Epoch - 4

Holding the bamboo broomstick, Tania complained to him in an aggrieved manner, "Egan~ I was bullied."

"Who?"

"It's them. Remember I told you before, I have two senior sisters who are always targeting me. The elders came to inspect the alchemy room last night. They secretly exchanged my magic talisman with talismans of mischievous sorcery, as a result, it burst in the elder's face and so I was severely punished by the elder."

Tania had already been punished and it was all a done deal, but now, when she mentioned this in front of Egan, she suddenly couldn't help but feel even more aggrieved, and her tone was a little bit coquettish.

"I usually endure them because they are from the same magic tower. I give them face and let it slide, but they are getting worse as time goes by. It's too much, Egan, don't you think so too?" She cried in the communication key.

"If I knew how to use offensive spells more efficiently, I would definitely not take it lying down and directly fight them! But I'm too good for them, I can't use the same tricks as them and frame them in turn since I'm not a villain like them, they are too cheap! But the elder is also very partial, no matter how much evidence I have to prove my innocence, he would not believe me."

There was a moment of silence on the other side of the call, and it seemed as if Egan was fuming silently. When Tania thought that he would stay mute forever if she didn't urge and coax him from this side, Egan spoke in a cold voice, ".... Then you just let it go just like that?"

Tania scratched her head and said coquettishly, "But I can't think of a good way to take my revenge."

Egan suggested in an indifferent tone, "Curses, poisons."

Tania was taken aback, "Huh? No No! In case I was exposed, I will directly be put to death on a stake."

Egan still continued in utter indifference, "I can teach you the dream curse. If you concentrate harder, you can easily kill them in a dream."

Tania, "!!!"

Egan, "Or, I can always send cursed puppets over to kill them."

Tania couldn't help but gulp, 'Does this little domineering boss specializes in curse magic despite being a light mage?'

He is gentle and warm on weekdays, never speaking more than needed, but when she encounters something that causes her distress or if ever, she was wronged, his ideas suddenly seem to turn very violent and scary!?

Tania thought, 'Really talking about cursing someone to death or sending puppet assassins to take a person's life so decisively as if talking about the weather? Are the big bosses of the magic society so blunt and direct?'

Hence while listening to him, Tania nodded very obediently. What he taught her to do was what he taught, but it was completely another matter whether she followed through or not.

Although she wanted revenge, she still couldn't be a real murderer, and also didn't want to trouble Egan.

"Oh My! Who is this? You're still working?" At this moment, a woman's chuckle echoed not far away.

Tania turned her head and saw a group of people approaching her in a haughty demeanour. The leading woman in the middle had very cold eyebrows. While folding her arms around her chest, she looked at Tania in a condescending manner, "You dare to be lazy here? Is it because the elders are not punishing you enough?"

Tania had a bit of an inexplicable expression on her face, "I'm being lazy? Didn't you see? This is the basket of fallen leaves that I have already swept."

The woman lowered her eyes and glanced at the basket, and suddenly a cold smile appeared on her delicate face. She abruptly raised her foot, and right in front of Tania, kicked away the basket of fallen leaves fiercely. Countless fallen leaves rolled down the mountain stairs, and the long stairs that had been already been swept clean had once again became a mess.

Tania, '...I'll kill you!'

The woman clapped her hands and said in a mocking tone, "Where did you sweep the fallen leaves? Are you still not lazy?"

Tania gritted her teeth secretly and glared at her, "...Don't go too far!"

The woman smiled and said, "Why? I'm I being too much? What are you going to do? Hit me? Humph! Be careful, or I'll tell the elders that you are being lazy again. Then later, don't complain when you don't get to eat not only today but also tomorrow."

Tania clenched her broom tightly and stared at her with a cold demeanor. The leading woman just jeered her in a disdainful manner for she knew Tania couldn't do anything other than glare daggers at her. Seeing her this miserable, the several lackey female disciples around just openly ridiculed her and then left majestically. Tania stood there, staring silently at the messy fallen leaves.

She then took a long deep breath, as if trying to quell her burning anger and then suddenly threw away the broom in her hand in sheer frustration.

What the hell was wrong with these people! She was framed and punished and now all her hard work had been trampled under the soles of others! Why? Why did she have to bear it all?

"Egan!" She took out the communication key, gritted her teeth and growled, "You're right, I think I will have to master some really deadly curse to teach these people a lesson."

But the person in the call suddenly seemed to have changed his mind.

"Nia, do you want to see me?"

What! See him??

She was willing to maintain this kind of long-distance couple relationship because the young boss had enough patience to tolerate her on the weekdays. After all, the big bosses of this level are generally very busy and such people tend to care less about a relationship with a person they had never seen before. But when it comes to reality, it means that all aspects, both practical and emotional would be involved.

From her status to her social standing, her strength to her views, not to mention that she lied to him about being a dark witch from a wizard tower, various kinds of practical problems would emerge once they decide to take the next step in their relationship and meet each other.
