Miss Witch’s Devotion Has Gone… Twisted

"Alright, alright, I'll make one for you next time."

Loren stroked Reflection Naclis's hair and promised.

After all, most of the equipment from the Bountiful Magic Academy had been brought back by Loren, so he could now craft accessories at home.

"I want one too!"

Anna instantly joined the bandwagon, raising her hand as well.

"Alright, alright…"

Loren agreed to Anna's request. Laila also felt a slight urge, but in the end, she didn't speak up. After all, in her view, this was just children acting spoiled, and it wouldn't be appropriate for her, as a parental figure, to join in.

"Since I have free time lately, I might as well make one for everyone."

Loren had also noticed Laila's thoughts and casually added.

After the meal, Loren went straight back to his bedroom. He had spent the entire day in the lab, so it was time to rest.

Scarlett sneakily slipped into Loren's bedroom, intending to have a match with him before he went to sleep.

She rarely sparred one-on-one with Loren; usually, Mirrorheart guided her. And even after all this time, she was still as clumsy as ever.

...

The next day, Loren didn't wake up until noon. Scarlett woke up even later than him. After getting up, Loren first wiped the drool from the corner of Scarlett's mouth.

He felt it was time to wash his pillow—Scarlett's drool had already soaked it.

"Good morning…"

Loren yawned and greeted everyone who was about to have lunch.

"Master Mentor, I need to go to the Gedlan Royal Magic Academy this afternoon."

As soon as he sat down, Loren heard Luna's request.

Even now, Luna would ask Loren for permission before doing anything.

"What are you going back to the academy for?"

Like Paqina, she had stopped attending the academy after receiving her degree from the Bountiful Magic Academy. Although she had only gone there out of boredom before, now she preferred to spend more time looking at Loren.

"I gave Jessica her degree certificate before, and she begged me for a favor—to find a time to deliver it to the classroom…"

"Alright… I'll go with you…"

Loren understood Jessica's behavior. Returning home in glory without showing it off was like wearing fine clothes at night. You had to let your acquaintances know how amazing you were now—that was the real deal.

Especially since those people used to look down on her.

Originally, under Loren's influence, her status had already risen, but she hadn't really gained anything substantial.

This time, though, it was different. She had the degree from the Bountiful Magic Academy.

This was the top-ranked academy in the God of Bountiful Harvest's territory.

"Thank you."

Luna expressed her gratitude to Loren, but the only reason Loren wanted to go with her was to watch the show.

Luna had a kind nature. Even though she was no longer the same person she used to be, she wouldn't rub it in Princess Sylvia's face. But Jessica was different.

She was just an ordinary girl. Even though she was also kind, she wasn't as forgiving as Luna. Given the chance, she would definitely rub it in the faces of those who had bullied her.

"Is this thing really that valuable?"

Anna had also received a degree certificate, but she clearly didn't take it seriously. She had no idea where she had put it now.

"It's just so-so. Sometimes it can even have negative effects. If war really breaks out, these people are prime recruitment material."

The wars here were different from conventional ones. Conflicts between mortals had only one goal: to weaken the faith in the enemy god and provide support for the Divine War.

So, there was no need to worry about the future at all. As long as the Divine War was won, it wouldn't matter even if the entire younger generation died off.

...

After the meal, Loren followed Luna back to the academy. However, he didn't show himself—he was afraid that his presence would make Jessica hold back.

They made their way to the classroom door. Luna didn't want to disrupt the regular class, so she waited until it was over before going in.

"Mas… Master Mentor…"

The teacher who walked out of the classroom saw Loren and immediately started stammering.

"It's none of your business. You can go."

"Yes…"

The teacher nodded and hurried away.

The gap in their status was too great, to the point where he didn't even have the urge to flatter him.

The moment Luna entered the classroom, she caught everyone's attention. Especially Sylvia, who instinctively lowered her head, not daring to look at Luna.

She used to sit in the front row, but now she was sitting in an inconspicuous spot in the middle. Her sharp edge had long been dulled.

"Jessica, I've come to deliver something to you…"

Luna felt a bit awkward. She thought this was too deliberate, making her seem unnatural. But Jessica clearly didn't care about that.

"What did you bring me?"

Seeing Jessica's exaggerated acting, Luna felt even more awkward. Without saying a word, she simply handed the degree certificate to her.

After Jessica took the certificate, her acting became even more over-the-top. She walked straight over to Sylvia.

"Your Highness the Princess, do me a favor, will you?"

"Someone as lowly as me can't even read. Could you take a look and tell me what this is?"

As she spoke, Jessica waved the certificate in front of Sylvia's face. The awkwardness was so intense that Luna felt like leaving.

Even with the blatant taunt right in her face, Sylvia didn't lift her head. She looked like a complete pushover.

But Loren didn't sympathize with her either. Compared to what she had done to Luna and the others before, this was nothing.

In fact, Jessica's actions had only been verbal taunts. She hadn't caused Sylvia any physical or financial harm.

"Oh wow, this is actually the degree certificate from the Bountiful Magic Academy—the one you desperately tried to get into but couldn't…"

"You couldn't even get admitted, and I've already earned the degree. Looks like this thing isn't as valuable as I thought."

Jessica casually slipped the certificate into her pocket, though she was actually extremely careful, afraid of folding it even a little.

"Farewell, noble ladies and gentlemen. If it weren't for this academy, you'd never have had the chance to see someone on my level in your entire lives."

After mocking Sylvia, Jessica then taunted all the nobles.

She directly tore her textbook apart, scattering the pages all over the floor, then turned around and walked away with flair.

A few seconds later, she ran back and picked up the trash.

"Luna, this felt so amazing! I was so excited thinking about what I was going to do today that I couldn't even sleep last night!"

Even as they left the classroom, Jessica was still chattering away to Luna.

"It really was pretty satisfying."

Loren chimed in at the perfect moment, instantly freezing Jessica in place.

"Mas… Master Mentor? When did you get here?"

"I came to escort Luna."

"So… you saw everything that just happened?"

"Yep."

"…"

Jessica's smile instantly froze. All she wanted to do right now was smash her head against the wall.

Loren kept a smile on his face, but it wasn't one of mockery.
