Re: The Villainess Does It With Class

The crystal is not easy to make because it requires precision and effort. This is why only those who are worthy are given one. A single crystal holds hundreds of souls, reaped and harvested from humans and spirits, which are the fuel to use magic. Wasting it is out of the question… More so, if there are two crystals involved.

Farren doesn't need one because he's originally a demon and magic for him is natural. But because of the current restrictions, his potential is sealed. He can use magic but only to the minimum and that is the reason why he uses a magic crystal. 

Farren saw the annoyance in his master's face and gasped, "M-master! I apologize! Please punish me!" 

He then proceeded to grovel on the ground but his face was showing the opposite. He actually felt happy upon the thought of being punished.

Because he is an absolute fvcking M.

Of course, his master knew of that, and so he smirked. It would be a cold day in hell that he would satisfy this man's twisted ways. 

He glanced at the two people again, only to find that Janus had already left. Haagenti furrowed his brows in disappointment before deciding that they too should leave as well. There is no telling that the remaining man would suddenly learn of their location and hunt them down, better be cautious than sorry.

Just looking at the black-haired guy brings up familiar feelings to him like he had known him for a long time. Also, his aura felt like he could do just that, and it was making Hageenti have mixed emotions.

They teleported out of the main palace grounds and back to the place they are currently staying at. The cloaked figures knelt upon their arrival and blended back in the darkness again.

The two of them walked in the direction of a big room, reserved for Haagenti, and went inside. Haagenti sat down on the big sofa with his legs crossed and stared at Farren who kneeled in front of him. The blood dripped down the expensive carpet but Haagenti didn't care. It wasn't his anyway.

"Tell me this news that you've been saying," he ordered before his eyes narrowed, "Make sure that it's worth my time."

Farren shivered from the threat. He was disappointed that his master did not punish him but he did not take it to heart. He looked up at his master and grinned from ear to ear, eyes sparkling like rubies.

"I found two seeds! Both are powerful!" He informed him, confident that Haagenti would be interested in it.

Haagenti's left brow raised ever so slightly, curious by Farren's piece of information.

A seed is what they call a mana core. The Conquisitors have been around the world, searching for seeds that would supply their experiments. These seeds would then be harvested and will be used as fuel for their tests. The stronger the mana core is, the higher chance they will succeed.

They have been trying and trying for years now, wanting to break the spell that binds the ways of this world. Haagenti's main goal is to unbound it and free the shackles that prevent people from using their natural born magic.

It was unfair. Magic exists in their world so people have the right to use it however they please. It was given to them, it was theirs, to begin with, so sealing it away is very selfish. It's like taking away a part of one's character.

Sure, there have been wars and chaos but it could be fixed in some other way. Solomon doesn't have to deny them of what they own.

Magic is for us. 

What is more unfair is some can use magic and the majority can't. If he truly wants the world to be peaceful, why would he give privileges? If he is going to take their magic affinity away, why not all of them? Why not everyone? Why would he make an exception? That's really unfair, isn't it?

Why can the royal families use magic and not the citizens as well? Why only a few selected lineages? Isn't he just creating more diversity?

Magic is for all. That's what the Conquisitors est Magicae believes in.

That's why he spent a lot of time, poured a lot of effort just to achieve their lifelong dream. They want to give back what is taken from everyone, and they'll do anything to make it happen.

And with these seeds… These seeds that have been planted to a selected few, they will make use of it. If the rest can't use magic then they shouldn't have to either. 

And the seed that would surely make their will come true, came from the rare bloodline of the Goddess Feronia. The mana cores from the women of that family contain the purest of all energies. They already have gotten one but it fell short, they need one more of them.

The seeds that they have collected from the past can't even come close to a quarter with the Feronian core. 

And now, Farren is saying that he had found two powerful seeds. Haagenti guessed that one of them would be from that black-haired man from earlier because he sensed it himself too.

"How powerful are they?" He pressed on.

"Extremely! The one is from my opponent that I cannot win against. His was feisty! And his anima has a will on its own, master," he divulged more, growing happier as he went on.

Haagenti stopped thinking for a moment.

'A will on its own?'

Wouldn't that mean that this man is at the pinnacle of magic users? His mana count is probably close to a vast lake. The Feronian core that they got has a mana count that is likely to be a gulf. If it's true that he possesses a high-level anima, then it really is possible to harvest a large amount of mana from him.

But then again, it's too ferocious. The source of magic also came from the dark elements such as his. It's comparable to a demon's which is not what they are looking for.

If only it resembles the light attributes from the Windsors then it's perfect.

"The other one, I haven't seen her use it but I could feel it, master," Farren suddenly got more excited. One could see him actually trembling from it.

Farren is not only good in combat, but he's also good with his eyes. He has appraisal skills on them which were very useful for Haagenti. One look at a person, or a thing, or a being, he could already see through them. With people, it is only limited to how much a person's potential is. In short, he could see the magic affinity they have within their core.

"She has an ocean within her!"
