Mind-Controlled by the Villainess? I’ll Turn the Tables and Make Her Mine!

When Ansu’s consciousness returned, he found himself back in the classroom before the simulation.

The classroom after school was still a mess. The seatmate beside him was hitting on a girl in the front row, and the teacher on the podium, preparing for the next class, was wiping down the alchemy tools needed for teaching...

Ansu let out a sigh of relief. He was finally back...

The system prompt appeared before his eyes again.

【Reality】

【Radiant Calendar 625, April 12, 10:22】

【In this simulation, because you were brainwashed by black magic, you wasted most of your time, but you obtained some intelligence.】

【Evaluation: D】

【System reward being distributed...】

【Reward: 8 Points】【Remaining Points: 8】

Looking at the system interface, Ansu sighed in his heart. The remaining 8 points were not enough for another simulation.

It seemed he would have to rely on himself for now...

There was no helping it. Celia’s move of using ’hypnosis for lie detection’ had completely disrupted his plans.

At that moment, another system prompt popped up.

【Considering this is your first simulation, to encourage the host to overturn the destined death of the future, a bonus skill reward *1 is provided.】

【Magic Immunity】

【When you are subjected to an opponent’s magical attack, you can gain one immunity effect.】

【The scope of immunity includes any magical damage, negative effects, and positive effects. The duration is the entire turn (from the beginning of the magical effect to the end). Cooldown: 24 hours.】

【Note: The retention time after 10 minutes of simulation is 3 hours. The retention time after 10 hours of simulation is 12 hours.】

【Making key changes in reality to overturn fate can also earn points. Welcome to continue using the simulation function for a chance to gain more simulation time and generous rewards. Please continue to work hard, Host!】

’Magic Immunity’, huh... Ansu remembered that there were indeed similar skills in the game.

This kind of skill was relatively useless in the early stages since it couldn’t deal damage, but for players familiar with the mechanics, it could be very powerful if used well.

For example, if Celia were to hypnotize him again, Ansu could perfectly evade it...

But he didn’t need to take such a risk. Ansu didn’t want to deal with that heaven-defyingly powerful witch alone.

While he was thinking about this, fewer and fewer people remained in the classroom.

Ansu remembered that Ms. Mary was waiting for him. If he didn’t go to her soon, she would definitely come looking for him. He didn’t have much time left.

He quickly reviewed all the details that had just occurred.

The Echoes of Truth cult wanted to plant a mole in the Benalu Royal Academy, and he, having no background, was unfortunately chosen. It seemed that in the original plot, this was exactly how he got caught up in the cult’s conspiracy.

But as long as he dodged this time, he could definitely overturn the ”destined death” coming in two weeks.

Ansu felt a wave of lingering fear. Fortunately, he had a flash of inspiration just now and stalled for time, learning that Celia had a lie-detecting ability.

Otherwise, even if he simulated again, it would likely be game over...

Thinking of this, Ansu opened his notebook, quickly wrote two lines, and tore the page out.

”Kevin, do me a favor!”

He tapped his seatmate’s shoulder.

”What is it? Wait a second, wait a second...”

Seeing that his seatmate was still trying hard to hit on the girl in the front row, while the girl continued to ignore him, Ansu grabbed him.

”Stop talking! She’s just not that into you!”

”Hey...” The seatmate turned around awkwardly and said helplessly, ”What do you actually want?”

”It’s a matter of life and death!” Ansu hurriedly stuffed the note into his hand and lowered his voice.

”I need you to go to the Church of Holy Light for me and hand this note to the Holy Maiden in person! Good brother! Once it’s done, I’ll do all your homework for a month!”

”Huh?” Kevin didn’t expect to be asked for such a favor. When he slowly opened the note, his expression became even more confused.

”What is this? What does it mean?”

”Don’t worry about that.” Ansu patted him and urged, ”Remember to wait until after I leave the classroom before you set off!”

”But...” Kevin hesitated for a moment. ”The Holy Maiden doesn’t know me. Can I even get the letter to her?”

”Just say that the letter was sent by someone from her hometown.” Ansu’s expression was certain. ”As soon as she hears that, she will definitely be anxious to see you.”

”This...” Kevin’s expression became more and more bewildered.

Ansu saw that he was still a bit reluctant, so he continued to raise the stakes.

”How about this! One month of homework, plus cheating for one midterm exam! I’ll help you pass the exam when the time comes! The results will definitely satisfy that old man of yours! How about it?”

Kevin’s face changed instantly, his eyes lighting up.

”Fine! Deal!”

Ansu breathed a sigh of relief.

Using money to move this seatmate of his wouldn’t work; after all, not many people attending this school were poor.

Kevin’s father was a nouveau riche in the royal capital, so his expectations for Kevin’s academics were quite high.

Among all the countermeasures Ansu had thought of, ”reporting” was still the most effective.

The current cult was not as powerful as it was in the later plot; otherwise, it wouldn’t be constantly lurking underground, being hunted everywhere by the Inquisition of Heresy and demon-hunting teams.

To prevent the note from being intercepted, the content he wrote was very simple: one was a request for a meeting with a time and place, and the other was the Holy Maiden’s birthplace.

This was a ”threat” directed at her.

The Holy Maiden would be one of the members of the protagonist’s party in the future. Ansu, who was familiar with the plot, knew that she had a secret buried deep in her heart—

She wasn’t actually a pure-blooded human, but a demihuman.

Although cat girls, dragon girls, and monster girls were quite cute in Ansu’s eyes—practically hitting all his preferences—in this world’s setting, especially within the empire, demihumans were heavily discriminated against and oppressed. If the Holy Maiden didn’t hide her bloodline, she would never have the glorious status she possessed now.

So, Ansu’s note was essentially: ’Miss Holy Maiden, you wouldn’t want the secret of your demihuman bloodline to be known by others, would you?’

With the Holy Maiden’s personality, as soon as she saw those words, she would definitely have an immediate stress response and arrive as scheduled like a blackmailed heroine...

Her origin was her greatest weakness.

This was Ansu’s ”external help,” but besides that, he had a second plan.

That was to head straight to the principal’s office and find a reason to chat with that highly respected old man.

As an outstanding student from a poor background, the principal had always treated children like him with favor. If it were his seatmate Kevin, he definitely wouldn’t be able to see him.

There was no way you, Celia, could kill both the Holy Maiden and the principal, right?

After repeatedly urging his seatmate several times, Ansu stood up and walked out of the classroom.

He observed the hallway left and right. Ms. Mary was not there, so he quickly walked toward the stairs.

But just as he had not gone far, a girl’s voice gave him a start.

”Ansu? Where are you going? Ms. Mary told you to go to the office quickly!”

Seeing it was just a classmate passing on a message, Ansu replied casually, ”Okay, I’ll go right away!”

Like hell he would!

If he went, he would be knocked out, tied up, and then brainwashed into a mindless puppet.

After leaving the teaching building, Ansu headed straight for the administrative office area. The Benalu Royal Academy was ridiculously large, almost equivalent to a small town, but as long as he reached that area, he would definitely be safe...

The academy’s high-level staff included transcendent experts, and the Academic Affairs Office had a security team that was well-equipped and well-trained.

He was almost safe...

But as he walked, just as he was about to reach the tree-lined path, Ansu noticed that the girl who had just passed the message to him had chased after him.

”Hey! Ansu, wait up!”

”The teacher has been waiting for you for a long time. She seems quite angry!”

Ansu frowned and looked at her. This girl was wearing the academy uniform, her cheeks were flushed, and she looked like she was out of breath.

”Didn’t I say I’m going...” Just as Ansu spoke, he suddenly realized something was wrong.

Then, he turned around and bolted!

Regardless of whether he was being overly sensitive, anyone stopping him now was a suspect! Ansu wouldn’t go to Ms. Mary’s office even if he were beaten to death!

But a bizarre scene occurred.

The moment Ansu rushed into the tree-lined path, the girl who was originally behind him appeared in front of him with a smile...

”Heh, trying to escape?”

Crap! Ansu’s scalp instantly went numb.

When he tried to continue running, he found that his entire body was unable to move. He could only watch helplessly as this girl walked up to him and then...

Slowly embraced him.

The two were hugging tightly. To an outsider, they looked just like a young couple with a very good relationship.

But only Ansu knew that he couldn’t break free from this embrace at all. His mouth was even covered, making it impossible to even speak...

The girl stood on her tiptoes and leaned close to Ansu’s ear with a smile.

”What a hassle. Why are you running around everywhere? You actually made me step in personally...”

Upon hearing that familiar voice, Ansu felt quite speechless.

To catch me, you really went all out...

Celia.

But at this point, no matter what he did, it was too late. A pungent smell of chemicals swirled around his nose, and Ansu’s consciousness gradually faded.

There was only one last thought in his mind.

At least the letter was sent out...

Watching Ansu gradually go limp in her arms, the corners of Celia’s mouth rose slightly.

She quietly pulled a bottle of ether out of her pocket and gave a light chuckle. Ms. Mary’s office was full of these kinds of medicines.

”Heh... I suddenly found that this stuff is more useful than magic.”

Subsequently.

A pair of embracing lovers, seemingly in the middle of a passionate relationship, slowly crossed the tree-lined path and entered a small grove until their figures were completely swallowed up...

Even if someone saw them, they would only smile knowingly and not notice anything unusual at all.
