Chapter 41: Grasping Psychology

Goodwill? Upon hearing The World Gehrman Sparrow’s question, Magician Forsi almost suspected that her ears had deceived her.

In her mind, the first thing that appeared was Mr. X’s head, pieced together, covered in cracks, seams, and bloodstains.

Just as Forsi was weighing her words, trying to invent a suitable explanation, Justice Audrey glanced at her from the side, then looked toward The World Gehrman Sparrow with a faint smile.

“What matters in making the Abraham family feel your goodwill is not what you have done, but what Miss Magician writes in her letter.”

That is true. Unless I directly appear before Miss Magician’s teacher, his understanding of me will be limited to various rumors and what Miss Magician tells him… As long as the story she tells is good enough, it doesn’t matter even if it doesn’t match reality… Klein abruptly realized that he had fallen into a dead end while thinking about the corresponding issue.

“Ah?” Magician Forsi had vaguely grasped Miss Justice’s meaning, but not thoroughly enough.

Justice Audrey looked at The Hermit, The Star, and the others, then said to Forsi, “You need to convey Mr. World’s goodwill to your teacher. To do that, you can weave a few stories, rather than simply state the truth.”

“What should I say?” Magician Forsi took the initiative to ask.

It was not that she was bad at making up stories. Quite the opposite—this was exactly what she was best at. The problem was that writing a novel others liked and writing a story others believed were not the same thing. For the latter, obtaining advice from a “senior” psychologist would undoubtedly make things much easier.

Justice Audrey had already thought through the details of the letter before speaking. At this moment, her pace was neither rushed nor slow.

“Clearly, your teacher must already have noticed your rapid advancement. Because of Mr. X’s death and the many sensitive issues involved, he likely holds a certain degree of doubt and wariness toward the Beyonder circle you are involved in.”

“Mm.” Forsi nodded almost imperceptibly, agreeing with Miss Audrey’s judgment.

If her teacher, Dorian Gray Abraham, were someone careless and slow to react to all kinds of abnormal signs, he would never have survived until now. He would long ago have been captured by the Aurora Order, or killed by some other force interested in the Abraham family.

Justice Audrey continued, “Under such circumstances, he still keeps in contact with you, teaches you knowledge, gives you formulas, and provides materials. This shows that, on one hand, he acknowledges your character and moral quality. On the other, he also holds expectations toward you becoming a Sequence 4 demigod, and toward you obtaining important intelligence from that mysterious, dangerous Beyonder circle.

“What we need to do is make use of that psychology.”

Audrey had originally wanted to use the more neutral word “grasp” in place of “make use of.” But after a brief pause, she still chose to face herself and face the essence of the matter.

Seeing Magician Forsi adopt a posture of serious listening, and seeing Judgment, The Star, and The Hermit also clearly interested in what she would say next, Justice Audrey pressed her lips together and said, “After you return, you can write to him and tell him that you have already become a Traveler. This will make him both happy about your growth and alarmed by such an exaggerated speed of advancement.

“Then, answer the question he previously raised. Say that the gentleman seeking to purchase a Star Worm mentioned something: the ancient curse within the Abraham family’s bloodline seems to come from a hidden existence called Mr. Door.

“This is a question your teacher has never told you about, yet absolutely cares about.

“Without a doubt, he will feel fear toward the gentleman who appears to know that you have a connection with the Abraham family, and he will want to avoid him. However, he will also inevitably…
