Two sharp, cold beams of light shot from those eerie green snake eyes, seemingly carrying an invisible chill and danger.

Erica felt Saphiros's blindingly sharp gaze and seemed frozen in place.

She couldn't help but swallow hard, feeling her heart pounding and a rush of blood to her brain.

It was a kind of... indescribable sense of oppression.

She was already a third-tier mage.

Even some veteran mages might not be at her current level.

But under the gaze of this strange woman, she didn't know how to react.

It's like being targeted by a venomous snake hidden in a dense forest.

I dare not move my body.

The slightest movement she made would result in the venomous snake stabbing her in a fatal spot.

There was absolutely no possibility of resistance.

state!

A sudden muffled thud interrupted Erica's thoughts.

She snapped back to her senses, a slight breeze blowing by, making Erica feel a little cold.

She took a quick breath, feeling her body damp and cold, soaked in cold sweat.

What just happened?

Erica quickly looked in the direction of Victor and Saphiros.

Suddenly, Saphiros clutched her head and crouched down in pain.

Viktor was standing behind her, with a hand hovering above her head, clenched into a fist.

The oppressive feeling that had been clinging to my body had vanished, and even the biting cold had gradually faded away.

Erica finally recovered, her face turning somewhat flushed from the rush of blood back to her skin.

It looks like Professor Victor just punched her.

At this moment, Victor withdrew his hand, looked at Saphiros who had crouched down in pain, and said calmly:

"Apologize."

As that cold voice rang out, the surrounding atmosphere grew even colder.

Sensing that the atmosphere was starting to get awkward, Erica, having recovered, quickly spoke up:

"No, no, no, that's not necessary."

But Victor seemed not to hear Erica's words, still coldly staring at the crouching Saphiros:

"Apologize."

Saphiros recovered and stood up again.

Although she had just been punched, her expression remained completely emotionless, as if nothing had happened.

And those eerie green snake eyes returned to calm.

He controlled his aura with ease, yet one could still sense a faint hint of danger.

She listened to Victor's words, bowed to Erica, and apologized.

"I'm very sorry, but it was a necessary protective measure."

"If I had to do it all over again, I would still do it."

"Well……"

Erica paused for a moment, glancing briefly at Saphiros in front of her.

The woman in front of her gave her a very strange feeling.

Although she looks like a human, she feels as if she is a wild beast imitating a human.

However, given the current situation, Erica suppressed her doubts and did not ask the question.

But just as she was wondering, Victor gave Saphiros a cold look and said coldly:

"Remember, I will never need your protection."

"You don't need to do this again."

Hearing Viktor's words, Erica felt even more...uncomfortable.

Professor Victor, though equally aloof, would never have displayed such feelings.

It's like... giving orders to a tool, a machine.

What's even more frightening is that Saphiros didn't say anything more after hearing those words.

She simply lowered her head and processed Viktor's information.

Then he responded very calmly:

"yes."

Saphiros's attitude made Erica's eyes widen.

She couldn't help but start thinking.

What exactly is the relationship between these two?!

Wait a minute, isn't this behavior just...

Discipline...?

Erica's cheeks flushed instantly when the word popped uncontrollably into her head.

His hands trembled, his face burned, and he could hardly suppress his absurd thoughts.

Is Professor Victor really that bold?

They dare to adjust it in broad daylight... wait a minute!

Erica couldn't believe that Professor Victor could do something like this.

In six months, Erica will be an adult.

Although she hadn't experienced such things herself, she had at least heard about them.

However, the thought that Professor Victor was doing this filled her with both curiosity and a barely suppressed anger.

How could Professor Victor do this! He has a fiancée!

No, she had to get to the bottom of it!

Thinking of this, Erica stammered and opened her mouth to say to Victor:

“Professor Viktor…you…”

"It seems you have something to say to me."

Before Erica could finish speaking, Victor interrupted her before she could ask any further questions.

He looked at Erica, who was stuttering slightly, and his tone seemed to carry a hint of doubt.

Perhaps because Viktor suddenly interrupted her, Erica paused slightly.

Suddenly realizing that asking so directly was inappropriate, she quickly changed her approach:

"Ah, yes! I have something I'd like to tell you."

Viktor nodded, turned to look at the towering mage tower, and calmly replied:

"Then let's go inside and talk."
