“…Is there truly nobody else who was able to qualify entering the elite class? Only a single person was able to withstand three moves…?” asked an old master seated at the side—who had a long purple robe on—who went by the name of Master Jizo. With the strength of a person who had entered the Third rank of the Avatar Realm, Master Jizo was one of the masters teaching the elite class in the academy. “While it’s unfortunate that that’s the case, the truth is, not only did that student manage to withstand three moves, but he even ended up defeating his opponent! With how strong he was, I have a feeling that he’s already entered the Fifth-soul-rank within the Sage Realm!” replied Karsten. “What? He actually managed to defeat a representative of our academy?” exclaimed Master Jizo in surprise. Even the other three masters found themselves exchanging glances with each other. To think that their newest elite class student would have such amazing power… They were right to be surprised
Upon hearing that, Gerald turned to look at the four masters sitting before him… Seeing that, the masters straightened their backs, anticipating Gerald’s choice. However, even after a while had passed, Gerald didn’t appear to have his choice made. With all five of them getting increasingly confused, Sumeru eventually asked, “…Are you unable to make a choice, Gerald?” Forcing on a slightly awkward smile, Gerald then replied, “…Dean Sumeru, am I only allowed to choose among these four masters…?” “You…! Are you looking down on us, kid?!” shouted Master Jizo as he glared at Gerald, clearly irritated by Gerald’s question. Keeping his cool, Gerald then explained, “I’m afraid you misunderstand me, Master Jizo. I wouldn’t dare look down upon any of you four masters! I’m just asking to see if there’s a better choice for me!” “Hmm? What better choice could you possibly be looking for?” asked Sumeru in a rather playful tone. This young man was rather special… Hearing that, Gerald th
Following that, a golden wooden token flew out from Sumeru’s pocket and hovered before Gerald’s face… “That there, is a wooden token exclusively for you. It serves as a symbol of your identity within the Leicom Academy. Also, since you’re my only student, you’ll have access to all the study resources of the academy!” explained Sumeru as he officially granted those privileges to Gerald. Being a student of the dean, Gerald could pretty much do whatever he wanted in the academy. It was truly a noble position to have… Even so, Gerald naturally cared little about the fame aspect. He was honestly more excited about the fact that he could use the academy’s study resources anytime and any way he pleased. With that privilege, Gerald would surely be able to master more skills and secret techniques, hence allowing him to improve himself much faster. With that said, Sumeru then ordered, “Karsten! Clean up the pavilion in the east court! From today onward, that will be Gerald’s private resi
When Master Ykink heard him, a smile appeared on his face.His impression toward Gerald was getting better and better now. After all, his status now was different as he was a student of the dean.“Master Ykink, living here alone is a bit boring. Can I get a few people to live here with me? I have some friends studying in the academy as well!”After thinking for a while, Gerald proposed to Karsten.“Um… This…”Master Ykink showed a doubtful face immediately.Such a thing had never happened in the academy before, as Gerald’s identity was different from the rest.Gerald took out a Heaven’s Apple from his storage ring immediately and gave it to Karsten.“Master Ykink, this is a token of appreciation from me. Please help me with this!” Gerald pleaded with Karsten.The moment Kasten saw Gerald taking out a Heaven’s Apple, he was dumbfounded.He never expected Gerald to have a holy fruit.“A Heaven’s Apple! Where… where did you get this?!” Karsten looked at Gerald in surprise and a
Nori asked Gerald three questions in succession.Gerald’s lips curled upward, and he said to them, “From now on, this place will be our residence. I am now the student of the dean!”Hearing this, the three were even more amazed.“Brother Gerald, are you kidding with us again? Are you really the student of the dean?” Cyril asked, looking at Gerald suspiciously.“Well, I know you won’t believe me right away. Here, let me show you something. This is the special wooden token the dean gave me. If you still don’t believe me, you can go and ask Master Ykink!”As Gerald was talking, he fished out the special wooden token Sumeru had given to him from his pocket and showed it to them.Now, Nori, Zelig, and Cyril finally believed him. No wonder Master Ykink was so respectful toward Gerald. Evidently, this was the reason behind it.“Gerald, you’re so cool! You actually become the student of the dean, plus, you get to live in such a good place!” Nori praised Gerald and looked at him with adm
“Kid, you must be tired of living!”The man said furiously.As he said that, he slammed his fist toward Gerald.Boom!Before he could touch Gerald, Gerald gave him a swift slap and sent him flying out.The man fell heavily on the table, splitting it into two halves.“Stop!”Right then, a serious voice was heard.The master of the voice was Master Ykink.He came in through the door and walked toward Gerald in quick steps.Seeing the arrival of Master Ykink, everyone fell into silence and dared not act hastily. The few elite students even lowered their heads.“Master Ykink!”Everyone at the scene greeted him.Karsten approached Gerald and asked with a serious face, “What’s going on? Who let you fight in the canteen?”Although Gerald held a special status, he still had to act stern in front of other people.“Master Ykink, it’s those elite students who started it. We were having our meals here, and they chased us out right after they came in, saying that it was the elite stu
However, this contest was not that simple.The academy would hold this event every year after the enrollment of new students. This was also to test the students’ true ability. It would be carried out in the form of a duel between students from the beginner to the elite classes.Soon, two days had passed.And today was the very day of the contest at Leicom Academy.Everyone in the academy gathered in the square. The beginner class sat in the east corner, the intermediate in the west corner, and the elite class in the south corner.As for Gerald, he sat beside Dean Sumeru.Seeing Gerald sitting beside Sumeru, everyone was in shock. They were curious about what his status was so much so that he was receiving such good treatment.“Fellow students, today is the annual martial arts contest of our academy after the enrollment of the new students. As always, the students from three different levels will join the contest and duel with each other!”After that, Master Ykink came forward a
“I will do it!”Suddenly, a voice rang out from among the beginner students.Gerald found the voice very familiar, so he looked in the direction of the voice immediately.It turned out to be Zelig.Gerald didn’t expect that Zelig would dare to come forward, knowing that this match was between a beginner and an elite, whose level of strengths would be apparently wide.“What’s your name?” Master Ykink looked at Zelig and asked.“Zelig Lear!” He blurted out his name.Then, a student from the elite side came out. He was none other than Lev Bayfield, who had recently joined the elite class.Lev Bayfield and Zelig Lear were both from Jaellatra, but Lev was slightly stronger than Zelig.Zelig was currently in the Rune Realm, whereas Lev had already broken into the Sage Realm. Hence, there was a big gap between them in terms of power.Lev’s lips curled upward into a wry smile, thinking that he had finally gotten the chance to torture Zelig.Although they were both people from Jaella
