Chapter 52: Concerns

She couldn't sit still, so she called Arak over: "Arak, what's wrong with you?" Now you're the only student in our fire magic class who didn't make the list. Today is the deadline for registration. If you miss this year's assessment, you have to stay in school for another year, wasting a year of youth! ”

In fact, in her opinion, if Arak could win a better position this year, it would greatly boost her status in the academy and her reputation in the imperial capital.

Arak also said sadly: "Teacher, it's not that I don't want to submit the list, it's that I can't find a third person to team up with me!" ”

Jessica said, "If you can find one, why can't you find a second?" By the way, who have you found so far? ”

Arak replied: "Leon Vic. ”

Jessica immediately covered her forehead with a pained expression on her face. She sighed for a long time before she sighed and said, "Although I know that you have a good relationship with Leon in private, you know, this is an academy evaluation!" You know how important that is to you? You should at least find someone stronger than you, not a mop! ”

Arak immediately retorted, "Mentor Jessica, Leon is not as miserable as you think. ”

Jessica laughed, "Then you're really lucky, then why don't you just call which 'Muggle' as well, aren't you called the three fools of the academy?" Obviously, this was Jessica's casual remark.

But Arak replied, "Really? Can it really be? But Ace is not a student of our academy. ”

"Of course not. I'm just talking about it casually. Don't take it seriously! Jessica was almost laughed at by Arak.

Arak shook his head and sighed in a low voice, "Hey, it's a pity, Ace is much better than me." The voice was so low that he could barely hear it.

At this time, a voice suddenly sounded: "Yes! ”

Arak and Jessica looked up at the same time, but they saw an old man with a white beard standing behind them. is the vice president of the college.

Jessica quickly stood up and bowed respectfully to the old man: "Hello vice dean! ”

Arak also hurriedly saluted.

"Fill out the registration form." Gandalf Ohr said.

"Huh?" Arak looked dazed, not knowing what the vice dean meant.

Then Gandalf said, "I wonder what power the child in your mouth has, which makes you feel that he is much stronger than you, and that you can sincerely admire." ”

Hearing this, Jessica next to her suddenly became worried: "Vice Dean, this is not good, Ace is not a wizard at all, he is just a Muggle!" ”

"Muggles? Don't you think it's inappropriate to say the word Muggle from the mouth of an academy tutor? Mentor Jessica Norman. Gandalf said, staring at the female tutor.

Jessica only felt a little cold on her back and felt regretful. The word "Muggle" is something that an uneducated person would say, and it carries a serious insult.

Just now, she was so excited that she said the word "Muggle". It seems that her future promotion in the academy is basically hopeless.

Arak waved his hand and said, "Dean, you may have misunderstood, my friend is indeed not a student of the academy, nor is he a magician, so he is not eligible to participate in the academy's evaluation. ”

Are you kidding? If Ace really participated in the assessment, wouldn't his identity as a dark mage be exposed? Arak didn't want to take such a risk.

"Who said this college assessment must be for college students? Are there any rules in our school? We look for powerful young people in the empire. Gandalf asked with a smile.

Arak recalled, there didn't seem to be such a provision in the house rules.

Gandalf continued: "And the way of assessment has changed this time, can't the restrictions on evaluators change? And I've heard that Ace often comes to school and reads in the library, and now he can be considered half a student of the academy. ”

Arak could not argue with this.

"Well, you'd better fill out the list now. Don't worry so much. I want to see the strength of that peer who is strong in your eyes. Gandalf pushed the application to Arak.

Arak thought carefully for a long time, and finally gritted his teeth: "As long as you promise me one condition, I will fill out the registration form immediately." ”

Gandalf smiled, his beard shaking. "Smart kid, you even know that you can talk about conditions! So, what are the conditions? ”

Arak said solemnly, "No matter what unexpected move Ace makes, you should protect him from others, including the Empire!" ”

"Empire? Is it that serious? I'm really getting more and more curious. Well, as long as he doesn't kill in the evaluation competition! Gandalf readily agreed.

Arak got the vice dean's promise and immediately showed a happy smile: "Since the vice dean agreed, then it's a deal!" ”

After saying that, Arak picked up the application form, wrote down the names of the three brothers, and handed it to Jessica, who watched in amazement as Arak happily hummed a tune and ran out.

"It's the first time I've seen this little guy smile so happily. Although I spent most of my time on the top floor, I still had some idea of the character of many of the students in the college. Now I'm really getting more and more curious about what kind of person Arak admires! ”

"What? You, did you really write Ace's name? Leon looked shocked.

Seeing the gazes of the others in the bar, Arak hurriedly said, "Fatty, be quiet!" ”

Leon quickly covered his mouth.

Ace's face was calm and he couldn't see any mood swings.

Arak was a little uneasy: "Ace, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to reveal your identity, but the vice dean promised me that no matter what you did at the time, he would stand up and protect you." I just wrote your name. ”

Ace didn't blame Arak at all: "It's okay, I know you didn't mean to hurt me. Actually, I was thinking. I can't keep hiding like this. You know, sooner or later I'll be exposed. If I take this opportunity to use the Vice-Dean's shelter to confess my identity, then I don't need to hide anymore. ”

Arak didn't expect that Ace seemed to have the idea of acknowledging his identity a long time ago.

"Ace, have you really thought about it? You know, the Empire banned the use of dark magic more than a decade ago. Wouldn't it be dangerous if you did expose it? "Arak is still a little worried.

Leon also said: "Yes, Ace, it may really not be appropriate to do so. Using dark magic in front of so many people would surely shake the entire imperial capital. At that time, what would we do if the Judicial Division forcibly wanted to arrest people and the Vice-President did not dare to stand up? ”

Arak and Leon looked at Ace at the same time.

"Don't worry, it is said that the vice principal has always had a good reputation in the academy, but even if he doesn't speak on my behalf, there will always be someone in this imperial capital who is willing to speak for me." Ace seemed confident.
