It was only mentioned that when she was eighteen, she broke Victor's record for the fastest time to become a third-tier mage, two years earlier than Victor.
After that, she joined the Imperial Family and gradually faded from the players' view.
Therefore, Erica is undoubtedly extremely successful now.
She is not only one of the few sixth-tier mages in the world, but she has also become one of the eight most powerful masters in the world.
Such achievements are enough for ordinary people to roam the world freely.
However, even today, Erica remains a very 'obedient' student in front of Victor.
She always remembers that her current strength and achievements are all due to Professor Victor's careful guidance.
Therefore, I listened to Viktor not out of fear, but out of deep respect.
So much so that whenever she heard Viktor's words, she would involuntarily have a strong reaction.
Erica was called by name by the respected professor, and she pondered whether or not she should release Victor's body now.
But at the same time, she felt very regretful.
She had planned it all out beforehand; she intended to tell the professor directly that she was unhappy when she saw him.
Seeing how powerful Aurelion was, she was very unhappy.
She was unhappy because Professor Victor didn't value her.
They were supposed to be on the same side, but she couldn't learn the full plan from the professor.
Even those congressmen understood the details of the plan, and she was very unhappy.
All her emotions surged like a tidal wave, turning into cold ice crystals that blocked her breath as she tried to express herself.
But just because the professor called her name, Erica didn't dare to utter a single word.
She was a little scared, afraid that the professor would scold her for her impulsiveness and accuse her of being stingy.
However, the criticism Erica envisioned has not yet arrived.
Instead, Victor's voice, tinged with concern and gentleness, slowly reached her ears:
"If you're tired, just tell me."
"You can rest by my side for as long as you want."
"..."
Hearing Viktor's gentle voice, Erica couldn't help but press her cheek against Viktor's broad back.
Feeling the warmth emanating from him, her expression was complex.
Is that all?
"But this is not a reward."
Upon hearing this, Erica's eyes widened slightly.
Immediately afterwards, Viktor's calm voice rang out again:
"I must say... you did an excellent job, even exceeding my expectations."
"You have completed my task perfectly."
Victor had complete trust in Erica.
She is different from Aurelion and now from the goddess of justice, 'Gwen'.
They each had their own goals, and Victor knew he couldn't place all his trust in either of them.
For example, tell Aurelion and Gwen.
"Please defeat me."
In that case, would these two really lower their guard and fight him?
No,
Because of her special relationship with her 'teacher,' Aurelion could never unleash her full power when facing Viktor.
Even if she were willing, Viktor would almost certainly win in a fight because he knows her very well.
Aurelion couldn't have suddenly become stronger just because Viktor said, "Defeat me and you'll gain my approval."
Similarly, Gwen herself possesses a strong sense of justice.
Given her current state of being possessed by the Goddess of Justice, it's even less likely that she would attack Victor without reason.
This also reflects Gwen's unwavering belief in justice.
Only Erica,
After his brush with death in hell, Victor may not have experienced much emotional turmoil.
But he had subconsciously come to regard Erica as one of the people he trusted most.
Daring to venture into the underworld alone, daring to challenge Hades to a duel.
Daring to challenge numerous gods, they continuously attempt trials in hell.
Despite the threat of death, they did everything in their power to rescue him.
Only Erica has accomplished these things.
Moreover, after that hellish ordeal, Erica began to trust Victor unconditionally.
If Victor points east, Erica will never go west.
However, Victor overlooked one thing about Erica.
That is, Erica is, after all, a person with flesh and blood, feelings and emotions.
She will feel tired and exhausted.
But he was too eager for quick results, even summoning disasters that constantly challenged Erica.
This clearly doesn't take Erica's true feelings into account.
So, when Erica came to him of her own accord, Victor finally understood.
Perhaps he was indeed being too demanding of Erica.
"So, what reward do you want?"
"I will do my best to satisfy you."
Erica froze on the spot after hearing this.
Her cheeks, which had been buried in Victor's broad back, suddenly turned bright red, her vision blurred, and she looked extremely flustered.
This, this...
She was just venting casually...
Professor Victor taught Erica so much knowledge and skills, how could she possibly ask for a reward?
But...occasionally...
Erica thought to herself,
Even occasionally, she would think about being praised by the professor...
No, no, that's not right.
Erica shook her head sharply, clearing her mind of distractions, and her eyes hardened.
Rewards aren't something you can get anytime, anywhere.
Coming to her senses, Erica thought for a moment, then blurted out instinctively:
"Professor, stay with me..."
