Doggone Academy

Sylverine was thoughtful. She still couldn’t be completely sure.

It was useless to question Damien. He couldn’t explain why he had a good ability to regenerate mana. He didn’t even have any knowledge about it.

Sylverine stroked the ring on her finger with her thumb. It was one of the best artifacts she possessed. This artifact could allow her to access Damien’s past.

But if she uses this less-than-honest method to uncover his darkest secrets, her relationship with Damien could be destroyed forever.

He could close the door to his heart.

Now is not the time.

Sylverine withdrew her thumb from her ring.

“Master?”

He looked worriedly at the maid who sat on the ground. She was breathing heavily.

“…Is she fine?”

It seemed he didn’t know he was the culprit.

“No. I’m going to call someone to help her.”

She had to explain to him about the magic pressure.

Sylverine pulled out a Stitch.

“I’ll do it. No need to call someone else.”

Damien quickly placed the maid on his back.

The embarrassed maid resisted, but could not help herself.

He stood up with the maid on his back.

At first the maid had to help him. But now that he had trained for a few days, he could carry the maid even when his mana had bottomed out.

Sylverine slightly smiled.

It’s fun to raise him.

The mansion was at the end of the road that had trees on both sides. She felt a sense of déjà vu while walking because the trees kept the same shape.

This landscape looked like the result of someone’s obsession.

The butler came out to greet her.

“It is an honor to see you.”

He failed to hide his fear on his face before the Great Mage, despite the fact that they had asked Sylverine for help before

“Where is the owner of this place that a butler has to come to greet me?”

She looked 30 years younger than the head of the Raylee family, but she openly complained.

These abrupt words surprised the butler.

“He had to accept a summons from the royal family.”

“Coward.”

“I sincerely apologize for the inconvenience caused.”

Even though this was related to his only relative, he asked someone else to do it, as if it was inconvenient for him to do it personally. Posted only on NovelUtopia.com

“…My lord always does his best.”

Sylverine laughed.

The butler led her inside the mansion.

“She’s here.”

He stopped before the door to a room.

Sylverine opened it. There was no furniture in this room, not even a window, only a girl who looked to be about ten years old was sitting on the floor.

The girl was waving her arms in the air.

The Raylee family was the best elementalist family in the Empire.

This girl was Luna, a genius elementalist who had inherited the Spirit King’s Blessing, which had been passed down from generation to generation in the Raylee family.

Her lips moved as though she spoke some words. But nothing could be heard, as if thick transparent walls were around her.

Suddenly, she laughed.

It seemed to the butler that Luna was playing with a ghost.

But Sylverine could feel it.

There were many spirits in Luna’s room.

And she spoke in the language of spirits.

A girl who learned the language of spirits before that of humans.

She for a long time refused to communicate with humans.

Not even Luna’s parents could talk to her.

Her parents asked Sylverine who belonged to the Eternia Academy for help.

The room became Luna’s domain.

Sylverine nonchalantly entered Luna’s domain. The spirits would have immediately attacked anyone else.

Luna, who finally reacted, looked nervously at Sylverine.

She shouted to the spirits to get her out.

But the spirits did nothing. They were frightened.

Luna was puzzled.

These spirits could not touch Sylverine, because she was a superior being to Luna.

Luna backed away in fear.
