Case solved!
So it turns out…………..
This is how a sworn enemy gets revenge!
In that instant, Keti completed her grand analysis, and deeply regretted her naïveté just moments ago.
Yeah, that’s right.
She had been thinking too simply before.
How could someone like Lynn, who harbored such deep hatred toward her, use something as trivial as sexual harassment to get back at her?
It must be…it must be because she became a girl, and was always worried about the changes in her body, that she developed such misconceptions, right?
But, in reality…………..
Compared to tormenting her pride, the best revenge this sworn enemy could think of was………..
A double attack on her mind and body!
So, so terrifying, this person!
First, he pretended to take her in, then dumped all his work on her, making her work for free, becoming his dependent ox and horse, a slave!
Then, he sits alone in the office drinking tea, still collecting his salary every month without fail, and even……………
Even her own salary isn’t coming out of his pocket!
From Lynn’s point of view, just imagine: making your enemy work for you, enjoying her labor for free, watching her exhaust herself to support you while you eat for free………………is there anything more satisfying than this?!
How terrifying! Just how twisted must someone’s heart be to come up with such a beastly idea?
Damn it—!
Thinking of this, Keti bit her lip in grievance.
She knew it, Lynn had a deep mind, there was no way he could be so kind.
Seeing the deep suspicion in the girl’s eyes, Lynn hurriedly coughed twice, then explained: “Hey, hey, don’t look at me with such a resentful expression. I’m not in the office every day, you know. Honestly, there are other things I have to do. But if you need help, I can spare some time to assist you. Besides, didn’t I already say? This is actually good for your Teaching Assistant career, too.”
“What good could there be?”
Keti unconsciously pouted, feeling that whatever benefits he mentioned would just be something like “at least you get paid, you have days off, all the benefits you deserve”—that sort of thing.
This kind of pua, she wasn’t buying it!
But, in the next second, Lynn’s words actually surprised her a little.
“There really are benefits! By the way, Keti, have you heard of Teaching Credits?”
“Uh………………I think I’ve heard about it………………”
Keti blinked her eyes.
“Isn’t it a system similar to the Credits system for Magic Academy students? If students accumulate 5000 Credits within five years, they can graduate, and if they reach 10,000 Credits, they can advance to the Magic Tower, and as for Teaching Credits, teachers need to accumulate a certain amount to X…………”
Something seemed off?
As she spoke, Keti realized there was a problem.
She had studied at the Magic Academy and understood the Credits system pretty well, but for teachers………………something didn’t seem right.
Official Teachers at the Lidel Imperial Capital Magic Academy are all members of the Magic Tower, so it’s impossible the reward is to join again, right?
Uh…could there be other rewards?
No!
The problem is, it was Lynn who brought up Teaching Credits, so could it be…the reward system for Teaching Assistants?
“Hmm, looks like little Keti has figured it out. For Official Teachers, the school can’t really offer any incentives besides money. But for Teaching Assistants, there’s a promotion system similar to the students’ Credits. The academic office folks will, under various circumstances, award Teaching Credits to outstanding Teaching Assistants.”
“As long as you accumulate 10,000 Teaching Credits and pass the Magic Tower’s test, you can become an Official Teacher at the Academy. Not only will your salary and benefits increase significantly, but the school can’t fire you anymore, and you can formally enter the Magic Tower…By the way, Keti, you know what the Magic Tower is, right?”
“How could I not know…”
Keti rolled her eyes at him, feeling like Lynn was treating her like an idiot.
Even if her Magic talent was low, she was still a Magic User, how could she not know?
The Magic Tower is the official Magic User management agency of the Lider Empire, responsible for bringing all powerful Magic Users within the Empire under its unified management, giving them generous treatment and even extraordinary privileges, while ensuring these strong individuals remain under the Empire’s control.
Because of this, entering the Magic Tower is extremely difficult.
Only the most outstanding individuals are qualified to join, just like Keti mentioned before—accumulating 10,000 Credits.
It might sound like just double the graduation requirement, but……………….in reality, there’s a cap on how many Credits you can earn.
Relying on course performance, the most you can get is about 4,000 Credits, and the rest are extremely hard to obtain.
So, anyone who manages to reach 10,000 Credits is, without a doubt, a rare genius who catches the Magic Tower’s eye.
No way.
And inside the Magic Tower, experts are everywhere.
Compared to the real powerhouses in the Tower, the newcomers are worlds apart.
Especially…the five members of the Magic Tower Council, the so-called Five Consuls who are said to be the strongest in the world—all selected from within the Magic Tower, each representing the strongest of the five professions in this world.
If any of them were to die unexpectedly, their replacements would also be chosen from the most powerful members within the Magic Tower.
Because of this, the terrifying power of the Magic Tower Council makes this institution the true center of power in the Lider Empire.
The Five Consuls are the real rulers of the Empire, while the royal family…is just a mascot on the surface.
In a word, the Magic Tower is the Empire’s powerful Magic User management institution, as well as the talent pool for the Magic Tower Council, the Empire’s governing body.
Joining the Magic Tower is the dream of the vast majority of Magic Users.
“Yeah…that’s why I said, this is a good opportunity.”
Lynn nodded, seeing that the girl more or less understood, and continued: “In the past, Teaching Credits weren’t very useful. But ever since last year’s reforms, Teaching Credits have become the only way to become an Official Teacher at this Magic Academy, and one of the easier ways to join the Magic Tower.”
“So now there are a lot more Teaching Assistants at school, and many of them are quite competitive, it’s not as leisurely as you’d think. If you directly take over an entire class, you’ll accumulate Teaching Credits much faster, giving you an advantage.”
“Uh………………I see……”
Keti listened, nodding thoughtfully.
That made sense. If things were as her nemesis said, then indeed, taking over Lynn’s work would help her accumulate Teaching Credits quickly.
And at this moment, the silver-haired girl was truly tempted.
If she really could join the Magic Tower, then she absolutely……………absolutely had to go for it!
After all, even Alice and the others hadn’t been able to achieve that.
It’s just that……………10,000 Credits, this…………………
