The moment Aurelion appeared beneath the Tree of Life, Erica, who was hiding and peeking nearby, felt her mind go completely blank.
Damn, how did she get here too?
Erica felt her face stiffen, her forehead burn, and cold sweat seep out.
This is terrible! It's gotten the professor into two big troubles at once...
Erica felt increasingly embarrassed as she thought about it, and a strong sense of regret welled up inside her.
She was very careful when she left, using only a small amount of magic around her and deliberately transforming herself into an inconspicuous wind element.
It shouldn't have been noticed by anyone...
Most importantly, it's one thing for Miss Gwen to follow, but why is the Queen following as well?
As the highly regarded Empress of the Karencia Empire, her participation in the Arena of the Gods, in particular, has attracted tremendous attention within the empire.
Now, Aurelion has suddenly left in full view of everyone, regardless of the situation in the arena.
The empire, thousands of miles away, must have already fallen into chaos.
How could the people not be worried when their queen suddenly left without giving any reason?
Aurelion's arrival might even expose her and Miss Gwen's disappearance.
Three of the eight masters are gone now, how are we supposed to play?
Of course, these are not the main points.
Erica felt somewhat troubled.
Professor Victor and Miss Gwen had just reconciled, so why did you, a student, go and cause trouble?
"What to do, what to do?"
“If Professor Victor knew that I brought Miss Gwen and Aurelian here, he would definitely punish me.”
"I really don't want to do extra training."
Erica frowned, her face anxious, and she clutched her head of blonde hair, her emotions aggrieved.
Vega, perched on her shoulder, glanced at her, watching her frantic state.
Vega had figured it out long ago.
Erica's ideas and Aurelion's ideas were always different.
Although both were Viktor's students and met around the same time.
But Erica's liking for Victor was mostly admiration.
She admired Viktor's formidable strength and his composure and strategic brilliance in the face of challenges.
Aurelion, on the other hand, was determined to lock Viktor in the basement and possess him completely.
Simply put, Erica only thinks.
If Aurelion seizes the opportunity, she could really take down Viktor.
At that moment, Erica seemed to suddenly understand something, and she abruptly raised her head, stopping her hair-pulling motion.
"Right, all I need to do is help the professor get rid of Aurelion, right?!"
In that case, Professor Victor will certainly not blame her.
Erica clapped her hands, stood up again, and tidied her somewhat messy hair.
Having come up with a solution, she prepared to take immediate action.
Hearing this, Vega, who was standing on her shoulder, couldn't help but roll his eyes.
Well, it was just Gwen a moment ago, then Aurelion joined, and now Erica has joined too.
You're trying to help? Aren't you just making things worse?
But it never spoke, only casting its gaze into the distance, observing Viktor with a mocking expression.
Viktor, what should you do with these two students?
...
As Aurelion arrived, Victor stood still, falling into a slight silence.
In short, he guessed that the other party probably noticed Erica and Gwen's departure and followed them.
Although he had already considered this, Aurelion's appearance still surprised him somewhat.
Has this girl become this reckless?
Viktor really didn't expect that.
Of all the students he taught, Aurelion was actually the one who cared the most about his reputation.
No matter how much effort or hardship one has put in behind the scenes.
This strong-willed empress would not reveal these experiences to the outside world.
She always only shows her most glamorous and unattainable side.
She is the empress, the leader of the entire empire.
She needs to present her best self to the people in order to enhance their trust and sense of unity.
However, now, in front of millions or even tens of millions of viewers.
She suddenly left the arena and disappeared from everyone's sight.
This alone was enough to surprise Viktor.
Has she forgotten where she is now?
In fact, Aurelion certainly hadn't forgotten.
The Arena of Gods, which attracts worldwide attention, is certainly important, but once comparisons are made...
"I came here to find you."
“Professor Victor.”
Aurelion's eyes were calm as water, and the brilliant nebula in her eyes gradually subsided.
Her gaze was firm, and she pronounced each word clearly.
Aurelion did not ask why Viktor was there.
As mentioned at the beginning, Aurelion was always after Viktor.
Previously, the battle between Professor Victor and the Goddess of Justice had turned the city of Shulbon into scorched earth.
This matter is common knowledge.
Immediately afterwards, the gods descended upon Shulbon.
If we look at these two things together...
Aurelion would never believe that the divine intervention had nothing to do with Viktor.
Therefore, she always believed that Victor had likely been hiding within the Kingdom of Kant after leaving the Empire.
Especially his crow was always by Erica's side.
