Chapter 321 Spying Bathing Girls Is An Art

"Are these two new students your friends?" Nyssa asked as she looked at Cheryl and Chris.

"Yes, they are. Could you take proper care of them?"

"Absolutely. I can get the two under my wing as their teacher. Is that enough?"

Arthur was not expecting her to do such a thing. Sure, he was the strongest mage on the central continent, but it was not as if he was invincible. Nyssa did not have to take them as her disciples, but if she said so, then Arthur would not go against it.

That would make sure they would be safe while he was not around, which brought him a peace of mind.

"Will you do that? Thank you, Nyssa."

"No problem. Hey, you two, come with us."

They left, leaving everyone who watched the scene dumbfounded. No one could guess Arthur was that strong, and Nyssa getting two disciples at the same time because of him was incredible.

"What brings you here today, Arthur?"

"Just visiting a friend. Theo is his name."

"Theo? He is one of our teachers and is well known for being a pervert."

A pervert was something Arthur expected of Theo, but acted as that was a surprise for him, "really? I must teach that young man a lesson. This is not the proper behavior for a teacher."

Nyssa did not buy that bullshit, but acted as she did. They walked around the school, talking about lots of stuff, none of which was important. It was more of a way for Nyssa to show the school to her new disciples, who were shocked to see such magnificence.

The last stop of the trip was in a mansion where normal students and teachers could not get near it. It was Nyssa's house, and also Chris and Cheryl's house now.

"You can pick any room. It should have some uniforms inside as well, so grab them. Me and Arthur will talk in private, but I will be back after it to talk with you more."

"Understood."

The siblings went inside the mansion while Arthur and Nyssa continued to walk around the school. He did not know where she wanted to go, but when he noticed the wooden walls and the thermal fonts, Arthur knew exactly what it was.

"A hot bath during the afternoon?"

"Well, I am a fire mage, so it feels good for me. Also, we are here not only to bathe, but to find your friend. Look, he is right there spying through that hole." Nyssa said, pointing at one of the wooden walls which were supposed to give privacy to anyone bathing.

There, Arthur saw a youth he knew well, Theo. He wore a red robe which had some flaming drawings, and his hair was also red, different from before.

"Did he dye his hair?" Arthur asked.

"Yes, and no. Did you never think about how I let a pervert like him stay in this school? Theo is the only one from this generation who got the approval of our ancestors to enter the path of flame, and he got some benefits there. He stayed there for two months, and when he got out, he had red hair."

Theo was so focused on spying that he did not notice Arthur and Nyssa right behind him.

"Yo, long time no see. Are you a pervert now?" Arthur said.

Theo, who was spying through a small gap, jumped when he heard someone talk. How did he not notice someone was there? Was his spying skills getting worse?

"Arthur? What are you doing here?" Theo said, with shock stamped on his face.

Arthur did not warn him at all about his arrival, as it was not planned, anyway. The only reason for him to go see Theo so soon was because it was along the path he was taking.

"Just passing by and thought of saying hello."

Nyssa could feel the two wanted to talk, so she said, "I'll go for a walk. We can talk later, Arthur."

Then, only Theo and Arthur remained.

"Come, I will show you where I live."

They went to a vast building, which was where all the rank 1 mages lived. It was like a dorm for those who were stronger.

Because it was in the middle of the afternoon, few mages were there, so no one paid attention to Arthur and Theo, who went up the stairs to the third floor, to the room 314, which was Theo's.

"So, how are you doing? I heard some stories about you, but I am not sure if they are true."

"Well, I am a rank 3 mage now. My wives are rank 2, and we are slowly building Odemore near the strongest school, Ouroboros, who turned out to be controlled by my grandfather."

Theo was drinking a glass of water while hearing what Arthur had to say, and spat almost all of it.

"What? Rank 3? Isn't that too fast of progress? Even for you?"

"Don't cry. How about you? Still at rank one?"

"Look, I am getting close to the rank 2, all right? I already got some powerful techniques from the path of flame, and I will catch up to you in no time."

"Okay, catching up is a bit too much. I will get to the rank 2 in no time. Better?"

"I did not even say anything. We have a lot to catch up, so where can we sit?"

Arthur filled him with all the new information, especially about the demon continent, as well as Hiley, who he was looking for. Theo was growing in authority inside the school, and that was the first step.

"Look, when you reach rank 2, we can come up with a plan for you to take control of the school. I pretend to do the same with Kai."

"Will you be leaving?"

"Not yet, but I will and that is why I want you two to have an excellent position here, as well as build Odemore to be one of the strongest schools on this continent."

"I see. And what about this demon continent? Do they truly have a rank 4 mage?"

"Don't know. The person who will explore the unknown location will be me, probably, so yeah, if I get any info, I will let everyone know."

"Right, they want you to go on this expedition thing. I mean, I would go too if I was strong, but I am way below you right now. Are you planning on bringing your wives with you?"

"I do, yes, or else the journey will be boring. But they still need to build a solid school for us, and I don't know what to do."

"Well, perhaps you can go to the other continent and bring some of your friends from there? Like Signy, Helga or Eleonora? They are surely getting strong, so maybe they can take care of this Odemore, and let someone else taking care of there." Theo said.

What he did made sense. The Odemore in the central continent would turn into the main one because the other was on a weaker continent. But could they be ready?

"There is no way of knowing the demon continent will invade only the central continent, or the others, too. So maybe bringing them here will be safer? Eleonora can be with Nefion to learn more about her draconic powers. Hum, what should I do?" Arthur entered a deep thought.
