The blond boy nodded slightly in understanding and glanced at his companion not far away. "Sven's perception is too keen. It's natural for him to be nervous when facing Magic User."
Hearing this, Gray subconsciously followed his line of sight.
In the corner of the classroom, the blond boy named Sven sat nervously in the corner, staring warily at Touko in the front row, as if facing some terrifying beast.
"That guy has a very keen sense of smell."
The blond boy scratched his cheek and said, "Probably... I smelled some kind of terrifying smell on that Miss Touko, like he was facing an invincible predator."
"Lady Touko... The smell is not scary."
Gray pulled the cloak and retorted in a low voice, "The smell of Lady Touko is very reassuring and feels like a mother."
"It doesn't mean whether it smells good or not~"
The blond boy explained, "Just like a person smells the scent of a lion and analyzes the smell and knows that the lion is around, everyone must feel scared."
"... That's it."
Gray nodded in confusion. Frankly speaking, she didn't understand it very well, but she did understand a little. This didn't mean that the smell of Lady Touko was unpleasant, but it probably meant that the information contained in the smell was scary.
"Maybe it's intuition."
Flatt added.
Chapter 300 Lainis
Group 4⑧87④97⑨9
————I have a headache.
Walking into the classroom, Waver immediately felt a headache. There were two more people in the front row of his classroom who did not belong here, Department of Creation's Lord Inorai, and his teacher Aozaki Touko.
They are all existences that he is not good at dealing with... but has to face well.
"...Teacher Touko, Ms. Inorai, are you here for something?"
Putting the textbook on the podium, Waver frowned tightly and asked in a calm tone. He was a little worried... Whether Teacher Touko or Lord Enola wanted to do something, it would give him a huge headache.
After all, the identity of the old and the young is too troublesome.
"Don't worry Waver... I just want to come to your class."
Aozaki Touko showed a gentle smile, supported his chin with his delicate hand and said, "Besides... girls of this age should study hard. Since El-Melloi II's teaching style is so good, wouldn't it be a pity not to come and listen to it?"
"..."
Hearing this, Waver twitched the corner of his mouth fiercely, suppressing the urge to complain, and smiled and said, "Since Teacher Touko wants to see the student's current progress in the magic path, then naturally I will be very honored."
Naturally, it was impossible for him to admit that he wanted to teach Teacher Touko, but he would not directly refute Teacher Touko's words. Instead, he polished his words a little and characterized Teacher Touko's trip to El-Melloi Classroom as an inspection of the Magecraft level of past students.
In this way... you will not appear arrogant, but you will also be able to show your respect.
"My purpose this time is similar to Touko. I want to see El-Melloi II's teaching level."
Inorai laughed heartily and looked very kind and gentle. Although she had a tendency to want the El-Melloi family to turn to Democratic Faction, since Aozaki Touko was present, she would not embarrass Waver.
"... If that's the case, then I'll go to class."
Waver sighed feebly, picked up the chalk and began to teach seriously.
He is not worried now that Inorai will cause trouble for him, for example, if he asks if he wants to guide Democratic Faction, after all, Teacher Touko is still in the classroom, so he should give Magic User some respect.
Although I'm a little embarrassed...Teacher Touko has never said anything about protecting himself.
However, in the eyes of other forces, he is actually a member of the forces under Teacher Touko.
To put it more ugly, it is a chess piece used to indirectly control the El-Melloi family.

at the same time.
In a coffee shop near Clock Tower.
"... Temporary lecturer qualifications?"
Lainis sat on the sofa and took a sip of coffee elegantly. "Since it is Lady Touko's will, there is no problem with this matter. The teacher's certificate will be sent to you later..."
She pointed towards the coffee cup, somewhat studying the blond woman across from her.
She was a cold-faced woman with long blond hair, wearing a decent maid outfit. From an ordinary person's perspective, she was undoubtedly a very good beauty, and there would be no problem even if she became a cover model.
But... this woman actually resembled her in a subtle way. She had a very strange sense of déjà vu in her heart, which seemed to be able to trigger certain memories in her. However, because some of the information did not match, she could not remember it.
"... Miss Lainis, are you interested in me?"
Miss Kenshin asked calmly with a cold face. However, she felt a little uneasy inside. Her stepsister's eyes were too sharp, as if she wanted to penetrate her and see the hidden truth.
"Interest... it's natural."
Lainis nodded slightly and said with a smile, "Lady Touko, suddenly asked for an unidentified person to serve as a lecturer in the Modern Science Department. I feel there must be a lot of interesting things in it."
"..."
Kenshin glanced at Lainis and said, "I will not stay in Modern Science and Technology for a long time. I will leave after a while. This action does not have any political intention."
"About this... I'm actually not very worried."
Lainis took a sip of coffee and said, "In fact, if Lady Touko wants to add more manpower to the El-Melloi Family to improve control, in a sense it can also reduce my pressure a lot."
Somewhat helplessly, she showed a slightly troubled expression.
"As long as it can be revealed to the outside world that Third Magus is clearly standing behind the El-Melloi Family, those guys can calm down a lot. Unfortunately, Lady Touko's attitude has never been clear."
If Aozaki Touko clearly stands behind the El-Melloi family and regards it as the spokesperson of Clock Tower, then she can rest assured to use Magic User's influence to act, and she will have enough capital to negotiate with Aristocratic Faction or Democratic Faction.
Even if they waver... there's nothing wrong with not getting involved with either side.
It's a pity... It seems that Aozaki Touko has no further intention. Therefore, every time I encounter some troublesome problems and want to use the power of Aozaki Touko,
You have to... act very cutely to get Aozaki Touko to let go and help.
"..."
Miss Ken picked up the coffee cup, took a calm sip and said, "So that's it, I will reflect this to Touko. I believe that in the near future, there will be many Magecraft teachers to help El-Melloi share the pressure."
"That's not necessary."
Lainis smiled slightly, "Although those guys are still in some trouble, the situation has stabilized now. All that's left is to repair Magic Crest and pay off the debt."
It's not a lie. Although it was a headache for a while when I took over El-Melloi in the early days, as she grew up, she became more comfortable, especially when the students taught by Waver began to grow up, and their influence cannot be underestimated during this period.
In this case... allowing Aozaki Touko to control El-Melloi Family more deeply will undoubtedly dilute her rights and give her a part of the cake that does not need to be divided.
"That's really a pity~"
Miss Ken smiled as expected. In some sense, the thoughts of political creatures like Clock Tower are very pure and simple. It is absolutely impossible for them to give up the benefits they have obtained.
Even her adopted sister Lainis... is not immune to this.
"Speaking of which... this lady, have we met somewhere?"
Suddenly, Lainis showed a somewhat inquiring expression, "Although this seems to be a conversation, I do feel familiar, as if we have met somewhere."
"No, we have never seen it."
Decisively, Kenshin gave a negative answer.
Chapter 301 Do you want to be the most beautiful woman?
"No, we have never seen it."
Decisively, Kenshin gave a negative answer, and then asked, "Speaking of which, Miss Lainis, as the head of El-Melloi, you actually came to see me, the temporary lecturer, in person. I am really surprised."
"Didn't I tell you that this would be interesting?"
Lainis showed a sly smile like a fox, "Furthermore, since Lady Touko specifically recommended this person, it would be worthwhile to come and see him. You know... Lady Touko's identity is Magic User."
In fact, if it was a lecturer who usually came to teach temporarily, she would probably take a look to confirm the information, and it was not necessary to make a special trip to see him.
However, who happened to have free time... and was a little curious about it.
"..."
Kenshin fell into silence, picked up the coffee and took a sip. For the first time, she realized that... her adopted sister was a bit difficult to deal with, and her insight was too sharp. Why didn't she find out before that Lainis would be such a troublesome woman when she grew up?
However, to put it another way... this kind of Lainis is suitable to lead El-Melloi Family.
"..."
On the side, Lainis held his chin with his slender hand, staring at Kayneth like a curious cat, trying to grasp the vague thread in his mind and sort out the messy and hazy thoughts.
She just felt that... she should know this woman.
However, what is distressing is that there seems to be a very crucial piece of information missing, making it impossible for her to connect things together and falling into a deadlock.
However, even if... the truth is unknown, it is definitely an interesting thing.
"...Miss Ken, you are not Lady Touko's maid, are you?"
Lainis closed one eye and said in a girlish tone, "You did not add an honorific to Lady Touko. Instead, you called her by her first name Touko. This is not like the relationship between a master and a maid."
"The relationship... has nothing to do with Miss Lainis."
Kenshin had a cold face and a distant voice.
"Curious, this is curiosity."
Lainis tilted his head slightly and suppressed the raised corners of his mouth. "Miss Ken If you are unwilling to answer, you can choose to refuse. This is your legitimate right, isn't it?"
To be honest, she is a woman with a very bad personality. She feels happy when she sees others in pain. Especially when Miss Ken opposite her keeps a cold face but suppresses her worries, it makes her feel even more happy.
This feeling was even happier than when she tore off the frog's legs alive. This feeling of pleasure made her want to bully Miss Ken even more.
It's a pity... the other party seems to have a close relationship with Lady Touko... but it's okay to bully him a little, right?
"... Regarding the issue of identity, I have no intention of leaking it."
Miss Ken had a cold face and said calmly, "If you can, please ask Miss Lainis, don't delve too deeply into this information, and keep a safe distance from each other."
"Of course... this is a lady's etiquette."
Lainis smiled elegantly, as if he really agreed.
"I hope Miss Lainis can do what you said."
Kenshin seemed to be satisfied and nodded slightly, although she did not think that her adopted sister would be obedient.
However, now that he has agreed, he should not make any more direct test moves.

Clock Tower, corridor.
"... Speaking of which, Touko, with your technical level, it is more possible to achieve the beauty of Root, right?"
Inorai suddenly turned to look at Fa and asked, "As long as you can get Izuluma's information, you will soon be able to copy and surpass it. If you use the technology on yourself, maybe you will be the most beautiful woman in the world."
That's right, unlike Izuluma Family's crude body modification, if you use Aozaki Touko's almost... no, I should say, it's the puppet technology in the realm of gods, you can definitely have a perfect appearance like the goddess Venus.
This is not bragging, nor is it a cognitive error. This is a statement with sufficient evidence.
If we only talk about the technology of body adjustment and transformation, no one in this world should be able to surpass Aozaki Touko.
In other words, as long as Aozaki Touko is willing... she might not be able to become the most beautiful woman of this era.
"... the most beautiful woman?"
Aozaki Touko shook his head slightly and chuckled, "I'm not very interested in this, but if you hold the most beautiful woman in your arms, I'm quite interested."
In fact, she has no more requirements for her appearance. She is already an outstanding beauty. Even if she becomes more beautiful, it will not bring any more improvement to her life.
With her current strength... there is basically nothing she can't get if she wants to.
"Beauty is a temptation that no woman can resist."
Inorai laughed out loud with some joy, "Touko, even if you don't pursue much about your appearance, this can bring unparalleled happiness to your wives."
