I didn’t know how many hours had passed. My throat was so dry it felt like it might split, and my stomach growled loudly, but I couldn’t rest because Viscount Magine was glaring at me persistently.
“I barely solved the simultaneous equations.”
I wiped the sweat that had formed on my forehead without realizing it. The problem on the blackboard was a typical Jack and Jill problem.
Of course, it was presented as Jack and Jill in the magic book.
“Tsk, I couldn’t explain it properly.”
Viscount Magine licked his lips.
Before he could pick apart my explanation, a remark urging him to reconsider his intelligence reached the tip of his tongue, but I swallowed it, thinking of the Madeline organization members.
Fortunately, this time, perhaps having finally understood, Viscount Magine had a somewhat satisfied expression.
“I need to test if you explained it properly.”
Viscount Magine found the potion formula on the magic book, which was previously written on the blackboard, and unfolded it.
“Jack can carry twice the amount of Jill minus 9, and if Jill can carry three times the amount of Jack, how much can Jack and Jill each carry?”
After mumbling the problem, Viscount Magine laid his hand on the magic book. If he understood the solution correctly, he just needed to infuse magic into the magic book where the answer was already written.
Then, he would immediately gain several times more power than usual.
With a triumphant smile, Viscount Magine forcefully pressed down on the magic book.
“Ha!”
Viscount Magine sighed. Then, he lightly touched the end of the desk. The firm wood instantly turned into dust.
Viscount Magine squeezed and released his hands several times, as if in disbelief. Then, he tore his lips apart.
“I had a hunch that you, a girl with barely any magic power, turned the Viscount’s estate into a mess, but seeing it for myself, you’re certainly something.”
Looking at the pile of dust on the floor, my heart became heavy. Viscount Magine’s magic power was this powerful even without reaching intermediate magic in the magic book.
If he could solve even more difficult potion formulas, I didn’t want to imagine what might happen.
Viscount Magine began to search the magic book. It seemed like he was looking for a new potion formula.
“It’s nothing special.”
After closely examining the magic book for a while, Viscount Magine placed his hand on a new potion formula.
In an instant, a flash of light occurred, and a huge flame erupted from Viscount Magine’s palm. The flames that shot up to the ceiling were a vivid blue that stung the eyes.
“Ah, surprising!”
I, who almost had my face completely burned, hid behind the blackboard.
I, with no consideration for my safety, watched Viscount Magine laugh while continuously searching the magic book.
Whether he intended to experiment with all first-degree equation problems or not, Viscount Magine began experimenting with magic haphazardly, from speed magic to levitation magic.
Amidst all the loud noises and explosions, I couldn’t even peek my head out from behind the blackboard.
And finally, the sound of Viscount Magine closing the magic book was heard.
“Okay, this should do.”
As I raised my head, I met the gaze of Viscount Magine staring at me intently.
“This should be enough.”
I had a ominous feeling.
“Since you’re the only one who can solve the formulas in the back.”
Viscount Magine’s eyes narrowed as he looked at me. The feathers on the back of his neck stood up.
I sensed it instinctively. It was dangerous.
Viscount Magine raised his dagger and slowly approached me.
“I think it’s time for you to die.”
Viscount Magine leaped towards me.
“Thunk!”
There was no time to react.
In an instant, Viscount Magine tightly grasped my neck and effortlessly lifted my body. I struggled, but his hand didn’t budge, and my throat only became more constricted.
“You’ve messed up my plans several times. Now I can finally have proper revenge.”
Viscount Magine twirled the dagger.
“Thinking about all the things I’ve suffered, I can’t just let you off easily.”
And he thrust it into my abdomen.
“Ugh.”
Involuntarily, a painful groan escaped. It was a terrible pain. The dagger that penetrated my flesh felt like it was made of flames rather than cold iron.
Tears streamed down my eyes without a moment to breathe, and I saw Hiss watching with an indifferent expression from one corner of my vision.
If I died, Hiss would never be free. And Madeline’s organization would ascend the scaffold just like this.
As I struggled in a last-ditch effort, the dagger dug deeper, but I didn’t stop.
“Tsk. Like a bug.”
Though my vision began to fade, other senses were still vivid. Magine’s voice tauntingly licking my ear. The hard surface of the chalkboard under my fingertips.
With my last ounce of strength, I gathered my power and blew it into the chalkboard. More precisely, onto the Flame Potion Formula on the last page of the magic book I had solved.
“You, surely…!”
My Ex-Girlfriend Is The Regent In The Female-dominant World (Male lead transmigrates to the matriarchal world)
Two years ago, Gu Sui picked up a homeless woman in ancient costume from the street.
Apart from occasionally claiming to be a princess from a female-dominant country due to illness, her figure, appearance, intelligence, and martial arts skills were impeccable.
Naturally evolving from roommates to girlfriends, as time went on, Gu Sui found it increasingly difficult to tolerate her queen syndrome.
“Mu Jiulu, can you stop controlling me inside and out? Let’s break up.”
Gu Sui made a breakup call, and since then, he couldn’t find any trace of her.
A year later, Gu Sui, who was planning to move, woke up the next day and found himself in a different place.
“Young Master, today is the day you choose your Wife-master through martial arts competition at Jade Dew Pavilion. Please get up quickly.”
Gu Sui: Who am I? Where am I? What am I doing?
As the only son of a general’s mansion in a female-dominant dynasty, the young empress personally issued a decree allowing Gu Sui to select his Wife-master through martial arts competition. Whoever could defeat him could marry him.
Gu Sui: “……”
He didn’t inherit the original owner’s martial prowess, so anyone could defeat him! And what the hell is a Wife-master?
Forced to come to Jade Dew Pavilion, the densely packed women below made Gu Sui’s agoraphobia act up, and his face was full of resistance.
Until he saw the Regent sitting on the second floor, with a smile on the corner of her lips, her eyes wicked and nonchalant.
Hmm… she looked a little familiar.
It turned out that the Regent also found him a little familiar.
Mu Jiulu fiddled with her bone clasp, her deep gaze locked on the man who was out of place in this world.
“Finally, I found you.”
