Chapter 153

Looking at the wide back of Count Tyson, Bryce was a little stunned, and then a surprised look appeared on his face. “Does… Does he agree to our relationship?”

Even though she knew her father very well, Cindy was not sure about it at the moment. She said with uncertainty, “Maybe… He just wants to beat you up.”

Hearing this, the smile on Bryce’s face gradually stiffened.

After the fight between Bryce and Flynn, the atmosphere at the party became livelier. Two more students came to the arena.

Marquis Hyman and Count Grace came to greet Locke. They chatted for a while and got closer to Locke. Then the two left.

Halfway through the dinner party, Athena felt bored and left first.

As for Locke, he came to Mallory with a glass of wine. With a flick of his finger, a magic barrier was formed around them to isolate the conversation between the two.

After releasing the barrier, Locke said with a smile on his face, “The training is over. Should you give me the reward?”

“Don’t worry. Everything is ready.” Looking at Locke’s anxious look, Mallory said with a smile.

Then he waved his hand, and a book about level-5 wind magic appeared on the table.

Locke didn’t look through it and directly put it into the system space.

Seeing that Locke had put away the magic book, Mallory raised his glass and said seriously, “Locke, thank you.”

If Locke hadn’t been there, the casualties would have been horrible.

Locke gently clinked his glass with Malloy’s. After taking a sip of the wine, he chuckled and said, “If you really want to thank me, there’s a chance now.”

Upon hearing this, Mallory put down his glass and looked at Locke warily. Then he asked slowly, “What’s the matter?”

Should he be so careful?

Locke couldn’t help complaining in his heart when he saw that Mallory was so cautious about him.

After that, Locke stopped smiling and said, “I’m going back to my own territory.”

“Are you going back?” Hearing this, Mallory’s face changed. “Did the Scilar Magic Academy do anything that displeased you?”

Locke shook his head and said with a smile, “I’m the leader of Lister. I think Lister needs me more than the Scilar Magic Academy.”

“You can also stay in the academy, and your territory can also develop,” persuaded Mallory. Seeing that Locke’s attitude was still firm and unchanged, he seemed to have made up his mind. He gritted his teeth and said, “If you are willing to stay in the academy, I can give you the treatment as a vice-dean.”

The treatment as a vice-dean? Locke was a little surprised. He could tell that Mallory had tried his best to persuade Locke to stay.

But as expected, Locke shook his head and refused.

Seeing Locke’s tough attitude, Mallory felt helpless. Finally, he sighed and said, “Well, let’s talk about what you need my help first.”

“I set up a school in Lister.”

Locke took a sip of wine and said with a smile.

“A school?” Mallory was a little stunned. After a while, he couldn’t help but sigh, “You are so ambitious. I remember that Lister isn’t so big, but you have already begun to build a school there.”

Locke smiled helplessly and said, “Now I need a lot of magic books, so…”

It was very clear that he hoped that Mallory could help him solve the problem of the magic book.

Of course, Mallory understood what Locke meant. Looking at Locke, he fell silent slowly. After all, magic martial arts was the root of a force and were of great importance.

Locke was not in a hurry. He just waited for Mallory quietly.

Lowering his head, Mallory stared at his glass. After about ten seconds, he raised his head and said in a low voice, “I can make a decision. I’ll give you a copy of the magic book of level 4 and below.”

Hearing what Mallory said, Locke was a little surprised. As far as he knew, except for a few level-5 magic books, most of the magic books were level 4 and below. Mallory copied almost all the magic books in the Scilar Magic Academy.

“I only have one demand. No, to be exact, it’s a request.”

Fixing his eyes on Locke, Mallory said in a low voice, “I hope you can help me when the disaster happens to the Scilar Magic Academy.”

Not to mention Athena, a level-7 mage, but Locke was able to deal with the level-5 magical beasts now, and he must be promising.

Locke was stunned for a moment. Looking into Mallory’s eyes, he took a deep breath and said seriously, “If one day the Scilar Magic Academy is in trouble, I, Locke Capet, will never stand by and do nothing.”

Hearing Locke’s promise, a smile appeared on Mallory’s face. At the same time, he added, “If you want, the academy competition will be held in six days. You can leave after the competition.”

“The academy competition?” Locke was confused. Why didn’t he know there was a big competition?

“You don’t even know about the academy competition? You are really not suitable to be a teacher of the academy.” Seeing Locke’s confused look, Mallory scolded him with a smile. However, he still introduced, “In order to promote the students’ enterprising spirit, the academy will hold a competition every year. The students of the same grade will compete on the stage and win the top ten. Of course, the top ten students will be rewarded by the academy.”

As he spoke, Mallory looked at Locke and added, “Of course, the teachers of the top ten students will also receive a lot of rewards.”

Sure enough, when he said that teachers would also be rewarded, he only saw Locke’s eyes lit up. He finally realized that Locke was a greedy little boy.

On the other side, Locke also felt shocked and immediately became very interested in the competition.

Nodding his head, he looked serious and said seriously, “As the teacher of Class 4, fire type, I won’t leave the school until the competition is completed.”

It had to be admitted that Locke was interested in the reward of the academy. Of course, in fact, Locke didn’t do that all for the sake of rewards. Since he came back from the training, the small universe in his body had come to a bottleneck, with the omen of breakthrough. Therefore, he planned to take good care of practice.

Besides, he had the most important thing to do, charge interest.

Hearing Locke’s impassioned words, Mallory couldn’t help but roll his eyes.

After clinking glasses with Mallory, Locke didn’t stay any longer. He removed sound insulation magic, stood up and left.
