

Her eyes, deep as tranquil lakes, were clear yet enigmatic, as if they could draw one’s soul in even through the poster.

Her soft pink lips curved slightly, carrying an indescribable allure in that faint, teasing smile.

Bold letters on the poster proclaimed…

3 Days Later.

Academy City, City Square-Magic Feather Fantasia’s Debut Stage!

Live Broadcast Across all 32 Cities of the Continent!

Chu Tian looked at the poster, a meaningful smirk tugging at his lips.

He mused inwardly, “This woman… Just a few days apart, and she’s already become an idol star in Academy City?”

Within moments, numerous passersby streamed past him, their conversations revolving around the woman on the poster and the upcoming debut stage of Magic Feather Fantasia in three days.

Whether it was the girl’s peerless beauty on the poster, the unconventional performance style distinct from ordinary song-and-dance troupes, or the participation of a mage as the center-stage idol-everything made the event highly buzzworthy.

Clearly, the promotional efforts had achieved remarkable success.

Magic Feather Fantasia?

Are they trying to create an idol group in another world?

He had to admit-the idea was undeniably creative.

This is actually quite interesting.

Before teleporting to Academy City, the forces Chu Tian had established in the Monster Forest had eliminated their greatest obstacle-the Lizardmen tribe.

After the battle, he had also rescued several capable human assistants.

Some had displayed extraordinary courage in combat.

Others possessed unique skills.

He tasked them with temporarily managing the Monster Kingdom, handling daily affairs, and maintaining order.

Then, he spent 50,000 Provocation Points in the system to purchase a magic array capable of absorbing negative emotions within a several-kilometer radius.

The absorbed negative emotions were stored in a container, which cost him another 10,000 Provocation Points.

This way, even while in Academy City, the magic array would continuously harvest negative emotions from the imprisoned monsters in his stronghold.

All he needed to do was return weekly to collect the nearly overflowing stockpile.

This arrangement ensured his activities in the Academy City wouldn’t be hindered while continuously providing him with the boost of Annoyance Points for his strength improvement.

Perfect timing.

The faction he had established had expanded too rapidly, absorbing too much power in a short time, resulting in an unstable foundation.

Under such circumstances, recklessly expanding beyond the Monster Forest wouldn’t be wise.

Now was the time to consolidate and solidify their current gains.

Meanwhile, Academy City offered him a chance to relax during this period.

And perhaps, while he was at it, he could indulge in some amusement with that woman-witnessing firsthand what kind of spectacle the idol group she was involved in could create.

At this moment.

Chu Tian couldn’t help but picture Su Nian on stage a girl like an angel descending to the mortal world, clad in dazzling attire, dancing gracefully under brilliant lights.

Her voice, ethereal as a heavenly melody, echoed across the plaza, capturing everyone’s attention as she radiated her dazzling brilliance.

Yet, deep within Chu Tian’s heart, a fierce possessiveness stirred.

In truth, he didn’t want to see that girl belong to the stage or to everyone else.

What he truly desired was for her to belong solely to him.

Just as Su Nian, Amy, and Lise were preparing for their debut performance.

Matthew set out once again for the city square.

This time.

He was recruiting again.

That’s right.

What he sought were guards for Magic Feather Fantasia.

Though Academy City had decent security, and Magic Feather Fantasia wasn’t touring other cities-meaning guards shouldn’t be necessary-

Matthew had already thought ahead.

Magic Feather Fantasia had immense potential, especially Su Nian, who was bound to attract countless supporters.

What if an overzealous fan got too close?

Or worse, someone with malicious intent targeted her?

Magic Feather Fantasia would be ruined!

Thus, they needed a guard strong enough to handle such threats.

And so.

After spending a hefty sum to rent the city square stage for another day, Matthew organized a small-scale martial tournament.

The strongest fighter would be invited to join Magic Feather Fantasia as the head of security.

Monthly salary: 2 gold coins.

Additional generous bonuses for repelling threats.

On the stage, blades flashed and fists flew.

Among the many participants, Chu Tian-clad in silver armor and wielding a longsword-stood out distinctly.

His posture was upright, like an ancient pine, exuding an intangible pressure just by standing there.

The moment he stepped onto the stage, the world seemed to fall silent, all eyes involuntarily drawn to him.

Facing each challenger, Chu Tian remained composed.

His gaze radiated confidence and calm.

Against these applicants, he didn’t need magic, much less the abilities tied to the [Dark Supreme].

Simple techniques were enough to defeat them.

As time passed, the tournament neared its conclusion.

Unsurprisingly, Chu Tian emerged as the final victor.

Which meant he had successfully secured the position of Magic Feather Fantasia’s head of security.

Evening.

Chu Tian stood outside Magic Feather Fantasia’s headquarters.

He was about to see that woman again.

Who knew how things would unfold this time?

Would it be like in Flash Town, where they’d eat together, watch the sunrise, and go shopping…

Or would it be in a private space, placing shackles and a collar around this dreamlike girl’s neck?

Just then, Matthew walked over and patted Chu Tian’s shoulder: “Chu Tian, the safety of Magic Feather Fantasy is in your hands now, especially Su Nian’s. Don’t let me down.”

“Of course, I’ll protect Su Nian well,” Chu Tian replied casually.

Provided that woman didn’t deceive him again.

This time, he decided to give her one more chance.

He hoped Su Nian would cherish it this time.
