The Villain’s Cheat Code: When a Gamer Becomes the Evil God’s Sidekick

The other students were dumbfounded, their eyes nearly popping out of their sockets.

Even the professor, who had been staring intently at the hourglass, was so shocked that his glasses almost slipped off.

He walked down from the podium and approached Aurelianne, picking up her exam paper from the desk and began flipping through it repeatedly.

After carefully reading the answers, he couldn't help but become entranced, showing an expression of amazement:

"This! Incredible..."

"Your Highness, for this last question, how did you... Oh, I apologize, I've failed in my duty."

The professor cut his question short, suddenly remembering he was still in an examination hall, and quickly suppressed his scholarly curiosity.

The other students were even more shocked seeing the professor's expression.

Could it be... the princess answered everything correctly?

In just these few short minutes?

The exam had barely begun!

Aurelianne responded with a gentle and elegant smile:

"It's alright, Professor Gaia."

"May I leave now? I'd like to see my teacher."

Professor Gaia finally came to his senses and nodded repeatedly:

"Oh, oh! Of course, Your Highness, you may leave now."

Having received permission, Aurelianne calmly stood up, politely bowed to the professor, then turned and gracefully left.

Only after Aurelianne disappeared behind the door did the other students snap out of their shock.

Holy crap, now they remembered!

The princess's teacher was—

Professor Viktor!

...

In the cold blue light, the teleportation array lit up as Aurelianne stepped out of the ancient mage tower.

The core purpose of the freshman assessment was to test students' understanding of magic.

The difficulty wasn't particularly high, because if a mere freshman exam was excessively harsh, there would be even fewer people who could become mages.

For Aurelianne, such an exam was merely a formality.

Perhaps she just wanted to prove something.

Besides, she hadn't come solely for this exam.

Walking along the academy's path, Aurelianne admired the surrounding scenery. Most new students were still in the mage tower, and the senior students hadn't returned yet, making the academy peaceful and serene at this moment.

She wandered in the breeze, curiously observing the rebuilt structures.

Her last visit was for Professor Viktor's lecture, and this time, she decided to explore more thoroughly.

Thinking this, her footsteps quickened.

Soon, she found herself standing at the edge of a massive lake.

Sunlight scattered across the lake's surface, creating ripples that sparkled like diamonds.

The water was crystal clear to the bottom, thanks to regular maintenance by the mages.

To commemorate Viktor's outstanding contributions during the Demon War, the Dean had specifically instructed this area be preserved as a reminder to the academy.

Aurelianne stood by the lake, mesmerized by the shimmering light in the sunshine, her mood peaceful.

However, on the other side of the lake, she spotted a mysterious figure.

The person was wrapped in loose robes, their form barely visible.

Their back seemed somewhat strange, with an inexplicably large bulge.

Who could that be?

Why would anyone else be in the academy at this time?

Growing suspicious, Aurelianne watched the figure alertly.

The person seemed to sense her gaze and turned their head, revealing a pair of snake-like emerald eyes.

The moment their eyes met those green serpentine pupils, Aurelianne felt her heart race, and she stood frozen like a statue.

There was something oddly familiar about it.

But in the blink of an eye, the person on the other side of the lake vanished from Aurelianne's sight.

Coming to her senses, she was bewildered, blinking her eyes in confusion:

Where did they go?

"What are you doing?"

At that moment, Viktor's voice sounded behind Aurelianne.

Her eyes lit up with countless expectations as she turned to face Viktor:

"Teacher!"

In the breeze, Viktor's black coat fluttered, while Vega perched on his shoulder meticulously groomed its feathers, seemingly uninterested in everything around it.

Viktor's expression remained calm as he looked at Aurelianne and said quietly:

"Not bad, it seems those exam questions couldn't stump you."

After all, with Aurelianne's magical talent, these simple questions were like child's play to her.

Aurelianne possessed the ability to memorize magic after seeing it just once, a gift that destined her to be far stronger than her peers.

Without question, this year's top freshman would be Aurelianne.

Hearing Viktor's praise, Aurelianne couldn't help but break into a sweet smile.

She asked curiously:

"Teacher, where are you heading?"

Viktor glanced at her, not concealing anything:

"Back to my office."

This year's freshman assessment was different from previous years - the Dean planned to conduct a public practical combat assessment to further classify student levels.

So Viktor needed to make preparations in advance.

Upon hearing this, Aurelianne's eyes immediately flashed with interest, and she asked hopefully:

"Teacher, may I come with you?"

Viktor nodded, agreeing to Aurelianne's request:

"Come along if you wish."

Aurelianne obediently followed behind Viktor.

Passing through the spring-filled courtyard, they arrived at the base of Viktor's private mage tower.

Sensing Viktor's arrival, the mage tower spoke in a friendly voice:

[Identity confirmed, Professor Viktor, welcome back to the mage tower.]

Viktor nodded slightly, stepping onto the teleportation array glowing with blue light.

He turned his profound gaze toward Aurelianne, gesturing for her to join him on the array.

A flash of blue light enveloped them, and a faint magical aura spread out, instantly surrounding them both.

The deep blue vision wavered before them until Aurelianne's sight gradually cleared.

Aurelianne curiously surveyed the book-filled office, where volumes were stacked haphazardly on the floor, and a massive wooden desk dominated the center, also piled high with documents and thick books.

She couldn't help but murmur to herself:

"The professor is truly diligent."

The modest-sized office was filled with Viktor's presence, occasionally wafting into Aurelianne's nostrils, giving her a strange sense of security.

Suddenly, she froze.

Her gaze fixed on a figure not far away.

It was a woman, her visibly voluptuous body concealed beneath loose robes, seemingly bent over something while swaying her waist.

Looking at the woman before her, Aurelianne stiffened.

She unconsciously turned to look behind herself, as if checking whether she too had such an alluring figure.

But upon comparison, Aurelianne's expression slightly froze.

She had lost, lost completely.

At this moment, Henie emerged from behind that curtain, her loose robes falling naturally to cover her entire body, concealing her perfect figure.

Upon seeing Henie, memories flooded Aurelianne's mind, making her recall.

This person, isn't she... that... that...!

The girl whose head was patted by teacher at his home!?

Aurelianne still remembered clearly.

The first time she visited Viktor's home, she had met this girl.

And now, why was she in teacher's office?

At this moment, a storm of thoughts swept through Aurelianne's mind.

The young Aurelianne couldn't help but think of many, many things.

Just then, a calm voice interrupted her thoughts:

"Henie, my former teaching assistant."

Viktor stood beside Aurelianne and said quietly:

"Now an associate professor at the academy."

Henie also recognized Aurelianne and quickly bowed to her:

"Your Highness."

Aurelianne blinked, watching as Henie's chest slightly shifted beneath her loose robes, her expression briefly stiffening.

But then she came back to her senses.

Henie?

She seemed to have heard this name before.

Wasn't she the one who had punched her second brother so hard his bones cracked???

Lost in thought, she suddenly stood still, eyes full of shock.

How could such a delicate-looking girl do something like that?

However, because the incident's impact wasn't too significant, and the Queen's return had caused quite a stir at the time.

So the matter of the second prince's injury was simply suppressed.

Now seeing Henie, Aurelianne had a surreal feeling.

As she was lost in thought, Viktor's voice broke the silence:

"How are the preparations coming along?"

Henie adjusted her posture and responded to Viktor solemnly:

"Professor, everything is ready!"

Aurelianne was somewhat puzzled, not quite understanding what the two had prepared.

Viktor suddenly turned to her and spoke calmly:

"Well, let's let Her Highness have a preview."

"Henie, open it."

Viktor's gaze fell on the black curtain covering the huge mirror.

Henie nodded and walked over, gently gripping the corner of the curtain.

Under Aurelianne's expectant gaze, Henie forcefully pulled back the heavy black cloth.

A huge mirror appeared before her, and upon it seemed to be two tightly closed eyes.

Aurelianne's reflection appeared in the mirror, giving her a strange sensation emanating from within.

Then, Viktor's voice continued:

"This is today's public assessment."

"I've given it a fitting name—"
