Damn, I Have to Marry the Strongest Antagonist at the Start?

Chapter 327: Chapter324-Owen and West Sanctum Academy



After walking up to the young man with a gentle expression, Vanessa boldly introduced herself, her large eyes wide with barely contained excitement.

Owen, standing before her, was taken aback that he had only just entered the city and was already being approached by a stunning purple-haired girl who asked him a question with somewhat cheesy pickup lines.

However, seeing her lively demeanor, he casually replied, "Like the white moonlight in your heart?"n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

Vanessa's pupils contracted slightly. "How did you guess that?"

"You're a fan of the Emperor, aren't you? You must be, otherwise why would you be dressed like the Emperor?"

"Ah?!" Owen was momentarily stunned, then nodded in agreement, "You're right!"

Vanessa, hearing this, immediately excitedly examined Owen's clothing and appearance, occasionally pinching the fabric of his robe. "This outfit! This demeanor! So similar! If you shaved your beard a bit, it would be even more like him! I can't believe someone can mimic the Emperor to this extent! It's a sight to behold!"

Owen couldn't help but take a few more looks at Vanessa; after all, he had been in seclusion for ten years. In that time, he thought ordinary people would have mostly forgotten about him, but here was someone who remembered his attire so clearly.

"Big brother, can we take a picture together for keepsake? In the future, our Emperor fan club can have you as the leader!"

Vanessa looked at Owen with wild enthusiasm, her eyes gleaming with excitement as she painted a bright picture. "Don't worry! With your good looks and my talent and intellect, we'll definitely become big and strong! Maybe someday we can meet the real Emperor!"

Seeing her full of excitement, Owen smiled and nodded, recalling the young, idealistic version of himself. "Okay!"

"Wait a minute-take a picture?"

"It's a new thing developed by technology; it's already trending. You don't know about this?" Vanessa pulled out a special crystal the size of a glasses lens from her pocket.

Owen was a bit stunned. It seemed that research had truly advanced down the scientific path. However, he was somewhat speechless to see that on the back of the crystal was a self-made photo, featuring her selfie alongside a photo of him, with a heart sticker stuck on it.

This suddenly reminded Owen of a time when being non-mainstream was the trend. "This was a gift from my sister! She's also a fan of the Emperor!"

Click!

A flash of white light.

A photo appeared within the crystal.

"Vanessa, hurry up! The enrollment for West Sanctum Academy is about to start, and if we're late, we'll have to wait in a long line!"

Not far away, Vanessa's friend urged her, seeing that she was chatting happily with the young man in the white robe.

Hearing the voice, Vanessa quickly reacted and said, "I'm coming!"

Then she turned to Owen, "Even though you're a bit older, you can still try to become a student of West Sanctum Academy. That way, you can grow quickly and have a chance to meet the Emperor!"

"Goodbye!"

After saying this, she turned and hurried away.

Owen rubbed his stubble, shaking his head slightly. He hadn't expected that after a decade in seclusion, he would be deemed too old by someone.

He took a deep breath and also headed toward West Sanctum Academy.

West Sanctum Academy Entrance.

Countless young boys and girls gathered here, gazing at the magnificent palace complex, some eager to try their luck. This was the most famous magic academy in the western outskirts of the Azure Kingdom! If they could enter, they wouldn't just receive the best training, but also have a great chance of becoming core officials in the Azure Kingdom and meeting the Emperor and Empress!

"I finally squeezed in! There are so many people enrolling!"

Vanessa wiped the sweat from her forehead, relieved as she looked at the enrollment line for West Sanctum Academy.

Just as she relaxed, she noticed an enrollment mentor at the entrance of West Sanctum Academy extending a hand toward her, coldly saying, "Enter and take the assessment. One thousand mana stones! Hurry up, or get lost! West Sanctum Academy doesn't accept poor people!"

One thousand mana stones!

That was a significant amount, enough for many mages to buy precious magical artifacts or train for several months.

Vanessa was immediately taken aback. "But didn't the Emperor say that the academy only looks at talent? As long as your talent is sufficient, you can enter for free? It was like this before; why has it changed now?"

"You also said that was before! The headmaster has changed the rules. In addition to talent, a monitoring fee must also be paid!"

The enrollment mentor said with a face full of disdain. "If you can't produce the mana stones, get lost! West Sanctum Academy lacks nothing but talent!"

"Why should it be like this? The Emperor's command was to only look at talent for free admission. Why does West Sanctum Academy arbitrarily change the command?"

Vanessa couldn't contain her anger as she glared at the enrollment mentor.

"Oh, look at your tone! I thought you were some noble official from the empire. Such courage, such a sense of justice! So what if you are? The headmaster's rules are above all!"

The enrollment mentor glared at Vanessa. "If you keep speaking like this, get lost! West Sanctum Academy only needs students who follow the headmaster's orders!"

Vanessa's face turned ugly, but she still gritted her teeth and decided to enter the academy to improve her strength first.

So, she composed herself and said, "I can't take out that much mana stone right now, but my sister is also a student at West Sanctum Academy. Can you offer some discount?"

"Oh? Your sister is also in the academy?" The enrollment mentor's fierce expression softened slightly as he asked, "Who is your sister?"

"My sister is Dennis!" Vanessa declared loudly, "She entered the academy last year."

As soon as she finished speaking, she noticed that all the enrollment teachers looked at her with a mix of disdain and murderous intent.

Vanessa's body trembled; she didn't know what was happening or why they were staring at

her with such deadly glares.

Being inexperienced in the world, she stepped back in fear.

"No wonder you speak so boldly; so you're her sister!"

"Since that's the case, it's best for you two sisters to reunite."

The enrollment mentor's voice turned cold, and a terrifying aura pressed down on Vanessa

like a mountain.

"What... what are you doing?"

Vanessa felt all her bones creaking under the pressure.

The enrollment mentor sneered, "You don't know yet, do you? Your sister disobeyed the headmaster's orders and has been killed!"

Sister, dead!

Hearing this cold statement, Vanessa trembled all over, unable to believe it!

Although her sister hadn't sent her any news this year, she thought it was just because her

sister was busy with training.

"How could my sister die? Impossible! Impossible!"

Vanessa's heart trembled as she questioned in disbelief.

Seeing Vanessa's reaction, the enrollment mentor looked at her with malicious amusement,

"Do you know how your sister died?"

"Tsk tsk tsk, even we who witnessed it felt a bit sorry, but who told her to go against the headmaster's orders? She was collecting evidence against the headmaster, saying she was

going to report him to the Emperor!"

"Did she lose her mind? The headmaster had a deep and friendly exchange with her! You don't know, we heard her screams for three whole days..."

"The headmaster said she was very moist; I wonder if this sister of yours is also moist?"

The enrollment mentor burst into laughter.

The other talents present also had significant changes in their expressions.

But thinking of their future, they all chose to endure.

After all, the name of the Emperor had become very distant; it had been ten years or more

since he had last appeared.

What if the Emperor did show up?

A person of such stature wouldn't care about these small matters.

The higher the heaven, the further the emperor; this place had become the graveyard of that

headmaster.

Even if the Emperor learned of it, he likely wouldn't care.

However, while they collectively remained silent, Vanessa's eyes filled with bloodshot rage, and she slapped the enrollment mentor across the face.

The enrollment mentor initially didn't mind; after all, his power was far above Vanessa's.

But at this moment, Vanessa emitted a special aura, and that slap landed squarely on his face!
