Chapter 115

Locke Capet?

The smile on the faces of Joanna and the others suddenly froze, and the stiff smile gradually dissipated, and their faces were finally filled with shock.

Joanna’s face froze. She stared at Locke in disbelief, trying to find the trace of joking on Locke’s face. After a long time, she seemed to come to her senses. “Are you Locke Capet?”

Locke nodded with a smile.

Seeing Locke nod, the others no longer doubted that they had heard it wrong.

If the man in front of them was Locke Capet, then…

They all looked at Lydia, and all the doubts in their hearts were solved at once. As friends of Lydia, they knew a lot about her.

When Lydia said she wanted to break up with Locke, they didn’t stop her. From their point of view, they thought that Lydia and Locke Capet were from two different worlds. Breaking up was good for both of them.

However, the former loser had actually become a super genius. Everyone’s expression changed from shock to complexity, and the whole scene quieted down for a moment.

Seeing the strange expressions on their faces, Locke had no intention of staying any longer, so he said, “I have something else to do, so I have to go now.”

“Mr. Capet, thank you again for saving my life. If you need any help in the future, just let me know.”

Seeing that Locke was about to leave, Joanna took a deep breath and said seriously.

“It’s okay. You don’t have to worry about it. It’s just a piece of cake.”

After saying that, Locke raised his foot and walked away.

Looking in the direction in which Locke left, Joanna held Lydia in her arms, sighed slightly and comforted her, “Lydia, everything is over.”

Hearing Joanna’s words, Lydia began to sob. “Joanna, I regret…”

The others also stood there in silence with complicated expressions. No one had ever thought that the loser they used to despise was the one who had saved their life.

It had been a day since Locke met Joanna and the others. Locke and Athena were reading in the yard.

In another chair, it was Mallory who had just sat down.

After taking a sip of tea, Mallory said directly, “Locke, the academy has arranged a task for you.”

However, Locke shook his head decisively, grabbed the magic book beside his, read it and said lazily, “Sorry, I refuse that.”

He did not forget that he came to the Scilar Magic Academy to learn magic. If he had time to carry out any tasks, he would rather lie on the chair and read books.

It seemed that Mallory had foreseen that Locke would refuse him, so he was not discouraged. He smiled and said, “Well, let’s make a deal. Do you still remember the level-5 magic of fire at the last auction?”

Locke nodded but said nothing.

Mallory continued, “In exchange, we can give you a copy of this magic book.”

The copy was a copy of the magic book, almost the same as the original one. A level-5 magic book was indeed incomparably precious.

Although Locke was a little tempted, he was not stupid enough to agree immediately. He asked, “What do you want to say?”

“According to the rules of the Scilar Magic Academy, students of Grade 1 need to go to the Nariel Mountains of Magical Beasts for training.” With a smile on his face, Mallory continued, “As you know, the Nariel Mountains of Magical Beasts is very dangerous, so a tutor is needed to lead the team to ensure the safety of the students. I hope you can also go to the training for the students of Grade 1.”

“There are many teachers in the school. Why do you let me go?” Locke asked in confusion. It was impossible for such a big school to have no teachers to lead the team.

Sighing helplessly, Mallory said with a bitter smile, “For some unknown reason, there was a riot in the Nariel Mountains of Magical Beasts. Even in the periphery, there used to be a level-4 magical beast. Therefore, an ordinary level-4 mage could not complete this leader’s task at all.”

A riot happened in the Nariel Mountains of Magical Beasts? Wasn’t it under Badal’s control? How could there be a riot?

Hearing what Mallory said, Locke was confused. In this case, he should go to the Nariel Mountains of Magical Beasts. After all, Badal was his subordinate now.

However, the reward should not be less.

Thinking of this, Locke stretched out two fingers, revealing a row of white teeth and said, “Two level-5 magic books.”

Mallory was stunned. After a while, he said with a bitter smile, “There are only a few level-5 magic books in the Scilar Magic Academy. You actually want two at a time…”

Although he was complaining, he knew that Locke was not the one to suffer losses, so he finally nodded and said, “Only two level-5 magic books!”

Seeing that Mallory had agreed, Locke sat up from the chair, reached out his hand and said lightly, “Since it’s a deal, shouldn’t we pay the deposit first?”

“Alas!”

Seeing Locke take it for granted, Mallory’s mouth twitched. He couldn’t help cursing in his heart, “If this boy goes to do business, he must be a profiteer!”

He took out a level-5 magic book and threw it on the table. Mallory stood up and was about to leave. If he continued to stay here, he suspected that he would be pissed off to death.

“I have to make it clear first. I won’t do anything unless their lives are in danger.” Ignoring Mallory who was about to leave, Locke couldn’t wait to look through the level-5 magic and said without raising his head.

Mallory stopped, waved his hand indifferently and said with a smile, “As long as you promise that they won’t lose their lives.”

The next day, the news that Locke was going to be the leader of the training team was announced in the school, which naturally caused another argument.

In many people’s eyes, although Locke was a level-3 mage, his experience was not as good as the well-known mages. Moreover, most of the tutors who led the team in the past were level-4 mages. They entrusted such an important task to Locke. What if something unexpected happened?

During this period, many people went to the Office of Academic Affairs to object to Locke being the team leader, but it was useless. They were all rejected by the Office of Academic Affairs.

Soon, the training time came.

On the square, all the students of the fire magic, Grade 1, gathered together, with about 80 students in four classes.

Seeing that Locke hadn’t come yet, Mallory didn’t waste any more time and planned to give a speech first.

“Students, next, you will have two weeks of training in the Nariel Mountains of Magical Beasts. I can’t deny that you will encounter setbacks and dangers during the training, but this is training for all of us.”

“I believe that after this training, your magic will definitely become stronger, your mind will be more mature and firm,”

Then there was an hour-long speech. It didn’t stop Mallory until the students were sleepy.
