Chapter 361: Platinum Shield That Consumes Capital
Translator: Lonelytree
The 15th floor of the Cauldron House.
In a classroom the size of a basketball court, Matthew met his personal instructor, Ms. Margaret.
According to David’s introduction, this lady was famous for her vicious combat spells.
In the Battle Mage competition held within the Alliance, she had won the championship in different levels of events.
Margaret was also the only high-level mage with the Al rank who was still active as an instructor for a long time.
She was Level 20, only one step away from Legendary.
When Matthew saw her, she was wearing ordinary home clothes and slippers. Her ten white and tender toes were painted with crystal clear rose-red nail polish.
She wore a pair of half-rimmed glasses on the bridge of her nose. The rose-red frame made her skin look even fairer.
Compared to her reputation, Margaret was rather petite. Even when she stood on the stairs, she could only reach Matthew’s chin.
However, this did not damage her dignity at all.
Matthew had just walked into the classroom, and Margaret’s glance made him feel as if he had been targeted by a top predator.
That feeling came from the depths of his soul.
“Hello, Miss Margaret. My name is Matthew…” Before Matthew could finish his self-introduction.
The other party rudely interrupted,
” I know your name is Matthew, and you know my name is Margaret. That’s enough. Don’t talk so much nonsense. My time is precious, and the time in this magic classroom is even more precious. If it were someone else, they would have to spend at least 20,000 gold coins or 1 knowledge point to activate a full class of ‘Soria’s Magic Classroom’. For me, the bill is halved, but I still have to race against time.
Let’s cut to the chase. I know you have some background, but your other identities don’t count here. You are my student and must obey all my commands unconditionally, even if I ask you to kneel down and lick my toes.
Do you understand?”
Matthew was stunned.
He did not like Margaret’s domineering style, but high-level mages more or less had strange flaws. Margaret was famous, so she definitely had something up her sleeves.
In order to learn spells, Matthew decided to swallow his pride.
“I understand.”
Margaret pushed up the right side of her glasses.
“If you make a stupid mistake, I will make you kneel down and lick my toes.
“However, if I find out that you deliberately made such a mistake, I will give you an even more unforgettable experience. I hope that I won’t find any flaws, my dear student.”
After saying that.
She signalled Matthew to sit down with her eyes, then took out a magic staff from her ear and tapped it gently.
In the next second.
Something that shocked Matthew happened.
A beautiful magic light circled around Margaret’s body.
The casual clothes on her body instantly disappeared.
What replaced it was a white shirt, a black tight-fitting uniform, and a familiar skirt.
Her outfit and her glasses made Matthew’s heart flutter.
“I heard that you like this kind of attire, so I deliberately changed into this.
Don’t misunderstand. Being happy helps to improve the efficiency of the class. In order to make the students more focused, I will take all measures.”
Margaret said calmly.
Matthew asked shyly, “Where did you hear that from?”
Margaret replied,
“Edmond.
“I heard that vou iust ioined the Alliance. You Drobablv don’t know vet, but our Master Mage is a super gossip king.
“He was very keen on finding gossip and was also very willing to share the gossip he saw with others.
“What was even more terrifying was that he had extremely powerful observation abilities.
“It was precisely because of Sir Edmond’s existence that there was almost no gossip within the Alliance that was banned.
“A blessing in disguise is that when Lord Edmond goes around collecting gossip, he will always catch many spies from the outer planes or other factions that are planted within the Alliance.
“In short, if you have a secret, it’s best to stay away from that kind-looking old pervert.
Of course, not everyone knows about your fetish. Edmond only shares it with a few of his friends. He told the news to my teacher, Soria, who told me about it.”
Margaret spoke very quickly.
Fortunately, Matthew’s attention was highly focused, so he heard every word.
Soria…
He noticed a very important name.
‘ No wonder Margaret said that she didn’t care about my identity. She’s Soria’s student. ”
Matthew suddenly understood.
Soria was one of the three Heavenly Mages of the Alliance. She was said to have been on par with Isabelle. Her current level could be a Superior Legend or a Holy Mage. No one could be sure.
In short, she was on the same level as Isabelle.
“I understand, but why don’t you change back? I think it’s more comfortable that way.”
Matthew said painfully.
He had no choice.
The temperance domain told him that he was there to learn practical skills. He shouldn’t be distracted.
Margaret didn’t say anything and swiftly changed back into her original form.
In the next second.
Margaret tapped lightly with her staff again.
A clear wall of light appeared behind her.
There were words and pictures on the light wall, giving people the feeling of a slide show.
“My crash course is divided into two parts: theory and practical. The first two classes will be theoretical..”
