A Destained Young Master Villain

Ian arrived in front of the dean\'s office and fixed himself up before knocking on the door.

\'Knock\' \'Knock\' \'Knock\'

"Come In!" A female voice sounded from the inside.

Ian entered the room and saw a stunningly beautiful woman who had a domineering personality exuding from her sitting in a chair in front of a desk that was filled with paperwork.

As Ian entered the room, Hermione sensed his aura and immediately figured out who had entered. She cast a sideways glance at him, "To what do I owe the pleasure to Mister Raverdieu Branch Head Ian?"

"Greetings, Dean Hermione."

"Speak. What did you come here for? I am extremely busy, as you can see." Hermione said as she gestured towards the pile of paper on her desk. "Get to the point. I don\'t have the time to dilly-dally talking with you."

"If that\'s the case then, I am here regarding the recruitmen-" Before Ian could finish his words, Hermione cut him off.

"Rejected! Do you think I am stupid? Say, that young master of yours instructed you to join the Pontiac Academy as a professor, didn\'t he? Otherwise, why would a Raverdieu branch head want to become a professor?"

"Don\'t give me that \'I want to try a professor\'s life\' excuse."

"I am not sure of what that Zenryx is planning, but I sure do know that he has no good intentions." Hermione stated while sneering.

\'This Dean is quite intelligent. How did she figure it out?\' Ian thought. "It is actually as you said, Dean."

"Hmph, your young master is troublesome. If that\'s all, then you can leave now."

"No, Dean, my young master has nothing to do with this. What I meant was that, just as you said, I do want to experience the life of a professor. Staying in Raverdieu\'s territory bore me."

Hearing his words, Hermione revealed a tight-lipped smile, slamming the desk with her hand. "You! Shameless!" Her mana surged, increasing the pressure in the room as she stood up from her chair.

The pressure Hermione released pressed down on Ian.

Sensing this, Ian hurriedly said in a dignified manner, "Calm down, Dean. I just want to be a professor; it has always been my dream to become one, but I never got the chance in the past."

Hermione, who was infuriated, suddenly calmed down because she thought of something. "All right, since you\'re so passionate about it. I\'ll agree, but the academy is completely covered with my mana, so anything suspicious you do will instantly be noticed by me." She said as a grin appeared on her face.

"All right, I appreciate it, Dean. I am extremely grateful for you helping me achieve my dream that I have been trying to become ever since I was a little child."

"Tsk." Hermione waved her hand, and Ian\'s figure appeared outside of the room.

After Ian realized that he had appeared outside without even a warning, he fell into silence for a moment, contemplating what had just happened.

"So this is the power of the Pontiac Academy\'s dean. Very impressive." He muttered as he walked away from the dean\'s office, intending to find Zen to inform him about the good news.

He was also aware that Hermione was one hundred percent sure that it was indeed his young master who instructed him to become a professor in the academy. So he was not worried that Hermione would find out that he went to find Zen right after he met with her.

As he was about to walk away, Hermiones transmitted a voice in his mind saying, "Oh right, go find Hawkin; he\'ll be the one helping you get settled in the academy. He is currently in the academy\'s arena."

"He will explain everything to you about how everything works in the academy. I\'ve also informed him about you; he should be expecting you there once the mock battles of the first year students finish."

With that, Ian decided to go meet with Hawkin first and just inform Zen later, as he speculated that his young master probably already knows that he will be able to become a professor as he was the one who instructed him to come here.

There was also confidence in Zen\'s tone when Ian talked to him about it, and it seemed like he was sure that he would succeed.

Speaking of Hermione, she knew that Ian was spouting bullsh*t, and for what reason did she agree? The academy was indeed lacking in professors because of the number of students who came this time.

With Ian, there would be an extra helping hand. She could just supervise both him and Zen together, so she was not worried about them causing trouble in the academy.

Such a thing was an easy task for her to do as a Great Magister. Even though the Pontiac Academy was such a massive place, she could sense the entire area if she wanted to.

Back inside the dean\'s office

"Zenryx Raverdieu, you think you can outsmart me? You are delusional. You really are underestimating me."

"You think just because you are from the Raverdieu family you could do whatever you want inside the academy? You are gravely mistaken!"

Hermione talked to herself for a bit before she went back to working on the paperwork.

Ian arrived at the arena and saw twenty professors engaged in a battle with a bunch of students. Seeing this, he went onto the spectator stands, intending to wait for Hawkin.

As he sat down, suddenly someone called out to him, "IAN!" 

Hearing this, he looked in the direction where the voice came from and saw four girls approaching him.

"Young lady Fiona! What are you doing here?"

"We are just here to watch the mock battles, but that\'s also what I wanted to ask you. What are you doing here?"

In fact, Fiona\'s villa was located near the Raverdieu family branch he managed, and Ian was also assigned as Fiona\'s instructor back then. He was the one who taught Fiona the basics of magic.

"Well... I\'ll be becoming a professor from now on here in this academy."

"What?!" Fiona was stunned and couldn\'t believe what she just heard. "Really?!"

"Yes, young lady." Ian responded. "I am just waiting for someone called Hawkin; that is why I am here in the arena, and may I ask which one of those is Hawkin?"

Fiona then pointed at Hawkin, with Ian following her fingers where she pointed. "Ah, ok, thank you, young lady."

"Well, be going now, Ian; we got quite bored watching the mock battles. So we\'ll be leaving." Fiona stated.

The four girls then exited the arena after bidding farewell to him.
