“What…..?”

Even when I saw Cassius looking at me with a smile, I couldn’t understand his words for a while.

He also seemed to notice that I was confused.

Suddenly, twinkling his yellow eyes and turning the bottle around in his hand, he called Astra in a relaxed manner.

“Astra.”

“Yes?”

At the sudden call, Astra answered with a startling surprise.

To such Astra, Cassius thrust out the DXellaria in question.

“Now we’re done with the tests, and we don’t have any tests tomorrow, so it’d be alright to drink today.”

Cacius murmured, gazing toward the side of Boyleis.

“I’m sorry, can you drink a little bit of the liquid in this bottle?”

Soon he turned his head again and fixed his eyes on Astra.

“What? I, I can drink this, but……… would it be helpful?”

Cassius nodded quietly at her remark.

“Yes. It’ll be a lot of help.”

As she looked around at the noisy students around her, Astra looked confused.

But soon she went forward, clenched her fists, and accepted the vial from Cassius.

“How much should I drink?”

“One sip is enough.”

Nodding her head, Astra immediately opened the cap on the vial and inhaled the greasy purple liquid.

“Well, is this enough…..?”

“Yes, I think it’s enough. Can you just stand there for a second?”

I couldn’t imagine how this act would prove that the DXellaria was fake.

But under these circumstances, Cassius could not have played a prank, and most of all, I could not say anything when he saw his bright yellow eyes shining seriously.

Cassius, who had been staring at Astra, who had his index finger around his mouth for a while, soon told everyone.

“I’m sure. This isn’t DXellaria.”

As Cassius repeated the words, the hall began to rattle.

“But how did you figure it out…?”

“I don’t know. But I don’t think it makes sense that Lady Spade would drink DXellaria.”

“That’s what it is–”

Then there was a sudden split cry from the back.

“B, but!”

The eyes of the very one turned to the one who made the sound.

It was none other than Boyleis who broke in and shouted.

“It’s, it’s obvious in the test…….that it was positive….”

Unlike the passionate cries, Boyleis took a step back, blurring the end of his words.

Then Cassius, who opened his yellow eyes and glared at him, opened his mouth in a low voice.

“Because it was just a simple test. I’m sure a thorough examination will tell us that it’s negative.”

Cassius, who said so, handed the violet bottle to Rayall.

“If it’s you, you’ll know why I’m saying this.”

Feeling confused, Rayl took the vial from Cassius with both hands and put the vial on his hand then began to spin it around.

When everyone was watching Rayl in a situation that couldn’t be understood, he suddenly opened his eyes wide and shouted.

“Oh.”

Rayl’s reaction instantly thumped my heart.

As Cassius said, isn’t that really a DXellaria?

“…….. no air bubbles. I wish I had looked at the vial first.”

Cassius rolled up the corners of his mouth and smiled at Rayl’s still murmuring words.

“Am I right?”

“Yes, that’s right. This isn’t DXellaria.”

The classroom quickly quieted down when Rayl, who was keen on the magic potion, professed himself.

Even at that moment, the students were divided into two classes. Those who finally smile with a relieved look on their faces, and those who sweat in dismay.

Some of the students in the latter group refuted, citing the results of the simplified test.

“But I’m sure you said it was positive–”

“Oh, that’s possible, because this medicine has the same ingredients as DXellaria.”

The student who pointed at me before spoke in a trembling voice after hearing the calm and harsh words of Cassius.

“What do you mean by the same ingredients, then that drug is DXellii!”

“No, it’s different. Anyone who has studied the art of Dieraria at least once will know it.”

Rayl nodded at Cassius’s words and leaned in a word.

“Dieraria is famous for its enormous variety of materials to produce small amounts. But it’s hard to make one because it’s difficult, not only to get the ingredients but also the process of grooming them.”

Cassius, with a pleased smile, soon added to Rayl’s words.

“If you combine the ingredients without proper grooming in the process, the effect of DXellaria will not appear on the drug at all. It becomes a simple mixture with no magic effect.”

“H, how do we know if that effect will appear or not?”

Cassius spoke clearly, interrupting Boyleis excitement.

“I can tell that enough. In the proper DXellaria, bubbles always rise.”

Only then did I come to my senses.

No air bubbles were coming up from the violet magic potion in the transparent bottle that Rayl was carrying.

“The Prince is right. There’s a step where you have to add salt distilled water in the middle, and it seems like the maker of this potion just put in cold plain water instead of salt distilled water.”

Rayl spoke calmly, looking at the vial in the light of the lamp.

“So to say, that drug has the same ingredients as DXellaria, but it has no effect on increasing the amount of magic power. A simplified test based on the ingredients of the drug will only say positive.”

Cassius finally concluded it down and spoke.

I was amazed at his cleanliness and ability to cope with the incident, which was really unexpected.

“Even if you take that medicine, You can quickly see that there is no difference in the amount of magic power generated if You check it in front of the mana measuring crystal ball.”

There was nothing more to see.

The tide of war was leaning perfectly towards me.

“No way…….”

I’ve certainly heard one of Boyleis gang mutter like that.

As expected, I’m right that this incident is Boyleis work.

On the other hand, with a business smile, I turned toward the Boyleis.

“So, what do you think?”

“Y, You haven’t even had a thorough examination yet! Don’t be too excited–”

I blocked his words and laid my voice low with my red eyes fiercely raised.

“I’ll talk to the professor for a thorough examination as you want so much. Will you be satisfied then?”

Despite this, Boyleis tried to grasp the atmosphere and try to do evil.

“Then you should, so your dirty trick–”

“But then I need a witness, Boyleis.”

With a faint smile, Boyleis stammered and bowed his head.

“Well, that, what strange thing to do~”

With narrow eyes and a fishy smile, I kept my words straight and low.

“I’ll tell the professor everything.”

“Oh, of, of course then we’ll see–”

“I’ll do it, Boyleis.”

I said, flashing my red eyes.

“That I’ll be good in the future.”

Boyleis seemed to freeze at the moment when he saw myself clearly changed.

“Come on, let’s go to the professor’ room right now, and tell them that I cheated with a cheap drug that didn’t work.”

I smiled and thought to myself.

Now that you’ve touched me, your life is over.

I’ll show you the taste of hell.

“I obviously said yes but……!”

Edwin Boyleis had been tearing his hair out of the moonlit backyard garden for a long time, venting angry lamentations toward the air.

He made a plan to bring out a girl who humiliated him and didn’t know her place, but it was in vain.

“Damn, that woman…….”

Ever since the first round, he knew that Yerine Spade’s personality was not normal. And she never lets anyone who touches her go in a normal state.

So for about six days, how much effort did he put in?

If the plan succeeds, her performance could have been nullified and at the same time, he could have won the favour of the heir of Ace family, who should have shown good performance, by securing the top spot.

“Damn it, damn it!”

He clapped his feet on the floor of the stone.

As soon as she knew that the tide had turned, the woman quickly informed the professors of the facts. Within a few hours, the matter was transferred to the Academy’s Ethics Committee.

Now that he has been transferred to the committee, and that she is the successor of seven families, he would be likely to be expelled.

“Damn it–”

His relationship with Ace’s successor has been completely cut off due to his expulsion from school.

He had a hard time trying to please him, but as soon as today’s incident is over, Eugene Ace has unilaterally notified him that he will cut ties with his followers, including himself, forever.

Boyleis has been living a life of begging for the Ace, who boasts the highest status among the 7 Imperial Family. With such wealthy and magical power, his family chose to crawl like a dog in order to survive.

Such Boyleis purse strings were completely cut off.

It was all because of her.

“Damn it. Yerine Spade, if it wasn’t for that bitch.”

When he was shaking his hands and dangling, he felt a gloomy sense behind his back.

“What? That bitch?”

As the startled Boyleis looked behind his back, Cassius stood there, squinting his bright yellow eyes, shining like a beast in the dark.

“That’s not even funny.”

At that moment, Boyleis heart sank suddenly.

After the Royal Family, he had already turned all of the next successors of the 7 Imperial Family who had the most influence on the country as his enemy.

In such a situation, his future could not be darker than that to offend the Royal Family.

Cassius, who walks slowly, fluttering his black hair, overwhelmed Boyleis with great momentum, like a leopard just before biting its prey.

“You have big guts to call the successor of the 7 Imperial Family by that title, huh? You have no manner and courtesy at all.”

The moment he heard the voice, Boyleis felt as if he were standing in front of a beast, literally without any weapons.

With his low and heavy voice, which gave him goosebumps on his back, Boyleis whole body stiffened.

At the thought that only a little while later would one escape the situation, Boyleis belatedly bent over and stuttered.

“I, I greet Your Royal Highness…”….”

Looking coldly at the back of Boyle’s head, with his head bowed to himself, Cassius growled silently.

“Put it down and get up. ‘Cause I have a lot to talk to you about.”
