Chapter 104 Corleone Family (3)
Stepping out of the door, Elias' eyes narrowed as the amused smile on his face gradually disappeared.
"Tsk, a troublesome one."
"Who the hell was that guy? Calling me out like that, how arrogant."
Hajin yawned lazily. Even though he said that, he didn't really show any signs that he took the criticism of the President to heart.
"Someone dangerous."
Elias replied with a shake of his head.
Hajin and Ragna both suddenly turned to look at him in surprise. They haven't heard Elias feel that way against someone before.
From what they had seen of Elias, he was full of confidence and didn't seem to have the concept of 'fear' or 'caution' ingrained in him.
For him to call someone dangerous... he must really have a high evaluation of that President from the Council.
Seeing their expressions, Elias guessed what they were thinking and smiled in an amused manner.
"What are those faces? I just called him dangerous. He's quite capable, perhaps the most capable person in the academy."
To say the President was the most capable student in the entire academy was not an exaggeration in the slightest.
The Supreme Student Government members were students specially handpicked and approved by the academy dean himself.
That meant that their abilities, capabilities and down from their character was scrutinized and personally approved by the academy dean.
Furthermore, the selection process of the Supreme Student Government was very strict and severe, even for genius students.
For the sake of the acadeny's order, there could be no bias and compromise to the requirements.
To be the leader of such a prominent and huge organization... that alone spoke volumes of the President's capability and power as a student.
Even more impressive, throughout the long history of the arcane academy, the President was considered as one of the most capable students to ever set foot in the Supreme Student Government.
He excelled in almost every area, and in the list of people Elias was most wary of in the academy, the President was part of them.
Therefore, it wasn't a stretch that Elias was wary of the President.
"That's a high assessment from you... how interesting,"
Hajin hummed before he fell silent. He suddenly remembered the criticism the President gave him.
Ragna asked straight to the point.
"Hehe, he's gonna be an enemy or an ally, boss?"
"I don't know,"
Elias shrugged with an amused smile. He took a glance at the Supreme Student Government door.
"Frankly speaking, he's someone we should definitely be wary about... not just because of his strength, but also because of his authority and influence."
"One word from that man, our dreams might as well be over before it even starts."
Hearing that, Hajin and Ragna's expression couldn't help but turn serious and solemn by the revelation.
"However,"
Elias suddenly turned around and patted both their shoulders, looking at them dead in the eye with a confident smile.
"You have me. There's nothing to worry about. I'll tell you once, I'll tell you again: with the three of us together, we're invincible."
"Don't forget that. Ever."
Elias sternly reminded them before turning his back. His expression immediately fell into deep contemplation.
The President words were definitely not something he could ignore casually.
'It seems he noticed... will he be an enemy or an ally?' nove-lb)1n
It would be troublesome if the was the former.
Having the Supreme Student Government as an enemy this early would be extremely detrimental for his plans.
But thinking about it, he was just worrying for nothing.
It was unlikely for the SSG to an enemy at this early. If the President's words were anything to go by, the Council was not going to interfere with his plans for now.
For now, Elias inwarldly thought. He was not a threat for now so the President couldn't care less to bother him.
But when he becomes a threat, the President would likely be the first one to volunteer to eradicate his club from the academy.
'But that would be under the condition he's still the academy...'
Elias mused silentltly. If he remembered right from the novel, the President was already a third year and would advance to Rank C during the midterms...
...The rule of the academy is when a student advances to Rank C, they automatically graduate, no matter the year they are in.
So there was nothing to be concerned about. The President was a man one step out of the academy.
By the time Elias plans start to advance, the President was likely to already be out of the academy.
'It's a typical case of suffering from success. The more competent you are, the faster you graduate from the academy.'
Elias shook his head and focused on his present matters. He stepped forward and told Hajin and Ragna,
"Follow me. Let's go to the other department."
***
There were a total of three departments in the academy; the Hunter department where they came from, the Sorcerer department, and the Combat Mage department.
The three departments had their own area of specializations, and thus were separated from each other.
Walking through the halls of the Sorcerer department, Elias saw a similar scene of other students publicly recruiting passing students.
But like him, most of the passing students ignored those recruiters with a disgusted look on their face.
"So who's our fourth member again?"
At this moment, Hajin sighed and crossed his arms together.
"You'll meet him soon enough,"
Elias answered vaguely. He approached one of the rooms and pushed it open, revealing a wide laboratory.
Inside the laboratory, there were plenty of students wearing a plain white lab-coat. They were all focused on what they were doing.
"Scaffold!"
Elias suddenly shouted, causing the tense, freezing silence in the room to break apart like fragile glass.
The students were startled and had their focus broken apart. One of them had their experiment suddenly fail from the sudden distraction.
"Uh-uh... This is not looking good, must you scream?"
Hajin took a step back, scratching his head awkwardly while looking at Elias who was unbothered.
At that moment, every student in the room slowly directed their gaze at the three of them, filled with fury and anger.
