Chapter 496 Mistakes that Lead to Fights
496 Mistakes that Lead to Fights
The moment Vicente showed his High-level Mage aura to the people at the entrance of the Professors' Village, everyone there realized that despite his age, he wasn't weak.
The professor, in Vicente's way, glared at the young man but remained silent after feeling that aura.
'Tsk! If you're so strong, why did you hide from us?' This professor cursed Vicente in his mind. He had put himself in this situation because he thought these people were weak and were there to try something they shouldn't have.
But with the strength of this young man, it was quite possible that Newton would take them in!
Meanwhile, the woman in charge of the post immediately changed her attitude and ordered one of her men to go to Newton's residence.
Soldiers had their arrogance, and what's more, they often used their position to impose their will or even oppress people who got in their way. But even the most confident of the kingdom's soldiers would hesitate in the face of a magician who was simply acting within the law.
Why would anyone stand in the way of a more powerful being for no good reason?
The Commandant's behavior was natural, and she soon asked Vicente's forgiveness for not recognizing him.
"Commandant, Vicente Fuller and his family are welcome at Professor Newton's residence. He has asked us to escort you there." The soldier came running back a few moments after Nina's group arrived.
Hearing this, the professor, who was still standing there, tried to change how he had met these three.
"In that case, I'll take you to Newton's residence. That's all I can do to make up for what I said a few moments ago." He smiled and gestured to Vicente's group.
As reckless as this man was, he wasn't a complete fool. Vicente was much younger than he was and had contacts with Newton.
Nina didn't know what her brother and the professor had said because it was night, and she couldn't read their lips. But when she saw how Marks suddenly changed, she understood something important.
'It seems we need to know how to control our pride. Sometimes, admitting a mistake can be the best strategy.' She thought, learning from what she had just witnessed.
Meanwhile, Eve commented to Vicente. "I didn't expect this sudden change in behavior... He was arrogant and then humble."
Vicente smiled at the comment. "This man has no humility at all. But he's intelligent enough not to insist on a mistake and capable of making amends. That's the power of influence, Eva. Those who have power benefit even when they don't seek it." He showed her the discount card he had just received.
They knocked on Newton's door and soon heard the professor's voice saying that the door was open and that they should enter.
When they saw Newton in a library in the middle of the 200-
square-meter house, Nina and Eve looked around with twinkles in their eyes while the professor looked at Vicente with interest.
"Professor, we've made some progress with our move to Saltstar City. From now on, this will be our new home." Vicente said, intending for Newton to start teaching Nina in preparation.
"I thought that would be the case," Newton commented as he climbed down from a ladder next to a high shelf of books. "I have some questions about the recent events in Millfall. But let's talk about Nina first."
He stopped in front of Nina and looked into her eyes. "Are you ready to be my full-time apprentice from now on, young lady?"
Nina saw Newton make signs with his hands, something he hadn't been able to do before but had learned to do so that he could communicate better with her.
She smiled happily and immediately agreed. "Of course, master!"
"Then let's formalize our relationship." He said before doing what was necessary for Nina to finally become his de facto student.
