Marvel: All My Incarnations Are S-Class Villainesses

Chapter 57: Chapter 57 Despite being a noble lady who often complained about classes

Despite being a noble lady who often complained about classes, what she hated were those dull and tedious noble etiquette lessons.

On the contrary, these obscure and difficult magic theories were very interesting in her eyes, not to mention the reading buff provided by her Spellthief skin.

”So mental energy can be constructed like this...”

”The gaps between dimensions are actually fluid...”

The more she read, the more excited she became. Lux didn’t even budge from her seat, forgetting to eat dinner and reading straight from noon until late at night.

This scene had long been observed by a pair of eyes in the shadows.

It was Wong.

Don’t misunderstand; although this future Sorcerer Supreme looked fierce with a face full of flesh, resembling a debt collector at first glance, he wasn’t a pervert, nor did he have a fetish for voyeuristically watching pure young girls... probably... he was simply being dutiful.

Wong stood in the shadows with his arms crossed, his face looking as if everyone owed him five million.

Watching the girl reading thirstily by candlelight, his heart, which had been roughened by time, couldn’t help but be slightly moved.

”Master Ancient One was right; she’s a promising talent,” Wong thought. ”Much better than those impetuous kids outside.”

However, the night was late.

No matter how hard one works, one must rest; overextending mental energy is a major taboo in cultivation.

Wong sighed. Instead of walking out to scold her, he decided to show a senior’s ”silent tenderness.”

Hiding behind the bookshelf, he lightly rubbed his fingers together.

Whoosh—

A gentle breeze arose out of nowhere, accurately blowing out the candle on Lux’s desk.

The room fell into total darkness.

”Eh?” Lux was stunned, forgetting to chew the apple in her mouth.

But she didn’t mind, thinking it was just a strong wind.

As the lady of luminosity, the thing she lacked least was light.

So, she casually snapped her fingers.

Snap.

On the previously extinguished wick, a ball of pure white flame suddenly ignited.

It was even brighter than the candle flame from before, and it didn’t even produce smoke.

Wong, hiding in the shadows: ”...”

He was stunned.

This wasn’t how the script was supposed to go.

Shouldn’t a normal person grope around in the dark for matches, find none, and then obediently go back to sleep, allowing him, the gentle senior, to hide his contribution and fame?

What kind of move was it to casually conjure a light ball to use as a light bulb?

Wong didn’t believe it.

To maintain his dignity as a senior and to get the kid to go to sleep, he quietly conjured a slightly stronger wind spell.

Whoosh—!

This time the wind was noticeably louder, even fluttering Lux’s blonde hair.

However, that ball of pure white flame remained motionless in the wind.

Wong: ”...”

A wave of speechlessness welled up in his heart.

There was no other way; Wong had to give up on acting cool.

”Cough, cough.”

He coughed twice heavily and stepped out from the shadows with his hands behind his back, putting on a serious expression:

”It’s already late. The Library is closing. Go back and rest.”

Lux finally snapped out of it, and seeing it was Wong, Sumire’s eyes lit up.

Isn’t this the future Sorcerer Supreme, Old Wong?

Lux didn’t insist; she had a gentle personality and lacked that stubborn streak typical of geniuses.

After all, staying up this late was entirely because she was too immersed; now that she was interrupted, sleepiness began to wash over her.

”Ah, sorry! I didn’t notice the time.”

Lux quickly swallowed the last bite of her apple, stood up, and gave Wong a polite bow. ”Are you the librarian here? Thank you for the reminder. I’m sorry for the trouble...”

”No, I’m not.”

Hearing Lux being so polite, Wong was quite pleased, but he still shook his head.

A hint of helplessness appeared on his serious face. ”The current librarian is Master Tenzin. The old gentleman’s back pain flared up recently, so he went to Shangri-La to find a hot spring for treatment. I was temporarily grabbed by Master Ancient One to fill in for a few days.”

Speaking of this, Wong seemed to have found someone to vent to and couldn’t help but complain.

”To be honest, I’d rather spend the whole day at the training grounds fighting those brats than stay here, guarding these books every day, not being able to speak loudly, and having to watch out for thieves... it’s too boring...”
