Reincarnated as incubus: I didn't mean to seduce you!

Chapter 54 - 52 What Are You?

Putting aside the inexplicable feelings in Miss Lily’s heart, Kael looked at her with a smile in his eyes and said,

"Miss Lily, I originally thought that there was no need to trouble you for now, but it seems I might still need to ask for your help."

"Ah?"

"Go to the Mage Academy and visit your teacher, Mister Luxius, the Sovereign of the Energy Shaping faculty." Kael lifted the response letter in his hand, catching Lily’s attention.

Seeing the flame emblem of her teacher on the response letter, Lily chuckled softly, realizing that Kael had been in contact with her teacher even before he had arrived at the Royal Capital.

She just didn’t know what for.

Speaking of which, when Kael had saved her, he had used precise control to condense magic power into silk threads, along with silent spell casting, and used Greasy Technique and Freezing Aura with such skill that it didn’t seem like something someone of his age could master.

Thinking this, she felt a bit more disheartened.

Her life-saving benefactor was really strong!

Visiting her own teacher, was there something academic regarding spells that required consulting her teacher?

She didn’t ask any further, but simply followed what Kael had said, waiting until the coachman had cleaned the carriage at the door before joining him on the ride to the academy.

This time, however, the carriage lacked the undead, the maid, or the housekeeper; it was just the two of them riding together.

In the not too spacious carriage, a faint magic aroma was discernible, and Lily had smelled a similar scent in her teacher’s Magic Tower, but she always felt that the scent used by Kael was more pleasant.

"Young master, we’re here." As the carriage gradually came to a stop, the coachman’s voice interrupted Lily’s thoughts.

"Let’s go, carriage movement is not allowed within the academy, we’ll need to walk a bit further." Kael opened the door and stepped out, offering his hand to help Lily down.

But just as Lily stepped out, she heard a snort coming from the entrance: "The academy really does let anyone in nowadays."

Kael looked in the direction of the voice, only to see at the doorway a young man in a mage’s simple attire with a rather haughty expression, followed by two servants, staring unfriendly towards Kael.

Lily whispered, "It’s a student of Professor Salazar Snake; Kael, do you want me to drive them away for you?"

"No need, I do have a bit of an impression of them..."

To be precise, this memory came from his original self, when he was a librarian at the Mage Academy, where there were always one or two people shouting loudly in the library while he was on duty.

As a result, his original self had reprimanded them a few times expressionlessly, and had been troubled by the students not adhering to library order.

But now, from Kael’s perspective, it wasn’t merely a lack of adherence to order but rather intentional provocation.

His original self did not know who their teacher was and had no interest in investigating or collecting their information; had it not been for Lily mentioning their teacher directly, Kael might have not made the connection…

Mainly because he truly wasn’t motivated to squash ants.

These students were not deficient, but the fatal flaw of academy types was too little combat experience, as they wouldn’t have much time to fight on the front lines to quickly accumulate knowledge of spells.

For someone like Kael, who possessed unique skills and substantial combat experience, killing them wouldn’t be much harder than slaughtering chickens.

Would you care about kids even his original self didn’t care about?

After all, Kael couldn’t remember, let alone recall them… unless they kept showing up.

Kael raised an eyebrow and coldly said, "I don’t remember Salazar teaching you such rude behavior."

He knew this professor, Salazar. Within the academy, he was known for his extreme human supremacist views and, speaking of which, Kael had some disagreements and conflicts with him.

After all... he was the teacher of Harry D. Charles, and also the Academy Mage who had supported Harry at the Noble Council earlier.

It was confirmed, an enemy.

Upon hearing Kael directly address his teacher by name, the expression on the student’s face could no longer hold back as he angrily said:

"How did you even pass the Noble Council’s scrutiny to be allowed in the Royal Capital in the first place, who gave you the courage to address the teacher directly by name?!"

Kael’s gaze turned cold, before the student could react, the Magic Silk Thread snapped taut and, to the shock of the bystanders, he was suddenly hanging from a crooked tree at the entrance of the academy.

Kael said coldly, "Who really is clueless here? In terms of position, Salazar and I both belong to the faculty of the Academy, different systems, there is inherently no hierarchy.

In terms of magical achievement, we are both registered mages of the Mage Association, practically colleagues.

In terms of status, I have inherited my father’s title, stationed at the frontier, combating Monsters from the Dungeon. Salazar has taught students for many years, cultivating a core force for the Duchy.

Although our strengths differ, if we really have to measure it, no one can fault me for addressing him by his name directly. On the other hand, you first question the council’s scrutiny and then spout outrageous claims... what are you even?"

With a flick of Kael’s finger, the man hanging cried out like a pig being slaughtered, screaming hoarsely, "Let go, quickly let me down! What are you watching, what use are you guys... stop him, hurry up!"

Kael glanced at the servants rushing toward him with hesitant expressions, but without making it too difficult for them, the Magic Silk Thread flew out again and hung them up on the crooked tree before he dryly said to the student:

"Since you like assigning blame so much, keep quiet when the hat is on your head. If you want to play with respect and stature, you should have addressed me as ’Sir’ at least for knowing a little better. Now, just hang there on the tree and learn your lesson."

His fingertips pulled and released, and the spreading Magic Silk Thread instantly tightened, silencing the other party’s mouth.

As quiet returned to the entrance of the gate, an awkward voice spoke up, "Kael, that was perhaps a bit too much."

Kael turned his head to look in the direction of the voice, a young man with striking blonde hair that shone in the sunlight walked straight toward him.

"Harry D. Charles, like that person, is also a student of Salazar, and the top student of the sixth year," Miss Lily added softly.

Kael felt a slight stir in his heart, but his face showed no change, only calmly looking at this nominal cousin.

And to tell the truth, although not as handsome as himself, his appearance was quite upstanding and handsome, though the smile on his face seemed somewhat forced, as if he didn’t quite know how to face himself.

He seemed like a good person, which quite contradicted the image of the arrogant noble offspring Kael stereotypically imagined.

But… does his goodness have anything to do with Kael?

Kael immediately retorted, "Harry, my cousin, he stood up for you! And you, for whom are you making such proposals at the Noble Council?"

Harry seemed taken aback by Kael’s remark, showing a surprised expression and after a moment of silence, he sighed and said:

"Kael, we have never met, and you might have some misunderstandings about me, but I still stand by my view, you should know, the Duchy of Engkland was established more than two hundred years ago.

Over these years, as the federal power has grown increasingly strong, Engkland has also reaped the benefits of development, but how many people have paid attention to those emerging nobles who fell through the cracks as the Duchy developed?

Most of them were elites or geniuses in various professions, they could have gone much further on their own paths. I think it’s fine to grant them noble status, but sending them to the frontier when they needed protection the most...

Kael, not everyone is you, not everyone has the ability to withstand risks, you have the protection of Sword Maniac, not every emerging noble can boast that."

Kael glanced at his sincere expression, his lips curling into a smile as he said, "You, are quite interesting."

Harry paused, not expecting Kael to say that, scratched his face, seemingly a bit embarrassed.

Only, he had no idea that Kael, sometimes liked to speak in reverse.
