Marvel: All My Incarnations Are S-Class Villainesses

Chapter 56: Chapter 56: The Gentle Wong

Mordo only felt that his authority had been subjected to an unprecedented provocation.

”Cough!!!”

Mordo coughed heavily, his voice laced with magic, making everyone’s ears ring.

”Are you all that idle? Have you finished today’s combat training? Everyone, get back to training!”

Seeing their Master Brother fly into a rage, the apprentices finally dispersed reluctantly, looking back with every step as they returned to their positions.

Having dispersed the crowd, Mordo walked up to Lux with a dark expression.

”Since you’ve already changed your clothes, let’s get down to business.”

Mordo raised his hand and drew a portal; on the other side was a quiet Library filled with the scent of ink.

He led Lux through the portal and walked straight to a row of massive bookshelves. Regardless of whether Lux could understand them, he pulled out several ancient books as thick as bricks and shoved them into her arms.

”Read them thoroughly and memorize them. This is the absolute basic of basics.”

Lux held the pile of books with some effort and looked down at the titles—\”The Book of Seraphim,\” \”Agamotto Scrolls,\” \”Basic Sanskrit and Hand-copied Scrolls,\” \”Sanskrit and Runic Comparative Dictionary\”... Sumire’s eyes lit up.

They’re all good things!

Lux held the books and smiled sweetly, ”Thank you, Master Brother Mordo~”

This ”Master Brother” almost made Mordo’s bones go soft.

His dark face, which was perpetually tense, twitched visibly and almost broke character, but he took a deep breath, forcibly suppressed that slight oddity in his heart, and stuck to his opinion—

A young lady like this, who had never suffered, would surely lose interest in three minutes.

He estimated she’d be crying and begging to go home after reading just two pages.

”Hmph, don’t get happy too soon. I’ll be doing a random check tomorrow.”

Mordo snorted coldly, flicked his sleeve, and turned to leave, feigning a cold and aloof manner.

Leaving behind a back that seemed resolute but was actually slightly flustered.

Bidding farewell to Mordo, Lux dove into the Library with the stack of brick-like magic books.

She read for several hours straight.

So cute.

Just as Lux was reading the ”Agamotto Scrolls,” a slender figure stepped out from behind the bookshelf.

It was a very charismatic middle-aged man with well-groomed short hair and deep-set eyes, especially that face—elegant, stern, and carrying a unique melancholic temperament.

One look made people feel that this man was very good at ”conducting himself.”

Kaecilius.

It was still 2011, and this master with a handsome ”Hannibal” face had not yet betrayed the Ancient One; he was even one of her most prized students, with a status in the Sanctum half a notch higher than the rigid Mordo.

Sumire found this point very interesting.

In the comics, Kaecilius was a minor lackey under Mordo, but in the movies, his seniority was actually quite a bit higher than Mordo’s.

He didn’t stare at Lux like the others.

He merely gave Lux a slight, graceful nod as he passed by, his eyes as calm as water.

Then, with a gentle flick of his slender fingers, a heavy book automatically fell into his hand, and he turned to leave.

Lux was a bit dazed, not because she thought this face, identical to Uncle Hannibal’s, was handsome... well, it was indeed handsome, but it wasn’t her type.

Lux took after Sumire; she still preferred fragrant and soft beautiful girls.

It was just that Kaecilius reminded her of an old acquaintance... Sylas... another traitor... Lux commented casually and continued to immerse herself in the ocean of books... time flew by.

As night fell, the apprentices in the Library left one after another, leaving only a tiny flicker of lamplight in the corner.

Lux sat cross-legged on a chair, crunching on a bright red apple while her other hand rapidly flipped through the pages.

If Demacia’s etiquette teacher saw this scene, they would probably faint from anger on the spot, but Lux felt incredibly happy at this moment.
