A Villain's Way of Taming Heroines

"Ravenna, not me."

After a moment of silence, Barnes tugged at the corner of his mouth, then burst out laughing.

His laughter contained a hint of anger, but Ronger's answer was so absurd that his anger was almost nonexistent.

"Hahaha… Is this self-abandonment, or do you really have some confidence? Letting a third-stage girl teach the entire Etheric Academy… Well, I'm not in such a hurry now. Since the situation is like this, I might as well enjoy the show."

Barnes laughed sarcastically, his expression gradually fading:

"But remember, Ansel's actions show that he doesn't care about you, the Tower of Babel. Your days won't be easy in the future. If you make me lose face, I will definitely be one of those who won't let you off easy!"

"I trust Ravenna, Mr. Barnes."

Barnes' performance actually calmed down the previously hesitant and worried Ronger: "She will give you and me a perfect answer."

At the same time, a sudden uproar broke out in the hall, obviously something had happened that greatly surprised the audience.

Because the person who came on stage to host the lecture was not the famous fifth-stage sorcere Ronger Montrose, but the somewhat famous, but not only "famous"… Ravenna Ziegler.

Like Soren's lecture where he demonstrated his new spell, many people who participated in the Tower of Babel's lecture had different purposes.

The only difference was that at least many people really went to Soren's lecture with the purpose of learning, while the Tower of Babel's lecture… now basically only had people who came to watch the fun.

Those who knew the truth watched the fun of the isolated Tower of Babel, those who didn't know the truth watched what fun the Tower of Babel could make. In the large lecture hall, there were very few people who really came with the purpose of learning.

And when Ravenna took the stage, this atmosphere of watching the fun reached its peak.

"Has Babel lost its mind? Why isn't the woman from the Montrose family speeching?"

"She is the core genius of Babel... but does she truly deserve to stand here?"

"What stage is she? Third? Letting a third-stage dwarf spout nonsense? Has Babel gone mad?"

As the audience's whispers and discussions grew increasingly boisterous, echoing throughout the lecture hall, Ravenna's icy voice, amplified by the podium's sound system, reached every corner of the hall: "I am here to revolutionize the entire field of alchemy."

Her words silenced the entire hall in an instant.

Then, as expected... a burst of laughter erupted, so loud that even a sound barrier might not have been able to suppress it.

"What did she say? She said she's going to revolutionize alchemy?"

"Is the Tower of Babel trying to attract the attention of Lord Ansel with such nbullshit? Why not just become a clown then?"

"She's clearly gone mad... but it's quite entertaining to watch, hahaha—"

"Silence, you mediocrities, you... fools."

The woman's icy voice once again plunged the hall into silence.

"At a glance, I can find no less than a hundred fools in this room who I could crush from theory to practice."

Of course, Ravenna was telling the truth. Among the younger generation of the Tower of Babel, only Conrad could compete with her. Most of the spectators here weren't even worthy of being her shoe shiners.

The big shots hardly cared about the content of the lecture, because they only wanted to confirm whether Ansel would take sides because of the Tower of Babel. Now that Ansel had sided with Soren, Babel's lecture seemed meaningless.

So, although Ravenna's words had offended many, they were... not exaggerated.

"I don't have the habit of wasting time." Before the audience could start making a fuss, Ravenna removed her glasses, her sharp gaze emanating from her purple eyes, looking down at everyone below.

"Look carefully, what this is."

A streak of light flashed across her eyes, and the next second, a huge pale blue light curtain was projected from her glasses into mid-air, displaying a large array of incomprehensible numbers, strange charts, and... three-dimensional model images?

"[Data System]"

She uttered this incomprehensible term: "This is what I have created, the core that can replace the current inefficient alchemy system."

"I know you can't understand its use, so let me give you a few simple examples—the formula for the Lorenzo Cain potion."

As soon as Ravenna finished speaking, the numbers flashing on the light curtain began to roll at high speed. In just a few seconds, the light curtain displayed a three-dimensional scroll, on which was written—

Two grams of Furyshroom powder, half a gram of Azurewing powder, a tenth of a gram of Ivory Amber, mixed with a hundred grams of water, stirred thoroughly, and extracted using the extraction spell...

This clearly showed the necessary ingredients and the entire process for making the Lorenzo Cain potion!

"Query," Ravenna calmly said, "The most basic function, all potions, alchemical tools, special items, enchantment requirements... as long as they are entered, I can get the information I need in the shortest time, and the expansion on this—"

"What can I make if I now have a piece of Flamelle forge gold with a purity of over ninety percent, a two-hundred-year-old Norn ancient tree branch, and a complete Magma Dragon crystal core?"

The numbers on the light curtain began to roll again. This time, the rolling lasted a long time. After about five minutes, the words displayed on the light curtain changed again—

"An unknown potion with effects similar to the [Blazing Source Potion], with a success rate fluctuating around thirty-two percent."

"A weapon that can maintain absolute stability in a fourth-stage confrontation, with a maximum volume not exceeding five thousand cubic millimeters, can add penetration, sharpness, curse, burning, life, a total of nine enchantments, with a success rate fluctuating around twenty-one percent, the probability of enchantment needs to be calculated separately."

"A casting medium that tends to exert [Fire], [Life], [Change], [Toughness]... a total of twelve essences..."

Ravenna simply provided the materials she had, and the light curtain automatically gave out the items that could be made, even including the success rate!
