Chapter 190 - Headmaster

After Max returned to his group, He immediately asked Belen for her “life potion.”

“I’m sorry Max. All of it has been used up.” Belen smiled bitterly. This was the first time he had asked for her help directly, but she couldn’t help.

Max frowned and was about to open his system to check if there was any medicine capable of healing the scar on Flavia’s face.

Belen suddenly said, “If you want it to heal her scar, the life potion won’t be able to do it.”

“Oh, why? I remember that Rima’s scars had disappeared after taking it.” Max frowned.

Belen shook her head, “Yes, you are right. However, that was only because they were skin scars. Flavia, on the other hand, has bone-deep scars.”

Max nodded his head in understanding. Life potion was basically the more effective version of healing pills and could only heal injuries, not scars. The reason why it could heal skin scars was just a side effect.

“Do you know anything that can heal her scar?” Max asked since she was the most knowledgeable about the medicine. If she didn’t know anything, he would have to look in his system shop.

Hearing his question, Belen suddenly thought of something, and her eyes twinkled.

She nodded and said, “Only peak grade three or grade four medicine can heal that kind of scar. However, such high-grade medicine cost a fortune since they are very rare due to the fact that there aren’t many mages who focus on alchemy and the resources required to make them are also rare.”

“How many mana stones would be enough to buy that medicine?” Max hurriedly asked, hearing that there was medicine available that could heal her.

Although he was pretty sure that he could find something to heal her in his system shop, he didn’t want to use his precious LPs to unlock it because the things in the system shop cost a lot.

The pill he bought previously needed thirty thousand LPs to unlock.

Seeing his expression, Belen smiled and said, “I don’t know the exact amount, but the cheapest grade three medicine costs around ten thousand low grade mana stones.”

Hearing this, his expression froze. Where would he get so many mana stones from?

Initially, he was thinking that the mana stones he would get from exchanging the beast cores would be enough to buy it.

However, even after exchanging all thirty cores, he would be far from having enough to buy even the cheapest grade three medicine.

Moreover, all of the beast cores weren’t only his and, according to Belen, the medicine needed to heal her scar might even be a grade four medicine.

If that were to be the case, the cost would be multiplied by tens or even hundreds of times.

Belen smiled and understood why his expression was becoming ugly. She then said, in a suggestive tone, “Although I’m not sure, if you participate in the ranking competition, you might be able to gather enough mana stones.”

“Oh, is that so?” Max said and again fell into his spiral of thoughts. However, he couldn’t think about the things clearly when a dominant voice sounded out.

“Silence!”

Swoosh!

Following the voice, a few figures appeared on the stage. Everyone became quiet and looked towards the stage.

Three people were standing on the stage right now.

In the middle, stood a man who looked to be in his sixties, while on his left and right stood a man and a woman.

The man[Ma1] was middle-aged, his face was stern as he coldly glanced at the disciples, and he was the one who shouted just now. As for the woman, she looked to be in mid-twenties and was very beautiful[Ma2] , she had fair skin, long black hair tied elegantly behind, her figure was also stunning.

Max and others who had been recruited from Zexin city recognized her. She was the second envoy, Adrienne.

The elderly man stood there and glanced at the disciples with a light-hearted smile on his face.

The disciples looked at him in confusion. No matter how they looked at him, he appeared to be just an ordinary old man.

However, seeing two elders standing behind him wearing respectful expressions, they knew that he wasn’t a normal man. Some thought of a possibility, and their expressions also became respectful.

Just as he appeared on the stage, every elder and disciplinary hall[Ma3] disciple bowed, “Greetings, headmaster!”

Hearing this, every disciple realised that he was the legendary headmaster, and they hurriedly bowed and greeted, “Greetings, headmaster!”

The headmaster smiled and nodded, “Hello everyone.”

After that, every disciple stood with their backs straight and looked at him with utmost attention.

The headmaster then said, “I hope you all have realised your strengths and weaknesses after this outing and will work hard to become stronger.”

“I’m here today to announce that in four months from now, a selection competition will be organised. The top ten participants will be eligible to take part in an inter-academy competition. Every inner disciple of the age of 24 or below is welcome to participate in it. Work hard. ”

Swoosh!

As he finished saying this, his figure disappeared from the stage like a ghost.

All of the disciples were stunned to see this. Just a second before, he was in front of them, and in the next, he vanished, as if he wasn’t there to begin with.

“What speed! We didn’t even see how he left. ”

“He is just as the rumours stated, fearsome.”

‘He seems to have reached the peak of the four-star realm.’ Evangeline took a deep breath. ‘It seems my decision to join Cloud Academy was right.’ A smile appeared on her face.

“Woah! Will I be able to do this someday?” Leticia exclaimed. As a wind elemental mage, her speed was very fast, and it was increasing with the increase in her strength.

However, she couldn’t even see his shadow as he left. She wondered how much stronger she needed to be to do something like this.

Max was also astonished. Even with his senses, he couldn’t see how or in which direction he left. It was as if he had vanished into thin air.
