Magic's Return: I Can See The Spirits-Chapter 71 To Think The Simp General Would Be Here

"Young Master Vaan, you have been studying for 8 hours now, I know you won't stop even if I tell you to so I won't try it, however, please eat something before continuing."

Lily walked into the library pushing a table as she spoke in a respectful tone.

Vaan, who was inside the library glanced at her, dark circles were forming under his eyes and he looked tired. There were around 15-16 books lying on his table, all these books were related to the water element and its spells.

However, none of these books were as good as the precise notebook Elara prepared for him. The problem was the same, not a single mage had created a Spell Directory like Elara had, and even if they did create them for their own reference, they made sure to destroy it and not allowed a single person to read it.

Vaan had to look through different books to find different spells and search around for Magic Patterns required for them, which was, of course, much more inefficient.

Even now, after looking around for 8 hours, he hadn't completely mastered even a single spell, which annoyed him to the core.

Vaan really was an impatient man…

Anyways, as his eyes fell on Lily who stood next to him in an appropriate and respectful posture and was already pouring the tea into the cup for him, a small smile appeared on his face,

"You seem to have gotten used to this place." He commented.

"Young Master Vaan has treated me better than I expected, I am just playing my role as his maid," Lily replied with a calm look on her face.

"Oh ho? I actually thought you would show more resistance."

"There is no reason for me to do that. I have already decided to submit to Young Master Vaan." Again, there was no change in Lily's expression.

Seeing this, Vaan's interest died.

He wanted to use this chance to get a little break and get some sort of reaction out of this new maid of his.

Yes, he was a sadistic bastard who was trying to rub his victory on a maid, however, Lily was like a robot who didn't show any reaction despite knowing exactly what he was trying to do.

'Tsk, emotionally calm people are annoying.'

Vaan snorted in his head.

Lily, on the other hand, placed the cup of tea on his table along with some snacks, then, she looked into Vaan's eyes and,

"Young Master Vaan." She called out.

"Was it really alright to leave those rumors alone? I know you want to save your time, but wouldn't it be faster to address the issue rather than deal with the complications one by one? It is not like Young Master Vaan does not know the truth." Lily questioned.

"Are you worried about me?" Vaan questioned with a smile.

"If Young Master Vaan is annoyed, he might take his anger out on me, I am worried about it." Lily nodded.

"Are you saying I am someone who takes his anger out on others?"

"Anger is a volatile emotion. Young Master is a just and capable man, but anger can get the best of anyone since it can also be used as a driving force to motivate oneself. Although the Young Master has strong self-control there is no harm in taking preventive measures if they are available."

Saying all that bullshit with a straight face...

Lily was quite a character as well.

"A cheerful name like Lily doesn't suit you at all." Vaan snorted.

Lily was no fun.

"I heard 3 of them have already been sent back." Lily completely ignored Vaan's words and reported.

"Oh? They came already?" Vaan was surprised.

The 'complications' she was talking about were not Vaan's uncles or aunts, she was still new here and didn't exactly know the structure of the Vesta Family.

However, she did know about Seraphina.

Seraphina's family, the Stormweaver Family wasn't strong, however, in the Vesta City, Seraphina had a decent level of influence.

Why?

Because she was beautiful.

Vaan wasn't the only one.

There were many young males who were head over heels for her and were willing to do anything for her.

Vaan named them the Simp army.

Of course, he knew that the previous Vaan was part of the same army, however, since it was embarrassing to think about, Vaan decided to ignore it.

Anyways, this simp army was the one was the 'complications' Lily was talking about.

Hearing what Vaan had 'done' with Seraphina, the simp army was furious, they wanted justice for their goddess and some of them were foolish enough to come to the Vesta Family and challenge him to a Magic Duel in the name of 'revenge.'

Deciding to go against the Young Master of the Vesta Family, no matter how pathetic his reputation was, Vaan was actually impressed.

'Even the simps can be brave!

I thought they were all losers with no bitches.

Impressive…'

"Could this be the reason Sera spread these rumors?" Vaan questioned with a curious look on his face.

Lily, who knew the most about Sera had a strange expression,

"This is not Lady Seraphin-"

"Ahh?" Before Lily could continue, Vaan interrupted, his expression seemed like he wanted something from Lily.

Lily understood, then, she sighed and started again, "This is not that bitch's usual style. It seems like a rash move with no clear motives or profits, but if we do think about it, then this might be her way of what you did to her a few days ago. She might be trying to indirectly warn you, showing you that something worse than this could happen if you repeat what you did that day.

That bitch must be thinking that Young Master Vaan would be scared of so many people challenging him to a Magic Dual and would act carefully when he is around her the next time."

Lily replied.

Vaan was satisfied.

He didn't like how his servant was addressing his enemy so respectfully, so he made her change the way she addressed Sera.

Though hearing it from Lily's monotonous tone wasn't very fun. 𝑏𝘦𝘥𝑛𝘰𝘷𝑒𝘭.𝑐𝘰𝑚

Anyways, suddenly, a curious smile appeared on Vaan's face and,

"Do you think he would come?" He questioned.

ραndαsnοvεl.cοm *Knock* *Knock*

Before Lily could answer, Vaan heard a knock and,

"Young Master Vaan, Sir Roland Frostmoon is requesting to meet you," Gabel reported and a wide smile appeared on Vaan's face.

"To think the Simp General would be here while I was just talking about him,

Guess today is my lucky day.

Shall I buy a lottery ticket?
