Chapter 7

Others might not know, but these four teachers from the Magic Academy knew…

This ordinary-looking headmaster was a Great Mage.

He was once a Great Mage who stirred up storms in the capital!

They did not dare to provoke such a person.

After Rayne told them to restrain their auras, he looked at Karl, surprised.

“In just one night, your rank has increased to intermediate stage one-star mage.”

“Yes, Headmaster.”

Karl nodded in response. It was all thanks to Rayne that he could raise his rank so quickly.

However, he couldn’t say it out loud.

His possession of the system was the biggest secret of his life.

He would not let anyone in this world know about it.

Hearing Karl’s response, Rayne nodded slowly.

Then, he lowered his head and closed his eyes. It was as if he had nothing to do what was to happen next.

“You should know why we’re here this time, Karl.”

Gargado from the Holy Vestige Magic Academy looked at Rayne carefully and said softly, “Why don’t you listen to our offers first?”

The moment she finished speaking, the burly middle-aged man with white hair spoke up. “I won’t say anything unnecessary. If you are willing to join the Holy Church Magic Academy, you will get a 500,000 gold coin scholarship and one B-class lightning magic skill.”

Gold coins, silver coins, bronze coins.

These were the currency in circulation on the Magic Continent.

How much exactly was 500,000 gold coins?

Take Karl for example. His annual expenses would not exceed one gold coin.

If he continued living his current lifestyle, the 500,000 gold coins were enough to last him a lifetime.

Furthermore, there was also a B-class magic skill.

To a mage, that was definitely worth more than 500,000 gold coins.

“Hmm.” Karl nodded slowly after the man finished talking.

To another lightning mage, a B-class lightning magic skill might be quite valuable.

However, Rayne had just given him an S-class lightning magic skill, Calamity of Destruction, the day before.

Compared to a B-class skill, the difference between the two was like heaven and earth.

Karl was naturally not interested.

In comparison, he was more interested in the gold coins.

“Teachers, what are your offers?”

Karl asked the other three teachers seriously.

“Oh?”

The people from the Four Major Magic Academies were somewhat surprised.

Anyone else would have been excited upon hearing these rewards. How could this kid be so calm?

His disposition was not bad.

What a promising kid.

“Karl, the offer from the Holy Glory Magic Academy is better than that of the Holy Church. We will give you 500,000 gold coins, a B-class lightning magic skill and also waive all your tuition fees.”

The skinny man from the Imperial Capital’s Holy Glory Magic Academy spoke up.

“Everyone’s offer is a little too low. It seems you are not sincere enough.”

Gargado’s gaze swept across the other three before she slowly said to Karl, “We will give you 1,000,000 gold coins and a B-class lightning magic skill.

Also, if you choose to come to the Holy Vestige Magic Academy, we will provide you with all the potions and magical crystals you need to advance your ranking these four years.”

The other three teachers were surprised.

Karl had never come into contact with all these before, so he didn’t know much about it.

But the other teachers knew very well.

When a mage reached a bottleneck, they needed the help of special potions or magical crystals to help them break through.

These things were not cheap.

If the value of all these were converted into gold coins, it would be close to ten million!

Their sincerity was overflowing.

Although, the other three magic academies could afford it too, it would be unfair to the other students with elite magical talents.

If every student with elite magical talent was given such benefits, even the Four Major Magic Academies would not be able to afford it.

The only one who remained silent was a teacher from the Imperial Capital Magic Academy.

He was an old man with a long beard wearing a purple magic robe.

The old man looked at Gargado, then at Karl. “Karl, the Imperial Capital Magic Academy can match the offer from the Holy Vestige Magic Academy. Moreover, the Imperial Capital is the center of the Sacred Shield Empire. We will be of much help to your development.”

That was all?

After listening to the offer of the four magic academies, Karl felt that they were all rather boring.

If it were any other student, they would long have fainted from excitement.

But he was different.

Magic skills?

At present, he was not lacking in magic skill. After all, he possessed an S-class magic skill.

As for potions or magical crystals..

These things could help mages break through bottlenecks.

He didn’t really need it.

After all, he could share someone else’s cultivation experience.

As long as he shared enough cultivation experience, it would be easy for him to raise his rank.

Although he felt that their offer was boring, Karl couldn’t show it. He said politely, “Teachers, there’s no need to argue. I have already made my choice.”

“Oh?”

The Holy Church Magic Academy teacher said, “Speak. No matter which magic academy you choose, we will not have any objections.”

“I chose the Holy Vestige Magic Academy.”

Karl looked at the teachers of the other three magic academies and said, “Sorry, teachers.”

He had already decided to choose the Holy Vestige Magic Academy yesterday.

After all, there was an Archmagi in this Magic Academy.

His aim was very simple. It was to locate the Archmagi who had not been seen for hundreds of years.

Then, he would bind the system to him and share his cultivation gains!

“Not arrogant or rude. And polite.”

Seeing this, the old man from the Imperial Capital Magic Academy sighed. “It’s rare for someone your age to have such a disposition. In that case, I will not stay on. Headmaster Rayne, I’ll take my leave first.”

The old man bowed to Rayne and left.

Following that, the teachers of Holy Church Magic Academy and Holy Glory Magic Academy also left.

Gargado stayed.

Then, she took out two contracts.

The contents showed the items that she promised Karl earlier.

Also, there were some things to take note of after Karl entered the magic academy.

Karl looked through it.

Even though he didn’t really need these things, he wouldn’t refuse them since the Holy Vestige Magic Academy had given them to him.

Then…

Karl nicked his finger with his fingernail and dripped two drops of his blood onto the two contracts.

The contracts emitted a hazy golden light immediately.

This meant that the contract was officially in effect.

The two parties who signed the contract had to follow the requirements of the contract. Otherwise, their reputation would be damaged.

On the magic continent, except for some evil sorcerers, most mages placed great importance on their reputation.
