Chapter 9: The Sage of the Firmament

The entire academy was silent at this moment.

Not only Diarra, but Walter and Jones Sr. didn't believe their ears, but even the students and instructors all looked strange. Looking into the eyes of Gustas, it was like seeing an old madman who had taken the wrong medicine.

"The Dean is drinking again?"

"No, I don't. ”

"Then what is this old guy crazy about, isn't he clearly not giving face to Vice President Diarra?"

The students and instructors exchanged words and whispered to each other. Everyone couldn't believe that for the sake of an ordinary candidate, Gustas would embarrass Diarra and Walter and others in person.

Just the sound he roared just now had completely changed the faces of Diarra and the others. It's simply ...... It's a living slap in the face.

The students were talking, and the supporters were not idle. Everyone's eyes swept over Gustas and Roy's faces. Some of the most intelligent people are speculating about whether Roy and Gustas have anything to do with each other in private.

The more I think about it, the more we feel that there is a secret. Otherwise, why would that black-haired kid be so horizontal. On such a heavy day as the entrance exam, in front of so many people, dare to kick Bruno in the stomach?

And more importantly, you see, he kicked it cleanly. I don't even blink an eye.

Take out the history of the first training camp Muni City Branch, and twist out the most bastard kid in decades and count them, I'm afraid this is the only one who dares to do such a thing!

"Dean, what do you mean by that?"

Diarra took a deep breath and asked slowly. His voice was low. The tone was steady, but the suppressed anger in it was undisguised.

Although Diarra is only the deputy dean, all the teachers and students in the school know that Diarra is not inferior to Gustas in terms of the background of power theory and status theory. It can be said that he was parachuted directly from the main camp three years ago, and he simply came to take over Gustas's class!

Gustas branch in Muni City. It's been almost twenty years.

The old man has good magical attainments, but he is a fool in competition and management. Over the years, the biggest mistake he made was to open up the admission criteria for the training camp to civilians. The threshold for civilians to join has been lowered.

Because of this move, the first training camp became a civilian training camp. Many of the children of the nobility, who disdained to mingle with the children of the commoners, turned to the other two training camps.

The strength of the children of the nobility was generally higher than that of the common students. If there are few aristocratic students, the average strength of the students will be low, and the grades will be poor. And the worse the grades, the fewer outstanding students are willing to apply for the first training camp, and the worse the grades.

This has become a vicious circle for the academy during Gustas's leadership.

Poor grades alone. Not to mention the loss of outstanding students, what makes the academy teachers even more depressed is the loss of fans.

In terms of the number of fans, the first training camp has actually been increasing over the years. This is all due to the fact that the old man recruited a large number of civilian cadets.

But no matter how many civilian supporters there are, they are just a bunch of poor ghosts with no money and no power. Not only did their savings not help the college in any way, but their children also needed a large amount of bursaries from the college to fund them.

A thousand civilians. It can't compare to the role of a nobleman to the academy!

While the other two camps had the money to buy all kinds of equipment, the first camp could only tinker. While the other two training camps hired high-level mercenaries and knights to teach, the first training camp only tested these instructors.

▲ Armor, War Horse, Supplementary Magic Core of the Illusion Tower's Demon Pattern Array, Trial, Magic Research. Magic pattern research, elixir materials and formulas, that is not a guarantee for the improvement of the academy's strength, and what one does not require a lot of money support?

Can these things fall from the sky just by the enthusiastic roar of these civilian fans?

Therefore. Some of the teachings in the general camp and the academy had long been dissatisfied with Gustas. Diarra was sent to be the deputy director in order to save the Muni branch from this lazy, confused, and abusive stocky old man.

Since Diarra came, Gustas also seemed to know it, and simply let go of all the affairs in the academy to Diarra, and he either hid in the magic tower every day to do research, or went out to get money.

If it weren't for his profound magical attainments, his good means of making money, and his dedication to being an old scalper for the academy, I'm afraid he wouldn't have been able to tolerate him a long time ago. ..., in terms of power and skill, in terms of strict management, Diarra, an orthodox knight, is stronger than Gustas to the sky.

Under his management, the entire academy went from being lazy and relaxed in the Gustas era to quickly becoming strict. In particular, the [Strength Respected] assessment system that he single-handedly formulated and implemented strongly has made great changes in the college.

The powerful aristocratic cadets were given a lot of privileges, while the commoner cadets were trembling on thin ice, for fear of failing the assessment or being kicked out of the training camp by Diarra.

In addition, in the past two years, Diarra has strictly controlled the admission of civilian candidates, and the nobles are willing to send their children here. Lord Scarlett, Xia Li, who joined the academy last year, and some gifted noble students are the best examples.

Although trying to reverse the consequences caused by Gustas is not something that can be done in a year or two. But one thing is certain, and that is that Diarra's status and prestige in the academy are not at all inferior to those of Gustas.

In a way, Diarra is the real controller of the academy. Not only does he have a strong background in the main camp, but he also has a large group of followers in the academy. More than half of the people in the top management of the academy supported him.

Originally, if nothing else, Gustas and Diarra would have slowly completed the transition of leadership of the academy in this tacit manner. Don't fight, don't grab, don't blush.

But no one expected that on this admission day, Gustas directly rejected Diarra's decision for the sake of a candidate who committed a crime.

It's unbelievable!

Hearing Diarra's question, everyone's eyes were focused on Gustas' face. They wanted to hear what the dean, who jumped up like a fat cat with its tail stepped on, and the flesh on his cheeks was shaking, would say.

In everyone's eyes, Gustas scratched his head. At that time, I was anxious because the little watermelon nodded desperately, and I didn't have time to think about it for a while. But when he spoke, he realized that there was something he seemed to have mistakenly understood.

The black-haired kid in front of him is a knight candidate!

Not to mention that he didn't even use a bit of magic from beginning to end. Even at this moment, he touched his whole body with his perception, and he couldn't find the slightest magic fluctuation!

"Little watermelon lied to me?" the thought made Gustas almost rush upstairs to get his collector's edition watermelon knife.

But soon, when he saw the little watermelon giving him a thumbs up, he rejected the idea. He knew that although the little watermelon was sometimes a little out of tune, he would never lie to himself in such a matter.

Thinking carefully about the rumors about the magician, Gustas had doubts in his heart, but he also looked at Roy with more and more interest.

Black hair, this is in line with the rumors.

is so young, and the shot is so calm, obviously he has experienced it on the battlefield. This can also be considered to coincide.

In the trial report of Nicole's team, there was also such a black-haired kid who separated from them in Edin City after helping to kill the super fifth-order demonic beasts. And counting the time, the battle of Medin City was a matter of not long after that.

And also...... Gustas' gaze fell on Roy's knee.

For a magician, this is the most convincing evidence.

The scene of Roy's change of direction in the air just now, the old man saw it. With his eyesight, he could see at a glance that it was the magic pattern on the knee armor. However, after so many years of magical research, he knew thousands of magic patterns, but he couldn't find any known magic patterns that could match the magic patterns on Roy's knee armor.

Moreover, ordinary people use the magic pattern, they need to activate the magic core to provide energy, and only a magician can use magic power to stimulate the magic pattern in an instant, without touching the magic pattern.

So ......

If you want to gamble, you have to gamble big! Gustas was heartbroken, and said in a righteous manner: "If I say no, I can't drive people away, what else does it mean? How can I deny the future of a good young man for such a trivial matter?"

"Little things?" Diarra's face turned blue, he never dreamed that Gustas would downplay the actions of these civilian cadets on admission day, and the brunette boy's taunts about himself, as trivial.

"Of course it's a trivial matter!" Gustas said as a matter of course: "A bunch of hairy boys, do you still spit if you don't fight when there is a conflict?"...,

As he spoke, he looked at Roy and waved his hand indifferently, and said to Diarra, "You're so old, you can't worry about a group of children, right?"

Hearing Gustas's words, the people around him were dumbfounded, and Diarra almost vomited a mouthful of blood.

What is this called? Isn't this a clear run on people, old man?

Under the gaze of Walter and Jones Sr., Diarra's face turned pale: "What if I insist on my decision?"

This sentence is almost a direct challenge.

In the sound of gasping cold air, Gustas slowly straightened his body, opened his half-squinted eyes, pointed his short and fat fingers at his fleshy nose, and said lightly: "I am the dean!"

The words are only four words, but the meaning is very clear.

Lao Tzu is the dean, you shit is still a deputy! I want to refute my decision, wait until you become the dean!

Rumble...... An invisible shockwave spread out as the crowd spread around.

People stared at Gustas as if they didn't recognize him. Especially some students and some new teachers, they never thought that the dean, who had always been lazy, confused and temperamental, would have such a strong side.

And those who were familiar with Gustas woke up suddenly. Only then did they remember that this amiable dean, no matter how kind he was on the outside and how lazy and confused his personality was, he was a majestic and strong man who could not be offended!

Gustas, a fifth-order celestial sage!
