The Demon Queen's Disciple
Chapter 50 - Return to Academy

On this sunny morning, Lucius walked quite quickly towards his classroom.

Class F.

Classes that contain people who failed in education at this academy. However, that does not mean they are all weak.

"Yo, Lucius." said Alex kindly from the corner of this room.

"It's rare to see you coming in the morning, Alex." replied Lucius who immediately took his things from inside the locker behind the class.

Lay out his books and stationery on the table next to Alex.

"Regarding your sword, I wonder. How can it melt?" ask Alex.

Lucius looked at the curious figure of Alex with a flat gaze. Think of the best answer to give him.

However, he did not want his classmates to know the real reason.

"I tried fire magic with all my Mana. Then the sword melted away just like that." Lucius replied.

"Haha.... Really? Then aren't you very strong? At the forging site, it takes 10 more witches to melt and forge it." Alex said with a light laugh.

"You're still stronger than me, aren't you?"

"It used to be, maybe." Alex replied with a pretty sharp look.

After arranging the book neatly, Lucius asked again. Now the most important thing for him right now.

"Then, how much do I have to pay this time? I will be honest, the current cost is already difficult." Lucius lamented.

"Then, are you interested in doing a little bit of side work for me?" alex asked, now with a very serious look.

"Sweet, money-mad shit."

"Business is business. It has nothing to do with friendship." she replied with a light laugh.

...........

...[.Bandits keep troubling my trading troupe. If it continues, I will receive a loss of thousands more gold coins.]...

...[.Of course I can ask for help from the mercenary family belonging to the Max family. But the thing is, they're expensive and we don't even know where the bandits are. Find their hiding location, then destroy everything. The pay I can prepare is 400 gold coins. The deadline is one week.]...

After reading the letter with the official seal from the Brown family, Lucius could only laugh lightly while covering his face.

"Hahaha, it's not even enough to pay off the previous sword. Moreover, the cost for repairing his sword.... Huh.... Alright. It doesn't matter." Lucius said to himself as he laid his body on his bed.

'Lucius, before that, I think it's time.' Carmilla said suddenly.

"When? What's for?"

'You're ready to put up a second magic ring.'

The Stellastra magic ring. Original Magic by Carmilla itself. Provides significantly increased Mana capacity and regeneration to its owner.

Allows them to go beyond the limits referred to as talent itself, with hard work.

"Aah, about that. Honestly, I was a little upset that I wasn't installed before the fight against the demon. If only you had put it up by then...."

Lucius thought, if only then he already had a second magic ring, it was possible that the casualties from the adventurer side would not be this much.

Maybe even....

He was able to prevent the death of the Ironclad squad itself.

But what happened cannot happen again. Now Lucius could only face what was in front of him.

'At that time, your body was not ready. If forced, you will die.' Carmilla replied.

"Is that so?"

'You're this.... Not interested, huh?' ask Carmilla again.

Lucius was eager to reply to Carmilla's words with the fact that he was still depressed. Looking at the group he respected, being killed just like that before the nameless demon.

But he was also aware, constantly thinking about it would be useless.

Perhaps Lucius will again lose the figure of the closest person due to his weakness.

"No. I'm very interested. So what do I need to prepare?" reply Lucius brief.

'A magic operation on your eyes. True as well, this would also be very beneficial for the bandit's hunting mission.'

"Huh? Whatchu mean?" lucius asked in confusion.

'Clairvoyance Eye's. You've also encountered this ability at the academy.' Carmilla replied.

Hearing that answer, Lucius fell silent for a while. Think over who Carmilla meant.

It didn't take long for Lucius to figure out the answer.

"Don't say.... Frostbourne Luna?"

'That's right, ' Carmilla replied in a slightly happy tone.

Clairvoyance Eye's. Of course Lucius who had studied in the magic academy knew just how strong those eyes were.

As the name suggests, these eyes allow the owner to see everything in this world. Starting from the Mana stream, the traces of Mana usage, traces of magic formations, and also improved the normal vision of the owner drastically.

So even if there is no light, the owner of this eye can follow the trail of Mana in front of him to move.

Clairvoyance Eye is said to be only obtainable from extremely difficult magic operations. Only a few high-ranking noble families knew how to do it.

Not to mention, there is an opportunity to fail and damage the eyes of its users. It makes him blind forever.

That's why most who do this magic eye surgery, only do it on one of their eyes. Even if the surgery fails, they still have one eye to see.

Just like Luna who only had it on her left eye.

"How do you know how to make those eyes?" lucius asked in confusion.

But the answer he got, never in the first place.

'How? Whatchu mean? I was the one who created the magic operation. Although I don't know how humans can imitate it. At that time I also just called it the magic eye.'

"Eh?"

Even after being with him all this time....

Carmilla was always able to surprise Lucius with her abilities. Is it possible that a figure as great as this is just an ordinary demon? That is what Lucius has always questioned up to this point.

'Anyway, mine is the original version. Much more perfect than a human clone.' Carmilla responded proudly.

Lucius was silent. Feeling that even his untalented self, could reach abilities that were only limited to high-level nobles.

Because that's....

"Then, please give me those eyes" Lucius said as he stood up and bowed to a mirror in his room.

For an instant, Lucius could feel that Carmilla was smiling satisfied with her attitude.

'Then sorry but be prepared. This is much more painful than the installation of a magic ring.

With those words, Carmilla immediately took over Lucius' body.

He soon created many ice balls using his right hand.

"Lucius, I'm serious. It's gonna hurt a lot" Carmilla said, using Lucius' body.

Carmilla's left hand was seen holding some ice balls just now. Sticking it around Lucius' left eye while standing right in front of the mirror.

While his right hand made dozens of very complicated magic formations on his palm.

The series of stacked magic formations were of different sizes. But the further away from his palm, the smaller it was.

"Prepare" Carmilla said as she placed her right hand right in front of her eyes.

Dozens of drill-like magic formations slowly began to be inserted into his left eye.

Which happened after that....
