Passerby Villain In A Wizard World

Since Ian had already ordered him to engulf everything within his rules, Ignsysyl did so, as it didn't take much from him anyway.

"Ian, what happened? Why did you use your spell?"

By now, Aurora was already at Ian's side, asking him curiously with her emerald green eyes.

She didn't understand why he used this spell so suddenly, although it did feel good to look at such a magical scene from such a close range.

Ian's control over his spells seemed impeccable.@@novelbin@@

"Okay, I already used my Rule Of Fire alongside your spell. I don't know why you want to waste so much of my energy. She only has a trace of the Abyss, which is already getting erased,"

Ignysyl said and didn't forget to complain at last.

Ian ignored his complaint and looked around the firewall, which only changed a slight color after coming into contact with Ignsysyl's Rule. Other than that, he didn't feel any difference just from his vision.

So, he looked down and asked Lyra, who was also busy looking around curiously.

"How do you feel?"

"Hm? I feel... better?"

Hearing Ian's sudden question, Lyra didn't know why he asked and answered uncertainly.

'Hm... so she can't feel it, huh.'

Ian concluded and then looked at Aurora, who was awaiting his reply.

"Don't worry. I am just preparing something for your sake,"

Ian replied with a smile.

"For my sake?"

Aurora pointed at herself with a confused look.

Ian nodded and continued,

"Yeah... it is time for the trial to end, and if I don't do anything, you will likely get deported directly to Everbright City."

"Oh... you are talking about that."

Aurora understood immediately, as she was also about to ask about it since it was indeed the end time.

"But... what is with this spell? Is this needed to stop me from getting kicked out?"

She asked while looking at the fiery circular wall of fire that was swiftly shrinking towards the center.

"Yeah... it isn't that easy to cheat the Tower when you aren't a wizard apprentice. So, we have to use some loophole to our advantage."

Ian explained, then waved his hand, causing the shrinking ring of fire to contract swiftly, enclosing them within.

"Hm? Do you want to use my Rule Of Fire on her?"

Seeing the converging fire slightly targeting Aurora, Ignysyl quickly understood Ian's thoughts and expressed his doubt.

"What is so special about her? I don't feel anything off about her, though, like this girl."

However, despite his doubts, he didn't withdraw his Rule, even after sensing that the scent of the Abyss on Lyra had vanished.

"Just relax your mind and let me control you for a while. Once the tower's evaluation time is over, you can be free again."

Ian seemed not to have heard Ignysyl and instead explained to Aurora while grasping her shoulder and sending slight traces of his own mana into her body.

"Be fast, the time is almost over."

Seeing Aurora getting stunned and then conflicted by his sudden words, Ian warned while pointing at the Meditation Hall, which was already beginning to fade.

Just as he said, there was indeed a way for a non-wizard apprentice to stay in the tower and leave for the Calvora Continent.

However, to do so, it wasn't as easy as hiding or deceiving the tower, but one had to be under the absolute control of someone who was qualified.

It was basically like you could leave if you were the subordinate of a qualified person deemed by the tower.

It was also likely that the Tower saw those who got controlled as a tool rather than as individuals.

So, Ian's way of allowing Aurora to leave with him was to use the mind control spell on her to control her completely.

Of course, making a contract or a pact-like Subjugation Sigil also worked, but Ian didn't want to rely on such and didn't have one either.

"Um... is there no other way?"

Seeing the meditation hall's disappearing visage, Aurora got anxious but still asked Ian, as nobody wanted to give control of their body to another person, even if just for a moment.

Not to mention Ian was a man, and she didn't know if he would do something while she was unaware.

Although she didn't think he would, who could be sure?

"Yeah, there is no other way. The tower cannot be fooled that easily. Even I am not sure if my mind control skill will be useful."

Ian shook his head, bashing her wish, and was about to persuade her when Lyra chimed in.

"Hey, are you afraid that Ian will touch you or do something inappropriate while you are unconscious?"

Aurora was distressed after hearing Ian's negative reply when Lyra called out to her, causing her to hurriedly shake her head.

"No, no. I wasn't thinking about that. It's just that I... I was wondering if there is any other simple method..."

Aurora fidgeted nervously as if she didn't know how to explain.

She didn't want them to misunderstand her. After all, they were trying to help her without anything in return.

"Okay... you don't need to defend yourself."

Lyra rolled her eyes and stopped her in time.

"Look... I understand your thoughts. But you don't need to worry about such things."

"Although he is indeed a little shameless and perverted, don't you see me here? Will I allow this rascal to take advantage of another girl in front of me without your knowledge?" Continue reading at My Virtual Library Empire

She persuaded Aurora honestly while grabbing Ian's arm strongly in hers, as if signaling that he was under her control, causing Ian to roll his eyes.

'Aren't you allowing me to do everything a few days ago? You were even helping me. Why am I the perverted one now?' He complained inwardly.

"Besides, only he can allow you to leave this continent. If you really want to leave, there is no other way than to follow what he says. Sigh... if I could, I would have helped you already."

Lyra showed reluctance on her face, completely ignoring the fact that the Mind Control skill Ian had was something he got from her.

"True!"

Poor Aurora immediately believed what Lyra said, perhaps because she was a girl like her.

After seemingly thinking it through and looking at the disappearing hall in front of her, Aurora appeared to have made a decision. So, she looked at Ian and said,

"Um... okay then. Thank you for helping me. You can control me as you like... Just... be gentle."

Aurora finally relented and completely relaxed her figure, appearing as if she was ready for Ian's misdemeanor. She even closed her eyes in front of Ian as if placing her belief in him.

Since time was running out, if she delayed like this and got deported, she would have no place to cry. So, she immediately decided to do what Ian said.

'What the heck do you mean "be gentle"?'

Ian was once again speechless at her misguiding words as if he was about to do something nefarious.

For God's sake, he was just trying to help out of goodwill, and here he was blatantly blamed for something he wouldn't do.

Was there no one who would believe in his character?

'Who do you think I'm?'

'She was just saying earlier that it wasn't for this reason. And now, why is she all relaxed after getting Lyra's assurance?'

Seeing Aurora already closing her eyes and completely off guard, Ian shook his head.

In the end, she was indeed worried about his behavior.

'Let's just get this over with.'

Ian shook his thoughts away for now and carefully extended his mental power while using the Mind Control method he got from Lyra.

"Mmm..."
